Chapter 173: Ultraman Theatrical Version (First Update)
Jokes are jokes.
The ratings of Skyfire Legends have dropped, but they are still within a manageable 10%, which is an acceptable range.
Stable 3.5% or more!
is very powerful, and basically can't find an opponent in the same period, except for his own little brother Hurricane Soul can keep up with the pace, other dramas are not competitive.
This can also be regarded as a hit.
Since it is a hit, there must be a derivative product to match it, such as the transformation device and assembled puppet of the Four Spirit Warriors.
Stickers, posters, mouse pads, are not interesting, the real new product has to be the "Legend of Skyfire" series with fire "Western Regions Tourism".
It's all a conspiracy of the tourism board!
As I said before, the legend of Skyfire is more like a travel promotional film than a toy commercial.
This drama has brought fire to the Western Regions tourism project.
It is no exaggeration to say that the exposure brought by a legend of Tianhuo to the Western Regions is stronger than the local tourism bureau playing a hundred advertisements on TV.
Meng Lang really didn't collect money.
Although he likes money very much, he has not fallen into the eyes of money, so why do you have to collect money to do something like this?
And the benefit must be to collect money?
Not necessarily!
"Mr. Meng is amazing!"
Wang Kui admired from the bottom of his heart: "What honorary citizen title did you receive for the tourism promotion ambassador of a province without moving?"
"Do you think I want to?"
Meng Lang raised his index finger and shook it, and said with an indifferent expression: "Compared with these false names, in fact, what I gained the most this time was that I was praised by a certain big guy." ”
"What compliment?"
Meng Lang smiled mysteriously, and said in the northern Hebei accent of the big guy: "Xiao Meng has done a good job!"
With that, he gave a thumbs up.
Wang Kui instantly understood, then he pointed to the sky, saw Meng Lang nodded, and then said: "There is still such a benefit? No wonder Mr. Meng, you don't care about the ratings." ”
That's a mistake.
The ratings are not high, how can it drive tourism in the Western Regions? If it can't drive tourism in the Western Regions, even if the legend of Tianhuo has more elements in the Western Regions, it will be in vain!
To put it bluntly, these are mutually reinforcing.
The effect of the original legend of Tianhuo is not so good, after all, Meng Lang changed the heroine to a Uyghur girl.
Of course, this cannot be said to Wang Kui.
Tool people should have the appearance of tool people.
As Mr. Meng's tool, Wang Kui can be said to be doing his best, in order to shoot the sequel to "Balala Little Demon Fairy", his hair is almost gray.
After complaining about the troubles of filming, Wang Kui suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Meng, even the firepower boy Wang has a big movie, does the little demon fairy have to make a big movie?"
"It can be done, but not now. ”
Meng Lang rubbed his eyebrows and said: "As for the big movie, it has been arranged at present, and before this big movie is released, the other series will wait for the time being." ”
A big movie is definitely going to be done!
It's just that the little demon fairy has to line up and shoot a theatrical version of Ultraman first and then shoot something else.
Is there a theatrical version of Ultraman?
Of course there is, and there are a lot of them! All Ultraman who has a TV drama basically has an exclusive theatrical version, and only a few don't.
There is even Ultraman who has no TV drama like Bunny Sai, but the theatrical version is full of protagonists.
The original also had a theatrical version.
At the beginning of Heisei, Tsuburaya specially produced a theatrical version of "Wake Up! Ultraman" in honor of the first Ultraman.
This theatrical version is kind of interesting.
To say that it's ugly, it's Tsuburaya fried cold rice stinky and shameless, and if you cut the TV drama, you will treat it as a theatrical version.
Meng Lang is not as cheeky as Tsuburaya.
It's a bit too much to cut a TV drama as a theatrical version, and if you really want him to do it, it will definitely arrange an independent plot for the theatrical version.
The theatrical version of Ultraman is also one of the many flatbreads painted by Meng Lang at the carnival. Since you have drawn the cake, you have to find a way to make it.
