The giant of light in the marvel world

Not long after Richard returned to Earth, the third part of their Ultraman series - "Ultraman 3: To the Man Who Glorified" - was finally going to be officially released.

Richard was very attentive to the production of this film. He originally planned to supervise it from beginning to end, but he didn't expect that so many things happened during the period. Both terrorists and gods were involved. Once he got busy, he had to do it first. Leave it alone.

As a result, the film had already been produced, and after the director's editing was completed, he was directly allowed to see the finished product. Richard read it again and felt that the visual effect was unexpectedly good, and even seemed to exceed his expectations.

The length of the film was expanded from the length of the original TV series finale trilogy to three hours. The director said that the entire film was actually three and a half hours long after preliminary editing was completed, and he was reluctant to delete every scene in it. However, considering that a three-and-a-half-hour theatrical release would be inconvenient and might cause audience fatigue, the film was finally cut to three hours.

But even so, this is a very long movie that exceeds the average length of Hollywood.

Richard thought about it and said it would be better than this. We used the three-hour version to make a theatrical release, and then after the release, we used the three-and-a-half-hour version to make the director's cut and sell it on Blu-ray disc.

Yes, it’s the legendary unscrupulous company’s specialty of “selling discs” that someone shamelessly copied...

The film process has not changed much from the original work itself. With the second part of the series "Devil's Trial" as a foundation for the world view, the structure has been completed long ago, and the protagonists of the previous work can be directly used.

Yes, that’s right, it’s still Captain America who took the time to star in Ultraman as the protagonist. Anyway, apart from the heroic affairs of the Avengers, he is just a retired veteran. He is too idle every day and has nothing serious to do...

The plot flow of the movie is basically unchanged from that of the original work, except for the addition of shots and dialogue and the length of several fights based on the original plot. The general story is still that the super-ancient monster Zoga appeared. After humans and Ultraman tried their best to defeat Zoga, they found that an almost endless number of Zoga began to appear all over the world. The ruler of darkness, Gatanje, awakens, and Ultraman appears to resist but is defeated and turned into a stone statue by the erosion of darkness. But in this most desperate moment, mankind still did not give up hope. The light in the hearts of people all over the world who believed in hope finally converged into the stone statues and awakened Ultraman, dispelling the darkness and bringing light.

The plot flow is not complicated. Although I know that most of the audience went into the theater with the mentality of watching Ultraman show special effects and defeating little monsters, according to Richard's request, the narrative and emotional control of this film are as important as the martial arts drama.

The reason why Ultraman Tiga is a classic is not just because Ultraman defeated the little monsters, but what makes this work special lies in its humanistic care. A good work always has to tell people something and must have some special connotation. Films that just show off special effects and fights may win the box office, but they will never become classics.

And the audience really bought into it. As passers-by who went to see the excitement with the mentality of watching "Ultraman defeats the little monsters", the audience quickly became involved in the main theme of the film. After the ban on the comment section on major film review websites was lifted, the movie received rave reviews and the ratings were all positive. Two days before the film was released, its score reached a high of 9.6. Of course, this score will definitely drop as time goes by, but this is already a very rare high score.

"When I saw Ultraman for the first time, I thought I had met God and thought he could lead mankind to the right path, but that didn't seem to be the case. Later I learned that Ultraman is both light and human. .”

Naturally, Richard copied the classic lines from the original TV series Captain In-between, which impressed him deeply at first. When I was a kid, I cried so much when I watched the finale of Tiga that I wished I could turn into light and rush into the screen to help Ultraman defeat the little monsters. Later, as I grew up and gained more experience, everything I watched was not as pure as it was when I was a kid. was moved.

Although the world view has changed, the classic has still become a classic. This handsome line quickly spread among movie fans using the Internet as a medium, and it also attracted people's attention to the origin of Ultraman.

Everyone knows that the definition and origin of Ultraman appearing in movies come from the director and producer's own imagination, so who is the Ultraman they know in reality?

Is it possible that he, like the hero in the movie, is both light and human?

The audience has their own angle of concern, and naturally there will be others who have unique concerns.

For example, braised eggs. On the first day the movie was released, he immediately called Richard and asked in a very serious tone: "What's wrong with the Lord of Darkness you filmed? Is it real?"

Richard was delighted. Mr. Director seems to be a loyal fan of their movies. As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., who is busy with everything, he actually took the time to watch their movie on the first day of its release. Okay, okay...

The worry about braised eggs is not unreasonable. Others think that the Ultraman movie is simply the imagination of the producer and has nothing to do with reality, but Luo Dan knows the truth! He knew that the person in charge of the production was actually Ultraman himself, so was it possible that the monsters, space beings, gods and horses he produced actually existed?

Richard thought for a while and chose to "tell the truth": "What Gatanjie said exists actually exists, but it's just not in our world. It is the dark demon god who was defeated by the predecessor before me. That was a long time ago. It’s happened…”

Luodan remembered that he had mentioned Ultraman's power of inheritance, so it was not surprising that Richard had a predecessor before him. He continued to ask: "Is it possible that the situation in your movie will happen here? Darkness covers the earth, super ancient monsters appear all over the world, and the ruler of darkness awakens?"

Richard opened his mouth to say no, but then thought about it and swallowed it back. He thought of the big events that Marvel's Earth was going to face in two days. There would be a global blockade, darkness would cover the world, the world would be crawling with alien soldiers, and then some kind of god-level BOSS would come to New York...

...It feels like it’s similar to the finale of Ultraman?

So he changed his words: "I can't say for sure, maybe one day."

Maybe one day there will be a crisis of annihilation, and it never hurts for SHIELD to be prepared in advance.

Luo Dan hung up the phone without saying anything else.

He has decided that he will quickly write a plan when he comes back. It is called "Ghatanjie Plan" and is specially used to deal with the apocalyptic crisis in the movie.

Of course, the amount of work required to prepare for this kind of work is definitely not small, and a lot of preparations are required.

So first, he has to ask the council for money...
