"Alien Girl 2" is on fire!

Thanks to the huge fan base, excellent quality of works, and viral marketing promotion, within two days of the broadcast, "Alienation 2" has become a phenomenal Internet hot word.

Especially neon......

As the origin of the "Alienated Girl", there are more alienated fans here, and they are even crazier.

The actor Ho Hirano, who plays the "new version of Sakura", went from an "obscure" rookie stage actor to a "household name" popular superstar in just one night.

The speed of the explosion is amazing!

A few days ago, apart from the seniors and relatives and friends of the same troupe, who knew "Hirano Ho"?

However, just a few days later, Hirano's daimyo was known to everyone throughout Neon. Its fiery degree is no less than that of a popular first-line female movie star.

One thing has to be said!

Ishimori is a typical "technical stream" director, who is not good at telling stories and creating characters. This is evident in his early knightly works.

In order to cover up this flaw, when casting, he usually chooses some actors who "look strange" but "inexplicably" fit the role.

Ho Hirano is just such an actor!

Her appearance is not outstanding in the neon film and television industry of "otaku men and goddesses everywhere". But her facial features are very positive, not only the purity and cuteness that neon people love, but also gives people a sense of translucent atmosphere.

All in all, it's very attractive!

At first glance, I thought "it's just like that", but after looking at it for a long time, you will find that this woman is damn charming, and the more you look at it, the more you like it.

Meng Lang likes her very much!

Don't get me wrong...... It's not the kind of "you think", but a kind of director's love and appreciation for his favorite actors.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but when Hirano Sui laughs, he always thinks of his "ex-wife" Yui Aragaki.

For this reason.

Meng Lang, who rarely invites "foreign" actors, personally sent an email to Hirano Sui, asking her if she had any intention of coming to China for development.

Meng Lang offered his own treatment.

After signing with PD Company, PD will not restrict her from taking on the show, and will give her the opportunity to be a "big production heroine" once a year.

This "big production heroine", Meng Lang has already hinted at it, may be "Ultraman" or other super popular IP!

Unfortunately, it was still rejected.

Hirano's answer is simple, she has lived in neon for twenty years and is reluctant to leave her familiar surroundings to develop in a foreign country.

But she also said it.

Although she will not go to Huaxia to develop, she will also star in a series of works from PD's invitation.

"So be it!"

People are reluctant to come to China for development, and it is impossible for Meng Lang to make a move of "tying people".

At least, after the other party became famous for the special effects drama, he was not in a hurry to "put aside" the special effects drama, and was willing to continue to play the special effects heroine, which is also good news.

To know!

After many actors became famous with the help of "special effects dramas", in order to improve their "coffee position", most of them left the special effects circle, and very few were willing to stay.

PD film and television are okay!

Potential actors, including the male and female protagonists of various works, have basically signed long-term contracts. But there are still a small number of people who choose to terminate the contract after becoming famous and do not accept Meng Zai's retention.

There's no way around it!

People are determined to leave, and they do not hesitate to pay huge liquidated damages for this, what else can Meng Zai do? You can't kneel down and beg him, right?

Fortunately, this is only a minority.

Under the long-term contract, most people have extinguished the idea of "changing jobs".

Besides, it's good to stay in PD, even if there are no new works, you can eat and drink for the rest of your life just by relying on "portrait rights".

Take Ultraman as an example!

The first generation of Meng Lang will not talk about it, mainly Saiwen Wang Fei, Jack Yao Bin, Ace Yang Zhe, Tai Luo Tao Zhao, Leo Wang Dali and Eddie Ye Ziyan six people.

Over the years, the six-member group has produced almost no work. Occasionally, he appeared once or twice, and he also played a cameo role, which is not worth mentioning.

As a matter of common sense......

Even if it is a popular actor, if there is no new work for so long, it will gradually be forgotten, and finally become depressed and shabby.

But these six are different!

As Ultraman human beings, even if there are no new works for four or five years, their income has not decreased, but has increased year by year.

Why?

The answer lies in "image rights"!

They are Ultraman human beings, and they can eat and drink without worrying just by selling their faces. Every year, PD Toys will give their accounts tens of millions of profit shares.

Who doesn't envy this kind of treatment?

