Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

"Nice to meet you...how are you lately?"

"Haha, it's okay, okay - I'm so tough, I'll have to film with you guys later!"

Patting his chest gently, the not-so-burly old man smiled gently:

"I feel quite energetic today - let's go get ready first, the filming will officially start soon."

"Ok."

Because they had rested and were relatively excited, Mochizuki Ri, Tsugawa Yu and Xu Yuhuai all had serious expressions, with a sense of brightness unique to young people.

Seeing how energetic the young people in front of him were, Mr. Takano smiled with satisfaction, then waved goodbye and continued to work on the set.

"......"

Looking at the busy set and everyone moving, the boys and girls also began to read the script and began to consider its contents carefully.

Story outlines, storyboards, literary texts, character analysis biographies... Information came one after another, and it was inevitable that Tsukawa Yu and Xu Yuhuai would have some headaches - but it was obvious that someone who had known Ultraman Tiga for a long time had Mochizuki didn't feel confused about the plot flow and main character settings. His expression was calm, he looked at the piles of information, clearly marked his lines, and then began to consider them carefully, and when he encountered individual I asked the screenwriter vaguely, and he seemed to be a seasoned actor.

"...This young man is really good."

The director of "Ultraman Tega": Mr. Shingo Matsubara, was also looking with interest at the young man in front of him who was carefully feeling the warmth of the script, and kept praising Grandpa Takano, who was responsible for coordinating the overall situation:

"I have a high level of understanding, I work very seriously, I am not arrogant or impetuous, and my personality is easy to get along with... Mr. Takano, we really made the right choice this time, not to mention the effect of future performances, at least the attitude In terms of his quick thinking, he is indeed a very strong presence among the newcomers.”

".......yes."

Looking at the boy who had seriously talked to him about Ultraman Showa during the past audition and affectionately called him Grandpa Takano, Koichi Takano's face also showed some appreciation and kindness:

"He is a serious and good boy... As elders, we must also take good care of him and his friends."

This is exactly what Mr. Takano said.

The preliminary preparations for "Ultraman Tiga" were gradually completed.

Out of his special feelings and special care for Mochizuki, Koichi Takano would even take the initiative to come to Mochizuki's side when he was free, and dotingly analyze the story of "Ultraman Tega" like a young boy and his friends. This is the reboot of Ultraman:

"Ultraman Tiga's conceptual world view is independent. Unlike Showa's Ultraman, except for the Leo brothers, all of them are aliens from the same hometown. It is also this groundbreaking first step, "Tiga "Ultraman" has enough qualifications to be recognized as the reboot of Ultraman in the new era."

"Ultraman Tiga is not a cosmic person, but a "concept", a metaphysical existence such as light, God, and the will of the earth. Apart from giving the protagonist the ability to transform, there is no so-called clear self-will. And Ultraman Tiga In essence, he is a human being who has gained superhuman strength. He still has a human heart and inevitably has human weaknesses and flaws. I carefully studied the script and found that "Ultraman Tiga" is indeed different. He may be similar to Mochizuki-san, your favorite Ultraman Showa is fundamentally different, because the process of reconciliation between the two identities of man and Ultraman also constitutes the "contradiction between oneself and oneself" in the dramatic conflict. Such a subversive setting is unprecedented. Yes, I hope he can also become the introduction of Ultraman in the new era and promote more and better Ultraman works in the future."

After a slight pause, he unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and drank the sweetness in it. Mr. Koichi Takano continued:

"The "Ultraman Humanity" represented by Ultraman Tiga essentially tells the story of people. This should be said to be a leap forward compared to our previous concepts. The plot returns to "people-oriented" and focuses on The focus is on portraying the psychological fate of the characters. Several episodes of the unit drama scripts have been written. I briefly looked through it and found that compared to the past, this reboot pays more attention to the shaping of the characters in the drama rather than using monsters as a selling point - —There are even many concentrated monsters that serve entirely to create characters, which greatly enhances the real humanistic color of fantasy special effects works such as "Ultraman" and gives the plot more space and weight to focus on. In terms of the portrayal of characters and the thinking of human nature, it has a solid enough ideological core than previous and even current younger works - this is the first time since Severn that I have been so excited. I really hope that Ultraman Tiga will go well After the filming, I, an old man, feel relieved~"

"...We will do our best."

