Chapter 926: Nexus!

Under the leadership of Meng Lang, although the company's employees were skeptical of the management's decision-making, "The Beautiful Girl of Light" was established.

Before leaving, he left a message.

"Right or wrong, you don't count what you say, it doesn't count what I say, time and the audience will give the right answer!"

Yes!

It's all about time!

If it had been ten years ago, the young and frivolous Meng Lang might have said with a tough attitude: "Who is in favor of, who is against!"

"Those who are in favor stay, those who are against clean up, and they won't have to go to work tomorrow!"

That's his way of doing things.

But Meng Lang is 34 years old this year, and he is no longer the young and frivolous young man.

He became more modest and more tactful. At least they will not scare people for no reason, and they are willing to listen to the voice of every employee and accept every useful suggestion.

People always change!

Meng Lang knew the shortcomings of his character, and he was also trying to correct them. Maybe it's a slow process, but ten years will always make some changes for him.

This year is 2025!

In 2014, PD Film and Television Culture Company was established, and Meng Lang swept the country with his debut film "Fire Boy King". In 2015, PD Film and Television merged with PD Toys to form PD Group......

As of today, exactly ten years!

On the occasion of the hit broadcast of "Ultraman Gaia" and "Kamen Rider 555", the introduction of "Birdman Sentai Splatoon" to China, and the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the establishment of PD Group, Meng Lang, as the chairman of the group, issued an announcement on Weibo.

He's gone!

Don't get me wrong, this is not a stepping down president or a stepping chairman. He officially announced his resignation as the director of the content production department of PD Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., and was succeeded by Yan Tao, deputy director.

Meanwhile!

Through the account of "Tao Mi is not Taomi", he also revealed a message to the public:

After Gaia, the 11th live-action TV drama in the "Ultraman" series will be directed by Yan Tao!

This is an unusual signal!

As we all know, since the birth of the Ultraman series, from the first work "Ultraman" to the latest "Ultraman Gaia", the chief director has always been Meng Lang.

Someone stepped in halfway and filmed a short section or a theatrical version as an assistant director, but the chief director is always Meng Lang.

Now, he's gone!

For the "Oku fans" who have been immersed in the surprises created by Gaia and have loved Ultraman for many years, the disclosure of this news is tantamount to "the sky is falling".

Panda was in a trance all day, and he didn't even hear the professor's roll call.

Kotaro was stunned for an afternoon, suspecting that this was fake news, and specially asked for leave to go to the Chinese website to read the "original announcement".

Confused, Tony commissioned Parker, who taught himself Chinese fairly good vocabulary, to write him an all-Chinese email asking why?

"My mailbox blew up!"

At first, he couldn't open the mailbox, and Meng Lang thought that his computer was malfunctioning. After changing several computers in a row, he realized that it was not a computer problem.

The simple mailbox blew up!

The CEO of an Internet listed company that provides e-mail services personally called to apologize for the incident.

After an urgent attack by technicians, about an hour later, Meng Lang finally entered the mailbox and saw the emails from all over the world in a variety of languages.

It's all about keeping him!

To tell the truth, even a "hard-hearted" person like Meng Lang was moved when he saw this scene, and he couldn't help but have a sour nose and almost cried into tears.

There are too many mails!

The company that provides the email service apologizes that some of the emails have been difficult to recover due to the impact on the server.

The email Meng Lang received was just a drop in the ocean.

In fact!

Since his mailbox collapsed and he could no longer accept emails from the outside world, more and more fans went to the PD official website to leave messages, or call the "PD Member 24-hour Service Hotline".

And then......

The official website also crashed!

The customer service department is so busy that it doesn't even have time to go to the bathroom.

"Mr. Meng, why don't you come forward to explain?"

In the face of this wave of impact, the current president Chen Huan said helplessly: "If this continues, we will not be able to conduct business normally." ”

"Explain what?"

Meng Lang waved his hand and said, "What should I do, and I want them to teach me?"

"You can't say that......"

Chen Huan smiled bitterly: "The current situation is that everyone thinks you are going to retire. ”

Retire?

What kind of!

Uncle Meng has been living and driving several daughters at night, and it is no problem to struggle for another twenty years, why did he fall to the point of retirement?

