Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

Looking at the shocked expression on Okada Shigeru's face, Lin Daoqiu knew that he had never thought that he would advise him not to spend too much money on the movie "Kamen Rider". That was because Lin Daoqiu knew about "Kamen Rider".

The theatrical version of "Knight" did not earn a high profit, and there was a very obvious gap compared with "Godzilla".

If "Kamen Rider" must be put on the big screen, the amount of investment must be reduced to a very small amount, otherwise it will definitely lose money.

"Although "Kamen Rider" and "Godzilla" are both special effects dramas, the types of the two movies are actually very different. "Godzilla" is more suitable for special effects movies. Although it is a monster, it is

In fact, it can be classified as a science fiction film, but "Kamen Rider" is different, otherwise I would have made "Ultraman" instead of "Godzilla"."

Toho also has the same tokusatsu drama "Ultraman" as Toei, but when Hayashi Michio did not choose "Ultraman" but "Godzilla", you can imagine his interest in adapting this type of genre into a movie.

I'm not optimistic about getting it on the big screen.

Okada Shigeru, who had originally planned to invest 10 billion yen in "Kamen Rider", felt his heart drop after hearing Lin Daoqiu's words.

"I'm sorry, President Okada. I just gave the answer based on my own experience. It doesn't matter if you don't like it, but I still say the same thing. I don't recommend spending too much on "Kamen Rider"

Money, even if Toho came to me to film "Ultraman", I would reply to them with the same words."

Hearing this, Okada Shigeru smiled awkwardly. He originally thought he could make a lot of money from "Kamen Rider", but unfortunately, the treasure in his own eyes was simply a loser in Lin Daoqiu's eyes.

, which made Okada Shigeru a little sad.

Seeing Okada Shigeru's appearance, Lin Daoqiu didn't know how to comfort him, but the fact is the fact. If you must make "Kamen Rider", you can't make a special photo drama, but use high technology like North American superheroes.

Show more.

It's just that Lin Daoqiu doesn't plan to spend too much time on Neon's special photography dramas. With this time, he would rather shoot North American superheroes, because those are the projects that can really make big money, even "Kamen Rider"

No matter how good your photography is, you can only make some money in Asia at most. As for foreigners, even if you can make money, I'm afraid you won't be able to make much money.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin, I understand what you mean."

Not long after Okada Shigeru left, Maekawa Kiyonori also came over. I wonder if he heard that Okada Shigeru came to find Lin Daoqiu but didn't call him, so he rushed over in a hurry. After all, during this time Maekawa

Qingnori and Lin Daoqiu met very rarely. It was inevitable that he and Okada Shigeru would have some sense of crisis. This sense of crisis came from their betrayal of Lin Daoqiu, or their disagreement with Lin Daoqiu.

sequelae.

Initially involved in the planning were Toei Co., Ltd.'s TV director Watanabe Ryōtoku, producer Hirayama Hiroshi, planner Kato Noboru, and original author Shotaro Ishimori. During the planning, producer Hirayama Hiroshi's staff summoned Ichikawa Moriichi and Uehara Masami.

, Igami Masaru and other elite screenwriters conducted seminars on new heroes.

It doesn't matter if Okada Shigeru insists on filming it, but Lin Daoqiu will not interfere in the production of this film. He will let Magic Studio give more help to "Kamen Rider" at that time, but as for what will be filmed in the future

That way it's not something Lin Daoqiu needs to worry about.

"Why is it such a coincidence? President Okada has just left and you are here. Did you guys agree on this?"

In the end, everyone present reached a consensus that the theme of "Masked Heroes" should be adopted, and they all had a premonition that the craze of so-called "Masked Works" would come again. The original author and designer Shotaro Ishimori also

I have the same opinion. In particular, Mori Ichikawa is very concerned about the "masks" that hide human faces, and hopes to make one

This is a tokusatsu drama that has a certain level of storytelling even among sub-genres' works. At the same time, Mainichi Broadcasting has also paid a lot of attention to this work, which is very likely to be a big success, and summoned Hirose Ryuichi as director, Shono

The director of the film department, Yoshiteru Hino, the director of the film department, and others attended the planning meeting and spared no effort in the birth of a new hero.

After all, "Kamen Rider" is a tokusatsu drama that is very meaningful to Toei.

The planning of "Kamen Rider" began in 1969. Osaka's daily broadcasts were suppressed by adult programs due to children's programs, resulting in bleak ratings. Therefore, Toei Co., Ltd. was commissioned to produce a new hero work, and the time slot was every Saturday and seven nights

Half past eight to eight o'clock.

Okada Shigeru nodded, but looking at his expression, you could tell that he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

When Okada Shigeru left, Lin Daoqiu could clearly feel that his steps were staggering, but if he was soft-hearted about such an impossible thing, he would be the only one who would be unlucky in the end, so Lin Daoqiu had not thought about filming "Kamen Rider".

Even the director is not willing.

Their request was to choose life-size heroes instead of the giant heroes that were popular at the time. First, they emphasized the fear that happened around them, and second, because tokusatsu dramas about giant heroes required the production of miniature models, which were required after each shooting.

It would be a huge financial burden to rebuild after damage.

Looking at Maekawa Kiyonori with a respectful expression in front of him, although Lin Daoqiu didn't know why he came to see him, he was sure that Maekawa Kiyonori must have come here specially after knowing that Okada Shigeru came to visit him, otherwise he would

It's a bit unreasonable to suddenly come over without contacting him.

It can be said that the hero that Toei spent a lot of effort to create has no value in Lin Daoqiu's eyes. Although Okada Shigeru can understand, he still feels very chilled.

"No, no, I just happened to be passing by. Did President Okada come here just now? What did he talk to you about?"

Maekawa Kiyonori couldn't say he was disgusted with Okada Shigeru's approach, but he was very worried about the benefits of Okada Shigeru secretly taking away Lin Daoqiu without telling him, and if he didn't know, then Maekawa Kiyonori would be the most helpless.

things to accept.

"Nothing, just a casual chat, but President Okada just mentioned to me that Toei is planning to invest a sum of money to shoot a special effects blockbuster."

"Toei wants to make a special effects blockbuster? Is Okada Shigeru crazy? With Toei's strength, can they afford it?"

When Maekawa Kiyonori heard what Hayashi Daoqiu said, he immediately opened his eyes. Compared with Toei and Toho, one has financial resources in the sky and one on the ground. Okada Shigeru actually wants to spend huge sums of money to make a special effects blockbuster. If you don't know,

I thought he was suffering from brain damage.
