[This week’s Toei Superhero Chronicle].
The second time Kamen Rider’s three will star.
Tells about the progress of Toei Superhero, and finally enters the Kamen Rider today, starting with a point in the picture that is not easy to attract attention. On the left side of the picture below is the Shisen Zhang Taro comic “Kamen Rider”, which is called “The Original” by the later generation. In the first sentence of “The Strange Spider Man” which was serialized in 1971, the Kamen Rider’s locomotive whirlwind first appeared. The picture on the right is the cut-out illustration painted by Shisen Zhang Taro in the first version of the TV version of Kamen Rider, and the two fronts of the locomotive on the locomotive. .
Then look at the picture below, the left side is the first shot of the TV version of “Kamen Rider” 1st word OP, the right side is the first words “Freakish Spider Man” feature film, the locomotive whirlwind front part close-up Lens. It can be easily found now that the front end of the hood of the locomotive whirlwind has a horizontal gap above the wheel below the headlights. In the painting above, the lower part of the slit is open to the gap, while the image below is closed. .
Why is this? The first reaction under the normal idea is indeed easy. It may not be faithful to the original work when the TV is processed, but it is not a rare phenomenon. However, looking back, the second version of the TV version has no scenes of the whirlwind. When the third language is produced, the locomotive that the Kamen Rider rides becomes like the picture below. There is no longer a difference between opening or closing, because the gap is gone. .
The locomotive used by the Kamen Rider, of course, it is not easy to find a ready-made locomotive as a prop for photography. Just like the robot animation that was established later, there must be a “protagonist dedicated machine”. Therefore, the locomotive has to be designed and shaped, and the shape is designed to produce a special car cover. The whirlwind’s stylist is Sasaki Mumo, who was the creator of Altman at the beginning of the year, including Zoefi, who was modified by Altman’s doll suit in Altman, and the fake Otto of Zarab. Man. .
The original Ottoman masks are divided into A, B, and C. The popularity of this event is not small. The original whirlwind mask…the car cover can also be divided into A type, B type, C type, and the material used for the shape is the same as the mask of the original Altman. Originally type A, it is the version with a gap closed in the second picture above. There are only 3 items in this version of the photo, the first word, the first OP, and the original transform scene. .
But one thing happened during the photography of the OP. Once on the uneven outskirts, the lower part of the car cover was directly in contact with the wheel. As a result, I had to take it for repair, and it became a B-type, opening the lower end of the gap. So in the original OP, look carefully that only the first lens has a car cover, and the rear ride becomes a semi-finished product. Not only does it have no car cover, the kale knight in the picture below does not even have a belt, because if there is photography at that time it will be very difficult, it is a last resort to supervise. .
This is one of the scenes of the “Kamen Rider” when it was just beginning, when it touched the stone and crossed the river, it hit the stone, and it was exposed to the audience for nearly half a century. After sending the modified car cover to open the hole under the gap, it is still impossible to completely avoid the phenomenon of friction to the wheel. In the end, I had to completely refit it. The gap at the front end of the car cover completely disappeared, that is, the C type that started with the third word. As for the B type with the opening below, no lens was used in the actual image, and it appeared only in the stills for publicity. .
The left side of the above picture is a still photo of the locomotive. The B-type whirlwind with a gap in the lower part of the gap was cut and photographed in mid-February 1971. This still is very famous and used very frequently. Because it was converted from type A to type B, and has not been modified into the final type C, this time point is midway, there is just a media day. So with this slap shot, it produced a stills for advertising, and at that time, the total number of early stills was not much, so the stills were widely distributed. .
A lot of drawings for the products that are later sold, the reference standard is this still, the original manuscript of Shisen’s paintings and the illustrations used for the cuts, and this still is also sent to the hand. Therefore, as in the original picture, he also refers to the B-type whirlwind number, which is a type of waste that has not been used in the actual image, and the type B that occurs due to accidental events in photography. What this represents, this “original version” of the comics was born after the completion of the first version of the TV version of the film, completely contrary to the meaning of the “original” that people today generally understand.
Shisen’s “original work” was the realm of the front line at the time, unlike the contemporary default “he created comics, and then the production company took pictures and put them on television”. This “original” is not so much a title, it is actually a position. .
Regarding this matter, although the Japanese side has been studying for decades, I only made this explanation for the first time in China until 8 years ago. I am confident that I can say this sentence. For the name of the staff related to the Kamen Rider before 1998, basically no one other than Shisuke Mori Taro, can not be said, it was such an era. And now, for example, in the serials of last week, editors have at least been able to express such words:
.
