Chapter 705: New Edition of Golden Armor Warrior
The discussion set off by the thunder puppet has not stopped, and the day after the restructuring, Big Bird Satellite TV broadcast a new heavyweight drama.
"Golden Armor Warrior"!
Although it has the title of the third work of the "Warrior Series", the setting idea of the Golden Armor Warrior comes from Meng Lang. Except that the director is Li Xinglong, it is not directly related to the previous work.
And......
This Golden Armor Warrior, except for the same plot in some settings, has little to do with Zhang Wei's original "Golden Armor Warrior".
The original Golden Armor Warrior is too inferior!
The holster is ugly and the special effects scum is forgotten, but the heroine Arctic Snow is quite beautiful, and she can look down by gritting her teeth.
The plot doesn't matter......
Although it is a little naïve and simple, it is an original plot after all, and it deserves encouragement.
But this transformer, Meng Lang can't bear it!
It is said to be a "belt", but in fact it is an "energy box"! The design is not careful, and there is no beauty that a transformer should have. And the name is also very confusing, directly called "energy control belt".
How can there be such a thing?
Filming tokusatsu dramas, especially tokusatsu dramas with "transformation" elements, if you don't do a good job in the toy design of the transformer, then what do you rely on to make money?
It's better to make a sci-fi movie!
The simple and spicy chicken of the transformer is definitely the biggest failure of the original Golden Armor Warrior. To what extent did it fail? Even domestic pirates are not willing to make this toy, how much failure do you say?
Therefore, Meng Lang abandoned the original version.
With the help of PD designers, Li Xinglong redesigned the "energy belt". The original square iron box was changed to the appearance of an "eye of the universe".
This design is a bit like the eyes on the Yu-Gi-Oh "Millennium Artifact". However, the edges and corners are sharper, and the pattern is more delicate and delicate.
The transformer has changed, and so have its movements.
The original transformation action is roughly to take out the "iron box" and buckle it to the waist, shouting "energy start......
The new version has a different routine!
This belt is like the belt of "Yusuke Goshiro". Lurking in the body, it is usually invisible or touched, and only appears when transforming.
When Shao Zhongtian transformed, he first stroked the "navel" position with his right hand, so that the "closed eyes" belt appeared. Then he gestured out of the fighting hand and shouted "Transform!"
After shouting the transformation, the "closed eyes" belt entered the "open eyes" state, the cosmic energy was infused into the body, the golden light was discreet, and the armor gradually covered the whole body.
It's so much more comfortable!
In addition to modifying the transformer, the new version of the Golden Armor Warrior also performed "plastic surgery" on the holster.
Although the original leather case also has a golden texture, the main body of the leather case is still "red and silver", which does not reflect the characteristics of "gold armor" at all.
This is the pot of the production team!
At the beginning, the object of imitation and reference of the Golden Armor Warrior was "Ultraman". However, the investor is reluctant to engage in miniatures, so he can only shoot as a full-body warrior.
Red and silver are one of the most classic skin tones of Ultraman leather cases.
Poor parody ......
Named Golden Armor, the holster is an extremely ugly red and silver superman. The original did a really poor job in this regard.
Meng Lang didn't want to complain.
In terms of quality alone, the armored warriors simply threw off the golden armored warriors ten streets. If it weren't for Zhang Wei's personal influence, how could this drama be so well-known?
That's why he didn't want to shoot.
There are too many shortcomings of the Golden Armor Warriors, and if they are revised one by one, they will definitely waste a lot of time. And after the modification, it may not be loved by the audience.
Fortunately, there is a Li Xinglong to take over!
Meng Lang has a large number of high-quality IPs in his hands and doesn't want to waste time polishing the golden armor warriors. And Li Xinglong didn't have so many options, so he could only patiently polish the golden armor warriors, even if it took a little more time.
Learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses for mutual benefit!
Meng Lang didn't want to shoot himself, but he was definitely willing to invest money to shoot others.
Don't look at him listing a lot of shortcomings and shortcomings of the gold-armored warriors, but in fact, the gold-armored warriors are still quite good.
It's all up to your peers!
Domestic special effects dramas, except for Aofei, who has the ability to make high-quality products, other producers have one and one count, and all of them are worse!
In this environment of "comparing each other's inferiority", although the golden armor warriors have such and such shortcomings, they still achieve good results.
Reputedly......
The producers still want to shoot a second season!
However, the news of the "second season" has been spread for more than ten years and there is no follow-up, so it is estimated that it is cold.
"Golden Armor Warrior" is a work from 08, at the same time as the first work of the armored warrior. In terms of ratings performance, although it is inferior to the armored warriors, it is not bad overall.
The main thing is that the actors are well chosen!
Not to mention the legal pioneer, the other members of the team are actually quite good.
The Arctic snow is responsible for her appearance, and she is a black and straight goddess. Simi Lu is gentle and intellectual, Dongfang Ming is careless and reckless, Dongfang Zhuzhu is eccentric, and Sinan is a genius computer boy......
This team combination is definitely a copy of the "Ultra Team".
Ultraman can be popular, proving that this team is no problem. It is indeed a wise move to draw on imitation in this regard.
The theme song "Faith" is also very good!
Every kid has a different reason for liking the Golden Armor Warrior. Some people like Arctic snow, and some people like the cute pet Yumamon...... But there is one thing that can be agreed upon.
The opening song is good!
"The distant universe shimmers with mysterious light, and the vast starry sky contains unknown powers. Brave partners, hand in hand to the battlefield, with firm faith to guide the direction......"
Meng Lang still remembers that when "Golden Armor Warrior" was on the air, there were many people around him who had seen the Golden Armor Warrior, but there were even more people who could sing this song!
Typical songs are more popular than dramas!
At that time, the xx apartment had not started filming yet, and the new pig Gege had not started filming, and the actor of this drama did not have so many bizarre titles.
Everyone pays attention to the Golden Armor Warriors, and the credit for the opening song is not small.
But then that changed!
Because of the explosion of the xx apartment, the audience who likes Zhang Wei is curious to search for the works he has played, and stumbled upon the golden armor warrior, and "Song is more popular than drama" has gradually become "male protagonist is more popular than drama".
There is a sad fact!
Taking major video websites as an example, most of the playback volume of the Golden Armor Warrior is brought by the male protagonist, and only a few are nostalgic parties that "reminisce about childhood......
It's terrible!
Thankfully, this doesn't happen with the new version.
The actor chosen by Li Xinglong is very famous in his own right. Viewers who often watch TV basically know this face, and there is no possibility of "becoming popular after many years".
But the actor of Arctic Snow is a newcomer!
This girl graduated from Zhonghai Drama Academy and has an extraordinary appearance, and "Golden Armor Warrior" is her screen debut.
Maybe!
Many years later, this girl came across a hit work and became popular overnight. Fans dug up her resume of starring in "Golden Armor Warrior" to tease her?
This kind of thing, let it be.
If it happens, that's a good thing. If it doesn't happen, there's no need to be disappointed. After all, the starring actor became popular after many years, but it is impossible to meet it!
