Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 271 I wish you a big box office hit

Cheng Long has quite a few scenes, such as the afterimages left behind by traveling through time and space, fighting, some information transmission, etc. The filming was concentrated for three days and all his scenes were shot. The part of Yakushimaru Hiroko was also filmed and they will be edited separately later.

Counting the dates this way, Jackie Chan will return to Hong Kong to film "Young Master", and Hiroko Yakushimaru will also return to Tokyo.

It was rare that he got off work early today, and although he could still shoot one or two more shots, Gu Ming simply ignored Jissoji Akio's look asking him to shoot another set of shots.

Just one day! No problem!

"Hey, everyone, stop what you're doing. Two important crew members are leaving the crew today. We're having half a day off. If you want to do some free time, go ahead. If you don't have anything to do, you can go to dinner downtown tonight!"

Cheng Long's face was full of smiles. In his heart, he felt that Gu Ming was quite suitable for his taste. In fact, it was almost like this when he asked him to do something. What is money? Money is a bastard. He can earn it again after spending it!
Although Jackie Chan earns HK$6,000 per film, it doesn't stop him from spending money lavishly.

Cheng Long looks down on people who are stingy with their money, and he never has fun hanging out with such people.

Of course, when making a movie, it must be grand!

Although Cheng Long later made a lot of bad movies, even in these bad movies, the scenes were quite grand, and there were very few petty movies.

Seeing someone coming to talk to Gu Ming, he consciously took a few steps back, not disturbing them, and turned to talk to his senior sister Yuan Qiu.

Gu Mingze half-knelt down and looked straight at Yakushimaru Hiroko.

"Why are you squatting down?"

"Then I stand up?"

"No."

Gu Ming looked at her. She hadn't changed out of her costume yet, and her face was pale. It was hard to tell whether it was because she was frightened by the hanging wire or because her makeup made her look pale.

"I..." Yakushimaru Hiroko stopped and tapped her toes.

"I heard that the shots shot in the early stages might be discarded in the later stages. So, do you want me to reshoot some shots or re-perform to make them more perfect?"

"That won't do. You only took a week off. You need to go back to school. Studying is the most important thing. You can't be like me."

Gu Ming spread his hands.

After all, he has the lowest educational level in the entertainment industry.

Gu Ming looked up at Cheng Long and thought that Cheng Long was about the same.

That’s right, Jackie Chan also entered the opera theater at a young age and never went to school.

But Gu Ming will not be the same as Dr. Zhai.

It is not shameful to have a low level of education. At least he has mastered multiple languages through self-study over the years. Apart from the lack of a certificate, there is no difference.

What I’m afraid of is that someone who clearly has no skills at all wants to show off just to save face, and ends up making things difficult for everyone.

"Okay, it's settled. If there's anything else I can do later, I might go back to Tokyo, but right now you have to go back to class. You have to study hard since the semester just started."

Gu Ming gave a brief lecture and was about to give more instructions when Zhen Xialong shouted at him at the top of his voice.

"Brother Furuya! Your sliding door is broken!"

"It's bad, so what? It's for filming anyway... I'll go see what's going on."

Gu Ming stood up and gave Yakushimaru Hiroko a few more instructions before running away.

Yakushimaru Hiroko raised her head slightly and looked at the clear sky above the patio.

so.

Why does she have to say so many formal words like her father?

A little further away, Cheng Long looked at this side again and again, then turned to look at Yuan Qiu.

"What's up with that little actor?"

"Oh, she seems to be Gu Sheng's sister or something like that. I think they are quite close. She appears in several works."

Cheng Long responded, and suddenly changed the subject: "Um, what's going on with Hashimoto?"

"I don't know about that. I wasn't here when they were here."

Cheng Longton sighed.

Ouch.

The Japanese still know how to play.

Look at the crew, big and small, with good figures, flat, tall and short, all kinds of sisters. Occasionally, when you take a look, you will find that Akira Furutani is simply happy.

However, Cheng Long would not do such a thing.

Having lived in Hong Kong and worked as a martial arts stuntman for several years, Cheng Long has seen this kind of thing happen many times: when the husband is ill, the wife takes all the money and leaves him alone to die.

