Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 264: Cruel Personality

The final episode of Kamen Rider was successfully aired, and the ratings of the show also skyrocketed.

Inevitably, children will be curious about what the black silhouette at the end is.

Of course Gu Ming wouldn’t tell everyone that it was V3.

Speaking of V3, it can be said to be the pinnacle of Showa Knights, and what V3 is most famous for in the country is a picture.

Right now.

NMDWSM.

Just like in the original time and space, he still looked for Miyauchi Hiroshi, and Gu Ming did not interfere in this matter.

At most, I will participate in the design of the killing array and provide assistance in the suit actors and the killing array performance.

After all, that's what firms do.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. The Jiro Ramen from last night seemed to still remain in his stomach, and Gu Ming was not hungry at all.

It was a rare free day today, but Gu Ming felt a little restless.

Without having to go to the set, I always feel like a big part of my life is missing.

"So I really have to go filming. Sometimes I feel like an old black slave. Every day I'm either filming or filming. I don't have any private life at all!"

Gu Ming thought about it and suddenly sat up.

Speaking of filming, he almost forgot that he had to go find Yakushi Marusaburo.

After all, Yakushimaru Hiroko still has to go to school! If she were to film, she might not have enough time.

"If I just grab him and run, jump in a car and drive all the way to Nara, he shouldn't be able to catch up with me, right?"

Gu Ming thought about this in his mind.

Shaqin had just put down her breakfast and heard Gu Ming muttering to himself, she couldn't help but wonder, "Is Gu Gu going to steal a dog?"

Gu Ming spread his hands.

No, I'm going to steal someone!

……

……

At Kita-Aoyama Junior High School, Yakushimaru Hiroko and a few good friends walked out of the campus and saw a familiar car at the corner.

Several friends suddenly started to make a fuss.

"I'm here to pick up Hiroko. You're awesome. You pick me up and drop me off every day."

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just filming."

Yakushimaru Hiroko looked a little serious, but her steps were visibly lighter. She said goodbye to her friends and ran over in three or two steps.

Seeing her open the car door and get in, several of her friends' faces changed instantly behind her back.

"Qi, could it be that he's been kept by someone and is doing that kind of daddy work?"

"I think I'm pretty too, why doesn't anyone ask me to act in a movie?"

"It's because you don't have a good father!"

……

The sound was not loud, but it still drifted far away with the wind.

Gu Ming glanced over and saw that Yakushimaru Hiroko's action of opening the door paused slightly.

"You." Gu Ming sighed slightly: "Just let them say whatever they want?"

"It's just talk, it's not true."

Yakushimaru Hiroko maintained that expression and sat in the passenger seat.

Anyway, they are not true friends, so who doesn’t get gossiped about behind their back?

"You can't think like that," Gu Ming said. "Restraint is torturing yourself, and extroversion is torturing others. You have to extrovert. Have you heard of the Enneagram personality type? One of them is called the punitive type, abbreviated as URSB."

"You scold me, that means you are sick, right? You are not sick, why are you scolding me? I scold you, that means you are sick, why would I scold you if you are not sick? Right? We have to be reasonable! You have done something bad, and you don't allow people to talk about it? You don't allow people to scold you? Right!"

Yakushimaru Hiroko: ...Yes, is that right?
"Okay, that's all I have to say. I believe you can handle it."

As Gu Ming spoke, he reached out to the back seat and found the prop doll given by Endai.

We had previously agreed with Endai that we would get an investment from Endai, but we would advertise Endai in the plot. The advertisement was for this first-generation Endai doll, which has the Endai logo on it.

"Bang bang!" Gu Ming made a surprised sound and handed the packaged toy doll to her.

"Why did you suddenly give me a doll? I'm no longer old enough to play with dolls!" Yakushimaru Hiroko looked at the toy doll that Gu Ming brought over.

She is no longer a thirteen-year-old girl!
Now she is a little girl of fourteen.

Gu Ming spread his hands and said, "Hold it. We'll need it for the subsequent filming."

Yakushimaru Hiroko was about to open the package, but suddenly stopped when she heard this.

"So you won't come to see me unless you're filming, right?"

"Ah... not really." Gu Ming parked the car, looked up and saw that he had already arrived downstairs of their house. "Is your father home now?"

