There are a lot of classic episodes of Jack.

In addition to "Unforgivable Life", there is also "Monster Messenger and Boy", one of Showa's three major problem works.

This is a drama that exposes the ugliness of human nature.

A Metz star from the universe, the spaceship crash-landed on the earth, and after sealing the monster, he saved the earth boy Liang, and the two got along with father and son day and night. Due to the pollution and erosion of the earth, the Metz people are getting weaker and weaker, and they need to return to their homeland as soon as possible.

In order to help him, Liang excavates the spaceship buried in the ground every day. Because of his abnormal behavior, he was suspected of being an alien by the children and adults around him, and was bullied.

After Xiang Xiushu learned the truth, he decided to help Liang and the Metz people. But the surrounding residents were worried, saying, "What if even the MAT team members don't help us, what will the aliens do evil?"

So, they decided to strike first. While the aliens haven't done any damage yet, get rid of the threat in advance. They caught Liang, and the Metz people didn't want Liang to be hurt, so they took the initiative to show up and shouted, "Let him go!

Shots rang out, and the Metz were shot.

The Metz people are dead, and the monsters he sealed away are free. People dispersed, and some people shouted, "What are you doing stupidly standing there with MAT over there?"

This is the first time that Xiang Xiushu has refused to transform.

He had the idea of "abandoning the mission", if this is the kind of human being, what is the need to protect it?

But under Zofie's awakening, he still gritted his teeth and transformed into Ultraman Jack and eliminated the monster in one fell swoop.

The irony of this episode is so spicy that even children can reflect on it, not to mention adults. As a classic series of Showa O, Tsuburaya also made a sequel to this story in Mebius.

Ultraman in the Showa period was filled with a large number of screenwriters' ideological connotations about "environmental protection", "anti-war", "human nature" and "good and evil". In terms of plot alone, it can be called the pinnacle of "fantasy special effects" dramas.

This is Tsuburaya!

You can scold him for not being angry and loving to die, but when it comes to his attitude towards his works, Tsuburaya can definitely be called the conscience of the industry.

To take the simplest example, the same Showa works. Guiman and the first work of "Kamen Rider" in the same period, can the level of special effects be compared?

Special effects aside, let's just talk about the soundtrack that is easy to overlook. Guiman invited Dongmu To, is "The Song of Uncle Wang" poor? The knight music of the same period, except for the opening song, the interlude basically has no sense of existence.

Is it better than the opening song?

"Song of Severn" to find out!

From the music, you can see how attentive Tsuburaya is. Of course, this is not to disparage the knights. The work is excellent, but Aunt Dong picks the door!

Speaking of which, "The Song of Uncle Wang" is also magical. A song played from Showa to Heisei and runs through more than a dozen Ultraman works, which can be called the "cameo king" of the Ultra music industry.

There are countless versions!

Although it has been adapted many times, as long as the familiar melody sounds, the audience can laugh out loud, and Uncle Wang is here to make a cameo appearance in Xinao again!

This song was born during the Guiman period, and it is the team song written by Toru Fuyuki for the "MAT Team". Probably Tsuburaya and the audience like it, so the appearance rate is extremely high.

This classic single, Meng Lang can't copy it too easily, after all, it's over if you keep saying "Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang"!

It's all the same tune anyway!

This is the "first choice for cost performance"! Spend money to make a song, and you can use it countless times in retrospect, it's just a good money!

Besides, it doesn't cost much.

About half a year ago, Pengda Film and Television took a stake in "Li Tianming Music Studio", accounting for as much as 62% of the shares! Although it is necessary to give money, it is definitely cheaper to turn the left hand into the right hand!

Spending money on music production is a trivial matter. I am most afraid that the money will be spent, but I will not be able to achieve satisfactory results.

Fortunately, the requirements for special effects dramas are low!

As long as you make a good tune, you can change many variations in no time, which is enough to meet your needs. Especially the Ultraman soundtrack, as long as you listen carefully, the tunes are actually the same, but with different arrangements.

Jack's soundtrack, which is expected to be completed in May. Before that, Meng Lang needed to complete Jack's "transformation" special effect.

Transformation shots are hard to shoot!

Because you need to think about how to use the existing "transformer" to design a satisfactory effect. Then find a way to use the existing means to achieve the design blueprint.

Jack's transformer is a bracelet!

The transformation step is roughly to raise your left hand and stroke the bracelet with your right hand so that the red gemstone is facing the camera. The red gem emits light, and the shapeshifter is bathed in the light, and his left hand is raised to look up at the sky, and the camera cuts to Jack appearing on the stage.

This transformation is quite simple!

At least it's simpler than the new generation, after all, the transformation process of the new generation, even if you teach it by hand, you may not be able to learn it.

It's still comfortable for the seniors!

No matter what the transformer is, pick it up and use it, without having to play a set of "military body punches" and chant any strange "spells".

The coolest is definitely the Showa hooligans.

Especially the original Showa Ao, except for the Beidou transformation is more troublesome, everyone else is quite neat.

You can take a look at the super eight transformation, the three brothers wait until their hair is gray, and Beidou's transformation is not over yet......

Meng Lang likes the transformation of knights very much.

Especially the Heisei Knights!

He even felt that the essence of Heisei Knight lies in the transformation of all kinds of bells and whistles. Maybe many people watch knights, they don't care about what the plot says, they just rush to transform to watch.

Chonghuang's transformation made the audience wet!

But like to like, Jack's transformation method must not be done like this. Let's not talk about anything else, where did Jack go to find 20 seniors?

Let's play with the bracelet honestly!

The super bracelet has been strengthened by "Meng Zai", and now the level of bugs has skyrocketed. If even the transformation is handsome, then won't he become the son of PD?

No, it has to be weakened!

The way to cut Jack is naturally to cut off his transformation funds. Not to mention becoming ugly and dirty, at least it must look "mediocre".

Just give the light effect!

There is not even a blur of the background, and the gemstone sparkle is the effect of a "flashlight". Morph light effects are cheap light particles, and the giant effect is captured by the camera "from far to near".

Not to mention, it's awesome when synthesized!

Don't be disgusted, although you want to save money, you don't sacrifice quality. This kind of trick was learned from Tsuburaya, how can the effect be bad!

And it's been transformed more than once!

There are also many transformation shots, especially the very special transformations, the effect is definitely different.

And it can be improved later.

After editing, add a little glare and increase the brightness. Anyway, it's a one- or two-second shot, and it doesn't cost much to fill it all up.

This is not a movie!

If it was a theatrical version, Jack's transformation would definitely be better. But TV dramas, limited by the clarity of TV, there is no need to be too fine.
