Chapter 118: Ultraman Descends! (2-in-1 Subscription)
Today is Children's Day on June 1, the third day of the fifth lunar month, welcome to the simulcast news ......"
At seven o'clock in the evening, "Simulcast News" started on time!
Panda, who was looking down to eat, heard the iconic opening music of "Simulcast News" on the TV, and instantly raised his head.
"Dad, I want to watch Penguin TV!"
Picking up a piece of braised pork, Pan Qi glanced at his son and corrected: "That's Jiangchuan Satellite TV! What Penguin Satellite TV ......?"
"It's all the same!
With rice grains on the corners of his mouth, Panda shouted, "I want to see Ultraman!"
"It's still early! what are you in a hurry......
Although he said so, Pan Qiliang still grabbed the remote control on the table and tuned the TV to the Jiangchuan comprehensive channel with the icon "Penguin".
Speaking of, What is Ultraman?
After picking up the mobile phone and typing the word "Ultraman" in the search box, the first message that popped up answered Pan Qiliang's doubts.
"Meng Lang's new drama "Ultraman" will premiere on June 1, Penguin Entertainment will have an exclusive interview with ......"
Pan Qiliang was not interested in what the second half of the title and the text said, and when he saw the word "Meng Lang", he subconsciously touched his trouser pocket.
Why is this guy again?!
Pan Qiliang frowned, and his mood became very bad all of a sudden, and even the braised pork in his mouth lost its taste.
If he could, he would love to sell a house under his name and send the man surnamed Meng to settle on Mars.
This guy has new dramas all year round, doesn't he need to rest?
There's no need to be so dedicated......
If other directors were "as productive as sows", Pan Qiliang would probably be able to jump with joy. If Meng Lang is "as productive as a sow", there will only be endless anger left.
I think that at the beginning, before I didn't know this person, he Pan Qiliang had three suites in Zhonghai under his name, not to mention the tender model of the club every day, and the cigarettes he smoked were at least more than 100 yuan!
But since I met this person, life has been worse day by day! Breakfast has also experienced the painful process of [meat bun + soy milk], → [vegetable bun + soy milk], → [vegetable bun] → [hungry].
It's so uncomfortable!
Although he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother, after thinking about it carefully, Meng Zai still made a little contribution.
Without this person, his son's piggy bank was full, but there was no smile on his face.
After this person appeared, although his son's piggy bank was all smashed, he reaped unexpected happiness and wore a sunny smile all day long.
Money does buy happiness!
Meng Zaicheng doesn't deceive me!
It's just this exchange, and I don't know who loses.
Putting aside all kinds of messy thoughts in his heart, Pan Qiliang pretended to be calm and asked, "Dada, what time will this "Ultraman" you are talking about start?"
"Half past seven!"
Panda said very firmly: "It will start at half past seven! Dad, don't worry, I'll do my homework after reading it!"
"Hmmm......"
Pan Qiliang nodded absentmindedly.
The father and son fell silent for a while, until the two hosts of "Simulcast News" began to put away the manuscript, and the screen jumped out of the staff list.
"I'm full!"
Panda excitedly slapped down his chopsticks, stepped on the "Battle King EX" plush slippers, and ran to the sofa jumping and jumping.
Pan Qiliang shook his head and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
When he came out of the kitchen, the TV station was still broadcasting commercials. He wiped his hands and approached the couch to sit down against his son.
Less than five seconds after I sat down, the commercial for White Silk Coke had just ended, and a strange music sounded, and a relatively abstract oil painting appeared on the TV, and the two swirls on the left and right of the oil painting rotated until three big characters appeared - Ultraman!
"This opening is a bit like a horror movie...... Pan Qiliang thought as he touched his chin.
Fortunately, after the end of this opening, the picture entered the opening as soon as it turned, and with the editing of the wonderful scenes in the play, the passionate opening song gradually sounded.
The intro editing is pretty good, with monsters and giants appearing, and the fights look great.
Panda couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the giant, and left the sofa to get closer to the TV to watch more carefully, but was dragged back by Pan Qiliang.
"Don't get that close!"
Children usually don't know how to protect their eyes, and they want to take a closer look when they see something new and strange on TV, but Pan Qiliang, as an adult, naturally knows that this is not good for the eyes.
Panda was dragged back to the couch by his father and said dejectedly, "Ahhh
"What's the hurry, I'll have it later. ”
After the opening song, the scene comes to a standstill, and a female voice announces: "Episode 1 - Heroes from the Universe!"
"Yo! And this?"
Pan Qiliang was in high spirits, and he felt as surprised as if he had discovered a new world.
Setting the title of the episode is generally only available in unit dramas, and serial dramas are rare or even none.
