Dongying Children’s Chronicles (12)

[This week’s “Dongying Children’s Films”].

Chapter 12 The first huge robot special shot on TV.


After experiencing the “Devil King” in October 1966 and “The Captain Otter” in April 1967, the next special show of Toei Tokyo Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Go online in October 1967. Watanabe of the Dongying TV Sales Department decided that this time it is better to return to the home of Dongying, the Japanese Education TV Station (= Today’s Asahi TV Station). .

Japanese Education TV partner Dongying Tokyo Production Office, this is the same as the basic layout of “Devil Jun”. The producer of the Japanese education television station is Miyazaki Shinichi, and the producer of the Dongying side is naturally Pingshan Heng. Under the Pingshan Mountain, the auxiliary producer of Dongying, “Devil Jun” is Pingjing Jiuzhi, “Captain Aote” is Ueda Taiji, this time the new work is both. .

The theme of this new special feature show decided to be a huge robot movie. The idea of the earliest brain hole out, I don’t know, it is said that Miyazaki’s and the Pingshan literature are all there, Pingshan said more specific. In the Toei Special Feature Program, which was launched in April of the same year, the “Captain Otter” made in Tokyo was only half a year, and the “Fake Ninja of the Mask” made in Kyoto was going to be a whole year. As a producer of “Red Shadow”, Hirayama certainly has a lot of dealings with the original author Yokoyama Yokohama. One day, he found robotic manuscripts on the table of Yokoyama, which became an opportunity. .

Watanabe also agreed that if you want to make a huge robot film, of course, the preferred partner is Yokoyama. First, in this respect, Yokoyama’s “Iron Man 28” is the ancestor of the comics’ industry. Second, the line of Yokoyama and Toei is originally brought by Watanabe himself. At the same time, the program of Yokohama’s original Dongyin was also featured in “The Shadow of the Red” and the animation with “Magic Sally”, which is the honeymoon period of Toei and Yokoyama. It’s nothing more than adding one more, so that in October, three Yokohama works of Yokoyama will be broadcast on the TV. .

“Iron Man 28” had a wave of attempts to make a TV series in 1960, but there was no technology at all. It was hard to become a big robot, and it was only fired because of animation. The special camera of the huge robot, of course, was originally created by Shen Yuanying, a science fiction film “Earth Defense Army” from Dongbao in 1957. But then Dongbao insisted on the main monster and the monster to play the wrestling route. On the TV, the Round Valley Studio was also asked to continue this way, and then gradually evolved the form of the cosmic person Altman beating monsters. The huge robot on the TV became A neutral direction. .

Watanabe proposed a planning intention this time, combining Altman and the Great Devil, and the new giant robot superhero was born. “The Big Devil” is another film series that produced “The Big Monsters and the Beautiful”. It is a special drama of the era. In 1966, it was released in the golden season, summer vacation and the end of the year. The Great Devil is the patron saint who debuted in the ancient worldview environment, but the intent image in design and shape is a statue. That is to say, compared with the giant robot, it also belongs to something that is huge but has no sense of life, especially the visual aspect. .

Altman and the big devil are combined to shoot a huge robot TV series. Based on this premise, Watanabe entrusts Yokoyama to open a new comic. In this way, the ancestors of Dongying in different aspects have all had a relationship with Yokoyama, the magical girl department, the superhero system, and the huge special photography system. At that time, the “monster wave” caused by the Austrian series was still in the process. The new film “Otto” of the Round Valley Studios is waiting for everyone, so this new film is naturally a route for giant robots to fight monsters. The title is very simple and rude. If it is a simple translation, it is a “giant robot”. The Hong Kong version is commonly used as an “iron man”, and it was made into an animated version in the Heisei era. .

Yokoyama himself has to make a breakthrough with the “Iron Man 28”. The design of the Iron Man is based on the Sphinx. The Iron Man 28 is still too simple. In the same year, the Iron Man 28 was a robot operated by a remote control, but no matter whoever got the remote control, the armored man had an electronic mind. In other words, it is able to engage in authentication and is artificial intelligence. Although the remote control tool is also required, only the protagonist can use it, and the protagonist special machine. Enhance the audience’s sense of excitement, which is a step closer to the giant robots that took off in the 1970s.

