Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 246 You Are More Than Just an Actor
Coming directly to the door for a competition, to determine the superiority and to decide life and death, this kind of thing is really not something that ordinary people can do.

But Bruce Leung is not an ordinary person!

He and Yasuaki Kurata got to know each other for this reason. When he heard that a Japanese person had come to the crew, Liang Xiaolong, who disliked him, ran over to have a real-life PK with Yasuaki Kurata offline.

We don't know whether they won or lost, but since then, the two have become friends, which led to Kurata Yasuaki introducing Liang Xiaolong to Japan to film.

Liang Xiaolong was later banned in Taiwan, which resulted in him being unable to find films to shoot in Hong Kong, but he didn't have to pick up rotten vegetable leaves on the street because Yasuaki Kurata introduced him to some Japanese films.

If someone is interested in watching Japanese TV dramas and movies in the 1970s and 1980s, they will occasionally come across the figure of Liang Xiaolong.

Gu Ming looked at Liang Xiaolong and couldn't help but sigh inwardly that it was a pity.

Yasuaki Kurata won't use it! Although Liang Xiaolong can't be called handsome, he is also a righteous character with such good skills, he was born to be a martial arts star!

If it weren't for the fact that he was banned in Taiwan and remained silent for ten years, Liang Xiaolong would definitely have a place in the Hong Kong film industry.

"Mr. Liang." Gu Ming didn't fight him. Instead, he looked tired and pointed at himself. "I just got back from the crew today. I spent a whole day shooting scenes and serving as martial arts instructor. I'm exhausted now. You won't take advantage of me now, right?"

Liang Xiaolong indeed showed some hesitation and relaxed his stance.

If he won, it would inevitably be considered an unfair victory, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"That's right! In that case, I'll come back for advice next time!"

Liang Xiaolong bowed, and he really had the demeanor of a hero in a martial arts movie.

After saying that, he turned around and left without stopping.

Zhen Xialong stuck his head out to see that he had actually left. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Furuya, how did you convince him?"

Gu Ming spread his hands and said, "Oh, I told him that tomorrow I will arrange a real-life PK between you and him. Either you kill him, or he kills you."

Manatsu Ryu: You really are my brother!
……

……

Of course, Gu Ming wouldn't fight Liang Xiaolong in real life. Given his current physical condition, Gu Ming was really afraid that he would hurt Liang Xiaolong. It would be okay to let Zhen Xialong give it a try, perhaps they could even outfight him.

However, when the day came, Gu Ming could clearly feel that the atmosphere among the people in the crew was not right.

I initially thought they were just outsiders, but I saw it in the tabloids yesterday.

Damn, they are actually two Japanese!

Don’t you know this is Hong Kong? Hong Kong’s boss is the boss. I tell you, don’t be unconvinced! No one but the British can do anything!
"Look at what you're doing here, filming! Going to work! You can't expect me to treat you!"

Cheng Long had a big fight with Luo Wei yesterday and was in a depressed mood, but he didn't want to lose face in front of Gu Ming now. He was embarrassed to let Gu Ming see that he couldn't even give orders to the crew he had assembled.

After some hand gestures, we finally got everyone to go to work.

Cheng Long turned to Gu Ming and sighed, "I'm sorry, Gu Sheng, I didn't expect this to cause such a big stir. It seems we need to finish the martial arts filming quickly. Then, you guys should leave quickly, otherwise we might get into trouble."

Gu Ming nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll come find you after we start filming. Speaking of which..."

Gu Ming suddenly changed the subject: "Last night, a man named Liang Xiaolong came to see me. Do you know him?"

Cheng Long hissed and took a breath of Lin Fengjiao.

"He came looking for you? Did you guys do it?"

Gu Ming shook his head.

That definitely wasn't done!

Cheng Long finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"That guy is a martial arts madman with real kung fu skills. He used to be a stunt double at Shaw Brothers, oh, that's a big studio here. Later, he was noticed by Mr. Wu (Wu Siyuan) and starred in many films. He came to me when I first debuted. He's quite capable!"

