Chapter 194: Theatrical Derivatives
Different from the firepower movie, the Ultra movie has attracted much attention from the beginning of the project, and the theater side also attaches great importance to this film, and the premiere cannot be omitted.
But who to invite?
The main actor of the movie will definitely be invited, and things like the premiere will definitely come. It's just that other guests are not easy to invite, after all, Meng has no good popularity in the circle.
"Let's have more fans!"
In addition to the media, film critics and celebrity guests, there should be hundreds of tickets left, and these empty seats are too wasteful, so it is better to give them to enthusiastic audiences.
Then it was so happily decided!
PD Member Center, lottery to give away tickets for the premiere, it is said that the higher the membership level, the greater the chance of winning!
In addition to the premiere, there is one more thing that must be done well in advance before the movie is released.
That's derivatives development!
This theatrical version will be the first time Saiwen has met the audience, as the first Ultraman with a head dart, after the release of the big movie, presumably the derivatives will also sell well.
Surrounding development began very early.
Severn's Q version of the figurine, stickers and posters!Severn's setting book, character artbook and Ultra Guard guidebook!Severn's refrigerator magnets, keychains, children's clothing and shoes......
And the most profitable - toys!
Severn does not have many types of toys, mainly dolls, transformers and image licenses.
The doll is an absolute big head!
There are various materials of plastic plush metal, the more common being plastic dolls, the back shell has a battery compartment, and pressing a button will make a "battle" sound effect.
The image authorization is similar to the original generation, which is to add Severn elements to other toys, such as water guns and building blocks with Severn's face printed.
Finally, there's the transformer!
Saiwen did not transform into a lens in the theatrical version, and Ultra Glasses also made its debut in the TV version, but what does it matter?
Could it be that the theatrical version doesn't have Ultra glasses, so Uncle Meng won't make this thing?
You're thinking about fart!
Ultra glasses will inevitably come out, not only the toy version, but also the myopia version, that is, the royal version tailored for myopic children, and the lenses can be replaced at the nearby optical store.
In addition to the myopia version, there are also "sunglasses version" and "sunglasses" versions carefully designed by Uncle Meng to meet the various needs of consumers. Anyway, the frames are ready-made, and consumers can install any lenses.
Pengda cooperates with well-known lens manufacturers in China to create a variety of lenses to choose from, and Uncle Meng's wish is to let the whole family use Ultra glasses.
I bought my grandmother an Otter reading glasses, and my grandmother was very happy. Buy Dad an Ultra sunglasses, he can walk a lot. Buy an Ultra sunglasses for your mother, and shopping becomes the focus of the audience.
Put on Ultra Myopia Glasses and become the brightest boy in the class!
Isn't that great?
In addition to the derivatives of Severn, there is also a new gadget in the theatrical version - the upgraded version β magic wand.
That's right!
Uncle Meng's stick upgrade spicy!
The upgraded β Magic Wand not only has the fingerprint unlocking function of the previous generation, but also innovatively introduces the NFC module.
Do you have to pay for the bus and subway?
Uncle Meng only needs to lift β magic wand and combine it with fingerprint recognition to complete the payment!
"Drop!
Is it a show?
The inhabitants of the Land of Light are so different, do you want to buy them at a nearby toy store!
The new β Magic Wand not only has upgraded its functions, but also made some changes to its appearance, adding a special gold pattern of "Ultra Brothers".
The pattern is so distorted that you can't see anything when held vertically, and when you hold the β wand horizontally in front of you, you will see the words "Ultra Brothers" at an angle.
It's a credit to the designer!
Along with the regular edition, there is also a "big movie" PD limited edition. The commemorative edition actually had a plan, but it was not produced.
The commemorative edition has three designs, namely "500 million", "1 billion" and "1.5 billion" box office commemorative editions.
I don't know how much the box office has, but the plan for the commemorative version has been put on hold for the time being, and after the actual box office is reached, it will be launched in turn.
What to do with the box office, you ask?
If the box office is less than 500 million, then these three commemorative β magic wands will become a scrap case?
No, it won't!
Uncle Meng has a back hand!
