Lu Xiaobu is an actor.

His real name is Lu Bu, his stage name is Lu Xiaobu, and he once played the god of war Lu Bu with the same name and surname in "Three Kingdoms", as well as Bu Jingyun in "Fengyun".

He is one of Meng Lang's favorite actors!

If you have to choose one person to play the first "Huaxia" Kamen Rider, there is no doubt that he will be.

After all, the original is also him!

Omori has no objection to this proposal. Although Kamen Rider has not yet appeared as a "Chinese" starring, this does not mean that it is not feasible.

Even Hollywood knows that in order to curry favor with the world's second largest box office, one or two Chinese actors are deliberately arranged...... Why can't Kamen Rider?

Moreover, they have an advantage.

After all, Hollywood is an "outsider", whether it uses Chinese actors or not, in essence, there is not much difference.

But PD is a Chinese company!

Huaxia Company and Huaxia actors, this is a natural advantage that Kamen Rider has, and if you don't take advantage of it, it's a waste!

"There could be more scenes!"

In the plot of the original "Kamen Rider 555: Vanishing Paradise", LEO did not have enough scenes, and even the "complete Ofirno form" did not appear.

This is difficult to satisfy Meng Lang.

To be honest, LEO is very popular as an "alien knight" and a core villain. But the role is a little less, and there will be no less meat if you add some drama appropriately, so why not?

"I see!" Omori assured the president after understanding what he meant, "I'll think about it seriously!"

"So be it......"

The premiere of the G4 program was successful, and it was time for Omori to pack up and return to Neon Run to announce it.

Meng Lang was about to send him off, when he suddenly thought of a question when he got up, and asked him, "By the way, what do you think about the knight's belt grading mentioned by Bai Cang in the email?"

"Belt grading?"

Omori was curious: "I don't know, is there something wrong?"

"Not a big deal......"

Since Dasen didn't know much about it, Meng Lang sat down and gave him a detailed introduction.

Here's the thing......

To date, Kamen Rider has launched dozens of belt products, which have been well received by the market and have also earned a lot of profits for the company.

But with the explosion of the number of products, especially the introduction of products such as Dragoon and 555, new problems were born!

Do you want to grade it?

There is no exact rating, the market is not detailed enough, the company makes a lot of money, and the pricing is not reasonable enough to be complained by players.

"I support grading!"

Omori said without hesitation: "Actually, I discovered this problem a long time ago. ”

"My nephew bought an empty belt with low playability and about zero accessories. His classmate bought a Faiz belt, which has high playability and many accessories, but the price is the same, which he can't accept!"

"You still have a nephew?"

Omori: "......"

President, why is your focus always so strange?

Too lazy to complain about the president's strange concerns, Omori continued: "We now have improved the playability of our belts, and the accessories have also gone up, but the pricing remains the same, and we have lost a lot of profit growth points. ”

"Well, I understand. ”

Meng Lang nodded.

Times will always change, and the previous pricing strategy and product design concept are no longer suitable for the current era.

Here's a simple example!

The previous Showa Knights, with rough workmanship and extremely poor playability, were far inferior to the new 555 series. Why should you sell them for the same price if you don't have extra accessories yet?

Belt price increase?

Fans have to scold you to death!

It's all ordinary knight belts, and it's not a limited edition and a commemorative edition, so why do you have no reason to increase the price?

It is imperative to introduce a grading system!

However, the specific grading strategy needs to be carefully considered, and it cannot be hastily determined.

Bandai's set of ratings is good!

DX Standard Edition, CSM High Deluxe Edition, and then CS High Restoration Edition and 11 Collector's Edition.

Of course!

Bandai is Bandai and PD is PD.

It cannot be said that Bandai's grading strategy is 100% in line with PD needs. According to the actual situation, it has to be modified.

Meng Lang's initial idea was to add a "limited commemoration" space on the basis of the Bandai classification.

So, there are five levels of PD grading!

The first is the SD level, the standard version.

A belt of the "Standard" grade, with the lowest price, slightly smaller size and slightly less detailed workmanship. Under the PD Toys umbrella, it is defined as "entry-level".

DX Class, Deluxe Edition!

"Deluxe" grade, priced higher than SD but lower than CS. The material, workmanship, detail and size are better than SD, and the sound and lighting are excellent to play.

CS Level, Advanced Edition!

