Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

On the set of "Ultraman Mebius", it was almost lunchtime.

Director Guo Fan stood up from behind the monitor, picked up the megaphone, and shouted.

"Cut! Everyone take a break, prepare for dinner!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the tense atmosphere on set, which had lasted all morning, instantly relaxed.

The lighting crew turned off the lights, the prop crew began putting away the explosive devices used that morning, and the actors removed their equipment one by one.

Guo Fan put the megaphone aside, walked over to Yang Qian, and said something in a low voice.

"Director Yang, you have another scene to film this afternoon."

"Yes, I know."

Yang Qian nodded.

As the creator of "Ultraman Mebius," no one knows the storyboard of the show better than him.

Ultraman Hikari, the first blue warrior to appear in the Land of Light's history as an avenger, has a human form, Kazuya Serizawa, whose screen time is relatively limited.

But every game is a crucial turning point, and no carelessness is allowed.

Yang Qian had several options for the role of Kazuya Serizawa.

However, in terms of matching schedules, temperament, and age, a solution that satisfies everyone has yet to be found.

In the end, he made a decision.

"I'll act it out!!!"

Su Xiaoran only asked three words at the time: "Are you serious?"

"Seriously."

Yang Qian responded, "Anyway, the audience has been urging me to play the human form of Ultraman for a long time."

"Why not take this opportunity to give them an explanation?"

And so the matter was settled.

The makeup artist was completely stunned when she received the assignment.

The pressure of styling your own boss and making him look like he's in his early thirties with a weathered appearance is immense.

But the results after several rounds of photoshoots were surprisingly good.

The makeup artist used three different shades of contouring powder on Yang Qian's face and added an extremely sophisticated layer of foundation, making him look almost ten years older than his actual age.

The brow bone and jawline were manually pulled out to create a more rigid angle, transforming the person from a refreshing young director into a seasoned captain with a deep and profound look in his eyes.

When the official photos were sent to the core work group, Guo Fan sent three thumbs-up emojis along with the caption.

"That's how Serizawa Kazuya is."

Moreover, during filming, Miriam Yeung made a decision.

They do not reveal their identities.

Apart from Su Xiaoran, Guo Fan, and a few core personnel who arrived earliest on set, the entire film set was empty.

No one knows that Serizawa, who receives lunch boxes with them every day, waits in line with them, and stands under the scorching sun until his legs go numb, is also the boss of the Land of Light.

In everyone's eyes, he was just a new tokusatsu actor who was poached by Guo Fan from some unknown agency. His face was a bit unfamiliar, but his acting was really good.

The decision had an even better effect than Yang Qian had anticipated.

Because they have no identity baggage.

The crew members and extras didn't show the same restraint and caution they would have when interacting with the boss.

Everyone should joke around and tease each other.

Every day on set was a hundred times more comfortable for Miriam Yeung than signing documents in the office.

Just as Guo Fan announced the lunch break, a voice quietly rang out.

"Yay! I heard the meals at the Land of Light tokusatsu set are top-notch in the industry, I finally have a chance to try them!"

The speaker was Wang Dong, a new stagehand who had just graduated this year and joined the Land of Light.

He exudes the unique vitality of youth.

When he joined the company, he was assigned to the special effects department, and he even sent a message in the new employee training group.

"Has anyone here told me if the boxed lunches on special effects sets are really as delicious as people say?"

More than thirty senior members in the group replied with the same word.

"wait."

Now he finally doesn't have to wait anymore.

The logistics team pushed the food cart in through the side door of the film set, and Wang Dong's eyes lit up the moment he saw it.

Three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes.

Vegetable dishes are not the kind of perfunctory stuff that can be done by simply blanching them in boiling water.

Each vegetarian dish contains shredded or minced meat, stir-fried to perfection with wok hei (wok aroma), juiciness, and vibrant color.

The meat dishes were braised beef, sweet and sour pork ribs, and a whole New Orleans roasted chicken leg.

The rice is Wuchang rice from Northeast China, and every grain is steamed until it is crystal clear.

Each person was also given a bowl of pork rib soup, with genuine, pure pork ribs floating in the broth.

A long table was set up not far away, with freshly cut fruit platters and rows of yogurts on it, with no restrictions on the amount that could be taken.

Wang Dong opened the lunchbox lid, took a deep breath, and then tasted a bite of braised beef.

The beef was stewed until it was thoroughly cooked, and it melted on the tip of the tongue without much chewing.

The sauce was perfectly balanced between salty and sweet, and when the aroma of the meat and the savory sauce burst in his mouth at the same time, Wang Dong felt his eyes well up with tears.

"I'm so happy."

He swallowed the beef in his mouth and let out a sigh that came from the depths of his soul.

Yang Qian sat on the folding chair next to her, holding a boxed lunch in her hand.

He couldn't help but chuckle at Wang Dong's fascinating expression.

"Is it tasty?"

"Of course it's delicious!"

Wang Dong nodded vigorously, "It's ten times better than my university cafeteria food—no, a hundred times better!"

"As long as it tastes good."

Yang Qian nodded without saying anything more.

He personally set the food standards on set.

The filming intensity of tokusatsu dramas is far higher than that of ordinary film and television dramas.

In the summer, suit actors stand for hours in airtight suits, and the lighting and explosions on set also consume a lot of their energy.

If the food standards for this production crew are merely "enough to fill their stomachs," then that would be disrespectful to all the staff.

Therefore, he established a strict rule for the special effects department from the very beginning.

The meals are standardized for everyone; there are no special meals for the director or actors.

Everyone's boxed meals were exactly the same, and everyone's meal allowance was allocated at the highest standard.

The person responsible for enforcing this rule was Yukio Masuda.

If you take the name Yukio Masuda out of context, many people might not recognize who he is.

But if we're talking about the chubby team member who played Horii in "Ultraman Tiga"...

Audiences across the country probably instantly recalled that round face with its ever-present honest smile.

Aside from appearing in "Dyna," Masuda has always been in charge of logistics and catering for tokusatsu production crews.

The reason is simple: just by looking at this guy's physique, you can tell he's a connoisseur of food.

However, the crew members still habitually call him Digjing.

Masuda himself never corrected it; in fact, the name tags on the uniforms of the logistics team he was in charge of all read Horii instead of Masuda.

If you call him Mr. Masuda to his face, he will be stunned for a moment before realizing who you are calling.

Yang Qian looked down at the boxed lunch in her hand, picked up a couple of bites of vegetables, but didn't touch the three meat dishes.

Wang Dong, who was next to Yang Qian, was gnawing on ribs while glancing at Yang Qian's lunchbox out of the corner of his eye.

The longing in his eyes was almost tangible.

Yang Qian noticed Wang Dong's gaze and almost burst out laughing.

This kid is so easy to guess.