He just lightened the burden on himself, reduced the pressure of work, and untied "Ultraman" by the way.

How can it be so exaggerated......

However, what Chen Huan said is also reasonable, now that the rumors are spreading more and more outrageous, he, the party, should come forward to clarify.

So, under the chairmanship of Chen Huan, Meng Lang held a small press conference in the No. 1 conference hall of the PD Building. Some false rumors were clarified and some explanations were given on the content of this announcement.

"Who said I was retired?"

"Again, I'm not retiring! Not only do I not have the idea of retiring now, but I won't have it in the next 10 years!"

"Yan Tao took over, this is an early arrangement. He is a very good director, and I believe that the Ultraman series will definitely usher in new development opportunities in his hands!"

"Then will you still direct the Ultraman series of TV series?" asked a reporter from Jiangchuan Satellite TV who raised his hand.

"It depends!"

Meng Lang shook his head and said: "TV series are difficult, but movies are possible." In fact, I'm planning to make an Ultraman movie based on the M78 worldview, so you can look forward to it!"

β€œ...... George as the president of PD Europe and the United States, Robert as the vice president of PD North America, and the director of content production, these are all personnel transfers arranged in advance, please don't over-interpret them. ”

Who believes what you say?

The media reporters present are not stupid, judging from this series of personnel transfers, it is obvious that the PD Group has a "big change" in the leadership team.

It's all newcomers!

People like George and Robert have never heard of their names, let alone know what they do.

Oh, panda people!

That's it?

Of the new executives, the only one with global visibility is Omori.

Because he is one of the overseers of Kamen Rider Dragoon, AgitΞ© and 555, the famous Hakura "Ni". The status in the minds of masquerade fans is acceptable, and the popularity is quite high.

But that's about it!

Even the most famous Omori was obscured by Shirakura, and there were really not many people who knew him.

That's why some people question it!

Is it really okay to replace a group of mature production directors and a group of newcomers who obviously don't have much achievement?

When it comes to the "Ultraman", "Kamen Rider", "Super Sentai" and "Baby" series, fans don't have to worry a lot.

Each of these names is a world-class IP.

What should I do if I mess up a rash substitution?

In response to this question, Meng Lang said very unhappily: "When Shi Sen left Kamen Rider, you also criticized Bai Cang like this. But what about the result? Isn't Shirakura doing very well?"

"If you don't give newcomers a chance to get ahead, how can they still make achievements?"

The journalists were silent.

After the report of the reception came out, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Meng didn't retire, he just untied "Ultraman" and made way for the newcomer. Although the newcomer has no achievements, he can't spray it yet.

People just took over and didn't do anything, at least when they shoot a new work, they choose to spray or praise depending on the situation.

As for Uncle Meng's new work......

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he actually hinted at it. In the future, it will be the world of these young directors, and it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to pick up the guide tube again.

Big movie?

It's just an occasional ticket, and the new work that the audience wants to see refers to TV dramas rather than big movies.

It's a pity!

But it's understandable!

Uncle Meng is almost 40 years old, and he has been hollowed out by Mimi again, and his energy is not as abundant as when he was young. The pressure of a new Ultraman work every year is almost unbearable.

At this time, choosing to retire is actually the wisest choice.

Otherwise, if you continue to work at high intensity, it is normal to die suddenly on the set one day. Although everyone is looking forward to Tao Mi's "second marriage", Meng Lang doesn't want to die of overwork!

It's time to rest......

Meng Lang, who had unloaded his burden, felt more relaxed and happy than ever.

That's right!

A billionaire like him is a serious life, and playing golf in the club every day is a serious life. How can there be a liver script every day until the early hours of the morning, nesting in the editing room for three days without taking a bath?

A happy life is just around the corner!

Meng Lang, who had just felt so emotional, was about to plan his "corrupt second half of his life" when he suddenly received a phone call.

"Mr. Meng, this script ......"

Hang up!

"Mr. Meng, don't hang up, I really can't figure it out, you have time to ......"

"No time!

Yan Tao, who dialed the phone for the third time, said at the fastest speed in his life: "Mr. Meng, the proprietress said that you are teaching your children to count sheep at home, I don't think sheep are fun, why don't we go play ball together?"

