I believe that many of my friends have a heroic feeling in their hearts. Every time they see the heroes defeating the enemy with handsome moves, they all look like people are excited. They want to be part of them and fight with them to save the world. Then, if one day, the tastes of the masses in the real world have changed. What do people happen to those decent and protagonists who don’t like them any more, even if they don’t even entertain them? .

In June 2017, on a crowdfunding website in Japan, a particularly eye-catching crowdfunding movie project “ HE-LOW . . ” appeared. “HE-LOW” tells that in a world where a special hero exists, the hero of justice is no longer loved by everyone, the hero of the five-color warrior is defeated to the enemy, and then in a heroic show of the wicked protagonist, he is gloomy and boring. Day. However, with the protagonist and the former five-color warrior companions, and the protagonist of the two major special heroes of Japan – giant heroes, insect mask heroes, how the protagonist took the world from the evil people in the hands of the protagonist Come back to the story. If you only read the story, it seems that it is just a special film with a different viewpoint, but what everyone cares about is that the promoter of this crowdfunding film is the famous special photo actor Takano Yasu. .

I believe that there are quite a few friends, especially those who like special photos must be very familiar with Takano Bashin. Takano, a child star, has performed many types of works, and he can be seen in many Japanese TV dramas and advertisements. In 1998, Takano Bashin played “Aguru Altman” in the famous Japanese special photo “Gaya Altman”, which made the fans familiar with it. In 2002, Takano Bashin played the role of “Kamen Rider Sea Breeze” in the “Kamen Rider Dragon Rider”, becoming the first and only special photographer who has played both Altman and Kamen Rider. The actor, this event once became a topic of special photography, and he himself has established a reputation in the special world from that moment on. Afterwards, many special photos invited him to perform and became a frequent visitor in the special photo world. .

Such a well-known special actor, why would you want to make a special movie? As the “HE-LOW” supervised Takano Bashin, in the introduction of the crowdfunding project, the usual protagonists and enemies are evenly matched, and the enemy will eventually be defeated by the protagonists of justice. Then, if one day the protagonists are defeated by the enemy, what about such a world? After taking part in the long-time special shooting, he always wanted to have the opportunity to make a special photo of himself. Now with the help of CG technology and some friends in the circle, even a personal or small team can shoot a special photo that can convey their own ideas, so that they can be shot by crowdfunding. The actor himself photographed the idea of a special photo. .

In the early days of the crowdfunding movie project, the lineup of the performance “HE-LOW” was quite luxurious. The film invited the scriptwriter Xiao Linxiong of the Altman series to write scripts for the works, and invited them to In the “Ottoman”, “Aiguchi” of “Zagulas Zagula (ジャグラス・ジャグラー)”, “Gayaoka” who performed “Gaya Ottoman” in “Gayatman” And three famous special actors who performed “Kamen Rider Dragon Rider” in “Kamen Rider Dragon Rider” in the movie. .

The movie crowdfunding target is 1 million yen. After the project was released, it immediately became a topic in the special photo circle. Many fans have joined this crowdfunding, including many Japanese overseas fans. . In the end, when the project was completed one month later, more than 10.7 million yen was raised, and crowdfunding was completed 10 times the target amount. Takano Bashin was also inspired by everyone’s enthusiasm and decided to invite more famous telephoto people to participate in the production and performance. In the final public list of the film, many of the friends in the circle came to participate in supporting the performance, such as “The Cosmic Criminal Jiabang” in the first generation “Gabang” actress Da Ye Jian Er, and “Computer Chivalrous” in the “Jiro” The actor is accompanied by Dasuke. In addition, some heavyweight guests were invited to participate in the production of the film, such as the invitation of the supervision of “Kamen Rider BLACK RX”, the famous character designer Yu Gong Q . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ingtai is the title inscription of the movie, the famous combination JAM Project . provides the works. Theme song. Many senior photographers have also taken part in the competition. From the Showa to the Heisei, from the Round Valley to the Dongying Department, they are all involved. It can be said that it is a dream lineup of special shooting circles.

After a year of shooting, “HE-LOW” was officially released in Japan in July this year. At the premiere, Takano Yasu, who is the filmmaker, once again thanked the fans for their support, saying that they did not think about raising the target 10 times or more, and planned to start the continuation of “HE-LOW”. I hope that fans who like special photos can continue to support. .

In this movie crowdfunding, Chinese special fans also supported a lot. In order to thank the Chinese fans for their support, after a month of filming, Takano Bashin and another starring, together with the famous actor’s Sugawara, came to the “HE-LOW” main promotion at the 57th YACA Comic Con. The exchange meeting, together with the special fans of China, shared the thoughts of the special shooting for many years, and the experience of creating “HE-LOW”. Before the exchange meeting, a meeting for domestic media was held. We also asked the two to ask some questions that fans are very concerned about. The following are two media interviews. .