Liang Xiaolong trained in kicking techniques and Southern Wing Chun. He later met Yasuaki Kurata and learned some karate techniques, with whom he exchanged ideas on various martial arts. While Cheng Long only started practicing martial arts after becoming famous, Liang Xiaolong has been practicing martial arts since childhood. He was initially spotted by Wu Siyuan for a role in a film when he happened to be in a street fight, chasing down over a dozen people.

"I think there might be some misunderstanding here. Kurata has a good relationship with him. We can discuss it when we have a chance."

Cheng Long stopped talking and said that the crew was ready to start filming. Gu Ming and the others then went back to their work at the office. In fact, Gu Ming was too embarrassed to tell Jackie Chan.

It was this jerk named Kurata Yasuaki who introduced Liang Xiaolong to this place...

Maybe Yasuaki Kurata was hiding at the corner of the stairs watching the fun!
The filming started in a flash, and the fight continued with the stick techniques. Zhen Xialong and Cheng Long shot some additional shots.

Gu Ming sat on the sidelines and watched for a while, then felt something was wrong.

"Long, come here for a moment."

It was shouted in Japanese, so of course it was called Manaka Ryu.

"Brother Gu Gu, what's wrong?"

"You're hitting it wrong. You need to move the stick quickly and use the strength of your waist to shake it. That way the stick will form a flower, and a fight between two people will look good on camera. Otherwise, although the way you hit is practical, it doesn't look good. You can't fight like that on film."

Gu Ming couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply took out a long stick and gestured.

"Brother Long, shall we try some moves?"

"No, no, no kidding, Gu Sheng is the brother, Brother Gu!"

"Brother Long!"

"Brother Gu!"

Manatsu Ryu: What are you talking about?

He looked at the only person he knew in the room, Yuan Qiu.

Yuan Qiu thought for a moment, using the Japanese he had learned, and translated, "They want to be each other's brothers."

After some polite exchanges, Cheng Long stopped being polite and simply held the middle of the stick and said, "Then I won't be polite!"

"bring it on!"

Gu Ming restrained his strength and did not really fight. He just followed Cheng Long's moves, with the side of the stick against his waist. As Gu Ming's waist strength was exerted, the stick swayed left and right, and the tip of the stick really swayed in a colorful way, making people dizzy.

This kind of shaking of the stick using waist strength is a move in spearmanship, shaking the spear tip. There is no such martial arts move in Japan. Manatsu Ryu just watched from the side, dazzled.

Cheng Long on the other side said "I'm sorry" again, suddenly raised his long stick high, used a move of "sound shocking a hundred miles away", and chopped it down fiercely, but only used 30% of his strength and did not really hit.

The stick fell down, and he twisted his body back with the strength of his waist, and used the same move again, still smashing hard.

This is not a stick technique, it's the way of spinning a gun in dramas and on the stage. It all depends on the strength of the waist. If someone doesn't have good waist strength, they won't be able to achieve this effect no matter what.

Gu Ming also responded with a series of moves, then swung the stick and threw it far away, landing on a rack outside the field.

Cheng Long swung his stick down, hitting Gu Ming's nose exactly.

"Do you understand? That's how we'll fight then."

Manatsu Ryuu hissed.

I hit the eggplant! I can’t type it out!
Cheng Long put away his long stick and was also amazed: "Gu Sheng really has real kung fu. You didn't dodge just now. Aren't you afraid that I would hit you in one hit?"

"You didn't use your full strength, it was just a scene, of course I'm not afraid."

Gu Ming faced Cheng Long calmly and of course he was not afraid.

Just as he was about to speak, a loud shout suddenly erupted from outside the field.

"I knew you were capable! Mr. Gu, I've been watching you all morning. You shouldn't be tired now, right? I'm the successor of the Northern Leg, a disciple of Wing Chun, a master of Gorou Karate, and Eagle Claw Fist, Liang Xiaolong. I'm looking for your advice!"

Gu Ming instantly looked at Cheng Long.

Cheng Long looked even more surprised than Gu Ming.

When will Liang Xiaolong come!
