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

The behind-the-scenes story about Ultraman Tiga in this chapter comes from "Testimony of the 25th Anniversary of Ultraman Tiga", written by Takeshi Yagi. If you are interested, you can read it.

Of course, although there is reality as a footnote, the shooting content of this article is not entirely based on reality, and is more or less adapted. For example, in the original work, Melba's explosion was a special effect of [-] cents, but here it is a pure explosive leather case, and what follows behind the scenes The shooting will also be slightly different from reality (because I actually don’t have much understanding of Ultraman. If there are any discrepancies in some details, just treat it as my second creation. Thank you very much for understanding QAQ)

pps: Someone said something about the writing method in the last chapter. In fact, I skipped some of the tedious processes of shooting and went directly to the original story to connect it. Otherwise, breaking it into parts would be very poor in viewing and reading. So I simplified it greatly. I understand the process and hope everyone understands QAQ.

The next chapter of Tiga's filming is about to come to an end, and I will also enter a plot line that I haven't entered yet)

106. The historic collaboration between Sloth Fish and Tiga 7k

The filming of Ultraman Tiga is still going on.

The shooting activities of tokusatsu dramas are indeed much more intense than ordinary love web dramas. The boys and girls who have only filmed the web drama "Spring Things" in the past also feel unprecedented challenges during the long hours of work - but Fortunately, everyone on the crew gave them a lot of care as newcomers, and Mochizuki and the three of them could barely take a breath and continue filming hard on the set of Ultraman's revival.

"The progress is still relatively fast, and the filming of the second episode will start soon."

Looking at the script in his hand, director Shingo Matsubara acted as a co-ordinator and continued to direct the crew to start filming.

Because he is really getting older, Koichi Takano, the veteran figure of the Ultraman series, has temporarily given up the idea of ​​taking on all technical work on his own, and instead prefers to train new people, teach special photography knowledge, and learn new technologies born from new technologies. Technology has a feeling of cultivating successors.

"........."

Watching the old Mr. Takano exchanging experiences with young people, and even starting to think about how to use new technologies to integrate into special photography, Mochizuki, who has always been quite curious about the behind-the-scenes of Ultraman, felt this more and more. The lean old man with a kind appearance is really a pioneer who transcends the times. He does not stick to tradition. Instead, he is still thinking and weighing the relationship between traditional special photography and modern special effects, and is always looking for a new balance point——

Among them, as the producer of "Ultraman Tega", Mr. Takano also put forward a very important message:

"The first episode of Ultraman Tiga still used too many special effects. This may have lost the taste of traditional special effects. If more traditional special effects are introduced in subsequent episodes, new technical special effects will be used. It would be even better to give the image a sense of agility.”

“?((l)–(l))??”

After hearing what Koichi Takano said, the person in Lina who had been listening in all the time: Miss Xu Yuhuai, had a confused expression on her face.

"I always feel that everyone is talking in depth, but I don't seem to understand... What is the relationship between traditional special photography and modern special effects? I still haven't figured it out |??? |!"

".......this is normal."

In response to Xu Yuhuai's words, Mochizuki held his chin at this moment:

"After all, we are actors. As the saying goes, there are specializations in the art industry, but these professional issues are still far behind us."

"It's true... I listened carefully for a while, but I always felt that it was getting more and more convoluted."

That's it.

As if he was teasing, Xu Yuhuai gently poked Mochizuki's shoulder:

"......So what's going on, Brother Mochizuki?乛?乛?, I've been with you for so long, and you still eavesdrop on Grandpa Takano with such a serious look. Do you still want to Are you in charge of the filming of "Ultraman Tega"?"

"...Don't make trouble. The filming aspect has absolutely nothing to do with me. I try my best to finish my work and everything will be fine. I really can't expect anything else."

The young man, who was self-aware of his own character and already somewhat socially fearful, patted his head in embarrassment:

"I'm just interested in behind-the-scenes production... Don't think too much about it, how can I become a boss behind the scenes of special photography as an actor?"

"...That's right."

Hearing Mochizuki's words, Xu Yuhuai was stunned for a moment, and after a while he nodded as if he had come to his senses. He was like a kitten lying in a daze under the warm sun, his eyes showing an inexplicable clear dullness——

Of course, Mochizuki didn't particularly care about Xu Yuhuai's expression at this moment.

Girls are not as attractive as Ultraman... Mochizuki, who had no feelings for love in the first place, secretly listened to Koichi Takano's guidance for the subsequent series:

"Under the impact of new technologies in the new era, our crew should integrate some new technologies into it while retaining the characteristics of traditional special photography as much as possible - some shots that can be shot in real life should be shot in real life, after all, if we have been using CG It’s not called tokusatsu, it can only be regarded as a three-dimensional animation at best, which is not in line with the positioning of Ultraman Tiga’s revival.”

"So, when we started filming the second episode, we tried to reduce the use of CG as much as possible. Ultraman also flew with wires to see the effect, and try to restore the feeling at the time as much as possible."

"Ok."

The older generation of crew members discussed the same thing.