Wouldn't it be enough to go back and change "500 million" and "1 billion" to "100 million" or "200 million"! Although 100 million commemoration does not sound as good as 1 billion commemoration, there is no way to do it.
Who made the box office hit?
If you work harder and contribute a little more to Uncle Meng's box office, wouldn't the name of the commemorative edition be good!
In addition to the new β magic wand, this theatrical version also launched a new Kote fighter.
The theatrical version of the story takes place 10 years after the finale of the original generation, and in 10 years, the original Kot fighter will definitely usher in an upgrade.
Although the actors have not changed, they are old.
The actors who participated in the theatrical version collectively "aged" ten years old, which is the effect achieved through makeup. Put it in the toy market, the Cotter team members are aging, and they are no longer young, so do the stickers, posters, character albums, have to be replaced?
There is still a young version of Meng Nan on the refrigerator?
It's time to upgrade the little pot friend!
Uncle Meng Nan is old, your young version of the sticker poster is outdated, come and buy an aging version of the Meng Nan sticker poster!
Are there any derivatives?
Of course!
The theatrical version is available, so do you have to arrange the DVD gift package of the TV+ movie?
There are filming highlights on the DVD!
There is also an exclusive "Land of Light" revealing content!
When the film is released, this gift pack is sure to be the best choice for kids to buy DVDs.
Of course, that was after the next screening.
If a big movie hits the street at the box office, not to mention making money back by relying on DVDs, at least it can make a wave of blood. If a big movie explodes at the box office, DVD is also an extra income, so why not make money if you have money?
Just when Meng Lang was busy with the development of a derivative for the theatrical version, Ishimori, who was filming Kamen Rider, came to Egawa and wanted to attend the premiere of the movie.
"I can't wait!"
Ishimori explained, "Neon is expected to be released late, and I wanted to see this work as soon as possible, so I came. ”
"Kamen Rider ......"
"Out of the way!"
Shi Sen shook his head and said, "This episode was filmed by the director of ANB, and I will continue to shoot the next episode when I return to China." ”
Just make arrangements.
Meng Lang asked curiously, "Seeing you like this, you also want to make a theatrical version?" Is it an alienated girl or a Kamen Rider?"
"Kamen Rider!"
Ishimori said without hesitation: "I've had this idea for a long time, to have life-like tokusatsu heroes appear on the screen of movie theaters!"
"Then who's going to shoot V3?"
Meng Lang frowned and said: "As a sequel, I rashly find someone else to take over, I don't agree with this." ”
"I'm going to shoot it!"
Faced with the doubts of shrimp dumplings, Shi Sen explained without thinking: "V3 has the popularity of the previous work, and it can be rebroadcast after filming. V3 will be produced in the first half of next year, and the theatrical version will be filmed in the second half of the year. ”
"What do you think of the shrimp dumplings?"
After speaking, Shi Sen looked at Meng Lang with blazing eyes, expecting to get a satisfactory answer from him.
Meng Lang rubbed his chin and fell into thought.
According to the popularity of "Kamen Rider" in neon now, the sequel V3 really doesn't have to worry about ratings.
Shoot the whole episode and then broadcast it to ANB?
The idea is indeed feasible, but Meng Lang has a better idea. I only heard him say: "That's it, the theatrical version has to be filmed, and the TV drama can't be put down." Find a reliable deputy, you can shoot together!"
It's all taught by Aunt Dong well!
The theatrical version is filmed with the TV drama, anyway, the actors are the same, only one lunch box is bought, and the props and costumes can also be shared, is there anything better than this?
Ishimori accepted the offer.
This is indeed a common thing in neon, everyone plays like this, and next door to the TV set is the theatrical version of the filming site, not to mention eating and resting, even the toilet is the same.
That's it for now.
Although Ishimori only had a preliminary idea, he did not come up with a feasible plan for the theatrical version. Meng Lang still pushed the good news to his five million zombie fans through Weibo.
Draw cake solitaire!
The last cake is about to come out of the pot, so you have to draw the next cake quickly?
"Kamen Rider theatrical version, I'm doing it!"
You have to believe in Meng Zai!
PS: The following chapters are about 1-2 chapters, which will be the plot content of "Heroes of the Universe: The Three Ultra Brothers" that I made up blindly.
