Pi Yang, reporter of Jiangchuan Metropolis Daily.

Every year at the PD Carnival, the newspaper will arrange for him to visit the site and write a high-quality report.

This year is no exception!

Unconsciously, the Pengda Carnival has been held for nine sessions, from the first session in 2014 to today's tenth.

He still remembers it well.

In 2014, when I participated in the first PD Carnival, the venue was located in the Jiangchuan International Convention and Exhibition Center. At that time, the PD company left a deep impression on him.

It's not how exciting the event is, or how lively the scene is......

In fact, the first PD carnival was very deserted, and there were almost no tourists from outside the scene except for media reporters and Jiangchuan citizens.

At that time, the tickets were not expensive, and Meng Heizhu personally led the staff to send free tickets to major institutions, schools, and hospitals in Jiangchuan, hoping that they would take time to take a look.

At that time, PD was still very young.

Although with the two popular works "Fire Boy King" and "Balala Little Demon Fairy", he has made a lot of money. But looking at the whole country, PD is undoubtedly a small workshop.

But at this time, PD Company resolutely rented the "Jiangchuan International Convention and Exhibition Center" and spent tens of millions of dollars to build the "Carnival Festival".

No one came to see it?

The boss took the staff to the battle in person and gave out free tickets to the big guys!

These actions made Pi Yang, who was still very young at the time, remember the PD company at once. He admired the courage of the people at the helm and boldly predicted that the "PD Carnival" would become a global event!

He guessed right!

Meng Heizhu dared to invest tens of millions of dollars to build a PD carnival in the "early stage of entrepreneurship" in poverty. This kind of courage has already doomed him to success.

The first edition became famous!

The 2nd and 3rd fame spread to the whole country, and the 4th and 5th fame spread to the world...... Until now, the 10th!

Pi Yang witnessed the PD carnival from "obscurity" to "global attention". As a native of Jiangchuan, he is deeply proud.

He has a piece of data.

This year's PD Carnival is expected to attract more than 5 million tourists to Gangcheon, 80% of whom are from overseas.

At home and abroad, the major live broadcast platforms combined, the audience watching the opening ceremony of this carnival is expected to exceed 40 million!

That's a pretty scary number!

Such a grand occasion is reminiscent of the opening ceremony of the "Olympic Games" and the "World Cup". The legendary "world-watching", that's probably it, right?

The PD Carnival is getting better and better!

But there is one thing that makes Pi Yang particularly moved. From the 1st to the 10th, tickets for the PD Carnival have been provided free of charge to Egawa Media.

Meng Heizhu is a "grateful" person!

He knows that the PD Carnival can have today's grand occasion, which is inseparable from the support of Jiangchuan media at the beginning.

So, no matter how tight the tickets are. He will set aside a part of it and distribute it to local media practitioners in Jiangchuan for free.

Journalists from other regions?

Sorry, please buy a ticket at your own expense!

Meng Heizhu is sensible, and Jiangchuan Media will not disappoint him. Every time I report on the PD Carnival, the editor-in-chief will give me an extra sentence: "A few more praises!"

Thinking of this, Pi Yang couldn't help but smile.

Jiangchuan has such a competitive company, as media workers, they are really happy!

"Old skin?"

Just as Pi Yang was in a daze, a familiar voice came from the side.

When he glanced back, he found that it was a good friend, Yang Ming, a self-media practitioner, who came in.

"Old Yang?"

After saying hello, Pi Yang took the initiative to ask, "When did you arrive?" Why don't you tell me, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"I just arrived in Jiangchuan last night!"

"I'm free of food, I haven't even found a place to stay now, but I'm so worried. ”

Yang Mingjin complained: "I'm a good girl! You don't know, now the hotels and guesthouses in the entire Jiangchuan are all full of people!"

"I arrived in Gangcheon last night, but I couldn't find a place to sleep, so I had to go to an Internet café to make do for the night. As a result, even the special Internet café was full......"

Hiss!

Pi Yang was shocked: "Really, is it so difficult to find a place to live?"

"Can I joke then?"

Yang Mingjin rolled his eyes and said, "I knew that this would be the case, so I would have booked a room a week in advance." It's good that I can't even find a place to sleep now!"

