A single phone call solved the problems encountered by Kamen Rider 555.

At this point, all the obstacles that affect the broadcast of Kamen Rider's new work have been removed. ANB and PD Neon Division have jointly announced that the first episode will be broadcast on Muyao Day next week.

The premiere is not visible......

ANB belongs to overseas TV stations, and Meng Lang can only wait for the online version to be broadcast, or the "Chinese version" introduced into China will premiere.

It's not a big problem, though!

A few days earlier or a few days later will not affect his confidence in Faiz and Qiaoye. Don't forget, this is Kamen Rider 555!

Shirakura Toshiki's golden partner, coupled with the cool Faiz gear, is it possible to miss?

Just wait for good news!

Compared to Kamen Rider's "Running Progress", Ultraman's new work is progressing very slowly.

It's been more than half a month since Dinah finished, and Gaia has just finished the early casting work. originally planned to resume work and start filming after the Spring Festival, but the actor was sick and delayed a lot of time.

And then it dragged on until now!

There are three main protagonists in Gaia, namely Gao Shan Meng, Teng Gong and Li Xue.

Yume Takayama, as one of the male protagonists, is also the human body of Ultraman Gaia. Since the casting process began, the crew has received numerous audition applications.

In the end, Meng Lang finalized actor Chen Wei.

Chen Wei is a rookie actor who has debuted for less than two years, and has previously starred in many TV series and won the Golden Finch Award for Best Rookie Actor.

There are two main reasons why Meng Lang chose him.

First, he has a sunny and cheerful personality, and his smile is very friendly and infectious. And there is no black material scandal in the circle, and the reviews are good!

The second is excellent acting skills!

It is also strange to say that Chen Wei won the gold medal in the Olympiad, had excellent results in the college entrance examination, and entered Zhonghai University to study mathematics. No matter how you look at it, this is the seedling of a "mathematician of the future".

As a result, he was not interested in mathematics!

"I studied math because my father mandated it. He's a mathematician, and he wants me to carry on his mantle and fulfill his unattainable dream, the Fields Medal!"

Talking about the past, Chen Wei seemed very painful: "When I was in my third year of high school, he was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Finally, in the first semester of his freshman year, he passed away due to illness. ”

"He told me before he left, he's sorry for me, and he's never going to force me to study math that I don't like...... Since then, I have stayed away from mathematics. ”

Chen Wei's contact with acting career was initially an accident.

The drama club of Zhonghai University rehearsed a new show, and Chen Wei's roommate had temporary diarrhea, so he asked him to go to a play......

Everyone can guess the story after that.

The unique experience gave Chen Wei a different temperament. Even if he didn't put on a white coat and glasses, he still had a unique atmosphere of "scientific research".

Therefore, Meng Lang chose him.

As for the other protagonist, Teng Gong, it is even more bizarre. He is the guitarist of the V6 boy group and the teammate of Tiga human body Gu Miao? Gao Cheng, who is good at dancing!

There is another story that has to be mentioned about this guy.

After the fire in Tiga, Meng Lang formed the "V6" male idol group on a whim? Popular all over the country for a while? There are so many fans that it explodes.

In order to expand his influence, by the way, he made more money for Mr. Meng.

After the V6 group was formed? Commercial performance endorsements received soft hands. Every day is either a performance or on the way to the performance location.

One of them? There are also neon.

When the V6 group heads to Neon for a show? It just so happened that Bai Cang's guy also went to the party. After all, is it a PD family? It's normal for him to go to a show.

Bai Cang went to the scene? Unexpectedly, I found that these six young people are all sunny and handsome! It's a waste not to act!

Thereupon? He warmly invited Gu Miao, Gao Cheng and others to visit the crew of "Kamen Rider Dragoon".

Just about? Dragoon was missing a "Kamen Rider Raia" actor at that time.

So after discussion, Gao Cheng played the role of "Tezuka Umiyuki", leaving a knight legend in Neon that "my divination is very accurate" and "fate can be changed......

Originally!

The actor that Bai Cang admires is Gu Miao, but Gu Miao has already played the protagonist of Tiga, and let him make a cameo appearance in Dragoon? It will inevitably cause controversy among the audience.

So a compromise!

After excluding Gu Miao, Gao Cheng, the second handsome man in the V6 group, got this role.

Gao Cheng's performance in the Dragon Riding TV drama conquered a lot of fans, and also conquered Meng Lang.

