"I'm in Tokyo, and this is some kind of movie star comeback system?!"

Sakamoto Yu stood in front of Nakagawa, listening intently.

Since Sakamoto Yu was able to drive well, Nakagawa decided to hand over the parts that originally required stunt drivers to him.

This would also give Sakamoto Yu more screen time, and the subsequent mention of the actor driving the car himself would add even more hype to the game.

The next shot doesn't require him to drive; it mainly focuses on his expression while driving.

Sakamoto Yu needs to convey a sense of excitement during high-speed driving, but he must also be slightly reserved and maintain the composure of an elite man.

"Is everything clear now?" Nakagawa asked, looking at Sakamoto Yu.

"No problem." Sakamoto Yu nodded.

At this point, the staff had already put up a white blackout cloth in front of the camera to reduce the intensity of the sunlight.

Sakamoto Yu sat back in the driver's seat, and Asakagawa gave him a hand gesture, indicating that he was ready to start at any time.

Upon seeing this, Nakagawa raised the megaphone and focused his gaze on the monitor.

"All departments, prepare! — Action!"

As filming began, Sakamoto Yu gripped the steering wheel with both hands, leaned back, and pretended to be driving.

His expression was tense, and he exuded the cold aura of an elite man.

He exudes a powerful sense of asceticism on camera.

His lips were pressed into a thin line, and his eyes were fixed straight ahead.

The camera cuts to Sakamoto Yu shifting gears, releasing the clutch, and pressing the accelerator, implying that the car's speed is gradually increasing.

Sakamoto Yu's eyes changed.

He gradually became more restrained, suppressing his inner urge to seek excitement.

The camera then pans to another scene, showing the car shifting gears again, and the speed continues to increase.

Sakamoto Yu's lips began to curl slightly upwards, and the audience could almost feel his adrenaline boiling over.

He deliberately controlled his facial expressions, conveying his emotions through only a tiny detail.

Behind the monitor, Nakagawa looked at the man on the screen, his brows furrowed, deeply captivated.

Nakagawa believes that the awe-inspiring presence displayed by Sakamoto Yu will greatly enhance the sense of identification among male audiences.

Many women might even like it.

That dangerous yet alluring aura is perfectly suited to this volatile economic era.

Filming continued, and the PVC spray pipes on the roof of the vehicle began spraying water, while the blower started working, blowing up large swaths of fallen leaves.

A violent storm followed, and later on, thunder will be added to the background.

The camera moved from the front to the left diagonal side.

The classic pop-up headlights rose, and the windows slowly rolled down.

Some water droplets spilled in, and the wind blew the stray hairs on his forehead.

Whether it was due to poor wind control or excessive water spray, Sakamoto Yu could clearly feel the water droplets hitting his face with greater force.

Even on the monitor, it was clear that the water blown in had soaked their clothes.

This situation is clearly abnormal; the wind and water volume are set precisely, and such a sudden change is impossible.

However, no one from Sakamoto Yu heard a call to stop.

He had no choice but to continue acting.

Just as he was concentrating, bursts of water were swept up by the wind and splashed onto his face, even soaking his left arm.

Sakamoto Yu's expression froze for a moment.

The icy water slid down his cheeks and onto his clothes. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but the shout to stop still didn't come.

It's normal for unexpected situations to occur on set. Since the director didn't say anything, Sakamoto Yu had no choice but to handle it himself.

He quickly came up with a solution.

He wiped the water off his cheeks with the back of his hand, then used his wet hand to gather his hair back, instantly changing his hairstyle from a middle part to a wet side part.

As his appearance changed, the restrained look in his eyes softened slightly, his expression turning cold and fierce, and his whole being exuded a wild and untamed arrogance.

The unexpected incident was defused by Sakamoto Yu with a swift and skillful move, turning the performance into a high-speed chase, exhilaratingly catching the wind in one's face.

"Okay! Click, this one's passed."

Finally, the sound of Nakagawa calling "cut" came from the set.

The entire scene was filmed over nine minutes, but in the official video, this segment only lasts for less than eight seconds.

As soon as Sakamoto Yu opened the car door, Ono Hitomi and the makeup artist rushed over.

He took the dry towel, wiped the water off his face, and then closed his eyes, letting the makeup artist touch up his makeup.

The assistant had another suit ready, waiting for him to change into it.

"A really strong gust of wind suddenly blew up the mountain just now, are you alright?" Hitomi Ono asked softly. She couldn't afford to catch a cold in Sakamoto-ya right now. "How are you feeling now?"

Sakamoto Yu closed his eyes, waved his hand, and indicated that he was alright.

After touching up her makeup, Sakamoto Yu took off her coat. Fortunately, the coat was thick enough that the water didn't seep in.

Only a drop or two of water slipped into the collar.

After changing into dry clothes, I felt much more comfortable.

Sakamoto looked up and saw Nakagawa waving at him, so he quickly went over.

"You handled the accident very well."

Nakagawa's tone was neither loud nor soft, revealing no emotion, but his praise was genuine. Sakamoto Yu remained calm and continued listening.

This scene caught Nakagawa's eye, and he nodded to himself. This performance and attitude had surpassed many of the younger generation. At this point, he had almost forgotten about Higashiyama Noriyuki and no longer compared him to him. Sakamoto Yu was such a great actor.

"Next, we'll be filming footage of you navigating a series of curves. Tell me about your driving habits on that curve we just passed, so we can set up the camera."

Originally, this scene was to be performed by stunt drivers; GG would not have shown any footage of actors driving themselves.

The scenes that Sakamoto Yu just filmed were intended to connect to the car chase scene on the curves.

Since Sakamoto Yu was able to take the stage himself, Nakagawa changed the script on the spot and added a scene of Sakamoto Yu driving.

"Front and side cameras will obstruct the view, so we should minimize them. We could arrange for a cameraman to film from the passenger seat..."

Nakagawa listened quietly and agreed to all of Sakamoto Yu's requests, after all, safety came first.

After a ten-minute discussion, Nakagawa decided to film simultaneously: one side would only film a distant view of the car driving around a bend, while the other side would film Sakamoto Yu controlling the car from inside.

Once the details were finalized, filming continued.

Sakamoto Yu got back into the car, turned the key all the way, started the engine, and the VG30ET engine jolted violently, producing a familiar low growl.

Some of the less experienced staff members perked up, still vivid in their minds the exciting cornering scene they had just witnessed.

Several staff members immediately moved to a corner where they wouldn't interfere with filming, climbed over the railing, and secured a good spot to watch it again.

The assistant director didn't stop them, as long as it didn't affect filming.

Driving the Fairlady Z31 Turbo, I cruised down the slope to the intersection.

At a stable idle speed, the engine sound becomes a deep, resonant "thump-thump".

Several cameramen carrying tripods rushed over and set up their equipment at a high point on the outside of the bend.

Predict vehicle routes using large-aperture prime and zoom lenses to capture key moments when entering and exiting curves.

An Arriflex 16BL film camera was installed on the inside of each door and on the windshield.

Sakamoto-ya waited calmly for the signal.

With the signal from the assistant director, Sakamoto Yu began to shift gears.

The Fairlady Z31 Turbo let out a linear "whoosh" as it entered the corner at 30 km/h.

The entire crew kept their eyes glued to the car body.

Hitomi Ono also stood behind the railing, watching with concern.

The black phantom reappeared, gliding smoothly around the bends of the mountain road.

The cameras on the curves are always ready to capture every exciting moment as it navigates and exits the curves with precision.

Sakamoto Yu also had a great time, feeling the vibrations of the car chassis and the roar of the engine.

Before he could even react, the car had already completed a journey.