Mochizuki clenched his fists, his expression more serious than ever:

"Leave it to us!"

"Leave it to us (????)?!"

Xu Yuhuai's smile was as bright as a flower, and his expression was quite serious.

At this point, the chapter of the Giant of Light officially begins.

@"Stop talking, let's break up"

Introduction to the work: The girl looked at the man who broke up with her in surprise, her eyes full of disbelief, why did things turn out like this?

"Stop talking, let's break up.

When Hoshino Sora said these words in an extremely cold voice, he felt relieved in his heart. Sure enough, it is not advisable to lick a dog, and you will not get any reward for your blind efforts.

Are you finally free...?

Hoshino Sora thought in his heart, a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and tears flowed down the moment he turned his back. It's so cruel. Just because he is fatter, he doesn't deserve it even after dating. The most basic love?

104. The ancient times boiled into soup, the awakening of the giant of light

The plot of the "Ultraman Tiga" series takes place in a modern civilized society 3000 million years after the super-ancient civilization.

During a time when the world was in relative peace and humans on earth lived and worked in peace and contentment, a mysterious meteorite fell from the sky, slipped through the shadows of the stars and clouds, and fell straight into the night.

Faced with such an abnormal situation, mankind also started to act in time - not long after, the joint organization of the Earth Peace Alliance immediately ordered its special operations team: the Victory Team to prepare to investigate the truth of this strange incident.

The Victory Team is an organization established only in the Far East headquarters of TPC. It is a group of experts who deal with strange incidents and other things.It consists of 7 team members. The direct commander is Nan Yuan, the captain is Megumi Nakama, and the deputy captain is Munakata. The headquarters is located in a certain territorial sea of ​​Japan. On weekdays, the dragon always appears but not finished, and various experts are gathered in the organization to deal with it. Abnormal phenomena are a powerful backing for mankind.

After receiving the mission, the team members immediately began to study and detect meteorites, and finally found out that the foreign objects on this day were not naturally formed, but artificially created!

Such a shocking scene made the members of the victory team feel complicated.However, before they could react too much, they half-consciously discovered that there was a silver-colored time capsule hidden in the mysterious meteorite - and this was a relic from a super-ancient civilization.

Facing this unknown capsule from the distant past, everyone on the victory team felt very serious.

But...before they could react too much, the time capsule projected a three-dimensional image at this moment, and a woman with long silver hair named You Lian immediately appeared in front of everyone's eyes. .

Such an unexpected situation really caught the victory team a little off guard.And it was at the moment when all the members were at a loss that the projection from the time capsule slowly opened its mouth and made this prediction to everyone present:

"The earth is about to face a great disaster. The first sign is the appearance of the two monsters Golzan and Melba - and the only one who can resolve this crisis is the giant sleeping in the pyramid."

The woman's voice was quite calm, and did not seem to contain any unnecessary emotions - but the amount of information revealed in the words of the mysterious woman named You Lian was undoubtedly huge, and an inexplicable heaviness weighed on everyone's hearts, like a thick shadow. , it is difficult to heal easily.

And it was at the moment when everyone fell into silence and the inexplicable depression kept emerging that You Lian was ready to speak after a brief silence and tell him how to revive the giant.

However...before she could say anything, the three-dimensional image disappeared in an instant, as if it had never existed.

Faced with such a bizarre scene, everyone on the victory team was skeptical and decided to take their time to observe what the situation was like.

At this point, most of the scenes introducing the world view have been shot at this moment. Everyone on the Ultraman Tiga crew is also very motivated, and the subsequent filming will naturally become quite smooth.

After all, this is not the first time to come to the set... Although the qualifications are not very high, the two leading actors, Tsugawa Yu and Xu Yuhuai, still completed a relatively satisfactory performance in a short period of time. It was so unexpected. The result could not help but shock the crew and crew, including director Shingo Matsubara.

