Although Japan's cultural activities were in full swing at this time, Tang Ning didn't want to get involved, because he knew that this kind of bloody and courageous behavior could not achieve any results at all, and there was no need to put himself in it, so it was better to wait until the Red Army was in the Red Army, secretly fund it, and try to make things bigger, so at this time, Tang Ning hid in Okinawa and devoted his energy to the production of a special effects series like never before.

Since the success of "Astro Boy", Downing has tasted the sweetness of animated dramas, but there are too few good animation scripts, and even Osamu Tezuka's works cannot guarantee that every one will be a big hit, for example, the market response to the previously launched "Forest Emperor" is very average, and now there are many people who are grabbing the market with him, so Downing spent a lot of money last year to recruit a master, he is the god of special effects in the late Japanese period, Godzilla's shooting director, Eiji Tsuburaya pioneered the photography method of shooting with real people wearing prop costumes.

Originally, Eiji Tsuburaya became famous in Toho, but later Solo created his own Tsuburaya Co., Ltd., but unfortunately the management was not good, and the capital was almost lost, but he was embarrassed to return to his old club Toho, so he was hired by Tang Ning with a high salary, and promised to invest heavily in filming if there was a good work.

Tsuburaya Eiji didn't disappoint Tang Ning either, this time he took out the script, Tang Ning just glanced at the name and didn't even read the content before making a decision, because this script is too famous in the later stage, even more influential than Godzilla, this is the famous Ultraman!

Ultraman's influence on the post-80s and post-90s is self-evident, and there are many people in Japan and even adults who are very obsessed with the Ultraman series, compared with Godzilla, Ultraman is more suitable for children, after all, Godzilla's size is too big, and it is not humanoid. Ultraman has a standard humanoid body and is more handsome in his motor skills, so he is very popular with children.

Of course, at this time, the script that Eiji Tsuburaya came up with was not the Ultraman Tiga we see now, nor the original original Ultraman, but Ultraman Seven. For this script, in general, Tang Ning absolutely agrees, after all, this is a long-lived work that can be filmed for more than ten years or even decades, but the content of the script must be greatly changed.

So Tang Ning pondered for a moment and said to Eiji Tsuburaya: "Director Tsuburaya, I appreciate your idea very much, and I will definitely invest a lot of money in the filming of this special effects series, but we have to discuss this content." ”

Seeing that Downing affirmed his creativity, Eiji Tsuburaya should be happy. However, when he heard that he was going to revise the content, he was a little unhappy, because a director with a full personality like him hated the most about others modifying his script, so he said a little unhappily: "Then please ask Mr. Tang Ning for guidance!" ”

Tang Ning sorted it out and said, "I can see that Director Tsuburaya doesn't want to shoot a simple Ultraman vs. Monster episode, but more of a reflection of the various contradictions between humans and invaders. In this work. Although sometimes humanity is violated by the enemy, but at the same time. Humanity itself is not immune to blame. While this is intellectually in-depth and can be more cautionary and enlightening, you forget how your audience feels.

Most of the audiences of this kind of drama are children, and they simply don't have the ability or patience to experience this kind of esoteric plot slowly, and there is almost no fighting plot in it. This makes it even less likely to catch the child's eyeballs. For a successful series, especially if you're planning to make it into a series, then the first one should not be about emphasizing depth, but about cultivating the audience, after everyone has accepted Ultraman as a hero. Then slowly instill your opinions and ideas into the audience, I think this is the right process. ”

Listening to Tang Ning's words, Tsuburaya Eiji pondered for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "Mr. Tang Ning, you are right, it is true that I am too anxious, and when everyone has not yet accepted this role, I began to instill my own opinions, which may also be the reason for the failure of my previous work, so I'll go back and modify the content and setting." ”

After the modification of Ultraman, it is obviously more suitable for children to watch, there are a lot of fight plots in it, and after the TBS broadcast, the ratings reached a maximum of 39.2%, and the average rating was 32.4%, and Downing's East Asia also took advantage of this to make a comeback.

Funnily enough, Ultraman was banned from the Greens, mainly because the book refers to the Ultraman King as Allah. The Ministry of the Interior believes that Ultraman Superman is an idol of children, and calling Ultraman Superman King "Allah" will confuse children's minds and impact the beliefs of Green Children. The Ministry of the Interior considers "Allah" to be sensitive to the word "green" as holy. If misused irresponsibly, it will anger the green, which can endanger public peace and upset the minds of the public. (It's true, it's happening in Malaysia.) ）

In the process of making Ultraman, Tangning and Tsuburaya Eiji gradually began to become acquainted, and at this time, Downing learned that Tsuburaya Eiji had a very capable assistant who left the tokusatsu industry and went to join an organization called the "Yamagishi Happiness Federation" and went to the countryside to farm.

At first glance, Tang Ning didn't understand what it meant, but after careful inquiry, he realized that this Shan'an Club was a unique life model of life integration and business integration created by Shan'an Hui, the founder of Shan'an Society, in the 50s. Its purpose is to "emphasize the harmony and unity of man and nature, to create material wealth with his own hands, to eliminate private ownership, to eradicate selfish desires, and to realize that everyone can do what he can and what he needs, so that mankind can prosper together".

The Happiness Society's Concept Village, which they themselves call "Manifest Place", which means "the place where the ideal society is actually manifested", has about 30 Manifest Sites in Japan, distributed throughout Japan. In addition, in six countries, including the United States, Brazil, Switzerland, Australia, Thailand, and South Korea, there are also actual sites for happiness associations, and most of them were built by Japanese expatriates who immigrated to the country.
