Tokyo Sound

These are the legendary ancestral venues, such as the ancestral overpass, ancestral warehouse, ancestral canyon, ancestral stadium, ancestral dam… The main idea is reuse.

The hangar is so beautiful. Oh, isn’t this a Caesar leather suit? Let’s take a look at the ancestral beach in the distance, fellow riders.

Yin Ze originally wanted to sneak into the warehouse again to steal power, but the chief producer always appeared in front of him quickly, and he didn't know why he was so enthusiastic.

"You're here so early, haha. Come, let me introduce you briefly. This is the director Ishiaki Hidehiro. We met before at the dinner." said Shinkuro Shirakura.

"Please give me your advice. I will definitely follow your performance arrangements." Yin Ze held the helmet in his hand.

"Okay, okay." Shi Zhangxiufan has been working in special effects for many years and has met many newcomers, some of whom are excellent, but most of them have just debuted and find it difficult to do projects. There are also pure newbies who are forced in by the agency, and they have suffered a lot. This time, I can experience SSR, which is very gratifying.

"I guess you've read the script thoroughly, right?" Shi Zhang Xiufan asked, "Is there anything you don't understand?"

"I have memorized it all." Yin Ze said in an absolute tone.

"Look at this confidence and this demeanor." Shi Zhangxiu was more and more satisfied. "Then let's do the makeup first. Please follow me."

Although Shinkuro Shirakura was the chief producer and was very busy, he still went to the dressing room with them.

The protagonist of the play is named Mizusawa Yu. Following the tradition that enemies and friends have the same origin, he is an experimental subject. Even though he was born only two years ago, he already looks like a college student in his 20s. His intelligence is also at the average level. However, due to house arrest, memory loss and cognitive problems, he has a childlike ignorance. At the same time, as an experimental subject, his cells also contain a crazy desire to eat.

So there are two opposite keywords - innocence and wildness.

Generally speaking, it is a complex character. He has a process of transformation. He is confused and looking for reasons to fight. It is not as refreshing as others who have made up their minds and are fighting bloody battles. To interpret these two characteristics harmoniously is still a test of one's ability.

Master Yin is full of confidence in this, because he has already developed the Corridor of Life to a high level!

At the beginning of the plot, Mizusawa Yu was adopted under near-house arrest and was very confused. He was even in pain after learning the truth about the experimental subject. In terms of appearance, he naturally had to lean towards the direction of being well-behaved and kind.

Yin Ze took a special look at the makeup artist and made sure that it was not the familiar makeup artist sister... It seemed that she failed to apply for the job this time.

Hairstyle has always been an important option. After careful consideration and several modifications, it was finally decided to be a good student-like style that does not exceed the ears or eyebrows. For dramatic considerations, the bangs were divided and layered. With eyebrow trimming, the effect was immediate, and he looked like a good child who obeyed the curfew and must go home before 8 o'clock in the evening. Then, he adjusted his facial movements with the corridor of life and used puppy eyes with his acting skills. It must be a special attack on older women.

The combination of makeup and acting shows how versatile the character is. Shi Zhangxiufan nodded secretly.

It's photogenic, and nothing that would damage the image would happen. Shirakura Shinkuro, as a producer, thought from the perspective of an agent.

"Okay, let's take a look at the leather case next." Shinkuro Shirakura gave a high EQ suggestion.

Several people came to the "Men's Wardrobe" again.

"This is Amazon Omega, Mizusawa Yu's suit. There is also a set of original suits of a monster nature, but that one doesn't appear often." Shirakura Shinkuro introduced.

"Not bad." Yin Ze offended the leather case spread out on the work table in various ways, touching the chest and legs, and his behavior was a bit obscene. Its design prototype seemed to be a lizard, and the main color was the favorite green. The style was capable, and the spiked hand guards gave it a warrior feel. Compared with the avant-garde fashion of the knights in the late Heisei period, he preferred this style.

"Director, can I wear a suit and participate in some less intense fighting scenes?" Yin Ze asked politely, "I think this will help me understand the sadness of the character as a modified body."

"You have such a dedicated attitude, no problem." Shi Zhangxiufan said appreciatively, "But you have to strictly follow the arrangement of the action director to avoid injuries. For some difficult actions, it is better to leave them to professional stuntmen."

