    A pretty good proposal to mock up Hong Kong in Tokyo! As Second has already mentioned, both cities certainly shares a lot of similarities as metropolises.
    The director, lighting supervisor, and director of photography will have to work closely together to re-create the city in another city through the construction of mood and atmosphere. Scouting the right locations around Tokyo is certainly important for the film, it is wonderful that you can include scenes like the vibrant neon signs. It would also be great to think about what kind of shooting techniques that can be utilised, for example, close-up shots to document activities, long shots to highlight the architecture of “Hong Kong”.
    The objective of the scriptwriter can contribute to skilfully avoid places that could possible “expose” Tokyo through the plot as described in your slide.
    The producer has a very detailed description at the three stages of production. They are crucial to create the Hong Kong-ness through different production decisions such as casting, selection of crew members etc.
    For the production designer, how does the Japanese flair contribute to the film? it would be interesting as a satirical element of the film.
    The visual effect director is important here because the proposal is to mock up Central in Tokyo. Since you have already noted that she is responsible for the unchangeable Tokyo-specific features, she is indispensable to employ special effects with green screens for certain scenes.
