Chapter 186: Organize a group to visit the PD Building
Meng Lang is hospitalized.
But the company hasn't shut down, and it's even busier than usual. Because during this time, another Pengda drama is about to be broadcast!
"Balala Little Demon Fairy 2"!
This drama started filming very early, and Wang Kui was sent to this crew as a director after completing his directing studies. Roughly calculated, the filming cycle of this drama is as long as one year!
"Director Wang is a little slow!"
Ma Teng said with a hippie smile: "If this is filmed by Mr. Meng, the fifth season can be filmed!"
Wang Kui said angrily: "This is my first time directing, do you know that I work slowly and carefully? There is only one Mr. Meng, and you can't compare me with Mr. Meng!"
Is this a sycophant?
Meng Lang, who was wearing a hospital gown, leaned on the hospital bed, took a bite of the apple and asked, "How is the schedule arranged? On which TV station will it premiere? How is the development of the derivative of the sequel progressing?"
"The premiere is scheduled for the Egawa Children's Channel, and in order to stagger the schedule with Kamen Rider, the broadcast time is 1:00 p.m. Wang Kui groaned.
"There's no need for that. ”
Meng Lang shook his head and said, "Kamen Rider is a weekly drama, and the main audience does not overlap with the little demon fairy, and there is no such thing as a crash. ”
Although the main selling points of these two dramas have "transformation" elements, and they both belong to the live-action special effects genre, the audience groups are very different, and there is no need to worry about schedule crashes.
For example, the legend of Tianhuo is different from the spirit of the hurricane, the audience is basically the same, even if one is a live-action drama and the other is a cartoon, a competitive relationship has also been formed, which is called a crash.
There is no conflict between the sequel of Little Demon Fairy and Kamen Rider, even if someone watches both dramas, but it is still a minority. Most viewers will only choose one of the dramas to watch.
Now that the schedule has been determined, Meng Lang didn't say much, but just asked about the development progress of derivatives. By the way, I also asked for the audience's feedback after Kamen Rider's broadcast.
"The response has been good. ”
Ma Teng scratched his head and said: "It's just that the audience is not very used to the weekly broadcast mode, and they feel that it is too difficult to watch one episode a week." ”
He gave Meng Lang a piece of data.
On the TV platform, domestic audiences are nourished by the "two episodes a day" model, and they are not very interested in weekly dramas, and the ratings can only be regarded as average.
However, on Penguin Video, the number of views of Kamen Rider and the number of followers have increased exponentially, and more and more viewers have given up watching TV dramas and choose to use more portable mobile phones or tablets to watch dramas.
This was also expected by Meng Lang.
It is true that weekly dramas are more suitable for online platforms than traditional TV platforms. After all, it is inconvenient to catch up on TV, which is like carrying a mobile phone with you, and you can catch up on dramas through video software when you are free.
But the TV platform is still important.
Especially the type of drama like special effects, it is inseparable from the TV platform. After all, the audience of special effects dramas is mostly underage children, like this group of people, a large part of whom do not have their own mobile phones or computers.
Even if there is, its use is restricted.
Only TV platforms can reach a sufficient audience. Don't talk about how developed the Internet is, everyone has a mobile phone and other, don't treat the mountain audience as a person?
In many rural areas of the country, the only way for children to have fun is watching television. You let them chase Kamen Rider on the penguin video, do you have to pull the network cable?
This part of the audience, in addition to the ratings, can't bring much benefit to Meng Lang. After all, due to family background, sensible children will not buy Uncle Meng's toys and derivatives for the time being.
But Uncle Meng did not forget them.
As long as it is Pengda's work, whether it is an animation or a live-action drama, or a big movie that has been released, he will try his best to move to the TV platform and bring Uncle Meng's love to those children in the depths of the mountains.
Maybe they couldn't afford Uncle Meng's toys when they were children, but they studied hard, got out of the cage of the mountains, and after they had a stable income, they were the solid backing of Meng Lang.
Feelings are a terrible power!
Take "Ultraman" as an example, the ratings data obtained by Meng Lang is only the statistical data of urban cable TV, like those satellite signal pots in the mountainous areas, which are not included.
The light of the Land of Light has spread to every corner, perhaps because of the inconvenient transportation and poor network, those children have not been able to give Uncle Meng the most timely feedback.
But they will never forget that sometime in their childhood, when they were like a little mud monkey with a snot hang, they saw the moment when Uncle Meng raised β magic wand and transformed on TV......
That's feelings!
It is also a source of confidence for Meng Lang.
No matter how high the number of online broadcasts is, he will not cut the broadcast plan of the TV platform.
Moreover, the ratings are not low!
"Kamen Rider's first broadcast ratings broke four points, and when the second episode was broadcast the following week, the ratings dropped by as much as 5! The average rating was only 211!"