After the discussion was over and the policy for subsequent filming was confirmed, director Shingo Matsubara also clapped his hands at this moment and began to coordinate the overall situation:

"Everyone is in position, let's start shooting!"

It was at this point that the sentence ended.

The newcomers, who were still a little immature during the initial filming, and the teenagers who were embarking on such a large-scale tokusatsu drama for the first time, were also in place at this moment, with inexplicable excitement and nervousness, preparing to start filming "Tiga Ultra" The content of subsequent episodes of "Man".

The opening of "Ultraman Tega" is not just the first episode. As a reboot of Ultraman in the new era, his second episode is also very crucial. It is also an important starting paragraph for introducing the world view and characters——

Therefore, knowing that the importance of the second episode is the same as that of the first episode, everyone on the set naturally gathered their energy and began nervously filming the subsequent content.

In that fantasy-filled studio, all members of the crew were gradually immersed in the world of Ultraman Tiga...

Inside one of the mines on Kuroshima, the miners were attacked by a monster called Gakuma.

The monster Gakuma is quite mysterious. The light it emits can turn people to stone, which is quite harmful. For safety reasons, the joint organization that learned about the monster immediately dispatched a team to investigate, hoping to obtain more information. .

On the other side, Ye Rui, a member of the victory team, also began to study the giant of light that appeared in front of everyone that day and defeated the monster. Through comparison and analysis, he found that if the giant's body turns red, it means that the speed of strengthening is weakening. , purple means that the speed is getting faster and the strength is weakening, and when the indicator light on its chest starts to flash red, it means that the strength is about to be exhausted.

"........"

After hearing the news, Dagu's expression became quite complicated.

He just frowned slightly, looking at Ultraman Tiga on the display screen, and his heart started to speed up.

And it was at the moment when Dagu was in the most complicated mood that the mysterious woman: Youlian once again appeared at the Victory Team base and said that crucial sentence to Dagu:

"There is only one way to revive the giant, and that is for Dagu to turn into light..."

The moment he heard this sentence, Da Gu's expression inevitably underwent a shocking reversal - and he also realized half-consciously after this moment that except for himself, no one else seemed to be able to hear the woman in front of him clearly. What exactly was said!

Ever since, the performance that conquered the casting director and Mr. Takano during the audition was once again displayed in front of everyone.

After hearing the real You Lian actor standing in front of him and saying to himself, "Dagu becomes light," the young man immediately fell into the drama and dropped the genuine Bandai toy in his arms to the ground, with a look of confusion and confusion on his expression. The inexplicable fear was completely displayed in front of the camera, and the strong sense of empathy deeply touched the other staff present——

The scene where he understood that his identity was not an easy one passed quickly. After the scene ended, applause broke out from all sides at this moment.

The 17-year-old Mochizuki Ri's performance was indeed outstanding enough, and she even inspired everyone who was already in good condition. She seemed to be taking the initiative to heat up the atmosphere. This change was also noticed by other adults on the crew who had taken care of Mochizuki Ri. In the eyes.

"...I always feel that the relatively withdrawn boy seems to be slowly becoming more cheerful."

"Yes, the expressiveness of this period is even stronger than that of the audition. The emotions are really full, which is very surprising."

"The future is promising. Brother Mochizuki may really have a chance to become a Tokyo actor in the future..."

At the end of the performance, praises from the extras and staff came in like a wave, which made Mochizuki feel a little at a loss -

"Pfft."

Seeing that Brother Wangyue was still the same, looking completely uncomplimentary, Xu Yuhuai, who was sitting outside watching the young man's performance, couldn't help but smile.

Really, I feel a little more confident...

He is obviously a very good person.

Thoughts so far.

Looking at Mochizuki, who was wearing a leather Victory uniform and thanking everyone for their compliments with some embarrassment, Xu Yuhuai's cheeks turned red unconsciously.

.......This is, what does it feel like?

The people in Lina began to not quite understand how they felt.

But... now is not the time to worry about this.

Because Mochizuki's performance was spot on, and everyone behind the scenes was actively learning and improving their skills, the filming of the second episode of "Ultraman Tega" went very smoothly——

Return to the world of Ultraman Tiga again.

After Dagu threw the Divine Light Rod, time passed between You Lian and Dagu, and the next moment, the Victory Team received a notice that Kakuma appeared again——

After receiving the order, Lina and the general party made a prompt decision and immediately flew the Shengli Feiyan to prepare for a battle with the monster. However, the fighter jets were still unable to hurt the monster. In just a few rounds, the Shengli Feiyan was hit by the monster, and two People were injured and fled, finally escaping alive.

Since Lina and Vice-Captain Munakata can't do it, it will naturally be the turn of one of the real ace pilots to appear next.

Soon, Tsui and Dagu appeared in the No. [-] machine with enhanced weapons. With just a ray of light, they directly blew up Gakuma, the monster that was raging all over the place -

As the sky-high flames ignited, everyone on the victory team breathed a sigh of relief. They even thought that the monsters had been successfully eliminated and that there could no longer be any harm in the area.