"Then come to my house, my house is quite big......"

"Done!"

Yang Mingjin was also polite, he really couldn't find a place to live. The whole Jiangchuan is "overcrowded" now, so you can't stay in the Internet café and KFC all the time, right?

What does it look like to be a blogger with tens of millions of fans who are nesting in an Internet café?

It is rare to meet good friends, and they just want to visit the PD carnival, Pi Yang and Yang Mingjin chose to team up.

"What's going on this year?"

"There are quite a lot of activities, but today there is only the opening ceremony and the exhibition. The opening ceremony is in the evening, so let's go to the exhibition area first, shall we?"

"You're a snake on the ground, listen to you!"

The two walked side by side, past the dense crowd, and entered the exhibition area of PD's major subsidiaries.

The first exhibition area that catches your eye is the "Baby Zone" set up by PD Europe.

Dressed in the suits of garden babies and Teletubbies, staff stood outside the exhibition area to solicit visitors, distribute flyers and promotional materials.

"There are quite a lot of people......"

Pi Yang was surprised, he didn't expect this exhibition area to be so popular.

To know!

Although the "Baby" series is popular all over the world, it is no less popular in Europe and the United States than Ultraman and Kamen Rider.

But in Huaxia, the popularity of Teletubbies and Garden Babies is not as good as Ultraman and Kamen Rider.

"If you look closely, it's all parents with children!"

Yang Mingjin explained: "I don't know much about Teletubbies, after all, I haven't seen it. But Garden Baby, as far as I know, has been rebroadcast 158 rounds on domestic TV ......"

"Wait...... Wait a minute!"

Pi Yang suspected that he had misheard, and said in disbelief: "What did you just say?

"158 rounds!"

Yang Mingjin was puzzled: "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

Of course there is a problem!

How long has the garden baby been introduced to Huaxia? It is only five or six months, just over 150 days......

It has been introduced into China for more than 100 days, and 158 rounds have been replayed? How is the number of replay rounds calculated, is it a replay of one round a day?

After learning of Pi Yang's doubts, Yang Mingjin said with a smile: "It is indeed 158 rounds, you heard it right." This data comes from the official website of PD Film and Television, you can check the announcements they issued. ”

"Many of the provincial children's channels, CCTV children's channels, county-level and municipal-level TV stations in China have broadcast garden babies. ”

"I know ...... this"

Pi Yang wondered: "But these TV stations combined, at most thirty or fifty rounds, more than a hundred rounds, is it an exaggeration?"

"No exaggeration!"

Yang Mingjin grinned and said, "In four or five months, a TV station rebroadcasts it four or five times, it's not a problem, right?"

"All the TV stations combined, is it enough for 158 rounds?"

Pi Yang: "......"

It seems to be true!

If this data is true, it will be a bit terrifying! In just half a year, 158 rounds of TV series have been replayed, who else can break this record?

"Ultraman", which was once brilliant and amazed an entire era. It is said that more than 100 rounds of reruns were made over the course of a year, and until now there are TV stations rebroadcasting them, which is regarded as a ratings myth by the industry.

For the same example, there are classics such as the 86 version of Journey to the West, Bright Sword, Huanzhu Gege and the Legend of the New White Lady.

Which of these film and television dramas is not a "household name"?

But what about the garden baby?

Pi Yang feels that most people have never watched this drama, let alone know what the name of the protagonist is.

Why does it replay so many rounds?

Who's watching, exactly?

With doubts, Pi Yang walked into the area under the leadership of Yang Mingjin.

There are a lot of kids in the exhibition area!

There are elementary school students, and there are junior high school students, but the number is not very large. The real main fan turned out to be a babbling preschooler?

Moreover, there are both boys and girls.

The plush dolls used for the exhibition, priced at 99 yuan each, were quickly sold out. The children who didn't buy it, hugged their parents and cried and made trouble, and the scene was extremely noisy.

"No wonder ......"

Shaking his head, Pi Yang figured it out. It turns out that this baby series, focusing on the preschool market, is no wonder it is not well-known in the outside world.

