Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 220: There is a common sense in apology that you don’t understand, right?

Maoyan crew, the last show before the New Year.

The comic has been out for a while now, but it hasn't been very popular. Thanks to the popularity of the TV series of the same name, it has been able to maintain its popularity.

This is also normal. Hojo Tsukasa has not yet mastered his painting skills, and there are many shortcomings in the human body. Gu Ming found him, of course, because Hojo Tsukasa is the original author, and if you can find the original author, you should try to find the original author.

"Xiao Tong!"

Keiko Matsuzaka raised her head and looked at the sign hanging in the air, her eyes wandering and her mouth shouting anxious words.

Yakushimaru Hiroko was standing next to her and also looked up with an anxious look on her face.

There was a red ball hanging from the ceiling, and the two of them focused their eyes on the red ball.

On the other side, Kanako Higuchi stood on a paper roller coaster model and confronted Cynthia Rothrock.

This scene is about two people fighting on a moving roller coaster. In the end, Hitomi Raisei kills her opponent by taking advantage of the movement of the roller coaster.

Of course, it was impossible to actually let them get on a roller coaster to shoot such a dangerous scene, so special photography techniques were required.

By the way, special effects does not simply refer to Ultraman or Kamen Rider.

The word "special effects" means special photography techniques, which is to create special scenes through models, camera movements, etc. to make up for the lack of special effects.

Abbreviated as special effects.

The three major special effects are called special effects because the main shooting content all relies on special effects technology.

And what is being used on the Maoyan set at this moment is also special effects technology.

A fake roller coaster model was used, and both actors stood in the fake carriage during filming. In fact, the actors were standing on a movable cart with tracks underneath, which could be used for mobile filming with the camera.

By pushing the car, you can create the effect that two people are moving with the roller coaster, and the distant view can be directly achieved by using the model.

——The model was coordinated by Gu Ming from Wangu.

Of course, simply moving the dolly would require a lot of special effects when filming, but the crew didn't have that many special effects.

So this requires the use of primitive special effects - not pulling the roller coaster, but pulling the background, and the background moves to coordinate with the movement of the roller coaster, creating an effect in the close-up as if you are really standing on a roller coaster.

Of course, Kanako Higuchi couldn't perform any fighting scenes, she just recited her lines, and was soon replaced by Yuan Qiu.

Cynthia Rothrock did it herself. She is the champion of several karate competitions across the United States - and there is no gender division.

This achievement has not been broken by anyone until later generations.

Keiko Matsuzaka and Hiroko Yakushimaru looked up at the ball on the ceiling, and it seemed as if Kanako Higuchi was standing there.

Kanako Higuchi sat in a place where the camera could not reach, watching the expressions of the two people.

I'm just short of grabbing a handful of melon seeds and crunching them.

Not to mention how urgent the plot is.

Outside the stadium, this scene looked quite funny.

"Pfft..."

Hearing laughter coming from somewhere, Jissoji Akio looked up instantly.

Which bastard dares to laugh out loud on the set!
He looked up and saw Gu Ming hiding aside and laughing.

Fortunately, the sound equipment is not good enough nowadays, so most of the dubbing is done in post-production rather than on-site. Otherwise, this shot would be affected.

After the shooting of this scene was completed, Jissoji Akio immediately rolled up his sleeves.

I hit!

"You bastard, you dare to come back!"

Jissoji Akio stood on tiptoe and tugged at Gu Ming's neck: "Why are you suddenly off to film Journey to the West? Who's prettier, the monkey or the cat's eye?"

His expression suddenly grew serious, and he said solemnly, "Do you know how much of an impact your absence has had on the series? For over a dozen episodes, there haven't been any direct shots of Utsumi Toshio. If it weren't for the excellent action design and the trendy setting of the Cat's Eye sisters, this show would have been ruined."

Gu Ming also looked serious and bowed to Jissoji Akio. "I'm very sorry, and I'm well aware of this. The filming over there has concluded, and there will be no further delays."

Jissoji Akio sighed, "Which is more important, the monkey or the cat?"

Gu Ming said: "They are all important."

"How could it all be important!"

Jissoji Akio jumps up and chops Tani Akira's knee.

Beat this fickle bastard to death!
……

……

Gu Ming also knew that this had a huge impact.

Kamen Rider already has No. 2, so this isn’t a big problem, but the impact on Cat’s Eye is huge.

Although Maoyan is a drama with a female lead, there must also be a male lead. The three sisters teasing Utsumi Toshio is also one of the important highlights, but he has not been there for more than ten episodes, and Utsumi Toshio is almost missing. If Maoyan was not good enough, this drama would most likely be ruined.

Fortunately, there will be no further delay.

During the crew's lunch time, Gu Ming sincerely apologized to everyone, but Jissoji Akio refused to accept it. Finally, Gu Ming had to offer to treat the crew to a meal, but Jissoji Akio still refused to accept it and put forward an unexpected condition.

"Let's go see a Noh play. I love Noh plays, but I don't have many friends willing to watch them with me."

Gu Ming was stunned: "What drama?"

"Noh."

Yakushimaru Hiroko picked up her chopsticks and explained carefully: "Noh is an ancient theatrical form, mainly based on traditional literature and expanded upon. It has a unique performance style. The masks worn by actors often have different meanings. Depending on the identity of the role, different masks are worn, such as Tengu mask, Shura mask, etc."

Gu Ming understood.

And there are also facial makeup! Isn’t that Japanese Peking Opera?

Coincidentally, he can also sing opera!
Gu Ming, of course, didn't care and readily agreed: "Okay, let's all go to see the Noh play together. New Year's Day is just a few days away, let's go to see the Noh play together."

Gu Ming counted and thought that several leading actors, their stand-ins, the director and other creative team members, plus him and Saqin, would all go to watch the Noh play together.

All expenses were paid for by Master Gugu.

Jissoji Akio hissed.

This is really sincere.

Yakushimaru Hiroko felt like she had been electrocuted and instantly jumped up from her seat with the bowl in her hand.

"Ah...well, I still have homework to do, so I won't go."

Gu Ming was surprised: "You still have homework? Didn't you finish it a long time ago?"

"Well, my father cares about my studies and assigned me some extra homework."

"But you didn't listen to your father?"

"...Anyway, I won't be going to see a Noh play!"

Gu Ming couldn't help but let out a "yeah" sound.

This little pill was also picked.

"No, you have to go!" Gu Ming gave the order as an adult: "You are not allowed to film if you don't watch it."

“Ah, wuwuwu~~”

Yakushimaru Hiroko slumped her head on the table and wailed.

I really don’t want to watch Noh. Noh is so boring!
Yakushi Marusaburo and Jissoji Akio were good friends of Noh theatre, and they often went to see Noh theatre together.

She was taken to see it by her father once, and after that, Yakushimaru Hiroko made a firm decision.

You should study hard and never become a Noh actor! That kind of performance is too boring!