"Of course, I know my limitations." Yin Ze said. Although he has the help of the corridor, he can copy and paste somersaults, swallow-style turns, and self-sacrificing flying kicks, but he has not been trained in the hardware, so it's hard to do. However, the standing set of moves is still no problem. The main reason is that the opportunity to wear a suit to fight monsters is too rare, and he will regret it for a long time if he doesn't go on stage.

"Then let's take a final makeup photo first." Shirakura Shinkuro said again.

Shi Zhangxiufan had no objection and was about to leave, but he found that the prop master began to help the leading actor put on the leather suit with a look of fear and vigilance. The chief producer skillfully took out his mobile phone and prepared.

So the makeup photo you mentioned is a costume photo instead of a pre-production photo of the protagonist?

Master Yin put on his own green battle suit and found that the size was surprisingly suitable. It was much more suitable than the Ultimate Black Eye suit made according to other people's specifications.

"Filming is all about details. If the protagonist suddenly grows taller or shorter after the transformation, it will be a mistake." Shirakura Shinkuro added at the right time, "So we made it according to your data, it will definitely fit, and the action crew will try to find people with a similar body shape to you."

"It's really meticulous." Yin Ze praised.

"It's my duty. Filming can't be sloppy. It has to be watched by people all over the country and even the world." Shirakura Shinkuro smiled.

Indeed, there is nothing wrong with what they said, and they are all serious considerations in line with the creation.

But for some reason, Shi Zhang Xiufan felt that the chief producer was too caring and enthusiastic, and he was accompanying and explaining the whole process.

Is this still the familiar Shirakura? Could it be a Zerg in disguise?

Yin Ze posed in several poses and took some photos before he reluctantly took off the leather case.

"Where is the main filming location? I was thinking if it's far away, we can just rent a house nearby, but I'm afraid I can't keep up with your work pace." Yin Ze asked.

Working on the Kamen Rider set has never been easy, and three shifts are normal. There are even rumors that once you have played Kamen Rider, you will not feel tired when playing anything else.

"Our work is sometimes tight, and we are busy, but we will never exploit our employees," Shirakura said immediately. "We have zero tolerance for things like power harassment."

"How's the food?" Yin Ze finally couldn't hold it in.

"We have both meat and vegetarian dishes, and the standards are not low. We attach great importance to the working environment. We are a warm company, and we are recognized by the Labor Standards Bureau." When facing this person, Shinkuro Shirakura has always been flawless on this topic.

“…That’s good.” Yin Ze was a little confused by the seriousness of the chief producer. He just wanted to know whether there were chicken legs and pig’s feet.

"Let me give you the schedule now." Shirakura Shinkuro said with a smile again.

"?" Shi Zhang Xiufan looked left and right, and felt more and more that there were strange insects at work.

What kind of weirdo dares to go to Toei Studios and act so recklessly? Aren't they afraid of being kicked by the knights?

Chapter 52: Desire is hard to satisfy

After the photography studio finalized various preliminary matters, everything was ready. On the third day, we finally entered the core shooting stage.

Yin Ze's previous work was fine except for "Ronin Kenshin". For "Little Forest" and "Woodpecker and Rain", he had to go to remote areas and work, eat, drink and stay with the crew. This time, he had to shoot in Tokyo, ride a motorcycle to and from get off work, and be a knight both on and off the screen. The only downside is that he can't use the excuse of a business trip to legally extort travel expenses from his agent. Life is full of gains and losses.

According to rumors, the actors would start waiting for the scenes at 4am on the set of Knight. So Master Yin set a biological alarm using the corridor of life, and came to the studio early to put on makeup and wait for the scenes. However, the wait was not too long, as Shirakura Shinkuro appeared on the set with a meat bun for breakfast and a smile on his face.

After politely declining, Yin Ze ate the meat bun. Seeing that he seemed bored sitting there, Shirakura Shinkuro allowed him to go to the leather warehouse to play. Yin Ze had no objection and went for a walk with his hands behind his back.

The familiar prop master pulled out his wardrobe and displayed ten well-preserved Showa series leather cases.

"Change a batch." Yin Ze took a look and waved his hand in a very wealthy manner.