"I haven't been home yet, so I don't know."

"Yes, if it's appropriate, I'll pay him a visit. I have something to discuss with him."

Yaowanzi looked down at the unopened doll, then looked up at Gu Ming who had already gotten off the bus.

So you won't go out except when filming, right?

With such complaints in her mind, she jumped out of the car holding the baby and went upstairs together.

As expected, Yakushi Marusaburo was not at home, but his wife was at home. Gu Ming felt a little embarrassed and wanted to go out and wait, but when he heard that Yakushi Marusaburo would be back soon, he went into the house and waited.

Holding the small teacup in his hand, Gu Ming sniffed the fragrance of the tea, thinking that this artistic family was much better at drinking tea than he was.

The high-end and finely ground coffee in the office has a rich taste.

The daily routine in the office is just gurgling and pooh-pooh.

Yakushimaru's mother sat across from him on the sofa, maintaining a position that was not too close, but not too rude either.

I wanted to ask Yakushimaru Hiroko to sit down, but she went straight into the bedroom with her bag.

"Xiao Bo? Xiao Bo...Alas!" Yao Shiwan's mother could only sigh.

This child is usually not so rude.

"It's actually not that bad. After all, understanding the script requires a high level of education! Look at me."

Gu Ming spread his hands, and two words were written on his face: illiterate.

After a brief chat about the filming, Yakushimaru Saburo came back soon.

After a busy day rehearsing a stage play outside, the first thing Yakushi Marusaburo saw when he came back was Tani Ming, and the veins on his forehead instantly appeared.

In this life!
"How did you come!"

Yakushi Marusaburo sat opposite him very rudely.

That bastard Gu Gu Ming is here to kidnap his daughter again.

"Oh, Mr. Yakushimaru, what are you talking about? I'm really working on the script."

Gu Ming handed the script that was written for Yakushi Maru Hiroko to Yakushi Maru Saburo.

After all, they are minors, and many things need to be seen by their guardians.

This is not like Oshima Yukali, she is also a minor, but her guardian is a karate coach in Tokyo. The coach doesn't care about so many instructions, just pay the money.

Yakushimaru Saburo looked at it for a while and was annoyed at first.

That bastard Furuya Akira actually let her daughter play a female ghost.

But after reading the general content, Yakushi Marusaburo fell into deep thought.

Although she is a female ghost, there is still a lot of room for her to play. She is not just a vase. This character has depth that can be explored.

"So this is the movie you're going to make? What's the budget?"

Gu Ming raised a finger.

One hundred million yen! Ushi no!

Yakushi Marusaburo nodded slightly.

One hundred million yen, that's a mid-range production, very good.

Kurosawa built the set himself, with a group battle scene involving hundreds of people, and a nearly one-to-one reproduction of the ancient Warring States city. The entire movie only cost 2 billion yuan. Usually, many art films, or modern background films that do not require special costumes and props, would cost 30 to 40 million yuan, which is considered a high budget.

"But I thought about it. Although this script involves some supernatural elements, it's still set in modern times. So, the price shouldn't be that high, right?"

Gu Ming shook his head.

"You don't understand. It's going to take at least 100 million. I'm afraid even 100 million isn't enough!"

This is the reason why Gu Ming went to see Endai and Salia these days.

In fantasy kung fu films, in addition to kung fu being the main focus, special effects are also very important.

You can't have a female ghost floating out without any traditional special effects, relying solely on white face makeup.

In "A Chinese Ghost Story", Lao Wang floated away on a pulley. That kind of crude special effect requires money to create.

There were so many zombie movies that followed the trend in Hong Kong at that time, but why was the best one only Lin Zhengying?
Because only Lin Zhengying was willing to spend money, the zombies he made looked really realistic in that era!
Such a serious script, a medium-sized production, and Gu Ming's long-standing credibility.

Although Yakushi Marusaburo often thinks that Gu Ming is a bastard, he has to admit that there is really no such a good person in the circle.

"That's fine with me, but when are you going to start it?"

"It's just recently, so I hope Hiroko can ask for a leave of absence from school. It doesn't have to be too long, just a few months will be fine!"

Yakushi Marusaburo's face turned dark.

Furuya Akira, you are such a fucking idiot!

It's only been a few months, why don't you just let her drop out of school!
