Chapter 753: "Rebellious" Bai Cang
This year's Superhero Festival was held in Los Angeles. Because of the distance and trivial matters, Meng Lang did not go to the scene.
But he watched the live stream.
I have to admit that the unique party culture of the West makes them extremely motivated to participate in such activities.
A variety of leather cases can be seen everywhere on the scene.
Fans dressed up in their favourite outfits and lined up in front of Taurus Paradise. The footage captured by the drone at the scene really shocked many people.
Those who know are not surprised.
If you don't know, you think it's a movie set. If you look at Ultraman and Kamen Rider running all over the place, it's even more lively than a comic con.
Of course, the excitement is the excitement.
This year's Superhero Festival still left a regret for the audience.
The actor who played the dragoon did not arrive at the scene of the superhero festival on time because of the "visa refusal". This made many fans who love dragon riding feel extremely disappointed.
"Why was it rejected?"
"The consular officer suspects him of immigrating tendencies?"
When the actor exposed the reason for the visa refusal on his social page, American netizens quit.
People are getting a lot of neon fire, and they don't know how much money they make every year, so they need to immigrate to the United States and struggle again? The reason of the visa officer is pure nonsense.
This has a big impact.
Especially after the PD official also intervened, more secrets were exposed. It turned out that the visa officer was suspected of racial discrimination, and the reason for the refusal was simply disgusted with "Asian" people squeezing out his son's college place.
Then, he got cold.
Racial discrimination is an "unspoken rule" in North America. But you must not say it and act on it, or you will die.
This is not an isolated case.
When Du Fang went to North America for the first time before, when she was checking for North American moths, she almost refused a visa because she suspected that she "went to the United States to give birth".
If it weren't for the leader above shouting to stop, Meng Lang would have almost pinched with the consulate.
In short, this kind of thing is all too common.
The dragoon didn't come this year, so it will be held in China next year. When the time comes, give him a little more time to make up for this year's regrets.
Speaking of dragooning, there have been a series of changes recently.
First of all, it's the plot.,After the appearance of the third knight pincer ride.,The fourth knight.,The Kamen Rider Iron Soldier of the contract mirror monster is the "Colossal Bull".,The fifth knight.,The Kamen Rider Sea Ray whose contract mirror monster is the "Evil Submarine Ray".,The sixth knight Kai and the seventh knight King Snake.,Appeared one after another.。
It's only a dozen episodes.
Although it is known, the theme of Dragoon is roughly of the "Battle Royale" type. That is, the knights scuffle with each other and in the end only one person survives.
But this speed of "pushing new" is still too scary.
And there are too many of them!
Before I remembered the information of the last new knight, I didn't even remember the name, and the new knight came again.
So repetitive, the audience is a little tired.
For this reason, the ratings, which originally peaked in the third episode, gradually declined with the broadcast of subsequent episodes.
Before it was expected to surpass the empty self!
As the curve descended, the dragoon got farther and farther away from the peak of the empty me. The production team was lifeless, full of loss and confusion.
"Is this going in the wrong direction?"
Shirakura was very annoyed and didn't know what was wrong. Why is it that continuous innovation can't retain the audience in the end?
"Don't overthink it. ”
Meng Lang was relieved: "I'm also watching the latest episodes. There's nothing wrong with the plot setting, I can assure you of that. ”
"The reason for the decline in ratings is mainly because the audience can't bear it. The stalk of the two episodes of Blade Live, it sounds funny at first glance, isn't it scary when you think about it?"
Before that!
Aside from the airwave girl Tacker, there is no Kamen Rider who is "killed in battle" in the true sense. Even the knights have been resurrected in the official manga.
Although Hakura has always emphasized that Kamen Rider Dragoon does not have the concept of a villain. All people are fighting for survival, not for justice.
But in the hearts of the audience, except for Shinji and Ren, other knights can be regarded as villains.
Using "Kamen Rider" as a villain is enough to block the audience's heart. If this "villain" is still dead, it will be even more heartbroken......
This is not a new decade for Heisei!
The knightly villains of the new decade, they are all emerging. The audience watched more, and they got used to this setting, and there were not so many emotional changes.
But at this time, "Kamen Rider" is still the hero of the audience. When you think of Kamen Rider, you immediately think of positive words such as "hero" and "idol".
Hakura came up with a setting of "Kamen Riders fighting each other to survive", which is definitely fresh, but it also shatters the previous conclusion that "Kamen Rider = Justice".
The audience needs a period of adaptation.
After this period of adaptation, when their ability to bear it increases, the ratings will naturally increase.
This happened with the original.
When Dragoon was broadcast, it was also the peak of the first three episodes, and the novel setting received a good response. Then it slowly slipped until the bottom of episode 29, and then rebounded and rebounded again.
Therefore, Meng Lang was not in a hurry.
Because he knows that temporary success or failure doesn't mean anything. After this time, the ratings will rebound sooner or later.
Of course, there are also mistakes in Shirakura.
In the original Dragoon, each knight's identity experience is different. Some of them are policemen, lawyers, and even fugitives, and the purpose of the fight is different.
For example, Uncle Snake, he just wants to fight.
But here in Baicang, the characters of many knights are too template-based, and there are even some small bugs. I can't see it at first glance, but after watching it a few times, I still feel that it is not as good as the original.
He can't be blamed for that.
Even if Meng Lang is on the side, you can copy the original homework. Bai Cang has never read the original version, and there are always some discrepancies between his understanding and the supervision of the original work.
Perhaps, there is also a "rebellious" mentality?
When I was filmed at the beginning, because Meng Lang attached great importance to this drama, he would give guidance on almost every detail.
"Not here, change it to this ......"
"This paragraph should be filmed like this......"
"Listen to me, change it to ...... here"
Meng Lang interfered too much, which may have made Bai Cang feel a sense of restraint. obviously has so many ideas, but is limited by Mr. Meng's fingers, and it is inevitable that he will feel aggrieved.
So this time, Meng Lang loosened the restriction slightly, and he couldn't wait to realize his idea and implanted too much personality.
The reason why Shi Sen couldn't wait to leave the knight team after filming strongman may also have this reason.
Meng Lang also realized.
I have read the original version, so in many places, after finding something inconsistent, the first thing I thought about was how to correct it, and I didn't consider the thoughts of Bai Cang and others at all.
They haven't seen the original!
So in their eyes, Mr. Meng's behavior is very good.
Since you paid me to film, why don't you trust me? How do you know if I'm filming well or not, and if it's not broadcast?
