Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 49: Bath, Idiot, Pigmon

In the evening, at a bathhouse in a small alley in Shibuya.

Several people were soaking in the bathtub, their skin reddened by the scalding water.

Teruo Aragaki had a towel covering his head, his hands resting on the pool wall, and he was drowsy.

Hot springs, hot springs, and so on, the Japanese have a special love for bathing.

Wang Gu sat cross-legged on the side and said casually: "Manatsu Ryu-kun, you performed well in the end today. I didn't expect that you could adapt to the identity of a monster so quickly."

Manatsu Ryuu scratched his head sheepishly, giving his signature silly smile: "Actually, I didn't understand it at first, it was Furuya-san who told me."

Gu Ming shook his head: "I didn't tell you that. It was actually Aragaki-kun's idea. I just changed the way I said it."

Wan Guyi could only shake his head: "You guys should stop pushing each other around. Anyway, it's a good thing that filming went so smoothly today. I have a feeling that this episode should be able to wash away the previous slump, and maybe even return to the level of the first episode!"

Gu Ming nodded.

That would be the best.

Wanguyi said, "Speaking of which, if the investigation in this episode goes as expected, Manatsu Ryu-kun, Wangu may sign a temporary employment contract with you and invite you to continue playing Pigmon in the next episode. Speaking of which, I'm really sorry. You should be playing a real role with your skills, just like Jingtian Jinglong before. I'm really sorry to have to let you play a suit."

Manatsu Ryuu didn't care whether it was a suit or a real person, she was just grateful for the chance to film. Furthermore, it was in such a popular drama.

Even if he is a suit actor, it is still a qualification!

The business compliments soon ended, and everyone just soaked in the pool water without saying anything.

After a while, Gu Ming, with a towel on his head, said softly, "It's a pity that Kurobe-kun has something to do today and can't come with us."

Wang Yayi laughed and said, "Of course he won't come. I heard that Mr. Kurobe Susumu is in love recently!"

In an instant, several men looked at Wan Guyi.

Men also like gossip!

Wang Yayi explained, "It's quite remarkable. That Ms. 'Maki' is the daughter of a senior Toho employee. She has always been a fan of Mr. Kurobe Susumu's work, and this time the two of them just went along with it."

Gu Mingdun suddenly understood.

That's it!

After Kurobe Susumu got married, he gave birth to a daughter, Yoshimoto Takami, who is Team Member Lina in Ultraman Tiga.

In the Ultraman Super 8 movie, Lina's father is Hayata Susumu.

This is because the two actors are actually father and daughter in real life.

The name 'Ultra Father-in-law' of the first Ultraman was also established because of this.

Of course, Kurobe Susumu is his stage name, his real name is Yoshimoto Takashi, so his daughter is named Yoshimoto Takami instead of Kurobe Takami.

Thanks to this, Manatsu Ryu was able to feast his ears and hear some very interesting stories.

After soaking for a long time, Wan Guyi suddenly stood up, raised his hand, and tied the belt around his waist.

"I'm going to the steam room! The first one out who can't hold on is an idiot!"

Gu Ming caught up instantly, and relying on his good skills, he ran ahead of Wan Guyi in two or three steps.

"Then let me put it another way. The last one to go in is an idiot!"

Zhen Xialong was stunned, and quickly jumped out by grabbing Chi Bi with both hands.

People who practice martial arts are light and nimble and have quick reactions!

"I'm not a fool!"

He shouted and chased after him.

In the end, only Teruo Aragaki took off the towel on his head and was confused for a moment.

Alas, no.

You all run so fast, then what am I?
Oh.

It turns out I am a fool!

……

……

1976 8 Month 14 Day.

Ultraman Episode 8, 'Monster Lawless Zone', will be released at 7pm.

Two thousand monsters from all over the world rioted at the same time!
The crisis on Tatara Island is about to begin!
The biggest and most ferocious monster ever!

King Red tears monsters apart with his bare hands!

Such eye-catching words really make people unable to look away.

Unfortunately, Manatsu Ryu was performing in a bar, so we couldn't see her live.

"Damn it, there's a role for me."

Manatsu Ryu was a little sad. He couldn't even see the character he played firsthand.

At this moment, Manatsu Ryuu was looking forward to seeing the reaction to the eighth episode more than ever before.

After all, if the response is good, he will have a representative role in the future.

There are also many benefits when applying for a job.

Although the qualification of 'playing the role of the rare space beast Pigumon in Ultraman' sounds a bit inferior, but, that is Ultraman with a 40% audience rating!

It's not shameful!

……

……

Shinjuku, convenience store.

Shaqin is watching episode eight with the children.

The monkey-like Xiaoji refused to sit quietly on the small stool. Instead, he squatted aside, put the soda on the small stool, rested his front teeth on the mouth of the soda bottle, and occasionally took a sip of the drink.

"Ultraman will destroy the monster soon anyway!"

Xiaoji swore this.

No one paid any attention to him; everyone was focused on reading the eighth episode.

The monster riot and the disappearance of the exploration team on Todor Island, each of these things made these children feel nervous.

Xiaoji repeated it, tapping the soda bottle with his front teeth.

"Ultraman will destroy the monster soon anyway!"

Still no one paid attention to him.

Soon, the members of Team Kot arrived at Tatara Island in the Vito.

Here, the scene changes, and in the suspenseful atmosphere created by Wanguyi, everyone finally sees the lineup of Red King.

Xiaoji stopped talking and looked at the monster intently.

As soon as he appeared, King Red defeated the monster Chandra in front of him, tore off its wings, and beat it to death with extremely cruel means.

"Amazing!"

Xiaoji opened his eyes wide.

But, it's so ugly!

This monster is so ugly!

Just when everyone thought that Hayata Jin was going to take out the big stick to kill Red King, an accident suddenly happened. Uncle Hayata Jin accidentally lost his big stick and had to work hard to catch the β magic stick in the cracks of the rocks.

On the other side, Qiuzi and other team members also heard strange noises during their exploration.

Team member Qiuzi, who went to investigate, suddenly slipped and fell to the ground.

"It hurts..."

Qiuzi wanted to stand up, but suddenly a big face appeared on the screen.

The baby has a sausage mouth and is red all over. He looks ugly but surprisingly cute.

The rare beast in the universe, Pigumon!

Under the rendering of the color TV in the convenience store, Pigumon's appearance appeared so clear.

"Monster!"

Just when Xiaoji was feeling a little worried, Pigumeng was already dancing and screaming with the Qiuzi team members.

Soon, Pigumon's clumsiness becomes apparent, and the only remaining team member recounts his experience, with Pigumon bringing him fruit.

Originally, he was holding more than a dozen fruits, but Pigumong dropped them as he walked, and when he delivered them to the exploration team, only one fruit was left.

The jumping Pigumong didn't even understand what was happening. Why was there only one fruit left out of the dozen or so?

So Pigumong raised his little paw and scratched his head, looking both silly and cute.

"Piggumon!"

Xiaoji suddenly stood up and shouted, "I want Pigumon!"

Xiaoji's mother came over and slapped him on the head, then pushed him down.

"No Pigmon, only fists! If you don't watch TV properly, I won't bring you next week!"

Xiaoji felt aggrieved.

But he really wanted a Pigmon!