"What kind of ball?"

"What are you good at?

"See you at the gym!"

Although Yan Tao just wanted to trick him out and discuss business in the name of "playing". But Meng Lang didn't want to demolish him, because it was really boring to take care of children.

Xiao Tao, this little bastard!

It's rare that the dad is in a good mood and accompanies him to build blocks at home, but this bastard boy still doesn't appreciate it, and would rather play with the nanny than with him.

If it weren't for the "biological" cub, he would have stuffed Xiao Tao into the box and put it on the side of the road for people to take away.

It's a hell of a person!

After throwing the child to his mother and nanny, Meng Lang changed into a sportswear and drove to the city sports center.

Yan Tao arrived early!

This guy didn't take it seriously at first glance, and he didn't even change his clothes, but he still had that suit.

Meng Lang glanced at him, picked up the table tennis racket and asked, "How about it?" Do you want me to let you go? I'm really good at playing this!"

"No!"

Yan Tao touched the back of his head and said honestly: "I have won the championship of provincial and municipal competitions, oh...... Junior Division!"

That's pretty strong, too!

People say that in the field of table tennis, the world championship is not the end, but the Chinese national champion is!

Yan Tao can win the provincial and municipal championships in the junior group, it seems that he should be a good player when he played this when he was a child, and his talent is also very powerful.

As for why he didn't become an athlete......

Perhaps the answer is also very simple, for the sake of "money"! Which parent wants to let their child become an athlete, and if he does not produce results, he will have no income security?

The table tennis hall is very lively!

After all, it is a "national" sport, and there are many people in the museum, mainly the elderly and children. Young people like Meng Lang and Yan Tao are rarely seen.

"Yo, Meng Heizhu is here too?"

"Do you want to fight two?"

"Don't!"

Meng Lang resolutely rejected the old man and said that he would not fight him. Who knows if this ordinary old man will be a retired "world champion"?

It's still cooler to abuse vegetables!

Although Yan Tao was very strong when he was a child, he hadn't played for so many years, and his skills had dropped so much, but he was able to tie with Meng Lang.

Commonly known as "rookie chickens pecking each other"!

After fighting for a while, both of them were sweating and sat next to them to rest.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yan Tao also raised his doubts about his work.

"I don't really understand what you wrote on the business plan, can you explain it to me?"

"Which word?"

"If it is a bond, someone will inherit it and shine again!"

"This ......"

Meng Lang wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel and said with a smile: "This is actually a line that explains the core setting of this drama. ”

"Nexus!"

After repeating it twice, Meng Lang said with a smile: "Just like the situation you are in now, just a bond will be passed down from me to you and continue to shine!"

"If I'm the previous generation, you're the second! It's up to you to decide, so why bother asking me what to do?"

Yan Tao was thoughtful.

Meng Lang is the "first generation of fittestable", and Yan Tao is the "second generation of fittestable". He inherited the light, so he should have his own opinions, how can he ask Mr. Meng about everything?

From this sentence, it can be heard that Meng Lang is very dissatisfied with Yan Tao's performance.

His subtext is pretty straightforward.

If you have to ask me about everything, then why do I want you as a director? Why should I pay you a salary, can't I do it myself?

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Yan Tao nodded and said, "Mr. Meng, I understand!"

"It's good to understand!"

Meng Lang looked at the table in the distance and said with a slight smile: "I know that you are under a lot of pressure right now and pushing yourself very hard, but this is the grinding you have to go through, and I can't help you." ”

"Do it well!"

"If there's something you can't solve, feel free to come to me. But you can do the master's thing, and I want you to make your own decisions. ”

"That's right......"

Meng Lang, who was about to get up and leave, suddenly thought of something and asked Yan Tao, "Isn't Nexus's budget a little tight?"

"Hmm...... A little nervous!"

Yan Tao whispered: "Gemini and Cancer Paradise have siphoned up too much money, and the budget that Chen can always allocate to me is only 250 million ......."

"That's it!"

Meng Lang thought for a while, and then said: "I'll tell Mimi, in the name of her personal investor, I'll get you another 250 million to make up a whole number." ”

This TM is called rounding?

250 million + 250 million = 500 million!

Is this the "super double" the so-called "rounding" of the rich?