The prop master replaced the suits with a batch of Dragon Knight series leather suits, the kind with belts and cards.

"This is good." Yin Ze's eyes lit up, and he immediately flipped over the Yeqi brand and began to pinch and touch it. He also experienced the official quality of the toy, with accurate sound effects, strong materials, strong feedback, and it was completely transparent.

"Hey, isn't there a girl named Hua Meng in Dragon Rider? Is that suit still kept?" Yin Ze turned his head, his eyes glowing green. He scratched his forehead with his fingers and smiled obscenely.

"..." The prop master hesitated to speak.

How come this nice Hero Warehouse was turned into Kabukicho-style shopping mall by this guy?

Is this still a positive character?!

Yin Ze hadn't been playing for long when he received a call to join the group.

Put on a white shirt and turn on the innocence mode, buddy is like a hunting wolf today.

"This is the first time we meet, please give me some advice~"

Met with the crew and greeted them in various ways.

Filming is all about the mobilization of personnel, and putting together the schedules of each actor reasonably is also a reflection of management ability. Although today is the start day, the actors and what to shoot are all planned all the way to the end. There are many literary scenes and one fighting scene this time, and the task is relatively heavy. While Yin Ze was shooting the interior scenes at the photography studio, another group of people had already arrived at the ancestral site to shoot the exterior scenes, so it was a multi-line operation.

The first scene is the first appearance of the protagonist Mizusawa Yu. The protagonist has a vague memory of the past and thinks he is an ordinary person, but he is weak and sickly. His adoptive mother stipulates that he cannot leave home and must have regular check-ups and take medicine. Although he feels lonely, he also accepts it obediently.

Master Yin had to emphasize his gentle and kind temperament, but he also had to portray the loss of having his freedom restricted, as well as the disgust of taking unknown inhibitory drugs on a regular basis.

Honestly, it's quite simple.

The image conditions are there, sitting there, obedient, with a pair of clear big eyes, like a pony, like a deer, lowering eyebrows and whispering. The voice is clear and the boy is as white as paper, naturally attracting the protective desire and maternal instinct of older women, without using too much acting skills of the strongest newcomer.

This is the nature of the screen, which comes with its own atmosphere and story.

This paragraph is about the protagonist's sister who is worried about her brother and comes to visit him. Then the mother appears, calls her sister away, and admonishes the protagonist in a tough manner.

The actress who plays the younger sister, Takeda Hishinori, is very young and has had many experiences in film and television work. However, Ishiaki Hidehiro has high requirements. If some details of the performance are not satisfactory, they will be cut. After several times, the little girl became nervous and unconfident. Seeing this, the director took the initiative to come forward and explain the play.

Yin Ze was very quiet throughout the whole process, without any abnormality, and did not put pressure on others. In short, he would stop the operation when the cut was called, and connect to the line when the board was hit. The director even realized later that this guy was too stable. No matter how many times he performed, he was always stable and good, like a human-shaped video played repeatedly, without any fluctuations.

It's true that an expert can tell whether something is good or not with just one look. Shi Zhangxiufan sighed.

……

"Can I do it?" The sister, wearing JK clothing, looked at her excited brother.

"Of course you can. The water tank is like a world, a forest, a town or something. Just imagine what you like and do it. Then it will become your world, Miyuki." The boy opened the corrugated box and took out the water tank model.

"mine?"

"Yeah." The boy bent down and observed the tropical fish swimming quickly in the tank through the glass. The ends of his black hair naturally fell down from his eyebrows. He smiled lightly like a child looking at his favorite toy. "Looking at it this way, it's like I've entered that world. It's extraordinarily peaceful."

"Um..." Mizuki Mizuki asked softly, "Ayou, do you want to get out of here?"

"What?" The boy looked up.

"My mother is very strict with Ayou, isn't she? Even if you are weak, it's too much to forbid you to leave the house." Mizusawa Mizuki turned her head away, "She also asked me not to visit you so often. Ayou must have a hard time. Have you ever thought that it would be better if you didn't come to our house?"

"No, I'm very grateful to my mother for adopting me. Someone like me." The boy shook his head, "Just staying at home. I don't blame her at all."

"Really?" When Mizuki Mizuki heard this answer, she knew that her brother did not hate her and she couldn't help but smile.