Q : First of all, congratulations on the special film directed by Mr. Takano. HE-LOW 』Successfully completed, this time the actors are basically experienced in performing special performances, including singing songs. JAM Project also sang “Domi Hero.” – . The theme song of special dramas such as the Fire Rescue Team (トミカヒーローレスキューファイアー) can tell you how everyone came together? .

高野八诚: . JAM Project is a very great combination in the animation industry and in the special photography world. Although I feel that it is very rude to send an invitation from me, I went to the office and went to the negotiations in person. Can we use a theme song for us? This is the opportunity we know. Regardless of the relevant person of the JAM Project, or the JAM Project himself, they sang the songs of the special photos, and they also watched the dragon ride. It is such a group of people, so they said that if the Eight Honor is going to star, then help So let us use one of the album “TOKYO DIVE” to do the OP. .

Q : “HE-LOW” The initial crowdfunding target of this movie is 1 million yen, but the result is 10 million yen. Can Mr. Takano talk about the production of this movie? .

高野八诚: . This crowdfunding is also a new attempt. I heard from friends that there is crowdfunding. He said that you can try it, so this time, whether it’s crowdfunding or making movies, it’s all for me. challenge. This time, no matter the performance or behind the scenes, there are very well-known people involved. I think the audience’s response will be very strong. So I set a crowdfunding target of 1 million, but I raised 10 times the money. It is really beyond Imagine. Although everyone is under a lot of pressure, in order to be able to create works that better meet the needs of the audience than originally planned, everyone is united. .

Q : This movie “HE-LOW” has been involved in different special productions both in front of the stage and even behind the scenes. What do Mr. Takano think about this cooperation with seniors and juniors? .

高野八诚: . Before working together, both before and after the scene, many people said that the project was very interesting and they all came in. Anyway, come here, I want you to experience the joy of your own creation that you can’t feel at the shooting scene in Round Valley or Toei. I hope this work will make everyone happy. In this sense, I think everyone is very happy this time. .

Q : Mr. Takano has also participated in the shooting of “Ottoman (ウルトラマン)” and “Kamen Rider (仮面ライダー)”, and this time. HE-LOW 』 is a super-team-like work. What are the different feelings of shooting a huge hero special shot and a special hero? .

高野八诚:Altman is going to get bigger. This time we separated the special group and the plot group. If we didn’t go to the scene, we didn’t know that the other party’s shooting had been completed to this extent. The two groups were indeed separated very far. I have the scene of the transformation, and I took the same bus with the actor of the Kamen Rider to the scene. Because I changed my body and then I was connected, I was able to talk to the Kamen Rider in the prop. I think The working environment of the Kamen Rider is better, so this is different. .

Q : Mr. Takano of the “Gaya Ottoman (ウルトラマンガイア)” played by Mr. Takano and the handcuffs of the “Kamen Rider Dragon Rider” and the “Kamen Rider.” THE . The characters in the 』 series are very popular among fans because of their unique ideas, tragic fate and relationship with the protagonist. Can you talk about these three roles? .

高野八诚: . Including other film works, I rarely get the role of the orthodox protagonist, like “Gaya Altman” of “Gaya Altman”, is a very cold character, in the dragon ride, although The idea is very just, but the role is a very cold character. I think that the general demand for me is a relatively cold role, but such a protagonist seems to be very popular with children, maybe their mother will be such a second protagonist. More interested, this is my impression of the role. .

Q : Mr. Takano Yasaka, you have starred in the 30th anniversary of the Kamen Rider, “Kamen Rider THE FIRST” and “Kamen Rider THE NEXT”. I would like to ask you to be keen on the Kamen Rider series before this. Which works? .

高野八诚: . 『FIRST』 and 『NEXT』 are the work I received after I have appeared in two transformations before, why I have three chances to participate in the evolution of the works, I feel very much myself. Confused. All in all, in order not to be rude to Mr. Fujioka Hiroshi and Mr. Sasaki, who have worked together in two works before, don’t undermine the impression, I have racked my brains. .

Q : In the “Fake Kamen Rider” theatrical version “EPISODE FINAL”, in addition to playing “Dragon Riding”, Mr. Sue also starred in the “Dragon Tooth” mirror, the first in the film. What does the protagonist and the final villain feel? .

须贺贵匡: . I am able to play two roles in the movie. I feel very lucky as an actor. I think this performance is very meaningful and the process of shaping the character is very interesting. .

Q : Mr. Suga has appeared in the “Kamen Rider Dragon Rider”. After the end of the “Dragon Ride”, he is also very active in the activities of other Kamen Riders. It can be said that Mr. Suga is your “Dragon Ride”. Is the feeling or feeling of the work? .

须贺贵匡: . At the time, I was twenty-three or four years old. For the career of an actor, it can be said that it was just getting started. I used it as my origin, and I will continue to cherish this work in the future. .

Q : Mr. Suga thinks that the film atmosphere of this film will be different from the past? .

须贺贵匡: . This time, “HE-LOW” gathers the staff who have been active in the Kamen Rider series and the Altman series, and worked with the staff in the TV series and the theatrical version I shot. This time everyone showed their own personality and was very happy. I think this is the most prominent difference. .