"Forget it, let's go to the next exhibit!"

After a brief interview with passers-by and the person in charge of the exhibition area, affected by the crying of this group of children, Pi Yang hurriedly pulled Yang Mingjin to the next exhibition area.

No way, it's too noisy!

A child crying is already a headache. If dozens and hundreds of children cry, the scene is simply "the sky is falling apart"!

The next section is from PD Animation.

Animation company, there are no big works this year. In the exhibition area, there are nothing more than the two pillar IPs of "Transformers" and "Yu-Gi-Oh".

What is more surprising is that there is a "marble competition" here?

The number of participants is quite large.

After taking a few photos, Pi Yang rushed to the third exhibition area satisfied.

PD Technology Zone!

As a subsidiary of PD Group, PD Technology, which can be called the "poorest subsidiary", has a good layout in the exhibition area, full of a sense of future technology.

Luo Tianyi's poster figures can be seen everywhere, as well as the actual demonstration of the third generation of Yu-Gi-Oh.

However, what Yang Mingjin and Pi Yang are most interested in is the "new virtual idol" plan revealed by the person in charge.

"Hatsune Miku?"

"It's interesting to hear the name! Unfortunately, the design hasn't been announced yet......

Never mind!

Although only one name was revealed, this is barely a revelation. Pi Yang thought about it and decided to add the revelation of "Hatsune Miku" to the report.

The next exhibit is PD comics......

In the morning, Yang Mingjin and Pi Yang's legs were weak, and they only visited seven or eight exhibition areas. The rest of the exhibition area can only be visited tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Because there will be a preview screening in the afternoon!

Produced by PD Film and Television, directed by Li Wanbo, and filmed in honor of Mr. Qiao, the monster disaster movie "Godzilla" will be held in the small theater of PD Park.

The so-called preview screening is not to play the finished film, but to use some filmed materials and cut it into a short film for everyone to try.

The nature is equivalent to a "trailer"!

Pi Yang and Yang Mingjin, as media representatives, got tickets to watch a movie.

After the two had lunch, they couldn't wait to rush to the theater and wait for the broadcast of the "Godzilla" test screening.

In fact, neither of them knows much about this movie.

They only know that this is a monster movie specially made by PD Film and Television to commemorate the late Old Man Qiao.

In the beginning!

Everyone thinks that Godzilla is "an evangel or OV of a certain Ultraman". Later, I learned that Godzilla has nothing to do with Ultraman.

This is a pure "monster" movie!

It can also be called a "disaster movie"!

According to director Li Wanbo's description, the film does not have any "superpower" elements. Humans can only rely on their own strength to fight against ferocious and terrifying monsters.

"It's a little hard!"

On the way to the theater, Pi Yang and Yang Mingjin had a discussion on the topic of "how humans deal with monsters".

In the end they came to a conclusion!

It's hard to get into the sky!

There are no superheroes, no superpowers, and no advanced technology. With human technology, I am afraid that only nuclear weapons can threaten monsters.

Bioweapons might do the trick too!

But Godzilla is a monster after all, and it is still unknown whether biological weapons will work.

As for laser weapons?

This thing is still only in the experimental stage, and it may be very powerful, but it has not yet been used by humans in actual combat weapons.

Therefore, to deal with such a large monster, normal firepower is simply not enough.

"Maybe there's another possibility!"

Yang Mingjin whimsically said: "Humans have established communication with Godzilla, and through communication, Godzilla has become docile and no longer cruel?"

"What do you think!"

Pi Yang rolled his eyes and said, "When a monster appears in the human world, the human government must be thinking about how to destroy it in the first place, instead of communicating with it." ”

If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!

The harmony between humans and monsters is, after all, a beautiful fantasy in special films. If a monster does appear, either it will die or humanity will be wiped out.

There is no third possibility!

"That's what I said......"

Yang Mingjin nodded, and just wanted to add a few words, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people walking towards the theater.

"Eh, look at it!"

"Is that Tao Mi and Meng Hei Pig?"

"Looks like it's them!"

Pi Yang picked up the camera, took a photo and said: "Tao Mi is pushing the stroller, and the child in it should be a little black pig!"

