Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 48: Spirit Points, Manxia Long

After Gu Ming's revision, the plot of this episode has undergone some changes. Four members of the exploration team disappeared on Tadara Island, and one of them survived with the help of Pigmon.

Gu Ming also specifically asked Tetsuo Kaneshiro to add some characterization to Pigmon. For example, although Pigmon was very enthusiastic, he was a clumsy little monster. He brought a lot of fruits, but after handing them over to the exploration team members, only one or two were left, and the rest were lost on the way.

Although Pigmon wanted to seek help from Team Kurt, because he was a monster, he scared Team Akiko instead.

In short, the goal is to portray Pigmon as a warm-hearted but clumsy person.

What we are going to film now is that Pigumeng accidentally scared team member Qiuzi, and he himself felt scared so he hid, but ended up not caring about the consequences.

There are many trees and rocks on the sand table on the set, making it look like a wild environment.

Team member Akiko and others were holding Team Kurt's beam guns and carefully exploring the jungle. Team member Akiko slipped and fell down. Pigumon came closer and tried to help her up, and a big face suddenly appeared in front of Team member Akiko.

Following a cry, the two of them trembled their hands and feet and screamed loudly, creating a happy and relaxed scene.

"Wow!!"

Team member Akiko screamed, and Manatsu Ryu's hands and feet were shaking at this moment.

"stop!"

Wan Guyi suddenly called a halt and called team member Qiuzi.

"Why are you looking so high? Pigmon is just a monster the same size as you, not some giant one!"

"Ah... I'm so sorry." Team member Akiko saluted.

During normal filming, we always pretended to encounter a giant beast, but this time it was a little guy, and it took me a while to get used to it!

Wan Guyi didn't say anything else, just waved his hand to signal the filming to continue.

But soon, Wan Guyi started to call for a halt again.

"Piggumon? Piggumon!"

After being called twice, Manatsu Ryu finally reacted and trotted to Wanguichi.

"You still have some problems. First of all, you're a monster, not a human! Your attitude is wrong. You were going to help her, but because your appearance scared her, you felt guilty. You didn't mean to beat her up, so why did you act like you were going to kill her!"

Manatsu Ryu quickly nodded in agreement, constantly saying sorry.

As he spoke, Manatsu Ryuu felt a little sigh in his heart.

Don’t be fooled by Wan Guyi’s usual appearance of a good man, but if you step on his landmines, it will be very difficult to deal with!

Wan Guyi’s landmine, of course, is the mistakes made by the actors during filming.

In a blink of an eye, the filming continued and the two continued their scenes of scaring each other.

But soon, Wan Guyi frowned again.

"Stop! Pigmon, there's something wrong with you. You need to think about your identity!"

Film was expensive, so Wanguyi simply gave the order: "Think clearly about how you want to act first, and continue filming everyone else's scenes here."

Manatsu Ryuu was at a loss, feeling a little aggrieved, but also filled with an inexplicable fighting spirit.

hateful.

He really tried hard! Why couldn't it work?

Gu Ming was standing outside the field and could see it clearly.

Teruo Aragaki laughed and said, "It's just a simple question. I'm not used to the suit yet, so I can't really act like a monster during the performance."

Gu Ming nodded and asked Aragaki Teruo, "So what do you think?" "What else can I think? Of course, I'll act differently." Aragaki Teruo said, gesturing with his arms a few times. Although he didn't have a holster, he still looked clumsy, with both hands held in front of his chest and jumping up and down.

This clumsy look is really lifelike.

Gu Ming couldn't help but applaud when he saw it: "Aragaki-kun is worthy of being the monster suit actor valued by Wan Gu. His skills are very outstanding."

Aragaki Teruo laughed and said, "No, no, it's Furuya-kun! His strength is so amazing!"

The two of them exchanged business boasts for a while, and Gu Ming suddenly changed the subject: "How about Araki-kun go and give some guidance?"

"Me? Forget it." Aragaki Teruo shook his head and refused, but he didn't completely reject it. He explained to Gu Ming: "Furuya-kun and he know each other, right? It would be more effective if Furuya-kun said this. If I say it, it will inevitably be misunderstood."

Gu Ming couldn't help but shake his head and laugh.

He is a smart man.

Gu Ming took the initiative to walk towards Zhen Xialong. At this moment, Zhen Xialong was sitting alone outside the field to rest, with confusion in his eyes.

Manatsu Ryuu thought he really tried his best, but for some reason it just wasn't right.

Noticing Gu Ming approaching, Zhen Xialong stood up and said, "Brother Furuya, um, I'm so sorry. I didn't expect that I couldn't act well."

As he spoke, Manatsu Ryu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "At first, I thought it was just the suit that was a little difficult. After watching you and Mr. Aragaki Teruo perform, I thought it was nothing special. I didn't expect it to be so difficult."

Gu Ming said, "That's nothing. After all, it's not that easy to play a monster."

He pulled Zhen Xialong to sit down and explained, "Do you know where your problem lies? You haven't gotten used to your identity as a monster. You've learned boxing and are agile, which is good, but now that you're a monster, you need to adopt a different posture than humans. You can't be afraid to show your clumsiness; you must be brave enough to act foolish."

As Gu Ming spoke, he remembered the posture of Teruo Aragaki just now.

Gu Ming stood up and imitated Teruo Aragaki, jumping and hopping on his feet, and stroking his chest with his hands like a disabled patient, with an expression that looked like he had the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis.

As he was jumping, an idea suddenly came to him. Gu Ming changed his pace and rarely paused after jumping two steps. He looked like he couldn't walk properly. Occasionally he stopped to look around, but he didn't look carefully. Instead, he looked like he was shaking his head.

Manatsu Ryu couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

Then, he suddenly reacted.

"Ohhh!!! So that's how it is! Not as a human, but as a monster. I think I understand!"

As a monster, it's okay if the performance is a little exaggerated.

Because he is a fool now!

Manxia Long put on the leather suit of Pigumon, imitated Gu Ming's movements, and tried to modify his previous performance.

Gu Mingze spoke briefly and gave a few instructions, and modified a few movements.

Manatsu Ryuu nodded repeatedly, revising his movements.

Wang Guyi had just finished filming a scene and happened to look over and saw Manatsu Ryu jumping around under the guidance of Gu Ming. This scene seemed a bit funny, but it made Wang Guyi feel amazed.

Now he really looks like Pigumong, stupid and silly.

"I didn't expect that Furuya-kun could do such a good job of telling a play."

Wan Gu crossed his arms, somewhat amazed.

Those who can act may not be able to speak, and those who can speak may not be able to act.

There are very few people who can do both.

From this point of view, Gu Ming is simply the all-rounder!