Otherwise, who will buy it next time?
It is necessary to do it, but how to do it has to think carefully. Learn from Tsuburaya that is looking for death, Tsuburaya has a set of TV dramas, and the theater version should be pulled down as soon as possible.
Learn from Aunt Dong?
Forget about this, although the theatrical version made by Aunt Higashi is slightly better than Tsuburaya, it is not much better.
Both families are brothers and sisters.
In the final analysis, the reason why the theatrical versions of these two are tepid is that, in addition to the unpleasant reason for the special effects movie, it is largely ruined by "conformism".
You have to learn Marvel for this!
When people make movies, they directly smash the setting system of comics, do you think comic fans will be angry and boycott? Forget it, comic fans smell faster than anyone else.
Of course, Marvel is a comic book to a movie after all, considering the difference between the two carriers of comics and movies, it is reasonable to make some modifications appropriately.
What we need to learn is not to change randomly, but to think.
The audience spends money to go into the cinema, and he wants to see something different from the TV drama, not to watch an extended version of the TV drama.
Tsuburaya made an attempt.
The theatrical version of "Armageddon! Super Ultra 8 Brothers", commonly known as "Super 8", is a very successful theatrical version.
Although the box office failed to meet expectations, at least it got rid of the old routine of "lengthening TV dramas", played with "feelings", joined the "independent world view", and began to tell a story seriously.
That's enough!
can make the audience feel that I am spending money to buy tickets instead of watching extended TV dramas, this is a passing grade. If the audience has the idea of "you won't lose if you watch it again", it is a great theatrical version.
According to this thinking, the theater version will not necessarily explode at the box office, after all, the box office is too affected by the film schedule, but it should not be a problem to return to the original.
Meng Lang already had a preliminary idea.
As the first theatrical version of Ultraman, the steps can't be too big, and the "fan-oriented" positioning can't be abandoned for the time being.
When we gain a firm foothold in the future and seek steady progress in TV dramas, the theatrical version can be bold and innovative, try to get rid of the burden of "fan-oriented", and make an independent theatrical version that is truly oriented to passers-by and audiences.
If the first batch of Ultraman fans grow up and have spending power, they can also play "feelings" to attract them to the cinema.
Of course, it's good to have ideas.
The question is......
Will this movie be a loss?
Firepower movies are exceptional, after all, they are all stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the same period, and they used ticket stubs to draw to push the box office up.
This is the Ultraman theatrical version!
Let's not talk about whether it is strong in the same period, let's just say that the ticket stub draws limited toys, and it is okay to play it once from time to time, but I am afraid that playing it will attract the disgust of the audience.
So what to do?
Implant new toys in the theatrical version and then monetize the derivatives?
This one does!
Just what kind of toys do you want to implant?
Is the Cotter team equipment updated?Or is the human body transformer updated?Or, get Zofie a transformer to make soy sauce?
That sounds inferior.
It's that Zaffie can pull it out and slip around, even if this is the original theatrical version, it doesn't say that Zoffie can't play, right?
Not to mention Zoffie, Saiwen is also ......
When Meng Lang thought of this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
He seems to have a way!
If the theatrical version becomes an event to "announce the ENN", for example, a certain ENN is about to launch a TV drama, then let him make a cameo appearance as a "mystery guest" in the theatrical version of his predecessor.
With a curiosity about ENN, the audience will definitely go into the cinema to find out.
In this way, won't the box office of the movie go up? And with the support of Lao Ao, when the TV drama premiered, the popularity of the TV drama was definitely not low.
Just like Bunny Race, since the first appearance of the big movie, there have been constant petitions from viewers for Tsuburaya to launch a TV drama about Bunny Race.
The end of Lao Olympic TV, the launch of the theatrical version to promote the new Olympics, the appearance of the new Olympics to promote the box office of the theater version, if the new Olympics response is good, the TV drama will follow the theater version......
It's a virtuous circle.
