Chapter 425: Enthusiasm Must Not Be Extinguished
The story of Emperor Xia is relatively orthodox.
There is not so much love and hatred, and the blood of the dog is reversed. The film is instilling a concept in the audience from beginning to end, good and evil are not mutually exclusive.
It's the right thing to do.
Ao Fei is smart enough to know that this film is mainly aimed at the "underage" market. Too much content will make children unhappy.
Instead of this, it is better to hold high the banner of "confrontation between good and evil", spend all the money on special effects, and play less with those bells and whistles.
Meng Lang remembered that when someone analyzed the Emperor's Hero movie, they criticized the plot for being too straightforward, boring and boring. patronized the special effects, and didn't even tell the basic story well.
They also made suggestions for improvement.
If you add elements such as "Ajie blackening", "Croton whitewashing", and "Mizhen Ziyang's CP sadomasochism", it will look much better!
Isn't that......
If you really want to shoot like this, then the movie will be ruined. Children's tastes are different from those of adults.
If the movie theater can also fast forward, they can't wait to skip the drama and only watch the plot of the emperor appearing to fight monsters.
The special effects of bells and whistles are the favorite of the children. No matter how deep your plot is, it can only be exchanged for the "fast forward" button that the children yawn and press.
It's a pity that it was born at the wrong time.
The failure of the original Emperor Xia is no longer to be talked about. Anyway, the summary is just two words, blood loss!
The production cost of the original version, Meng Lang did not know. According to the final results, it is tens of millions. Not to mention the two leading actors in the original version, both of whom were popular idols of the year, and the salary was not low.
Pengda is more generous.
Meng Lang's production budget for Yan Tao is 50 million. This money does not include the later publicity, if you count the publicity, it will break 100 million.
Will the cost be recovered?
What is your intellectual disability problem?
Meng Zai has debuted for so many years, when did he ever make a loss-making business? Even if she is an alienated girl who has been refrigerated, hasn't she also made money.
About half of the production cost has been recovered before the film has even started filming.
It's mainly an action figure model of the evolved version of Emperor Man, which sells pretty well. Especially overseas, the styling is quite popular, and sales have increased by leaps and bounds this month.
Don't ask, it's a loss to ask!
If you don't buy a movie with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, are you worthy of Meng Zai? If the box office is not strong and the PD goes bankrupt, you will be a sinner for all mankind.
TV dramas may lose!
After all, it is a brand new work, and no one can say for sure until it is tested by the market.
But it's a big movie, it's hard to lose.
Even if the box office is not strong, the peripherals can be earned. After all, there is a popularity of TV dramas, as long as the budget is controlled within a controllable range, there is no such thing as a loss.
Therefore, Meng Lang was not worried.
Compared with the Emperor Man movie, it seems that the upcoming "2019 Superhero Festival" is more worth worrying about. But before that, Ace's easter egg was announced.
At the end of June, Ace was finished.
As the villain throughout the play, the Yabo people held out very strongly until the finale.
He witnessed Ace's death.
To be precise, it was not Ace who died, but Shi Beidou. It wasn't the Apollians and the Ultra Beasts who executed him, but the humans he had been guarding.
In the previous episodes, Minami Yuko left. Provoked by the Bewitchment of the Awa people, the humans have a gap with Ace, and the TAC team is also deeply affected.
Those who blamed Ace for all their sins because their relatives were persecuted by the superbeasts marched and demonstrated with banners.
They believe that the way the TAC team fights is contrary to the spirit of humanitarianism. Even if they become super beasts, they were once members of the human race, and they shouldn't be treated like this.
The voices criticizing the TAC team and Ace are getting louder and louder, causing the Earth Defense Force headquarters to seriously consider the proposal to reduce the TAC armament.
However, by cutting the TAC team, they lost their ability to fight against the Ultra Beast. If the Ultra Beast strikes again, how will they respond?
The wise staff officer of the headquarters put forward a rather constructive idea.
Since the people need to vent their anger, and the TAC team cannot be eliminated yet. Why don't you change the object and put all the sins on Ultraman?
And that's exactly what they did.
The staff officers of the headquarters came to the TAC team and declared that if they wanted to keep the establishment, they must speak in unison with the headquarters and blame Ace for all the blame.
The team members quit.
"You let me wronged the good guys? I can't do it! If you have to, then I'd rather leave the TAC team. ”
The captain took the lead, and the team dropped their helmets and left the base in anger.
Things got worse.
The dissolution of TAC out of thin air seems to confirm the rumors. There is reason to believe that the TAC team must have been weak-minded, so it was suddenly disbanded.
Shi Beidou returned to the welfare home.
He wanted to play with the children, but found that a boy wearing an "Ultraman mask" was punched and kicked by other boys because he refused to take off his mask.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
Shi Beidou's heart was extremely painful, he protected the beaten child and asked, "Why did you beat him?"
"He's a bad guy!"
"I'm not ......"
Mom said that Ultraman had killed a lot of people, and that he was an executioner with blood on his hands. ”
"Ultraman is not an executioner!"
"He's not!"
The boy who was beaten ran out the door with his eyes wiped his eyes. Shi Beidou just wanted to get up and catch up with him, but found the Awa people around the corner.
"What's going on, Ultraman, you're hated by everyone, what face do you have to live in the world?"
"You're again!"
"What does it have to do with me? Didn't you kill someone? quack!"
The people of Apoch laughed and said, "I just magnified the anger and resentment in their hearts, this is their original emotion, how can you blame me?"
"You bastard......"
Shi Beidou drew his gun and shot, and took away the Yabo people with one shot. Unexpectedly, after it fell, it turned into a young man in a suit and leather shoes.
"Team TAC kills!"
The onlookers screamed and ran away. Soon, the defense forces arrested Shi Beidou for "intentional homicide".
On this cusp, Shi Beidou, as a member of the TAC team, actually killed people on the street. The angry people wanted to tear him apart on the spot.
"What should I do?"
At the scene of the public trial, Shi Beidou, who was confused, suddenly heard the voices from his brothers.
"Ace, cheer up! The super beast has appeared again, and the earth needs you!"
"I see!"
When the presiding judge was about to knock down the wooden hammer, Shi Beidou suddenly stood up and announced his identity.
"Yes, I'm Ace!"
Facing everyone's surprised eyes, Shi Beidou closed his left and right hands, and the ring fit and released a flash. After the most gorgeous transformation animation, Ace appeared.
Before the surprised people had time to come back to their senses, Ace had already flown to the city of Jiangchuan to face the super beast king created by the Apo people and many super beasts.
After the battle, Ace dragged his exhausted body, stood in front of the crowd, and said slowly: "Enthusiasm cannot be extinguished, we must help and take care of the weak, and we are friends all over the world." There will be misunderstandings and disagreements between friends, but these are insignificant. Don't give up on friendship, even if you have been betrayed countless times, this is my last wish. ”
"Goodbye, my friends!"
In the afterglow of the setting sun, four stars lit up in the sky. Ace looked up, silently glanced at the moon, and then flew into the sky to join his brothers.
On the moon, Nan Xizi, who was dressed in white, put her hands together and pressed them to her heart, looked at the dark and lonely starry sky and said, "Goodbye, Beidou!"