After Ma Teng finished speaking, Meng Lang nodded and said, "Not bad! This rating is basically stable." After all, there was a week between the first episode and the second episode, and I thought it would fall to 1. ”
The ratings of the first episode premiere are not credible, and many of them are viewers who heard about the "Pengda New Drama Premiere" to see the excitement, and they may have changed the channel before they finished watching the first episode.
On the contrary, the ratings of the second episode 211 are more valuable, after all, the two episodes are broadcast between a week, and so many viewers choose to follow the series, Kamen Rider has been very successful.
"PD knights are still useful!"
"Well, it works!"
Ma Teng immediately said: "Up to now, we have given away 50 copies of PD knights in China, which have been well received. ”
It's free, of course!
And the design of this PD knight is really eye-catching, it has only been launched for less than a month, and someone has already awarded it the award of "the most popular PD toy of the year" in advance.
There were even exclamations.
"If the PD knight is born early, he will be able to catch up with this year's Nuremberg Toy Fair, and he will definitely win the award for this design!"
Of course, the person who said this has been silenced by netizens.
"Do you want Uncle Meng to have another Nuremberg Star?"
"Just rotten money take me one!"
Seriously, in addition to the two characteristics of "extremely rare" and "excellent design", the two characteristics of PD Knight are so popular, and perhaps more importantly, this thing is "free to get"!
Uncle Meng sent it for free, can you give a bad review?
PD knights are not only popular in China, but also in many overseas regions. The second-hand market in the United States even offered PD Knight a recycling price of $3,000.
The countryman was even more overjoyed.
Oh my God! PD has found its conscience!
With such a good design of the PD knight, he doesn't want money to give it away for free? This is also too conscientious, and it is the PD that moved the British to say!
It's pretty much the same on the neon side.
Ishimori said in an interview that PD Knight is really cool and will consider adding it to the Knight series TV series.
Just a soy sauce, of course.
After Shi Sen saw the design of the PD knight, he called Meng Lang and asked if the PD knight was the next generation of knights "appointed" by the president.
It was only later that I learned.
"Just do it, don't take it seriously!"
Forget about the special TV drama, it's almost the same to let the PD knight play soy sauce, and it's best to be transformed by him, the president, himself.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, Meng Lang, the president of PD, snapped the drive, held up his PD king membership card with his right hand, and shouted: "The children's dreams are guarded by me!"
Membership card placement drive.
"Shrimp dumpling certification!"
"King Activation!"
"Card face to fight!pd!"
After the brilliant light effect ended, Meng Lang transformed into a "PD Family Bucket Knight", stretched his limbs and twisted his neck and said, "Eat me and kick me with a limited shot!"
It's beautiful just to think about!
Of course, this is just Meng Lang's cranky thoughts, the shape of the PD knight is too much, and the value of the holster is not lower than the ultimate form. It's a waste to spend so much money on a holster and only play soy sauce.
Meng Lang was reluctant.
Next time, I will do it by all means next time!
......
After being hospitalized for five days, Meng Lang was finally discharged after the doctor said "don't occupy medical resources".
The filming of the big movie is almost over.
According to the project schedule, the preliminary preparation is 3 months, the shooting is 3 months, and the later stage is 23 months, which is tentatively scheduled to be released during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
At the end of May, after filming the last scene of Fuji Akiko "laying cubs" in the hospital, the filming work finally ended.
After all, it's a "holster war"!
Post-production special effects are the big picture, and the production time may be longer than the shooting time. In the area of special effects, Meng Lang spent a lot of money and gave every Pengda special effects artist a new wife, which is really good.
At least Meng Lang was satisfied.
"Just do it according to this standard, don't save me money, comrades who have this idea, it is recommended to take a look at my Weibo nickname. ”
The special effects artists nodded.
Meng Lang left the special effects department satisfied, walked into Ma Teng's office, and asked him, "Tomorrow is Children's Day, how about the activities that you led the organization before?"
"It's ready!"
Ma Teng said confidently: "The announcement of the event was released one month in advance, and there were many applicants. 1,000 lucky fans were successfully screened, and most of them have already boarded flights to Gangcheon. ”
"That's good! What about the media?"
"I'm also in touch, Mr. Meng, don't worry!"
Ma Teng took out a plan and gave Meng Lang a detailed introduction: "The main locations of this happy tour are PD Building and Ultra Park. Among them, the PD building is mainly visited and introduced, and the Ultra Park is the experience and tour link......"
For Meng Lang, Children's Day is very important.
It is even more important than the Spring Festival, after all, foreigners are only the Spring Festival, and they can't cheat their pocket money.
On this year's Children's Day, Pengda took the lead in organizing an event - PD Happy Tour, which will last for a week, and will draw 1,000 lucky fans from all over the world, and Pengda will provide round-trip air tickets, food and lodging to visit Jiangchuan.
You have to let consumers know where their money goes!
Visit the PD Building, which looks like an "unfinished building", and the crowded "Ultra Park", and then shake hands with Uncle Meng up close, this trip to Jiangchuan is great!