Q : Mr. Suga has participated in the shooting of the local special photo “Tie Shen Yanguang NEO2”. May I ask Mr. Suga, what special charm does the local special photo have? .

须贺贵匡: . I think that because the restrictions are relatively small, the idea that the idea can be free is its characteristic. It is different from the existing Kamen Rider or Altman, and is beyond the two, and the freedom of construction of the world view. Very high, these are its charm. .

Q : In this “HE-LOW”, there are quite a few opponents with the predecessor’s Kamen Riders, then have you communicated with them during the time outside the show? ? Are there any good guidance for getting a lot of benefits? .

高野八诚:At the shooting scene, I have explained my requirements and goals to everyone. The rest will let everyone play freely under their own goals. They will not guide everyone. Instead, they will let everyone play the interesting scenes they have come up with. This is a great help for me. .

须贺贵匡: . During the filming, we will discuss how to play together. For this work, there will be less discussion like you should play and play. .

Q : Generally speaking, there are professional holster actors performing in the performance of Kamen Rider. In the many plots of the two performances, there is a fight. You want to try one yourself. What about Fan? .

高野八诚: . This time, “HE-LOW” I tried wearing a mask and I felt very difficult to breathe. After wearing it for 30 seconds, I felt that I couldn’t move hot. I regret that I was not shooting Gaia and Dragon Rider. I have tried, even now, I admire the actors, they sometimes wear equipment to the scene, “FIRST” is like that, and then play action, I think they are too hard. .

须贺贵匡: . I think it’s very interesting to create a character with an actor and an ordinary actor. The holster is really a professional profession, I think it is very powerful. My character is often in a weak position and is always beaten, so I want to be the one who beats. .

高野八诚: . Suddenly became a primary school student. (laughs).

Q : Since last year’s “God Godzilla”, the special movie has been further pushed to the world. For the two, what is the special charm? .

高野八诚: . Being able to get such an opportunity is also a proof that special photography has become more widely known. It is not limited to special photos. What Japan is good at, such as animation, can spread to all parts of the world. It is a very happy thing, hope. Through my work, more people can know about special photos and spread them more widely. .

须贺贵匡: . I think the word “special photo” will make the audience smaller, because the female audience is not easy to accept. If it is used as an entertainment program, I think this is the experience of both adults and children. The type of dream and romance, I think this is the charm of it. .

Q : In recent years, some special star stars have a lot of cross-border work such as seiyuu. The two are also very versatile. Will they develop in the direction of seiyuu or idol? .

高野八诚: . Compared to the conversion career, I would like to use a variety of ways to perform in the performance, such as the former Kamen Rider of the Dragon Rider, and the voice of Aguru Altman, all of which are compliant. Yes, this is also a deductive way, but the recent work with sound shows has increased. I think this is the demand of the times. This kind of work is also very happy. .

须贺贵匡: . I didn’t plan to change careers, but about performing with sound, I also did this kind of performance in various media. I personally like to use sound to perform, and I want to do more of this type of performance in the future. .

Q : Two convenient to disclose some of the next plans? .

高野八诚: . There are some activities related to “HE-LOW”, and the sequel to “HE-LOW” will be improved, hoping to make interesting works. .

须贺贵匡: . There will be stage plays and TV series, but some of the information can’t be disclosed in detail now, so much. .

Q : What are the last two words that I want to say to Chinese fans? .

高野八诚: . This time I came to China with the special photo “HE-LOW”. I have a little confidence that this work can be accepted by the Japanese, but what do people in different environments think about this work? This makes me feel uneasy, but today I saw the audience laughing so happy, I just let go of my heart, and I can accept the things that I can freely create, I am very grateful, this is the next work for me. It is an encouragement, and I hope to let more people see it again. Please continue to support me in the future. .

须贺贵匡:I am very grateful for the opportunity given me this time. I didn’t know that the special awareness of China in China was so high. I am very happy. I hope that in the future, I can create works with people in China in another form. Thank you all. .

Although the “HE-LOW” overseas media meeting was held, it has been almost a month since the film was released in Japan, but Takano Bashin is still talking about all kinds of bits and pieces about this movie. He can feel his joy from his speech. For those who like special photos, I think the movie “HE-LOW” is very worth seeing. There is a lot of special photos in the film. I believe that the fans will definitely smile when they see it. .

Regardless of whether it is in Japan or at this overseas meeting, Takano has all mentioned the sequel to the production of “HE-LOW”. In the case of the first production, there is already an unusually gorgeous production lineup. People can’t help but looking forward to the sequel’s lineup. There are now more and more different ideas or projects, and through crowdfunding, the world’s best people can come together to achieve it. The success of this “HE-LOW” has a special meaning for both the special circle and the entire ACG circle. I look forward to more and more interesting crowdfunding projects in the future, so that the same circle of different circles can be the same thing. Work together. .
