"I must admit that attempts to mechanically transform people did not turn out well. The ratings of this work are not good, and I have an unshirkable responsibility. ”

During the remote video conference, Shi Sen, who had heavy dark circles under his eyes, got up and bowed deeply to the camera.

It can be seen that he blames himself.

Compared to the ratings of "Kamen Rider X" and "Mirror Superman", it is definitely an excellent result. Once the reference becomes the previous V3, it will be a failure.

The ratings were poor, and the sales of related derivatives were not satisfactory.

"The belt lacks novelty!"

This is the real feedback given by the market, the main derivative of the Kamen Rider series, that is, the knight belt. The design has no bright spots, which greatly discourages consumers' desire to buy.

Luckily, the SIC series was created!

The SIC series of model toys saved the X-Rider and the annual financial results of the PD Neon Division.

As the saying goes, eat a trench and grow a wisdom!

The loss of Kamen Rider X made Ishimori begin to reflect on the future direction of the Kamen Rider series. Is it to dig deep into the potential of "mechanical transformation of people", or to seek breakthroughs in other directions?

"The new knight needs to correct his mistakes, move closer to the first game, and return to the original appearance of Kamen Rider. A heterogeneous life-like hero drama full of mysteries and strange elements. ”

"Back to square one?"

With the end of Shi Sen's speech, the executives had an in-depth discussion and exchange around this proposal.

There was support for this approach.

There are also objections that the V3 mode is the future of Kamen Rider, and that returning to the original point is tantamount to "self-defeat".

The central figure of the opposition came as a surprise to everyone. Because this person is not Mr. Meng and Mr. Ma, but Bai Cang.

What is this?

After all, Bai Cang is also a disciple of Shi Sen, and he was even designated by President Meng as the second generation of Kamen Rider. The crown prince opposes the emperor's arrangement, is this forcing the palace?

Emperor Meng was expressionless.

As a party concerned, Shi Sen didn't see much anger on his face. I saw him nod slightly, and then explained: "From V3 to X, in order to pursue the coolness of the form, the idea of the work has deviated too much from the first work. ”

"It's not just that we need a knight who goes back to square one, but the audience needs it too. I hope you understand this. ”

Bai Cang can't understand it for the time being!

But Meng Lang, as a bystander, can understand the meaning of Shi Sen's words. After all, Reiwa's first rider is also a locust!

It is useless for the prince to oppose it!

Amazon's plan has been approved by Mr. Meng, and it is no problem to pass the internal approval.

Ishimori also showed off the design of the new knight, including a more detailed original setting.

There is one thing to say!

Amazon looks very abstract......

His original prototype was originally a mythical and legendary dragon, that is, a dragon knight. In the end, after a few drafts, it became a monitor lizard!

Compared with the previous works, the holster design is more like the villain "monitor lizard monster", and the characteristics of the knight are not visible.

Even if the shape is weird, the setting is also very weird.

Growing up in the depths of the Amazon, he is physically fit but has never learned a human language, like a beast.

After the left arm was transplanted by the elder, the mysterious wrist chakra possessed incomparably powerful power. Because of the elder's instructions before his death, he left the Amazon and went to Jiangchuan to find someone.

"The story is fascinating!"

Not to mention anything else, a wild man who does not understand human language and writing, and going to the human world alone to adventure is very interesting in itself.

Not to mention, this wild man can also transform into Kamen Rider......

Amazon's way of fighting is also a highlight. As a savage, the battle is dominated by biting, full of primitive wild ferocity.

Very special knight!

As a Showa moe, Amazon's ratings are not high, and derivatives don't sell very well. can be influential and the audience's reputation, but it is the top work in the Showa Knights.

The reasons are complicated!

On the one hand, it is because Amazon has left a deep impression on the audience, and on the other hand, it may also be related to the tragic experience of Amazon.

It's only two seasons and 24 episodes!

There are many knights who have been cut in half, and the reason why Amazon is a pity is that in addition to his "shortest", there is also a reason for his high quality.

Amazon's slash has nothing to do with ratings or audience feedback. Purely forced by the situation, Toei had to finish this work.

What a pity!

The tragedy of the original version will not be staged in Pengda. The newborn Amazon will never end with 24 episodes.

At least 50 episodes!

According to the standard of weekly dramas, it just happens to be broadcast for a whole year. At the same time next year, a new rider will take over the schedule.

Kamen Rider, never end!

After Amazon's plan was approved, Ishimori also said very vaguely that he was ready to leave.

Presumably the year after then?

That is, around 2020, he will say goodbye to the Kamen Rider production team and work on the work he loves. It could be a cartoonist, or it could be a photographer......

Meng Lang was not surprised.

From the alienated girl to the current Amazon, and even the stronger who finishes it. Ishimori has complained many times that he is overwhelmed by the pressure of work.

He didn't want to do it for a long time!

After all, this guy's job is a cartoonist, and the reason why he got involved in this circle is mainly because he can't get used to other directors blindly changing his works.

It's good to get together and disperse!

Meng Lang agreed to him, and the strongman will be Shi Sen's farewell work, and after the end, Hakura will take over the Kamen Rider series.

That would be a new starting point!

After the meeting, Prince Shirakura went to Neon to prepare for the theatrical version, and His Majesty Ishimori continued to polish the Amazon. And the Emperor Meng Tsai is addicted to boxing all day long......

The training is almost over!

After two months of training, in addition to eating and sleeping, they were practicing boxing, and the actors' progress was rapid.

Xingyi boxing first glimpsed the doorway, although the foundation is still shallow, the boxing method is not useful, but it is not a big problem to bluff people!

The key is......

Eight-pack abs per capita!

can make Meng Zai greedy!

Touching his little belly, Meng Lang suddenly became interested, and got up early and practiced boxing with the actors.

Unfortunately, the effect is extremely poor!

People practice boxing to train abdominal muscles, and Meng Zai practices boxing in addition to long flesh or long meat.

In the face of doubts, he always smiled and said: "Martial arts practice consumes a lot, and you need to replenish more meat!

It makes sense!

Practicing boxing is just to find an excuse for gluttony, anyway, the crew has stopped working, so I have to find something to do for myself.

At the beginning of November, the training ended!

The leather suit actors and the five protagonists returned to the crew of the armored warriors one after another and began to shoot the most exciting fight scenes.

At the same time, the metal hero Gaban has also set off a ratings boom in China. The secret of the sky-high leather case was also revealed in subsequent episodes.

In the seventh episode, a theft occurred in a jewelry store in Jiangchuan, and the police had no clues. Gaban uses the technology of the Galactic Federation to find the criminals.

It turned out that the high-IQ criminal used a special ratio of thermite, which used the ultra-high temperature to destroy the safe of the jewelry store.

In the face of Gaban's pursuit, the criminals used thermite to attack, and as a result, the heat fused the steel beam, but did not cause the slightest damage to Gaban.

It's amazing!
