Chapter 178: This Time It's Really Doing!
Ratings have gone up.
After ANB's special program was broadcast, more and more children became interested in Kamen Rider.
And that's to be expected.
Speaking of the ratings, since Guiman, the Cavaliers have been pressing Tsuburaya to play.
The special effects plot and even the holster of the Showa Knight are far inferior to the Tsuburaya next door, but the ratings are high, which is not acceptable.
The exact reason for this is difficult to say.
Fans will reminisce about the Showa series, discuss the "three major issues" with relish, and play the stalk of Zofie's "that adult".
But the knight chef rarely reminisces about the Showa series, and even when recommending it to newcomers, he will automatically ignore the Showa knight series.
It's just that in these two series, Ultraman's ratings can't compare to the knights.
Isn't it fascinating?
If you have to explain, it will be enough to sum it up in one sentence.
"Tsuburaya is a craftsman, Toei is a merchant. ”
Aunt Dong doesn't have much ambition, as long as she can make money, she won't think about what she has or doesn't have. Tsuburaya is different, with endless ideas, he could have lived a chic life, but he ended up dead.
Learning from the lessons of his predecessors, Meng Lang would not make the same mistake, and when Kamen Rider's plan was released, he discussed with Shi Sen how derivatives could be profitable.
A second makeover, a belt upgrade!
The derivative of the knight is mainly a toy, and the big head of the toy is the belt. As long as you make a good belt, you won't have to worry about not making money.
The belt of the first knight, the original version will not be mentioned, only the appearance of the new design. The main body is white, and there is a round hole in the center, which is covered with a layer of glass on the outside and a fan inside.
This is a glowing fan!
On the left side of the belt, there is a special press design, as long as the switch is activated, the fan in the belt can emit a red light and rotate, and the side speakers will also emit a transformative sound effect.
The playability is indeed stronger than β magic wand.
Tokusatsu transformers are like this, and the sense of identity is far greater than the playability. If you really want to talk about playability, yo-yos and four-wheel drives can beat all tokusatsu transformers.
It's not interesting to be really.
The design of the belt was completed very early, and the production of the mold was also done before the Spring Festival, but it was only when Kamen Rider started broadcasting that it was officially launched to the public.
The domestic and neon release dates are the same.
But Kamen Rider has not been broadcast in China yet, and there are very few children who know about this drama, and although the belt is on sale, there are not many sales. Things are much better with Neon, as the Knight's hit, belts and ancillary derivatives are selling well.
Uncle Meng smiled.
......
The Legend of Skyfire continues to be a hit.
At present, the broadcast progress is more than halfway, and it is expected that the first round of broadcast will be completed before the end of the month to start the replay journey.
In order to continue to hype up the existing popularity, Meng Lang, who rarely accepts interviews, had to take a few interviews.
Don't ask, it's Wang Binla who asks.
As the leading actor, Wang Bin fell behind a lot in his studies because of his participation in the legend of Tianhuo, and he returned to school to make up classes after the crew was disbanded.
The starring actor ran away, and the heroine Ayimu is a pure newcomer who can't hold up the pomp. In the case that no one can top it, don't you have to come forward with the director to shout!
Supporting roles, you say?
Forget it, the actor of the White Tiger Warrior Ao Tian received the new play and went to Hengdian, the actor of the Xuanwu Warrior...... People are sad, so don't bother him.
Speaking of which, he's quite pathetic.
is obviously an extremely sunny big boy, since he finished acting in the legend of Tianhuo, others looked at him for the first time, first looked at a certain part, and then looked at his face.
Those shameless bear children will also raise their heads and ask him maliciously.
"Big pigeon, why don't you wear open crotch pants?"
In this way, a good sunny man was distorted into an otaku by reality and suffered from extremely serious "social phobia".
Meng Lang was ashamed of this.
It turned out that he, the director, was primarily responsible. If he had been more resolute at that time and let the holster master repair the holster and shoot it again, he would have been able to save the poor Xuanwu warrior.
Of course, sympathy is sympathy, and the rotten money must continue to be cha.
The puppet of the Xuanwu warrior, Meng Lang made a special design.
The Xuanwu Warrior made by the PD Authorized Toy Factory is the intact version, that is, the normal version. However, the Xuanwu warriors produced by PD's own toy factory will have an opening in the crotch that will be broken.
