Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 150 Let Ultraman's Light Shine on Conan's World

“A-Brother Takeru?!”

When he suddenly saw Takeshi Onino, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya was shocked and was even more surprised than Takeshi Onino.

"How will you be here?"

Gui Yewu asked in surprise.

Wait, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya?
Sure enough, Mitsuhiko replied: "I followed my father to visit my uncle. His company was acquired recently and he is in a bad mood. We are a little worried about him."

Gui Yewu twitched his lips and said, "Isn't your uncle called Tsuburaya Hero?"

Mitsuhiko stared at him, "Brother Takeru, how did you know? And why did you come to my uncle's company..."

Gui Yewu raised an eyebrow at him: "I came to see the company I just acquired."

Mitsuhiko:......

It turns out to be like Li!

He didn't expect that it was Takeshi Ono who acquired his uncle's company.

After being surprised, Mitsuhiko became happy again.

Although he was young, he already understood a lot of things. He knew that although his uncle was talented, he did not know how to run a company, and bankruptcy was inevitable if the company was not acquired.

Now that the acquisition is supervised by Gui Yewu, a genius with a great reputation and never failed, it may not be a bad thing for my uncle.

After chatting with the little expert in seeking death for a few words, Tsuburaya Hero got the news and ran out.

This is a middle-aged man who looks a bit like Dr. Agasa. He is also extremely smart, but he is thin.

"You must be Supervisor Onino Takeshi. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person!"

Hero Tsuburaya was very enthusiastic, but Takeshi Onino could still see a bit of loss and reluctance in his expression.

It’s no wonder that he must feel bad when the company he founded with great effort is acquired by others.

However, Hideo Tsuburaya knew his own limitations and realized that he did not know how to run a company, which led to continuous losses. He had to accept the investment from the Takasugi Group. From that time on, the controlling rights were no longer in the hands of him as the founder.

Therefore, Tsuburaya Hideo was not unable to accept the acquisition by Onino Film. It was just a matter of replacing another major shareholder.

But what is the attitude of this major shareholder?

Previously, the Takasugi Group’s investment only involved dividends and did not interfere in the company’s operations. I wonder what Onino Takeshi is going to do?
Thinking of this, Hero Tsuburaya felt a little uneasy.

After the meeting, Onino Takeshi and his companion toured the company under the guidance of Hero Tsuburaya.

After a quick glance, Takeshi Ono determined that the situation of Tsuburaya Company was indeed not good.

Even half of the positions in such a large company were not filled, and the few employees had numbness and confusion on their faces and had no intention of working at all.

When he saw Takeshi Onino coming in, his expression immediately became excited as if he knew him, and it was obvious that he had already known the news that the company had been acquired by Onino Eiga.

This is naturally what the employees want.

Then Onino Takeshi learned more about Tsuburaya's business, and the result can only be described in four words -

It's a mess!
The special effects dramas shot by Tsuburaya are still mainly based on masked heroes, and they are obviously still following the routine of Kamen Ultraman. This is also the choice of most special effects companies at present.

After all, Kamen Rider is so popular that he dominates the entire field of special effects dramas with an undisputed position.

But it is also because of this that the special effects dramas currently on the market are extremely homogenized and basically follow the same routine. But with the example of Kamen Ultraman, how can they possibly compete?
Therefore, the business of most special effects companies is very bleak, and Tsuburaya is by no means the only one.

On the contrary, Tsuburaya's special effects dramas ingeniously incorporate elements of alien monsters.

Although there is also Godzilla in this world, this setting is still eye-catching.

It can be seen that Hero Tsuburaya is a man with ideas and has been trying his best to seek breakthroughs.

But unfortunately, it still could not break away from the constraints of Kamen Rider. In addition, Hero Tsuburaya was indeed not good at management and did not know how to control costs, which led to the company falling to the brink of bankruptcy.

Although the current situation of Tsuburaya Company is hard to describe and even Tomie Kawakami couldn't help but shake her head, Takeshi Onino was not disappointed.

On the contrary, he felt very satisfied.

It doesn't matter if the business is bad, he has plenty of ideas, but what he fears most is running into a group of useless people who have no ideas, no ambition, and only know how to get by.

Then even the best ideas will be wasted.

Hideo Tsuburaya is a good person. He has ideas and abilities, and is passionate about special effects dramas. He is a suitable candidate.

To be honest, although Takeshi Onino has watched many special effects dramas, he is not good at shooting them, and he really needs someone like Hideo Tsuburaya to assist him.

Therefore, he had no intention of kicking Tsuburaya Hero out, as long as he was not allowed to get involved in the company's management and could concentrate on filming and producing TV series.

It can be said that the good steel is used on the blade.

As for the management of the company, we will just send a professional manager over when the time comes.

After understanding the situation, everyone returned to the office and Takeshi Onino began to exercise his power as president.

First of all, a guarantee was made that all remaining employees would remain, including the former president, Hideo Tsuburaya, which made him feel relieved.

Secondly, everyone’s salary increased by 20%.

When this decision was announced, there was a burst of cheers from outside, and everyone was 100% supportive of the new president.

Of course, Takeshi Onino is not simply trying to win people's hearts. The acquisition has just been completed, and Tsuburaya was on the verge of bankruptcy. The entire company is in a panic, so he needs to stabilize people's hearts first.

It’s not too late to conduct screening after the situation is on the right track. The capable ones will be promoted and the mediocre ones will be demoted!

Those who have no ability but want to get by, just say goodbye.

Takeshi Onino appointed Hideo Tsuburaya as vice president, responsible for the production of this part, and then handed him a project plan.

