Chapter 825: Harvest Season
Tao Mi didn't know that when she was studying hard to be a director while carrying out "postpartum recovery", her husband had already set a trap.
Pit wife master!
If you know, Meng Lang doesn't want to go to bed tonight, and honestly kneel on the remote control all night.
It's March.
With the arrival of the school season, PD, which has been laid out for a long time, finally ushered in the harvest period. First of all, PD animation, "Yu-Gi-Oh" launched a new sequel, and "Pinball Legend" is about to premiere.
Then there is PD film and television.
"Robot Little Eight", directed by Yan Tao, adopts the "shooting and broadcasting" mode, and has landed on Big Bird Satellite TV for weekly broadcasting.
"Panda Man", starring Zhou Tianwang, also started the first round of broadcast on the local TV station in Formosa. It is expected that in mid-to-late March, it will be broadcast on Big Bird Satellite TV.
The critically acclaimed "Thunder Puppet", after the end of the first work, finally released the second work after a long silence.
This work inherits the world view and setting of the previous work, and even the story route is in the same vein, and it has been unanimously loved by the audience after it was broadcast, and it has received rave reviews.
"Ultraman Dinah" continues to be a hit.
Asuka's performance cannot be said to be particularly perfect, at least it met the audience's expectations. With the appearance of one monster after another, the plot seems to be on the right track.
"Metal Hero Gibang" has been launched.
As Meng Lang's first work in the new year, it is also the predecessor of the "Kabuda" robot, and PD's first work with "robots as the hero protagonist", and the progress is quite gratifying.
Not surprisingly, in mid-June, this drama will be able to meet the audience and friends.
The PD Neon division is not bad.
The star IP "Kamen Rider" series, the new work "Kamen Rider Dragoon" is coming to an end. Shinji's little angel and Ren have learned the reason why Kanzaki Shirou did all this.
They also want to save Uniq.
So, Ren and Shinji changed their initial mind. They want to live and become the ultimate winners, not only for themselves, but also for Uniq!
At this point, the story is nearing its end.
As early as last year, PD held a "Vote for the Ending" event. Based on the results of this vote, the final outcome becomes unquestionable.
Uniqo will give up life.
Shiro Kanzaki will eventually come to his senses and voluntarily abandon his long-standing plans. Shinji and Ren, and even all the knights, will return to the normal timeline and live an ordinary and ordinary life.
I'm still quite lucky.
As early as the beginning of the "Battle Royale" background announcement, when the knights died one after another, the audience never thought that the dragoon would end up in this way.
Although it is a bit of a "fairy tale", I have to say that this is what the audience wants.
Don't die anymore!
The knights have sacrificed enough, and if Ren and Shinji also die in the end, it will really be the sky falling.
The dragoon is finished, and the new preparation is made.
The whole world knows that the Kamen Rider series never ends. As soon as a drama ends, the new work will be taken over immediately, and the audience can keep chasing the drama.
Just as the dragoon ride was coming to an end, Shirakura was also preparing for "Ajito".
Meng Lang planned to talk to him about this matter.
PD Neon is developing well, and PD North America is not bad.
The cooperation with FOX is in full swing. In order to apologize, FOX was very sincere this time, and Gray got a production budget of $5 million for a single episode.
That's sky-high!
The single episode is $5 million, and the whole PD is a sensation. The production team had a week-long meeting just to discuss how to spend the money?
The end result is......
"Burn special effects, burn holsters, burn models!"
As long as the places that can burn money are full, we have big dogs to contribute, and there is no shortage of money! The style of deducting and searching is not suitable for Gray.
Meng Lang was envious of this.
To be honest, he has filmed so many Ultraman works, and the most extravagant one is Tiga's "billion" budget. But the billion budget was spent until the end of the day, and there were still more than 300 million left.
In other words, Tiga's production budget is only a little more than 600 million, in RMB.
And what about Gray?
$5 million for a single episode and $50 million for 10 episodes. According to Ultraman's standard 52 episodes, that is 260 million US dollars, which is equivalent to almost 1.8 billion yuan.
Compared to Tiga, it has tripled!
Such a tyrant crew, Meng Lang, who has been poor all his life, is envious, jealous and hateful in his heart.
So much money!
Even if it's an episode of blowing up a holster, the special effects are all pulled to the highest, and the miniature model is fried hard, it is estimated that there is still a leftover, is this Ultraman? This can be a Star Wars film, right?
Envy!
Looking at Gray, the special effects of the holster model were directly full, and then looked at the Dinah who he was tinkering with, because the holster was not enough, he also deliberately changed a few "Tiga Monster" holsters to whip the corpse......
Meng Lang was very congested.
"Ultraman Gray" is a collaborative project, and in addition to this work, PD North America plans to launch a new work in the "Super Sentai" series this year.
Tentatively titled "High-Speed Sentai Turbo Company", with the theme of "transportation", it is the first time that high school students are used......
Judging from the business plan sent by Kent, this new team is still quite interesting. The team with the theme of "transportation", based on this alone, the ratings should not be bad.
Compared with the North American branch of PD, which exudes the "light of local tyrants", the European branch of PD is much poorer.
Their project this year should be a sequel to Teletubbies.
In addition, the success of "Teletubbies" also gave them a hint of ambition. According to George, they plan to build on the original cast of Teletubbies and start another "baby" series.
The name is probably "Garden Baby"?
Macabaka?
Hmm, Sidisi?
Meng Lang likes this series a lot.
Compared with Teletubbies, Garden Babies are more suitable for audiences of different ages. To put it simply, garden babies are more interesting and can be seen by both adults and children.
Anyway, the investment is not high, shoot!
How much can these baby series burn? If you really become famous, you can make a lot of money just with plush dolls, and you won't lose money.
The major branches, including the headquarters of the PD Group, have all shown their housekeeping skills in the new year.
But......
Among these many projects, Meng Lang values "The Legend of Pinballs" the most.
No way, marbles are so much fun!
Although he was filming "Metal Hero Gibang", he didn't have time to go to PD animation to inspect. But through Wang Kui's report, he still grasped the latest developments of "The Legend of Pinballs".
It's going fast!
If Wang Kui is not mistaken, about the middle of this month, "The Legend of Pinballs", which has completed the dubbing work, will be broadcast on TV stations.
The propaganda work has already started.
Because the word "marble" has been registered as a trademark by PD. Therefore, there are no toys with the name "marble" on the market.
Publicity work, on the one hand, is to promote animation, increase animation exposure and ratings. On the other hand, it is to promote marbles and let more people know the charm of marbles.
A two-pronged approach!
