Chapter 921 - Full Score on the Ground!
There is one thing that media workers like to do, and that is to break the casserole and ask the question!
After their visit and investigation, supplemented by reasonable speculation, the truth of this bizarre case finally came to light.
It's really a bear kid who did it!
At the time of the hit of "Kamen Rider 555", the Faiz drive set held by Qianqiao and Makoto Sonoda became the most wanted toy for children.
It's a pity, it's too expensive!
The drive is not an ordinary toy, and the price of PD Home and PD Mall is as high as hundreds of yuan, which obviously dissuades many parents.
Parents don't buy it, and in addition to being sad and lost, the children have also found another substitute - grandparents' mobile phones!
Why the old man's mobile phone?
The answer is simple!
Now is the era of smart phones, except for the elderly who don't know how to operate the touch screen and can't make full-screen gestures, who still uses a mobile phone with "buttons"?
The kids don't have a choice!
Most of the mobile phones that grandparents still use are feature phones that claim to be "Xx standby kings", not only with physical buttons, but also with "flip covers".
It's a lot like the Faiz phone!
Most of the older generation dotes on their grandchildren, and when they learn that their grandchildren want to play with their mobile phones, they will naturally play with them, and then the keys will fail......
Old people don't look at Kamen Rider, and they don't know about the "555" that has recently become popular in half the sky.
This also led to the fact that after they found that the mobile phone buttons failed, they did not blame their grandson, but thought it was the problem of the mobile phone itself.
After reading the news reports, they finally knew why.
They weren't angry, though.
It's just a mobile phone, and if it's broken, it's broken. Feature phones aren't worth much now, and they're not as expensive as their grandson's Transformers, so they won't be furious.
They're just curious.
Who is Kamen Rider Faiz and why does Sun Tzu press the number "555" wildly?
Didn't I buy that 555 toy for my grandson, so he wouldn't be desperately tossing my phone?
Don't talk about it!
With this in mind, the PD home received a lot of elderly people in the past two days, and they asked to buy "555" toys by name from the beginning of entering the store.
They think very simply.
Didn't the little ancestor of the family want to play? Then buy one for him! Save yourself from tossing around all day long. Not only people suffer, but also mobile phones.
As for the dissuasion of sons and daughters-in-law/daughters-in-law, in the eyes of the elderly, it is completely "reluctant to spend money".
"Mom and Dad......"
"Well, needless to say, I have a pension, and you don't have to spend it. ”
"Thank you, grandparents!"
"Silly boy, what are you polite to your grandparents, tell me, what color do you want? Let's buy it tomorrow!"
Similar dialogues frequently appear in the streets of communities in various provinces and cities.
Thanks to this, Kamen Rider Faiz Drive Set finally opened up sales in China, and its popularity and sales skyrocketed, and Lede Meng Tsai didn't go home for two days......
Of course!
It's a joke!
Meng Lang really didn't go home for two days, not because of this incident, but because he was sick and hospitalized.
The long-term hard work, especially the hard work of shooting on location, has accumulated a "professional disease" for him. The most obvious parts are the cervical spine and gastrointestinal tract.
Meng Lang had something wrong with his stomach.
It was originally a trivial matter, just take some medicine to recuperate for a few days. However, he had unbearable abdominal pain in the company's gastroenteritis attack, and was photographed by passers-by when Ma Teng carried him to the hospital.
Time......
[Meng Lang is terminally ill and may die soon!]
[The saint is critically ill, the prince is young, and there is a huge Pengda Empire, who can turn the tide and help the building to fall?]
[If the black pig rescue fails, how much inheritance can Mimi get? A well-known lawyer said that Mimi may become the first richest woman in China!]
Boy!
He has gastroenteritis, and netizens can't wait to divide the inheritance for him?
Meng Lang was almost angry.
These undisciplined netizens finally seized an opportunity, which was even more hilarious than the New Year, and even gave him a "critical illness notice".
Everyone in the family was terrified!
When they saw the rumors on the Internet, they really thought that something big had happened to Meng Lang, so they hurried to the hospital, only to know that it was a false alarm.
Still, they are worried.
Although the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with the pig except for the thinning, at Tao Mi's insistence, Meng Lang stayed in the hospital for two days for observation.
In the past two days, Gaia has completed the optimization of the movements and special effects of the "Combo Technique".
