Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 198 Press Conference, Determination to Become Tang Monk

The matter of Yaowanzi has been successfully resolved. At least he won't be taken away by other firms after he is promoted. Gu Ming is still very relieved about this.

As for Kanako Higuchi, she is not an action actor, but Tani Akira also stayed.

Men and women, fighting and art are the basic tone for the development of a film and television agency.

She hadn't encountered any difficulties. After all, she had always been working with Gu Ming's agency and had never met anyone else. When she heard that she could sign a contract and have an acting opportunity, she readily agreed.

After finishing a few things, Gu Ming stopped thinking about it and prepared to finish the work.

Kamen Rider changed the suit actor in this episode.

However, except for some adults with better eyesight, such as Kinoshita Danjiro, other people and some children who are obviously not very smart, such as Xiaoji, cannot see it at all.

The suit actor in the new episode is Tetsuya Nakayashiki from 'Oono Kenyukai', and Niiemoto Tatsumi gave him high praise. Now that we have seen the finished product, it is indeed good. If you don't look closely, you will definitely not be able to see any difference in the body shapes of the two suit actors, and their movements are not much inferior.

Gu Ming was relieved now.

"Then, I can focus on preparing for the Japanese version of Journey to the West. Unfortunately, this Journey to the West is not filmed by me."

Gu Ming felt a little regretful. If he had taken over all the preparations, he would have left behind a timeless classic, such as getting some popular actors to play various gods and monsters.

Ken Takakura and Jilang Shen versus Sun Wukong!
Oh! You, Erlang Shen, really make me happy!

Just stuff some girls in there, and play the role of Spider Spirit or White Bone Spirit...

Unfortunately, he didn't even get all the qualifications for the killing formation, but only got some qualifications for a stuntman, as well as the killing formation for fighting monsters on the journey to the west.

For such a large-scale production, Extreme Action Studio is still too small to be completely reassuring.

Gu Ming shook his head secretly, without thinking too much, and took Zhen Xialong and others with him first.

Today is the day when the Japanese version of Journey to the West holds a press conference.

Akasaka Prince Hotel, Roppongi, Tokyo.

Gu Ming arrived quite early, so there is no need to rush.

The actors who were supposed to play the main roles had almost arrived, but the most conspicuous person in the crowd was none other than 'Masaaki Sakai'.

This actor, who comes from a comedy family, is making people laugh at the moment, and the onlookers around him are laughing.

Gu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the woman surrounded by several people.

Masako Natsume will play the role of Tang Monk in the plot later.

Of course, she did not play the female Tang Monk, but a female actress who played the male Tang Monk, similar to Xu Xian played by Maggie Cheung.

——Also, Masako Natsume is not an adult film actress.

"You" means actor, and "nuyou" simply means actress, not porn actress. Natsume Masako's acting ability is very good, at least in the plot, she is worthy of the role of Tang Sanzang.

Gu Ming stood and watched for a while, and saw Sakai Masaaki gesturing with his hands like a monkey, and finally he couldn't help but walk over.

"I'm sorry, but since it's a monkey, it's unlikely to look like that. It's more like an ape."

Sakai Masaaki turned around, then looked up and faced Tani Akira.

This comedian-like man was not angry at being disturbed. Instead, he looked at Gu Ming with interest.

"You're that alien, right? Furuya Akira? I saw him on the news a while ago. Haha, wow... he's quite something."

Sakai Masaaki grinned, looking cheerful. "Well, what would be a more appropriate performance here?"

Gu Ming had nothing to hide and in front of a few people, he learned the standard movements of setting up a pergola.

The Monkey King in the Japanese version of Journey to the West is not made up to look like a monkey. According to the setting, the Monkey King's transformation is more complete, so he looks more like a human.

However, no matter what, it is still a monkey, and it must have the characteristics of a monkey.

Gu Ming sometimes scratched his ears and cheeks, jumped around, sometimes looked into the distance, and suddenly jumped onto the coffee table with a leap.

The coffee table couldn't bear Gu Ming's weight and staggered. Gu Ming shook his arms and seemed to fall to the ground, but fortunately he managed to keep his balance.

"Oh, this is really..." Sakai Masaaki held his forehead and sighed.

It really looks like one. In comparison, he doesn’t look like a monkey at all.

As the instructor of the killing formation, Gu Ming was not stingy and briefly explained some of the key points.

Sakai Masaaki nodded repeatedly. "Is that so? Hahaha! Furuya-kun is indeed a very qualified instructor for the killing formation. Don't worry, I will do my best to act like a monkey!"

He looked at Manatsu Ryu again.

So, this person is the action double?
Sakai Masaaki exclaimed in amazement: "Incredible, incredible! You know, your face simply shows that you should be an actor with me!" Looking at Manatsu Ryu's delighted expression, he added: "Our family has been a family of comedians for ten generations!"

Manatsu Ryu's face darkened.

He doesn’t want to be a comedian!!

……

……

After some playfulness, Gu Ming finally understood why Sakai Masaaki was so funny.

It's not to show off, but to make Natsume Masako happier.

This dignified-looking actor is now holding his hair with a worried look on his face.

She will have a press conference later and cut off all her hair to show her determination to play the role of Tang Monk.

However, as an actress who loves beauty, shaving her head is very shameful.

Gu Ming could understand that feeling, but he didn't intend to make any comments.

——Originally, Natsume Masako did not really shave her head, but wore a wig at the suggestion of the assassin.

Outside, someone pushed the door open and came in to make an announcement.

"Gentlemen, the reporters are almost all here. Let's prepare for the press conference."

"Oh!"

Everyone stood up one after another and prepared to go on stage.

Manatsu Ryu and others will also go on stage with Tani Akira and be introduced as Sakai Masaaki's action double.

Seeing that Natsume Masako did not stand up, Gu Ming stopped and looked at her.

"Still thinking about your hair?"

Natsume Masako nodded naturally.

This is a very important matter.

Hair is very precious.

"If you can't do it alone, let's do it together."

Gu Ming smoothed his hair and said, "As an action stuntman, why don't we all shave our heads together?"

Seeing her look of surprise, Gu Ming smiled back and said, "What's the use of hair?"

Having said that, he walked out of the lounge first.

It's just a haircut, no big deal.

Several people arrived at the large conference hall of Akasaka Prince Hotel, which was already filled with reporters.

After all, it's a blockbuster with a 40 million yen investment, so no one would not want to get involved.

Here, Gu Ming can only be regarded as the least noticeable one among the group.

After a few words of interview, Masako Natsume expressed her determination in front of the reporters.

"In order to become a true Tripitaka Master, I will shave my head. This way, I can better become a Tripitaka Master!"

She looked at the reporter and then looked around.

The staff has brought the electric razor.

Although I have made up my mind, when the time comes, I start to get nervous again.

Gu Ming leaned forward slightly so that she could look over there.

Then he raised his hand and made a clipping motion on his head.

Let’s all come together.

Natsume Masako looked at the staff and finally made up her mind.

Then, become a true Tripitaka Master.

She closed her eyes tightly and let the staff work on her head as they pleased. Her beautiful hair fell off, leaving only a bald head.
