Chapter 116 Finalization (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Zhang Yi is a good actor.
Although the scene he took was a children's monster drama, he did not slack off, and he could be seen on the set every day holding the script and studying the role.
The more he studied the script, the more frightened he became.
Is this drama really for children?
Each monster has a complete collection of "settings", and each story is full of bitter irony and metaphors.
It seems to be a comical farce of "giants fighting monsters", but in fact, it is full of discussions on human nature and reflections on history.
He found Mr. Meng and asked his own questions.
"Mr. Meng, I'm curious! Is Meng Nan dead? Meng Nan of the Cotter team, is it Meng Nan himself, or is it Meng Nan disguised by Ultraman?"
Mr. Shidi seems to be sick.
Meng Lang had a headache for him to break the casserole and ask to the end, but he had to answer him.
If this doesn't answer his doubts and let him think blindly, something big will happen.
"Meng Nan was actually dead in the first episode. ”
In the thirty-eight episodes since, Meng Nan is more like the human incarnation of the first generation, he is the first generation rather than Meng Nan.
This point, in the original finale, actually has an answer.
Zofie wants to take Hatsuyo back to the Land of Light, but Hatsuyo says that he can't leave, and his life has been given to Hayata.
Tetsuo Kaneshiro made a commotion here, and the first generation said that he had lived for more than 20,000 years, and the life of an earthling was only a few decades, and he did not regret it.
It's already hinted at here.
The meaning of the first generation is very clear: Brother Zofie, I can't leave now, I have to continue to stay on Earth and play the role of "Hayata".
After acting for a few decades, he will be able to return to the Land of Light smoothly.
For Ultraman's long life, a few decades is a fart?
Here's another interpretation.
The red orb that Zofie took away at the end actually had nothing in it.
The real first generation still stays on Earth to play Hayata.
The happy ending is: the first generation gave life to Hayata, and Zofie gave life to the first generation again, and both survived.
At the end of the finale, Hayata's memory is stuck in the crash of the fighter, indicating that Tsuburaya still chose a happier ending.
Both endings are believed.
Zhang Yi obviously agreed with Meng Lang's statement.
I saw him nod, and then muttered, "Sure enough!"
"Mr. Meng, I know how to play the role of Yi Qian!"
Mr. Shidi said to himself: "As the captain, Yi Qian didn't even find out that Meng Nan was dropped, which shows that he ignored the people around him. ”
Or, he actually knew it a long time ago, because Ultraman could help Team Cotter protect the peace of the earth, so he didn't expose Ultraman's disguise. ”
"For Yi Qian, it doesn't matter who the team members are, as long as they can protect the peace of the earth......"
You have too much drama, right?
Meng Lang can't complain, this is pure over-interpretation.
If the identity of the human body is not exposed, it is the famous "Orte's law", how can there be so many intrigues.
Sending away the distracted Mr. Shidi, Meng Lang gathered the crew and prepared to shoot the eighth episode of "Ultraman" "Monster Lawless Zone"!
This episode was originally going to be filmed after the seventh episode, but because there were too many holsters in the appearance, it was postponed until now.
Episode 8 features five monsters!
Among them, there are four leather cases appearing, namely "Little Head Big Brother" King Red, "Bat-like" Qiangdra, "Invincible Grenade" Magera, and "Kind and Weak" Pigumon.
Safran, the only tentacle plant that doesn't have a holster, is not to be mentioned.
Of the five monsters, Safran was the weakest, burned to death by a flamethrower. The second is the underground monster Magera, who was killed by the grenade of the captain and Meng Nan.
The second place went to the fanged brother Trondra, who was ripped off by King Red and injured in one of his wings and fled.
The strongest is King Red, don't look at this small head and small eyes, and the combat effectiveness is still wide.
Although "lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot" is too stupid, and it is really miserable to be beaten to death by the first generation, compared with the previous ones, Lao Lei is definitely the leader of the eighth episode.
Tsuburaya likes to play homage memes, and the reason why King Red's monster holster is "classic" is mainly because Tsuburaya is reluctant to spend money on new monsters.
Spare King Red!
Meng Lang had forgotten that this was the first few first-generation monsters to be whipped by Tsuburaya.
Oh yes...... And Pigumon!
But this thing has no combat effectiveness?
Although there is an active figure of Pigumon where King Red appears, this thing is really weak as a monster.
Weaker than Safran.
The filming of episode 8 went well, and although there were a lot of holsters in the scene, there were no shots in the same frame, so the two holster actors were still busy.
This also gave Meng Lang a wake-up call.
There are still too few holster actors, and there are very few shots of multiple holsters coexisting like the first generation, so it's not too difficult to shoot.
But what about a guy who is "1v2" every day?
Not to mention the leather case battle of Aunt Dong next door, which is even more of a challenge.
"Holster actors are not easy to recruit!"
Wang Kui complained: "Recruiting people according to the standards of behind-the-scenes workers, people think this work is too tiring." recruits people according to the standards of actors, and when it comes to wearing a holster without showing their faces, many people are not happy. ”
"Then raise the salary. ”
He explained to Wang Kui: "No one will have trouble with money, and not being able to recruit people can only mean that we haven't given enough money." ”
Many problems can be solved with money.
If there is a problem that cannot be solved even with money, it can only be said that the money is not enough.
Pengda Film and Television's leather cover actor salary, the basic salary starts at 10,000 yuan, and there are additional bonuses when there is filming.
Some people want to do a job with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan.
Not to mention whether you are tired or not, no matter how tired you are, you can be tired of moving bricks? Besides, even if you move bricks this year, you may not be able to earn a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan.
There are many job seekers who want to apply for holster actors, but most of them don't meet the requirements.
For example, the body is too fat and thin, the head is too big, the height is too short, the neck is too short and thick, and so on.
If the conditions are relaxed, there will be a lot of leather suit actors for him to use.
But these screening conditions are a must, after all, Meng Lang doesn't want to be an Ultraman with a "big belly", or a Kamen Rider with a height of 1.6 meters.
The filming work progressed steadily, and at the end of May, Meng Lang submitted 30 episodes of "Ultraman" to Director Tao.
Meng Zai is a talker.
If it's thirty episodes, then thirty episodes, no more, no less, just right.
Director Tao received the finished film, and after discussing with the leaders of the station, he decided to arrange a special schedule for "Ultraman".
19:30-20:00!
It's prime time!
And the time is half an hour, cut off the advertising time at the beginning and end, and you can have 27 minutes to play the feature film.
Enough is enough!
Even if you include the cast and crew of the OP and the end credits, the total duration of an episode of "Ultraman" is only about 25 minutes.
To get this schedule, Meng Lang didn't expect it at all.
Broadcast after Simulcast News?
This is the time when most families have dinner, and even if they are playful children, they generally do not go out but stay at home to eat.
Sure enough, it's a "golden" file!
Such good news, of course, has to be shared with fans.
