In 2000. In the nine-lang moon in Nagano Mountain, a mysterious relic is being excavated. A corpse wearing a petrified belt was found in the coffin of the relic. But when the investigation team opened the coffin, it awakened its sworn enemy "Gurongi". The investigation team was immediately attacked by unknown creatures and all died. In order to find out the clues of the investigation team's murder, a young man suddenly broke into the ruins while Ichijo Kaoru, a criminal policeman in Nagano Prefecture, was investigating the scene. The young man who was stopped by a road called himself the adventurer Yusuke Godai.

Finally, the unknown creatures who came back to life appeared in the suburbs of Nagano and began to attack people at will, even rushing into the police station all the way. The hero at the scene sensed the image of a samurai from the ribbon relics unearthed in the ruins and now kept by the police, and pinned it to his waist under the intuition of the adventurer. Xiong Jie's body is also covered with a layer of armor. After transformation, Xiong Jie and the unknown life body that attacked the police station finally knocked it down after a hard struggle.

With the emergence of unknown life forms in the big city of Tokyo, Yusuke Godai is determined to fight to protect people around from fear and their smiles ... A new generation of Kamen Rider "Empty Me" was born!

Note: The Five Dynasties not only put on a layer of armor, but also became another creature.

Summary of works

trait

The blueprint of the model comes from the shovel, and it is named "empty me" under the requirement of "marking with Chinese characters" in the aspect of oriental projection. The initial tentative titles are "仮ラィダガーディァン" and "仮ラィダン" in the past. In addition, the proper noun "Kamen Rider" is not used in the whole play, but although this work has nothing to do with the old work, both lines and settings are full of respect for the old work. In the old series, the settings such as "transforming people", "evil legion with the goal of dominating the earth" and "fighter" have all disappeared. In addition, considering the rapid development of medical technology, there are more and more medical cases of organ transplantation, and the way of describing "transforming people" as alien monsters has begun to produce resistance. Dongying also believes that "I don't want to create a protagonist with psychological shadow of transforming people". In this regard, Tetsuo Kurata, who once played the role of Nanguang Taro in The Masked Knight Black, once said: "Modern knights are more relaxed, and I still had the setting of' transforming people'."

In order to emphasize the realistic feeling that fear is close at hand, and to eliminate many contradictions in general special heroic dramas and attach importance to integration, there are some settings, such as "Gurongi people have their own language and culture", "Empty self and police help each other" and "Don't shout out the names of moves". The descriptions of "the changes of people around you with the development of the plot" and "the social cognitive process of heroes and evils" are generally not used in special heroic dramas, but more commonly used in general TV dramas. While paying attention to drama, it is difficult to tell the story clearly in just one episode of 30 minutes, so this film is basically described in the way of "two episodes and one unit" in the first and second films, and the same is true in subsequent works.

Although toys such as changing belts have achieved great success in business, in terms of plot, there are also several episodes with extremely short fighting scenes due to the emphasis on plot laying, plus "the fighting that ended in less than one minute (there are also examples where it ended with only one punch)" and "the strongest form of empty toys have already been sold, but the drama did not appear until the end of the story (compared with the toys sold in 10) The actual debut of the play was in the following year 1 month, which only appeared for a minute or two), "The story entered the final disc, and even the person in charge of sponsoring the toy manufacturer didn't know about it", "There was no advertisement in the middle of the final film, and it was filming abroad (the debut of Yusuke Godai's last film was made in Cuba) and" The hero didn't appear (there was no fighting scene) ".

After this work, the short trailer before the broadcast began to change frequently. In addition, the advertiser of this work provides screen subtitle narration, and the actors in the film alternate (but the only work that follows this practice is the previous Ghost in Kamen Rider until 20 1 1).

Different from the old series, the narration in the play is only used for the preview of the next episode and the total episode. After taking over AGITΩ, the proportion of narration also tends to decrease. But it's not necessary at all. A short preview film is used before each episode, and the example of previewing the next episode is quite common.

Make an episode

1996 or so, began the revival planning of the TV version of Kamen Rider. At first, it was to occupy the daily broadcast channel of the mobile Altman series at 6 o'clock on Saturday night. Kamen Rider's Gaia also appeared in one of the titles of the planned films in this period, which can be said to be quite different from Gaia Altman, but different from Shotaro Ishinomori's manuscript that became Kamen Rider Eve, the blueprint of Gaia the masked rider. However, the goal of daily broadcast production was not achieved, and later, because the previous work "Burning" was broadcast on Asahi TV! ! The fate of ロボコン changed the radio channel to Asahi TV.

In addition, Sega's advertising series "せがたたたたたたたたたせせがたた"

The production cycle is longer than that of the previous works. In order to avoid opportunism and set defects, considerable time has been spent on the script. The whole film was shot by high-definition television (HD 1080/760i), and it was shown at the odd-numbered picture ratio of 16: 9. But at that time, only the photography part of the film was of high quality, and the post-production, completion and premiere were all carried out in SDTV mode. As a result, the progress has been delayed again and again, and both TV stations and production units have fallen into a very tense production and broadcasting situation (three episodes have been broadcast to ensure the progress). The producer of Toyo, Grade Two, who is in charge of the producer's supervision, never gave in to the suggestion of changing the system put forward by the top management, and finally realized the above production system with the help of the screenwriter Toshiki Inoue who joined urgently. Due to the emphasis on realism, the setting and description of the works have become quite vivid, but there have also been fierce expressions. Some parents who want to appeal to heroic dramas from simple children have also expressed many complaints to TV stations. Therefore, after this period of time, the report document "The rescue team transporting the victims was attacked by weirdos, causing a second disaster" and the news broadcast "The Shinkansen stopped driving because of unknown life" were used to show the horror of Gurongi weirdos. In addition, the goal of filming at that time was "Japanese version of X-files".

One of the endings, which is also the ending of the protagonist V who died in atrix with No.0, was also considered. That's right. "Although he used violence to protect others, shouldn't he be responsible for it?" Pain. Because the staff headed by Yi Temple said, "As a program that brings dreams to children born in severe times in the future, is this result too cruel?" So it was decided that the Five Dynasties embarked on a journey in front of everyone as the ending.

In an exclusive interview with the 34th issue of "ピクト?ップ" in 2005, the leading actor, Giorgio Oda, mentioned that he had a strong sense of resistance to the works of performing special heroes at that time, and was later said by the producer of Toyo (Gauss), "I hope to make new works that ignore the established impression of children's programs. We. After being chosen as the leading role, because he had never seen Kamen Rider, he also found a Kamen Rider video of Hiroshi Fujioka's performance that year, but he felt that the performance could not go on. He wanted to decline the producer and was persuaded by the other party to "shoot in a different way from Mr. Fujioka at that time".

The time flow in the play has been carefully calculated, and when the scene changes, the time and place in the play will be displayed with subtitles. Therefore, the description in the play is integrated with the passage of time, but on the other hand, in the story of public transport such as buses and trams, in order to match the realistic timetable, the time in the play must be adjusted in minutes, which is also quite difficult.

Theater version planning

The final volume of Super Complete Works released at the end of the program records Kose's agreement on the theatrical version, and the actors are also looking forward to it. However, there was little news for the next few years. It wasn't until June, 2006 1 that Gao Sicai apologized for not filming in official website.

Five generations were empty. My theatrical version doesn't. The extreme form of Kamen Rider's emptiness and sublimation first appeared in Kamen Rider's ten-year theatrical version of All Knights vs Maintenance Card, and then became an active member of many Kamen Rider in later theatrical versions.
