Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 270 Physical Output Exorcist

Yakushimaru Hiroko didn't have much time to stay on the set, as she would have to go back to school soon, so Gu Ming gave priority to filming her scenes.

Fortunately, the little girl had good acting skills and didn't make too many mistakes, so everything went smoothly.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.

That afternoon, after the filming was completed, Gu Ming ran to find Jissoji Akio.

"Let's shoot the next few scenes without my part first. I need to go pick someone up."

"Oh, I know. That...that Xiangjiang Yin-Yang Master?"

Gu Ming scratched his head.

Hong Kong Onmyoji?
more or less.

After settling the crew, Gu Ming called the driver Koizumi and went to the station together. There, they picked up Cheng Long who had come a long way.

"This is the person that Brother Gugu wants to pick up."

Seeing the two people get into the car, Koizumi glanced at Cheng Long through the rearview mirror and couldn't help but marvel at it.

This person.

What a big nose.

Of course, Cheng Long couldn't tell what Koizumi was thinking. After sitting down in the back row, the two of them immediately became wary of each other.

They are all people who like to pat people’s thighs, so you have to be careful!

"I've watched several of your movies recently. They're really great. Another one of your movies has won the box office championship in Hong Kong."

"Oh! Mr. Gu, thank you for your kind words!" Cheng Long said these words modestly, but he seemed a little proud.

Box office champion, sprinkle some water!
"Speaking of which, there are many scenes in this film 'Fighting Kung Fu' that we have to thank Gu Sheng for, otherwise it really wouldn't have been possible. What a pity..."

Cheng Long shook his head slightly.

He also paid attention to Gu Ming's works and finally discovered one thing: Gu Ming's performances were basically all TV dramas, not a single movie. In addition, although he had participated in large-scale productions, he only appeared in behind-the-scenes roles such as martial arts directors.

He doesn't watch special effects, but according to Cheng Long's understanding, one problem with special effects is that the fan base is concentrated among children, which leads to Gu Ming's popularity not being very high after he leaves the children's group.

He also asked Yasuaki Kurata for some information and learned that Japanese TV dramas are actually very profitable, but if he can't act in movies, he feels that it is still a little inferior.

mentioned here.

Cheng Long suddenly became serious.

"Before I left, my adoptive father told me that if it's a really bad role, a villain, or a bad person, I can't play it. I believe Gu Sheng's arrangement will not be wrong, but I still want to ask, what role will Gu Sheng arrange for me?"

Gu Ming raised his finger.

"A very decent Hong Kong exorcist!"

……

……

When he arrived at the set, Jackie Chan was a little surprised, but not too excited.

The set is not small, but he has seen big scenes before. Cheng Long has also rented a big house like this as a shooting location.

Since it is a movie, it is understandable that there are big scenes.

Cheng Long was too expensive, so Gu Ming of course made the same arrangements as in Hong Kong. Since he was here, he arranged his scenes as soon as possible and finished filming quickly.

In this movie, Gu Ming intends to do a little trick.

The Japanese version uses dubbing, while the overseas version uses Jackie Chan's original voice, and he speaks Mandarin instead of Cantonese.

——Cheng Long can speak Mandarin.

On the set, Gu Ming found a collared Tang suit for Cheng Long and told him to wear it with the buttons open, paired with a pair of blue cloth trousers and fastened the trouser legs with a belt. He immediately gave off a feeling of being a martial arts master.

"What a pity... We should ask Lin Zhengying to do this. Uncle Jiu is more suitable for this job."

Gu Ming thought about this in his mind, and after making the arrangements, he briefly talked about the play with Cheng Long.

"You are an exorcist from Hong Kong. You encountered a female ghost in this haunted house. After a fight, you defeated her and intended to suppress her. However, at the moment of contact, you sensed her memories and discovered that she had a tragic life. So, you suppressed her instead of killing her outright."

Cheng Long was somewhat surprised: "Why didn't I kill her?"

"Because you are kind."

"...?"

Cheng Long obviously couldn't realize what the connection was.

Gu Ming didn't explain much, but just gave the handwritten script notebook to Cheng Long and discussed it with others.

This scene may take two or three days to shoot, and Gu Ming plans to do it in two different styles.

One is the more traditional hard-hitting and hard-hitting fighting, with some humorous plots added in. Cheng Long is good at this.

The other type is Xu Ke-style fighting, which creates an ethereal, soaring feeling, requiring wirework. Although Gu Ming really wanted to beat up Xu Ke, he had to admit that Xu Ke was quite talented when creating this kind of work.

