Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 255 The property belongs to the firm, I only have the right to use it

Gu Ming bought a car.

It's amazing.

The car was a Toyota and looked quite decent. Even the office's broken van was replaced with three brand new vans.

The location has not been changed for the time being. After all, it is difficult to find such a large place in downtown Tokyo. Although this warehouse is a bit shabby, the location is still very good. It is next to the port and has a driveway, so it is convenient to travel.

Gu Ming thought that what Narita Heng said made sense. When you go out, you have to earn your face yourself. If you really drive a broken car to discuss cooperation, people will not believe you.

There are not so many cases of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger in life!
Standing at the door of the office, Gu Ming looked at the Toyota in front of him and felt quite satisfied.

The car is not expensive, the key is that it has a good shape, low-key luxury and connotation, and it is high-end, atmospheric and classy.

If calculated in US dollars, such a car would cost several thousand dollars.

Nissan vehicles forced American cars to lower their prices. In the 1970s and 1980s, they were exported to the United States and were cheaper than domestic American cars. This angered American car companies and boycotted Japanese cars. It can be seen that Japanese cars are indeed cheap these days.

Gu Ming said, "Everyone, work hard so that I can buy a new car by the end of this year."

Manatsu Ryu nodded first, then felt something was wrong: "That's not right, Furuya-kun, then why should I go if you get a new car?"

"You can drive the old one!" Gu Ming said, "After all, the ownership of the vehicle belongs to the firm. I only have the right to use it."

Manatsu Ryu nodded again.

I feel like something is wrong, but I can’t put my finger on it!

"Alright, everyone, come in. We've only got a few episodes left to shoot for Kamen Rider."

Gu Ming clapped his hands: "Let me tell you about the work arrangements for this quarter."

Kamen Rider was originally filmed for almost a hundred episodes, which was so long and boring. Many of the plots in the later stages were completely useless and poorly filmed.

This time, Gu Ming persuaded Watanabe Ryosuke to stop making money and finish the series as soon as possible to prepare for the next Kamen Rider V3.

V3 is a classic of Kamen Rider in the Showa period, and its ratings far exceed those of the first generation.

Well, Endai can sell new belts again!
Therefore, the first generation of Kamen Rider in this time and space has only 65 episodes, which is a total of five seasons. A large number of not-so-good episodes in the middle were cut out, and a considerable part of the essence was retained.

Thanks to this, Toei is already preparing for the final battle, and once the final battle is finished, Gu Ming will be able to start filming.

"As for this drama, the agency has already decided on it. I'll contact some old friends later to see if I can get some investment... Let's talk about the role first."

Gu Ming called out their names one by one.

Some people didn't come today, for example, Yaowanzi was in school, but Gu Ming made a sign for her so they could pretend she was here.

"This is an action film with some horror elements, set against a backdrop of folklore. Mr. Jissoji is directing again, and I've hired Mr. Toru Narita for the art design. I've entrusted Mr. Toru Fuyuki and Mr. Kunio Miyauchi to compose the music."

"As for the leading role, I'm not talented enough, so I'll take on the role."

"Manatsu Ryu."

Manatsu Ryuu instantly stood at attention.

"You play 'Kato'. This role is a supporting role, the second male lead."

"I'm playing the second male lead? Is that true..."

"If you say that B line again, I'll beat you up!"

"Yes!"

Manatsu Ryu thought about it and felt happy. He was going to play the second male lead!
Maybe I can play the leading role next time!
"Higuchi-san, you play 'Hashimoto Aritsu'... oh no, 'Hashimoto Arina'. Although this character doesn't have many scenes, she is still the heroine after all."

Kanako Higuchi lowered her hands and bowed to Tani Akira.

The male and female protagonists are really good.

It was like being on the set of Seven. "The third male lead, a supporting role, has been asked to play a supporting role by an old friend, Haruo Nakajima. I'll notify him to come here and prepare for filming."

"Then let's talk about the opposing side. Opposing side number one, the main villain, Onmyoji, I leave it to you, Xixie."

Nishiwaki Michiko bowed.

It doesn’t matter if he’s a villain, as long as he has a role, and villain number one is still villain number one!

"The second person on the opposing side is a very powerful fighter. This role will be given to Nijia Ben. He is currently with the Kamen Rider crew. We will notify him later."

"Where's the ghost girl? I'm going to go look for Yaowanzi... If his father wants to beat me up, remember to stop him for me."

"In addition, there are some other characters from memories, such as the ghost girl's brothers and sisters, parents and family members, etc., which will all be played by you."

"In addition to this, there is a cannon fodder group, which is a priest exorcist from overseas. This is a combination. The two actors are not here for the meeting at the moment. They will be notified later."

"The priest will be played by Hideo Murata, and the nun will be played by Ms. Cynthia Rothrock."

Hideo Murata, also known as Tokiro Dan, has a mixed-race appearance, so he often plays various foreigners in Japanese film and television works.

This is another case of Gu Ming inserting some private goods.

First of all, this is a movie released in Japan after all, so it is inevitable that Yin-Yang magic will win in the end, otherwise the audience will not agree.

But apart from that, Gu Ming stuffed two different roles, the Hong Kong exorcist and the American priest.

The Hong Kong exorcist almost succeeded, but because he was kind, he finally chose to seal the female ghost and leave it to future generations for inspiration.

The American priest tried to take action, but ultimately failed, causing the situation to worsen.

In short, there are two layers of things hidden.

First, Westerners are not good enough, so we have to look to us in the East.

The second is that among Oriental people, we have to look at the Chinese cultural circle.

Gu Ming will not say this kind of thing directly, nor will he explain it so clearly in the movie, but when the movie is filmed, the audience will naturally feel that, oh, these Americans are really a waste of time and can't do anything right.

After everything was arranged, Gu Ming took out the script.

Masazo Uehara has already completed the script, and it has now been distributed, with each character with lines receiving a copy.

Gu Ming was not worried that they wouldn't understand.

It can be said that in this firm, as long as Gu Ming can understand it, everyone else will definitely understand it.

Everyone knows that Gu Ming has the lowest educational level!
Manatsu Ryu touched the script and found it was quite thick, which made him a little excited.

The script is thick, which means there are a lot of plots!

Maybe if the movie becomes a hit, he can become famous too!
As an actor, it’s a joke if anyone doesn’t want to be the leading role. No one really wants to play supporting roles all their life.

Gu Ming made all the arrangements before getting up and leaving.

The Kamen Rider crew needs to wrap up, so he has to finish Kamen Rider in the next few weeks to bring the show to a perfect end.

In addition, we also cooperated in shooting some shots to be used at the beginning of V3, because Gu Ming was most likely not in Tokyo when V3 was filmed.

"I don't know who will play the role after V3, but if they want to play the role of a suit actor, they will probably still look for one from our agency!"

Originally, these suit actors were found in JAC. Shinichi Chiba has been cooperating with major special programs for many years to provide suit actors.

Now, Gu Ming occupies this position.

Thinking that everyone in the agency has the opportunity to play the leading role in a suit actor, even the one with the worst skills can't help but puff out his chest with pride.
