Chapter 849: Starlight Warrior
The ten-meter-high monster holster, if you really want to make it, there are only two solutions available.
The first plan, inflatable!
The principle is actually the same, inflate most of the space, so that the holster reaches an astonishing height, and at the same time the cost is not too high.
Another scheme, scaffolding!
The scheme commonly used in construction sites is erected inside the holster to act as a core skeleton to support the huge monster holster without falling loose.
Besides!
There is another method that can also meet Meng Lang's requirements, and this is also a commonly used solution in the industry - digital special effects!
Of course, the use of special effects will cause the budget to skyrocket, and the effect presented by the special effects is actually not very good-looking, and the action is not easy to design.
How so......
It's the power of habit!
Abuse of special effects can lead to serious "light pollution". In the eyes of the audience, in addition to the light or light, the importance of "physical skills" cannot be presented at all.
Ultraman's physical skills and light are not weak.
deliberately emphasizing light and ignoring the importance of "physical skills", for Meng Lang, it is better to build a leather case.
It's not that hard anyway!
Of course, Queen Monera can do this, and the subsequent Zog Angels can do the same. These monsters all have "entities".
Like "Shadow Mage", it's better to use special effects.
"The inflatable type is easier to store and less expensive, so we use this solution. And of course, stay safe when shooting!"
Meng Lang eventually adopted the inflatable type.
This is the best choice, the holster can be deflated and can be stored and used later, so as not to become a "disposable" product. If you use scaffolding, you won't be able to use it again.
The ten-meter holster is solved!
The rest of the work, apart from scheduling actors, is hardly difficult.
After all, everyone is an old man.
Ultraman, who has been filming with Mr. Meng for so many years, knows what to do to present a perfect effect.
But Wang Kun was a little anxious.
His first time making a big movie, his understanding of "movies" was not clear enough, and he often used the way of "acting in TV series" to act in movies, which made Meng Lang very angry.
"There's something wrong with this man's mind!"
Meng Lang glanced at Kun Kun, who was silent, and said to Li Wanbo beside him: "What's the use of being in a hurry? With this time in a daze, it's better to think about how to remedy it......
"Boss, don't scold him. ”
Li Wanbo said kindly: "Xiao Wang is still very good, these days when he is resting, he often comes to me with the script for advice." As long as the attitude is correct, let's teach him slowly. ”
Comparisons are odious!
It was also the first time to make a movie and the first time to play the leading role. Gu Miao, a great ancient actor, is much stronger than Wang Kun, and he can understand everything a little bit, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Perhaps this is the difference between a "talented" actor and a "hardworking" actor!
Wang Kun's status is not online, and there are many NG times in the early stage, which leads to delays in the filming schedule. Fortunately, he adjusted his state in time and mastered the trick of film acting, and Meng Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
Tell the truth!
Meng Lang is not good at training actors.
Whether it's a talented type or a hard-working type, as long as you don't act well, you will scold him.
Sometimes, his megaphone can wake up the actors and make them get back in shape, and sometimes it doesn't work after scolding for a long time.
At this time, you can only look at the actors themselves.
The director is not good at training actors, so he can't give them the "right medicine". If you want to get out of the quagmire, you can only rely on your own groping.
Fortunately, although Kunkun has no talent, he understands the truth of "diligence can make up for clumsiness", and his progress is getting bigger and bigger day by day......
"Starlight Warrior" saved Tsuburaya's film business, and with such a meritorious work, the script will naturally not be bad.
The first scene is on the moon.
Dinah is battling a monster and is about to fight back when a massive space battleship suddenly appears and uses a laser cannon to take out the monster.
This is the beginning of a dream!
Asuka looked at the Prometheus, which was manufactured by TPC and could be called a "fortress of war", and then thought of its record of smashing monsters with one shot, and fell silent.
Upon returning to Earth, a "highly ironic" peace conference was held.
At the meeting called "Peace", the person in charge, Staff Officer Gondo, led the people of the Super Victory Team to visit a secret arsenal.
Here they met not only the Prometheus, but also the military power that the TPC had been secretly developing.
Asuka is tricked into the test chamber, where he not only sees a series of battles from the past, but also sees the Prometheus attacking him and Dinah being torn apart by a laser cannon.
"No! Dinah will never lose!"