Soon, both sides were ready. The vengeful spirit Himuro Kirie summoned several evil ghosts in makeup, and Cheng Long showed his best fighting style to repel them one by one. What he used in his hand was not a Liuren style plate or Yin-Yang talisman, but a peach wood sword with a buff.

Gu Ming couldn't find any peach wood, so he just made a prop nearby, painted it, and it looked quite realistic.

"Have you finished applying the powder? Now, do this: don't bend your knees. Jump over like this and stab him in the neck. Then, kick him out with a whip kick. Then, swing your sword and pretend you're being electrocuted..."

"Brother Gugu, how come you got an electric shock?"

"you see me."

Gu Ming was so excited that he simply performed an electric shock on the spot. His mouth was inarticulate and his body was shaking.

The office staff silently gave a thumbs-up.

Okay, okay, Brother Gugu, your performance is like you're having an epileptic seizure. I really want to give you two sticks.

After making all the arrangements, Gu Ming hung steel ropes on several people.

When shooting later, you will need to pause every now and then and adjust your position to avoid exposing the wire rope.

At Jissoji Akio's command, the filming began.

Cheng Long and Yakushimaru Hiroko did not understand each other's language, but they had already reviewed the script and had a general idea of how to perform.

"No matter what, you are just a mortal. If you rashly enter my territory, you must be prepared to be buried with me!"

Yakushimaru Hiroko pointed her finger, and several actors who had already finished their makeup jumped out immediately, without bending their knees, and used the trampoline to jump several meters away.

Yakushimaru Hiroko stepped on the rail car and floated away lightly, leaving a few subordinates to fight Cheng Long.

Cheng Long was very familiar with action scenes. He held his strength and kicked out. The rope was immediately pulled hard outside the field, and the actor who was kicked flew back and suddenly hit a Japanese-style room, smashing the paper door into pieces. The actor lay on the ground motionless.

On the other side, an evil ghost grabbed Cheng Long's neck. He made a sword flower with the peach wood sword in his hand and stabbed the other party directly with his backhand, which immediately caused the actor to tremble like an electric shock, and finally fell to the ground.

Cheng Long captured several evil spirits in a short time. He flipped his hand and made a sword gesture. Later, he would use Wangu's optical processor to draw a ray of light to track the hidden Yakushimaru Hiroko.

Cheng Long stepped forward, raised his hand and swung his sword, but Yakushimaru Hiroko flew away in an instant.

——The wire is hanging.

"Ok?"

Cheng Long looked up.

This time it wasn't an act, I was really surprised.

This fighting style was something he had never seen before.

Hong Kong's Xu Ke is the best at this kind of flying fighting, but Xu Ke is currently shooting some messy films in the studio and has no chance to display his talents.

Gu Ming instructed in this way and hung it several times.

After all, Hiroko Yakushimaru is not a professional action actor, so except for the necessary facial parts, the rest are replaced by Yukari Oshima.

After a few scenes, Cheng Long was just amazed.

He thought Gu Ming was good at large-scale action scenes, but during today's performance, he discovered that Gu Ming also had a unique skill in designing hard-core scenes.

Now he came up with a style he had never seen before!
It's just like those experienced martial artists who have experienced many roles.

Cheng Long looked at Gu Ming and felt that the man in front of him became more and more mysterious.

"Gu Sheng, how many surprises do you have that I haven't discovered yet!"

"That's a lot." Gu Ming spread his hands. Seeing that it was almost time and the light was not very good, he called for everyone to leave. Today, they would stop shooting here.

Cheng Long responded first, and then became concerned about another issue.

"What are Gusheng's plans for the evening? Isn't it inconvenient for us to go back to the city at this time?"

"Why go back? Let's leave it like this for today. When you leave, I'll treat you to a tour. You can stay here today."

Cheng Long was surprised: "Living here? Won't the owner of the house have any objections?"

Yuan Qiu also has a small role here, playing the role of Cheng Long's junior sister.

Well, the senior sister in real life and the junior sister in the play.

Hearing this, Yuan Qiu smiled and said, "Of course I don't have any objections, because this is Gu Sheng's home!"

Cheng Long: ...? !

Cheng Long swore to heaven.

In Hong Kong, where every inch of land is valuable, a so-called thousand-square-foot mansion is less than a hundred square meters, and you cannot buy such a big house even if you have money.

Unless he is Shao Yifu.

However, Run Run Shaw’s Clearwater Bay villa is about this size!
