You Asked Me to Film Tokusatsu, So Why Am I Tearing Monsters Apart on Set?

[Behind-the-scenes story + tokusatsu nostalgia + hardcore recreations + brutal beauty]

In a parallel world where tokusatsu culture has fallen into a void and bad movies are everywhere, Lu Jingming only wanted to keep his head down and work as a special-effects director. Instead, the System forcibly threw him into one real monster battlefield after another.

To capture the epic grandeur of Ultraman Tiga, he sprinted for his life beneath Golza, filming the most realistic first-person view of a plane crash;

To recreate the tragic heroism of Kamen Rider Kuuga, he gritted his teeth through the pain and charged into battle, taking a deadly Gurongi blow meant for Yusuke Godai;

And when making Puella Magi Madoka Magica, he was even forced to put on a battle outfit covered in lace, then hammer a Witch into mincemeat with Baji Quan while sobbing in despair!

In the real world, audiences everywhere and Hollywood studios watched the flawless fluid dynamics, realistic structural responses from the buildings, and bone-crunching impact of every blow, and collectively went wild.

A famous Hollywood director said, “The material of that monster suit, the lighting! How much did he spend to get effects like these?!”

Lu Jingming rubbed the shoulder that had just been grazed by a monster and faced the camera guiltily:

“Oh, it was nothing. It’s all thanks to shooting on location and making good props.”
