Chapter 486: Casting Genius
Due to the large number of participants and the division of different age groups, the competition at the county level will last for about a week.
Meng Lang can't always pay attention.
During this period, he held a low-key launch conference of "Ultraman Leo" and answered questions from some media reporters.
"There will be two Ultramans this year!"
Meng Lang raised his fingers and said, "For the company's strategic adjustment, there is no comment for the time being. All I can tell you is that this is a very important year. â
Especially important!
Kamen Rider Stronger represents the end of the glorious era. And Eddie at the end of the year represents the end of the Ultra brothers.
As the two most profitable IPs under PD, the future of Kamen Rider and Ultraman will point out the development trajectory of the group in the next ten or even twenty years, and the importance can be imagined.
On Ultraman's side, after Eddie finished. Meng Lang prefers to take a break for a year or two and make concoctions such as Zaiasi, Saiwen X, and the theatrical version.
Kamen Rider is slightly more complicated.
Showa Knights, divided into several periods. The Glory Seven is only the first issue of Showa. After the strongman is over, there are also representatives of the second phase such as Sky Knight and ZX.
And the black of the third phase of Showa, although Toei included it in the "Showa Knights" sequence, there was also Ishimori himself involved in the production. Judging from the age, this is a Heisei knight.
As for the three brothers of the black family......
Eh, are there any three knights?
Ishimori himself has already expressed the idea of withdrawing after the stronger is finished. As the successor of Bai Cang, Meng Lang also chatted with him.
Bai Cang's thinking is more extreme.
He wanted to break the old cage and create a new image of the knight. This idea was supported by Ishimori.
So from this point of view, after Shirakura takes over Kamen Rider, the so-called "Showa Phase II" is very likely to be aborted.
It's a shame indeed!
But Shi Sen also said that one day, when he can't bear the loneliness and wants to return. He will definitely pick up the guide tube and complete the unfinished dream.
Anything is possible!
As a year of change and opportunity. The birth of Leo is undoubtedly the focus of attention.
There were several key points at the press conference.
First of all, the actors!
Leo broke the convention of the past, Fengyuan is not a human body, but a human form of Leo. In keeping with this setting, the cosplayer is the same person as Leo's holster actor.
That's right!
In addition to playing Feng Yuan in the play, Wang Dali will also wear a holster to play Ultraman Leo, playing two roles.
This is the first time.
Following Jiangchuan Xiaobawang Meng Heizhu, courier brother Wang Fei, idol trainee Yao Bin, villain professional household Li Yongsheng, Hengdian corpse Yang Zhe and male model Tao Zhao, a new leather suit actor Wang Dali has been added to the camp of Ultraman human body.
Mr. Meng is really a casting genius!
When the three Ultra Humans are present, the "Wonderful Profession" bond can be triggered. With five people present, the bond is raised by one level, and with seven people present, the "Kamen Rider's Doom" effect is triggered?
This lineup is outrageous!
After announcing the actor of the male lead, Meng Lang also introduced several other actors, among whom there are many familiar faces, such as Wang Fei and the Polish beauty Misha.
There are new faces too!
The actress of the heroine Bai Zhi is named Ye Zixiao, who is 25 years old this year. As a pure newcomer, the audience doesn't know much about her.
Looks okay!
A pure and quiet appearance, paired with a light purple plaid dress. When he smiled and beckoned, he was very much like Meng Lang's dream lover.
It's a pity that it's too ripe to start.
Ye Zixiao's appearance and acting skills are not outstanding among newcomer actors. Why can she join PD film and television, and can still play the heroine?
Don't ask, ask is FÇBĂ i!
Her brother Ye Ziyan was Meng Zai's college classmate and roommate. The relationship is okay, not only helped him repair the computer, but also went to the foot washing city to pinch his feet together.
Ye Zixiao likes acting and just graduated from Zhonghai University of Media last year. This circle is too dirty, and the old classmate can't rest assured that his sister can't take care of it, so he specially entrusts Meng Zai to take care of it.
FÇ BĂ i's way?
After many years, Ye Ziyan invited Meng Zai to wash his feet and pinch his feet, and gave him an IOU handwritten by Meng Zai when he was in college.
When it comes to this, Meng Lang is embarrassed to refuse. As a result, Ye Zixiao successfully joined PD Film and Television and became a signed artist......
The opportunity was given to her!
As for whether she can seize the opportunity and not disappoint her brother and Mr. Meng, she has to rely on her own efforts.
In addition to the starring lineup, another focus of this press conference is the screenwriter selection.
"Hello everyone, I'm Bai Sauce!"
As soon as Bai Sauce, who had lush hair and a handsome appearance that did not look like a mortal, made an appearance, it immediately caused a sensation in the audience.
"It's not that who......"
"Bai Sauce, the supreme god of the online literature world?"
"I vomited, so talented and so handsome, how can there be such a person in the world?"
Leo's screenwriter is actually a supreme god who has been famous for a long time in the online literature industry?
"It's a heavy story!"
Meng Lang said frankly: "In order to try a new style, we abandoned the brightness and cheerfulness of the previous work Taylor, and implanted more realistic and heavy wind into the original project of Leo. â
"Since it was the first attempt, our screenwriters didn't grasp the degree of it. As a result, the original case was too heavy and depressed, which did not meet the market demand. â
"For that, we brought in white sauce. â
"We hope to use the refreshing feeling of online articles to neutralize some of the heavy depression. While retaining the humanistic depth of the original case, you can enjoy a soothing and peaceful look. â
"It's hard!"
Bai Jiang took over the topic and said: "For example, the difficulty of this matter is about the same as adapting Liang Zhu. It is necessary to retain the critical ideology of the original work, but also to praise the greatness of love, and not let Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai die......"
"Hahaha!"
There was a burst of laughter in the room.
After the laughter stopped, Bai Jiang nodded and said, "Fortunately, with the assistance of the PD screenwriting team, we completed this task together." â
Speaking of which, everyone understands.
Leo's story style should be different from Taylor's, and even different from the previous Ultraman works.
It should be a tragic hero.
A prince in distress, a grief for the loss of his parents and his hometown, and a weak body to guard the peace and tranquility of the earth. From the words revealed by Meng Zai, the heaviness of this story can already be perceived.
It's so distressing to have such a different hero. How bumpy and bizarre is the story that happened to him?
The audience is full of anticipation!
But looking forward to it, Leo only started today. It will be June or July at the earliest, before we can meet the audience.
Provided that all goes well.
If there is an accident in the middle of the filming, or if the actor is injured or sick. The broadcast time has to be postponed for 1-2 months.
It is worth mentioning that in Leo TV dramas, Ultraman rarely uses light effects. The corresponding post-production time has been reduced by more than half.
Leo Fly Kick?
The effect of a red light or a fire on the soles of the feet is simpler than light!