The "CompleteSection" level means that the product begins to strip off the "toy" attribute and move towards a collectible level with "reduction" as the main selling point, and the price is not less than 1,000 yuan.

CSM level, revised version!

The "CompleteSectionModification" level can be considered as an enhanced version of "Pro", "Max", or "Plus" for the CS level. I won't talk about all kinds of details, but it's done quite well anyway.

Finally, the RP class, the Collector's Edition!

The "Reprint" level, the product definition does not belong to the ranks of "toys", but the "11 perfect replicas" with extremely high collectible value.

In short!

If there is such a thing as a belt in reality, then what it looks like, PD will make it and sell it to you. It may be very difficult to play, but it's definitely realistic!

The five levels of SD, DX, CS, CSM and RP are the Kamen Rider belt grading system finally determined by Meng Lang.

Complicated, perhaps......

But in practice, it is still quite easy to recognize, after all, "pricing" is here. Different prices correspond to different grades, how much money you have in your pocket, and what grade you should buy at a glance.

The new year has just arrived!

The belt grading system, if not surprising, will be implemented from March 1, 2026.

At that time, the "Kamen Rider" belt products produced by PD Toys and Lebao Toys will have their own grade marks when they leave the factory for easy identification by consumers.

Kamen Rider 555 will be the first Knight IP to adopt a tiered system.

It's a watershed moment!

Before this, there were all kinds of knight belts, and even veteran drivers who had been in the hands for many years could not assess the value of a certain belt.

After that, the five levels are clear at a glance. Players no longer have to worry about so many styles, which one is more cost-effective......

Because, the cost performance does not exist anymore!

In the past, belt products were not graded, and the workmanship was good and poor, and the playability was mixed with the low playability, and the players could still pick up the leaks.

And now, what's missing?

Isn't it great that you have money to play RP and no money to play DX! Uncle Meng gives you a variety of options, isn't it great?

I have to say, this is a chicken thief!

After the launch of the graded specs, players are sure to curse a lot. But as the old saying goes: "You scold whatever you want, if you don't buy it, I lose!"

Believe it or not?

Those who scold the most are often the most active people in new product bookings?

Meng Zai has already realized!

There is a limit to human skin, and the more desperate you are to make money, the thicker your skin will become, until ...... Become a being beyond humanity!

......

Omori stayed in Egawa for three days.

In these three days, thanks to excellent word-of-mouth and explosive publicity, "Kamen Rider Ajito: Project G4" has achieved good box office results.

700 million in three days!

Seeing that he was about to win the "weekly box office champion" and won the champion of this Chinese New Year, the dark horse struck......

"The Wandering Moon" quickly swept across the country with an unstoppable momentum and became a group of out-and-out box office dark horses.

The weekly box office champion, which was originally firmly in hand, suddenly changed to a movie. Under the pressure of the wandering moon, the G4 program has taken a serious plunge at the box office.

It was expected to be 1.5 billion, or even 2 billion......

The results are known to everyone!

From zero to 700 million, the G4 plan took only three days. And a week has passed, and the G4 plan has not yet crossed the billion mark, and it is estimated that this is it.

It's so hard!

There is a fierce beast in the Huaxia market, and Omori can only return to neon with regrets and vigorously improve the local box office.

Fortunately, the local box office is not bad!

According to Omori's analysis, the G4 plan is expected to cut 1.5 billion yen at the box office in Neon Territory. Combined with the Chinese box office, this movie is already "making a lot of money"!

It also allowed him to stand on his feet.

When Chef Knight mentioned Ishimori, he no longer dared to say that he did not have a masterpiece, but commented that he "made a good theatrical version", and his masterpiece was "G4 Project".

It's a good start!

Everything has to be done slowly, first gain a firm foothold through the theatrical version, and then slowly take over the TV drama later, and the fans will not be so excited.

Speaking of TV dramas......

Shirakura did a great job this time!

Although "Kamen Rider 555" did not break the neon ratings record set by Ajito, it has improved his reputation a lot with its dazzling innovation.

At the very least, when it comes to Bai Cang now, it won't be all scolding.

There are already many people who support him, thinking that he has partnered with Min Ghost and made a good work.

Min Oni is the one who benefits the most!

With the excellent performance of AgitΩ and 555, his status in the eyes of the knight chef has skyrocketed, and some people have already begun to shout "Minshen".