Is this a unit drama?
At the beginning of the feature film, a silver-white edifice appears in the frame, with a conspicuous mark on the front of the building.
Arrows hit the bull's-eye?
What the hell marked?
The narrator says, "The headquarters of the International Science Search Team is in Jiangchuan, and there are five members at the headquarters who are responsible for investigating strange events and strange phenomena around the world, and they have to defend themselves against invaders from the universe......"
Interesting!
It's so much fun!
The more Pan Qiliang watched it, the more energetic he became, and the appearance of elements such as opening animation, unit drama, and narration made him very curious about this drama.
The headquarters of the Agent team received a communication application from Meng Nan's team members, and Fuji Akiko, a member played by Tao Mi, connected the radio.
Meng Nan piloted the fighter plane and reported that he had found a UFO.
As soon as he finished talking about the coordinates, this beautifully shaped fighter plane collided with a ball of flashing red light and exploded!
The moment the fighter plane exploded, the father and son were shocked.
Is it really a blast? Or is it a special effect?
That's too much money, isn't it?
It's no wonder that Pan Qiliang didn't see that it was a model, this fighter was from the handwriting of Old Man Qiao, needless to say his old man's craftsmanship, plus the clarity of the TV is not as good as the big screen, it is understandable that Pan Qiliang didn't see that it was a model.
The wreckage of the fighter plane burst into flames.
"Uncle Meng...... Dead?"
Pan Qiliang hesitated: "It should be dead, the planes have been blown up, and it is impossible for him to live......"
Before he finished speaking, the picture cut to the first generation, and he immediately shut up.
I almost forgot that this was a TV series!
In a subspace similar to "chaos", Meng Nan saw a giant as tall as "holding the sky"!
The giant calls himself "Ultraman", the land of light from the M78 nebula, and came to Earth in pursuit of the cosmic monster Bermuda, but unexpectedly collided with Meng Nan's fighter.
The giant felt guilty for killing Meng Nan, so he decided to share his life with Meng Nan, and the two of them would work together to protect the peace of the earth.
"Dad, this Ultraman is not an earthling, why does he want to protect the peace of the earth?" asked Panda, tilting his head.
Pan Qiliang: "......"
How did he know the answer.
But the son is right, the whole thing is like a foreigner driving by the community and accidentally hitting and injuring a grandmother of a neighborhood committee.
"I'm sorry Grandma, in order to express my apologies, I will share the car with you, and let's maintain peace in the community together!"
Mad's retardation!
What a bridge this is!
What the hell is life sharing? Now that you have this ability, it's not difficult to resurrect Meng Nan, right?
Spit and spit out, you have to watch it.
Meng Nan got Ultraman's life sharing, and also obtained a "β magic wand", which can transform into a giant to fight after use!
"It turns out that giants are humans!"
Panda was pleasantly surprised: "Then can I become a giant too?"
"No! you can only become an adult!"
Panda pursed his mouth.
The story continues, the Cotter team can't contact Meng Nan, and learns from the people camping in the wild that the fighter plane crashed, and everyone is very sad.
Meng Nan's body was searched for all night but not found, but the lake suddenly splashed in the early morning!
"Bermuda the Monster has appeared!"
Everyone scattered and fled, and the Cotter team, under the command of the captain Yi Qian, began to face the monsters.
"Monsters are so ugly!"
"Ugly ...... indeed"
The father and son muttered for a while, feeling that the image of Bermuda still fits the word "monster", so ugly that they can recognize at a glance that this is not an earth creature.
After being attacked by Team Cot, the monster dives under the water and refuses to show its head again.
At this time, Fuji Mingzi, who stayed at the headquarters, received a communication from Meng Nan, asking her to drive a special submarine to Longsen Lake......
In this scene, Fuji Akiko's special feelings for Meng Nan can be seen as long as he is not blind.
The soft and glutinous "Meng Jun" made Pan Qiliang get goosebumps all over his body.
The director definitely has a bad taste!
Fortunately, this scene passed quickly.
Meng Nan is not dead, he is still alive! He piloted the submarine into the bottom of the lake to attack the monster, and the captain Yi Qian took the rest of the team members to board the fighter plane and attack the monster that emerged from the air.
The monster was attacked by a double attack, and was so angry that it grabbed the submarine piloted by Meng Nan and threw it out.
The submarine was smashed to the ground, igniting a fire.
The fighter plane "Honghu" that the captain and others were riding was also attacked by monsters and soon fell.
At this time, Meng Nan, who struggled to climb out of the submarine, took out a β magic wand from his bag and raised his right hand high!
"Ultraman!"