However... just as everyone was rejoicing and preparing to celebrate the victory, another Kakuma suddenly appeared and completely destroyed the Shengli Feiyan No. [-]——

Now, the victory team is really in crisis.

The team members fled in all directions, and Dagu was also pursued... Sensing the approaching danger, Dagu seemed to have remembered something, and took out the transformer from his arms. He pondered for a few seconds before deciding to start again. Transform into a giant of light and fight Nagakumar.

The flashing silver ingot-colored light was so dazzling that it even drove back the raging monsters... When the flashing passed, the giant of light stood on the ground again, assuming a familiar posture to deal with the monsters in front of him!

Looking at Ultraman Tiga who suddenly appeared in front of him, Kakuma backed away continuously, and after a while he let out a war cry, determined to fight this mysterious and powerful giant.

The war was about to break out, and the mysterious Giant of Light once again fought against monsters in order to protect humans. Unexpectedly, Kakuma's strength should not be underestimated, and his attacks were extremely violent. Ultraman did not have much defensive ability, so he was beaten. They were retreating steadily and barely knew how to defend themselves.

And just when Tiga was getting ready to attack again, Gakuma suddenly emitted light, directly turning most of the giant's body to stone. The giant's indicator light also began to flash red, and his power seemed to be exhausted soon. ........

It was under the nervous gaze of the members of the victory team including Xincheng that the giant put his hands on his forehead, transformed into a red attack state, broke away from the petrified body, and then began to use his tyrannical body tissue and strength Beat up the arrogant monster in front of you——

A hand knife knocked off Gakuma's horn, and a set of combos left him unable to fight back. The Giant of Light took a stance and released energy light waves, completely annihilating Kakuma again.

The crisis was over, and the giant disappeared into the distance again. Everyone on the victory team survived the disaster, with a feeling of lingering fear on their expressions.

And it was when we returned to the headquarters for a collective meeting that everyone began to focus on Diga.

After being saved by the giant of light twice, everyone on the victory team also had a good impression of the mysterious life form and suggested that everyone give the giant a name.

In the naming process, everyone on the victory team also showed their talents:

"...Since he is as huge as a mountain, how about calling him Giant Mountain Super Power?"

"Uh... Giant Mountain Super Power sounds stupid."

"Haha."

Dagu smiled slightly awkwardly, and after thinking briefly, Dagu also spoke at this moment:

"...I think, let's call him Ultraman Tiga - what do you think?"

After the words fell, the young man's expression changed slightly. The faint tension and confusion were all very vivid under Mochizuki's interpretation.

And it was after Dagu’s proposal that everyone on the victory team also expressed considerable agreement:

"Haha, this is a good name!"

"Good, really good!"

"Ultraman is his name, plus Tiga... Okay, Ultraman Tiga, what a good name."

For a moment, bursts of laughter erupted from the victory team, and a bright atmosphere emerged from all directions.

During the intense filming, the second episode of Ultraman Tiga slowly came to an end thanks to everyone's efforts.

.....

"Crack!"

A short and powerful voice sounded, and the director of "Ultraman Tiga": Mr. Shingo Matsubara, who was responsible for coordinating the overall situation, also announced the end of the day's filming at this moment:

"The most important foundation for the series has been laid. Thank you all for your hard work!"

"yeah......."

There were sparse cheers, which was completely different from the situation after the filming of the first episode. Quite a few actors collapsed on the ground with an unusual sense of exhaustion on their expressions.

Although most of the people on the set are young people and their bodies are generally weak, they have stayed up for several long nights in succession, and their basic rest time has been greatly reduced due to the rush to schedule. The staff present cheered politely. After that, they collapsed on the ground one after another, and soon started snoring.

"...so tired?(ˊ〇ˋ*)?~!"

Although there are not many scenes in the first two episodes, Lina played by Xu Yuhuai does not have as much drama as Mochizuki in Ultraman Tega. Generally speaking, it is easier - but after all, it has always been Running around with the group, the girl who was not used to staying up late was naturally physically and mentally exhausted, and her dark green jade eyes also showed a rare hint of exhaustion:

"I really want to sleep... Can I lie down on the chair and take a nap, Brother Mochizuki?"

"...... Go to sleep if you want."

Seeing the sleepy-eyed kitten in front of him speaking to him like this, Mochizuki, the champion of staying up late, patted his head at this moment, his look and expression as calm as ever.

And with Mochizuki's permission, the little girl who objectively didn't want to sleep was finally defeated by desire. As soon as she took off her victory team uniform, she slumped on the chair and fell asleep like a pig——

Looking at the scene in front of them, Mochizuki Ri and Tsugawa Yu, who had stayed up until the end, looked helplessly at the set where everyone was so tired that they collapsed. Then they looked at the few behind-the-scenes staff who were still working overtime. Difficult to stretch.

"....Haha, Mochizuki-san and Tsugawa-san."

Seeing that only a few of the main actors were not sleepy at all, Director Shingo Matsubara also walked up to him, holding half a can of coffee in his hand:

"After staying up for several days, everyone is so exhausted that they are paralyzed there. Aren't you sleepy at all?"
