At the end of September, "Iron Armor Xiaobao" was completed.

Just as Meng Lang gathered people and planned to compose a theme song for "Iron Armor Xiaobao", he unexpectedly received a message.

Sad news!

Mr. Qiao, who used to work in the PD film and television content production department and served as the director of model props, died in the hospital yesterday afternoon at the age of 79.

Meng Lang's mood was extremely heavy......

Mr. Qiao joined PD relatively late, but his contribution to PD is not inferior to anyone else in the company.

The famous "Ultraman" series, from the original "Ultraman" to "Ultraman Eddie", it can be said that the entire Showa series of model props is all handled by the old man.

Meng Lang still remembers that at the beginning of the "Ultraman" series, all departments were short of major generals. In order to make a good model props, the old man worked overtime all night and rushed to work.

At that time, he was 70 years old!

A seventy-year-old man can enjoy his old age at home, why should he fight so hard?

In his words.

"It doesn't matter if you have money or not, anyway, if you are idle after retirement, you might as well come to work here and create happiness for children, I think this kind of thing is very meaningful!"

I'm ashamed to say it.

The old man has been working hard for so many years, and every time Meng Lang proposed to give him a salary increase, he was rejected.

"I'm a bad old man, I just need to eat and drink, what are I doing with so much money? You have to really have the heart to give these young people a salary increase, they have a mortgage or a car loan, the pressure is too great......

The old man has a very bad temper, and often scolds the young people who intern, and everyone calls him "King Qiao Yan" in private.

But his bad temper stems from his serious attitude towards work.

In fact, as a leader, he cares about the group of young people under him, and he knows everything about who is out of love and who is looking for a partner......

His departure is definitely a great loss for the entire PD Group!

Pengda Group changed the official website to black and white for the first time, announced the death of Mr. Qiao, and wished the old man a good journey!

The forum is temporarily closed.

The PD mall is all black and white, and when you open any APP under PD, you can see a picture.

Here's a picture.

In the photo, the gray-haired old man Qiao is crouching in front of the table, carefully pasting the paper window of the "miniature" with the help of the light.

The photo was taken five years ago, when PD was working on the project for Ultraman Taylor. Mr. Qiao had a cold and fever, and was "forced to rest" by Mr. Meng and was not allowed to come to work in the company.

As a result, when Ma Teng went to visit, he accidentally found Mr. Qiao, who was resting at home and still worried about work, so he took a photo and sent it to Mr. Meng and made a small report.

Later, Ma Teng was beaten!

Old man Qiao blew his beard and glared, saying something, "Ma Teng thief, he knows how to make small reports all day long, and in ancient times, he must have been a great eunuch who brought disaster to the country and the people", picked up a wooden stick and drove Ma Teng ten streets......

If Meng Lang hadn't stepped forward and saved the poor Ma Teng, he would have been beaten half to death by the old man.

This photo touched countless netizens.

Many of them met Old Man Qiao for the first time. After all, Mr. Qiao belongs to behind-the-scenes workers, and the audience is more familiar with actors or directors.

But this did not prevent them from grieving the death of Old Man Qiao.

Ultraman is a great series!

Old Man Joe, who contributed to the birth of this series, although he is not as glamorous as an actor, he also deserves to be respected.

"On the first day of school, when I received the news, I instantly cried......"

"Grandpa Qiao goes all the way!"

"If there really is a giant of light, I believe that Grandpa Qiao has already gone to the country of light under the guidance of the giant at this moment!"

"This is the first time I know, the original miniatures are all handmade, I always thought that those were real buildings, Grandpa Qiao's craftsmanship is superb, I am reluctant to let you leave!"

It's not just domestic netizens.

With the spread of the news, after many foreign media forwarded the report, more and more foreign friends also mourned Mr. Qiao on social media.

has blown up a lot of celebrities.

In the political world, the business world, the entertainment industry, the media world and the sports world, many people who seem to have nothing to do with Mr. Qiao have all exploded.

It was also at this time that everyone realized.

It turns out that the influence of the IP of "Ultraman" has reached such an exaggerated level. Not only children like to watch it, but even so many celebrities and bigwigs like to watch it.

World-class IP, worthy of the name!

Old Man Qiao's funeral is scheduled to be held in his hometown a week later.

The reason why it is the hometown and not the Jiangchuan where the old man Qiao settled is that the old man said before his death that he must "return to the roots" after death.

Meng Lang has already set the itinerary.

He will take Tao Mi, Ma Teng, Chen Huan and others to the old man's hometown to attend the funeral. At the same time, Wang Fei, Yao Bin, Tao Zhao, Wang Dali and Ye Ziyan, who received the news, will also attend the funeral.

It's not just Ultraman human beings.

Many actors who have participated in Ultraman, perhaps just playing a trick and playing one or two supporting roles, will also attend the funeral.

Different from He Yifan!

He Yifan's funeral, the reason why no one attended, was because he was extremely popular in the circle, and he offended Jiangchuan Xiaobawang.

And Old Man Qiao is different, he is very popular in the circle and takes good care of every junior. Coupled with the background of PD, the scale of funeral guests must be much stronger than He Yifan.

After Qiao Lao's death, the atmosphere in the company was extremely depressing, and everyone was immersed in grief.

In order to get everyone out of their grief and get strong again, Meng Lang gave a task to the content production department:

Make a giant monster movie with no heroes!

"No giant heroes?"

Ma Teng was puzzled: "Then who can stop the attack of the huge monster?"

"Humanity itself, of course!"

Meng Lang glanced at Ma Teng and explained to him, "Do you know what I thought when Ultraman didn't design a giant hero at the beginning of the project?"

"The earth is the earth of mankind, and to protect this planet, we must rely on our own human strength. Wouldn't we be able to fight monsters without Ultraman?"

These words moved Ma Teng.

He nodded and said, "Mr. Meng, I understand what you mean." I'll try to do it well, don't worry!"

"Hmm!"

Meng Lang said while signing the document: "Remember to give the protagonist in the play, set as a construction engineer surnamed Qiao." As for the monsters, let's call them Godzilla!"

"Godzilla?"

Ma Teng read it a few times, and said thoughtfully: "Does this name have anything to do with Gorzan?"

"It's a little bit ......"

Meng Lang shook his head and said, "You can understand that the shape is similar, but it is very different. The image of Godzilla can refer to the evil beasts in Chinese mythology, as well as the winged beasts abroad. ”

"Anyway, it's a terrible monster!"