Saying this, but the bird covered in cold sweat still revealed the fact that he was afraid of the Prometheus.
This incident left a deep shadow on him.
Subsequently, Lu Ruyue, the person in charge of the arsenal, exposed the fact that he was possessed by the Monera Star Man, drove the Prometheus, transformed into a machine demon god, and used the collected battle data of Dinah to easily defeat Dinah.
"Goodbye, Dinah!"
This defeat, combined with the shadow left before, has destroyed Asuka's high morale. He began to doubt himself and fell into a situation of "being overwhelmed".
Follow the tokusatsu routine......
Usually when the protagonist encounters this situation, there are always one or two children who stand up and enlighten the protagonist and lead him to the right path.
Of course, it may not be a child.
For example, in the Tiga TV drama, after Dagu was snatched away by Keigo Masaki, it was "a dog Guydy" who enlightened him and made him regain his strength.
Asuka also meets a young boy.
The little boy wore a "SuperGUTS" jersey and encouraged the sluggish Asuka and showed him a "faded" Tiga doll.
"If it's Tiga, what should I do?"
Asuka looked at the Tiga doll and suddenly wondered why Tiga was so powerful. He found the former captain of Megumi Takashu and asked to see Tiga.
But the captain told him that Tiga was not strong, and the reason why he was able to defeat strong enemies was also because of the strength of humans.
Asuka looked at the group photo of all the members of the Victory Team standing on the deck of the Artetis, thoughtful.
The Machine Demon God has reappeared.
Asuka shatters his fears and blasts away the Max cannon with one punch, defeating the Machine Demon God.
As Dinah flew into the sky to the cheers of the crowd and left, the flying saucer of the Monera suddenly appeared, releasing a tentacle to grab him.
Then, Queen Monera appeared!
Dinah was trapped, her eyes darkened, and the timer on her chest stopped flickering. The people who had just celebrated their victory in the shelter were once again in despair.
"My brother used to be a light and fought with Tiga......"
The words that the little boy said to Lu Ruyue seemed to awaken everyone's dusty memories. It was many years ago, and they became light and merged into the Tiga body to fight with him.
In the hands of a little boy.
The faded Tiga doll suddenly emitted a golden light, and people slowly stood up, as if they had returned to many years ago, and they had turned into light again.
The light converged in one place, and in front of the tall and mighty Queen Monera, the former hero was condensed - Ultraman Tiga!
This paragraph is simply full of memories.
During the filming on the set, the scene reporter had just finished playing, and without Meng Lang's dispatch and command, every extras in the shelter shouted "Tiga" in unison.
This is not a script!
This is not a pre-designed scene, but a "stroke of genius" created by the group performers. They had all seen Tiga and confronted Gatanjea's fears......
That's why they shouted this sentence.
"It's kind of interesting!"
Meng Lang, who was squatting behind the monitor, nodded with satisfaction.
Although he hates that actors don't act according to the script, and do some small actions on their own. But he is not averse to this kind of improvisation, which can be called the "finishing touch".
So this paragraph, he decided to keep.
The reappearance of Tiga completely changed the tide of the war. He not only rescued Dinah, but also lent the "power bank" he brought to his second brother.
Speaking of which, there's a famous meme.
Ultraman TV dramas, especially theatrical versions, often design a bridge where one Ultraman is trapped and other Ultramans come to the rescue.
For example, Tiga was saved by the first generation in "Ultra Star", Dinah was saved by Tiga in "Starlight Warrior", and Xiaomeng was saved by Jack Ace in Super Bali......
This kind of scene of saving brothers is not only liked by Tsuburaya, but also by the audience.
Generally, after saving people, you have to go through an "Ultra process".
The so-called Ultra process is that the rescued Ao turned his head and asked the eldest brother: "Did you bring a power bank?"
The eldest brother nodded: "Bring it!"
Then he raised his hand and sent the energy to the rescued Ultraman.
This process can be described as a famous scene.
Just like Gaia's debut, everyone likes to send "Earth Breaker" and "Landing Full Score" in the barrage. When Ultraman sends energy, everyone also likes to play the "power bank" stalk.
Of course, the power bank is just a joke.
In fact, Ultraman is basically "retired" to send energy to newcomers.
Take this one as an example!
Diga appeared and brought together the light of the people. So his current state is similar to half a SanDisk, and "infinite energy" is basically standard. After all, there are so many humans behind him to provide him with light, and the lack of energy is a joke.
