Tokyo: Bubble, but the system is Sengoku

"what?"

Upon hearing Sato's words, Chiba did not stop, but simply asked.

"My character is primarily agile, so let's use wire work instead."

Chiba paused upon hearing this.

Wire work is not uncommon at this point in time.

But it's mostly used in tokusatsu (special effects) films and action movies from Hong Kong.

The most attention-grabbing introduction actually happened not long afterward.

That is, Hiroko Yakushimaru's "The Eight Dogs of Satomi".

He recalled that the textbook recorded that the response at the time was quite positive.

The use of wire work now can also be seen as a preview of "The Eight Kenkens of Satomi".

Of course, it wasn't his rehearsal; it was the staff's.

He did this for two reasons: first, to gain more screen time and popularity; and second, to see if there was any special advantage from heaven.

After all, bungee jumping is impossible, and skydiving is even more so.

"We don't have that much funding."

Chiba sighed and explained.

"For something so dangerous, we definitely need to ask the experienced craftsmen from Hong Kong to come over."

Who will pay for hiring someone from so far away?

This is a big problem.

If he could, he certainly would.

After all, Hong Kong martial arts films have been featuring characters leaping across rooftops and leaping over walls for quite some time now.

But reality is harsh.

We don't have the money, so we can't hire anyone.

Developing talent isn't that quick, let alone developing talent in unconventional fields.

"You could try going to Tsuburaya Productions. I heard from Uehara-san that they've been doing research there."

Although Uehara is close to Toei, he doesn't sell himself to Toei; in fact, he has a good personal relationship with Tsuburaya Productions.

Sato can find out about this by asking around.

Although Okuba only had one Episode TV series from two years ago during the entire Showa era, there were still theatrical films, and the demand for filming was still quite high.

"I've heard of this, but is it reliable?"

"Most of those are static flight displays, right?"

Chiba was somewhat tempted by the idea, but the people in Hong Kong had more experience, while Ultraman clearly didn't have much experience with wire-work fighting.

At most, he's just a flying superhero of light.

"No problem, I don't need to make any big movements, just a little bit of auxiliary force and a little bit of protective force will do."

Sato said.

If there were a real problem, Ultraman would have been on the news this morning.

Not to mention that he's still a nimble monkey in the mountains, and time waits for no one.

"...Let me ask!"

After a moment's hesitation, Chiba gritted his teeth and agreed.

He knows people in Uehara, so he should be able to get a friendly price, which is definitely much cheaper than hiring someone from Hong Kong.

Not to mention, combined with Sato's confident demeanor, it gave him even more confidence.

"Excuse me."

"Ah."

Chiba responded.

This matter is also beneficial to him.

After all, he had long been interested in the filming techniques there.

Moreover, if sword-and-halberd films don't introduce a new wave, they're bound to be eliminated sooner or later.

Although new shooting techniques may still be phased out, at least they can delay the inevitable.

Putting aside considerations for the future of action films, every bit of delay is profitable for him.

In short, he was quite interested in what Sato said.

Besides, Sato isn't afraid of taking risks, so what is he afraid of?

Without further ado, Chiba led his men to Natsui and explained the situation.

Just moments before, Natsui was still reeling from the shock of the boy. But upon hearing what Chiba said, he looked back at the boy with a complicated expression.

He was just marveling at the boy's talent.

Now, he's been presented with a difficult problem.

Given the limited funds available, this request would have been ruthlessly rejected by him.

However, the shock Sato had just given him was still lingering in his mind, and he also thought highly of Sato. If Sato really became famous in the future, there would be many opportunities for them to cooperate. Of course, the more friends one has, the better, especially friends like Sato who seem to have a bright future.

"Here's what we'll do: submit your detailed quotes and plans to me, and I'll try my best to get them for you."

For all these reasons, Xia Jing did not rule out the possibility of a definitive answer.

But he didn't agree immediately either.

"it is good."

Neither of them was surprised by the other's reply.

They've been so frugal before, it would be a miracle if they agreed this time.

So the two didn't say much, and under Chiba's guidance, Sato returned to the bustling filming location outside.

It was already dusk.

Although the two of them were not filming, the other actors' scenes were still in progress.

"Then you can write down your specific actions and plans for me."

"May I?"

Sato was a little surprised; he had thought Chiba would come up with the actions himself.

"After all, it was you who brought it up."

Consider this homework I've assigned you.

Chiba nodded; this was also a test for Sato.

After all, his talent in acting and martial arts has already been proven, and the remaining tests should be put on the agenda.

Although Sato is still young, he should become famous as early as possible.

"I understand."

Sato readily agreed.

If he had no prior experience filming action scenes, he would probably be completely clueless right now.

However, relying on some theoretical knowledge from his previous life, plus the experience accumulated from previous filming and practice,

Sato had a few ideas in his mind.

However, it still takes time and experience to write these ideas down.

Of course, this photography city has both.

This is his new world, and his future.

Breathing in the dusty air, Sato quickened his pace slightly.

......

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Sato's acting skills and martial arts skills were unanimously recognized by the crew.

However, compared to the smooth filming process, his progress in designing the action scenes was quite slow.

After all, they had no experience whatsoever, and if it weren't for the help of Sanada and the others, their progress would have been even slower.

Of course, Sato didn't waste those few days; he learned a lot about action choreography from Sanada and the others.

"That's pretty much how it ends. In this scene, you need to express physical flexibility and solidify the character. So far, this is enough."

Sanada glanced at the stick figure that had been modified over the past few days, and his solemn expression relaxed slightly.
