Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 43 Was He Hit by a Truck?
Kotaro Akiyama, 51 years old, male.

Although there is no particular spectrum, Kotaro Akiyama just doesn't like the latest drama of Bankai.

It's a shame to film that kind of thing!

Although he couldn't contact anyone, Kotaro Akiyama decided to teach Wangu a lesson alone, just like "Tianzhu", to punish those hateful people.

Kotaro Akiyama had been waiting outside the Bankaya Company for a few days, but since Tetsuo Kaneshiro was beaten, Bankaya has tightened its security and the employees basically go out in groups of three or two, making it difficult for him to find an opportunity again.

For this purpose, Kotaro Akiyama specially brought a weapon at home, a sharp wakizashi.

He intended to use this method to threaten Wan Gu until he repented.

Today, Kotaro Akiyama saw a guy coming out of Wangu Company alone.

This guy was also old and looked not much different from him. Seizing the opportunity, Kotaro Akiyama groped over and prepared to teach the other party a lesson.

Before he got close, Akiyama Kotaro let out a loud roar.

"Heaven punishes the national thief!"

He swung the wooden stick in his hand and hit it hard.

Nakajima Haruo was startled by the sudden shout. When he looked back, he was so scared that his soul flew to Takama-ga-hara.

Damn it! He's not even a Banku employee, he's just here to film Nelonga's scenes, why am I chasing him?

Fortunately, Nakajima Haruo was a suit actor, so he had thick skin and flesh. Although it hurt terribly when he was hit by a stick, he was still able to withstand it.

Frightened, Nakajima Haruo endured the pain, turned around and ran away, while Akiyama Kotaro chased him relentlessly, spouting words like "Eightfold Glory, Seven Lives to Serve the Country" that people didn't quite understand.

Seeing several people patrolling in front, Nakajima Haruo shouted for help several times, but Akiyama Kotaro was not afraid at all. Relying on the weapon in his arms, he still rushed forward.

"Okay, okay...you crazy guy."

The hard and soft boxing that Manatsu Ryu had practiced for many years finally came in handy. He crossed his arms, threw a punch, and hit directly on the wrist, knocking the wooden stick out of Akiyama Kotaro's hand.

When Manatsu Ryuu moved forward and was about to fight again, Akiyama Kotaro pulled out a wakizashi from his arms.

Although it was just a small knife, the sharp tip was still scary enough.

"Wow……"

Manatsu Ryu hurriedly dodged, breaking out in a cold sweat.

This guy, he actually carries a knife!

It's really crazy!
Akiyama Kotaro ignored everything and waved the wakizashi in his hand, his expression becoming more and more ferocious.

These traitorous insects! They actually filmed that kind of thing. They must be punished by heavenly punishment until they never dare to film again!
Manatsu Ryu was afraid of the blade and didn't dare to come forward. He was really worried. Nakajima Haruo ran even faster and had already avoided it from a distance.

Akiyama Kotaro's eyes widened and he shouted even louder.

"You bastards, dare you film something that betrays your country again? I'll beat you until you behave! Hey... hey! What are you doing? Aren't you afraid of death?"

Seeing that the tall and strong man next to Manatsu Ryu actually ignored the short knife in his hand and walked towards him quickly, Akiyama Kotaro frowned, but chopped him without hesitation.

What greeted Kotaro Akiyama was a powerful kick from a tall and long-legged man.

At that moment, Kotaro Akiyama heard a crisp click, as if something was broken.

The next moment, the man bumped into him and pushed forward with his shoulder. The brutal impact made Akiyama Kotaro feel as if he was hit head-on by a bull. He felt short of breath and died on the spot, falling into a faint.

Manatsu Ryu couldn't help but wipe his eyes.

fly……

It's flying!

That madman was like in a martial arts movie, he was really beaten and flew into the air!
Ten minutes later.

At the nearest police station in Shibuya, the police officer looked at Kotaro Akiyama in front of him in confusion.

"I say, was he hit by a truck?"

Zhen Xialong shook his head firmly: "No, I was beaten."

The police officer was unconvinced: "This guy must have been hit by a truck! His legs are broken!"

"No." Zhen Xialong said, "I was really beaten."

The police officer could only sigh: "You can't fool me. Even if you hate him, there's no need to hit him with your car!"

After the record was completed, the matter seemed to be resolved, but Zhen Xialong still couldn't help asking: "So what will this guy do?"

"What else can we do? Of course we give him a lesson and lock him up. You may not know this, but this guy is a repeat offender. He always reacts quickly and is always elusive. He'll pop out and spout some incomprehensible rhetoric, like dedicating seven lifetimes to serving the country..." The officer frowned, "A country that wants people to die should just be destroyed."

Now it is 1976. After several rounds of baptism, most Japanese do not have any particular spectral tendencies. They just want to live their lives in peace.

But occasionally there are still some special people.

For example, Kotaro Akiyama.

It was the first time that the Wangu staff knew that this guy was actually a repeat offender. Fortunately, he was caught this time and he probably wouldn't come out and cause trouble again for a long time.

After all, he looked like he had been hit by a truck.

……

……

On Saturday, at 7pm, the third episode of Ultraman will be screened on time.

