Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 237: Capture Ooka Shinichi
After Gu Ming talked with Wan Gu about the follow-up arrangements for Kesai, he also mentioned the affairs of Zhou State.

Ten years later, Zhou Guohui introduced Kesai, re-dubbed it and broadcast it, and it immediately became a hit.

But the country had already been reformed by then, and it was normal to introduce foreign works.

As for now, it’s not impossible.

Although both sides are competing secretly, at least in name it is still a honeymoon period between China and Japan. Some of the better works can be introduced as long as Wan Gu is willing to make an effort.

As for the low TV penetration rate in Zhou country?
Please.

The first person to see Kesai was not a child from an ordinary family!
Many people only watched it when it was rerun in the 1990s. When it was first released in the 1980s, a group of people would crowd around a TV to watch it.

But Wan Guyi shook his head and refused.

"That's too much trouble. I should focus on filming the work first."

"makes sense."

Gu Ming didn't say anything more. After talking about the filming of Kesai, he left Wan Guyi's office.

Not long after leaving the house, I met Wan Gu'ao. It was rather as if Wan Gu'ao had been listening outside the whole time and was only now pretending to be busy.

Seeing Gu Ming coming over, Wan Gu'ao hurriedly called out to him.

"Furuya-kun."

"What's wrong?"

"I have some ideas about overseas copyright."

Although he felt a little regretful about the matter of Endai, there was nothing he could do since he had already sold it to Gu Ming.

And thinking about it later, Wan Gu Ao also felt that he had no way to contact Toei and Endai. In other words, this thing was simply impossible to do.

Wan Gu'ao didn't have any special feelings towards Gu Ming. Instead, he felt that the two of them were quite compatible in some aspects.

Hearing Wan Gu'ao's words, Gu Ming laughed: "That's true, but this is not the place to discuss things. How about this."

Gu Ming estimated the time and said, "I'm going to visit Ooka-kun later. When I come back, how about we find a place to have a simple meal in the evening?"

Wan Gu'ao bowed slightly, there was no problem on his side.

Gu Ming just turned around and left.

Shinichi Ooka waited for a while, but did not show any unhappiness. Instead, he got on his bicycle and left with Gu Ming.

It is said that Japanese people still rely heavily on bicycles for transportation. When the tram is inconvenient, they rely on bicycles to get around.

——Apart from the spirited young man from Japan, only people like Shotaro Ishimori who have money and free time can ride a bike.

The two men rode their bicycles in a posture similar to that of the Sakuragi Army. When they arrived at Ooka Shinichi's house, Ooka Shinichi kept bowing his head and apologizing, saying that his house was simple and not tidied up, and hoped that Gu Ming would not mind.

Of course Gu Ming didn't mind.

He came for Ooka Shinichi, an excellent photographer and management talent. Of course he had to have him!

Never mind why the action actor agency wants Shinichi Ooka...

His is an action stunt agency, so it's understandable that there are photographers in the action stunts!
Ooka Shinichi has a TV and a VCR at home, and it can be seen that he often watches videotapes.

"Here...Okay, got it."

Shinichi Ooka took down a box from the top shelf of the cabinet, which was full of videotapes.

"These are the works I have shot in recent years, some of which are already very old."

Gu Ming nodded and flipped through the box casually. Suddenly, he saw a videotape with a red cover at the bottom of the box.

"Ok?"

Gu Ming reached out to take it, but Ooka Shinichi was startled and tried to snatch it, but Gu Ming got it first.

"What is this videotape for?"

Ooka Shinichi said nothing. Gu Ming looked up and saw an embarrassed expression on Ooka Shinichi's face, as if this was some unspeakable secret, like a man's penis, which can be seen but not touched.

"I'm sorry, I was ignorant when I was young, so I don't do it anymore. I hope Furuya-kun doesn't mind it."

Hearing his hesitation, Gu Ming stuffed the videotape into the machine.

The photographer moved with the bustling crowd, and everything he photographed along the way was filled with a certain atmosphere of the times. When he saw those slogans, Gu Ming was shocked.

At first glance, he thought he had returned to the Zhou Kingdom in the early 1970s.

Gu Ming stopped watching and ejected the tape from the machine.

He knew what the tape was.

"Keep it well."

Gu Ming didn't say anything more, but turned to watch other videotapes.

It is no wonder that Shinichi Ooka is so secretive about it. Although the incident was later evaluated as a blind and unplanned action, it was indeed the last red dream of the Showa era.

Since then, with the disappearance of people with the ability to take action, even the literary and artistic front could not be held.

It is obvious that Shinichi Ooka's mentality is the same as Sachin's. Although I have participated in it, I cannot say it because the times have passed. If I say it now, it may have a huge impact.

Gu Ming doesn't discriminate against this. Rather, it's what he wants to do.

Shinichi Ooka breathed a sigh of relief and began to introduce other videotapes.

"This was filmed when I went to Mount Fuji. It was a short play that I made with my friends when I was in college because we were bored. It was meant to be a stepping stone before joining Wangu."

When Ooka Shinichi mentioned this, his face lit up with pride. It was his masterpiece, and it immediately impressed Mantani Eiji.

Gu Mingdu looked at it carefully for two hours until it was completely dark.

"Oh, this is really..."

Gu Ming was amazed.

Although the camera movement is still a bit clumsy, the technical advantages are obvious. Ooka Shinichi likes to shoot with a half-body shot, from bottom to top, to create a sense of sublimity. No wonder he was later valued by Wan Gu and eventually became Wan Gu's management.

"Ooka-kun is indeed very powerful, but why has he never been able to take charge of the camera in Wangu?"

Ooka Shinichi was silent for a moment.

The knife pierced his lungs and hurt!
Why couldn’t he take the camera? Of course, it was because no one asked him to do so!

Not long ago, the photographer was hospitalized. As soon as Shinichi Ooka raised his hand, the photographer ran back from the community clinic as if by telepathy and refused to let him touch the photographer.

How can I possibly hand in a good work if I don’t even have the chance to take the camera?

"If Ooka-kun doesn't mind, then when the filming of that production starts, Ooka-kun can come and help. You'll have the opportunity to direct the camera and work with Director Jissoji Akio. It will definitely be no problem. As for Wangu, I'll say hello to Ichigo."

It's just a photography assistant, Wan Guyi won't mind.

Shinichi Ooka's expression changed from nervousness, to dullness, and finally, to ecstasy.

Very excited.

"Mr. Furuya! Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Furuya. I will not let this opportunity down. During the filming, I will definitely give you a satisfactory performance!"

Gu Ming patted him on the shoulder.

Shinichi Ooka, take it.

"I need to discuss something with Wangu Ao later. Why don't you come with me, Ooka-kun?"

"Is this appropriate..."

"What's appropriate or inappropriate? After all, we've been busy until so late. It's just a simple meal together. No problem!"
