Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 28: Taking advantage of one's age, even Buddha gets angry
Before Gu Ming could say yes, Nakajima Haruo walked in on his own.

Gu Ming frowned, feeling a little dissatisfied.

Suddenly a strange guest came to visit. Although Shaqin was surprised, she still bowed and saluted Nakajima Haruo.

Nakajima Haruo took the opportunity to sit down at the table that had not been cleared yet, and looked around, suddenly feeling a little dissatisfied: ""

"Oh my, what's going on? There's not even a cup of tea for the guests?"

Shaqin was slightly startled, then hurriedly saluted.

"I'll go buy it right away." After saying that, she hurriedly put on her shoes and ran out.

Gu Ming endured it again and sat opposite Nakajima Haruo.

"Nakajima Haruo."

Gu Ming read out his name.

That attitude made Nakajima Haruo frown instantly: "What? You don't even use honorifics? I'm your senior!"

Gu Ming pulled the corners of his mouth, outlining a complex and indescribable expression.

What a great senior, he doesn’t play Godzilla.

If Narita Toru had not mentioned this person before, Gu Ming would not have made a special trip to visit Nakajima Haruo.

"Let's be direct." Gu Ming didn't want to continue being polite. He raised his hand and tapped the table lightly.

"Nakajima, what do you want to do for me?"

Nakajima Haruo grumbled, "They don't even use honorifics. This won't do. How can we have a good show without rules?"

Thinking about the pressing matters in his pocket, Nakajima Haruo said tentatively, "It seems that Wangu's new movie is already being filmed, right? If it's convenient, could you please ask me when there will be an announcement for me? I would be very grateful to you."

Gu Ming was really shocked.

He never thought that Nakajima Haruo came here so brazenly just for this matter.

What made Gu Ming feel even more incredible was that no matter what he did, he could not see any attitude of begging from Nakajima Haruo.

Gu Ming politely declined the offer: "Since you have friends in Wan Gu, it shouldn't be difficult to just ask about this matter. Why bother coming to me? I'm just an actor."

Unexpectedly, Nakajima Haruo frowned.

"Why, you won't even help me with such a small matter? Or do you want something else? Then let's make an exchange. Go ask Wangu for me, and I can teach you the tricks of being a suit actor. Isn't that what you want? You're pretending to come to me just for this."

Gu Ming really couldn't stand it anymore.

He is indeed a more Buddhist person, but no matter what, he will get angry.

"Nakajima, this isn't the attitude of someone asking for help, is it? Putting aside the fact that I'm just a suit actor, I have no right to ask about Banku's hiring. Even if I could ask, I'm not going to be honest, but I don't see any sincerity in you asking for help."

Gu Ming casually pointed outside the door and ordered everyone to leave.

He no longer wanted to continue receiving Haruo Nakajima.

At first, Gu Ming thought the other party was just visiting.

Gu Ming also came to a conclusion on this matter.

"If you want to start work, you can always come to Wangu. There's no need to go all the way to me. However, if that's your attitude, I'm afraid Wangu won't accept it."

Nakajima Haruo frowned instantly, as if he had suffered a great insult.

"Why, are you so proud of having a leading role? You can even blatantly ignore the trust of your seniors. Young people nowadays are so rude! I played Godzilla before! You know Godzilla! The best work! This Ultraman nowadays can't even compare to Godzilla..."

Gu Ming rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the kitchen.

The kitchen knife was placed on the chopping board. Shaqin had used it to cut vegetables not long ago. It was scrubbed clean and gleamed silver.

Nakajima Haruo was startled. Seeing Gu Ming walking towards him with a kitchen knife drawn, he quickly stood up and ran to the door to pick up his shoes.

"Rude, so rude..."

Haruo Nakajima picked up the unopened box of pastries, turned the doorknob a few times, turned around and ran away.

Gu Ming didn't chase after him, but just held the hilt of the knife, trying to control his chaotic thoughts.

For a moment, Gu Mingzhen was worried that if he chased him to death, he would kill him.

If that happens, I'm afraid I'll end up in jail.

"It's not worth it... It's not worth hurting myself for something like this."

Gu Ming sighed slightly.

