Chapter 202: Why is that?

To make otaku money.

Children's spending power is strong, but the total amount is not high. In other words, children do not have a stable source of income, and pocket money comes and goes, so they can cut a stubble every once in a while, but it is really unnecessary to squeeze it every day.

Otaku is different.

This group is like a sponge, you don't know how rich they really are if you don't twist it hard.

Meng Lang wanted to wring out the sponge.

"Idol X Warrior: The Sound of Miracles" is the first work of the neon girl special effects live-action drama "Idol Warrior" series, which is not well-known in China, but in the neon mainland, this is a popular girl special effects drama.

Even, a combination was born.

Miracle05!

This girl group, like the name, is full of miracles, and has been greatly sought after since its inception. Fans include middle-aged greasy uncles in their forties and fifties, as well as underage and adult dead houses, as well as young and beautiful girls.

It's hard to imagine.

Three little girls made their debut in a girl group because of a girl's special effects work, and then became a big hit. The plot is the same as the TV series, if there are some more monsters, it will really be a magical girl.

Although this model is not long-lasting.

After all, the popularity of the girl group largely depends on the popular TV dramas. Once the popularity of TV dramas disappears, the girl group will also be disbanded.

Just like when Ultraman was on the air, there were merchants who came to Pengda every day to borrow leather cases to advertise, and now that Ultraman's popularity has dissipated, this kind of thing rarely happens.

But you can make money this way!

It doesn't matter how long this girl group can last, even if it is a fire for a month and then disbanded on the spot. As long as he can earn money, Uncle Meng can accept it.

Besides, there's a sequel to this thing!

Idol Warrior is a weekly drama!

And the length of the episodes is similar to that of Kamen Rider, and more than fifty episodes are enough to be broadcast for a year. After this season, the second season will be taken over immediately, so won't it be able to continue the popularity.

"We simply focus on the Internet platform to create a new mode of operation of the girl group!"

The person in charge from Penguin Entertainment proposed: "The TV drama of the idol warrior can be landed on the TV platform, but the focus is on promoting the online platform. The operation activities of Miracle Girl are also mainly carried out on the Internet. ”

That is the online drama + Internet celebrity model?

Meng Lang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, let's use this audition as a pilot first, and use the online voting mode to determine the winner!"

"What should I do if I swipe my ticket?"

The person in charge from Leyu Culture asked: "And the question of the artist's belonging, Mr. Meng, you haven't made it clear!"

"What else is there to say about this?"

Meng Lang asked in surprise: "The last trio, we Pengda signed." For the rest of you, you can sign as you like. ”

The top three are the miracle combinations.

This combination, Meng Lang must sign.

If you don't sign him, do you have to ask these two companies to make a sequel?

Of course, eating alone is not good.

Meng Lang gave up the others very sensibly, as long as the miracle combination was pinched by him, the other outstanding players could be completely lost to these two to divide equally.

"We don't sign people!"

The person in charge of Penguin shook his head and said: "Whether it is a miracle group or other popular contestants, they need to sign a supplementary agreement with us, and the image rights can be used for free." TV dramas and performances are licensed to us for exclusive online broadcasting. ”

"Yes!"

The distribution of the spoils is decided for the time being.

After determining the ownership of the spoils, all that remains is the specific plan of the activity.

There are six registration points at the beginning of the audition, divided into six cities, and after the preliminary round, 10 people will be promoted each, and a total of 60 people will be promoted.

These 60 people will participate in the recording of the program in Jiangchuan and get the opportunity to dance and vocal training for three weeks.

Every Sunday for the three weeks, there will be a poll, and after the voting results are in, the top three will enter the alternate list. A total of nine people advanced in three weeks, and the nine people formed three teams to perform live at the Gangcheon Sports Center.

In the end, according to the live performance score, plus online voting, the best contestant of each group was selected, a total of three people.

This is the last miracle girl!

The whole audition process takes about 2 months.

It's a bit rushed, like this kind of activity, it's the norm to do it for half a year or even a year. At the end of two months, the time is indeed a bit rushed.

But it can't be helped.

Meng Lang couldn't wait that long, and he didn't want to invest so much money. The casting dragged on for half a year or even a year, so how long did it take to finish filming?

Why don't you have this time?

In this way, at the insistence of Meng Lang, Leyu Culture and Penguin Entertainment passed the project cooperation plan.

Miracle girl, get ready!

......

When Meng Lang was busy auditioning for the miracle girl, "Cosmic Heroes: The Three Ultra Brothers" ended its screening journey.

The final box office was fixed at 917 million!

"It's not easy!"

Wang Kui sighed: "As a special effects theater version, I thought that the 800 million box office of the big movie was an insurmountable peak! ”

It's a pity that it didn't break through one billion.

But this box office has broken the record set by the big movie and has become a new box office milestone for the tokusatsu theater version.

It can be said that with these two successful theatrical versions, Pengda Film and Television has gained a firm foothold in the film market.

As the first old man to join, watching Pengda Film and Television go all the way from a small workshop to today, and even make a movie that almost broke one billion at the box office, Wang Kui couldn't help but feel emotional.

Even he is like that, let alone outsiders.

After the three Ott brothers were released, almost everyone was talking about the movie. In contrast, the heroes who made efforts in the later stage to break through 800 million at the box office were not very hotly discussed.

There's a reason for that!

Zhan Xiong is a costume war film, with a successful precedent and a wide audience base, and the box office of 800 million can only be regarded as decent if it is placed in a big production of the same type.

But there is no precedent for the three Otter brothers!

This is a movie version of a live-action special effects TV drama, as a derivative movie of the TV series, or the unpopular theme of special effects, it is really surprising that it can touch the threshold of one billion.

"Why not cartoons?"

The director of the animated film "True Dragon", which was released at the same time, faced the media and asked suspiciously: "I have also watched the three Ultra brothers, and it is barely a science fiction film." Why don't kids watch cartoons, go to see a science fiction movie?"

This is also the confusion of industry insiders.

The three Ultra brothers are on the fringes of science fiction and fantasy movies, and the audience should be mostly adults.

But 68% of the audience are children!

It's obviously a science fiction film, but why did it steal the audience of the animated movie? The production of the real dragon is not bad, and the children who have seen it say that it is good, but no one has watched it.

What went wrong?

Director Zhenlong couldn't figure it out, he didn't have the idea of stirring up trouble, he just couldn't understand why the audience was robbed of the audience by the three Ultra brothers.

That's why he had this question.
