Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 2 I said, do you want to be an actor?

Of course, Gu Ming rejected Narita Toru instantly.

joke.

He is an actor who plays an eggplant and is not afraid of being caught and deported!

If he were deported, Gu Mingke of this era would not have been born yet!

At Gu Ming's current age, if he had family in this world, he would probably be able to become brothers with his father after returning.

Reborn, my dad and I are brothers!
"I'm very sorry, but I don't think I'm cut out to be an actor, Mr. Narita. You should find someone else."

Gu Ming bowed, turned around and ran away.

Narita Heng felt a little regretful, but he was full of energy in his heart.

No matter what, he must convince Gu Ming!

Because what Narita Toru is looking for is not an ordinary person, but a suit actor who is capable of shooting special effects dramas!

This involves the unique shooting method of special effects dramas.

The so-called special effects drama is a work created through "suits" and "models" in an era when special effects were insufficient.

The world-renowned work, "Godzilla", is a leader among special effects dramas.

A suit is like a doll in an amusement park. The appearance is just the appearance, and the real soul is the person inside the suit.

Therefore, to ensure that the person who supports the Ultraman suit must have experience in suit performances, a physique that can support the suit, and most importantly, the ability to perform in various situations such as a pool, a fire scene, and on wire ropes while wearing the suit.

But this person is hard to find.

Toho Company was willing to provide some suit actors, but Narita Toru was dissatisfied with all of them.

These people's abilities are not worthy of the suit he carefully designed!

He saw clearly what Gu Ming did when he coaxed the child just now.

After meeting Gu Ming, Narita Toru also confirmed Gu Ming's height and physique.

Gu Ming's physique and skills perfectly match the image of Ultraman in his mind.

Only a person like this can live up to his suit!

Narita Heng secretly clenched his hands.

It’s Gu Mingliao.

He chose Gu Ming!
The graceful figure that could move even in a puppet costume was exactly what he had imagined.

……

……

The next day.

Gu Ming had just arrived at the convenience store and had not yet changed into his puppet costume when he heard Sako Otobe say that someone was looking for him.

Gu Ming went out with some doubts, and saw the smiling Narita Heng in front of him.

"Ah this..."

Gu Ming couldn't help but scratch his head in his heart.

"Mr. Narita, are you just passing by by chance?"

"No." Narita Heng's smile remained unchanged: "I was waiting for you specially."

Gu Ming was a little mad: "Mr. Narita, you are here for the actor's business, right? But I really can't be an actor."

However, Narita Toru came up to him as if he was familiar with everyone, without any Japanese reserve, and put his arm around Gu Ming's shoulder.

"You're really tall! Hey, how about going over there for a drink? Don't worry too much, it's my treat!"

Gu Ming refused: "Sorry, Mr. Narita, I still have work to do."

Narita Heng continued to smile as he looked at the store manager Saqin.

Gu Ming also gave him a look asking for help.

He doesn't really want to go!

Saqin Otobe understood instantly and showed a very understanding expression.

"It's okay. It's hot now, and it's not suitable for wearing a puppet costume. Furuya-kun, go ahead and don't worry."

Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh.

I didn't expect that Narita Toru would be so unscrupulous in order to get his body!
But Gu Ming still refused: "I'd better go back to work."

Although he could push Narita Heng away with one hand, Gu Ming didn't want to knock him out with a slap because he didn't want to hit someone who smiled at him.

After a few pushes and shoves, Gu Ming suddenly saw a patrolman in blue clothes passing by and stopped to look over here.

Fearing that trouble would arise again, Gu Ming nodded and said, "Okay, let's go have a drink. But don't leave too late."

He even spoke a little louder on purpose so that the patrolman could hear him. Narita Heng then patted Gu Ming on the back and said, "That's more than enough. Don't be polite to me."

Soon, the two people appeared in a roadside izakaya.

The izakaya was not open yet at this time, but for the sake of money, they were still entertained.

Of course, Gu Ming usually wouldn't spend money in such a place.

Looking at the two strings of things on the bamboo sticks in front of him, Gu Ming couldn't help scratching his head again.

"Mr. Narita, what is this...?"

"Lantern." Narita Heng explained, "It's delicious. Come and try it."

Gu Ming responded: "Okay, but what is a lantern?"

Narita Heng just spread his hands and made a gesture of invitation.

Gu Ming looked at the skewers in front of him and felt that they were very suspicious.

It has a slightly yellowish and sticky appearance, and at first glance looks a bit like an egg.

Gu Ming took a deep breath and tried to take a sip.

"……about!"

Gu Ming almost vomited on the spot.

For a moment, Gu Ming declined the offer.

If anyone invites Gu Ming to eat lanterns again, Gu Ming will treat him to a punch.

Looking at Gu Ming's hard work in wiping, Narita Heng laughed heartily.

"Why, are you not used to the smell? It's okay, I'll get used to it. Lanterns are good things."

As he said that, Narita Heng knocked down the lantern in front of him in one gulp, which made Gu Ming's eyes pop out.

For a moment, Gu Ming thought that the little guy in front of him was quite capable.

At least he couldn't eat it.

"The chicken part is delicious too."

Narita Heng touched his lips with a lingering feeling and drank the cold beer.

With this farce, the two of them became closer.

"Well, Furuya Ming, I'll call you A-Ming. A-Ming, this role is one that only you can play! I won't recognize anyone else except you, so come and give it a try. The salary will definitely satisfy you."

Gu Ming could only smile bitterly.

"It's not about the salary..."

But it’s not convenient to show up in public.

He simply pointed at himself and looked at Narita Toru.

"Mr. Narita, do you think I look like someone who can be an actor?"

Narita Toru actually observed it carefully for a while, and then nodded solemnly.

"Ah Ming, you look like you were born to be an actor!"

Gu Ming's face is extremely resolute, and he is definitely not the kind of weak man.

Tough, resolute, and cheerful.

In this era, this is exactly the kind of look that can be called a national idol.

From Narita Toru's perspective, whether in terms of figure or appearance, Gu Ming should indeed enter the entertainment industry.

Otherwise, I should go to a gigolo club or something.

Although it was a bit of a waste of talent for him to be a suit actor, he really took a fancy to Gu Ming.

Therefore, Narita Toru emphasized again: "Amin, think about it again, this role must be you! Without you in the role, the whole drama is meaningless!"

Gu Ming could only lower his head and said to Cheng Tianheng: "I will think about it again. If Mr. Cheng Tian doesn't mind, I will go back to work now."

As he spoke, he stood up and rummaged through his pockets for banknotes, but Narita Heng handed over the money first and generously said that no change was needed.

Gu Ming had no choice but to bow again and walk out of the izakaya.

Gu Ming fled away, having already made up his mind.

Consider? Consider nothing!
He is going to run away tomorrow and work anywhere, but he will never be an actor!

It is impossible to easily trust a stranger who suddenly appears.

Although the store manager Shaqin was nice to him, Gu Ming still decided to run away.

Gu Ming muttered secretly in his heart, quickened his pace, and fled the izakaya.