In life, there are always times when our peaceful state of mind is interrupted by others.

Hearing the sound of someone pressing down the doorknob, Gu Ming looked up suddenly. This time, it was no longer Nakajima Haruo who walked in, but Saqin, who was holding a cloth bag filled with drinks in her hand.

Looking around, she couldn't see Nakajima Haruo, which made her somewhat puzzled.

"Furuya-kun? Has the guest left?"

"What guest?" Gu Ming waved his hand. "He's just some annoying guy. He made you run out to buy a drink. I won't entertain him again."

Gu Ming put the kitchen knife back to its place and shrugged his shoulders pretending to be relaxed.

It's over, let's not worry about it for now.

Shaqin put down the bag while thinking about this matter.

Speaking of which, she had heard Gu Ming mention the name Nakajima Haruo.

"That Mr. Nakajima Haruo just now is the senior in the entertainment industry that I mentioned earlier, right?"

I get angry whenever I mention Gu Ming.

"What do you call them? They're just some seniors with a glorious history, so they come here to show off and order people around. They seemed quite powerful before, but now, they're just like that. There's nothing glorious about them anymore."

Seeing that Gu Ming didn't want to talk anymore, Shaqin didn't ask any more questions.

I couldn't even bring myself to say, "Let's get along well with my seniors."

"That's true." Shaqin murmured softly.

Gu Ming would not be playing Godzilla, so he had little interaction with the other party, and naturally there was no need for him to continue to be humble.

But if this happens, they will be very annoyed!
……

……

On the train back, Nakajima Haruo grabbed the handrail with a gloomy look on his face.

Of course Nakajima Haruo was annoyed, but there was no point in being annoyed.

Gu Ming is not an actor of Toho.

Moreover, Haruo Nakajima has no influence in Toho. At most, he just knows a lot of people because of his long experience.

So in the end, Nakajima Haruo could only wolf down the pastries while mumbling.

"Young people nowadays really have no respect for their elders at all. It's so disrespectful!!"

What Ultraman or not, it just looks like that, it won’t become popular.

Nakajima Haruo comforted himself.

It’s sour and not tasty!

It doesn't matter if I don't perform. I won't become famous anyway, so it's not worth the trip. I might as well find some work at Toho.

He was an actor at Toho, so even if he didn't act in any films every month, he would still have a minimum salary. It wasn't much, but it was enough for him to eat and drink.

But then, I wouldn't be able to play marbles to my heart's content.

After all, Nakajima Haruo has played the leading role more than once. In addition to his extensive experience, he has also played important roles. Although he may not be wealthy, he should have some savings, enough for him to live happily in Tokyo.

But after becoming addicted to playing pinball, all his savings were spent. He even had to give up his original residence and move back to the Toho dormitory.

Suddenly, a series of simulated "sizzling" sounds interrupted Nakajima Haruo's thoughts.

He came to his senses and looked at the child in front of him who had short arms and legs and looked like a monkey.

The child crossed his arms, faced him, and made a 'sizzling' sound with his mouth.

"Zizizizi!!! I'm Ultraman! I'll beat you to death!"

Nakajima Haruo clenched his palms instantly.

Whose child is this!

What a crap Ultraman, so annoying!

Seeing that the other person had both parents around him, Nakajima Haruo endured it.

He is a highly qualified person and cannot hit a child!
Even if he starved to death and couldn't find a job in Dongbao, he would never ask Wan Gu for help, let alone Gu Ming for help!
Thinking of Gu Ming's face that was so calm and seemed to be indifferent, Nakajima Haruo felt inexplicably annoyed.

No matter what, he is a senior who once played Godzilla. Don't you know how to have some basic respect for him?

Ultraman and the like... they look so miserable, the ratings will definitely not even be 5%!
Haruo Nakajima was still unhappy when he returned to the dormitory. After thinking about it, he made up his mind to call an old friend.

He has a lot of experience, so he knows a lot of people. If you look for them easily, you can find that they are all employees of Wan Gu.

"Hello? Is this Sato-kun? I'm Nakajima. Oh, who else could it be? Of course, it's the Nakajima who played Godzilla! Do me a favor, how about this? I'll treat you well this weekend..."
