Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 193: Ultraman's Cold Opening

The scene where Ultraman appears is a classic, but Takeshi Onino still optimized Tsuburaya Hero again.

After all, times are different. With today's special effects technology, even without the help of Hiroki Sawada, it can still be eye-catching.

At least not like a slide show.

Gui Yewu’s requirement is to be as cool as possible and highlight the word “handsome”!

"Wow!"

The simultaneous exclamations of surprise from several little ones proved that the effect was good.

Ultraman's appearance posture is very handsome and classic, with his right fist raised high and his left fist placed near his head.

This posture was later continued and became the most classic appearance action in the Ultraman series.

Ultraman appears, grabs the monster and starts beating it up, punching and kicking it is so exciting!

In the original Ultraman fights, whether it is the Showa Ultraman or the Heisei Ultraman, he always overexerts himself in the early stages, and gradually loses ground in the later stages. Only after he is beaten to a pulp will he stand up and use a big move to defeat the monster.

This is a classic routine in the Ultraman series.

After all, fighting scenes are more interesting to watch if they are fought back and forth. If Ultraman crushes the monster as soon as he appears, it would be a brainless and fun scene. The purpose is to highlight the difficulties of the hero.

However, Onino Takeshi's version has increased the enjoyment of the action on this basis.

After all, the protagonist is Kyogoku Makoto!

In order to cooperate with him, Hero Tsuburaya specially found a senior action director in the industry, named Ryudo Daigo, to arrange the action scenes.

The suit actors were limited by the suits and could not do complex movements, so those actions were basically concentrated on Kyogoku Makoto.

What shocked and excited Ryudo Daigo was that no matter how difficult his request was, Kyogoku Makoto could always do it perfectly, without any error.

He is simply the action actor that all action directors dream of!

With such a treasure in hand, Longtang Dawu immediately let himself go and designed moves as difficult as possible. Anyway, there was only one principle: do it as cool as possible.

Kyogoku really deserves to be the top 0. Even if he holds back his strength and only uses all kinds of fancy moves, he still fights with great vigor and vitality, which is a feast for the eyes.

Combined with stunts and special effects, the scene of Ultraman fighting the little monsters looks extremely exciting and thrilling.

Especially the last Specium ray, it is so handsome!

In the end, the little monster fell to the ground, Ultraman won a great victory and flew away, and the human form Hayata Shin returned.

The worried heroine Fuji Akiko rushed over in a hurry.

The first episode ended with the two people staring at each other in silence.

Fuji Akiko here is played by Suzuki Sonoko.

Originally, Onino Takeshi only planned to let her make a cameo appearance, but under Kyogoku Makoto's roundabout request and Suzuki Sonoko's own wishes, she was chosen to play the role instead.

Afterwards, Kyogoku Makoto acted very seriously and worked hard without complaint...

Closer to home.

The three little ones watched the whole process attentively, especially the final battle scene, which made them shout and scream with excitement.

Yuan Tai crossed his hands like Ultraman and automatically dubbed, "Look at my Specium beam! Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Mitsuhiko cooperated by falling backwards and yelled, "Ah, Bermuda is dead!"

"Hahaha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Ayumi and Huihara Ai pouted at the same time: "Childish boy."

Conan was eager to join Genta and the others, but was afraid of being called childish, and his expression was conflicted.

He had to admit that this Ultraman movie was really exciting to watch, and even a high school student like himself was attracted to it.

After watching one episode, the little ones looked very excited.

"It's worthy of being Brother Wu's work, it's really beautiful~" Yuantai looked unsatisfied.

Mitsuhiko teased, "You were just shouting that you wanted to watch Kamen Rider."

He was also very happy that the drama filmed by his uncle was so good.

Yuan Tai curled his lips: "This is different, "Kamen Rider" is good, "Ultraman" is also good, oh, anyway, they are all good~"

"But the two dramas are broadcast at about the same time, which one will you watch?"

"This one……"

Yuantai was very conflicted and fell into the trouble of happiness.

Conan and Haibara Ai looked at each other. From the moment Genta didn't mention "Kamen Rider" at the first time, "Ultraman" had already won.

That guy Gui Yewu succeeded again!

……

However, things don't seem to be as Conan thought.

When the ratings of "Ultraman" came out the next day, countless people showed surprised expressions.

The ratings were 7.1%, ranking third in the same period!

It seems good, but two of the other four major TV stations broadcast life programs. In other words, in the children's theater during this time period, "Ultraman" is almost at the bottom.

