The investigation team was killed, and the mysterious belt caught the attention of the Metropolitan Police Department.

At this moment, a spider monster falling from the sky attacked the police, muttering the strange word "kuuga" in its mouth......

And the persecution of spiders?

Seeing the first monster, Meng Lang's expression was very flat, as if all this was expected by him. After all, the spider sacrifices to the sky and the bat sacrifices to the ground, and Kamen Rider is an old tradition.

What really surprised him was that the demo seemed to be incomplete, missing one of the most crucial fight scenes.

"I really didn't finish filming......"

Bai Cang awkwardly explained: "We need a helicopter to assist in the back, and there are some special effects shots, and we are very tight on budget, so we can't complete it." ”

Lack of funding?

Hearing this, the committee members looked at Bai Cang with stiff expressions. And Meng Lang's eyes narrowed, as if he smelled a danger signal.

If he remembered correctly, the funds allocated by the production committee to Hakura for the production of samples amounted to 30 million yen, equivalent to nearly 2 million yuan.

It's only one episode of sample film!

With so much money, you can make a low-budget and inferior movie by tightening your belt, and you can burn out after making a sample episode?

The point is, the dailies haven't been shot yet?

Are you still an individual?

Bai Cang smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to answer.

He also knows that this cost is indeed higher than that of previous generations of works, and it is more than a little higher.

However, he does not regret it!

Burning more money will produce better results, so why not burn it? There is a good saying -- what can be solved with money, it doesn't matter......

"What do you think?"

Meng Lang rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Do you have anything to say about this budget cost and the finished effect?"

"Meng Sang, I think it's too expensive!"

Mr. Hikiya, from the ANB Content Center, said with an ugly face, "According to the planned route, I am expected to produce 50 episodes. If the cost of producing a single episode is not controlled, we are too risky. ”

"Makes sense......"

President Ono of PD Neon nodded and said, "But I think that Sora I, as an innovative knight work, will have high commercial value in the future." There is a saying in the investment world that high risk means high return!"

"Let's say that the production cost of a single episode of the empty self is 2 million yuan, and the fifty episodes are only 100 million yuan!

"The ......"

"Let me interrupt!"

The marginalized Bai Cang weakly added: "According to my estimates, the cost of a single integration is likely to rise to 5 million!"

Everyone: "......"

You can do it, it's doubled in one fell swoop!

Meng Lang said with a headache: "Five million is impossible, we can't take such a big risk. According to the sample film you provided, I can provide a budget of 3 million yuan for a single episode, are you sure that you can shoot it well?"

"I ...... I can!"

Although the budget has been cut, the negotiation has always been full of asking for money to be repaid, and Bai Cang's psychological expectation is exactly three million.

"Then please!"

Mr. Meng nodded, what else did the others dare to say? Even Mr. Bi Qigu, the representative of ANB, accepted this production budget.

At this point, the empty self has been approved.

A single episode is 45 million yen, which is equivalent to the production cost of about 3 million yuan. PD Neon owns 50% of the shares, and PD Group and ANB each own 25% of the shares, sharing the risk.

The first episode of the empty self is incomplete, the key fight scenes have not been filmed yet, and the opening and soundtrack have not been completed, so I can't pick up the file this week.

According to ANB's arrangement, this week and next week's evening Muyao Theater will broadcast a hero exploration program of "Fighting for the Smile of Protection", which can be regarded as a warm-up for the empty self in advance.

After the two episodes of this special show, Sora is ready to start his weekly broadcast journey on the first Muyao Day in February.

There is still more than half a month left!

In the past half a month, Meng Lang plans to talk to Director Tao and ask him if he has any ideas to open a second "Youth Weekly Theater" on Sunday night from 19:35 to 20:05.

Surprisingly, before he could contact Director Tao, Director Tao took the initiative to find him.

What is it called?

Lang has the intention of having a concubine, dry firewood meets fire, Jin Lian meets Ximen, the two are happy, and they have a good heart......

In short, Director Tao is very proactive.

In his plan, there was more than one weekly theater.

Super Sentai on Saturday night, Kamen Rider on Sunday night, and Ultraman on Friday night, it's perfect!

"It's not a big problem with the empty self, after all, the Kamen Rider series has developed for many years and has accumulated a large number of fans. What I'm most worried about is the superelectronic cyborg ......," Meng Lang said worriedly.

"Don't worry!"

Director Tao smiled and said, "The team series has me staring at it, and nothing will happen." Did you watch last night's premiere? I think it's pretty reliable. ”

Already on the air?

In the past few days, Meng Lang has been busy with my business, and Meng Lang has not paid much attention to the PD North American branch. If Director Tao hadn't mentioned it, he would have really forgotten that "Superelectronic Biochemical Man" premiered last night.

"How's the ratings?"

"It's okay!"

"The ratings of the premiere of the previous game Electronic Warfare Team Electromagnetic Man are one percentage point lower, but the audience praise rate has increased, and it will usher in an explosion next week. ”

"As I expected......"

Meng Lang nodded.

Although "Superelectronic Cyborg" is not well-known in China, it is very popular in neon and Europe and the United States, and it can be described as one of the best works of the team.

It's Bian, after all!

Now that the superelectronic cyborg has been broadcast in North America, the domestic premiere is not far away. Estimating the date, Meng Lang said thoughtfully: "The Sun Warrior of Haitian should be broadcast in the near future, right?"

"That's right, it's going to be broadcast the day after tomorrow!"

Director Tao smiled reluctantly and said, "I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to bump into them." ”

"Leave him alone!"

Meng Lang sneered and said: "Li Xinglong has a few catties and taels, I know in my heart, the sun warrior has no effect on the superelectronic cyborg!"

After all, one is a weekly drama and the other is a daily drama, which cannot be compared.

What's more, what level is Li Xinglong?

The Sun Warrior's plan is really good, at least a little stronger than the transformation warrior Aaron. But does Li Xinglong have the ability to restore the effect of the business case?

If he had this ability, he would not have been disliked by Meng Zai at the beginning, and he would have gone to Haitian in disgrace.

In Meng Lang's view, Li Xinglong is more suitable to be a screenwriter. His ability to make up stories is obviously stronger than his ability to film, a typical partial student.

It's not terrible, it's the honey self-confidence that is terrible.

Obviously not suitable to be a director, but he was full of confidence in himself and had a powerful mouth, which persuaded Haitian management to invest in his project.

This kind of person......

It is generally called "the undercover agent sent by a friend"!

Until now, Meng Lang still couldn't figure it out. Why did Haitian's senior management take a fancy to this product? Do they think their market value is too high, and hope to go out of business sooner?

No one really believes the rumors that Li Xinglong is "Little Meng Lang", right?

Wouldn't it?
