I took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Takato in Kyoto. It was already evening when I arrived. After staying at a small hotel near the station for one night, early the next morning I arrived at the address where Toyama Kazuba came from - Kyoto Tai.
Volume photography studio.
This is a specially built complex of retro buildings that imitates the old streets of Kyoto, with classical Japanese-style buildings everywhere.
Here, you can see crew members everywhere, including actors wearing retro samurai uniforms, staff with cameras, and various crew members. In such a large photography base, there is more than one crew.
Filmed here.
Walking into the photography studio, Gao Yuan began to look around for the location of the crew mentioned by Toyama Kazuye based on the map, but after going through various streets turning left and right, Gao Yuan felt as if he had lost his way.
Feeling a little helpless, Gao Yuan thought about asking someone first.
When passing by a house, he heard the sound of someone inside, so Gao Yuan planned to go in and ask for directions.
"Who sent this kind of thing!"
Suddenly, before he reached the entrance of the house, Gao Yuan heard a man's angry voice coming from inside the house, followed by the sound of crumbling paper.
"I'm just trying to make people angry. He must be an admirer of Momoka."
Then, a female voice with a calm tone answered.
"This is done in the background. It should usually be done by insiders."
The original male voice continued, "Damn it, you are jealous of my popularity!"
Afterwards, it was quiet for a while, and then the woman's voice sounded again:
"do not do that."
The tone seemed a little resistant, "We're done!"
"I'm very uneasy! That's okay."
The man spoke out.
"wait……"
The woman's voice struggled a little, and then she didn't know what happened, and her tone became calm again:
"Ryoma has a Liang, right?"
"I told you, don't worry about women like Tao Xiang."
The man answered with a disdainful tone, "That kind of woman is just dating her for the sake of fame."
Then after a pause, the man said solemnly: "To me, you are the one..."
Hearing this, Gao Yuan had already walked to the door of the room. At a glance, he could directly see a man and a woman kissing at the door of the room.
The man has disheveled hair and is wearing a black classical Japanese robe, while the woman has a classic hairstyle and a red kimono. They all look like actors, and they should be wearing costumes.
Seeing such a scene, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but there was no cameraman or camera nearby. So what he just heard was not a line?
"What are you doing! I was still thinking about why you have been so lukewarm to me recently. Sure enough, you are having an affair with your ex-girlfriend!"
Gao Yuan was about to leave when suddenly a woman in a purple kimono walked out of the house and interrupted the two people who were kissing. Her tone sounded very angry.
"Do you know who gave you this opportunity today?"
The woman in purple continued. The man seemed a little embarrassed by what he said and sat down between the two women.
"If you try to do this, I'm going to screw this movie up!"
Still angry, the woman in purple threatened, "Remember this!"
With that said, he turned around and went out. Seeing the woman's attitude, Gao Yuan did not dare to go up and ask for directions. But inside the house, the woman in red stepped forward to comfort the man: "Hey, hurry up and chase him!"
"Why?"
The man said unconvinced.
"Maybe she really wants to mess up the movie. I don't want that. Even if it's a small role, I have to play her well if I get it."
Hearing what the woman in red said, the man picked up the script on the side and handed it to the woman.
"I know, I'll just go!"
With that said, the man got up and chased the woman in purple. Watching the man leave, the woman in red showed a look of grievance, then sighed helplessly, and then walked out.
"Sorry to disturb you."
Gao Yuan stepped forward at this time, walked up to the woman in red, and said with some embarrassment, "I didn't mean it, I just wanted to ask, where is the location of the costume movie "Ryoma's Holiday"? I seem to be lost."
"This is it."
With a smile, the woman in red replied politely, and then left without saying anything more. However, during the walk, an amulet on the woman fell to the ground. Gao Yuan reminded her, and the woman thanked her.
With a cry, he picked up the amulet and continued to walk away.
Although Gao Yuan was a little confused about this, he didn't pay much attention to it. He continued to walk into the house and saw a huge indoor set that had been built.
Here is a huge indoor space, with an exterior scene and a house view. Many staff are still decorating here. And around the periphery of the set, various props are placed.
After looking around here, Gao Yuan felt a little emotional. This was his first time in such a place.
"careful!"
Suddenly, a voice sounded from nearby. Gao Yuan could tell that it was Hattori Heiji's voice, but he was still a little confused. It wasn't until Gao Yuan saw a flash of sword light suddenly flying towards him that Gao Yuan realized what was going on -
—
A samurai sword is flying towards me!
Although I don't know if it is a prop or a real bladed knife, just by the light of the spatula, I can confirm that the blade is made of metal.
Faced with this situation, Gao Yuan looked calm and waited for the sword to fly. Then he stretched out his right hand, straightened his fingers, pinched the blade of the flying katana directly with his thumb and four fingers, and then lifted the sword.
He threw it upward and grabbed the handle of the knife with his right hand.
A set of operations was smooth and smooth, and he completely grasped the flying katana in his hand in one fell swoop - perhaps because of the effect of "Ace of Swords", Gao Yuan felt that he had completed the whole process very smoothly.
"Ouch! I'm so sorry!"
At this time, a man came from outside the door of the room where the scene was set and apologized to Gao Yuan, but there was not much apology in his tone.
Taking a closer look, Gao Yuan was a little surprised, because the other person turned out to be Mouri Kogoro wearing a dark gray samurai uniform!
"As soon as I swung the knife, my hand slipped accidentally."
Mouri Kogoro didn't notice Gao Yuan, walked up and took the katana in Gao Yuan's hand, and then laughed awkwardly——
"Uncle, I've told you so many times, if you can't hold the knife well..."
At this time, from outside the door of another set room, Hattori Heiji came over and said, and was a little surprised to see Gao Yuan here, "Detective brother?"
At this time, Hattori Heiji was wearing a samurai uniform, but unlike Mouri Kogoro, it was a blue haori draped outside and a white ribbon around his head.
"Mr. Akechi! You are here!"
At this time, Toyama and Ye also followed Hattori Heiji, wearing school uniforms and a plaid coat, saying hello to Takato.
"Hattori-san, Toyama-san, long time no see."
Gao Yuan responded.
"What's wrong? Do you know each other?"
Seeing this, Mouri Kogoro asked unexpectedly.
"We have solved cases together before."
Gao Yuan explained.
"But I really didn't expect that besides being good at reasoning, the little detective was also very good at taking the knife just now!"
