Who, when, and how to deal with the corpse of a giant monster that has been defeated? Areas that have not been drawn much in hero movies so far are covered in the drama "Jikou Keisatsu" series and "Turn up the volume! I don't know what you're singing at all! !! (18) and other genius Satoshi Miki starring Ryosuke Yamada, and made it into a video as a unique fantasy special effects entertainment "What To Do With The Dead" (released). In this article, I will thoroughly explain the whole picture of the large monster "Kibou-" that appears as a corpse from the beginning, including the straying and making of the characters. [See the photo] A 6-meter model of "hope" that Shinichi Wakasa, a monster modeling specialist, says, "I have never made something so big." Includes a description that touches on story development. Please be careful if you haven't seen it yet. A giant monster that destroys the city died suddenly. I wondered if the peaceful days had returned, but the huge corpse lying on the river could expand due to the rise in body temperature due to putrefaction, causing a secondary disaster of a gas explosion. However, even though the countdown to the end has begun, government officials have repeatedly barren meetings, pushing responsibilities against each other, and just going back and forth. Can such a thing handle a huge corpse? ■ A monster that is about 1.5 times taller than Tsutenkaku and about 1.3 times taller than Ushiku Buddha and Shin Godzilla "Hope" This monster is full of mysteries. In fact, the cause of his death is unknown, and he died after being enveloped in the sudden appearance of light energy. However, the causal relationship between the light and the death of the monster remains unknown. Even if it becomes a corpse, it is still a threat to humankind, and the biggest factor is the huge size. Even when it is collapsed, the total height (from the ground to the tip of the right foot that is pushed up the highest) is 155 meters, which is about 1.5 times that of Tsutenkaku and about 1.3 times that of Ushiku Buddha and Shin Godzilla. .. The total length (from the tip of the face to the tip of the tail) is 380 meters, which is about 1.5 times the diameter of the Tokyo Dome. It is equivalent to the distance from the statue of Hachiko, the faithful dog, to Shibuya Parco, and it takes about 5 minutes to move from destination to destination on foot. In addition, there is a mushroom-shaped protrusion on the back, which continues to expand due to the rise in body temperature due to putrefaction, and the danger of a gas explosion is imminent. There is no doubt that it is a troublesome and dangerous corpse, but since it is a valuable environmental resource that remains in the history of human biology, the Japanese government under construction said, "It will lead to future" hope ". I will call it "hope". ■ Characters who just argue over the processing of "hope" A giant monster is wrapped in a mysterious light and suddenly dies-in a normal hero movie, this is a happy and happy place But if that situation happens in the real world, everyone knows that it doesn't end there. In the face of the difficult task of how to deal with giant monsters, Prime Minister (Toshiyuki Nishida), Secretary of State (Hexagonal Seiji), Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (Toshihiro Yashiba), Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare (MEGUMI), Land The center of Japan, including the Minister of Transport (Kenzo Kasa), the Minister of the Environment (Fuseeri), the Minister of Finance (Takashi Sasano), the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Kusaku Shimada), and the Minister of Defense (Ryo Iwamatsu) are gathered. We will hold constructive discussions and lead the people with high leadership! … Without having to repeat barren quarrels over and over again, they just push their responsibilities together and struggle to earn their credit. In the meantime, the gas generated from the corpse gives off a fierce stink like a ginkgo, and the area 20 kilometers northwest of the corpse is covered with putrid odor. What's more, it was discovered that when humans are exposed to this gas, tremendous changes occur in their bodies. Still, government officials still argued that it didn't matter if the gas smelled of excrement or vomiting (finally decided to smell ginkgo), scrambled for national budget, and squeezed. It's just dawning. People in the field can be relied on at such times. So, a very reliable colonel of the Defense Force (Rinko Kikuchi) will also appear, but the corpse freezing operation that was carried out with full satisfaction will end in failure. And the final top secret mission of corpse processing that put the fate of the people is the former lover of Yukino Amane (Tao Tsuchiya), the secretary of the Environment Minister, and the organization under the direct control of the Prime Minister who has a past that suddenly disappeared several years ago. It will be in the hands of Arata (Yamada), a member of the special task force. ■ A monster modeling specialist who also worked on "Godzilla" participated! Contrary to the ridiculous content, in order to give reality to the magnificent corpse processing mission, this work has been invested a huge amount of money that is comparable to other monster movies, and Miki's commitment is thorough. What I would like to pay attention to is the scale and modeling of the large monster "Hope". "Hope" is set as a giant monster with the largest overall length in the history of Japanese movies that surpasses that Godzilla, and also plays a role of drawing the audience into this unprecedented world view at once. Although it is a corpse, the visuals were paid close attention to because it was an important cast that pulled the drama of this work. "Hope" was created by receiving an order from Director Miki, such as "Don't look like other monsters. There is a mushroom-shaped protrusion on the back." I'm Shinichi Wakasa, a modeling specialist. "Actually (= I made it for shooting)'hope'is 6 meters, but I have never made such a big one. Until now, it was mainly a costume monster that people can enter, so it is expensive At most, it was about 2 meters and 50 centimeters, "Wakasa recalls at the time of shooting. "In addition, we are in an era where we design monsters on computers and make them mostly digitally. So, of course, we do post-processing digitally, but the modeling we made by moving our hands is I was very impressed with the work that was put to good use. " It was Director Miki who proposed a state in which the dead "hope" legs were standing high in the sky. "I remember when I saw the Buddha of Ushiku, which is about 100 meters high in Ibaraki prefecture, from the highway. It would be ridiculous and interesting if the legs of the dead monster were raised to that height. What are you going to do with that !? (laughs) ". In addition, Wakasa commented on the characteristic "hope" state of just lying down as follows. "This time we only had a scene where a corpse monster was lying in the river, so we didn't make a standing figure from the beginning. Thinking about what we should do to make it look the best in the corpse state. , I made a model of lying down and made it while feeding back the director's request. " Apart from such a model, Yamada, who plays the role of Arata hung on a wire, challenged the scene of climbing the epidermis of a monster with an inclination of 45 degrees, which also enhances the reality and tension of this work. Wearing a gas mask, goggles, and a helmet, Yamada is also equipped with a fairly heavy "drilling bomb" that exceeds his height, and boldly challenges dangerous jump scenes. Under the direction of Miki, who never compromises, it seems to be honestly painful when he repeated it about 10 times, but it goes without saying that the excitement of the movie is amplified. Now, if you read this far, you should have enough prior knowledge of monster corpse processing. After that, I want you to leave yourself to the turmoil that goes diagonally above your imagination that occurs on the screen of the movie theater.Sentence / Isogai Masato