“The names of these two people should all be as good as they are. Yes, it is Pingshan Heng and Abe Seiji.”
Now even if it is limited to Anitama, this article is not the first to try to explain this. So just from another angle, I used the image method to give an example of a picture, not an attempt to directly abstract it. After recognizing this point, as to what exactly the actual state at that time, and what happened in the complete process, this is one of the contents of the future serialization of systematically telling history. Speaking of this, it is already a book published in the last century to appreciate the “Kamen Rider”. The first comment on “The Strange Spider Man” has been impressive so far, the following sentence. .
.
“This episode is a direct visualization of the original comics painted by Ishiguro Taro, reproduce the comics in which the line of sight crosses the camera between the two feet of the knight, the locomotive stalking scene at the beginning, and the reversal of the world. Photography technique…”.
However, history is just the other way around. The “original manga” was serialized in the magazine on April 12, 1971, and the first day of the TV version was released on April 3, 1971. The start date of the first sentence was on February 7, 1971, and the first day of the script was fixed on January 13, 1971. The first draft of the script of “Strange Spider Man” has already existed in October 1970, six months before the start of the broadcast. .
The few pictures just mentioned are now restored. After February 7th of the official production start date, the timeline is described in order. The second words after the first words were started on February 16th. The second word of the supervisor was called Yoshida, and he was also responsible for the transformation of the scene and the use of cards and OP video performances. As a result, during the shooting of the OP, the hood and the wheel of the locomotive whirlwind were worn out, so that the A-type was changed to the B-type, and there was no whirlwind lens in the second sentence of the photographic period. .
After reshaping the lower part of the front of the car cover, I just happened to run into the publicity photography meeting, so I took a picture. However, the utility of this type B whirlwind is still insufficient, so it has to be modified into a C-type that is completely resected and rebuilt, and becomes an official version later. However, at this point in time, Shisen began to make original manuscripts, referring to the stills and the first words. This is why the whirlwind in the original comic book is the version that appears in the occasion of the shooting scene, and the reason why the similarity between the picture and the image is so high. It is precisely the images that are comicized, rather than the cartoons that normal thinking will understand. .
It is clearly the “original”. Why do you still have to refer to images and stills for painting? In fact, the Cyclone number of the locomotive is not designed by Shisen. The designer is the art supervisor of “Kamen Rider”, who is on the right side of the picture. The special art supervision of the Dongbao Round Valley group (Taimei Supervisor) Watanabe is the person who designed the Gogira, and the first special photography in the history of the special art supervision. In the student era, he worked in the Dongbao Round Valley group to participate in art classes. In the 1950s, he followed the production of the Dongbao special film masterpiece “Gorgila”, “The Big Monster Raton” and “Earth Defense Army”. .
Officially became a social person, and joined the company in the next three days. At that time, it was another giant company in the Japanese film and television industry alongside Dongbao and Dongying. In the early 1960s, the field was responsible for a number of scenes, and the field was the main stunt supervision of the later half of the works of the Ottoman Studios, “Otto Q” and “The Beast Busca”, “Ottoman” And the special stunt supervision of “Fantastic Battle” and the special stunt supervision of the first phase of the “Otto”. In the late 1960s, the three-time special filming film of Dai Ying, the production site of the 嘎美拉 series, the big devil three works, and the monster three works, all participated in the art class.
“Kamen Rider” is the first time that Sanshang served as an art supervisor. At this time, it was no longer an employee of Da Ying. The design of the Kamen Rider’s locomotive is only a small part of the scope of the art supervision mission. In the work of light design, in addition to the shape and furnishings of the locomotive, such as the Tachibana Guardian, the details of the details of the store, and the repairs of the cards that are debuted, there is of course work outside the design. .
Things like art supervision like this are just a small example. The original author of the Kamen Rider is who, if you really understand the current general understanding, there really is no original author. Because there was no original work for filming, this project was a TV series from the beginning, and it was the crystallization of many members of the complete crew. Just as the super team and the beautiful girl of light have a nominally written original author, it is equivalent to no. Everyone knows that Altman does not have the concept of the original author. These are also in line with the reality of the front knight who made the front line. .
Among the members of the front line, three of them played the role of the helm of the overall situation. These three people can be called the three-star star of the Kamen Rider. The first person was Pingshan Heng, who served as a strategy. The second person is called Abe Seiji, who is responsible for operational logistics. The third person is called Uchida, and he is responsible for the on-site practice. If you use it for an analogy, Pingshan is like Zhang Liang, Abe is like Xiao He, and Uchida is like Han Xin. .
