The 33rd work of the Super Team series “The Real Swordsman of the Battle Team” celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. The official website of the Dongying Special YouTube also took the opportunity to release the free online viewing of the complete works from March 8
“The Battle of the Real Swordsman” was broadcasted in the Asahi TV stations in February 2009, by Matsuzaka Tomo, Ayumi Yuki (when shooting, the old stage name Aihiro Hiroki), Suzuki Shogo, Morita Hanase, Takata Pro, Xiang Maguiyou, Yi Bingwu Lang led the starring. This book uses “harmony” as the creative concept. The series introduces the samurai theme for the first time, and combines the era drama with the modern drama into a lot of new elements. The story tells the story of the monster organization in Santuchuan, which has come to the world to try to encroach through the “gap” that connects the underworld with the real world. In order to protect the peace of the world, the warrior of the warrior has become fierce. Fighting. In the process of confrontation with the outsiders, the young warriors grew up with the maintenance, trust and courage between people. Whether the existence of the “corruption” of “the Lord” can become a symbol of the Bushido spirit in modern society, is it the absolute condition that determines the victory… Around these issues, the 21st century warriors finally ushered in a great reunion. So what kind of secret stories are there behind this work?
Compared with the previous team production site, “The Battle Team Real Swordsman” has two huge changes, one is the first use of digital photography, and the other is to abolish the completely silent shooting
Formerly a consultant and producer of the TV business unit of Toei Co., Ltd., Suzuki, often said to the Asahi TV station that he wanted to shoot with film. Suzuki especially likes the miniature model of the huge warfare, and wants to use the film to shoot such special photography. However, the “Kamen Rider” in the next-door studio has been completely converted to digital photography since the “Kamen Rider Empty Me”, and some of the “Future Team Time Linker” in the same year as “Empty Me” has also been converted into digital photography. The “Beast of the Beasts” is still film in the filming, but it has been completely converted to digital processing in the later period. In 2008, all the TV series left only the “Super Team” and still insisted on using expensive film shooting. It can’t withstand such pressure. In 2009, with the discontinuation of Kodak’s 16mm film, even if it raised the inventory of the world, it was unable to return to the sky, and eventually had to give up film shooting, instead it introduced the latest digital cinema camera RED ONE. Photographer Matsumura said that RED ONE is a digital video camera, but it is based on the concept of film camera, so it can achieve the same shooting method as film photography, and can correspond to 16mm shock camera lens and other film cameras. The peripherals are easy to use, so that the photographic equipment and technology of the film era can be directly used
In the past team series, the method of full post-recording has been used, and no radio is taken during shooting. In “The Real Sword”, this shooting technique was abolished. Yu Dugong, the chief producer of this book, said that in the past, silent shooting was used, simply considering the efficiency of the shooting scene, and there is no direct relationship with the photographic equipment. Because silent shooting can not worry about all the surrounding noise, first take a part of the acting, and then go through the later recording. This time, the replacement of the photographic equipment was also replaced by the general photography method. Although the efficiency was just not comparable to the silent shooting in the past, the filming was smooth under the efforts of the crew to work overtime
Yudugong Xiaoming, who was assisted by the producers from the “Bearing the Sword of the Wind”, was promoted to the chief producer under the leadership of the predecessor Yuda Hideaki. In the spring of 2008, when Utsunomiya was still working as an assistant to the producer of the Kamen Rider KIVA, Dongying hoped that he would be able to hand over a work as a master producer
Utsunomiya proposed several sets of programs, one of which is “the super team of the wind”. However, when it comes to the wind, this range is too wide. In the past, there were two ninjas. “It is better to use a warrior this time!” Utsunomiya hopes that “The Real Swordsman” is a work with a high degree of freedom. The members of the Real Swordsman are not limited to the samurai. Like the “Dinosaurs’ Team of the Beasts,” they are not all dinosaurs, but also mammoths and saber-toothed tigers