The final film was sent to Big Bird Satellite TV, and a recent evening broadcast was arranged, with a premiere date of April 11.
It happened to be the day Meng Lang was discharged from the hospital!
After filming "The Mystery of the Musical Notes of Balala Little Demon Fairy", Tao Mi had no official job. Every day, in addition to taking care of children, is to study new scripts.
Meng Lang, who went home to recuperate, lay comfortably on the sofa, waiting for "Ultraman Gaia" to start broadcasting, while examining the results of Tao Mi's drumming.
She has a soft spot for "Girl Tokusatsu"!
So the script she came up with is still old-fashioned and traditional "magic + girl" theme, and the setting is nothing new at all.
"A piece of!"
Meng Lang casually threw away the script, picked up the apple and took a bite and said: "If this kind of drama is filmed, it will definitely be sprayed by the audience very badly!"
"I think it's good......"
Tao Mi frowned and said: "I showed it to Ma Teng, and even he said that my script was a trick, and it was definitely a big hit!"
Nonsense!
Who is Marten?
People give the nickname "sycophant"!
Even if Tao Mi showed him the essay of a primary school student, he could boast of a flower, and this kind of rainbow fart had no reference value.
Girl's special effects,It's not that you can't do it!
But it is necessary to come up with new ideas in order to attract those little girls with "picky tastes" and little boys with "unique tastes".
The old-fashioned theme of "horse monkey shochu"!
According to the story and setting of the pixel-level imitation of "Balala Little Demon Fairy......
Five or six years ago, this kind of drama could still be popular! But looking at it now, Meng Lang's comment on "a piece of" is absolutely pertinent!
"What do you mean......"
"Can't shoot!"
Although he is his wife, Meng Lang still said officially: "Our family does have money, but no matter how rich we are, we can't invest forty or fifty million in this kind of script, right?"
"I see!"
The carefully prepared script was rejected, and Tao Mi looked a little lost.
It can be seen that she is not very willing to be a "housewife". This script has also been polished for a long time, and it is indeed her painstaking work.
However, in business!
If Tao Mi was just patting and playing, tens of millions of dollars would pass the time, and Meng Lang would not blink his eyes.
But since she is rushing to make money, she can't shoot this script, because it's worthless!
Tao Mi was devastated and was not in a very good mood.
However, when the commercial ended and the first episode of "Ultraman Gaia" aired, she still watched it intently.
"Eh, this opening ......"
Seeing the familiar rotating font, Tao Mi was quite surprised: "Why do you use this title?"
The opening of "Ultraman Gaia" uses the same picture as the original, that is, a strange oil painting that keeps rotating, and finally rotates the word "Ultraman".
The difference is......
The opening of the original Ultraman has a blue-yellow background and orange font. And this time, Gaia changed to a red font on a yellow background.
This opening is in the spotlight.
Because the early Ultraman itself has a "horror movie" quality.
This "colorful" opening, combined with eerie music, creates an atmosphere of oppressive horror. So later, after Ultraman moved towards "young age", he canceled the title.
I didn't expect Gaia to use it again!
"This is also a kind of tribute, after all, this year is the tenth anniversary of Ultraman!" Meng Lang said with a smile.
This is a reasonable explanation!
Tao Mi nodded, believing Meng Lang's explanation. But she still has a question, how did this title come about?
When the first Ultraman was filmed, she left the crew after the scene was completed, and she never watched the post-production at all.
Later, when she dated Meng Lang, the Ultraman series had abandoned this classic "rotating oil painting" title, and it was even more impossible for her to know.
"It's not a special effect!"
Meng Lang explains: "After we painted the words with real paint, we stirred them into two circles from the left and right sides, and then put them upside down......
No one believes it!
During the whole process, there are no traces of special effects processing, and it is completely real-life.
The effect that the viewer sees is just the process of reversing the image after an oil painting with the word "Ultraman" written on it is disturbed.
This is Eiji Tsuburaya's masterpiece!
In that long ago, computers were still in the stage of "integrated circuit digital machines", and digital special effects were impossible to talk about.
Using rudimentary equipment and genius thoughts and ideas, Eiji Tsuburaya accomplished an impossible task - photographing aliens in the 60s of the last century!
The god of tokusatsu is well deserved!
The more he got to know Eiji Tsuburaya, the more Meng Lang admired this person's brain. Sometimes even he believes that Eiji Tsuburaya is an "alien".