Compared with the normal version, the damaged version not only has no discount, but the price has been increased by 100!
Spend an extra hundred and buy a broken version?
Do you think the damaged version can't be sold?
You don't understand this, don't look at this as a "PD IQ tax", but consumers will eat this set, if you don't open your mouth, he won't buy it! In Pengda's official flagship store, the sales of the damaged version are ten times that of the normal version.
Ten times over!
There are so many fools, Uncle Meng is almost tired of counting money.
The Xuanwu warriors have contributed so much to Meng Zai, if they don't express it, it really can't be justified.
With this in mind, in an interview with the media, Meng Lang said that he would use the sales revenue of the damaged version of the toy to create a two-meter-high "bronze statue of Xuanwu Warrior", and in the future, together with the bronze statues of Ultraman, Kamen Rider and other characters, it will be included in the PD ancestral hall to enjoy Meng Zai's incense offerings.
"Does the bronze statue have an opening?"
You're a journalist, aren't you?
It's a character who can enter the ancestral hall, so can he ......
"The bronze statue will definitely speak!" Meng Lang replied without hesitation.
Is this "leaving a name in history" or "leaving a stench for 10,000 years"? The reporter thought with a lot of gossip.
"Mr. Meng, I heard that the theatrical version of Ultraman is about to be filmed?
"Call me Director Meng!"
Correcting the reporter's title first, Meng Lang then explained: "The theatrical version was indeed filmed, but our artistic director Wang Kui felt that it was not possible, and ordered a reshoot until he was satisfied with the results." ”
"Is it so harsh?"
Meng Lang nodded and said: "Yes, Director Wang's original words are that if the filming is not good, then it is better to lose all your money than to put it in the cinema to cheat money, this is the perseverance that a filmmaker should have, and it is also the foundation of our Pengda Film and Television." ”
"Well said!"
After the reporter left, Meng Lang's riotous words were written into the report article as they were.
Then Meng Lang was sprayed.
"You look at your firepower movie, touch your conscience and say, is this a bad movie that cheats money?"
"Xiao Meng, he's a businessman who sells toys and knows how to make a fart movie!"
"When he wins the best director, let's say these words, the persistence of the filmmaker?
Tearing Meng Lang with his hands and kicking Pengda. TV movies, forbidden flowers!
Regarding Pengda Film and Television's high-profile entry into the film industry, the attitude of peers is generally disparagement, and there are occasionally a few voices of praise, which are also clearly exaggerated and depreciated, as if Meng Lang does not step on it, he is not a qualified filmmaker.
This made Meng Lang angry.
How can Jiangchuan Xiaobawang stand this grievance!
The box office of the firepower movie is 800 million, and this can't stop the mouths of this group of dog thieves, do you have to force Meng Zai to win the annual box office champion before he is willing to admit defeat?
"I'm not fooled. ”
Meng Lang is not young, so he will not be stimulated by others, so he thinks about proving himself all day long.
The movie does have to be made, but the purpose of making a movie is first and foremost to harvest the box office, followed by the promotion of derivatives, then to improve IP exposure, and finally to promote ENN.
As for proving himself and winning the best director, I'm sorry, Meng Tsai didn't think about that.
The theatrical version is already planned.
The name of the project is tentatively "The Three Ultra Brothers of the Heroes of the Universe"! The name is very earthy, but it doesn't matter, this is only a tentative name, and it can be changed again in the future.
The script was provided by the Pengda screenwriting team, and the core of the story is simple: the Science and Technology Bureau of the Land of Light has researched the "Capsule Monster", but the evil Salome has stolen the technology.
Enraged, the Land of Light sent the three brothers, Hatsudai, Zofie, and Severn, to destroy the Salomes.
This is where the story begins.
The protagonist must be the first generation, Zofi is a supporting role, and Saiwen's appearance time is a decisive battle at the end of the film, mainly to warm up for the TV series.
The Great War took place near Earth, and most of the Salomes had been wiped out by the three brothers, with only a few remnants escaping, and in order to find out the remnants of the Salomes, the stellar observer Severn remained on Earth.
In order to protect this "civilian of the Land of Light", Zofie left the monster capsule sample provided by the Science and Technology Bureau for his protection.
It makes sense.
