Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 230 Recruiting Movie Actors
Unfortunately, Gu Ming went through the list in his mind and found no role suitable for Keiko Matsuzaka.

Keiko Matsuzaka debuted with a pure image, but later chose to transform herself and made some large-scale works.

Of course, although it is called large-scale, it is not actually that big.

If she could find a charming and enchanting role like Tears of the Future Life, she might really play the role, but after thinking about it, Gu Ming found that there was really no suitable role here.

Gu Ming thought about it carefully and couldn't help frowning.

Oh... Looking at the number of people he found, why did they all end up being so explicit?
Kanako Higuchi later became famous for her explicit behavior.

Perhaps only Yaowanzi has not had this experience.

If possible, Gu Ming still hopes that they can avoid such large-scale stunts. For example, Kanako Higuchi can create that kind of plump, delicate and pitiful image. Why does she need to become famous by stripping off?

"So, we just have to keep producing better works. If we have works and achievements, we don't have to take off our clothes. Otherwise, let alone actors... even authors would have to run around selling their dicks to get subscriptions!"

Gu Ming thought about it, wiped off the makeup on her face, and left the dressing room.

……

……

Tokyo, station, Gu Ming was seeing Hara Masazo off this time.

"And then you suddenly say you need to collect materials or something, oh my, the script hasn't been finalized yet!"

Gu Ming looked at Uehara Masazo and felt a little sorry: "You are not going to be like Mr. Shotaro Ishimori, running away for a year before coming back."

"No, I'm only going to Kyushu for two weeks." Masazo Uehara comforted Gu Ming.

Although the writing went smoothly, Uehara Masazo said that he did not know enough about local customs and decided to go to Kyushu Island to collect folk customs.

Gu Ming certainly supports this matter.

If time permits, Gu Ming would have gone there himself to collect folk songs.

Traveling and such is so much fun!
"Oh, I forgot to give this to Mr. Furuya." Masazo Uehara fumbled and took out a stack of manuscripts from his bag.

"The script is in Furuya-kun's studio. This is the general outline of the main characters. I also want to learn more about local customs and further refine the script, so I'm going to Kyushu Island to collect materials. The script is basically complete now, and it's just the details that need to be collected."

Gu Ming accepted it solemnly.

With this, we can just follow the script and look for actors.

It seems that Masazo Uehara is still reliable in doing things.

Gu Ming said, "So, where are you going to get the material?"

Uehara Masaru spread his hands.

"I heard there's a place called 'Kaigami Village' on Kyushu Island. It has a long history and rich folk customs. I've called a few friends over and plan to go there to collect folk songs and take a look."

"This village sounds a bit ominous." Gu Ming felt a little confused. It sounded like the kind of village that would abuse twins.

Masazo Uehara still went to collect folk customs.

This made Gu Ming seriously doubt whether Uehara Masamitsu would not be able to come back alive after going there.

But the car had already arrived, so Uehara Masazo said no more, said goodbye, got in the car and left.

Gu Ming could only pray for him silently.

It should be fine.

perhaps.

After seeing off Masazo Uehara, Gu Ming took a look at the character settings he had prepared.

The main characters on both sides are as follows.

The affirmative side: The protagonist is a descendant of Yin-Yang magic living in modern times. Because there is no place for Yin-Yang magic in modern times, he only has a half-baked level of it and occasionally makes some fools of himself, but he is upright and has excellent skills.

A supporting character, a passionate young man, the protagonist's best friend. A beautiful girl, a traditional gentle saintly image, who has a crush on the protagonist and is also secretly loved by the supporting character.

An elderly middle-aged man, the tour guide of the group, does not trust the protagonist very much.

Generally speaking, the design of the four characters on the positive side is more in line with tradition: a protagonist; a hot-blooded and stupid second male lead who is responsible for the funny task; a female protagonist who is basically a vase; and a stupid teammate on the positive side who is responsible for the funny task and also for making trouble.

Opposing side: The evil Onmyoji, who practices evil Onmyoji magic, discovers the secret of the local mansion and lures the protagonist and his party into the mansion, actually waiting for an opportunity to sacrifice the protagonist group.

A thug, a subordinate of the evil Onmyoji, he is very skilled and good at fighting, and is difficult to deal with.

There are only these two main characters, and in addition there are a number of miscellaneous rubbish subordinates, all of whom are small fry.

The other characters are the people in the memories, the ghost of the girl who destroyed the mansion, etc.

Gu Ming thought about who he could choose.

He's out of the question for the lead role, the hot-blooded idiot. Gu Ming thought he could give it to Manatsu Ryuu, as his image would be more suitable. The female lead role is already in the agency, Kanako Higuchi, but the middle-aged tour guide role needs to be found later. However, there are many actors of that age, Gu Ming thought...

Actually, Kurobe Shinya is quite middle-aged.

Although he is only in his thirties, his hair has turned gray early and he has become bald at a young age, making him look very middle-aged.

Of course, Kurobe Jin is a bit expensive, and Gu Ming is considering whether to switch to someone cheaper.

The villains are actually simple. The evil Onmyoji is Michiko Nishiwaki, and her subordinates can be Tatsumi Nikamoto, a skilled thug.

And there are as many minions and small fish as you want.

"The ghosts of the young girls can find pills, and the Taoist master who sealed them many years ago was Cheng Long. As for why Cheng Long didn't just kill the ghosts back then..."

Gu Ming was thinking.

Because he is kind!

Use this character to form an impression of the Chinese community.

Of course, once or twice is not enough, but if you do it more times, an impression will be formed.

After settling in, Gu Ming felt happy both physically and mentally. He returned to the office and called people one by one to make appointments.

"Hello? I'm Furuya Akira. Does Kurobe-kun have any availability?"

"Sister yes?! Why, what is he doing?"

"Africa?! Kenya? That's fine."

Gu Ming hung up the phone, feeling a little confused.

Kurobe went into Kenya!

Kurobe Susumu donated to an orphanage in Kenya and often visited there.

As for why in Kenya, Gu Ming was not quite sure.

There is a story that after Kurobe Susumu finished filming Ultraman, he went on a trip to Africa. He failed in his attempt to cross the Sahara Desert on foot and was rescued by a Kenyan when he was almost dead.

These words combined together are quite scary at first glance.

Hiking in Africa, Sahara Desert!
At first glance, I thought Kurobe Shinma was the human form of Ultraman!
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ming sighed.

So Kurobe Jin can't be found, even if you have money, because he is taking care of orphans in Kenya.

"Then where can I find a middle-aged man with acting skills? If I can't find a celebrity, I'll have to find someone cheap."

Gu Ming thought about it and suddenly a candidate came to his mind.

"Hello? My name is Akira Furuya. Excuse me, is this Mr. Haruo Nakajima, who lives in Yamagata Prefecture and runs an acting school?"

Nakajima Haruo: I'm super, box!!