The only protagonist in the setting who can manipulate the armored man is a teenager. The starring actor plays the role of “Demon King” starring Jin Guangshen. The child is one-year-old and ten years old. So small, it has been used twice by the Pingshan producers. In the future, he is still trying to get him to play the Kamen Rider. This is a postscript. The huge robot armor is a weapon developed by the enemy, but it is used by us as a protagonist. As with “Devil Jun”, it is the composition of “the same origin of the enemy and the enemy”. On this basis, it is further deepened into “the anti-water after the enemy is born.” The main script uses the “Devil King” and “Red Shadow” of Yi Shangsheng. The enemy is a complete secret organization with cadres and cadres. The protagonist fights against the monsters of the enemy organization every time, until the final battle boss=organization leader. Although the “Invisible Swordsman” and “Red Shadow” of Yishang’s leading dramas have such compositions, they are more of the meaning of the spy martial arts film extension line. The first is the background environment of the era drama. The second is a short cycle of quarterly renovation. .

And turned into the nature of the modern drama superhero film, such a main task of the protagonist is against a large, complete enemy organization, is the complete evolution of the Yi-style superhero drama. After smelting and matured in the drama of the times, and boldly carrying it into the modern drama and then transforming and sublimating, this solid foundation was finally firmly smashed in the “Iron Man”. Later, after the “Kamen Rider” produced by Toei Tokyo Production Co., Ltd. Gained explosive popularity, the enemy and me became the main purpose of the Kamen Rider series, and the enemy organization established the most basic composition of the Toei Superhero. From Toei’s expansion to Toei, from the TV series to the animation, the film from the little boy’s expansion to the little girl’s watch, extended to even the stereotyped impression or become the object of the game, but it is it’s powerful Where. .

“Iron Man” title image:.

When the first piece of music sounded, the huge armor of Gna Curry turned mechanically, accompanied by the metal-like machine colliding sound effect. The rocket on the back also began to spray, the door on the ceiling opened, and the iron man from the overhead view took off. This is another performance of the Toshiba Yoshishima Shino Supervisor of Toei Special Technology Course. This kind of performance also affects the huge robotic works that followed, including robot animation that began to break out in the 1970s. In fact, I originally wanted to take a big look from the way I looked up. As a result, this didn’t happen, because the ceiling of Gennacu was unconditional. From the perspective of the view, it was already the photography of the model doll. .

“Tiejiaren” special shots have to go up to the next level. The difficulty of the previous “Demon King” lies in the “monster”. The difficulty of Captain Otter is “the universe”. The difficulty of “Iron Man” lies in “huge.” Although there were performance monsters in the past, the monsters are not necessarily set to be huge, or the image needs a huge sense, and the whimsical fantasy drama such as “Red Shadow” is originally a ridiculous style. “Iron Man” is following the sci-fi route, the huge robots fight with the huge monsters, and it is the kind that each episode draws. .

A great sense of performance means that the most basic and versatile special photography technique is high-speed photography. Although high-speed photography is simple, it is the one that burns the most. Generally speaking, the general audience may have no real feelings. In other words, it is the most costly film. The film is gone and disappeared. It is like eating the monster. The preciousness of the film is now in the digital age. At that time, the Round Valley Studios produced the Otto series of scenes. Twenty times of the high-speed photography was simply the minimum standard. Twenty-five times and thirty times as many as 30 meters away, only the limit of the instrument was so much. The conditions at the site of Toei are limited to death, and the maximum is only 20 times. .

“Captain Aote” had been smeared with the “Altman” and had a much larger budget. “Iron Man” is also the same as “Demon King”. It is not so good. It’s a thing. In addition, at the time of “Devil Jun”, Pingshan was forced to spend three times the actual production cost of the budget, so the film is also to save money in addition to the film. For example, when the performance of a huge battle, the special performance of the aircraft has always been a point of view, the miniature model is generally made of metal. That’s too expensive. If you buy three dollars, you can use energy to go to a budget of 10% for ordinary TV dramas. Pingshan said that he is still cutting corners and using plastic models to shoot.

According to the way that modern people can understand it, it can be taken directly with the toys of Bandai. But now it seems that it is really so operation, it is already numb. But I couldn’t accept it at the time. The technicians at the special shooting scene were unhappy, and this kind of thing was a wool! The company is really great, is it still thanks to not getting a paper plane to shoot? Hirayama had to play tricks, saying that Dongying’s special technical class is a battle for five slag that can’t be shot without money. If you are really arrogant, just give me the plastic gadgets and shoot them like real images! This radical method is really useful. This group of proletarian technicians was bullied and ransacked hard and mourned for three seconds. .

The miniature model of the building was made of plaster, which is also expensive. There are also explosion shots, to make it look luxurious, gunpowder can not be used too much swollen. Special photography techniques are interoperable, and parts of special art that are subject to realistic conditions are compensated by special photography. Explosions often use long lenses to match time with high-speed photography. On the other hand, the armored man can fire a missile on his finger, and the combo can also turn the wrist while turning a short shot. .