The script of “The Real Sword”, Kobayashi and Utsunomiya, had cooperated in the “Booming Team Adventurer”. The excellent script written by Kobayashi has made Utsunomiya a vivid sight, and it is also a time drama enthusiast. Utsunomiya went to Kobayashi earlier than usual, and Kobayashi quickly agreed
Kobayashi initially used the “General” (probationれん坊General) as the prototype, the protagonist Zhen Jianhong・志Ye Zhangzhen set the role of Tokugawa Yoshizumi = Tokugawa Shinsuke as enlightened. However, this kind of personality is exactly the same as the previous work “The Flame of the Yanshen Team”, the red song・So I had to change the settings. Because it is a warrior, when the five people stand together, it is not a super team, but a master and four family members. Xiaolin thinks that since it is a samurai-themed work, if there is no identity, then it is not like a warrior. The supervision of Nakazawa Yujiro who participated in the discussion also appreciated this. At this time, Kobayashi suggested that the protagonists in the often bright era dramas often have dual identities and have unknown aspects. If Zhang is the lord, it is better to let him appear as a substitute for the real lord as a “shadow martial artist”. This is more in line with the common sense of the era drama. The other members’ settings are also adjusted according to the tips given by Kobayashi. For the idea that the added sixth person was too originally a ninja, Kobayashi gave a negative, and thought it was inappropriate, and eventually changed to selling sushi
For the names of the patriots of Zhi Ye, there was originally a plan to call it “less master” in the early stage and “protagonist” in the later stage, and Yudugong’s opinion was to start from the beginning. As a title, Kobayashi began to have doubts about the title of “the Lord”. After all, it was based on modernity. If it was called “the Lord” at the beginning, it might be regarded as a laughingstock by the audience, but in the end, the idea of Utsunomiya was adopted. What makes Kobayashi even more troublesome is how to incorporate the “Shadow Warrior” setting into the plot. It was intended to reveal this identity in the summer or autumn, and as a result, many things were delayed until the end. Because there is no blood source of the family, Zhang Yu is uneasy about not being able to use the scythe, and he also has an overreaction to the monster’s “lie”. These details are also revealed to him as a “shadow martial artist”. The foreshadowing of identity. The Asahi TV station also had a headache for the protagonist who had such a setting, but eventually passed the program
Kobayashi is also very satisfied with the casting of this book, especially the role of the real sword blue, “no acting can be played well”, Xiaolin also praised the performance of Xiangye Yushu. By the way, the 15th anniversary of the debut of Aiba will be held in Shanghai on June 29th. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those who like real swords and like them. Another actor who has a good reputation is Yi Bingwulang, who plays the lower part of Yanma. Xiaolin praises him as a figure who came out of the drama of the times. For the lines in the play, Xiaolin said that there is no difficulty. After all, he likes the drama of the times from elementary school and middle school. He has a lot of research on the drama of the times. Of course, he is more satisfied with the fact that he can see wonderful plays
Guided by Zhong Zexiang Jiro from the “Real Swordsman” innovation, in addition to the two photography methods mentioned above, the other is the team’s first 3D theatrical version. Although it seems that only two cameras are shooting at the same time, the technical adjustment is a big challenge. It took a long time to start shooting. After all, not only all the scenes have to be shot with 3D photography, but the later processing is also full 3D, which takes a lot of effort
“The Real Swordsman” is characterized by “harmony”, which is to reflect “what is a warrior.” Because the real sword red and other real swords are between the monarch and the minister, so the angle of view and the station need to pay special attention when shooting. When it comes to warriors, what is naturally associated with is “loyalty”, “the real knife is a real gun, and it is a dead battle.” With such a stereotype, it is more familiar to take a picture. In addition, although this setting of Zhang Ying is a “shadow martial artist”, although he realized it at the beginning, Nakazawa did not tell the setting of Matsuzaka Tori and other actors who played the role of Zhang, and even knew this setting. Yanma also did not know, and Utsunomiya believed that this way, he could play the actors’ acting skills more effectively. This group of actors was thus “played” by them in the palm of their hands
