Chapter 678: Empty Me Theater Version
As the first work in the Heisei Knight series, "Kamen Rider Sora" has achieved quite excellent results, and both Toei and Knight fans are very satisfied.
But there is one thing, regrettable.
Other knights have theatrical versions, but the empty self at the head of Heisei does not have an exclusive theatrical version......
There are many theories circulating on the Internet about the reason.
Some say that it is mainly a matter of funding. At the beginning of Heisei, Aunt Dong started a number of projects in one go, but the stall was too big and the funds couldn't keep up, which made the empty self theater version abortive.
It is also said that this is a problem with the leading actors. Oda Kirirang, who plays Yusuke Goshiro, doesn't want to continue to play the empty self.
It was also said that the producer Nariki Takadera was too procrastinating. Ajita has come out, and the empty self theatrical version has not yet been determined. As a result, Ajito's ratings exploded, and in that era when the importance of TV dramas was greater than the theatrical version, the empty self theatrical version was naturally forgotten......
The real reason is unknown.
Anyway, it dragged on to the end, and I did not make a theatrical version, which left fans with great regrets.
Meng Lang is a good person.
He thinks it's to connect the past and the next, or to make up for regrets. As the head of Heisei, the empty self should leave a theatrical version.
After all, it's a legacy.
Anyway, the actors in leather suits are ready-made, how much money can it cost to make a theatrical version? Even if the box office results are terrible, it can't be worse than the theatrical version filmed by Tsuburaya!
Presumably the script will be a little trickier......
But this problem is not serious, after all, the core villain "Wolf King" has long been determined. With just a few followers, the villain camp is formed.
Regarding the setting of the "Wolf King", he is the king of Gulangi, the previous one of Daguba (No. 0). It was rumored that he was the original boss of the empty self theatrical version.
Some people may be curious......
Since the wolf king was defeated by Daguba, it proves that his strength is not as good as Daguba. How can there be a theatrical version of the boss, which is not as strong as the TV drama boss?
That's wrong!
In most of the tokusatsu theatrical versions, the boss is stronger than the TV drama boss. But that doesn't mean that all theater bosses are strong.
As long as the story is full, the plot is vivid and the fights are enjoyable, even if the boss is a little weaker, it can be called a qualified theatrical version.
For example, the theatrical version of Ultraman Tiga "Ancient Resurrected Giants".
The BOSS Dark Demon God that appeared in this theatrical version, no matter how you look at it, is not as strong as Gatanjee in the TV series. But this does not affect the fact that the Dark Demon God becomes the boss of the theatrical version.
With a boss, there must be creeps.
The wolf king is the former "King of Gurangi", even if he is overturned by Daguba, it is normal to have a few loyal little brothers, right?
This creates a camp of villains.
On the decent side, you can follow the starring role of TV dramas. The main rider is Yusuke of the fifth generation, and the second rider is a correspondent Kaoru ......
"If you can, add a three-rider!"
"Three...... Three rides?"
Bai Cang wondered: "I don't even have a co-rider, where is the third knight from?"
"Listen to me first......"
After interrupting Bai Cang's speech, Meng Lang clasped his hands and explained: "The performance of Life Form 4 has not been confirmed, which has attracted great attention from the police. In order to defend themselves against the unknown Guruni, they created a set of technological armor called the G3, which resembles the empty self. ”
"Then is this a new knight?" In the video call, Bai Cang was full of puzzlement.
Didn't he draft the plan for the new knight? Why did the president create a new knight and appear in the theater version of the empty me?
"New knights indeed!"
Meng Lang nodded and said, "However, this knight will appear in 2023!"
In 2023, the year after?
Hearing this, Bai Cang realized.
What does the president mean, presumably to make a sequel to the empty self after the end of the next knight TV drama?
"Not a sequel......"
Meng Lang rubbed his eyebrows and said: "How can I say it! In addition to the same world view, the plot setting is completely independent of the new work. ”
"Okay then......" Shirakura nodded blankly.
Anyway, it's only 2021, and it's still early in 2023. Instead of thinking about the future, it is better to think about how the plot of this theatrical version should unfold.
First of all, the theatrical version undertakes TV dramas.
After the defeat of Da Cuba, peace and tranquility returned to the world.
But behind the calm, an undercurrent is surging. It was not confirmed that the living form had reappeared, and many ordinary people were victimized, and the police were dispatched when they heard the news.
After arriving at the scene of the crime, Kaoru Ichijo has a premonition that something big is happening, and perhaps there are remnants of unidentified lifeforms left in the world.
The police attach great importance to it.
They wanted to find Yusuke Goshiro, but the goods were lost after reaching Cuba. In desperation, the police had no choice but to activate the emergency plan and began to imitate the empty self and study the scientific and technological armor G3 system.
This is linked to the plot......
The G3 system is a combat armor developed for Gulangi, and once successfully developed, it will pose a deadly threat to Gulangi. After receiving the news, the Wolf King sent someone to attack and kill the G3 armored researcher.
A number of researchers were killed, and in order to protect the Armored Research Institute, the police were on standby and sent a large number of police to protect the research institute.
The younger brother was injured, and the wolf king was dispatched.
As a wolf species, Gulangi, the wolf king possesses the power of the ultimate beast. Although in a sense, he can't beat the ultimate insect, but ordinary firepower really can't hurt him.
The institute has been penetrated!
Several researchers are victimized, and Sakurako hurriedly stores computer data in an effort to preserve a trace of fire. But then, one paw grabbed her, and the other reached for the USB stick.
"Alright, it's time to finish!"
At this critical moment, Yusuke Goshiro, who transformed into the all-powerful empty self, appeared and saved Sakurako, much to Kaoru Ichijo's relief.
After that, it's a decisive battle!
The plot is not complicated, and there are not too many twists and turns. From a structural point of view, it is about the length of 2-3 episodes of TV plots combined.
About 95+ minutes!
Not too long, not too short.
Considering that Bai Cang finished filming empty me, he had to continue filming Dragoon, and he couldn't spare time to shoot the theatrical version. After discussing the plot, Meng Lang asked about the candidate for the supervision of the film.
In this regard, Shirakura has a say.
After all, emptiness is his work, and no one knows emptiness better than him. If Meng Lang appoints a person, the effect is not very good.
So, he let Shirakura choose for himself.
As long as the person he recommends has no bad habits and excellent professionalism, then it is decided that it is him.
"I do have a candidate!"
Shirakura hesitated: "He is an assistant producer of Kura, and he previously worked in the TBS TV production department, where he was responsible for many criminal TV dramas......"
"Bridge bean sacks!"
Meng Lang popped out of Japanese and asked, "May I ask if the person you are talking about is surnamed Omori?"
"Ale?"
Bai Cang was stunned and said: "President, do you know him? No, he has only been in the company for less than half a year!"
Know, of course know......
Shin Omori, save Toei!
As a famous meme in the knightly world, how could he not know this person? Although this slogan has already collapsed in the late build.
But everyone admits that the ability of this goods to survive is no worse than that of Baicang!