Because this kind of special performance that fully expresses the characteristics of the robot is also a point of view, if it is a movie, the whole process of these scenes can be fully expressed, but the nature of the TV program is too short. So I had to put together the short shots of the key points, but it would lead to strange and inconsistent, and inexplicable development. Yashima special surveillance said that it doesn’t matter, children can be very happy to see these, they do not understand and will not reason with you. .

People ride on a huge robotic hand 30 meters high, when the audience dreams of a dream scene:

“Iron Man” was first broadcasted at 7:30 pm on Wednesday night, which means that the audience can watch “Red Shadow” at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, and watch “The Iron Man” at 7:30. Yokoyama Superhero Time. But the two shows are not the same TV stations after all. Four months later, “Iron Man” moved to 7:30 on Monday night, meaning that after 7:00 “Magic Sally”. It is still a string of Dongying and Yokoyama, and both are on the Japanese education television station. .

The whole film is twenty-sixth episodes in the first half of the year. Near the end of the market, I participated in the seven doors of “Devil Jun” and wrote a pen. In addition to the above-mentioned auxiliary scripts, I used Matsuda Katsuo, the adopted son of the ace of the Toei era drama in the 1950s and 1960s, and it was basically a back door of Hirayama. .

When Pingshan was not a planner and producer and was supervised as a career goal, Matsuda was supervised by his master at the Kyoto Photographic Institute. For more details, please refer to another article by Anitama. 《八手三郎诞生》. Matsuda Katsuo also entered Dongying in the same way as his sister-in-law, and also used the supervision of the film as the leveling goal. In fact, this is still the debut of his TV program. Therefore, Matsuda did not have a single copy, and they all co-authored with another auxiliary script, Abe Shou. .

This performance array, from the “Devil King” to “Captain Ott” consecutively participated in the four Dongying newcomers are in charge. The first person, Yamada, and the Showa Kamen Rider series performed the most supervision. This time, for the first time, he took on the responsibility of the first and second rounds of supervision, and he took up a total of eight books for the most performances. The second person, Takemoto Hiroshi, and later the supervised supervision of “Kamen Rider” and “The Secret Team’s Five Connected”, performed eight of the same performances as Yamada’s supervision. Next, the two assistants performed four performances each. One was the general manager of “Kamen Rider”, and the other was the script and supervision of “Kamen Rider”. .

In addition, a newcomer, Xiao Xitongxiong, was added to perform two performances. He also worked as a performance assistant in the studio that Matsuda was supervised. At that time, Xiaoxi was a novice supervisor who had debuted for less than two years, and later became the main supervisor of the Metal Hero series in the 1980s. The film’s supervisory lineup also has two long-term participations in the “Devil King” to “Otter Captain”, such as Yan Changwen and Futian Yizhi, and Xiaolin Yiming who joined the “Captain Ott”. Together, in the next 30 years, the Toshiba superhero’s supervisory lineup will be supported. The Iron Man includes eight people.

Special photo show, the trump card Yashima Shino is still the main force super-supervised, plus “Devil King” and “Captain Otto” assisted Xiaochuan Kangnan. This time, the third person became the special supervising supervisor to share the heavy responsibility. It was the former Masako Masaki who was only responsible for the performance. Dongying special technology class lacks anything to push on. Before Xiaochuan was a special photographer supervised by a photography technician, this time the warehouse was a special surveillance supervised by a technician. .

Special class, special photography, special art, synthesis three blocks, special lighting is part of special photography, the performance is part of special art. The film’s main photography technique is the teacher Lin Dixiong. The main lighting technician is Sakai Sasaki. They are all the same as the “Captain Aote”, and the Sakai, which was born in this class, is dedicated to the special class. The main force of the special art, Inoue Fan, and the main force of the synthesis, Yamada Takashi, are people since the devil. The performance technician was also the same as “Captain Otto”, and Masako Masao and Sakuji were both mainly in the light, and the city warehouse did not lose its position when it was not necessary to share the special supervision task. .

“The Iron Man” is struggling in the technical aspects of special photography. The main goal of the drama is to shape the friendship ties between the protagonist’s juvenile grass and the armor, which seems to be a cliché in the juvenile comics. Little. The armored man was originally just a pile of iron blocks and electronic instruments. The remote control was used to give instructions. The electronic mind of the armored person can identify the voiceprint to identify the identity, so no one can get the remote control device to operate. However, as the episodes and episodes progressed, the youth and the armored people gradually communicated, and the human heart began to sprout. In the second quarter of the plot, there appeared a fake masterpiece from the appearance to the voice, and the Iron Man refused to obey the order. .

