Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 296 I Will Continue to Interrupt
Toho.

As soon as Gu Ming arrived, he saw Kurosawa Akira, who was like the moon surrounded by stars. Among the staff of the Kurosawa group, he was like the sun that never disappeared, and the light and heat he emitted made it difficult to look directly at him.

However, Gu Ming still walked forward towards the scorching sunlight.

"Aki Furuya."

Kurosawa glanced at Gu Ming, his attitude as bad as ever.

"Have you learned what you should do tonight?"

Gu Ming nodded: "I learned it."

"tell me."

"Since I'm an assistant, I should do what an assistant should do. If something like this still happens, I will still explain the situation."

The sharp gaze behind the sunglasses pierced Gu Ming's eyes.

Kurosawa pointed at Gu Ming and said, "If you dare to question my decision next time, you'll pack up and get out!"

Gu Ming said, "Then I will dare to do it again next time."

Brush Lala!
In an instant, more than a dozen eyes turned to Gu Ming and Kurosawa Akira.

Honda Inoshiro hesitated to speak.

Muraki and Shiro, who had met him once yesterday, were also secretly sweating.

Kurosawa Akira is notoriously bad-tempered. On the set, he is a tyrant who has the final say, and no one can question Kurosawa!
Muraki and Shiro silently took off their hats.

However, unexpectedly, Kurosawa did not lose his temper, but just cursed out a typical Japanese swear word.

"Alright, get back to work! You bastards!"

Seeing Kurosawa Akira leave first, the members of the Kurosawa group finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed him.

Muraki and Shiro came over and whispered, "I don't know why you said that, but the master seems quite satisfied... Well, don't be like this again in the future, just focus on your work!"

After saying that, he quickly followed.

Gu Ming spread his hands.

Good job Kurosawa, his voice is so loud that he can't help but cover his ears when he shouts.

……

……

Today is still a long and endless audition.

In the evening, Kurosawa walked into the audition room.

Seeing him, the others stood up one after another, including Gu Ming.

Kurosawa raised his hand and asked everyone to sit down.

"Let me meet the person you're looking for."

"Yes."

With just one phone call, Gu Ming finally found the person he was waiting for.

Ryudaisuke rubbed his hands and ran over quickly.

This tall and thin man, who is 1.87 meters tall, is a few centimeters taller than Gu Ming, but at this moment, he still lowered his head and knelt in servility in front of Gu Ming and other staff members.

Kurosawa Akira, hidden behind everyone, was not at all noticeable, as if he was not there.

Gu Ming said, "Let's cut to the chase... that role isn't suitable for you, and you're out."

Long Daisuke was not surprised, he just lowered his head and bowed.

"Yes, I'm very sorry that I couldn't satisfy you."

"However, I think there is another role that is more suitable for you. Here is the script. Come and give it a try."

Gu Ming picked up the script in his hand and handed it over.

Ryu Daisuke was slightly stunned, then an expression of ecstasy appeared on his face, and he hurried over to take the script.

The cover made him gasp inwardly.

Oda Nobunaga!

Although Oda Nobunaga is only a supporting role in this play, he is also a well-known figure.

Long Daisuke took it and glanced at it quickly, trying to figure out the feelings, and he had a rough idea in his mind.

This is a scene between Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu. Oda Nobunaga tasted a sip of red wine and thought it tasted wonderful, so he gave a glass to Tokugawa Ieyasu. However, Tokugawa Ieyasu couldn't get used to it and immediately spit it out.

Of course, this is a play on the surface, but it actually revolves around the death of Takeda Shingen.

Was Takeda Shingen truly dead, or was he faking his own death? This Tiger of Kai filled both the fledgling Oda Nobunaga and Matsudaira Motoyasu, who had yet to change his name, with trepidation.

On the surface, it's about drinking, but in fact, it also reflects the different personalities of the two people and their ways of dealing with Takeda Shingen.

Gu Ming waved his hand and called for his assistant.

"Go get him a glass of water."

"Yes."

Long Daisuke held the water cup in his hand, lowered his head, and stared at the water surface that was as full as a full moon.

"I……"

He held the disposable paper cup and slowly savored the water in it, as if it were sweet red wine.

Then, he handed the paper cup to a non-existent person next to him.

"Stop looking so sad and have a drink!"

"...Oh, you really don't understand elegance."

He recited his lines and performed.

Gu Ming tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, and he was already roughly certain in his mind.

This person is not suitable for the previous role, but judging from the height and appearance, he is indeed more suitable for Oda Nobunaga.

Gu Ming stood up only after the performance was over.

Long Daisuke thought Gu Ming was going to make some comments, but Gu Ming did not stand up. He just took half a step aside to make way for the people behind him.

"Ah!!" Long Daisuke was slightly startled, recognized the person in front of him, and quickly bowed deeply.

"Mr. Kurosawa!"

Kurosawa lowered his head slightly and looked at Ryudaisuke.

"Act well...don't let this role down!"

After saying this, Kurosawa Akira stood up and left.

Ryu Daisuke was confused at first, and then he was ecstatic.

It worked! I landed a role in Akira Kurosawa's masterpiece!
Although he is not the protagonist, he is a supporting role with important parts.

He knew that he was not qualified to be compared with a veteran swordplay film star like Katsu Shintaro.

However, it is gratifying enough to get such a supporting role!

Gu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that it was almost time, he announced that work was over for the day.

There was no need for Gu Ming to clean up the things here. He left a word of encouragement to Long Daisuke and walked out of the room.

The other staff members were packing up the scripts, tables, chairs, benches, etc.

The assistant came over and whispered something: "You're really lucky!"

"Yes, yes." Ryu Daisuke exclaimed, "I never thought I would be recognized by Mr. Kurosawa himself!"

"That's not what I'm talking about!"

The assistant whispered a few words.

Ryu Daisuke's eyes widened in an instant.

Hard to beat?!

There is actually such a thing!
……

……

In the evening, Gu Ming stayed at home to watch videotapes.

He was watching Akira Kurosawa's famous work, "Seven Samurai".

This is a swordplay film, and a black and white swordplay film.

There was no color technology at the time.

Kurosawa's first color film was an autobiographical film called "Train Mania", but it failed both at the box office and in terms of reputation, which directly led to Kurosawa's suicide by cutting his wrists and he has retired from the film industry ever since.

Videotapes are really expensive. Gu Ming spent a lot of money on this videotape.

"It would be nice if there was a place to rent videos."

Gu Ming scratched his head secretly.

Who would have thought that there was no place to rent videotapes in Japan!
He shook his head, ignored it, and continued watching the movie.
