Inside the factory,
As the last name was called out,
Lin Feng briefly glanced at all the faces, then stepped down from the stage.
He gave them a friendly wave, down-to-earth and approachable,
"Feel free to take a seat. Next up is the script discussion. The content is quite extensive, so I'll have the copies distributed to each of you. Take your time reading and feel free to discuss amongst yourselves."
At this moment,
武田 Rena hesitantly raised her hand,
"Boss, are you really going to have us film?"
Lin Feng smiled and countered,
"Why? Do you think it's not official enough?"
武田 Rena immediately blushed, shaking her head repeatedly,
"No, no, I mean… this is the first time I've seen a boss personally involved and taking care of us. It's a bit overwhelming."
Which film company's boss would personally get involved and discuss the script with you in such a down-to-earth way?
Even if it shows the boss's high regard for this script,
What about the director? The screenwriter?
The team isn't complete.
"I know what you're thinking. Your doubts will be answered after you read the script."
As he spoke,
Lin Feng distributed all the script copies.
When the actors flipped to the first page and saw the names and the staff list below,
They all widened their eyes and froze.
"The director is… Lin Feng? That name sounds familiar."
"Ah?! Lin Feng is our boss!"
"What?! But the screenwriter is his name too!"
"More than that! Keep reading, everything except distribution is under the boss's name!"
The distributor's name must be Dongriyang Company,
But it's essentially the same, equivalent to Lin Feng.
But taking on all these roles by himself,
Is that really how a legitimate film should be made?
Lin Feng remained composed, waving his hand at them,
"Continue reading."
They looked at each other in disbelief,
Half-believing, they flipped to the actual story.
As a string of suspenseful words filled their eyes,
Everyone who had doubts before was completely captivated by the story!
In the script, Lin Feng
Wrote the first season of Amazons as detailed and understandable as possible,
All the settings, like what is Amazon, what is Kamen Rider, what is the Driver, etc.,
Were all plainly written on the script.
"Ah?!"
Suddenly, a scream came from Higashi-A Asia,
Her face was pale, and the script in her hand almost dropped to the ground.
"The, the monster in there… it eats people?!"
"Eat people? Is it what I think it is?"
"Damn… it really does! And the scene is so bloody!"
"Where? Where? Let me see!"
"..."
Because of Higashi-A Asia's scream,
Everyone who was initially drawn to the early suspense,
Immediately flipped to the back, eager to explore the core and truth of the story.
Lin Feng was very satisfied with this reaction.
This was the expected response from someone seeing Amazons for the first time.
Cannibalism,
It's an easy way to stimulate adrenaline,
Because it goes against common sense,
So besides finding it bloody and disgusting,
There's more curiosity, why eat people,
What happens after eating people,
And that will lead to the entire Amazons series.
Sure enough,
Once everyone accepted the cannibalism setting,
The subsequent tragic stories,
Filled their faces with sadness.
"That's why the setting says Kamen Rider and the monster are from the same origin."
"Tragic hero? I feel like this script will open up a new path!"
"But simply reading it once, it seems like the story isn't finished?"
"..."
Many people noticed this problem,
They unconsciously looked at Lin Feng, turning into readers who have read a novel chapter and are eagerly awaiting the next.
"Don't worry."
Lin Feng smiled,
"You're right, the story isn't over yet. There's a second season, but we need to take it one step at a time, don't you think?"
At this time, Miyahara Kana raised her hand, excitedly asking,
"Boss! When does filming start?!"
After seeing that her character had a lot of fight scenes,
She was already getting restless.
"We could start filming right now, but we're missing one male actor."
Lin Feng looked at the cast list, the blank space next to Takayama Jin, and couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
They had been waiting for half a day, and the company's agents hadn't gotten back to him,
If they find someone later, that's fine. If they don't, should they just not film this drama?
Just then,
The system's notification sounded in his ears again,
【Ding! Detecting that the host is in trouble, a new skill has been activated!】
【Ding! Congratulations host for obtaining: Divine Acting Skill!】
【Ding! Congratulations host for obtaining: Divine Makeup Skill!】
"Hm? This is…?"
Lin Feng looked at the prompts in front of him, after a moment of stunned silence, he realized,
"The system wants me to play Takayama Jin?!"
Acting maxed out, makeup maxed out,
He's also the one who knows the script best,
There really isn't anyone more suitable to play Takayama Jin than him on set!
Lin Feng's mind was set,
Then he got up, waved his hand,
"Okay! The cast is set now. I'll play the role! Let's prepare to start filming!"
Looking at Lin Feng's confident figure as he strode out,
The actresses were all deeply attracted,
Who wouldn't love a wealthy, handsome, and confident director?
As for the male actors, they were more level-headed,
They were more worried about whether this boss, who held so many positions,
Was doing this for self-promotion, or did he really have the skills?
The answer should be revealed soon.

The studio was a separate factory building,
The equipment and instruments were brought out from the warehouse shortly after Lin Feng's request,
Although they had been gathering dust for over a year, there weren't many problems with using them again,
At most, they just need to replace some parts,
Moreover, what Lin Feng was preparing to do now was to shoot a pilot trailer,
After all, this was the first time a Tokusatsu drama was introduced to the national audience,
It needs some time to build up hype,
Plus, Amazons is essentially R-rated content, even in some cases it's 18+,
Passing censorship in China is a big problem.
"Boss!"
At this moment,
Maruyama Hiro rushed to the scene with his team,
As the prop department, although he was assigned by Lin Feng to oversee the suit production,
But the actors' costumes were also under his jurisdiction,
After learning that Lin Feng was about to start filming,
He quickly brought the actors' costumes to the scene as instructed.
"Boss! The suits are done, they turned out even better than expected!"
Maruyama Hiro excitedly expressed his feelings to Lin Feng,
He turned to the actors around him and curiously asked,
"So who should we give the suits to? I want to take a look at how they look on."
Lin Feng had already prepared for this,
In fact, the design blueprints he gave to Maruyama Hiro even specified the height, weight, and measurements according to those actors.
"Look, over there."
Following Lin Feng's finger, they saw a few men who were obviously not actors walked in from outside the factory building,
It was Takayama Sei-ji, a famous Rider Suit Actor, Nakamura Koji, the "O" Suit Actor,
And Yonde, the perennial "Deputy Rider" Suit Actor who had also played Jirou in "Sun's Son", Okamoto Jiro, and so on.
