Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 278 Extreme Action Agency, presented to you

There weren't too many people in the cinema. Manatsu Ryu took a quick look and saw that about 70 to 80 percent of the people were sitting there.

Movies, especially live-action movies, are not the most popular art form in Japan.

In later generations, all the Japanese films that stood out were animated films.

But at present, Japan has not experienced various disillusionments, and its love for animated films has not reached its peak. Live-action films still have a considerable audience.

Soon, the story begins, and the camera follows Ken Shimizu's perspective as he tours the house. This is a typical Tokyo single-family house with two floors, the downstairs for entertaining guests and daily living, and the upstairs for resting.

Ken Shimizu was carrying a heavy backpack in one hand and struggling to reach something with the other hand. As a result, he lost sight of one thing while focusing on another and the backpack fell to the ground.

Just at this moment, someone downstairs called his name again. Ken Shimizu stuck his head out and met Hashimoto Aruna's gaze.

The camera moves from bottom to top, from the perspective of Hashimoto Yuuna, shining on Shimizu Ken's face, responding a few times, and then turning back to Shimizu Ken's side.

On one side were his urging friends, on the other side were scattered backpacks. Shimizu Ken suddenly formed a seal with his hands...

Hey!
I know Yin-Yang magic!
The monkey-like Shingo Yanagisawa appeared in a red and white turtleneck suit, looking like he had stolen adult clothes.

There is also a story behind this, he is the Shikigami 'Monkey God'!
Under the guidance of Shimizu Ken, the monkey god started to clean up the backpack. Then the monkey god ran to Shimizu Ken to ask for a reward, but Shimizu Ken said he didn't know. This angered the shikigami, and he began to use Yin Yang magic to tease Shimizu Ken.

“Pfft… ah, sorry, I’m so sorry!”

An audience member in the front row waved his hands hurriedly.

But we saw Ken Shimizu performing all kinds of acrobatics in front of the camera, and in the end even his clothes were torn.

"I was thinking I should change into new clothes..."

"Come back you!"

Such a muscular figure really attracted a lot of people's attention.

Compared with "Superman" released a few days ago, they have their own merits.

Christopher is a pure white inverted triangle, and Gu Ming is not as exaggerated, but he is also quite capable and eye-catching.

After some fun, the three main characters finally reunited. When driving by, they casually mentioned that Saizeriya was having a crazy Thursday sale, with items as low as 50 yen.

As the car drove into a secluded road, the ancient Nara house finally appeared in front of them.

So far, the film has shown the three protagonists, especially the contemporary Onmyoji Ken Shimizu who possesses Onmyoji techniques.

Although the scene is still remarkable, it also makes the audience a little suspicious.

Isn’t it a vengeful spirit? Where is the vengeful spirit?
The three of them entered the mansion under the guidance of their tour guide Ken Yamagata. Ken Yamagata also introduced the history of the mansion to everyone. It was originally the mansion of the Himuro family, a powerful family in Nara in the past. However, the Himuro family disappeared after a disaster, and the mansion was abandoned. It was only in recent years that it was tidied up and used as a B&B.

Four people stood in front of the dry landscape, commenting on it, but the camera gradually pulled away at this moment and gradually moved to the double doors at the entrance.

Beneath the shadows, ten toes were clad in wooden clogs and white socks.

The camera gradually turned upwards, revealing the true appearance of the vengeful spirit 'Himuro Kirie'.

Although she looks like just a little girl, her appearance makes people realize something in an instant.

She is not human!
At this time, Arina Hashimoto walked towards the camera while talking, preparing to take the gift.

Even after going through the filming, Zhen Xialong couldn't help but sweat secretly at this moment.

However, just as Hashimoto Arina walked over, the vengeful spirit disappeared, leaving only a black human-shaped mark on the wall.

The four of them checked into the Himuro residence, preparing to travel in Nara the next day.

What is there to do in Nara?
The tour guide, Ken Yamagata, said so.

Nara is a city that has inherited the fine traditions of ancient architecture from the Tang Dynasty! For example, Toshodai-ji Temple was built during the Tang Dynasty to welcome the eminent monk Jianzhen.

Through the mouth of Yamagata Ken, the various origins of Nara and the Tang people were told.

Time gradually passed, and it was evening. The four of them were talking and laughing as they went about their daily lives, making their own BBQ in the courtyard. Everything seemed so beautiful, but the camera slowly moved down, down, into the darkness at the center of the earth, and gradually came to the basement.

In the basement, the Yin-Yang magician 'Sora Aoi' was wearing a thick kimono and sitting cross-legged on a mat, with various magical instruments placed in front of her.

The person who had previously distributed the travel coupons was half-kneeling in front of her.

At this point, the plot has become extremely clear, and the audience can see that it seems that from the very beginning, this low-cost tour was a means to lure them here.

In the desolate countryside, in an old house with a long history, three young people who are ignorant of the immensity of the world and a stuffy local tour guide, everything seems to be a situation where death is inevitable.

However, there is a Ken Shimizu here.

He is a modern Yin-Yang master!

"Suck, suck, suck..."

I don't know who was sucking the empty drink, making the sound.

Zhen Xialong was annoyed and lowered his voice: "Asshole, how can you be so uncultured!"

The audience member whose name was called hurriedly apologized, bowed, and turned around to continue watching the movie.

