Chapter three hundred and eighty sixth to the brilliant people
Not long after Richard returned to Earth, the third part of their Ultraman series - "Ultraman 3: To the Man Who Glorified" - was finally going to be officially released.
Richard was very attentive to the production of this film. He originally planned to supervise it from beginning to end, but he didn't expect that so many things happened during the period, both from terrorists and from gods. Once he got busy, he had to do it first.
Leave it alone.
As a result, the first and second films have been produced, and the director directly asked him to see the finished product after editing. Richard watched it again and felt that the visual effect was unexpectedly good, and even seemed to exceed his expectations.
The length of the film was expanded from the length of the original TV series finale trilogy to three hours. The director said that after the preliminary editing was completed, the full length of the film was actually three and a half hours, and he was reluctant to delete every scene in it. But because
Considering that a three-and-a-half-hour theatrical release would be inconvenient and might cause audience fatigue, the film was finally cut to three hours.
But even so, this is a very long movie that exceeds the average length of Hollywood.
Richard thought about it and said it would be better to do this. Let’s use the three-hour version to make a theatrical release, and then after the release, the three-and-a-half-hour version will be used as a director’s cut to sell on Blu-ray discs.
Yes, it’s the legendary unscrupulous company’s specialty of “selling discs” that someone shamelessly copied...
The film process has not changed much from the original work itself. With the second part of the series "Devil's Trial" as a foundation for the world view, the structure has been completed long ago, and the protagonists of the previous work can be directly used.
Yes, that’s right, it’s still Captain America who took the time to play the protagonist Ultraman. Anyway, apart from the heroic affairs of the Avengers, he is a veteran. He is too idle every day and has nothing serious to do...
The plot flow of the movie has basically not changed compared to the original work. It only adds scenes and dialogues to the original plot, and increases the length of several fights. The general story is still that the super-ancient monster Zoga appears, and humans and Ultraman try their best.
After defeating Zorga, he discovered that almost endless numbers of Zorgas began to appear all over the world. Gatanje, the ruler of darkness, awakened, and Ultraman appeared to resist but was defeated. Under the erosion of darkness, he became a
Stone statue. But in this most desperate moment, mankind still did not give up hope. The light in the hearts of people all over the world who believed in hope finally converged into the stone statue and awakened Ultraman, dispelling the darkness and bringing light.
The plot flow is not too complicated. Although I know that most of the audience entered the theater with the mentality of watching Ultraman show special effects and defeating little monsters, but according to Richard's request, the film's narrative and emotional control are as good as the martial arts drama.
of equal importance.
The reason why Ultraman Tiga is a classic is not just because Ultraman defeated the little monsters. What makes this work special is its humanistic care. A good work always has to tell people something,
There must be some special connotation. Movies that just show off special effects and fights may win the box office, but they will never become classics.
And the audience really bought into it. As passers-by who went to watch the excitement with the mentality of watching "Ultraman defeats the little monsters", the audience quickly became involved in the main theme of this film. Large film review website
After the ban was lifted in the comment section, the movie received a lot of praise, and the ratings were also positive. Two days before the film was released, its rating climbed to a high of 9.6. Of course, this score will definitely drop as time goes by, but it is already quite good.
A rare high score.
"When I saw Ultraman for the first time, I thought I had met God and thought he could lead mankind to the right path, but that didn't seem to be the case. Later I learned that Ultraman is both light and human.
.”
Naturally, Richard copied the classic line from the original TV series Captain In-between. This line left a very deep impression on him at first. When I was a kid watching the finale of Tiga, I cried so hard that I wished I could turn into light and rush into the screen.
I went to help Ultraman defeat the little monsters. Later, as I grew up and gained more experience, nothing I saw anymore was as purely touching as when I was a child.
Although the world view has changed, the classic has still become a classic. This handsome line quickly spread among movie fans through the Internet, and it also attracted people's attention to the origin of Ultraman.
Everyone knows that the definition and origin of Ultraman appearing in movies come from the imagination of the director and producer, so who is the Ultraman they know in reality?
Is it possible that he is both light and human like the hero in the movie?
The audience has their own angle of concern, and naturally there will be others who have unique concerns.
Take Braised Eggs, for example. On the first day the movie was released, he immediately called Richard and asked in a very serious tone: "What's wrong with the Lord of Darkness you filmed? Is it real?"
?”
Richard was happy. Mr. Director seemed to be a loyal fan of their movies. As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. who was busy with everything, he actually took the time to watch their movie on the first day of its release. Okay, okay...
Luo Dan's worries are not unreasonable. Others think that the Ultraman movie is simply derived from the producer's imagination and has nothing to do with reality, but Luo Dan knows the truth! He knows that the person in charge of the production is actually Ultra
Mr. Man, is it possible that the monsters, space, humans, gods and horses he photographed actually exist?
Richard thought for a while and chose to "tell the truth": "What Gatanjie said exists actually exists, but it's just not in our world. It is the dark demon god who was defeated by the predecessor before me. That was a long time ago.
It’s happened…”
Luo Dan remembered that he had mentioned Ultraman's power of inheritance, so he was naturally not surprised that Richard had a predecessor before him. He continued to ask: "Then the situation in your movie, is it possible to happen here?
?Darkness covers the earth, super ancient monsters appear all over the world, and the ruler of darkness awakens?"
Richard opened his mouth to say no, but after a second thought, he swallowed his words. He thought of the major events that Marvel's Earth was going to face in two days. There was a global blockade at every turn, darkness shrouded the world, and the world was crawling with alien debris.
soldiers, and then some kind of god-level boss comes to New York or something like that...
…It feels like it’s similar to the finale of Ultraman?
So he changed his words: "I can't say for sure, maybe one day."
Maybe one day there will be a crisis of annihilation, so it never hurts for SHIELD to be prepared in advance.
Luodan hung up the phone without saying anything else.
He had already decided that he would quickly write a plan when he came back, and it was called the "Ghatanjie Plan", which was specifically designed to deal with the apocalyptic crisis in the movie.
Of course, the amount of work required to prepare for this kind of work is certainly not small, and requires many preparations.
