Chapter 776: New Hero, Goba?
Lao Yang does have a way.
And his sources are even more exaggerated than ordinary people think. Because, this was leaked to him by Meng Lang.
Meng Lang knew Yang Mingjin.
I've known each other for a long time, and the two have eaten together and exchanged contact information. Communicate often on WeChat, chat about industry news and trends, and the relationship is okay.
Over the years, Lao Yang, as a "PD queen licking dog" and "black pig in the film critics", has really done a lot for PD. In return, Meng Lang also gave him an exclusive insider.
Metal Heroes Remake!
This remake is not the "reboot" of PD Neon. The reboot is to continue the old route and continue to make a sequel in the future.
Remake is to break the old shackles and re-establish a set of settings and worldviews. It's kind of recreating a series within the original framework.
About three years ago......
Shirakura has just finished filming "Metal Hero Gaban" and is about to take over Ishimori's position, and the Metal Hero series is facing the problem of "where to go".
At that time, Meng Lang said.
Split the "Metal Hero" into shells and linings, and the shells belong to him, recreating a series. Lizi returned to Baicang, and he had time to shoot the sequel and extension of Jiaban.
A series of events followed.
After Shirakura took over as "Kamen Rider Chief Producer", there was no time to tinker with metal heroes. Meng Lang was also busy with Tiga, and he didn't have time to deal with metal heroes, and the series gradually declined.
Then TBS appeared.
Because "Kamen Rider" is too strong, coupled with the abortion of its own investment in special effects dramas, TBS wants to restart Metal Hero, and PD Neon takes over the job.
In the end, it became the way it is now!
In the "Metal Hero" series, PD Neon shares the production rights with PD headquarters, and PD Neon moves along the "Gaban" route. The PD headquarters is responsible for opening up new areas and expanding more fans.
Thereupon......
"Mobile Interpol Jibang" was born!
As the first work of Heisei Metal Hero, the setting of Jibang also laid the groundwork for the "Metal Hero" series to gradually move towards younger age and mechanization.
This is the first time that a "robot" setting has been used!
Robots, in other words, robots. If you change the model and add a little new element, won't it become "Iron Armor Xiaobao"?
Someone may ask......
In this case, why don't you just shoot the iron armor Xiaobao? Skip the intermediate steps, how convenient it is!
This student, didn't your teacher tell you that there must be "steps to solve the problem" when answering the question?
The steps are too big to pull the eggs!
I haven't learned to walk yet, but I want to win the 100-meter sprint championship, isn't it sick? In order to give the audience a period of adaptation, this work of Jibang is indispensable.
However, there is no need to copy the original.
The original version of Jibang is really a bit crotch-pulling. This is not Meng Lang's deliberate belittling, but telling the truth. Toei implanted too much "Kamen Rider" in this work.
Take the setting, for example.
The main character is a "cyborg", but not a natural cyborg. He used to be a human, and after being seriously injured, he underwent a transformation operation, which became "JIBAN", or Metal Hero Gouba for short!
Isn't this process familiar?
Nima Xiuka's routine of transforming people, how many years has Kamen Rider been playing, and Heisei Metal Hero still plays this set, isn't that looking for death?
Isn't it okay to be born a robot?
Meng Lang has thought about it, in his place, the metal hero Gouba is born a robot. Set in the extremely distant future, artificial intelligence is in full swing.
The protagonist is a "criminal police robot" who maintains "law and order" and fights crime. Equipped with the "JIBAN" system just developed by the Galactic Federation, it has become the evil nemesis of criminals and the metal hero Goba!
It's very emotional to think about!
Don't ask why it's "Galactic Federation" again, isn't this a repetition of the background of the previous games?
The problem is, there's no good name.
Galactic Justice Committee, Galactic Ultra Branch, Galactic Empire, Galaxy Guardians Earth Branch?
As a "name waste", Meng Lang thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't think of a suitable name, so he had to borrow the "Galactic Federation".
It's nothing anyway.
Just because the name is the same, it doesn't mean that the world view is the same. Gouba's story takes place in the future, and as long as you are not blind, it will not have anything to do with the previous work.
With the name, so is the worldview!
The question after that is!
What special abilities does this hook hero have, and how can he fight criminals and punish evil?
"How's the long-range firearm?"
Wang Kui chewed gum and said, "Since the story is set in the future, the various thermal energy weapons must be very mature. What laser, electromagnetic, quantum weapons, all arranged. ”
"How much does it cost to burn?"
Meng Lang waved his hand and said: "The equipment is too advanced, the post-production special effects waste time, and it is not easy to do." It is best to use melee equipment to save time and effort. ”
"Lightsaber?"
"This can be ......"
If it was a Star Wars-like lightsaber, Meng Lang felt that it was acceptable. The special effects are simple, and the fights are cool.
But that's not enough!
Meng Lang has watched the "Robocop" series, and he also knows the original metal hero Goba, and the setting refers to this series. So, he also decided to refer to it.
The first is the "invulnerable" body!
The protagonist is a robot, and his body is definitely hard. The general attack is like "gua sha" to him.
The second is "electronic capabilities".
The so-called electronic ability refers to the fact that the protagonist can use artificial intelligence to obtain permission to hack into various electronic or mechanical devices, a bit like a "hacker".
Finally, "Infinite Power"!
In Robocop, the protagonist can twist the barrel of a gun and send people flying with one punch. This performance is very much in line with Meng Lang's feeling about the "Hook Hero".
A kick through the car, a slap on the flyer. Not afraid of fire or water, invulnerable to knives and guns holding lightsabers, the meeting is: "According to the laws of the Galactic Federation, you have been arrested!"
Handsome, handsome!
Police robots in the future world should have this ability. Moreover, the body also supports retrofitting and upgrading, adding some "functional" components.
For example, replace your hands and attach a drill, so that the protagonist can easily burrow into the ground and find out the enemy.
"What about ultimate, what about nirvana?"
"You can't have no ultimate, and you can't have a special move, right?"
"There must be an ultimate!"
Meng Lang pondered: "But I haven't figured it out yet, how to design a big move for him, do you have any good suggestions?"
"How's the lightsaber charge slash?"
Wang Kui gestured his hands and said: "Do a good job of charging in advance, the current surges all over the body, and the lightsaber changes a color, such as red!"
"Aim at the enemy and slash with all your might!"
"Kind of familiar......
If you think about it carefully, isn't this the ultimate move of Kaban! Except for the change of shape and lighting effects, nothing seems to have changed.
This will not work!
It's 2022, how can we still use the previous design?
"I pulled out a card and implanted it in my chest. An electronic female voice said: "Authorization is through the JIBAN system, and after completing the charge, the lightser will be slashed!"
Wang Kui: "......"
Does it make any difference?
It is nothing more than the step of adding a "use authorization card" before charging. Essentially, it's the same old thing!
But don't say it.
Although this set of processes, only a "use card authorization" is added. But this sense of ritual went up all of a sudden, and suddenly it was high-end and atmospheric!