"Did you take a picture, show me what the little black pig looks like, is it ugly and pitiful?" Yang Mingjin said curiously.

When he saw the photo, he couldn't help but pout, "What! The little guy looks quite cute, I thought he was too ugly to see anyone!"

Pi Yang: "......"

What kind of strange remark is this?

The two of us are so close to Meng Heizhu, if you hear this, you can't be chopped into mashed meat?

"They're here to see Godzilla, too!"

Pi Yang raised the ticket in his hand and said to Yang Mingjin: "Let's go! Let's go and see what Godzilla looks like when he was blown into the sky by Meng Heizhu!"

The theater was packed.

I heard that Meng Heizhu and his family were in the box upstairs, and I didn't know if it was true or not.

Anyway, Pi Yang didn't wait long, and the test screening short film started.

It's raining and the sea is surging!

A huge ship was driving on the sea, and suddenly a lightning bolt fell, and a monstrous wave tens of meters high was instantly set off around the giant ship.

The waves dispersed, and the long-known beast Godzilla finally revealed his true face.

I don't know if it's an illusion......

Seeing this Godzilla, Yang Mingjin always felt that this was a relative of "Gorzan". Not only are the names similar, but the shape of the holsters is also very similar.

Of course!

Godzilla is much fiercer than Gorzan!

The cargo destroyed a huge ship for the first time, and then landed in a coastal city and wreaked havoc. Smoke billowed from the city, and warplanes and tanks exploded and disintegrated.

"This is a monster!"

Seeing the once prosperous city being destroyed in an instant, many people were shocked.

What is Gorzan?

What is Gatanjee?

Take a look at Godzilla's big scene of "destroying the city and destroying the world", this is called a monster, this is called a great horror!

I have to say!

Godzilla's setting, although not as strong as the monsters in Ultraman, his destructive power is really amazing.

Destroy the world!

If I don't BB with you, the destruction will be over!

Anyway, there is no Ultraman in this world, there is no Kamen Rider, and there is no heroic protagonist, Godzilla is an invincible existence.

Human beings are really powerless in the face of this terrifying creature.

Fighter tanks?

A slap in the face, what's the use?

Even the last hole card of mankind, known as the "nuclear egg" that destroys everything, still failed to annihilate Godzilla.

The grand war scene makes people's blood boil.

In the face of the invincible Godzilla, humanity has fallen into unprecedented despair. They really couldn't figure out how to defeat this prehistoric beast.

Until the appearance of Qiao Lao......

Dr. Joe, a biologist, has studied paleontology for many years. In order to defeat Godzilla, he researched a weapon called the "Oxygen Destroyer".

In order to prevent this weapon from being used in warfare, he chose to burn all the research materials and bury himself at the bottom of the ocean with Godzilla.

This is a sad story.

Humanity eventually defeated Godzilla, but what was left behind was a mess.

Godzilla was born from nuclear radiation. In the final analysis, it is a sin of human beings themselves, and they have tasted the consequences in the end.

The little ones saw the monsters!

What adults see is nuclear terror!

Although it is only a test screening, the duration is only 21 minutes. But the shock that this short 21 minutes brought to the audience is difficult to describe in words.

Especially the kids!

When they saw the scene of "Ultraman fighting monsters" before, they didn't intuitively feel the horror of monsters.

Even in their eyes, monsters are quite a cute species!

This time, they were scared!

Godzilla's horror easily destroys the city and destroys the world. Without Ultraman's protection, humans are vulnerable to monsters.

Don't forget......

It's just Godzilla!

Compared to the monsters that appear in Ultraman TV dramas, Godzilla is weak and pitiful. But Godzilla, who is so weak, almost completed the achievement of "destroying mankind".

One can imagine how terrifying it would be if other monsters appeared on Earth!

Gatanjee?

Just a monster like Bemenstein or the monster bird Barton, most humans will be GG.

Defeating Godzilla was a pure fluke.

It can also be said that the halo of the protagonist, without the partiality of the screenwriter, with Godzilla's ability, it is not difficult to destroy human civilization.

Humans are still too weak!

This is the feeling that many people have after walking out of the theater.