Sora Aoi was here, telling her subordinates about the history of this mansion. In the past, the Himuro family had a tradition of sacrifice, but one sacrifice failed, causing Himuro Kirie to become a vengeful spirit. Although she was later sealed away by a master, her ghost still lingered, making the mansion off-limits to strangers.

Now she is calculating the birth dates - yes, Japan also has the concept of birth dates - and she has figured out that these four people are the right candidates. They can be used as sacrifices to free the resentful spirits, and they can also use the resentment to refine treasures.

Well, at the very least it is a personal imperial banner.

The plot progresses in an orderly manner. The four people dispersed after the bonfire party, but strange phenomena kept appearing in the mansion. Just when Kato Toru was attacked by ghosts and narrowly escaped death, suddenly a duo of priests and nuns, Tokiro Tanaka and Cynthia Rothrock, arrived. They found that there was a lot of resentment here, so they came here with the grace of God to baptize the vengeful spirits.

At this time, the three protagonists reunited, and Ken Shimizu said that the priests and nuns' tricks would not work because this is Japan, and Western tricks have no effect on Eastern ghosts.

The priests and nuns naturally did not believe Ken Shimizu and quickly went deep into the mansion.

Ken Shimizu wanted to follow, but found that the tour guide Ken Yamagata was missing, so he turned around and took the two of them to find Ken Yamagata.

It was because of this delay that the priest and nun duo were both killed by the attack of Sora Aoi and Masahiko Kondo, and their souls were taken away and turned into a kind of existence between Shikigami.

Ken Shimizu explained the problem with the mansion, but Ken Yamagata didn't believe it and accidentally touched the seal, which resulted in him releasing Kirie Himuro early.

In an instant, cold winds blew and the mansion turned into a terrifying hell.

Just when several people were distracted taking care of Yamagata Ken, two figures walked over from a distance.

Kato Ying took a closer look and found that it was a duo of priests and nuns. At first he was quite happy and went forward to greet them, but the next moment he was reminded by Shimizu Ken and avoided a fatal blow. Then he found out that the two had been dead for a long time and had been transformed into some kind of puppets.

Although Ken Shimizu killed the priest, the nun was difficult to deal with. With the help of the nun, Ken Shimizu fought with Sora Aoi who was hiding in the basement, and finally killed the nun.

However, due to this delay, Ken Shimizu had no time to reinforce the seal and seal the vengeful spirit again.

At this moment, the wind was blowing coldly, the gates of hell opened wide, and the phantom that only existed in the past also appeared in front of everyone.

The agile man who exorcises demons everywhere is the Hong Kong exorcist played by Cheng Long. It was he who sealed the vengeful spirit Himuro Kirie here many years ago.

With the help of the phantom, the half-baked onmyoji Ken Shimizu finally found a way to solve all these disasters. The film finally moves on to the final battle. While Ken Shimizu casts spells to fight Sora Aoi, he also has to deal with Kondo Masahiko's sneak attack. In embarrassment, he calls Kato Toru.

"I will now use the secret method of Yin-Yang magic to open up the meridians throughout your body..."

"Brother Qingshui, I lost my first kiss!"

"You've taken advantage of such a big opportunity, what else can you say?"

Ken Shimizu looked up and saw Kondo Masahiko coming towards him again, so he quickly pushed Kato Toru.

"Rorororo... I've lost my first kiss too, go ahead!"

There was a rare moment of relaxed atmosphere during the final battle, and a burst of good-natured laughter could be heard in the theater.

But soon, everyone looked around and wanted to apologize, but they found that everyone else had the same reaction. This made them feel a little relieved and they could concentrate on watching the movie.

On this side, Kato Toru defeated Kondo Masahiko, Shimizu Ken also won the battle, and the heroine Hashimoto Arina also touched the real vengeful spirit. It turned out that she was not an ordinary person, but a descendant of the ancient Son of God, with the ability to "see" through the experiences of spirits.

In a flash, she saw the experiences of the vengeful spirit Himuro Kirie in her previous life.

Inhumane sacrifices, a strict and rigid old father, a tragically dead lover...

With the cooperation of Hashimoto Arina and Shimizu Ken, the vengeful spirit was finally successfully liberated and became a Buddha and ascended to heaven.

As the morning sun set over the horizon, several people supported each other and limped out of the mansion.

The Nara Ghost Scroll closes here.

The film ended and Manatsu Ryu breathed a sigh of relief.

It was the first time he saw the finished film, and he felt that the effect was quite good.

The vengeful spirits in the movie are all real people with makeup, and they are all played by people from the agency, so they are agile and quite powerful.

Just when a few people were wondering why the lights in the theater were still not on, the picture suddenly changed.

The story is not over yet, there are even Easter eggs.

After resting for a few months, Ken Shimizu received a letter from one of his mentors, who said that if he received the letter, it would mean that he was in crisis. He left his inheritance to Ken Shimizu and hoped that Ken Shimizu would not come to him.

Ken Shimizu looked from afar, his eyes seemed to be able to see through the heavy fog and reach the distant other side.

It was a warm and welcoming village...

Finally, subtitles appeared.

The story of the Scroll of Vengeful Spirits has not yet ended, and there will be more crises waiting for the trio to solve.

The largest subtitles to date appeared on the big screen.

【Extreme Action Agency, presented to you】

The lights in the cinema finally came on.

Manatsu Ryu let out a long sigh, looked around, and felt inexplicably proud.

Our video doesn’t seem too bad!
I just don’t know what the viewing situation will be like in other cinemas.