In addition to the Ultraman human body having this treatment, the male protagonist of Kamen Rider, the male second co-rider, and the male and female protagonists of the Super Sentai series also have similar points.

Stay in PD, even if there is no new work, you can eat the old book for a lifetime. This meal ticket is valid for life!

Can be changed once you change jobs......

I'm sorry, but don't even think about this kind of benefit. No matter how much money you make, PD toys will not be distributed to you.

Therefore, PD actors are extremely loyal, unless they are brain-soaked or bewitched by others and want to do a big job, generally no one will jump ship.

Meng Lang's share ratio for the "Ultraman Human Body" is 5%!

This 5% includes the full copyright income of broadcast rights, toys, animation and peripheral derivatives.

That's not a small amount!

According to Meng Lang's knowledge, Wang Fei and Yao Bin, the "Showa veteran", with the popularity accumulated over the years, the profit in hand a year is about 30 million to 50 million.

Wang Kun, who plays the role of Flying Bird, because of the hit of Dina last year, will get a "pre-tax" share of up to 130 million yuan in 2023.

Of course, the highest must be Gu Miao!

Tiga's popularity is simply too high, even last year's hit Dinah failed to beat Tiga in peripheral derivatives. Gu Miao got about 150 million last year, ranking first in the Olympics!

Meng Lang told all these data to the two male protagonists of "Ultraman Gaia".

Don't talk about it!

After learning the income of the seniors for a year, Chen Wei and Gao Cheng, the two young people, were immediately excited.

They didn't dare to expect Gaia to surpass Diga and share so much money from Gu Miao. Reaching the level of M78 Ao, they can get forty or fifty million a year, which is enough for them to enjoy.

"Mr. Meng, don't worry!"

"Gaia is my life, I will definitely do my best to play this drama well!"

"Me too!"

Gao Cheng patted his chest and promised: "In the future, I will be Aguru, and Aguru will be me!"

Money is moving!

The reason why Meng Lang told them this was mainly to let them understand that since they starred in the Ultraman human body, it was a relationship of "both glory and glory".

Don't hold anyone back!

If Gaia shoots well, the popularity of the toys is high, and the income is high, and the income will be higher!

This is not only to make money for Mr. Meng and PD, but also to earn money for themselves!

If "Ultraman Gaia" is regarded as a joint-stock company, what Meng Lang did was probably to formulate an "equity incentive plan" to make employees work overtime willingly.

After all, when the company is listed, the equity incentive in hand is valuable!

Of course, Meng Zai is not so kind.

The 5% full copyright share received by the human body refers to the "profit share". That is, the money can only be issued to them after deducting the cost.

What is the cost?

Meng Tsai has its own factory and its own sales channels. He said that this doll costs 100 yuan and the profit is only 1 yuan, what can you do?

In the final analysis, the capitalists will always have more routines than the workers.

For example, Gu Miao, is it normal to get 150 million yuan a year from the surroundings of Dijia? It's not that Meng Zai looks at the face of "double rows and points" and "undercounts" the cost for him.

Others don't have that treatment.

This "routine", Meng Lang has never mentioned it to anyone other than Tao Mi. Although Wang Fei, Yao Bin and others also guessed, the share they got must be less.

But will they say?

No!

Everyone with a normal brain knows that he will take tens of millions for nothing a year, and he is already Mr. Meng who takes care of his own people.

If you are greedy and want to take more money, there is only one result......

Pack up and fuck off!

Stimulated by the huge share, Chen Wei and Gao Cheng worked very hard during filming, and their dedication was enough to embarrass countless actors.

The starring actor is willing to work hard, and the progress is naturally fast!

If you continue to shoot at this pace, at most, "Ultraman Gaia" will be completed in May.

But......

Before that, Meng Lang had to go to Neon to arrange the broadcast of "Armored Warrior Nava", as well as the spin-off peripheral development plan of "Kamen Rider 555".

The Gaia crew, stared at by Ma Teng.

Taking the flight on the afternoon of April Fool's Day, Meng Lang arrived in Neon Kyoto. After a night's rest at the hotel, drive to ANB TV.

President Ono accompanied him all the way.

In the car, President Ono mentioned the recent hot topic of "555" on the Internet.

It's interesting.

After the broadcast of "Kamen Rider 555", due to the tragic experience of the first two episodes of "Yuji Kiba", many people were debating whether he was a good guy or a bad guy, and whether Qianqiao would kill him......

