Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 179 You are committing the crime of stalking
So far, Kamen Rider has aired five episodes and Maoyan has aired six episodes.

Both are entertainment works, but the audience of Kamen Rider is limited to children and parents who watch TV with their children, while Maoyan's viewing range is wider and has a higher audience.

In the evening, Takeshi Hongo has an IQ of 600, but he doesn't look very smart and is a man who appears foolish.

Late at night, Toshio Utsumi was acting silly and being teased by the cat's eye.

In this way, Gu Ming gradually gained some fame.

If his fame was previously limited to children, now his influence has extended to adults.

Toei, Oizumi Studio
"But speaking of interviews, this kind of thing isn't really suitable for me."

Gu Ming looked at Hashimoto Yoji with an apologetic expression and said, "Besides, this is Toei's studio. Is it appropriate to broadcast it on TBS?"

"It's perfect, absolutely perfect! We've collaborated with Toei on a project before!"

Of course, Yoji Hashimoto doesn't think this is a problem. Although Toei has its own TV station, it doesn't mean that Toei will not cooperate with outsiders.

There are few TV programs in Japan at present, and even fewer TV stations. Toei is a company that often broadcasts a work for two or three years. In addition, Asahi TV itself and Toei are two separate companies, so the TV works produced by Toei are often broadcast on other TV stations.

There is no competition except for works in the same time period.

Since Yoji Hashimoto said so, Gu Ming chose to acquiesce.

Well, let's do a brief interview.

"I've already thought of the title." Hashimoto Yoji took out the manuscript.

The man who stepped out from behind the scenes!

Gu Ming took a look and couldn't help laughing: "Shouldn't it be a little more impactful and dramatic?"

"for example?"

"For example, a man who becomes Ultraman?"

Hey! My friend, just take the photo without worry, I’m behind the holster!
The interview and filming went on in an orderly manner. Since they had to do post-production anyway, Gu Ming simply didn't answer the difficult questions. He just talked about how he hung out on the streets of Nara, didn't act like a good person, and was finally inspired to perform in Tokyo, etc.

When he saw the accountant leaving her workplace, he did not forget to raise his hand as a farewell.

This time it was thanks to Yuko Matsuzawa that she discovered the problem with the lighting expenses, otherwise it would have been difficult to deal with Tetsuya Inahiro, the internal corruption guy.

"Who is that?"

"Oh, that's the financial supervisor I hired specifically for Maoyan's filming. He's quite capable. He even helped us catch a corrupt official not long ago. Where were we just now?"

“Action, why did the idea of action design come about?”

"Oh, yes, I just mentioned that I've loved watching Hong Kong movies since I was a child..."

……

……

She gave a brief interview to the Maoyan crew today. Seeing that it was not too late, Matsuzawa Yuko did not bother anyone else. She carried her bag and prepared to return home slowly.

Her eyes wandered and she saw a figure in front of her wearing a headband and carrying a bag of vegetables. Matsuzawa Yuko quickly walked up and greeted him in a low voice.

"Shaqin? What a coincidence!"

"Yuko?"

The two were quite happy to meet each other, and they prepared to go back while talking and laughing.

"Speaking of which, would you like to come visit me?"

"Lately? Forget it, I won't disturb your time alone."

"You...what are you talking about!"

He was laughing and joking, and looked very happy.

After turning a corner, out of some professional instinct, Shaqin looked up and glanced at the rearview mirror on the corner of the street.

This was originally set up at street corners to prevent people from losing sight of cars when turning the corner.

But when she took a quick look, she discovered that there was a hooded man with a gloomy expression behind them, as if he was following them. This man obviously had no experience in following people and did not try to conceal his tracks.

"This guy……"

She thought of a lot of things in an instant, but after thinking about it, it should not be group classes or something like that.

After all, those people are professionals, but this guy is not only unprofessional, he is a complete idiot!

At eight o'clock in the evening, the streets were already deserted. The area just outside the film set wasn't residential, so pedestrians were scarce. Perhaps sensing an opportunity, the man behind him, with a somewhat sinister smile, pulled a kitchen knife from his sleeve.

Shaqin hissed and quickly grabbed her companion's hand.

"Run! Behind!"

"what happened?"

Looking back, they were so frightened that they hurriedly quickened their pace.

However, it is not easy to walk in slightly high shoes.

"Is anyone here? Where have all the people gone?"

"There are lights ahead."

"telephone booth?"

Without caring too much, the two of them went into the phone booth one after the other. Shaqin grabbed the handle and pressed against the covers on both sides. Dao Hengzhe also knocked a few times from the outside, but couldn't open it. He was a little annoyed, but he couldn't get in either. He could only wander outside, occasionally patting the phone booth, which made the two people inside a little panicked.

"What should I do? If only someone came over!"

"No, this place is quite remote, not a residential area, so there aren't that many people here at this time of year."

"That guy is the lighting technician who was fired for embezzling the crew's funds!"

"The crew... Oh right, can we call the crew and find out?"

"How would I know the crew's phone number?"

"Then at least the phone number for the studio can be found!"

Yuko Matsuzawa frantically flipped through the street directory and actually found the phone number of Oizumi Photography Studio.

We also have to thank the fact that landlines are everywhere nowadays, so telephone booths on street corners often set up separate street directory for some large places and important locations, otherwise we really wouldn’t be able to find the phone number of Daquan Photography Studio.

Seeing that Matsuzawa Yuko picked up the phone and the call was connected, Dao Hengzhe outside the door became more and more frantic, looking around. His eyes accidentally turned and he found a handy guy.

A pebble that looks perfect for breaking glass.

……

……

"And that's how I became an action actor."

After Gu Ming finished speaking, he spread his hands and said, "Isn't it amazing?"

Hashimoto Yoji swallowed silently.

That's truly magical! What a prodigal son story!
"Oh, the phone's ringing."

Gu Ming picked up the phone beside him.

This is the internal telephone of Daquan Photography Studio, which is equivalent to a local area network. All calls from outside can be answered by all internal calls, but only one microphone can speak at the same time.

"Hello? This is Oizumi Photography Studio."

"Daquan Photo Studio?! We met that lighting guy outside, and he had a knife! This is across from the bank!"

"What bank? Who?"

"What are you talking about? Who are you?"

The chaotic noises made Gu Ming's ears hurt, and he couldn't help but yell, "Shut up! Listen to me!"

There was a momentary silence in the microphone.

"Who are you over there? Where are you? What happened?"

"My name is Yuko Matsuzawa. I've been invited to oversee the finances of the Maoyan crew. A guy who was fired was following us with a knife. My friend Sako Otobe and I..."

Suddenly there was a loud noise and a scream came from the other end of the phone.

"Furuya-kun?"

Hashimoto Yoji rubbed his eyes.

What the hell flew out like a whoosh!
The photographer looked at him, a little confused: "Should we continue shooting?"

"Shoot, keep shooting! See what's going on!"
