The Legend of Ultra Galaxy Begins with Tiga

"I now even suspect that Mr. Madoka Eiji may have made a mistake in choosing me. I simply do not possess such talent."

Jin Cheng finished speaking and sighed deeply.

You can hear it.

He suffered a lot during this period.

Fujishu listened, with mixed emotions surging in his heart.

It turns out...the creation of Ultraman was not all smooth sailing. Although "Ultraman" began airing two weeks after the completion of "Ultra Q", in fact, the idea of ​​"Ultraman" had already appeared when "Ultra Q" was being filmed.

Facing the dejected look on Tetsuo Kaneshiro's face.

After thinking for a moment, Fujishu spoke slowly.

"Mr. Jincheng, I think...what we need is a hero."

"hero?"

"You mean... like Superman?" Tetsuo Kaneshiro immediately thought of the classic comic "Superman".

But soon he shook his head again.

"Superman's style doesn't really fit with us, and that's not the kind of story we want to create."

Tetsuo Kaneshiro had thought about this direction before, but it was quickly rejected by director Tsuburaya.

After all, the main point of their creation of the monster series, especially "Ultra Q", is to reflect the problems exposed in the current society and cause people to reflect.

"No, Mr. Jincheng." Fujiki said to him seriously, "It's not Super man, but...Ultra man."

"Ultraman?"

"Correct."

"When people encounter a crisis that cannot be solved, Ultraman will appear as a hero."

"He can be a giant as huge as a monster, coming from outer space, helping people solve problems they can't solve."

Fujiki's words were as light as wings.

But to Tetsuo Kaneshiro's ears, it was like a huge rock that stirred up huge waves.

"Wait a minute!" Jincheng shouted, feeling as if he had grasped something vague in his head.

He quickly picked up the pen on the table and started writing and drawing on the draft paper.

"Continue to retain the monster elements... and then add a hero who can fight monsters on this basis..." Jincheng muttered to himself as he wrote.

"If Ultra Q is about raising problems and letting humans solve them themselves... then this script can solve the problems that have troubled me before. A hero who can solve problems that humans cannot cope with... Yeah."

"I can even make the conflict more acute... and let this... this Ultraman solve it. This way, it can make people reflect, but it won't make the audience feel fearful and desperate when watching it, because our hero can bring hope."

"And...what else..."

Jin Cheng thought of this and scratched his cheek, and the fleeting inspiration disappeared.

It made him a little irritated.

He felt that what he thought of now was just the tip of the iceberg.

I need more inspiration!

Jin Cheng thought so, then turned his head and looked at Fujishu with burning eyes. He stood up and walked in front of Fujishu, patted Fujishu's shoulders with both hands, and said sincerely: "Fujimoto-kun, please help me again!"

"Please tell me...what kind of existence is the Ultraman in your mind?"

Fujishu was stunned after hearing this.

The question wasn't asking him what Ultraman looked like.

But something deeper...what exactly is Ultraman to Fujiki.

The dozens of tall figures that he had seen in his previous life kept flashing through Teng Shu's mind. Those majestic giants of light brought him... so much.

Now at this moment, he was sitting here and talking with Jincheng.

We're not just discussing the script for Ultraman.

But...through the man who created Ultraman, and the heroes who have had a profound impact on him.

"Ultraman...Ultraman is a very special existence to me..." Fujiki's thoughts were surging in his mind, and he opened his mouth to answer Jincheng's question.

But he found that his throat had become a little hoarse.

Fujiki took a deep breath.

Organize your emotions.

Smiled slightly.

after that.

He spoke again.

Chapter 148 Ultraman

"Ultraman is a hero."

In the dimly lit Showa-style editorial office, Fujiki looked into Tetsuo Kaneshiro's eyes and spoke these words word by word.

The half-drawn blinds blocked most of the sunlight, and only a small amount of light shone into the room. There was a desk lamp on Tetsuo Kaneshiro's desk in the corner, providing light for his creations.

A beam of sunlight came in through the gap in the blinds and stood between the two of them.

Through this beam of sunlight, both sides could hardly see each other clearly.

"To me...Ultraman is not just a screen character who specializes in fighting monsters." Fujiki said to the beam of light.