At the end of the discussion, even Min Ghost was blown up.

He replied on the forum: "When Yuji transforms into Faiz, you will know the answer!"

Yuji transforms into Faiz?!

Min Ghost's words instantly caused an uproar on the Internet.

In the first two episodes, everyone can clearly see that Yuji has become Orfino, that is, the villain and weirdo in the play.

Weirdos turned knights?

The content that Toshiki inadvertently revealed made those Kamen Rider fans angry, and scolding such as "disrespectful tradition" and "knight sinner" followed.

There are even fans who claim that if Toshiki is telling the truth, then he will never watch Kamen Rider again!

Confusing the concept of good and evil, and creating a villain who is "both good and evil", everyone can still accept it.

But you made the villain weirdo turn into Kamen Rider?

All right!

This incident completely originated from the broken mouth of the Min Ghost. If he was honest, he wouldn't have caused so much scolding.

Of course, it's all trifles.

There is indeed this story in "Kamen Rider 555", and Toshiki is not wrong. It's not just Yuji who can transform into Faiz, but the sunny boy in the eyes of the audience is smart, and he is not a "normal person".

Anyway, you'll understand when you see the back!

The biggest fault of the Min ghost is spoilers. Other than that, he did little wrong.

After laughing, Meng Lang didn't take this matter to heart, and instead asked about the progress of "Armored Warrior Nava".

The "Armored Warriors" series, starting from the first "Light and Shadow Armor", has been introduced to the neon market, and it has achieved good results at that time.

After that, though, the Armored Warriors performed extremely average in Neon.

Even the "Xingtian" and "Emperor Hero", which are highly praised in China, have failed to make a breakthrough in neon.

After all, there are cultural differences!

Neon Man, I can't understand what the armored warriors want to say. The only thing I can appreciate is the holster and the fight.

Based on this background, Meng Lang attached so much importance to Nava that he even did not hesitate to fly to Neon to negotiate in person.

Nava is a bomb!

If he remembers correctly, the original Nava produced by Alpha has achieved quite excellent results in the neon market, and has even been hailed as a model of "cultural export".

Many neon viewers have a soft spot for Nava!

As for the reason......

The holster looks good, and the fight is exciting. Although the plot is younger, the younger the content, the more it can break the "cultural difference".

Such as Xingtian, if it is too complicated, everyone knows nothing, let alone foreigners!

Nava is a symbol of the younger age of the armored warriors, and it is also a pioneer in the neon market. ANB TV, which had seen the samples, chose to buy it without hesitation.

The price is also a fair price!

Meng Tsai was satisfied with their offer and without hesitation signed the agreement to sell the exclusive rights of Neon Neon to ANB.

He values this drama very much!

So, his request is also very simple. The ANB must come up with a high standard of publicity and take Nava seriously.

"Trust me!"

"Nava's performance will definitely surprise you!"

Meng Lang, who was full of confidence, described to ANB the grand occasion when Nava was broadcast in China, and proudly declared: "This is the best TV drama in the history of the armored warriors, there is no one!"

ANB is skeptical!

Although they feel that Nava may not be so good. But Meng Tsai said so, so let's give it a try.

In case of...... What if there is a miracle?

High-level publicity and distribution means a large amount of capital investment. If Nava didn't blow as well as Meng Zai, the business was doomed to be a blood loss.

Fortunately!

Meng Zai's words are quite reliable, he said that Nava can be hot, and then it will really be hot!

From ANB's announcement of the introduction of "Nava the Armored Warrior", to the overwhelming advertising on TV, newspapers and the Internet, "Nava", a strange-sounding hero, immediately aroused the curiosity of the audience.

Actor, I don't know!

Holster, it's pretty cool!

Armor summoning, a bit of a show......

When I first saw Nava, many neon people thought it was a new "metal hero" or "Kamen Rider".

After learning that Nava is another IP series under the PD Society, they immediately became interested.

Haven't heard of the series?

Neon viewers, who had grown to like Nava, subconsciously searched for the other two installments in the "Armored Warriors" series out of curiosity.

This looks, it seems pretty good?

The broadcast of Nava on Neon actually drove the DVD sales and online playback of the previous work by a small margin, which surprised Meng Lang.