How else can you explain it?
Ahem, it's far away!
It doesn't matter if Eisji Tsuburaya is an alien or not, Gaia's opening is indeed a "tribute to the classics".
After Tigadena's successive successes, Tsuburaya's self-confidence in the "Gaia period" was simply bursting. Each and every one of them believed that Tsuburaya would be back to the top of the 60s/70s!
That's why Gaia is so good!
But then again, due to the changes of the times, Gaia still has a lot of problems.
Like the first episode!
In the original Gaia, I dream that my friends and I are members of the Alchemy Star. With the special status of the Alchemy Star, their laboratory was so rudimentary?
That's right, it's rudimentary!
In Meng Lang's opinion, Tsuburaya and his gang have never been in contact with the "serious laboratory" at all. Find a random classroom and get a few props to disguise it as a "quantum physics laboratory".
What's that......
You said that Tsuburaya didn't have money, they still had money during the Gaia period, and it should be possible to rent a laboratory to shoot a few scenes.
It's just this one!
The children couldn't understand it, and they felt that the sign of "Quantum Physics Laboratory" was hanging at the door, which was so cheating and cheating!
But adults can see that it is really a black line, and they are speechless for Tsuburaya's clumsy "set".
There is one more problem.
In addition to the protagonist, the partners who cooperate with the research do not have the demeanor and temperament of "scientific research workers" at all.
Temperament is something that can't be described!
Anyway, the first time you see this person, you can see that he is acting, and you can't have a sense of substitution, which is a very failed casting.
Of course!
This kind of picking, a bit of a "bone in the egg" feeling.
For a children's special effects drama like Gaia, some details don't need to be serious, and they are always rigorous, which will be very boring.
Anyway, don't say anything else!
In order to shoot the campus scene of "Ultraman Gaia", Meng Lang contacted Jiangchuan University and borrowed a laboratory from the Institute of Physics.
Some of the "scientific research dogs" also got the opportunity to play soy sauce.
In order to create the "genius" temperament of the two protagonists, he also asked the actor to follow a student bully from Jiang University and study seriously for several weeks.
Just talking about the sense of substitution and realism, the PD version of Gaia does a little better than the original.
Of course, it's all trifles.
The biggest attraction of Ultraman is not the sense of substitution and realism, the audience's favorite is always "Bump Man Fights Little Monsters".
After encountering Ultraman during the experiment, the sky suddenly changed, and a monster was sent to the wormhole to wreak havoc.
Unable to bear the destruction of the earth, Takayama Dream saw the Giant of Light again, and he passed the test and became the "Five-Way Drag Raman GAY"!
"This ...... This is?!"
In the past, Ultraman appeared on the ground, and all of them fell smoothly to the ground, but Gaia, who was forced to hit the ground, splashed dust.
The scene was shocking!
"Why is it dusty?"
"Because he is the light of the earth!"
Smiling, Meng Lang explained, "Okay, no kidding. The reason why it is done is only to be more realistic and reasonable. ”
Ultraman, who weighs tens of thousands of tons at every turn, falls from a height and doesn't smash out a little dust, how can it be?
It's just an experiment.
As I said before, Dyna has been complained about because of "lack of innovation". So Tsuburaya tried a lot of new things in Gaia that he had never had before.
"Landing" is one of them!
This landing method has won the love of the audience and has been widely used. Many of the later new Auli used this landing method.
Gaia's title of "Ultra Landing Judge" was also born!
Interesting......
This shocking scene of falling dust on the ground looks like it is "smashed", but it is actually "blown up"!
During the shooting, the staff buried small explosive bags in advance and waited for the actors in the holsters to move into place, which instantly detonated the dust.
It's dangerous!
Even if the stunt blaster who has followed Mr. Meng for many years and blew up the monster holsters that can fill an entire building, he does not dare to ensure 100% safety.
It's an explosion after all!
In case something goes wrong, a thin layer of holster can't protect the holster actor, and he has to be injured.
Luckily, nothing went wrong!
Through the switch of "long view + close view", and the all-round display of multiple cameras in the front and back, left and right, Gaia's landing this time amazed countless audiences.
Full marks! Must be full marks!
This Ultraman, who is full of "power", gives people an inexplicable sense of steadiness when he first appears.
It feels strong!
You can smash so much dust when you land, and if you hammer it down with one punch, I'm afraid that the monster will die on the spot, right?