"Ultraman may appear to be a story about Ultraman fighting monsters, but it should never be just something so superficial."

"In the story of Ultraman, countless real-life problems will be revealed. This is its core and soul."

"Different people will resonate with the different issues revealed in Ultraman, and in the midst of the horror of reality, Ultraman himself will serve as a hero and bring hope to people."

“People of different ages can gain different things from watching Ultraman.”

"When I was young, what I learned from Ultraman was that no matter what difficulties I encountered in my future life, I should not give up my dreams and become a kind and gentle person."

“When you grow up and look back, you will find that you had foreseen the setbacks you encountered when you were young, and the answers to these setbacks were already buried in your heart.”

"Compassion for the weak, helping each other, people should maintain an inextinguishable passion for each other. In the face of cruel reality, even if this feeling is betrayed a thousand times, it must never be forgotten."

Fujiki's voice continued to fall into Tetsuo Kaneshiro's ears.

It was as if the real Ultraman appeared before him.

Every word brought him great shock.

He originally wanted to try to use a pen to record the countless inspirations that were bursting out of his mind at this moment, but he gave up because... there were too many of them, and the pictures in his mind could no longer be described with a pen.

But he already knew what angle to use to create a new script.

Fujishu's words coincided with some vague concepts that he had expected in his mind, as if he was supposed to do this, as if it was a kind of destiny, he had to do it this way.

Tetsuo Kaneshiro has already decided in his mind that he must leave some profound content in his creation, something that people can still reflect on when they recall it even after decades or hundreds of years.

After all, the times are constantly progressing, and future photography and post-production technologies will surely surpass the present. Perhaps in the future people will look down upon the works of this era in terms of images, but for the humanities and society, things that are profound enough will only become brighter and brighter with the polishing of time.

Born in Okinawa, Tetsuo Kaneshiro had a desire for peace since he was young and looked forward to a future where people could understand each other.

And now, he has found a way to realize his dream.

"Mr. Fujimoto, thank you!" Jincheng stood up excitedly, bowed deeply to Fujimoto, and felt deeply sorry for his previous contempt.

What Fujishu said today not only solved his problem, but also helped him find the direction of his life.

From any perspective, he should thank Fujishu.

But in fact, these are things that he will understand on his own sooner or later. Fujishu just brought this time forward a little.

So, Fujishu waved his hand and said, "You don't have to thank me. In fact, in a sense...I should thank you."

If Tetsuo Kinjo had not set the main tone for the Ultraman series from the first generation and the Seven period, the subsequent heroes would have lost their souls.

Fujiki spent his lonely childhood in the company of Ultraman. Deeply influenced by Ultraman, he became a person who always maintains enthusiasm. Although he once forgot that enthusiasm, he eventually embarked on the path of becoming a hero and moved forward unswervingly.

"Thank me...?" Jincheng raised his head and asked in confusion.

He didn't understand why Fujishu wanted to thank him, even though it was Fujishu who had been helping him with inspiration since the beginning.

"Nothing." Fujishu smiled and did not continue to delve into the topic.

Jincheng also sat back in his chair.

While picking up the pen, he said, "Regarding the image of Ultraman... I have some ideas now."

He simply drew some rough patterns on the draft paper.

Then he raised it and asked Fujiki: "What do you think of me setting Ultraman as an alien from space? It should have broad bird wings and look very strong..."

Tetsuo Kaneshiro introduced it with gestures.

But the bird-man pattern really made Tengshu feel a little bit irritating to the eyes.

So he immediately rejected Jin Cheng's proposal: "No, this image is absolutely not acceptable!"

"Ultraman should be a tall and mighty giant."

"By the way...Where is Mr. Madoka Eiji now? He has seen Ultraman before, so we can just ask him directly."

Jincheng felt a little disappointed when he heard Fujiki rejected the image he designed.

But after hearing the following words, his eyes widened: "Mr. Madoka Eiji, he... has he seen Ultraman?"

"Does Ultraman really exist?!"

"This...isn't this something you just made up?"

Fujiki saw his reaction and smiled: "Ultraman is real, and maybe... you can see him too."

"Now, let's go find Mr. Madoka Eiji first."

"Ah good."