"Given the current situation of Tsuburaya Company, changes must be made. I decided to cut all previous projects and make a new special effects drama!"

Looking at Takeshi Onino's unquestionable tone, Hero Tsuburaya opened his mouth, but finally sighed.

As a new official, he, as an outdated president, certainly cannot raise any objections. But Tsuburaya Hideo is also worried that Onino Takeshi will make a rash decision without thinking.

Although the other party is a famous director with a great reputation, he may not necessarily understand special effects dramas. I am afraid that he will act on impulse and end up doing the opposite of what he wants, following in his footsteps and bringing Tsuburaya Company into the abyss.

Takeshi Onino saw the conflicted expression on Tsuburaya Hero's face and understood his concerns after a quick thought.

Without saying anything more, he pointed at the project plan and said, "President Tsuburaya, please take a look at it first."

Tsuburaya Hero had no choice but to open it, but he didn't really believe that Onino Takeshi could come up with anything reliable.

I'm afraid it's another copycat of Kamen Rider... Hmm, what is this?
Tsuburaya Hero was suddenly stunned.

He stared blankly at the sketch in front of him, which showed a humanoid creature that was somewhat similar to Kamen Rider, but completely different.

There are three words marked next to it - Ultraman!

"Ultraman..."

The hero of Tsuburaya suddenly felt a shock in his heart.

This name and the humanoid creature with two salted eggs on its eyes seemed to have an indescribable magic on him.

It captured his entire attention in an instant.

Looking at his expression, Gui Yewu curled his lips: "This is a story about an alien hero. His name is Ultraman, and he comes from the distant M78 nebula..."

Onino Takeshi briefly talked about the setting and general story of Ultraman.

Upon hearing this, Tsuburaya Hero's eyes lit up.

Onino Takeshi was not surprised at all by his reaction. This is the charm of Ultraman!

Before coming here, Takeshi Ono had already made plans for the future development of Tsuburaya.

Since it’s Tsuburaya, it’s natural that they’re going to shoot Ultraman.

Tsuburaya + Ultraman = complete form!
In fact, Takeshi Onino had considered whether to choose "Kamen Rider", but after thinking about it, he gave up.

In addition to conforming to Tsuburaya's settings, it is also because "Kamen Rider" and "Kamen Ultraman" are special effects films of the same type.

"Kamen Rider" is indeed excellent, but the fact that "Kamen Rider" can occupy most of the special effects films in the Conan world, remain popular for a long time, and is sought after by the public is definitely not in vain.

It does have its excellent aspects, but Takeshi Onino feels that "Kamen Rider" alone is not safe.

However, Ultraman is different. It is a completely different type from Kamen Rider. In today's special effects film market which is full of "masked elements", it is definitely a refreshing breath of fresh air.

Giganticization, alien monsters, human bodies, defense forces... these are settings and elements that have never appeared in "Kamen Rider".

This form of shooting is unprecedented.

Not to mention the background setting of Ultraman, which is more complex and larger than the somewhat monotonous "Kamen Rider", which makes people full of expectations.

More importantly, it is self-evident what the name "Ultraman" represents in another world. Since he is going to shoot a special effects film, why wouldn't Onino Takeshi choose it?

At this time, Hero Tsuburaya has been completely immersed in this world called "Ultraman". His heart is beating fast, his breathing is rapid, and he is obviously very excited.

"it is good!"

Tsuburaya Hero slammed the table and was very excited, "This story and setting are simply amazing!"

He held the project plan in his hands as if it were a treasure, his eyes shining.

"This, this is what I've been looking for, this is it!"

Hero Tsuburaya was trembling with excitement, as if "Ultraman" was his destiny!
Onino Takeshi laughed and said, "Since President Tsuburaya has no objection, the company's main task next will be to shoot Ultraman."

Tsuburaya Hero nodded. He was now full of enthusiasm and immediately analyzed: "Apart from the need to make the leather case and miniature landscape, the cost should not be that high."

Gui Yewu reminded: "Don't save money on the suit, make it as delicate as possible. I don't want to see an Ultraman face with pits and dents!"

Due to the lack of funds, the former Tsuburaya hero had suffered enough from the hard work of searching and peeking, and when he heard that Onino Takeshi was so generous, he was immediately happy and promised that he would never save money for him.

Looking at the Tsuburaya hero who looked like he was ready to let himself go, Onino Takeshi curled the corners of his mouth.

Thinking of this guy's criminal record, we immediately decided that we must send a professional producer over to strictly control costs.

Of course, the money still needs to be spent. He doesn't want to see Ultraman's bumpy face again.

That’s right, the story that Takeshi Ono brought out was from “Ultraman: The First Generation”.

Although he had confidence in Ultraman, he still felt that he had to test the waters first to avoid any problems with acclimatization.

So they followed the practice of Tsuburaya in Another World and filmed the first generation first.

If the response is good, we will continue to bring out popular characters such as "Tiga", "Seven" and "Taro".

And the first generation is indeed the origin of all stories.

However, there was a problem with the first generation that was criticized, that is, due to funding, experience and technical issues, his face was simply horrible.

If you don’t know, you might think that the first generation had leprosy when he was a child.

It is said that it was modified directly from a diver's mask, and it will become bumpy with the breathing of the suit actor, and over time it will naturally become rough.

It looks quite scary.

Although Tsuburaya changed it later, this is still a flaw in the ointment.

Naturally, Takeshi Ono doesn't want his version of Ultraman to continue to have a sulfuric acid face.

He was filming a cosmic hero, not a murderer.

So we still have to spend money on this.

Takeshi Onino is looking forward to seeing Ultraman appear again in this world.

Let that light shine upon the Conan world!
