Youth and adolescence, these are the two most important stages of life.

During these two phases, everyone's personality, hobbies, and even height and appearance will change drastically. There is also a big difference between aesthetics and drama chasing tastes.

So, you can't stick to the old ways.

Ultraman, who was filmed for "young audiences", has a different style from "young audiences". It is necessary to find the point that young audiences like and make breakthroughs from this point.

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

What kind of Ultraman works do young audiences want to see?

Meng Lang, who claims to be a "young man" but is actually a "middle-aged man", couldn't think of an answer to his question, so he had to ask for help from his young friends.

Gu Miao said that he would like to see an Ultraman who "breaks the rules". No longer fighting for "justice" and "peace", but for yourself.

This one is too extreme.

Meng Lang shook his head and asked Wang Dali again.

"Be stronger!"

Wang Dali is full of regrets about the Leo he played. The Ultraman he wants to see should be that kind of "invincible posture", who he sees in seconds......

"This can be had!"

Meng Lang nodded and said: "Ultraman drama gives people the feeling that although the giant is strong, there are always moments when he is powerless. We break the rules and create a super strong hero, maybe we can get a good response!"

The next one is the "PD group pet" Kun Kun!

Kun Kun has not played the Ultraman human body, and he has not substituted his identity, and his opinion should be the closest to the opinion of ordinary audiences.

"Tell the plot a little deeper!"

"Other Ultramans, to take care of young audiences, the story is told too deeply, but it will be counterproductive. But Ultraman, which is filmed for young audiences, doesn't have to worry about not being able to understand it. ”

Reasonable!

Based on the views of these three people, and then referring to the works of the original time and space, Meng Lang came to a general direction.

Severn X and Severn OV!

These two should be the most suitable targets. But OV and X have different story backgrounds and different production methods, which one should you choose?

Sitting in the office and pondering for a long time, Meng Lang finally decided to make an OV into a "TV special" first, and arrange it to be broadcast in the late-night file of Big Bird Satellite TV, and test the water to see the reaction.

If the response is okay, then continue to shoot down, and Severn X also took advantage of the situation.

If the response is bad, then give up quickly, and it can't affect the reputation of the Seventh Master or even the entire Ultraman series.

Severn OV is not a serial.

To be precise, this series is somewhere between a "theatrical version" and a "special". You can watch it as a theatrical version, or you can watch it as a special broadcast film, whatever you want to say.

There are a total of 16 works in this series.

From "Solar Operations" in March '94 to "Mysterious Evolution Record" in September '02, it took a full eight years to complete.

Depending on the period, the Severn OV series is also divided into several phases. 94 Special, 98 Commemorative Trilogy, 99 Final Chapter Six-Part, and 02 Evolution Five-Part.

Every plot is different!

The entire OV series, the setting is a bit like "Ultraman". Roughly after Severn left Earth, there were no new Ultra Warriors visiting, and the Ultra Garrison has been retained.

Let's do a 94 version of the OV two-part trilogy first!

Although many years have passed, classics are classics after all, and until now, Meng Lang still remembers the story of "Solar Operations".

Many years after Severn left Earth, humanity is facing multiple environmental crises on Earth. Among them, the most lethal is global warming and rising sea levels......

In order to solve this problem, humanity began to seek to save itself. Eliminate dependence on "coal" and "oil" and adopt cleaner and more environmentally friendly solar energy.

But this ran into alien obstacles.

In order to invade the earth, the Pites sent King Airey to release carbon dioxide and high-calorie gases to destroy the existing solar equipment in an attempt to deteriorate the earth's environment.

At this time, the Ultra Guard discovered Severn.

He fell from the sky, didn't know what he had experienced, and was covered in injuries and entered a state of suspended animation. Lying quietly in the warehouse, motionless and lifeless.

"Regiment!"

Seeing the silent Saiwen in front of him, remembering his heroic fighting posture, Captain Furuhashi could not hide his sadness.

This scene is definitely the most heart-wrenching moment of this OV.

Meng Lang still remembers that when he saw this scene through VCD when he was a child, tears couldn't stop falling. I almost thought that Severn was dead and could never stand up again......

However, the heart-wrenching is still to come.

In order to wake up Severn, the Ultra Guard plans to transfer the solar energy outside the atmosphere to Severn.

This plan was destroyed by monsters.

King Eyre slaughtered everywhere, destroying the warehouse and burying the motionless Severn in the rubble.

At that time, Meng Lang's heart was broken.

Fortunately, the road of heaven and earth, a hand that gradually rose in the ruins, proved that Severn was not dead. He slowly stood up in the expectant eyes of everyone.

Solar energy saved Severn!

Severn, who gained energy, easily defeated King Eyre and the Pitts, and rescued Annu's sons, and the story ended successfully.

This story is full of irony!

Severn's OV is very in-depth and has received numerous praises. The irony of the solar campaign is the issue of environmental protection.

There's no Ultraman in reality!

Suppose humans do exactly the same thing as the Pitters. Then who should save this earth?

But then again......

The appearance of Annu in 94OV is indeed very unpleasant. Although the audience knows very well that this Annu is not Bi Anu, after all, it is "a parallel world where no other Ultra warriors come to Earth", and it is normal for Annu to marry.

But it's just not cool!

The sister-in-law of the seventh master, why do you say that if you give it away, you will give it away? If this is put in the online article, the proper plot of "sending a girl" will poison thousands of Shennong's clans.

Meng Lang didn't understand this wave of operations.

Even if it's a parallel world, you can't just give the heroine away!

It was sent out in 94, and in 07 Saiwen X ended with a "reunion" after 40 years, and in 08 the super eight theater version, he still got married and had children in the parallel world, isn't there something wrong with it?

Parallel worlds also have to talk about basic principles!

Meng Lang couldn't get used to this, he would rather delete Annu's role, enter the cold palace and not give her a cameo opportunity, and he would not easily give her an ending.

The same is true of parallel worlds......

This scene must be changed, Annu's son has been changed to Captain Tongshan's son, the overall plot development has not changed much, and the audience will not be disgusted when they watch it.

As for the Annu......

Delete the scene and don't give her a cameo opportunity. Anyway, it's a parallel world, when this world doesn't have a vermilion star cluster, and there is no Julianu.

After the revision, Severn's first OV "Solar Operation" project was released.

Considering the duration and shooting cycle, this OV does not need to find another director, Meng Lang can complete it by himself.

Anyway, it's just a few dozen minutes of play.

After the filming of Tiga, I squeezed out 2-3 hours a day, and it was about two weeks to shoot.

If it doesn't work, that's a month!
