Chapter 398: Cards are unsalable
"Ji Cao, don't be surprised!"
Regarding the audience's doubts, the initiator only replied with just four words.
The TV plot is incomplete, leaving room for the theatrical version, the side story, and the sequel expansion, which are all old traditions in the special effects circle, and it is not surprising.
Taking Ultraman as an example, Tsuburaya's basic logic is that the TV drama tells the story that happened on Earth, and the theatrical version tells the story of the Land of Light/Another World. Each complements each other and does not interfere with each other.
The same goes for the Armored Warriors!
The Shadow Emperor, this is Meng Lang's theatrical version of the boss, how could he be cut in a TV drama?
As for the missing origin of Emperor Xia, the answer is actually very simple, the summoner is wrong!
In the TV drama, Xinnan, Dongshan and others only have one of the bloodlines of the Five Elements Tribe. Although Xiang Yang has all the Five Elements bloodline and can summon the Emperor's armor, his bloodline concentration is not high.
Only Li Ziyang can do it!
The cruel and suffocating "bloodline" theory, no matter how hard you try, as long as you don't have the bloodline of the five elements, then you can't summon armor. Even if you have the Five Elements bloodline, it will be useless if the concentration is not enough.
This theory, proposed by Meng Lang, has become the most representative setting of "Armored Warriors" after the PD screenwriting team has perfected.
Judging by the results......
There was no adverse reaction from the audience.
Perhaps, this is also related to the main audience of armored warriors. After all, children don't care about this, as long as the armor is handsome and cool enough.
The first work of the armor ended smoothly.
Regarding grades, the score is divided into two parts. The first is the ratings, with an average rating of 11.58%, setting the best ratings for TV dramas since the beginning of the year.
In terms of online playback, because of the short online time, the number of views is just over 30 million, and the performance is not as good as the proof of the leader of Transformers.
The proof of leadership is terrible!
The ratings are good to say, even if they are relatively popular, they are within Meng Lang's estimated range. The number of online broadcasts can easily exceed 100 million!
It's only been a few days since it was launched?
In addition to the excellent ratings, the performance of the armored warriors in the surrounding derivatives market is also as strong as ever.
The summoner is the big deal!
The summoner of the Five Elements Armor, the best-selling one is Yan Longxia, after all, he has a lot of roles, and the armor is not bad.
This is followed by Black Rhino and Wind Hawk.
As for the snow mastiff and the ground tiger, they are at the bottom as always. Snow Mastiff may be dissatisfied with the children because of the "traitor" plot, and Tiger Man ......
The sense of presence is too low!
Not only is the summoner at the bottom of the sales volume, but the puppet model of the Five Elements Armor, the Earth Tiger Man has no sense of existence. Probably the meaning of his existence is just to gather the five elements, right?
Armored warriors also have belts!
The belt of the Five Elements Armor, named "Qiankun Belt", has basically the same shape design, and in the center of the belt is a pair of Yin and Yang Taiji diagrams.
The belt of the Emperor's armor is called the Emperor's Belt. Compared with the simplified version of the Qiankun belt, there is a five-element turntable design in the center of the imperial belt, which has a strong sense of design.
So, it sells the best.
In addition to summoners and belts, armor weapons are also a major category of toys. Sales are tied to the popularity of the armor, and the Flame Knife sells the best.
Then there's the cards!
As early as the beginning of filming, Meng Lang designed detailed card gameplay battle rules for the cards of armored warriors.
The results are regrettable......
Maybe it's because Pengda's card system is too much, and the children are tired of it. The cards of the Armored Warrior have not been recognized by the market, and the sales have been miserable.
Meng Lang was deeply shocked.
Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts were in front of him. There are so many patterns of cards launched by Pengda that consumers have no desire to buy.
I just learned how to play YOYO cards, and the bakugan card was born! I finally learned the bakugan card, and the gyro card, the otter card, and the knight card came......
Who can withstand this?
Damn Meng Heizhu, do you think PD members are the princes per capita?
There are several decks of cards that come out every year, and it takes a long time just to get used to how they play each deck, not to mention how difficult it is to collect.
At the end of the day, it's too fast!
If only one set of cards is issued a year, the situation will definitely improve a lot.
After finding the crux of the problem, Meng Lang's way of solving the problem was very simple and rude. Since you guys think there are too many ways to play and the cost of learning is too high, let's merge them into one.
Unified play!
If the gameplay remains the same, consumers will be able to easily get started with the new cards after they are launched, and there will be no original problems.
But how do you unify it?
The original PD card has a variety of ways to play. According to a rough statistics, there are at least a dozen more common ways to play.
The most classic, numerical competition!
That is, the fixed value of cards such as combat power and defense is supplemented by various "card effects", and the value is compared with the opponent's card.
In addition to this, there is also a "playing card" type of play. Except for the card patterns, it can be played as playing cards.
Among these gameplay, Meng Lang prefers the classic "numerical comparison" gameplay. Only this kind of gameplay can reflect the value of IP to the greatest extent.
That's the cornerstone!
Based on this, join the major IP systems to create the core selling point of the PD card: Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong!
"Interesting ......"
Meng Lang touched his chin and thought.
If PD really unifies the gameplay of its cards, not to mention the fun of "Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong", the biggest problem in front of him is, how to stabilize the combat power of each IP character?
Ultraman Ace only has 500 combat power, so why is Kamen Rider X's combat power as high as 1,000 points?
It's not fair!
The kids like it the most, and if the values given by the PD don't match his psychological expectations, then don't sell the card.
There are thousands of people in the world, and they have different ideas.
Meng Lang cannot guarantee that the values he has assessed will be recognized by consumers. Such a risky thing, he thought about it and decided to give up.
The stakes are too great!
Merge card gameplay, which is currently only a draft, can be left to the next generation to implement.
The most suitable solution for the moment is to "reduce production". Five or six cards a year is too many, and a maximum of two will be released.
After the production reduction, the remaining capacity of the plant cannot be wasted. After all, if the machine is idle, it will rust!
You can print something else!
Products such as the Konokuni ID card and the repair card membership card are very popular. In order not to leave the factory's machines idle, you can expand your business appropriately.
For example, a Land of Light driver's license?
Summoned license for the Armored Warrior?
Cards are unsalable, save Meng Zai!
A set of combination punches will not worry about the child not being fooled. Even if you are not fooled, seeing Uncle Meng crying into tears, are you embarrassed to pretend to be deaf and dumb?
That's it!
turned around and released the news, saying that the armor warriors were unsalable, Pengda suffered serious losses, and Mr. Meng washed his face with tears all day long, and the sequel and the big movie had no choice but to postpone......
As a fan, are you sad?
Since you feel sad, why don't you do something for Mr. Meng? Maybe your little kindness can warm Mr. Meng's heart~!