Of course, this is only temporary.

If one day he suddenly falls ill and does something sassy, he still can't get rid of the nickname of "Min Ghost".

The Neon division is thriving!

For Meng Lang, the overseas branch business is completely on the right track, and he doesn't have to worry about it.

On the contrary, it is the headquarters, which is full of problems.

"The Dancing Girl" suffered the death of the leading actor and had to be temporarily replaced. But this also caused a lot of protests, and the "Fasu Heavenly Girl" they recognized could only be Xu Wenwen, and no one else could even think about it!

It's nonsense!

The actors have all passed away, what can I do if I don't change them? Could it be that in the second season, the scene of the Fasu Heavenly Maiden will be deleted?

The dancing goddess is a mess, and Nexus is not having a good time.

The Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was scheduled, but the result was not yet at the point, but there was a "sneaking" incident.

An employee of Big Bird Satellite TV who is in charge of reviewing the film, out of showmanship, recorded a short piece of the original film with his mobile phone and posted it to the chat group.

Although the video was quickly deleted and not widely disseminated, the incident still made people feel bad.

It's the fifteenth day of the first month in a blink of an eye!

Meng Lang, who encountered a series of bad things one after another, finally waited for the broadcast of "Ultraman Nexus".

The first Ultra work of the year!

Since after Gaia's end, PD vigorously promoted the implementation of "Plan N", and Nexus belonged to the type of "fire before it was sown".

That's not right......

Ultraman's works all belong to the genre of "fire before it is broadcast". It's just that Nexus, everyone's expectations are slightly higher.

After all, it took so long to lay the groundwork before!

The official sold millions of copies, adapted the stage play, and performed round after round.

"What the hell is Project N?"

"Why isn't Neo's name Noah, but the strange Nexus?"

"Why is the theatrical version and the TV drama almost released and broadcast at the same time?"

"Why isn't the theatrical version Noah, not Nexus, but Nexus?"

With a stomach full of doubts, the audience decided to watch the "Nexter" movie first in chronological order, and then go home to watch the "Nexus" TV series.

However......

After watching the movie, they were even more confused.

The official, stage play tells the story of Noah. And the big movie tells the story of "Nexus", and the TV drama tells the story of "Nexus".

What the hell?

Three new Olympians at once?

But these three Xinao, except for the similar names, I don't see any connection! What does Yan Tao want to do?

You can't blame the audience!

Without watching TV dramas, who can sort out the relationship between Noah, Nexus and Nexus?

Noah appears in official and stage plays, set in the primeval era.

Nexter appears in the movie, set in modern society. An unknown monster codenamed "THEONE" attacks, and a young man named Jung Shun transforms into "THENEXT" to fight against "THEONE".

You see......

Are the two related?

The movie doesn't say at all where this Ultraman came from and why it has a confrontational relationship with "THEONE".

The PD official has said that this Ultraman is called "Nexter"! You can't be stubborn, this is Noah, right?

So......

Only, the audience of stage plays, and even big movies, really can't understand the relationship between the three.

There must be a work that connects these scattered clues like a "needle" to build a complete world view and a complete setting system.

And this "key" work is "Ultraman Nexus"!

The entire Ultra N plan, all the previous work, is all to pave the way for the debut of "Nexus". Only after watching this work can the audience's doubts be answered.

The plan was a success!

The successive foreshadowing of Noah's stage play and Nexter's movie has aroused the audience's curiosity about the follow-up content of "Project N".

And this curiosity, with the broadcast of Nexus, quickly translated into ratings!

A story about "bond" and "awakening" slowly kicked off in the midst of all the attention......

Brother Prospective is the first to appear!

Nexus, whose style is "very different" from other Austrians, received praise for his debut.

This look is really fresh!

didn't wait for the audience to figure out why Nexus's head was designed with a "small steel helmet......

Brother Prospective has turned red!

To be precise, Brother Zhun has obtained a new form of red, and has also used a new skill that the audience has "never heard of".

Meta Field!

It's a subspace, barren and dead. Scattered with bones and bones, surrounded by a ruined building, it was like a purgatory on earth.

Recognizable by the shape of the building, this is where Nexus was before he launched the "Meta Domain"!

Why?

What happened, and why did Nexus become like this as soon as he opened the Meta Realm?