Manatsu Ryu went home in the middle of the night to watch the recorded broadcast, Sachin was watching the live broadcast with the children in the store and selling soda at the same time, and Gu Ming was at Mantani Eiji's house, showing off his fandom while watching the third episode.

Everyone has their own future.

Before everything started, Eiji Mantani took another look at Tetsuo Kaneshiro.

Today, Tetsuo Kaneshiro was wearing a bandage and looked a little disheveled.

"Jincheng, what's wrong with you?" 'Uh...' Jincheng Tetsuo scratched his head secretly.

How can you say this!

Wangu Yiyi told everyone not to tell Wangu Yingji about what happened in the past few days.

Eiji Mantani was threatened when he was young. If he knew that there are still people like that now, he would probably be very angry.

Gu Ming spoke at the right time: "There was an accident on the set during the previous filming. The cable broke. Mr. Jincheng was accidentally injured when he went to observe."

Eiji Mantani nodded slightly, without asking any further questions, and just said, "Remember to replace the new steel cable," then turned off the lights and started watching TV.

The third episode of Ultraman laid the foundation for the style of the entire series. This episode fixed the routine of "discovering monsters", "searching for monsters" and "eliminating monsters". All subsequent episodes expanded on this basis, adding plots and so on.

On TV, Manatsu Ryuu introduced himself with a face full of excitement.

"I am Jingtian Kojuro Jinglong! Please don't go any further!"

"The ferocity of that monster is beyond your imagination!"

Several photos of the battle between Jingtian Jinglong and Neilongga quickly flashed across the screen, and Toshihiro Iijima created a nostalgic scene.

Eiji Mantani crossed his arms, looking somewhat interested.

Then, there is the classic scene where Ultraman uses his chest muscles to resist the electric shock and fights a big battle with Nelonga, and finally throws Nelonga out and destroys him.

After the playback was completed, Wang Ya Eiji nodded slightly.

Haruo Nakajima did not disappoint him, Nelonga’s performance was very good, worthy of the strength of the older generation of suit actors.

It would be even better if he could quit playing with the small steel balls.

The appearance of Jingtian Jinglong also made Wangu Eiji feel enlightened.

"A samurai who can fight off monsters is a great idea. We should never forget that humanity is the hope of the future. Even in a show like Ultraman, there should be a shining example of humanity. Humanity is not a weakling who can only sit there helplessly waiting for Ultraman to rescue us."

Eiji Mantani praised the idea.

Then he looked at a few people.

"So, whose idea was this?"

Masahiro Yamada raised his hand.

"its mine."

After a pause, he looked around and said, "Of course, there is also the help of Mr. Narita and Amin."

The humans fighting off the monsters were indeed Masahiro Yamada's idea, but the design of the samurai warriors came from Toru Narita, and the character design of this role came from Akira Tani.

Wan Gu Yingji looked at Gu Ming again.

Up to now, Gu Ming has made three suggestions during the filming, and the results seem to be good.

He's quite talented.

"This episode is so unique, I'm sure the ratings will be great too. You all did a great job."

Wangu Eiji praised him a few times, but then changed the subject: "Xiaoyi, come with me."

Wanguichi quickly said yes and left the room with Wangu Eiji.

Seeing the two people walking away, Narita Toru came over.

"Guess what Daddy Wangu will say to Xiaoyi?"

Gu Ming shrugged. "How would I know that? But it's probably just some private experiences or words of praise."

After all, although Wanguyi did not participate in the filming of these episodes, he did a lot of logistical work.

After drinking too much tea, Gu Ming felt a little urgent to urinate, so he stood up, said sorry, and prepared to go to the bathroom.

When he came out of the bathroom, although it was unintentional, Gu Ming still heard the conversation between Mantani Eiji and Mantani Ichi in the next room.

"Why are you hiding this from me?"

"No, I didn't..."

"Xiaoyi, I'm just old, not blind!"

"Father, I'm sorry..."

Gu Ming's heart moved slightly.

It seems that Eiji Mantani still knows what happened recently.

Wan Guyi hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke.

"However, the matter has been resolved and the guy has been caught. He won't come back to cause trouble again."

However, Mantani Eiji sighed deeply, his disappointment evident in his words.

Although Gu Ming couldn't see over there, he could imagine the expression on Wan Gu Eiji's face at that moment.

"Xiaoyi, you still don't understand. I've lived for so long, I've seen all sorts of things. Do you think such a small thing can scare me? Could it be worse than when they put a gun to my head decades ago? If I were afraid of such things, then Wan Gu wouldn't be Wan Gu anymore! You always worry about these little things."

What followed was Wan Gu's repeated "yes" and "sorry".

What followed was all of Mantani Eiji's earnest instructions to Mantani Ichi, but Gu Ming stopped listening and returned to the Japanese-style room where the party was held.

"What took you so long, A-Ming? Are you feeling unwell?"

Narita Toru jokingly said, "Look, let's take a look at the script for episode four."

Gu Ming responded with a smile on his face, blending in with the other creators and concentrating on the script for the fourth episode.

It seems that no one needs to worry about the old man, Eiji Mantani.
