Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 71 I haven't been the big brother for many years

After finishing today's filming, Gu Ming and several familiar actors walked towards the gate of Wangu together.

"Come to think of it, we're running low on manpower again lately," Aragaki Teruo muttered, "so both sides have to borrow people from each other all the time."

Especially when filming, Akio Jissoji made slow progress and liked to fiddle with props, causing dozens of people to stop and wait for him.

Although the quality of the finished film was very good, the progress was greatly slowed down, so that the special effects team and the human team had to borrow people from each other.

Koichi Takano gets annoyed every time.

We keep borrowing people from the special effects team. If this continues, how long will the filming progress be delayed?

Gu Ming had no good solution for this.

Copying a script is fine, but asking him to mess with people?
This is too difficult for him.

It is already very impressive that Gu Ming can now write a few scripts to relieve the pressure on the planning department. It is impossible for him to bear all the work alone. If that is the case, Wan Gu might as well change his name to Gu Gu.

"Speaking of which," Manatsu Ryu said, "You've all watched the previous episodes, right? That screenwriter, Gen Urobuchi, seems to be a newcomer. I don't know who he is, so it's really hard to guess."

Gu Ming coughed lightly.

Yeah, who is this screenwriter? It's so hard to guess!
Furuya Akira, who did not want to reveal his name, was quite proud for a moment.

As they turned the corner, Manatsu Ryuu and Aragaki Teruo suddenly stopped.

"what happened?"

Gu Ming took a few quick steps and saw clearly what was happening on the other side of the alley. Then he fell silent.

It was as if some dark cloud was covering the sky, and the atmosphere became depressing in an instant.

More than a dozen motorcycles were lined up on both sides, and Yakuzas with crew cuts were squatting on the side of the road.

And among them was an acquaintance, none other than Tatsumi Nijima.

But this time, Tatsumi Nijima did not wear that suit. Instead, he changed into a martial arts uniform, tying up the openings of his hands and feet with belts, making him look short.

Gu Ming secretly clenched his palms.

The person who came here is not kind!

Oh, no, he is the one coming.

"Hey, you're finally here."

Tatsumi Nijima stood up from his squatting position and nodded slightly as a greeting.

"I'm Tatsumi Nijima, and I've come here especially for you."

Following his finger, it was Gu Ming.

Manatsu Ryu rolled up his sleeves, a little annoyed.

"You bastards are still here, aren't you? I'll teach you a lesson..."

Gu Ming held down the agitated Manatsu Ryu and stared at Nijima Tatsumi.

"This is Shibuya, one of the busiest areas in Tokyo. If you fight here, the police will be called in soon. You don't want to cause trouble here, do you?"

However, Tatsumi Nijima shook his head and gave an unexpected answer.

"I'm no longer a member of the Okayama Group."

Nishima Tatsumi said, "Today, I'm not here as a cadre of the Okayama Clan! I'm here as an old friend of Yamanaka! Yamanaka was captured because he betrayed his integrity, causing the Okayama Clan to lose face and their elite members to be decimated. I failed to take good care of everyone, so naturally, I can't face seeing Father Okayama again."

"However, 'the name of benevolence and righteousness is worth a thousand gold'! Even if Yamanaka betrays benevolence and righteousness, he will eventually fall into your hands. Adhering to the principles of righteousness, I, Nijima Tatsumi, will avenge Yamanaka today!"

The tip of his finger pointed at Gu Ming from afar.

"I want to duel with you."

The half-spoken words made Aragaki Teruo and Manatsu Ryuu silent for a moment.

Gu Ming didn't expect that Tatsumi Nijima would actually say such a thing.

"Is it that old-school Yakuza?"

Gu Ming then looked directly at Nijima Tatsumi.

Since you want to fight, then let’s do it!
The two of them had already taken their positions and asked everyone else to stay away.

Aragaki Teruo secretly clenched his palms, feeling a little nervous. "Along, what do you think?"

"This Nijima Tatsumi is also a Goju-ryu warrior. He seems... much more powerful than me."

Just by looking at that pace, Zhen Xialong could already feel the huge gap.

Before the words were finished, the battle had already begun.

Gu Ming stepped forward, clasped his palms together, and seemed to be about to punch, but his right foot actually kicked out a very concealed side kick.

Tatsumi Nijima did not dodge at all and tried to hold on. In just a short moment, countless thoughts emerged in his mind.

For example, his feet were like two doors, and he relied entirely on his hands to strike; for example, how to deal with such a hidden side kick, for example, as long as he exerted force on his limbs and launched a counterattack while Gu Ming was unstable, a single palm strike could easily end the fight...

However, these thoughts flashed through his mind, and when the kick actually landed on him, in just a moment, all the thoughts disappeared.

At that moment, Nijima Tatsumi seemed to have an illusion, that is, his calf seemed to be kicked off on the spot, and the bones were broken and about to stick out from the muscles.

Just this one kick had him half-kneeling on the ground, sweat starting to appear on his forehead, his calves numb, and he could hardly feel the existence of that limb.

"How on earth...how can there be such a terrifying power!?"

He opened his eyes and saw a fist pointed at his throat.

The punch didn't land, but Tatsumi Nijima let out a long sigh.

"I lost."

Turning around and looking at those young Yakuza who looked as sad as if the sky had fallen, Nijima Tatsumi supported himself to stand up and adjusted his collar.

"Then I admit defeat. From now on, you will never see anyone from the Okayama Group again."

The voices of the young Yakuza rose one after another.

"Big brother!"

"Brother Nidao..."

Faced with the constant voices of the young Yakuza, Tatsumi Nijima simply waved his hand.

"Alright, I'm no longer a member of the Okayama Group, and you don't have to call me 'Big Brother' anymore. From now on, do whatever you want. But don't be a Yakuza anymore."

"Ah, and one more thing. Nijima Tatsumi is the name given to me by Okayama Daddy. Now that I've left the Okayama Group, I should also abandon this old name."

Tatsumi Nijima looked directly at Gu Ming, but bowed.

"Please remember, my real name is 'Nijiamoto Tatsumi'."

He just turned around and limped away.

The young Yakuza did not chase after him, but they did not move either. They just looked at Niemoto Tatsumi in the same confusion as he left.

Gu Ming frowned slightly.

Niemoto Tatsumi, I always feel like I have heard the name somewhere before.

He looked at Zhen Xialong. Although he couldn't remember it at the moment, this name seemed to have some connection with Zhen Xialong.

Gu Ming withdrew his gaze and turned to the young Yakuza, while they looked back at Gu Ming with confused eyes.

"Don't look at me like that," Gu Ming said. "You heard what your eldest brother said. From now on, go do whatever you want. You're no longer part of the Okayama Group. As for him, I didn't really hurt him. His leg will heal in a few days. I believe you will see him again."

This time the young Yakuza finally responded.

After staring at Gu Ming again and again, several people randomly got on their motorcycles and sped away.

It was not until this moment that Teruo Aragaki breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's so scary! I thought there was going to be a big fight here! I'm just a suit actor, I don't have that kind of skills."

Gu Ming just shook his head secretly.

No wonder someone has been staring at him these days, it turns out it was this group of young Yakuza.

"It's over. Don't think too much about it. Let's go back first."

Gu Ming urged them on, and several people boarded the tram and left separately, as if what had just happened had not happened.
