Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 289 The elderly will miss their old age

"Is Brother Gu Gu back?"

"How's Hawaii? Is it fun?"

Looking at the eager faces before him, Gu Ming spread his hands and said, "I don't know. I'm not going there for fun. Okay, everyone, put down what you're doing and come over here. I have something to announce."

"After this movie comes out, I'm sure there will be more offers for other films and TV series, and even invitations to act in the show."

"As long as it's appropriate, I mean, as long as it's a more formal company, such an invitation can be accepted."

"As for me, I have to disappear for a while."

Manatsu Ryu suddenly looked up: "Brother Furuya, what are you doing? Are you going to participate in some secret national operation?"

"I see you're taking action! This isn't something we need to hide. You all know Kurosawa Akira, right? Actually, I went to Hawaii this time just to meet him. He's preparing a new film. I may not appear in it, but I'll be working behind the scenes. I'm going to be Mr. Kurosawa's assistant."

Kurosawa Akira had a bad temper, loved to curse, and liked to torment actors, but you could really learn a lot from working as his assistant.

When they heard the name Kurosawa Akira, many people immediately raised their heads and looked at Gu Ming.

I never expected that the agency would actually cooperate with Kurosawa!

"Are you looking for Furuya-san to play Oda Nobunaga?"

"It can't be Tokugawa Ieyasu."

"Idiot, there's no way Furuya-kun could possibly play Tokugawa Ieyasu, he doesn't even look like him!"

Gu Ming laughed and shook his head quickly.

"I've already said that I'm going to be an assistant. Although I'd like to play a role if possible, Mr. Kurosawa is a stubborn person, and the chances of convincing him are slim. In short, I can only do behind-the-scenes work for now. So during this period, I won't accept any film offers."

Instead of shooting some messed up work, I would rather make a movie with Kurosawa Akira.

Please.

That's "Shadow Warrior".

Gu Ming pulled over a whiteboard and wrote everyone's names.

"Anyway, the arrangement for this period is that Tatsumi Nikamoto will be in charge of directing the killing moves for the new Kamen Rider game, and you will be working with your friends from the Ohno Kenyoukai to perform the killing moves there."

"Long, if you can get that performance at Toei, try to do it. If you can't, don't be disappointed... I have other plans for you."

Although Spider-Man is good, it is understandable that he cannot play the role. Ryu Manaka's image and temperament are not particularly consistent with the image of Spider-Man.

"Finally, there's Wangu... If I work as an assistant to Mr. Kurosawa, you won't see me for at least half a year, so I have to go to Wangu to inquire about his filming plans."

It is not known how long Wangu Eiji can hold on. If possible, Gu Ming hopes that he can see Guiman start filming.

After all, "Return of Ultraman" saved Bankai.

Although Seven's work was the most popular within Wangu, it was actually Guiman who saved Wangu.

It just so happens that we have a ready-made Tuan Shilang, and he also has a suit actor here, so it would be a pity not to film Guiman.

If TBS doesn't agree, Gu Ming will try to see if other companies have the same idea.

After everything was settled, Gu Ming drew three big circles on three things.

"Anyway, that's it. Also, if anyone has any good places to read, please recommend them to me. I'd like to read some classics from the Warring States period, especially about the life of Takeda Shingen."

Takeda Shingen, the Tiger of Kai. Although Tani Ming feels that he may not be able to surpass actors like Katsu Shintaro and Nakadai Tatsuya, it always makes sense to give it a try.

Be prepared!
…………

Wangu.

Gu Ming has explained this matter to Wan Gu Eiji.

Although Wangu Eiji looked quite energetic, Gu Ming was not sure how long he could hold on.

After all, Eiji Mantani's thinking has begun to slow down.

"Yeah, Kurosawa Akira... That guy had a bad temper when he was at Toho. He loved to curse and even hit people. It wasn't a good job to help him."

Eiji Mantani grinned, his smile full of nostalgia.

"Toho was still very prosperous back then. There were endless projects being completed every day, and the studios were rarely idle. When filming Godzilla, due to limited equipment and insufficient power supply, they specifically shut down the power to the other studios, leaving only two studios. One was the high-lumen studio dedicated to filming Godzilla, and the other was the studio where Kurosawa Akira filmed his swordplay films..."

"But Gao Liuming also consumes electricity. His power supply is often insufficient, so that guy ran over angrily and yelled, 'I'm the emperor!'"

Gu Ming spoke at the right moment: "And then?"

"And then? Some people on our side started shouting too. 'What's the Emperor? We still have God!'"

"Finally, of course, I lent him the studio during our break. That high-lumen studio can produce the best lighting, and he often likes to borrow it."

"Later on, that guy had a bad temper and broke up and got back together with Toho several times. Finally, I heard that he broke up with Toho completely. Now, Toho seems to have stopped making movies."

Gu Ming hesitated to speak.

Toho seems to be in trouble now, but who would have thought that Toho would become the biggest giant in the future.

Toho hardly makes any live-action movies these days, and most of the movies it makes are animated films.

So Toho strategically contracted and switched from making movies to building cinemas.

As a result, after the bubble burst, people began to pursue movies as a cheap form of entertainment, and Toho became a giant in Japan's cinema chain.

Although Toho is not the largest cinema chain, it has the largest production capacity and can easily support a film.

Naturally, Eiji Mantani would not have foreseen such a thing. He just kept chattering about his experiences at Toho and talking about the past.

It was not until more than half an hour later, seeing that he was a little tired, that Gu Ming got up.

"Anyway, after going to Mr. Kurosawa's place, I couldn't leave for a long time. So I wanted to do one thing, to find a TV station that could restart filming."

Gu Ming will go and ask to see the minister of TBS again.

It would be best if TBS is willing to reboot, otherwise, we can only turn to Fuji TV.

If this doesn't work, Gu Ming has one last option.

Oh! TV Asahi!
Showing Kamen Rider and Ultraman at the same time, I just want to ask you, Toei, whether you agree or not!

Watch TV Asahi and get double the experience!

Gu Ming dared to say that with Watanabe Ryosuke's courage, he would most likely make the decision on the spot.

It's done!

The price may not be good, but Ryosuke Watanabe is definitely someone who can do such a thing.