The latest episode of "Kamen Rider" broadcast by Nichiren TV had a viewership rating of over 20%, which was a complete crushing victory.

When the news came out, the first people to get excited were the senior executives of other TV stations.

During this period, Dongdu TV's ratings have been rising steadily thanks to the TV series "Li Gou Hai" and variety shows such as "Neon's Got Talent", "Who Wants to Be a Billionaire" and "The Voice of Nature", which has changed its previous sluggish appearance.

The ratings have exceeded the highest peak since the 90s, making other TV stations feel threatened.

Now that "Ultraman" has flopped, they are naturally gloating.

You deserve it! I let you do this, a salted fish should behave like a salted fish!

More importantly, Gui Yewu’s undefeated golden body... was broken!
Therefore, the next ones to get excited were the media.

As a troublemaker who always looks for trouble, you can always trust the media's non-existent moral integrity.

When you are popular, they will naturally praise you in various ways, but once you fall from grace, they will not feel any psychological burden to kick you when you are down.

Therefore, the next day, overwhelming news spread.

"Ultraman's premiere was a flop, with the ratings ranking at the bottom!"

"Ultraman VS Kamen Rider? Ultraman loses miserably!"

"A Don Quixote-like challenge, Kamen Rider's status as the king of special effects dramas is unshakable!"

"Big failure! Onino Takeshi's Waterloo!"

"Big shock! This is the first failure of the genius supervisor!"

"..."

Negative news is coming in waves!

Although "Ultraman" was produced by Tsuburaya, Takeshi Onino only provided an idea and related settings. Strictly speaking, it cannot be completely regarded as his work, but the media doesn't care about these.

How could the little-known Tsuburaya be such a genius director with such explosive features?

Perhaps it was because Takeshi Ono had always been too successful, and now seeing his "failure", the media immediately gathered around him like bloodthirsty sharks.

They were about to vomit when reporting the news about Onino Takeshi's success, and it was so hard to see his Waterloo, isn't this eye-popping? !

In fact, the 4.7% viewership rating is not too bad, but it is slightly weaker than Onino Takeshi's previous programs. The media immediately seized on it and exaggerated it, as if Onino Takeshi had suffered a disastrous defeat.

Of course, the purpose is to attract attention and gain popularity.

They got what they wanted. Gui Yewu had seen many successes, but this was the first time he failed. A large number of people were attracted.

I didn't know it before, but now I know that Takeshi Onino has a special effects drama released, but the result seems to be unsatisfactory.

They all became interested.

As for those who are jealous of Gui Yewu, they are now opening champagne to celebrate.

Tsk tsk tsk, how come Gui Yewu fell down when they haven't even made a move yet? It turns out that if you don't seek death, you won't die!
What makes them even more excited is that "Ultraman" not only had poor ratings, but also had poor reputation.

When the reviews for the first episode came out, most were filled with doubts.

"It's ridiculous! An alien comes to Earth to maintain peace for no reason. Where's the logic? It's not an American!"

"If Ultraman can share life, why not just revive Hayata Shin? It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Also, since the Specium Ray can kill with one strike, why didn't Ultraman use it at the beginning, instead of wasting his energy first?"

"..."

The audience was talking about it, and the complaints were mainly focused on a few logical flaws.

Even Takeshi Ono could not deny this.

Because he also wants to know the answers to these questions!

But the problem is that Tsuburaya originally set it up this way, what can he do? !

Especially the last one.

I believe that any viewer who has watched the Ultraman series will have similar doubts.

Yes, since Ultraman has a special move, why does he have to wait until the red light comes on before using it?
You have to be beaten up before you start to explode, so it seems that you really need to accumulate anger points first.

There are many guesses.

But from a practical point of view, the exciting part of this drama lies in Ultraman fighting the little monsters. If this part is reduced too much, it will be difficult to support the ratings unless the plot is exciting enough.

But the fighting scenes cannot be too long, otherwise it will destroy the integrity of the plot.

The conclusion is, fighting scenes are necessary. It is not appropriate if they are too long or too short, and the right balance must be struck.

At the same time, it can also highlight the difficulty of the hero's victory.

Kill two birds with one stone!
This is the most reasonable explanation.

Of course, these are just Takeshi Onino's own guesses. Only Eiji Tsuburaya himself knows the truth.

Despite the logical flaws, Takeshi Onino still continued these settings. After all, if they were changed, Ultraman would lose its original flavor.
