"Magic Warrior: Magical Pure Heart" is certainly a serious project, but it is uncertain whether the producers and directors are serious.

It's pretty unreliable anyway......

Due to the slow progress of the project, after learning about the specific situation, Meng Lang no longer paid attention.

He had other things to do.

For example, the 2021 Xin Chou Year of the Ox is limited, and the specific IP has not yet been determined. Considering that the Lunar New Year is just around the corner, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible.

There's not much time left!

Every year around the Spring Festival, PD will announce the "Zodiac Limited" model of the year. Because this limited represents the strategic layout of PD for a whole year, it is of great significance and is known as the "main hit of the year", which has attracted the attention of countless people inside and outside the circle.

The 2020 "Gengzi Mouse" is a four-wheel drive car, and the 2019 "Jihai Pig" is a Transformer, both of which are the "Star of the Year" of the year, so who should be the star of the year in 2021?

There is a lot of controversy within the company.

Some executives of PD Film and Television strongly support the "Armored Warriors" series to become the 2021 Xin Chou Niu.

The reason they gave was that the second installment of the Warriors in Armor series had been confirmed this year. has the popularity of the previous work, and the sequel has locked the star of the year in advance.

Kent, CEO of PD (North America), rejected the proposal, feeling that the fledgling "Super Sentai" series needed more support from the group than the popular Armored Warriors.

"No, I don't agree!"

President Ono of PD (Neon) sneered, "The team focuses on overseas markets, and the East Asian market is dispensable. Ultraman has eaten so many resources of the group, how can he support the knights this year!"

"I support the Armored Warriors!"

"Listen to me, Super Sentai!"

"Kamen Rider Saigao!"

"What is the noise! Do you think this is a vegetable market? Be quiet and listen to what the others have to say!"

"That...... Mr. Meng ......"

Wang Kui, president of PD Animation, who has always been marginalized and has neither a sense of existence nor a voice, weakly added in the face of his colleagues who are eyeing him: "Our animation company also needs support, how about Doraemon? I think the animation version is very ......."

"You're thinking about fart!"

As soon as Wang Kui spoke, everyone stopped arguing, and criticized the same enemy: "The Transformers are yours, and the four-wheel drive is also yours, the group helped you twice, and you want a third time?"

"That's right, shameless!"

As the saying goes, it's just three things!

The heads of many subsidiaries have already made up their minds, no matter how noisy they are, to squeeze out the PD animation first.

This B has been supported by the group for two consecutive years, and even if you don't make achievements, you still want to continue to support it?

Dream on!

Wang Kui, who caused public anger, didn't dare to speak, so he had to look at Mr. Meng with aggrieved eyes, as if hinting: "Mr. Meng, you have a word!"

Meng Lang looked up at the ceiling, pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Well, Wang Kui accepted his fate.

After PD Animation is out, this year's main work can definitely be a live-action IP. But which IP is specific, Meng Lang is also very hesitant.

Among the three most competitive IPs this year, super teams are mainly for the European and American markets, and they can be excluded first.

The remaining armored warriors and Kamen Riders are facing the country and neon respectively. As the top two regions in terms of PD revenue, it is quite suitable for whoever you choose.

Meng Lang is more inclined to Kamen Rider.

It's not because of the empty ego, but he takes into account that for so many years, Kamen Rider and Ultraman have both been the two pillars of PD IP, and the group's resources are more concentrated on Ultraman, which has treated the Knight series badly.

Of course, this is also normal.

After all, Showa Knight and Ultraman Showa, fools know who to support.

With Ishimori's departure, the strongman is coming to an end, and the Kamen Rider series is striding into a new era, and it will be too late if you don't support it.

It's just right, and I'm quite suitable for empty.

"Let's vote!"

Although I have made a decision in my heart, on the bright side, I still have to go through a set of "voting" processes.

The results are unsurprising!

President Ono's rhetoric won over the vast majority of executives who attended the meeting, and Kamen Rider received the highest number of votes, becoming not only the limited IP of "2021 Xin Chou Niu", but also the target of the group's 2021 support.

The specific role is empty self!

The design of the Xin Chou Niu was probably announced in early February, and the release date is likely to be in March. As for the relevant support plan, it may not be implemented until the empty self starts broadcasting.

"By the way, how is Bai Cang doing?"

After the meeting, Meng Lang hung up the video call of the others, leaving President Ono alone to ask about the situation of the empty self.

After all, he still holds the title of chairman of the empty self production committee, so it is reasonable to be concerned about the latest developments.

"He just finished filming an episode and is desperately editing dailies. I believe it won't be long before the dailies will be submitted to the production committee......"

"Is there too much time?"

Meng Lang touched his chin and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the strongman will be over at the end of this month, right?

"Hi Yi, there are still two episodes of strongman!"

President Ono emphasized, "Half a month should be enough. ANB has prepared a plan, and if the time is too late, they will fill the schedule with variety show specials. ”

"That's good!" Meng Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

Neon's weekly broadcast system is very torturous, and if something goes wrong in the middle of the previous and sequel files, you may have to queue for months to change the schedule to broadcast.

Of course, this is an ordinary work.

For example, in the case of a popular sequel like Kamen Rider, ANB would rather wait for a while than easily let people cut the queue when time is tight.

Who made them invest in it......

The ANB is also on the list of the Empty Self Production Committee. As a family, it is natural for them to give preferential treatment.

There is no trouble with schedules, and the rest depends on how Bai Cang plays.

If the sample is qualified, it will naturally be able to pick up the file as soon as possible. But if the sample is unqualified and not approved by the production committee, Meng Lang will never let go of Bai Cang easily.

"By the way, what about Ishimori?"

"Mr. Ishimori is gone!"

President Ono said with regret, "After the filming of the last two episodes of the strongman, Ishimori-sensei left Kyoto and arrived in New York this morning......"

"What is he doing in New York?"

It's normal for Shi Sen to leave, and he also said that he would rest for a while after filming strongmen. But what did he do in New York without accompanying his family and children?

"I heard it's a prize!"

President Ono in the video spread his hands and said: "It's related to manga, I don't know what the specific award is......"

"Okay, I see!"

After telling Ono to take care of Shi Sen more, Meng Lang hung up the video call, scratching his chin thoughtfully.

Ishimori is a manga artist by profession, and he has repeatedly stated that he will not give up his comic career and will continue to draw in the future.

Now, he has time to draw!!

So here's the problem......

Anyway, painting everything is painting, so why not give him a new job and paint something more commercially valuable?