After learning that he wanted to participate in Gaia, Meng Lang simply agreed to him.

Anyway, Ultraman and Kamen Rider are playing each other, not once or twice. Kamen Rider Raia and Aguru are not core characters, so there is no problem with cameos.

Finally, the heroine Li Xue!

Li Xue's character prototype is the original Sasaki Dunzi. She is played by Li Xueqing, a member of the "Miracle Girl" group.

I said it was good!

The three members of the Miracle Girl play the heroines of the "Heisei Sanjie". Zhu Yuchen played Lina, Hu Qi played Liang, and Dunzi was naturally Li Xueqing.

If you can't use the name of the original version, then simply give a Chinese name. Just change the real name of "Li Xueqing" to "Li Xue".

One thing in particular is interesting!

Ultraman in the Showa period, from the first generation to Eddie, the origin of the human body actor can be called "wonderful".

Meng Heizhu, courier, villain professional, corpse professional, model, holster actor, rural teacher......

The heroines are all professional actors.

In the era of Tiga, Dinah and Gaia, the origin of Ultraman's human actors has changed in a different style.

Men's team, gyro warriors, men's group!

The heroine is from the same girl group!

Boy!

Immediately entered the era of men's and women's groups!

For Meng Lang, this law is pure coincidence. But for the audience, this must be Uncle Meng's bad taste!

"It's not a bad taste!"

Meng Lang said forcefully: "It's a coincidence! I didn't think about it so much when I chose the actors, I used them when I thought it was suitable, who ......knows?"

Who knew it was such a coincidence?

For his explanation, fans generally scoffed.

How can there be so many coincidences in the world? The origin of the human body actor must be a deliberate "fetter".

"Believe it or not!"

After repeating it a few times, everyone still didn't believe it, and Meng Lang didn't bother to explain.

Say what you love!

Anyway, there is no problem with the actors he chooses, and there is no problem with the dramas he films. Even if it's intentional, the audience won't care about this kind of detail.

Gaia is on!

The New Year hasn't passed yet, and the temperature is still touching. In order to take care of the actors, most of the scenes filmed in the early stage were "indoor scenes" and "holster scenes".

Indoor drama is relatively simple!

The actor memorizes the lines by heart, and the action and expression are in place.

Unless it is a particularly important scene, Meng Lang will not shout "one more guarantee", usually to save time over and over again.

The difficulty lies in the holstery!

As mentioned earlier, Gaia's fights are distinctive. The dispute between Aguru and Gaia is also a major difficulty in the design of the fight.

Why is it so difficult?

Aguru and Gaia are both protagonists, they are fighting, who are you going to make deflated?

Moreover, the fight design of Ultraman's confrontation, PD experience is too little. After all, before that, they had only designed a fight between "Evil Ultraman" and "Fake Ultraman" against the real Ultraman.

Two real Ultramans fight each other?

I'm sorry, but this experience is really not much.

Fortunately, Mu Jie, the martial artist of this play, is an old comrade who has followed Meng Lang for many years and has rich experience in fight design.

After Meng Lang made specific requests, he quickly came up with a solution and completed the fight design.

Gaia isn't filming and broadcasting!

Therefore, the shooting plan will be temporarily adjusted according to the scene and people. The order of filming will not be exactly according to the script.

For example......

After the filming of the first indoor scene, it was the turn of the indoor scene and leather scene of the final battle of the finale.

Gaia's final boss is called [Root Destruction Summoning Body], which is an "extraordinary" monster with no exact form.

And the angel Zorg is just a name for its embodied form.

Zog has two forms!

One is the "angel" form, which is also the most impressive form for everyone. The other is the "Demon Bird" form, which is also the main combat form.

Angel Zog, Meng Lang intends to use "pure special effects" to design. There are no holsters, and the fights are all based on special effects synthesis.

And the magic bird Zog has a holster!

In the case of a holster, the fight is naturally a combination of "hand-to-hand combat" + "special effect lighting".

But there's a catch!

Zorge's set height is not only taller than Gatanjee, but even taller than Queen Monera! Aguru and Gaia are not much bigger than their toes in front of her.

What's the matter?

Gatanjee's holster, which requires four people to move, can turn. Queen Monera's holster is inflatable, so it looks huge.

Can Zog still do that?

The answer is no!

Whether it's inflatable or scaffolding, it's probably not so easy to make an equal proportion of height.

