Chapter 7
Countdown to Filming! Is Hirokazu Sakamoto Here?!

Speaking of tokusatsu,

Besides the adrenaline-pumping action scenes,

the diverse suits,

the cool drivers,

the most important thing is the foundation that perfectly displays all of these,

that is, the suit actors who wear those heavy costumes and perform various high-difficulty actions.

So, when Lin Feng first knew that he would be filming tokusatsu,

he had already started planning in his heart to bring together those suit actors he was familiar with from his previous life.

He thought this would be a difficult task to accomplish,

but unexpectedly,

the company's agent easily found them in the talent market.

Takayama Jiro, Nakamura Koji, Ooiwa Eitoku, Okamoto Jiro, etc.,

Even when the agent signed contracts with them,

they were all packaged and delivered together.

It is said that the current action market is not doing well,

in order to win labels like "hardworking" and "serious",

most of the young actors chose to do their own stunts, refusing to use stunt doubles,

but the result was mediocre,

The action scenes were so bad...

But there's no way, brainless fans eat this stuff,

which has made stunt actors get fewer and fewer jobs,

giving Lin Feng an opportunity to take advantage of this.

Of course, if he were to hire these big names at the price of his previous life,

Lin Feng wouldn't be unable to afford it,

the main reason is that several of them are on the verge of retirement,

the "Second Uncle" of the Kamen Rider set has even become a freelancer, and hasn't touched tokusatsu for three or four years.

If it wasn't for the fact that in this parallel world,

Second Uncle and the others haven't become big stars yet, and still have to support their families,

it wouldn't have been so easy to bring them all together today.

"Are you Mr. Lin Feng?"

Takayama Jiro looked at Lin Feng respectfully, with gratitude in his eyes,

"Thank you for giving me and these brothers a chance. Don't worry, although we haven't touched action scenes for a while, our skills are still there. We can warm up and show you later!"

Speaking, Takayama Jiro pulled himself into a fighting stance, ready to show off his skills to Lin Feng,

but this was obviously unnecessary,

there were more important things to do at the moment,

so Lin Feng directly pressed his shoulder, smiling and pointing at Maruyama Hiroshi beside him,

"If you want to show off, go and change into your 'clothes' with this gentleman first. We need to take some publicity photos and shoot a short trailer. We can take our time with everything else."

Maruyama Hiroshi immediately took over the conversation, saying:

"Gentlemen, this way please."

Takayama Jiro and the others were somewhat surprised,

their eyes also showed a hint of joyful surprise,

it seemed like it was the first time they had seen a crew that would also take publicity photos of action actors,

before they could only show their faces in the crew's closing photos.

However,

when they saw the so-called 'clothes',

they understood that these 'clothes' didn't allow them to show their faces...

But instead,

a sense of novelty, never felt before, filled their hearts.

It didn't take long,

the changing room door opened,

a series of low gasps spread throughout the studio!

"Hey hey hey! Look over there!"

"My goodness! This is the... suit that the boss mentioned!"

"It's so realistic! This is exactly what I imagined when I read the script!"

"Is it possible that the boss wrote the description based on the design drawings..."

"But we have to say, the boss's mind is not ordinary!"

"I feel like even if we don't shoot any tokusatsu dramas, we can become popular by just going to a Comic Market!"

"..."

The suit actors seemed to have never received so much attention,

to the point where, even after putting on the suits and being excited, they felt a sense of unease and pride that they couldn't explain.

Lin Feng didn't pay attention to the reactions around him,

he circled around Takayama Jiro and the others.

The good news was that it was very realistic.

The bad news was that it was too realistic.

Maruyama Hiroshi really went all out with the material,

It felt like there was no need for special effects, these guys were already the Kamen Riders and Amazons in the show!

Of course,

this was also a good thing,

it would increase the audience's perception!

"Boss? Is this... suit what we'll be wearing in the show later?"

Takayama Jiro moved his helmet, which didn't offer much vision, and asked with difficulty.

"That's right, these are called suits. Normally, you will appear in the show in these forms and engage in action scenes."

When they heard Lin Feng's last few words,

the suit actors felt the pressure on their shoulders increase,

mainly because they had never encountered this kind of action scene shooting method before,

plus, they hadn't acted as action actors for a long time, their hands were rusty,

the final outcome might disappoint people.

But all of this,

Lin Feng had already planned ahead for them.

"Gentlemen, don't worry too much. I have already envisioned the design of most of the action scenes. With your level, I guess you'll understand by watching once."

With these words, the scene was once again in an uproar,

He's the screenwriter, he's the director, and now he's also the action director?!

Just how many skills does this guy have?!

But there's no way,

the reward given by the system was too comprehensive,

The script of "Kamen Rider Amazons" even had the breakdown of each part of the action scenes,

Lin Feng understood it by reading it once, and when he simulated it on site,

these suit actors would just follow along.

"Alright, everyone's here now. I've sent the trailer script to you. You don't need to memorize it completely. This trailer focuses on atmosphere."

Speaking, Lin Feng also walked towards the changing room,

"I'll go change my clothes and change my look. We'll start filming after I come back!"

Hearing this,

none of the actors on site weren't immersed in analyzing the contents of the script,

Although Lin Feng said they didn't need to memorize it completely,

but he was the big boss, and the new director,

no one dared to be certain of his temper,

what if they froze during filming and there was a problem,

they might not only be scolded,

but their salaries might also be deducted!

Not long after,

Lin Feng also changed into the clothes he had prepared in advance,

but when he re-entered everyone's sight,

the scene was silent,

Everyone was speechless,

Because Lin Feng now looked completely different from before,

From his appearance to his temperament, he was completely different from the youthful man before,

now he was a decadent and gloomy middle-aged man!

Just looking at his age, he could be twenty years older!

Was this really just achieved through costume and makeup?!

Wait!

Could it be that he did all this makeup himself?!

Just what else doesn't this guy know how to do?!

But then again,

this kind of gloomy and sloppy uncle,

unintentionally had a certain appeal,

making Takeda Rena, Higashi Asia Yu, and Miyahara Kaon's eyes fix on Lin Feng, even a little absent-minded.

Ignoring everyone's reaction,

Lin Feng, who was about to go to the camera equipment to start filming,

Suddenly thought of something important.

That was, he was going to play the role of Takayama Jin,

who would control the camera equipment?

Although he could make various adjustments,

someone had to sit behind the equipment to ensure that the equipment was running smoothly.

Darn it,

he hadn't considered this.

Just as Lin Feng was frowning, thinking about quickly finding a director from the company,

from the corner, a middle-aged voice came over,

"That... Mr. Lin Feng, are you looking for an assistant director to control the equipment?"

Lin Feng looked over following the voice,

a look of surprise and joy appeared on his face immediately,

It was truly a case of saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao then he appears,

and this timely savior was even more suitable for the tokusatsu crew than any director!

He was the one who was both loved and hated by many tokusatsu fans,

known as "The man who makes dramas go to hell and action scenes go to heaven", Sakamoto Koichi!
