Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 75 Dr. Pill

The next day, outside the Wangu Company, the children and their parents had already gathered, just waiting for Wangu to open the door.

Gu Ming took the application form and checked the names one by one.

You have to pay to register. If you don't serve the children well, they will get angry. Once they get angry, no one can save them except Ultraman.

Among the children, who are all six or seven years old, the twelve-year-old Yakushimaru Hiroko stands out from the crowd, with a height of 1.5 meters.

——Decades later, she is still 1.5 meters tall, her height fixed.

She came with her parents this time, but she didn't expect to have to wait so long.

Originally, of course, she didn't want to watch Ultraman. It was such a childish thing that only a six-year-old child would like.

And she is already an adult with independent thinking ability!
But the last visit of Saria and her group from Minato Ward changed Yakushimaru Hiroko's mind.

It turns out that there really are heroes in this world!
Ultraman can really fight dozens of people alone!

Especially according to later news reports, it turned out that the Yakuza at the scene were actually real Yakuza, who took advantage of the opening to cause trouble. Fortunately, the host and actors cooperated to resolve the danger.

It was only from then on that she started watching Ultraman with her mother.

Sometimes, Yakushimaru's father would sit down and watch together, occasionally commenting and explaining the plot that people didn't quite understand, as well as the use of camera shots.

Yakushimaru's father is a stage play director and has a good relationship with TBS. He is also a cadre of the Japanese Buddhist Home Meditation Association and knows a lot of people.

——Later, it was thanks to this relationship that Hiroko Yakushimaru was able to co-star in a film with Ken Takakura at the age of thirteen, and in the same year, she participated in TBS's self-produced drama and the commercial film shot by Akio Jissoji for Shiseido.

Because her father is also a very capable person, the ignorant Yakushimaru Hiroko was able to understand. It turns out that behind the seemingly simple monster-killing, there is actually such a profound plot hidden.

Yakushimaru Hiroko looked down at the children and felt a sense of superiority.

Alas! I can understand the plot, but you guys can’t!
She looked at the two people in front of her who should be Wangu employees.

The man is tall and strong, while the woman is delicate and gentle.

Yakushimaru Hiroko didn't like the fact that she had to look up to see the male staff, but the female staff looked very nice and made people want to get close to her.

The man is of course Gu Ming, and the woman is Shaqin.

Gu Ming turned a page in the notebook and began to call the roll.

"Kinoshita Yoshi!"

Yakushimaru Hiroko saw a little monkey-like boy in front of him raising his hands and jumping around.

Gu Ming drew a line and continued to call the roll.

"Dr. Pill-Pill, who is Kid Pill-Pill?"

Yakushimaru Hiroko instantly raised her little round face.

Are you calling her? I think so.

Shaqin took the list and looked at it, and instantly revealed an indescribable expression.

"Furuya-kun, you didn't sleep well last night, did you? Don't get dazed when you call out the name. This name is 'Yakushimaru Hiroko'."

Gu Ming paused, took it and looked at it for a while, then he said "oh" and suddenly realized.

"Yao Wanzi...Yao Shi Wan little friend."

Yakushimaru Hiroko's expression suddenly became complicated.

This male employee is so bad! He actually pronounced his name wrong!
It's clearly five pure Japanese kanji characters: Yakushimaru Hiroko. How could it be pronounced as "Yakushimaru Boshi"?

But that sister is different. She looks gentle and amiable, and you can tell at first glance that she is a good person.

I like my sister, not my brother!

Gu Ming coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.

"Well, Pill Boy...that's unexpected."

Gu Ming clapped his hands.

Ugh!
Like a magic trick, a candy ball appeared in his hand. He handed it to Shaqin, who came over, peeled off the candy wrapper, and handed it to the pharmacist Maru Hiroko.

Saqin half-knelt down and looked straight into Yakushimaru Hiroko's eyes.

"This is my brother's apology. Are you willing to accept it?"

Yakushimaru Hiroko pursed her lips. She could see through the clumsy trick of using magic tricks. It was clearly candy hidden in the sleeve. Only a fool would believe it!
Xiaoji in front suddenly jumped up and said, "Great! I want some candy too!"

Yakushimaru Hiroko looked at the little monkey in the front row and was speechless.

There are actually people who believe it!
She wanted to say no, but a hand was placed on her shoulder from behind.

Yakushimaru's father squatted down slightly and leaned close to her ear.

"Since uncle has already apologized, please forgive him."

Gu Ming said, "Brother."

Yakushimaru Hiroko pouted and said, "Then I forgive you, uncle."

Gu Ming sighed.

He has been promoted to uncle.

He waved his hand slightly and continued to call the roll, making sure that all the visitors were present before inviting everyone in. He walked in front with Shaqin, explaining as he walked, with a dozen children following closely behind them.

It was winter, and everyone was dressed very warmly. They walked unsteadily, just like two big ducks with a brood of ducklings.

Although the core things of Wangu cannot be displayed, some external things do not matter, and Gu Ming occasionally stops to explain them.

For example, the turntable scene in Ultraman’s opening scene was actually made by mixing paints and then photographing the rotating scene.

The pigments were created by Toru Narita with great effort, and it is not easy to create that layered effect.

For example, the sky in the Wan Gu scene is extremely realistic. When you first see it, you would hardly think that it is a studio rather than a real scene.

This color is also the contribution of Narita Toru, and is called "Mangoku color". Relying on this method to create an indistinguishable sky is one of Mangoku's unique skills.

The last part was naturally a simple performance. The weather was very cold, so forget about the stage play. Gu Ming just put on a leather suit and ran out to jump around. Even so, the children were still so excited that they were speechless.

Living Ultraman!
There are really Ultraman!

After Gu Ming made a few simple movements, he walked up to the children and half-knelt down.

"Everyone likes Ultraman so much, do you want to actually participate in an Ultraman performance?"

There was a loud bang, and the atmosphere really exploded.

You spend money to buy tickets to see Ultraman, and you also spend money to buy toys and watch the show. Who doesn’t like it!
Gu Ming nodded pretentiously and said, "Then, let's choose a lucky child to participate in the next episode!"

After all, it is the New Year holiday, and the children have time to participate in the performance.

Gu Ming stood up and pointed casually.

Yakushimaru Hiroko blinked.

Wouldn't it be her? Of course it had to be her, after all, she was the oldest and most mature!
However, even if she was chosen, she would not go, because that person called her name wrong.

While this thought was still lingering in his mind, Gu Ming had already selected a lucky child.

"You'll be the one to participate in the next episode, what do you say?"

Yakushimaru Hiroko took a closer look and looked in the direction of the finger.

well! !

It’s not her!
Yakushimaru Hiroko found it incredible.

Why not her!

Although she didn't really want to participate, why not her!

When his name was called, Xiaoji jumped up instantly, scratching his ears and cheeks, looking more and more like a monkey.

As soon as she saw him, Yakushimaru Hiroko felt even more unbalanced.

This kid looks like a monkey, how can he act in a work!

And ah.

Why not her!!!