"...Although there is still room for improvement, the performances of these two newcomers are really good."

Director Matsubara unscrewed the mineral water bottle, and his tired but excited eyes couldn't help but light up slightly:

"As expected of Mochizuki-san's good friend... Even though they are young, the seriousness and vividness of their performances really exceeded my expectations."

"...Indeed."

Looking at everyone on the set in front of him, Mr. Koichi Takano, who has always been sitting next to the director, couldn't help but tell the new actors:

"I heard that their first debut work was a love web drama, and the ratings and audience recognition were also very high... There is no sense of violation in such a long-term transformation. The talents of this group of young people are consistent with The acting skills are really good.”

"It's true...Haha, I always feel that our casting for Ultraman this time is really biased toward idolization. The leading actors are all teenagers and so on. They really look a bit like each other. It’s a tokusatsu drama about the chaos next door.”

"...There is indeed a slight resemblance."

In response to the director of Ultraman Tiga's joke, Mr. Takano Koichi couldn't help but laugh:

"After all, Ultraman finally got a chance to restart after decades. Times have also changed. It is also a good consideration to keep pace with the times in terms of production style - of course, we still have to pay close attention to quality, both Inheriting the classic flavor while renewing the ancient temperament of Ultraman Showa, Ultraman Tiga is such a tokusatsu drama that carries a very historical figure."

"It's true... I should say it or not. I feel that the lead actor and his friends are quite good-looking. Just looking at their faces, it feels a bit like a youth idol drama."

"Haha, after all, they are all young people. We old men, our faces have long been wrinkled. When we see these young people, we always feel that time is fleeting."

With a slight sigh, Koichi Takano and Shingo Matsubara, the two middle-aged and elderly people responsible for the behind-the-scenes work of Ultraman Tega, could not help but fall into silence at this moment.

Once upon a time, they were just as young as Mochizuki and others, swaying their blood and passion in Tsuburaya Studio, studying the latest and most cutting-edge special photography techniques with a group of seniors, hoping to create exciting dramas with boldness. Full of battles - but time is ruthless. Decades have passed in the blink of an eye. The youth of the past has become old, the predecessors of the past have passed away, and special photography technology has become more and more ignored in the current technological advancement, and has even been included in countless movies. People think it is a backward product that should be eliminated. This situation really makes Takano Hiroshi sigh:

"I never expected that I have gone from a young man following Mr. Tsuburaya to a dying old man in the eyes of some people in the film and television industry. It really feels like time passes quickly."

"........"

"Haha, don't worry, it's just an old man's casual comment."

He waved his hand gently and noticed that Director Matsubara turned back to look at him. Mr. Takano had an inexplicable feeling in his eyebrows.

Having witnessed the rise and fall of Ultraman, and having been ridiculed by the younger generation of authorities for not being able to adapt, Koichi Takano actually doesn’t have any particular sentimentality or difficulty in letting go——

..... He is already old, and he no longer wants to care about the criticism and comments from Ultraman who accidentally faced him.

"There's no point in fighting with some newcomers who think that tokusatsu should be eliminated. To put it mildly, it's hard to say how long I can live with my illness and my age - so I just use my words to talk to those people. There is really no value in arguing among a group of people. Only by creating good enough works can we live in the hearts of everyone, right?"

"...I am already satisfied. I can once again stand behind Ultraman and witness the growth of the great heroes of the new era and the young people I look forward to in the new era. For me, who has been following Mr. Tsuburaya in the past, , for a guy who has inevitably grown old now, it is the happiest thing... That's what the so-called inheritance is all about, isn't it?"

"...Mr. Takano."

Hearing the words of Koichi Takano who was sitting next to him, for a moment, the slightly younger director Matsubara couldn't help but show a trace of concern on his face——

However, as if he didn't care about anything, Takano Hiroshi just waved his hand, and a kind voice responded:

"Okay, don't worry about me, old man. Given the current situation, let's focus on the filming of the series first -"

"We should train this group of young people well, whether they are newcomers in front of the stage or behind the scenes... we old guys who used to follow behind our seniors should also set an example for everyone."