Although it is divided into different directions, it can be said that there are three main forces. For example, the main force of business, Toei’s Watanabe Shinto, MBS’s Hiroyuki Ichi, and Bandai’s Sugiura Yuki. The main force of the plan, producer Pingshan Heng, scriptwriter Yi Shangsheng, cartoonist Shisen Zhang Taro. The main force of the performance, the general supervision of the field to the field, the guidance of the supervision of Hiroshi Takemoto, the most performance of Yamada. There are also the main forces of design, Shisen Zhang Taro, Sanshang Lu Nan, Gao Qiaozhang, or the main force of the killing, Ogano Kotaro, Takahashi Ijun, Okada, and so on. .
But the three people above are raising the three-star star of the Kamen Rider as a whole. It’s easy to get too many names in one breath, and today’s point is only for the three people at the helm. The next serial story begins with the day when the Kamen Rider’s embryo begins. .

The commemorative event and the message of Mrs. Shi Zhisen.
The Kamen Rider held a three-day commemoration in July when it celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2011. Although the activity has obtained permission for copyright relations, it does not require any official participation at the time, so it is not necessary to publicize the goods at the time. So strictly defined, this still belongs to a spontaneous fan activity, but look at who is such a person. .
From the starring of the township, Fujioka Hiroshi to Kurata, who played in Takumi Taro, the daily broadcast of the TV station (MBS) and the 11-faced Kamen Rider made by Toei, except for the 10th, who are already out of the 4th. The actors all participated. In addition to the actor of the Kamen Rider, the starring of other works in the lineup also participated. In addition to the actors, there were many production staff at the time. In addition to the associated characters at the time, there were many audiences, from ordinary people to fans of contemporary or famous people. .
For such a so-called spontaneous unofficial event, the promoter is Uchida, who is the chairman of the executive committee. The vice chairman is Abe Seiji, and also contacted the special adviser Hirayama Hiroshi, and invited a special guest, Watanabe, to give a speech. In the first two days of Uchida, I took a wheelchair. The last day was finally passed by Abe. Hirayama was also hospitalized for a few months. He was prepared to take a wheelchair to the scene, but was forcibly stopped by the attending doctor. In the end, he had to rely on the agent to convey the speech. In fact, his doctor was a fan of the Kamen Rider when he was a child.
After the end of the event, soon after the death of Uchida on December 7, 2011, one year later, on December 29, 2012, Abe Seiji died, and the last remaining Pingshan Heng on July 31, 2013. Followed by the death. .
Pingshan wrote this passage a few years after he retired: .
.
“The Kamen Rider is over. When Yishang Shengsang died, I thought so. When Takahashi Ijunjun died, it was also the time when Yamaguchi Hiroshi was also, when Hiroshi was supervised, Yamada. When I was supervised, it was also the time when Chao Jian’s son was born, and I was thinking about it. There was also a report from Kobayashi Shoji and Sakamoto Sang…”.
At the time, this passage was just about a week before the death of Shiroyuki Taro. .
In October 2013, the Pingshanheng memorial service was held. The wife of Shi Zhisen sent such a speech:
.
Thank you for your presence before the busy schedule. .
Once again, I am praying for the blessing of Hirayama Hiroshi, who was summoned by Heaven on July 31, and express my heartfelt regret for the members of the bereaved family. .
Hirayama has achieved great results in the history of the Japanese superhero group. I often listen to the late husband. At the same time, we have received a lot of care from others in public and private. The couple is both pure, unrequested, and flat-hearted fans of Pingshan. .
Already an old saying that everyone has said, if there is no Pingshan, the “Kamen Rider” will not be born. If there is no “Kamen Rider”, the Japanese super hero group will become completely different. This is what everyone knows. .
Hirayama and his late husband worked together in multiple groups. Although older than the late husband, the late husband was attracted by his teenage character and happily engaged in the work of the group. .
After his death, he also ran for us between various TV stations and publishing houses. The various activities related to the late husband, no matter how far away must be present, telling the memories between the late husband and the story of the works to many fans. .
His gesture has a lot of modern enthusiasm, and the open-minded smile is still unforgettable. .
The effort to work hard is better than the memories of Pingshan, who are working hard for themselves and full of feelings. I believe that from my heart and everyone’s heart, I will never disappear. .
I know that the deceased must also be thankful in the grassy corner with locusts. .
Dear, thank you today. ..
