Chapter 386: To the Brilliant One

Not long after Richard returned to Earth, the third installment in their Ultraman series - "Ultraman 3: To the Brilliant Man" - was finally officially released.

Richard, the producer of this movie, was quite attentive, he originally planned to supervise from beginning to end, but he didn't expect that there would be too many things during the period, and he was a terrorist and a god, so he had to put it aside as soon as he got busy.

As a result, the film has been produced, and the director directly asked him to see the finished product after the editing was completed. Richard looked at it and thought it looked surprisingly good, and even seemed to exceed his expectations.

The length of the film has been expanded from the length of the original TV series finale trilogy to three hours. The director said that in fact, after the initial editing was completed, the length of the whole film was three and a half hours, and he was reluctant to delete every scene in it. However, due to the inconvenience of the three-and-a-half-hour cinema screening and the fatigue that it may cause, it was cut to three hours.

But even so, it's a super long movie that exceeds the average length of time in Hollywood.

Richard thought for a moment and said it might as well be like this. Let's use it for a three-hour release for theatrical release, and then wait for the three-and-a-half-hour version to be used as a director's cut version to sell Blu-ray discs after the release is over.

Yes, it is the legendary unscrupulous company's specialty operation of "selling saucers", which was learned by someone shamelessly stealing from a teacher......

The film process has not changed much from the original work itself, and with the second part of the series "Devil's Trial" as a framework to pave the world view, it has long been completed, and the protagonist of the previous work can be directly used.

Yes, that's right, it was still the comrades of the American team who took the time to play Ultraman as the main character. Anyway, in addition to the heroic affairs of the Avengers, he is a veteran, and he is idle every day and has nothing serious to do......

The plot flow of the movie has basically not changed compared to the original work, but the shots and dialogues have been added on the basis of the original plot, and the duration of several fights has been increased. The general story is still that the ultra-ancient monster Zoga appeared, and after humans and Ultraman tried their best to defeat Zoga, they found that an almost infinite number of Zoga began to pop up all over the world. Gatanjee, the ruler of darkness, awakens, and Ultraman appears to resist but is defeated, and is reduced to stone under the erosion of darkness. But in this most desperate moment, humanity still did not give up hope, and the light in the hearts of people who believed in hope all over the world finally converged into the stone statue to awaken Ultraman, dispel the darkness and bring light.

The plot flow is not complicated. Although I know that most of the audience walked into the theater with the mentality of watching the special effects of the Ultraman show defeat the little monsters, according to Richard's request, the narrative and emotional control of this movie are as important as martial arts.

The reason why Ultraman Tiga is a classic is not only because Ultraman defeated the little monster, but also because of its humanistic care. A good work always has to tell people something, it must have some special connotation, but a film that purely shows special effects and fights may win the box office, but it will never become a classic.

And the audience did buy it. As passers-by who went to watch the excitement with the mentality of watching "Ultraman defeat the little monster", the audience quickly devoted themselves to the main theme of this film. After the ban was lifted in the comment area on a large film review website, the movie's reputation was praised, and the ratings were all praised. Two days before the film's release, its score climbed to a height of 9.6 points, of course, this score will definitely drop over time, but this is already a fairly rare high score.

"When I first saw Ultraman, I thought I had met God and thought that he could lead humanity to the right path, but it didn't seem to be the case, and later I learned that Ultraman is both light and human."

The classic lines from the original TV Captain Intermediary were naturally copied by Richard, and he was very impressed by this line at the beginning. When I was a child, I cried when I watched the finale of Tiga, and I wished that I would become a light and rush into the screen to help Ultraman defeat the little monsters.

Although the worldview has changed, the classic has become a classic. This handsome line quickly spread among fans through the Internet, and at the same time brought attention to the origin of Ultraman.

Everyone knows that the definition and origin of Ultraman in the movie come from the imagination of the director and producer themselves, so where is the Ultraman they know in reality?

Is it possible that he is also the same as the hero in the movie, both light and human?

The audience has the angle of the audience's attention, and naturally there will be other people who have different concerns.

For example, boiled eggs. On the first day of the movie's release, he immediately called Richard with a phone call, and asked in a very serious tone: "What is the doom of the dark ruler you filmed, is it real?" ”

Richard was happy. Mr. Director also seems to be a big fan of their films, and the S.H.I.E.L.D., who is a great deal of opportunity, actually took the time to watch their movies on the first day of release, can you ......

The concern of boiled eggs is not unreasonable. Others think that Ultraman movies are simply from the imagination of the producer and have nothing to do with reality, but Lu Dan knows the truth! He knows that the person in charge of the production is actually Ultraman himself, so is it possible that the monster universe man and horse he filmed is actually real?

Richard thought for a moment and chose to "tell the truth": "Gatanjee said that existence actually exists, but it is not our world. It's a dark god who was defeated by my predecessors before me, and that was a long time ago......"

Lu Dan remembered that he had mentioned Ultraman's power of inheritance alone, and it was naturally not surprising that Richard had predecessors before. He continued: "Is it possible that this situation in your movie will happen here?" Darkness envelops the earth, ultra-ancient monsters appear all over the world, and the ruler of darkness awakens? ”

Richard opened his mouth to say no, but after thinking about it, he swallowed it back. He thought of the big events that Marvel Earth would face at both ends in three days, the global lockdown at every turn, the darkness was shrouded, the world was crawling with alien miscellaneous soldiers, and then a god-level boss descended on New York and the like......

…… It feels like it's similar to the Ultraman finale?

So he changed his words and said, "I can't say for sure, maybe one day it will." ”

Maybe one day there will be an annihilation crisis, and it never hurts for Aegis to prepare in advance.

The boiled egg didn't say anything more and hung up the phone.

He has already decided that he will hurry up and write a plan called "Gatanjee Plan", which is specially designed to deal with the apocalyptic crisis in the movie.

Of course, this kind of work must be prepared with a lot of work, and it needs to be prepared in many aspects.

So first, he had to ask the council for money......