"......Yes!"

Hearing such words from Eiji Tsuburaya's direct disciple, Director Matsubara, who had a special affection for Ultraman Tiga, the reboot of Ultraman, also nodded solemnly at this moment.

"...I really hope everything goes well."

"It's okay, it will be fine."

The voice fell.

The old man raised his head slightly and looked at Mochizuki Ri, who was sitting obediently in the studio with a calm expression, playing the role of Dagu.

“…After all, the light of the new age is there, isn’t it?”

As soon as the words fell, the chat among the old people behind the scenes ended.

The short break ended, and the boys and girls wearing leather Victory uniforms took their seats according to the script and continued to take the scene.

The camera showed Ogu played by Mochizuki Ri - because in the first episode Ogu didn't know that he was about to become a light, Mochizuki didn't show too much, but completely integrated into the role of Ogu, and the whole process was ordinary. Nothing special about it.

But, this is enough.

Seeing Mochizuki Ri who is getting more and more into a state in front of him, his eyes are determined but there seems to be nothing special, Yuya Tsugawa, who is in charge of the scene at the moment, can't help but silently praise in his heart.

...In order not to be held back, I have to take it seriously.

There was considerable enthusiasm in the hearts of the young people.

The plot of Ultraman Tiga has gradually entered the next stage with the outstanding performances of the leading actors.

...

.....Changes always arise in an instant.

Just as You Lian predicted, the two monsters Golzan and Melba woke up in the darkness. Their terrifying threats and infiltrating roars instantly aroused the vigilance of all members of the victory team.

Feeling the approaching crisis, the team members immediately set off to go to the pyramid to find the prophesied giant in order to prepare to awaken it.

Based on the analysis of the ancient language, the victory team Jino Rui found the location of the pyramid, so he decided to send a team to prepare to explore the truth——

As one of the dispatched team members, Dagu also actively went to the front line.However, in a trance, the young man seemed to hear a voice calling him continuously. Out of curiosity about the voice, the young man followed the instructions and moved forward through the dense forest, and finally discovered the mysterious pyramid hidden inside.

Touching the golden pyramid with his arm, Dagu was surprised to find that he seemed to be able to penetrate this pure and flawless brilliance - when Dagu entered the pyramid and raised his head, three giant stone statues suddenly appeared in front of him!

This discovery is indeed quite significant, but before everyone on the victory team could react too much, the two prophesied monsters also found the pyramid and prepared to come and destroy the stone statues.

Facing these two terrifying behemoths, the members of the Victory Team fought desperately to protect them. The fighter jets flew up and fired cannonballs to attack the monsters. However, the destruction could not be stopped. In just the blink of an eye, the three discovered giant stone statues were destroyed by the monsters. Only the last one was destroyed, and the fighter plane of the Dagu team that discovered the giant was also hit by the monster and kept falling.

At this moment, everyone in the victory team desperately believed that Dagu was about to die in the explosion.

However, it was at this critical moment that the gears of fate turned inexplicably.

It was also at the moment when Dagu was about to fall off the cliff, destroying the machine and killing everyone, that Dagu actually turned into a ray of light and poured into the body of the only stone statue that was not destroyed!

At this moment, the indicator light came on, and a stream of silver-colored light emerged from his head... The Giant of Light seemed to be showing signs of resurrection!

"Roar!"

Sensing that something was wrong, Golzan took the lead and seemed to want to completely crush the stone statue - but it was too late. The reborn giant withstood Golzan's trampling and gradually recovered from the petrification. Just one When he got up, he said that Golzan had been thrown dozens of meters away!

At this moment, Dagu finally became light, and Ultraman Tiga was reborn!

ps: I’m very busy today, so I can only update [-] words first QAQ

105. To the seven thousand glorious people

The awakening of the Giant of Light is undoubtedly the most crucial scene in the first episode.

As the leather-clad actor struck a classic pose and pushed Golzan to the ground, the atmosphere on the set became completely heated at this moment!