So after discussion, Meng Lang gave up the idea of "equal proportional height". Zog's holster is only 2.25 meters tall, making it indistinguishable from a normal monster.

In order to reflect Ultraman's insignificance, advanced CG special effects were used in the design of this scene. In other words, there is only Zog in this fight scene, and there is no Gaia and Aguru.

Gaia and Agujou, filming the fight under a green screen on Studio 1, and Zog on Stage 2.

After the filming of the two scenes, the special effects team reduced the height of Gaia and Aguru and combined them with Zorge's scenes......

Armageddon is done!

The principle is simple to say, but it is problematic to implement.

Fortunately, the PD special effects artist also experienced a lot of big scenes, stayed up all nights for a week, and finally made an amazing effect.

At this point, the ending is finished.

It's the beginning of the school year!

Meng Lang's Gaia is still being filmed intensively, and Shi Sen's Alienated Girl 2 has been completed and is in post-editing.

He glanced at the dailies.

I have to say that although Shi Sen hasn't filmed for three or four years, the foundation is still there after all. The quality of this alienated girl 2 is no worse than its predecessor.

Even better than its predecessor!

The idea of "Alienated Girl" comes from Balala Little Demon Fairy, which tells the story of an ordinary girl who accidentally comes into contact with alien creatures outside the sky and fights against the black magic fairy who is constantly doing evil.

The plot of the previous work ended with Sakura destroying the black magic fairy's lair, resurrecting from the dead and fighting the three-legged black crow, and finally achieving victory.

And the story of this work also unfolds from this.

The protagonist of "Alien Girl 2" is still Sakura, but with a new young actor.

She's a high school student!

After destroying the Black Demon Immortal's lair and saving the world. She chose to return to campus and live an ordinary and fulfilling life.

Until an experiment begins!

When Sakura fought against the three-legged crow, she was collected by someone to collect "alien cells". The chaebols, who are eager for "immortality" and "superpowers", secretly launched research on "alienated cells".

The experiment can be said to have been successful!

They kidnapped a group of young girls and forcibly implanted "improved" alienated cells, causing them to mutate and gain unimaginable vitality.

But a strong vitality also represents a strong destructive force. The "mutant girl" who lost control and destroyed the laboratory......

The experiment is out of control, and the mutant girl who has lost her "humanity" uses improved alien cells to attack humans in order to develop her companions.

The story begins with Sakura's "Forest of Light" junior high school, a bizarre disappearance......

Sakura's boy at the same table, his girlfriend, who had just been dating for less than three days, suddenly fell ill and took a leave of absence, and he hasn't come to school for a week.

He decided to investigate one or two!

As a good friend, Sakura is not at ease and decides to accompany him to visit the girl's house.

The doorbell rang, but no one answered.

The same table climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and Sakura had no choice but to follow. After entering the house through the window, the two were shocked.

The ground was covered with dried blood!

And the amazing scratches left by fingernails scratching the floor......

Around this incident, Sakura discovers the missing girl. Unfortunately, the girl seems to have become a monster, not only with superpowers but also extremely aggressive.

After a great fight, Sakura finally defeated the other party. After getting the other party back to normal through alienation devouring, Sakura learns the truth.

"Mutated girl?"

"Yes...... Yes, they call themselves witches and have incredible superpowers!"

"What do they want to do?"

"I don't know, I just happened to hear their conversation. After it was discovered, it lost its memory......"

This is the story of the first episode!

Although he only watched one episode, and it was still a rough cut of the sample, Meng Lang already knew the development of the whole story well.

If he guessed correctly!

The follow-up story should be the confrontation between Sakura and the witch. According to the traditional conventions of unit dramas, this is the main plot line.

In each episode, or in every plot unit, there should be a witch with different abilities. For a similar pattern, you can refer to Ultraman or Kamen Rider.

All in all, very good script.

Ishimori is worthy of being the "father of Kamen Rider", and no matter where he goes, he can't forget the setting of "friend and foe are of the same origin".

Mutant Girl VS Alienated Girl!

The setting of the same origin as friend and foe can be called the biggest highlight of this work, followed by the setting of "witch".

A witch is an alienated girl!

Essentially, the villain witch in the play is the same kind of person as the protagonist Sakura.

Merely......

Sakura is a perfect alienation, she is not controlled by alienated cells!And this group of witches is at most an alienated half-finished product of "failed experiments".

They have been manipulated by alien cells, and have lost their qualifications as human beings, and have become complete monsters!