With a roar, β the tip of the magic wand launched a spiral ray of light to wrap around Meng Nan, the light dissipated, the giant's right hand clenched his fist above his head, his left hand clenched his fist parallel to his head, and his body gradually became larger!
Finally!
Ultraman has appeared!
Panda exclaimed excitedly, "It's a giant!"
"Wrong! It's Ultraman!" Pan Qiliang corrected.
The father and son were so immersed in the surprise of the giant's appearance that they were completely unaware that a certain woman had been standing behind the sofa and staring at them for a long time.
Ultraman appears, grabbing the monster is a beating, and the punches and kicks are not exciting!
Especially the last Speime ray, which is so handsome that he has no friends!
Panda waved his little hand, crossed his hands into a cross following Ultraman's movements, and automatically voiced, "Woo Woo Woo!"
Pan Qiliang was very cooperative with his son, made a backward movement and said, "Ah, I'm dead!"
"Hahaha!"
Father and son laughed in tacit understanding.
However, at this moment, an untimely light cough came, which made the father and son shiver.
Pan Qiliang turned his head with a stiff expression, looked at his wife who was holding his hand behind him, and laughed awkwardly.
Panda was the most cunning, and at the critical moment decided to sell his father, holding up a pillow on his head and pretending that he didn't know anything.
"Pan Qiliang, you're okay! What did I tell you before I went out? Let you remember to wash the dishes after eating, but what are you doing now?"
"Wife, listen to me, I'm ......"
Before Pan Qiliang could finish speaking, his ears were twisted ninety degrees.
"Wash the dishes!"
"I'll wash it later!"
Pan Qiliang begged for mercy: "Watch one more episode......!
The idea was good, but he was disappointed.
He thought it was two episodes in a row, but it turned out to be only one episode.
Pan Qiliang was very angry, and after washing the dishes, he hurriedly went into the study and wrote an email to Meng Lang with his PD platinum membership account.
In the email, he severely denounced Jiangchuan Satellite TV's shameless practice of "hanging people's appetites", saying that the broadcast progress of one episode a day is too "brutal and unkind", and Shengming is no more than Mr. Meng, and he will definitely arrange ten episodes to be broadcast consecutively.
Anyway, it's a platinum member, Pan Qiliang is still a bit of a row, Pengda's customer service said: "Mr. Meng is busy, please try again later! Wait for the gap, why don't you take a look at the [Ultraman] series of new products on the shelves of the official flagship store......"
Pan Qiliang is not the only one who feels the same way.
With the end of the first episode, "Ultraman", which is obviously not much hot, instantly set off a wave of discussion.
Under the topic of Weibo #Ultraman#, dozens of information streams can pop up every time you refresh it.
Someone complains about the logic of the plot BUG!
There is also a discussion about which biological family Bermuda should be classified into if it is an earthly creature.
Testimonials?
No, no, no, negative reviews are in half with positive reviews.
The children were generally satisfied that this was the best Children's Day gift they had ever received.
Adults have inconsistent attitudes.
Some people think "Ultraman" is very good, and some people dismiss it, thinking that the so-called "Giants vs. Monsters" is so childish that it looks like a child's house.
Compared with the polarized audience word-of-mouth, "Ultraman" has received countless praises at the media level.
"Tomie Evening News" released a special article the next day: Challenging the limits of imagination - a brief review of Ultraman!
Jiangchuan TV's noon news even broadcast a sensational news.
The gesture of "crossing hands into a cross" became a way for children to greet each other overnight!
The popularity of "Ultraman" amazed all participants.
Especially the emperor Zhang Yi who played soy sauce.
Originally, he didn't have any popular works in the past two years, and he has gradually faded out of the public eye. didn't expect a random play to bring him back to the audience's field of vision overnight!
It's just a supporting role.
Like the heroine Tao Mi, her popularity was not low originally, but this time she added to the fire and gained a large number of passers-by.
Of course, neither of them is nothing.
The hottest must be the protagonist Meng Nan!
Meng Lang personally starred in the human body, although he has the selfishness to be in the limelight, but the more important reason is to facilitate the return of the first generation of cameos in the future.
As a result, he became popular!
Combining the triple identities of screenwriter, director, and starring, after the fire of "Ultraman", the biggest benefit must be that of him, the human body actor.
After the end of the first episode, under Meng Lang's Weibo, comments and messages of "urging changes" can be seen everywhere.
Not only that, but he also has a fan base!
Today's [Meng Tsai is not short of money], the number of fans has exceeded 5 million, and he has become a veritable big V celebrity on Weibo.
5 million followers!
The fan economy is promising!
Almost as soon as he became popular, Meng Lang ordered someone to make a toy version of the β magic wand and put it on Weibo for publicity.
