Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 171 Cat's Eye is Really Smells Good
Monday, Kinoshita Danjiro hated Mondays very much.

But the work must continue.

When he got home from get off work, he saw that his son was still as disobedient as ever, so Kinoshita Danjiro felt relieved.

When Kinoshita Danjiro came back, his son was crawling and rolling on the ground.

"Dad, I don't want to work anymore! I'm so tired!"

"That's nothing I can do. Who told you to steal other people's things?"

Kinoshita Danjiro was very supportive of this matter. After Gu Ming caught Xiaoji, he arranged for him to work in a restaurant after school every day. It was called work, but in fact he just served a few plates. The main purpose was to let Xiaoji learn not to take things casually.

Kinoshita Danjiro fully supports this kind of thing.

Anyway, his son doesn't listen to him.

Xiaoji bargained: "Then I want to watch Ultraman."

"No Ultraman, today is Monday."

"There's a videotape..."

"The VCR is broken."

"Nonsense! Last night I saw you secretly playing some weird videos on your VCR. Big sister looked so pitiful without any clothes on..."

Ouch! !

Kinoshita Danjiro took off instantly.

My wife is not at home recently, and I couldn’t help but secretly watch that kind of videotape!

He is innocent too!

Kinoshita Danjiro punched Xiaoji and sent him back to his room.

He has a room full of toys, and when he opens the skylight next door, he sees other kids he knows, so he is not afraid of being alone at all.

After sending Xiaoji away, Kinoshita Danjiro finally took a breath, grabbed himself a few cans of beer, and collapsed on the sofa.

Today, the section chief assigned us a task: to watch the pilot episode of "Cat's Eyes." If the response is good, the show will be scheduled for Thursday's official broadcast.

"What cats, what sisters? It's so boring!"

Kinoshita Danjiro was very disdainful.

Of course, motorcycles are the romance of men!

There’s a beautiful motorcycle that’s become a trend in Tokyo lately, and he’s thinking about buying one.

"A man should either wear a soccer uniform and win glory for his country, or wear a medical uniform and save lives!"

"Men, put on some clothes!"

He picked his nose in a very ungraceful manner and turned on the TV.

After a moment, the film was broadcast and the specially made theme song sounded on TV.

"Rubbish, ugly, boring..."

The young lady in yoga clothes appears on the stage, leaving an endless imagination behind her back outside the screen.

hiss!
Kinoshita Danjiro took off instantly.

I'm so beautiful!
This good-looking!

Good looking, love watching, watch more!

The first episode officially started airing. The story begins with Toshio Utsumi, a police officer, responsible for protecting a treasure, but Cat's Eye fell from the sky and stole the treasure.

——In fact, only two of the three sisters appeared in the film, because the youngest sister was mainly responsible for logistics work.

Moreover, the actors are students and it is impossible for them to be responsible for large parts of the scenes.

With the exquisite use of Jissoji Akio's camera, this scene was captured quite beautifully.

The scene changes to the next day. The treasure is stolen and Utsumi Toshio is scolded by his section chief. He runs to the Cat's Eye Café in anger to drink some coffee to drown his sorrows.

Here, the relationship between the three sisters is pointed out: tears in the next life, pupils in the next life, and love in the next life.

However, due to Gu Ming's quirks, some changes were made this time. It was the eldest sister, Raibou Lei, who was in a relationship with Utsumi Toshio. As for the other two, Cat's Eye only had feelings for Utsumi Toshio, not his girlfriends. "Oh, you're so lucky, you reckless kid," Kinoshita Danjiro observed, sipping beer.

The director did not hide his intentions, so he could easily see that the three sisters actually all had a crush on Utsumi Toshio.

When the camera turned and his identity was revealed, the word "cat's eye" appeared outside the door, and Kinoshita Danjiro took off again.

"Stupid, can't you imagine! That's a cat's eye, a cat's eye! You can tell they made it. You're actually in love with a thief."

Of course, Utsumi Toshio didn't expect this.

Although he is a very responsible and proactive man, he is rather rash.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for the second act. Utsumi Toshio was once again responsible for protecting a gem collection, but because of the way the collection was protected, he had a fierce conflict with the museum owner. When he returned to the cafe to relieve his boredom, he casually mentioned to his eldest sister that the real collection was actually hidden in a secret room underground.

In the end, the three sisters used wingsuits to fly from the sky and stole the collection. Lai Sheng Ai picked them up in a plane, landed on a golf course in the suburbs, and escaped.

In the end, Toshio Utsumi complained that he failed to catch the cat's eye and was asked by the section chief to write a self-criticism.

So the three sisters could only sigh with him.

Yes, it’s really hard to guess who Maoyan is!
After watching the plot, Kinoshita Danjiro had sat up completely.

The plot is simple and clear, and the design is also quite outstanding. Jissoji Akio's use of the camera is unique, and the action follows the consistent characteristics of the agency.

In particular, as a live-action drama, there are quite a lot of big scenes.

——Although they were all shot using special effects techniques.

For example, wingsuit flying is done by hanging on a wire, the airplane is a model, and even the car chase scenes are models.

At this point in time, although there are still some traces, the scene is quite exciting.

Based on his many years of experience working at TBS, Danjiro Kinoshita could probably make a judgment.

This play is qualified to be screened at ten o'clock in the evening.

That time is when the heads of households in Japanese families watch TV.

"For the pilot episode, the ratings probably won't be too high, but the ratings won't be too low. It's a sure thing now!"

Kinoshita Danjiro clapped his hands.

Even he thought about watching it on time in the evening!
When he turned around by chance, Kinoshita Danjiro saw Xiaoji sticking his head out of the room.

"Dad, look at the other sisters! I'm going to tell Mom!"

Kinoshita Danjiro was shocked.

What a bastard!

……

……

Regardless of whether Maoyan caused any family disputes, Gu Ming felt relieved after the trial broadcast.

Some of the big scenes in Maoyan are difficult to film into a live-action drama without high investment, but it was done using special techniques.

Gu Ming did not make major changes to this script. He only enhanced the action parts while retaining the original. For example, when they were stealing things from the exhibition hall at the beginning, the eldest sister also landed with the helicopter. The eldest sister showed a very elegant high kick and kicked away Utsumi Toshio who rushed over to catch them.

Naturally, Michiko Nishiwaki was used as a stand-in here. Her toned body wrapped in yoga clothes was quite eye-catching. After kicking Toshio Utsumi away, her posture leaning on the display cabinet was also quite charming.

In short, it’s all about fashion.

The women have to be beautiful and the men have to be dashing. Various clothes are changed in rotation. Except for the male protagonist who needs to wear a police uniform, the three sisters have to change clothes in every episode to highlight their beautiful features. The battle scenes also have to be fashionable, and various high-tech props are used.

"If we keep this up, the ratings shouldn't be a problem. But regarding Kamen Rider..."

Gu Ming thought about it and realized that this was not something he needed to consider.

Toei and TV Asahi will naturally solve all the problems.

Kamen Rider premiered on TV Asahi, and was subsequently broadcast simultaneously on various well-connected TV stations, with delayed broadcasts on local TV stations across Japan.

Most, most.

Gu Ming was also considering selling a belt or something.
