Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 295 This is my duty

After a few lines, Gu Ming felt that this person had a good command of lines.

However, the style of the performance was obviously not suitable, and coupled with the inappropriate height, it was obviously not acceptable.

Gu Ming originally wanted to draw a big cross, but after thinking about it, he decided to leave a few question marks.

At least he has some skills, better than most actors I met today.

It seems that Nakadai Tatsuya's acting school was not opened in vain, it is somewhat useful.

Gu Ming glanced at his assistant, only to see him draw a big red cross on his side.

This person obviously cannot pass the assistant's approval.

Gu Ming waited for the time being and said a few words, asking Long Daisuke to go back and wait for news. The other party then bowed and left.

Before the next person came in, Gu Ming greeted his assistant.

"This person's skills seem to be pretty good."

"Yes, but unfortunately, there is no role suitable for him here, so he cannot be used. Mr. Kurosawa is very strict in the use of actors."

Gu Ming hissed, "Isn't there a role suitable for him over there? I mean, over there at the audition next door?"

The assistant suddenly showed a strange expression.

"Furuya-kun, I..."

He hesitated to speak, but was actually weighing the pros and cons.

In the workplace, if you say something wrong, you will be fired!

After a long pause, he finally said, "This kind of thing has crossed the line, and we shouldn't be held responsible. Perhaps this person has a more suitable role, but his presence here means he made the wrong choice, and we can't pay for his wrong choice."

Gu Ming could only spread his hands.

曼。

What else can I say!

In a sense, this is true.

If you don't do it, it's not wrong. If you do it more, you will make more mistakes!

Gu Ming could only mourn for the actor in silence and then continue to work.

Throughout the entire day, he auditioned for various roles, and thanks to this, Gu Ming was able to witness all kinds of acting skills.

One of the actors who auditioned for the role of Takeda Shingen's concubine actually took off her clothes as soon as she came in.

(. People.) It was really shocking, but before Gu Ming could say anything, the assistant asked someone to kick her out.

Although there are many actors with excellent acting skills among them, many of them are simply untalented and their lines are delivered without any emotion.

After a busy whole day, Gu Ming finally met Kurosawa Akira.

It can be seen that the old man was not idle all day.

Kurosawa was still wearing sunglasses and a beret on his head.

"Gugu, come here." Kurosawa raised his hand and called him. Gugu took the notebook that recorded the actors' names today and handed it to Kurosawa.

Kurosawa Akira flipped through the book briefly, his expression unchanged, and he just casually pointed at a name on the book.

"What's wrong with this person?"

"There's no suitable role for him there," Gu Ming said. "But this person has great acting skills, so I think he can wait and see. Maybe there's a role suitable for him somewhere else."

The actors who were auditioning for Gu Ming were all supporting roles with few shots, while Masakage Yamagata had the most shots.

But there are some supporting roles with more scenes or more special status, which need to be played by other people. Those are auditioned by Kurosawa Akira himself.

After Gu Ming finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill. It was difficult to see his eyes clearly through the sunglasses, but Gu Ming could feel that Kurosawa Akira's eyes were fixed on him.

After a while, Kurosawa slowly uttered a few words.

"You've crossed a line."

"Um...but I think in a production of this scale, wouldn't it be a shame if some actors were overlooked?"

"Gugu, figure out your position."

Gu Ming's eyelids twitched slightly.

For a moment, he was confused about Kurosawa's thoughts. Was it approval or disapproval?

But the answer did not last long, and Gu Ming answered according to his heart.

"My role is to be your assistant, a formation-killing master, and perhaps even have a role in the film. However, as an assistant, I certainly hope the film will be better. As for whether I've crossed the line or not, I think that's not that important."

Kurosawa slammed the notebook on Gu Ming with such force that it hurt a little.

"You can think of a time when it will be your turn! Go back and have a good rest, and wait for the call!"

Gu Ming secretly sighed in his heart.

Kurosawa Akira was indeed difficult to get along with, and he was driven away with just one sentence.

Gu Ming didn't say anything more, just bowed slightly and took his leave. Before leaving, he saw his assistant quickly chasing after him, and it was unknown what he said to Kurosawa Akira.

Gu Ming could only shake his head secretly.

Kurosawa Akira was notoriously difficult to get along with, and was disliked by many actors and directors in the entertainment industry during his lifetime.

Now it seems.

This is too difficult to get along with!

……

……

In the evening, at the Extreme Action Agency.

In the small office, Jissoji Akio was holding a beer in his hand, but he looked at Gu Ming with an incredible look on his face.

"So you're back?"

"Yes, so I came back."

"Ouch!"

After hearing what Gu Ming said, Jissoji Akio suddenly felt a little disappointed: "How can you come back! If it were me, I would kneel down and kowtow to admit my mistake and beg him, but I still can't come back!"

Gu Ming, on the other hand, was amused. "Akira Kurosawa is truly remarkable, and I admire his achievements, but why should I kneel before him? Besides, did I do anything wrong? If an actor has a suitable role, but someone is afraid of responsibility and doesn't dare give him the role, then the role of casting director is completely unnecessary. It's like a dog with a leash on its head. Even a dog can be a casting director."

Jissoji Akio felt more and more disappointed with his son and wanted to say something, but all his words could only turn into a sigh.

"You can't think like that. That's Kurosawa Akira. He wants dogs. You're going there to do this job. He's already decided who to choose and who to use. You just need to do your job well. Why get into trouble? If you had admitted your mistake immediately, he wouldn't have minded. But now, it's too late!"

Gu Ming spread his hands.

It’s late, it’s fate.

I guess it will be published in the newspaper tomorrow.

The new assistant was fired by Kurosawa Akira on the second day after he started working. It is suspected that Kurosawa Akira was dissatisfied with his poor business skills.

"Don't be too discouraged. You still have other projects! The film is starting to pay you back, and maybe you can even win a Japanese film award. But forget about winning an award overseas."

As Jissoji Akio was comforting her, the phone rang.

Gu Ming answered the call casually.

"Yes, from the Extreme Action Agency. I'm Akira Furuya... huh?"

Gu Ming suddenly stood up.

The person calling was Akira Kurosawa.

"Have you rested well?"

"Um, done?"

"When you're done, get back to work! Continue working tomorrow!"

With a click, the phone was hung up.

Jissoji Akio looked up at Gu Ming.

Gu Ming said: "Mr. Kurosawa called and told me to go back to work tomorrow."

Jissoji Akio:?

Is it Kurosawa who is crazy, or is it the world that is crazy!
This can also go back to work!
