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

"Um, I haven't touched these three meat dishes. If you don't mind..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wang Dong eagerly chimed in, "Thanks, bro! You're the most handsome! Even more handsome than Nagano Hiroshi!"

Yang Qian raised an eyebrow and teased, "Shh, don't tell the truth. If Nagano Hiroshi finds out, he'll make things difficult for me."

"How could that be!"

Wang Dong, completely oblivious to Yang Qian's joke, emphasized earnestly, "Nagano-senpai isn't that kind of person!"

Seeing his serious expression, Yang Qian stopped teasing him and handed him the box containing the meat and vegetables.

"Okay, remember to finish your food and don't waste any."

"Don't worry, bro, I was known as the king of gluttony in college."

Wang Dong accepted the boxed lunch with reverence.

"Oh, and there's yogurt and fruit over there, self-service, and you can get more if you're not full."

Yang Qian pointed towards the long table, got up to pack her lunchbox, patted Wang Dong on the shoulder, and turned to leave the set's rest area.

He has to meet someone later.

"Uh-huh."

Wang Dong was engrossed in finishing the three meat dishes and a bowl of pork rib soup he had just received, completely unaware of the direction Yang Qian had left in.

Just as he was eating his second serving of braised beef, the light in front of him was suddenly blocked by a broad figure.

Diujing stood in front of him, a confused expression on his round face.

After distributing the boxed meals, he saw a young man in the distance behind the food cart, with two boxed meals spread out in front of him, eating happily.

Digging a well, he walked over and asked, "Wang Dong, why do you have two meat dishes?"

There was no sense of blame involved.

He thought there was a problem with today's delivery count and was quickly figuring out how to check the delivery records later.

Wang Dong looked up from his lunchbox and answered innocently, "Well, I asked the actor who plays Serizawa for it, and he gave it to me."

Digging well, his expression froze for a moment.

As a key member, he naturally knew who was playing Serizawa.

Director Yang!

He looked down at the two meat dishes laid out in front of Wang Dong.

Yang Qian handed it to the child without him touching anything.

Horii, the GUTS member known for his honest and simple nature in "Ultraman Tiga," didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this moment. Director Yang still loves to tease people.

He wanted to say something, but his language system temporarily crashed due to shock. In the end, he just reached out and patted Wang Dong on the shoulder, leaving behind the words: "You...eat well."

At the same time, Digging Well silently made up his mind.

Next time I deliver a boxed lunch to Director Yang, I must include two extra meat dishes.

Wang Dong remained oblivious, continuing to eat his meal with his head down, completely unaware that he had just called someone "brother".

One can only imagine the turmoil Horii was experiencing inside his heart at that moment.

Meanwhile, in the actors' dressing room on set.

Yang Qian pushed open the door and saw the person he was supposed to meet during his lunch break.

The lounge was well-lit, and a tall, slender man stood by the window, wearing a GUYS team uniform.

He was drinking coffee from a paper cup when he heard the door open, so he turned around and gave a polite smile.

Minoru Tanaka, an actor from the Sakura Prefecture.

Yang Qian also believes that he is the most suitable person to play Shingo Sakomizu, the captain of GUYS in "Ultraman Mebius".

Shingo Sakamizu is an extremely unique character within the overall narrative structure of "Mebius".

Unlike previous Ultraman series captains.

He is the traditional captain responsible for issuing attack orders, and a commander who remains calm and decisive when facing monsters.

It was also the most difficult order he issued as the commander-in-chief during the decisive battle.

The entire atmosphere of GUYS changed because of him.

Yang Qian closed the door to the lounge, took a few steps forward, and extended her hand.

His voice was more solemn than usual, like a junior meeting a senior he had long admired, or like a creator finally meeting the actor he most wanted to work with.

"Captain Sakamizu, hello there, or should I call you Lord Saffrin?"

Tanaka paused for a moment in mid-air, holding the coffee cup.

"Sha...Flin?"

Tanaka paused for a moment.

He naturally knew the reference, but the actor playing Serizawa used it right away.

What does it mean?

"Captain Sakakizumi is the most suitable person to be Zoffy's human form."

