Chapter 708: Ultraman for Young Audiences?
January 21.
TBS aired the first episode of Tiga.
The story is still the same as the original, without the slightest change. However, the theme song "Miracle Reappearance" became the Japanese version of "TakeMeHigher".
The singer is still a V6 band!
In order to practice this song well and ensure that the pronunciation is accurate, Gu Miao and his team members signed up to study Japanese for a long time, and almost delayed filming.
Originally, I talked about a singer before.
The singer is a language genius, switching between Japanese and English and Chinese seamlessly. He was chosen to sing the theme song in order to save money.
As a result, the goods ran away.
To be precise, that guy was because of "unsatisfactory love". publicly announced on Twitter that he would leave the music industry for a period of time to reorganize his feelings......
Talking about good cooperation is naturally blown!
As a last resort, when there was no "spare tire" in the PD neon branch, Meng Lang decided to let V6 learn Japanese and English to replace the original singer.
As it turned out, it worked!
Although the pronunciation is still a little flawed, V6 is a Huaxia team after all, and singing like this has already made neon fans very satisfied.
And, when they learned.
After Gu Miao, the lead singer of the V.6 band, turned out to be the actor who played "Da Gu" in the play, that little dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant.
The protagonist sings the theme song himself, which is the first time in Ultraman's history, so what's the dissatisfaction?
What, Uncle Meng, you say?
Pull it down!
He only sang the Taylor theme song, the theme song of the first generation, which was sung by Zuo Lun.
In addition to the theme song, the neon version also has a new opening cut.
Because Tiga is a weekly drama that is filmed and broadcast at the same time, when the Chinese version is broadcast, there is not much material accumulated. So the opening of the film seems very "simple", and there are only a few wonderful moments back and forth.
The neon version is different.
At this point in time, the Chinese version of Tiga has been broadcast to the 39th episode of "Worship Ultraman". Even the superpower "foresight" Kirino has appeared, how can there be a lack of materials?
Therefore, the opening film is cut beautifully.
However, the opening is the opening after all, and no matter how wonderful the cut is, it is not as attractive as the feature film.
The first episode is still the same!
A mysterious meteorite falls, and Gorzan suddenly appears. When Mercy says the pyramid, GUTS sets off to look for it, and bumps into Melba and Gorzan in a row, and Dagu turns into a ray of light when he is dying......
"There is only one way to revive the giant, and that is to turn the Great Gu into light!"
This line of mercy is simply a classic among the classics. Although Neon does not have the homophonic stalk of "Da Gu = Big Bone", this is an imported drama.
The so-called imported dramas must be dramas that have been broadcast by others and bought back by TV stations with good results.
As a result, some memes are also universal.
has been broadcast in China for so long, and the homophonic stalk of "big bones boiled into soup" is well known. After Tiga introduced neon, this homophonic stalk was also introduced to neon.
But it's a pity that it didn't catch fire.
After all, the cultural background is different, even if you know that "big bones are boiled into soup". Neon netizens can't understand either, what does the big bone soup have to do with Tiga?
Is it homophonic? That's really hard to understand.
In the eyes of domestic audiences, the "homophonic stalks" in Japanese are simply one cold joke after another, and they can't be understood at all.
In the eyes of neon audiences, "big bones boiled into soup" is also a cold joke, not interesting and incomprehensible.
Therefore, the price of neon bones has not increased!
But then again......
Even if there is no homophonic stalk, it will not affect Tiga's popularity in Neon. After all, the four giant gods of the "First Seven Di Zero" in the Yengu Valley, with an additional European political commissar, can imagine the popularity status!
Not to talk about the status of "Heisei Big Brother", nor the honor of "The Only Nebula Award", just with the plot and setting, Diga can eat in Neon.
This is the first Ultraman work to give Ultraman the "embodiment of light" and weaken Ultraman's image to highlight "people".
Dagu is both light and human!
This sentence perfectly explains the biggest difference between Tiga and many Showa old-timers.
Tiga is Dagu, and Dagu is Tiga.
These two are the same "individual"!
Unlike Ultraman in the Showa period, there is a distinction between "deity" and "human body". From the beginning to the end, the Tiga deity never appeared.
Secondly, the plot is full of novelty!
A huge world view with a completely new background that is different from the M78 universe. The story has gradually moved from "amazing horror" to "orthodox sci-fi", which is an extremely important change.
People often ask, is a special effects drama considered a science fiction drama?
If it is the Showa Ao Showa and Knight Showa team, Meng Lang thinks it doesn't count. They should be classified as "amazing horror" dramas.
Ultraman started from Tiga, and the story no longer took the old road of surprise and curiosity, and began to integrate innovation, develop brain holes and take the science fiction fantasy route.
This stage can be classified as a science fiction drama!
In fact, to be precise, the real transformation of the Ultraman series should start with "Taylor". Since then, there have been signs of this.
But......
Leo Eddie's sword went off the rails and nearly extinguished the flames. Fortunately, Diga added another bundle of firewood, and he was saved.
The novel setting background, the excellent plot, and the "three" form transformation full of unknown possibilities are all the advantages of Tiga.
Thanks to these advantages, Tiga's results did not disappoint everyone after the premiere of Neon.
No. 1 in the ratings of the same period!
failed to break the record, but this is mainly due to the poor environment of neon in recent years, and the ratings of sub-supply-oriented works are generally poor.
Anime rises too fast!
In the early years, tokusatsu dramas could still press an anime. Especially the popular special effects drama, which almost dominated the list in the same period.
But not in recent years......
With the decline of neon newborns year by year, the "otaku" culture is sought after by more and more young men and women, and the neon cultural industry is ushering in a revolution.
In the past, there were many newborns, and many children were born and grown up every year, and the market for sub-oriented works did not shrink.
But now the number of newborns is decreasing year by year, and there is no new audience to add, and the sub-supply works are gradually eroded by the "home-oriented" works.
After all, children will grow up!
When I was a child, I loved to watch Ultraman Kamen Rider, and when I grew up, I liked to watch the two-dimensional wife, and I was obsessed with light and *** paintings, so how could I have time to take care of other works?
Speaking of this, President Ono was also worried.
He wrote a report of more than 1,000 words and submitted it to the Group's Board of Directors. It is believed that the current market environment has changed suddenly, and the company also needs to adapt in advance, and it is not okay to stick to the rules.
The so-called "adaptation" to the environment, he made a suggestion.
Perhaps, you can try to make a work for a large number of "young audiences". In this way, the existing viewership base will be expanded and the audience loss will be reduced.
"Good proposal!"
After reading the report, Meng Lang replied to President Ono by email: "I have similar thoughts, but I haven't thought about what theme to choose. Now that I think about it, how about choosing Ultraman?"
"Ultraman?"
After receiving the reply, President Ono was stunned.
The words are full of hints, but the four big characters "Kamen Rider" are not written. As a result, after you read it, tell me about Ultraman?
Pretending to be stupid? Or is it really stupid?
