Heroes in North America!

According to surveys and statistics conducted by authoritative organizations, young Americans are influenced by the environment and worship heroes very much. 89.1% of respondents said they aspire to be heroes.

It can be said that hero culture has become the most recognized mainstream culture in contemporary Americans.

This hero, the range is very wide.

It can be Kobe Cristiano Ronaldo Buffett or Kamen Rider Meng Hei Pig. Characters or characters in any field and any carrier, as long as they fit their hero culture, can gain worship.

Ultraman is no exception!

Four years ago, the first generation was born, and the Americans behaved like neon people, and they were extremely surprised and admired the imagination of PD.

But the protagonist is a crooked nut......

American culture, while having strong "compatibility", also has a certain "xenophobia".

The yellow-skinned hero is worthy of admiration but not worship for the mainstream American public. So, they did it very roughly......

Forcibly divide the human body!

PD once did a street interview in North America, and most of the passers-by said: "UItraman? Of course I like it, I like Severn the most, and I have the same glasses!"

"Zhu Xingtuan, I don't like it very much, I don't think he has handled his feelings well. If it were me, I would probably do better than him!"

The reasons are varied.

Although he said it nicely, he didn't say those two words directly. But the fluttering eyes and the slight movements at the corners of the mouth with disdain prove that discrimination still exists.

Of course, this is also normal.

Meng Lang didn't expect them to like the human body, if they didn't like it, they didn't like it, they just liked Ultraman.

Toys don't have a skin color anyway!

In this situation, Jonias was born. is not only the first "non-M78" Ultraman, but also the first "foreign" human body, and the crew from the director to the starring role are all Americans......

This is something that has never been done before.

In recent years, tourism in Gangcheon has been booming, and the reason for this is not that people want to see the "city protected by Ultraman".

Los Angeles is also sheltered?

This setting instantly flattered the Yankees and made them have a great impression of Jonias. Not to mention, the human body is also American!

So, their attitude changed.

Although Jonias has only aired a short episode, the enthusiastic North American media has already given it the title of "Best Ultraman Work".

Don't look at it, it's not an American!

Even the media, let alone the general audience. All kinds of rainbow farts are swarming in, and they are about to blow PD into the sky.

They have their own thoughts.

Crazy blowing about Jonias, and then belittling other works. Let the black pig waver, and then launch more "Americanized" Ultraman.

But they underestimated Meng Lang.

In the face of the touting, PD was unmoved. After all, Mr. Meng is very realistic, focusing on the ratings with his left eye and the surrounding sales data with his right eye.

The results are not bad......

Despite the unanimous praise from the media audience, the ratings for the premiere were not very high. According to data provided by AC Nielsen, the first episode only received 3.01% of the ratings.

Compared to the same period, it is very good.

The U.S. television network is complex, with a mix of paid and free-to-air channels, as well as Internet channels. Ratings are not statistically significant. The most important thing is the number of viewers.

Jonias' first episode, which retained tens of millions of viewers, was a good start.

At least make money!

FOX's payment to Pengda for the first episode was about $1.5 million. And the cost of Jonias's first episode is only $120,000.

It's a good deal!

By this standard, Jonias, with a total of 32 episodes, will generate $50 million in revenue for PD's North American division.

Not to mention, the ratings will go up!

Roughly calculated, just the right to broadcast, there are absolutely seventy or eighty million. After deducting the cost, it can also make a profit of thirty or forty million.

But it's all small money!

The real profit depends on the surrounding derivatives. The sales of the Transforming Device Flash Star alone cannot be less than 100 million.

The Shiny Star design has changed!

The original shining star is an ordinary five-pointed star, which is attached to the forehead to complete the transformation.

Meng Lang dislikes this setting very much, the transformer is a five-pointed star, no problem, why should it be attached to the head to transform?

Isn't it okay to stick to your chest?

It's a five-pointed star, not a post-it note! You put it on your forehead, and it falls off as soon as you let go of it. If you fix it with your fingers, your hands will be sore over time.

Not good for kids to play!

In order to achieve better results, Meng Lang pondered and finally came up with a good idea.

Make it magnetic!

Using the magnet's magnetic properties, the "Shining Star" can be easily attached to metal. Complete with a metal card that can be tucked into the pocket of your shirt, and a new design is born.

The metal card is tucked into the shirt pocket, and as long as the shining star is attached to the chest while transforming, the transformer will automatically absorb the clothes, flashing light and sounding the transformation sound.

You can also use a metal card without a metal card.

If your buttons, helmets, and zippers are made of metal, you can also complete the transformation.

This is a transformation in reality.

As for the transformation in the play, it becomes very fancy.

The protagonist takes out the shining star and throws it upwards. After a few weeks of spinning, the shining star fits snugly against the forehead, radiating a dazzling light.

The action is similar to flipping a coin!

Of course, you can also put your hand on your forehead.

Design a "throwing" action, mainly to be handsome, and by the way, give the transformer a "rotating" close-up. In fact, this step can be omitted entirely.

In addition to the protagonist Jonias, Lott and Ultraman Erec who appear in the play also use the "Flash Star" to transform, and the actions are similar to those of the protagonist.

Emia is special because she is not a U40 fighter and does not have the ability to take the initiative to "become huge" in the early stage. So, there is no need for a transformer.

Only later will the shining star be used!

"Isn't that the same?"

Wang Kui was puzzled: "Why don't you design a new transformer for them? Isn't it really embarrassing to use the same transformer?"

"Embarrassing what?"

Meng Lang rubbed his eyes and said: "The shining star is just a common name, the real name of this transformer is U40 standard standard energy activator, which is uniformly produced and wholesaled by the Great Sage." ”

Symbolizes the unity of the U40!

It's like a bunch of rough goods in the M78 next door, nominally under the banner of "brother and brother" unity, but in fact, they are deceitful and infighting.

Hypocritical M78 O!

At this point, Meng Lang admires the U40 civilization system. Although it presents a sense of "primitive tribe" barbarism, under the leadership of the great sage, the tribe is united and fraternal, and full of happiness.

Not with the M78......

Although Ao's father is the nominal boss, there is a king of Ao squatting above his head, and his power is scattered. The cosmic garrison directly under the central government is also full of internal contradictions.

Don't forget, this is a high-rise!

The top of the Land of Light are like this, and it is estimated that the bottom is not much better. Not to mention the "red and blue" racial contradictions, and the second generation of officials making trouble everywhere......