"Yeah." The boy nodded firmly.

"This room is like my water tank." The boy remained optimistic and said this subconsciously.

Mizusawa Mizuki was stunned, and the corners of her mouth, which were originally raised because of a smile, slowly drooped as if she had lost her strength.

When the conversation between the two ended.

A capable and strong woman in a black suit walked in. She looked at the girl and said in a stern tone: "Miyuki, what are you doing? Why don't you go to the cram school after school? Go out first. I have something to say to You."

"Yes." Mizusawa Mizuki did not dare to disobey her mother and walked out with her head down.

"You, I have arranged for someone from the research institute to come and examine you tomorrow." The woman said after a pause.

"Didn't we do it last month?" The boy was stunned.

“There’s no harm in getting more tests.”

"But when will it be..."

"You take medicine every day, right?" the woman interrupted him.

"Yes, but I don't like that kind of medicine..."

"This is not a question of like or not." The woman emphasized, "Two years ago you were still bedridden, you know."

The boy's mouth moved, but in the end he accepted it silently without refutation.

……

The camera moves, and the protagonist's lonely face is located behind a transparent water tank. This composition implies his imprisoned state and psychology. Shi Zhang Xiufan feels that all aspects meet his requirements and is very satisfied, so he shouts "Cut".

"This one is OK," the director said. The silent staff started to move, each doing their own thing.

"Does it need to be modified?" Yin Ze asked.

"The effect is very good." Shi Zhangxiufan said happily. He had never used a Pokémon that was so easy to use.

There is a big difference between animation and film and television. Animation is controllable, and the character's emotions and the intensity of emotional output can be adjusted manually. If it is not suitable, just draw a few more versions. However, film and television actors are real people, and everyone has different growth experiences and habits. It is impossible to follow the director's expectations and ideas for all facial expressions and details like in games.

Therefore, many famous directors are used to choosing actors they are familiar with. The advantage is that they have worked together many times and have developed a tacit understanding. They can work together very smoothly and get the effect of 1+1 greater than 2. For example, Akira Kurosawa and Toshiro Mikawa, Tim Burton and Depp, Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, and the familiar faces in Nolan's movies.

All the directors who have worked with Master Yin have expressed their appreciation and affirmation for him.

Strong ability is one thing, but strong execution is an advantage. He didn't act well, most likely because the director didn't describe the requirements clearly. As long as the instructions are correct, just like the hero units in RTS, you can use your personal skills and execute resolutely.

With such extremely low communication costs and a perfect Party B executor, how could it not be liked by the picky Party A?

Bringing in a newbie is a test of your patience.

Special effects is the first choice springboard for newcomers, and there are newbies reporting every year. The brokerage companies are still trying to squeeze in people. After working as a special effects director for more than ten years, people are exhausted. What's more, the Knight series is still producer-centered, and the final say is in the hands of the chief producer.

The feeling of relief that Shi Zhang Xiufan felt in his heart today was something he couldn't tell anyone else.

The staff were packing up their equipment, and the actors who were not participating in the next itinerary were bowing and saying goodbye to everyone.

"Next we have to go to the grove, meet up with the location crew, and shoot the fight scenes with them," said Shi Zhang Xiufan.

"That's great, let's go over there quickly." Yin Ze was full of fighting spirit.

"Haha, the car is ready." Shinkuro Shirakura suddenly walked over.

"Why do you always follow our group?" Shi Zhang Xiufan felt a little strange.

"This is a photography studio, so it's normal for me to stay here." Shirakura Shinkuro said, "The bus is coming, let's get going quickly."

I haven't seen whether Toei is stingy these days, but I have experienced the action power that has been cultivated by shooting annual series for many years. As soon as this was finished, a group of people got on the truck and drove to the ancestral abandoned industrial site. The actors in the location group had just finished several scenes of the extermination class, and now they gathered to shoot the highlight at the end of the first episode, which is the first appearance of the Amazon Knight.

As soon as Yin Ze got out of the car, he was invited to the dressing room and had his upper body sprayed with a shower head.

In the plot, the protagonist did not listen to his adoptive mother and did not inject the medicine, which led to the long-suppressed hunting instinct being awakened by the fighting of Amazon in the distance. He went to the place in a confused state and transformed into a monster to fight.