So give it to Dinah a little bit and sprinkle it with water!
If you have to talk about power bank, the human body of OB in the whole process is the biggest power bank. Directly fill the power of Tiga, and by the way, you can also fill a Dyna, which is simply a bug without a solution.
There's a good saying!
Di Dai is infinitely stronger, and the three heroes are 100 times stronger!
So who is dragging its feet, needless to say? There is no earth destroyer, and Di Dai has a double row, and he easily killed Queen Monera.
Worth noting!
In this battle, Dinah used a very rare and rare SSR-level "Charged Soljet Ray".
"Asuka-san, why do you want to charge up? This doesn't quite look like your combat style, isn't it a proxy number?"
"Ah......h
"The eldest brother is all accumulated, if I don't wait for him for a while, won't it seem that the eldest brother is very embarrassed and faceless?"
[Ace likes it]
It doesn't matter if you charge up or not. You dog fans, don't think about Dinah. The eldest brother came all the way to the rescue, didn't he give some face?
Now it's the theater version of Dinah, even if you don't give face, the eldest brother can only hold back if he is unhappy. What about the theatrical version after that? Aren't you afraid that the big brother will wear small shoes for you?
Behave...... Ah no, you must be sensible to be an Ao!
Ao, who doesn't pay attention to things, only cares about his own handsomeness, and doesn't take care of the feelings of his predecessors and juniors at all, can't mix in the Olympic world.
Don't believe me, look at Shikari!
This guy develops plug-ins every day, making trouble for the second generation of Brother Ao, and it's not too much to say that he is the biggest ghost in the country of light, who still takes him to play with now?
I haven't played in years!
Deserve!
With an earth-shattering explosion, the figures of Dinah and Tiga turned into light particles and disappeared, and "Starlight Warrior", which can be called a milestone in Tsuburaya's film history, finally came to an end.
This is an undoubted masterpiece!
In the theatrical version of Sanjie, some people may like "The Final Holy War", and some people prefer "Chrono War......
But no matter what, "Starlight Warrior" will always be a miracle in the history of Tsuburaya films, and a masterpiece of Heisei series movies.
Starlight Warrior was released in 1998!
What movies did Tsuburaya make before that?
Revealing the full "atmosphere of poverty", "Ultra Story", which was ridiculed as "the poorest country of light", Saiwen OV, which has a small cost and small income, and "The ugliest cleanliness Ao" "Zaias", which is still ridiculed by Austrian fans.
This is the film work made by Tsuburaya before the Starlight Warrior appeared, do you think these have a future?
Keiichi Hasegawa, Kazuo Tsuburaya!
The decision of these two people completely changed the sluggishness of Tsuburaya's film business.
The success of "Starlight Warrior" also pointed the way for the subsequent "Chrono Wars" and "Final Holy War".
Everyone gets it!
It turns out that the Ultraman movie must be filmed like "Starlight Warrior", so that the audience will like it and the theater market will accept it.
This shows how special the status of the Starlight Warrior is.
Let's just say that......
The status of "Starlight Warrior" in the movie sequence of Tsuburaya is like the status of "Ultraman Tiga" in the history of Tsuburaya TV, which is a "turning point in changing one's life against the sky".
Without it, there might not be a race bunny.
As a loyal Austrian fan, Meng Lang recognizes the original "Starlight Warrior". Similarly, he is also optimistic about the future prospects of the PD version of "Starlight Warrior".
I dare not say that the box office is over one billion.
After all, in the current film market, the audience's taste is different. Starlight warriors may not be able to fight their way out of the encirclement.
But......
Earn back your costs!
Meng Lang is very chicken thief to launch a "Tiga figure", faded and paint limited! Maybe you can buy it, it is the same style as the movie boy, you can summon Tiga!
"When did the paint fade and become a selling point? Is there really a fool to buy this kind of defective product?" Ma Teng, who came to visit the class, was very puzzled.
"Hello, yes!"
Meng Lang smiled and explained, "Don't doubt that the children's desire to become light. What's wrong with the paint falling off and fading? Maybe you can buy it and you can turn it into light?"
"Then forget it......"
Ma Teng sneered: "If you can really turn into light, you won't sell it so cheaply." ”
Wit, Ma Teng!