The audience rating is definitely not as good as Captain Aote, but the two were not on the same level at first, and the Japanese education TV station exceeded the percentage of viewers by 20%. “Very satisfied. At the time of Captain Aote, he was shouted by the TV station and quickly finished the game. This time, he was shouted by the TV station and then continued to shoot. However, Dongying still could not continue to withdraw quickly. The reason is still the old problem, and there are already lessons from the past. This film is still in deficit. .

After all, the commercialization business has not yet been developed. It is necessary to play special photos on TV for a long time. This kind of sucking money is more powerful than blood-sucking. In any case, there is no solution, and the subsidiary of the company’s subsidiary, Round Valley Stunts. The factory was much worse at the time. If other TV stations request to take the film, Dongying may consider it, but the Japanese education TV station is the one in the East, and dare not say half. The former director of the Toei Kyoto Photography Institute, Okada, was also the managing director of Toei, and personally said that this film could not be stopped! Therefore, “Tiejiaren” decided to broadcast in half a year, so how to deal with the final outcome, the conference room began to quarrel with this matter, for a long time did not come up with a final result. .

Finally, the armored man already has his own consciousness, obviously has run out of energy but moves on his own. And ignoring the instructions issued by the remote control device, the big president of the enemy organization is clamped and held together to go to the space of the universe, and the final means are used to the same. This is the plot outline submitted by the scriptwriter Yishang. The producers of Hirayama agree with this, but the producers of Ueda feel that they are not doing well. He said that it is still necessary to let the armor life still be there. After the battle is over, the armored people will become a ride in the amusement park, because the children don’t like the dream scenes that are on the hands of huge robots, and finally come back to this scene. End. .

Pingshan does not want to plant the case, tell him two reasons. The first is that under the absolute crisis of the plot, the armored man finally acted with autonomy. You think about the enemy’s final boss, and the last resort in the case of exhausted energy, so that you can still give up nothing to survive, can’t say it right. The second is that the rides that make the Iron Man become children are not good. This is not the same as the robot that has finally become autonomous, and it is restored into a pile of iron tools. We used a half-year program to create a superhero for the children, and finally to give a tool to the end of the sun in the amusement park, this is not the case.

Ueda felt that it was reasonable to determine the outcome of the death of the armored man. In the process of describing the last death fight on the script, the armored man’s energy was exhausted, so he stood across the body and never moved again. On the control device of the masterpiece, the electronic mind of the armored man did not respond. He then rushed to climb the armor and shouted. Yamada Supervisor, who was the finalist, judged here alone, and the performance was to let the tears of the masterpiece of the masterpiece be sparked on the machine, visually giving the audience an image of what happened to the armored man. This became a popular method in the animation of the young manga after the 1980s, and it was a pioneer at the time. .

In the 1960s superhero theme program, the first broadcast of the “Responsible Final Return” works that caused great repercussions among the audience, except for “Ottoman” and “Otto” People is also a very famous example. Under the scene of Wanze’s exhaustion, the self-consciousness of the iron armor decided to go with the enemy in order to protect the juvenile and the earth, and flew together to the universe and crashed into the meteorite and disappeared into dust. The teenager yelled “Stop! Stop! Don’t go!” But the armored people ignored the instructions. After the audience watched the grown up, this became a legendary scene in their conversation. The Pingshan producer has a nickname called Love Cry, and the source is that he was crying into a ghost at the final screening of “The Iron Man”. .

After the 1970s, all generations of children who grew up watching superhero holsters often liked the initial opportunity to be powerful and handsome. They could fantasize and substitute themselves into superheroes. What is different from this kind of perspective is that the generation who experienced the war is more of a fantasy superhero, but has not yet reached the step of becoming a hero and handsome. So in the 1950s, the original superhero “Moonlight Mask” on Japanese TV was completely shaped like the “Reliable Uncle”. In the 1960s, Altman was a huge cosmic person who lacked the sense of substitution. It will also appear. .

Pingshan’s personal philosophy has always emphasized that superheroes have self-sacrifice, but later he heard that there were still audiences who had been crying for three days and three nights after reading the final return. In his later years, Pingshan also reflected on it, and it was really overdone to let the armored people disperse. After a final battle like a modern TV series, after a period of open-ended post-day talks, it seems to be a choice. You see “Kamen Rider 555” is a bit like this. The program was very popular at the time, but because the physical condition of the special photo itself was too burning and the lack of cost recovery channels at that time, the deficit had to be completed. Pingshan felt that this was also a catalyst for the end of the spurt of self-destruction. After the end of this work, Toei has not produced any special programs for half a year. This is also a unique period that has never been seen since the birth of Toei Tokyo Production Institute in 1965.