It's just for fun, there's no need for any feelings. If he has money, he can go out to eat with his brothers. He's happy with his brothers. If he has money, he can give it to beggars. He can learn things from them, but he can't learn anything from women.

"Woman!"

Cheng Long shook his head in a pretentious manner, put his hands behind his back and walked away.

……

……

Of course Gu Ming would not treat Cheng Long to something as outrageous as the Seven Five Three Meals. That night they first ate, then drank, and finally strolled around. Several men stood on a tall building and took turns peeing down to see who could pee the farthest. The scene was so evil that no woman dared to look directly at it.

Gu Ming originally wanted to participate in this activity, but he didn't drink much and was still relatively sober, so he couldn't do such a thing. In the end, he could only watch Cheng Long easily defeat Zhen Xialong and win the championship of the first Nara Rooftop Peeing Competition.

In the blink of an eye, it was already the next day.

This time, Gu Ming drove Cheng Long and Yakushimaru Hiroko out of Nara himself.

Cheng Long is such a grown-up that there is no need to worry about him getting lost, and Yakushimaru Hiroko is also safe because her mother is there to pick her up.

Before getting on the bus, Cheng Long stopped and said to Gu Ming, "I think this movie is quite brilliant, Mr. Gu, I wish you a big hit and great fame in advance!"

"Famous all over the world." Gu Ming smiled.

The Pacific Ocean, the Indian Ocean, and the Atlantic Ocean are only the three major oceans.

Needless to say, if you are famous on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, you can be considered a world-class movie star.

As for the Arctic Ocean, there are not many spectators!
Cheng Long finished his congratulations, then suddenly changed the subject: "It's a pity that there's no real rivalry in this movie, only some literary scenes. In the previous movie 'The Kung Fu Master', I was just a martial arts director. Gu Sheng, when I get the chance, I will definitely invite you to Hong Kong and we will work together to make a movie! For real!"

"Okay, let's do it for real!" Gu Ming also laughed. "By then, we'll sell it not only to Hong Kong, but also to Australia, the US, and Europe. Let those big-nosed foreigners see what a real action movie is and what the King of Kung Fu is!"

Gu Ming may not yet have the ability to break through in Asia, but that doesn't stop him from aiming high. Sooner or later, he'll leverage Japan as a platform to sell his work to Europe and the United States!
After hearing this, Cheng Long also felt a sense of heroism.

What is Hollywood? Have Americans ever seen a real kung fu movie? The thought of taking a kung fu movie overseas shocked the foreigners speechless, and it almost made Cheng Long excited.

Seeing the car had arrived, Cheng Long raised his wrist and bowed.

The mountains remain green and the water flows forever, so we say goodbye!

After seeing him leave, Yakushimaru Hiroko looked up and looked at Gu Ming.

"I didn't know you could speak foreign languages."

“I learned it now.”

"what are you saying?"

"say what……"

Gu Ming raised the corners of his lips and smiled with some pride.

"I say, one day, we'll make a movie, sell it to Hollywood, and scare the Americans so much they'll be speechless and scream 'Goose girl!' Do you believe it?"

Yakushimaru Hiroko shook her head.

I do not believe!
"Oh, you really don't give me any face at all."

Seeing that Yaoshiwan’s mother was already waving at him, Gu Ming raised his hand and gently pushed her.

Let’s go. If there is anything, think about it when you grow up.

Cheng Long is gone, Yaowanzi is gone, but the filming has to continue.

Gu Ming stretched his arms and legs.

Next, it was his turn to shoot the action scenes.

This film was released through Toei's channels. In addition to Japan, it was also released in several well-known box office markets in Asia, including South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Southeast Asian countries, etc., in addition to the classic Australia.

——This is always the case with film producers.

As long as Australian works sell well, they will be distributed to several European and American countries for trial.

Unfortunately, this kind of supernatural work has a small market outside of Asia, and Gu Ming is just using this movie to knock on the door of the Japanese industry first, and by the way, give several countries in Asia a baptism of the cultural motherland.

As for participating in the exhibition, Gu Ming had never even thought about it.

This kind of Kung Fu film wouldn't win any awards if submitted to an exhibition, so it's better to just finish filming and focus on the release. It has to make tens of millions of yen at the box office first!