Yang Qian's tone was very serious.

"Zoffy is the captain of the Land of Light, and Shingo Sakamizu is the captain of GUYS."

"Zoffy was never just the one standing on the front line of the battlefield; he also stood behind everyone, making every soldier feel that he was not fighting alone."

"The depth of this kind of role is something not everyone can pull off."

Tanaka looked at Yang Qian with a probing gaze.

For an actor meeting her for the first time, Yang Qian's current identity is that of the young actor playing Serizawa Kazuya.

It's rare in his career to be able to analyze the fit between the character and the actor to this depth in less than two hundred words.

"Your understanding of this character," Tanaka carefully chose his words, "is not something an ordinary actor could say."

Yang Qian's eyebrow twitched almost imperceptibly, nearly giving herself away.

"I helped write the script."

He used a statement that neither lied nor revealed the whole story.

He paused, then skillfully steered the conversation back to Tanaka.

"What are your thoughts on the character of Captain Sakomizu, Mr. Tanaka?"

Tanaka remained silent for a while.

"Shingo Sakomizu is quite different from the captains in other Ultraman series."

He finally spoke, "He's not the traditional captain who stands on the command platform, giving orders to attack with a stern face."

"He will make mistakes, he will hesitate, and at the most critical moments he will give the choice to his teammates instead of making all the decisions himself."

He looked at Yang Qian and said, "It is my honor to play such a role."

After listening, Yang Qian picked up her coffee cup and slightly raised it towards Tanaka.

It's not a toast, it's a gesture of respect.

"Captain Sakami wouldn't be Captain Sakami without you."

The two chatted for a while about trivial matters on set.

"Mr. Masuda even came to ask me about it yesterday."

Tanaka asked, with a barely suppressed laugh, "What kind of food do you like in Sakura?"

"He said if I didn't like the food on set, he could adjust the seasonings for me."

He paused, the corners of his mouth curving up even more. "I said no, the food here is already very good, much better than what I've eaten on many film sets in Sakura."

"That's the kind of person who digs wells—meticulous and conscientious in their work."

Yang Qian smiled.

After the laughter subsided, the lounge fell silent for a few seconds.

Yang Qian looked at Tanaka.

On a timeline that has not yet occurred, the person in front of you will choose to leave this world someday in the future.

But it's not too late now.

"Tanaka-senpai,"

Yang Qian began, "You've played many roles. Is there any role that, even long after you've finished playing it, you still feel like it hasn't left you?"

Tanaka looked up at him.

This problem was clearly not what he expected, but he didn't brush it off.

"Some characters are like that."

His answer was very frank: "Not all characters are like that."

"But occasionally, there will be one where you lend a part of yourself to him, and he doesn't give it back after the performance."

"Or conversely, he left something for you. The more of this thing you have, the heavier you become."

Yang Qian nodded.

"There's a term called 'an actor's self-cultivation.' I wonder what Tanaka-senpai thinks of this saying."

"When an actor encounters this situation, the role leaves something behind for them, and they will be affected to some extent. Sometimes the dividing line becomes blurred."

"This impact is not always positive."

Tanaka asked and answered himself, "Over time, you can't even tell which emotions belong to the character and which are your own. Eventually, you might even start to feel that all of this was originally your own."

Yang Qian shifted his gaze to Tanaka's eyes and said earnestly.

"If anything happens, Tanaka-senpai, please contact me. Maybe I'll transform into Ultraman Hikari and save you."

Tanaka looked at Yang Qian, paused for a moment, and then regained his composure.

He wasn't sure if what the young actor in front of him said was just a coincidence.

His smile remained gentle.

"Thank you, I'll remember that."

Yang Qian did not continue speaking.

Some things can only be said so far; saying even one more word will only push the other person away.

The rest is up to time, to trust, and to people...

fate.

"Oh, right."

Yang Qian spoke.

"We have another scene together this afternoon, and I haven't gone over the lines with you yet."

Tanaka smiled as he pulled out the script, which was already worn and frayed.

"I'm ready, are you?"

"Come on, Ultraman Hikari—Hikaru, Captain Sakai has been waiting for you for a long time."
