Mid-February.

The qualifiers for the Pengda Summer Competition came to an end, and the empty self theatrical version of "The Shadow of the Wolf King" was released for three days.

During this time, the dragoon broadcast the second episode.

In this episode, after the mysterious man Ren Akiyama and Shinji escape from the mirror world, the mysterious woman Yui Kanzaki explains his current situation to Shinji and gives him a seal card.

Seal cards are different from contract cards in that they can only seal monsters, which is somewhat similar to self-preservation. The contract card can contract a monster and turn it into a contract beast to fight together.

Shinji returned to the newspaper office in a trance, and after being woken up by Miss Reiko's words, he decided to do something.

The mysterious disappearance of the woman in the department store and the crying little girl outside the locker room strengthened Shinji's thoughts. He said to Unii, "I can fight like him, right?"

"He" refers to the lotus!

Yui understood Shinji's words, and she advised Shinji not to be stupid. Once you contract a monster, there is no turning back, you can only fight desperately.

Shinji then tore off the seal card.

At this time, Uniyi had nothing to say, handed over a whiteboard contract card, and sincerely wished him to live longer.

Using the whiteboard contract card, Shinji made a contract with the Warrior Dragon, upgrading his Kamen Rider form to the big red Warrior Dragon form. Successfully saved Ren, and defeated the spider monster with "Kamen Rider's most fancy knight kick ever".

Then, Lian introduced him to the setting of "fighting monsters and upgrading".

After the contract beast kills another monster, it will devour the power of the Death Mirror Monster, thus becoming more powerful, which is why Lian is eyeing the Peerless Dragon.

Shinji: "Hey!"

Shinji, who just wanted to nod, was suddenly stabbed in the back by Ren. Lian didn't know what was going crazy, and suddenly attacked the "life-saving benefactor".

This is the end of the story of the second episode.

Like the empty self, Dragoon's basic form was upgraded in just one episode. And in this episode, through the narration of Uniyi and Lian, the background setting is basically revealed.

Contract Mirror Monster Battle, after defeating other Mirror Monsters, you can improve the ability of your Contract Beast. There seems to be some kind of "competitive relationship" between Kamen Riders, which is why Ren backstabbed Shinji.

There are still many doubts......

Who is Yui's older brother, Shiro Kanzaki, what exactly are the knights competing with, and what does Yui mean by "you can't survive without fighting"?

And most importantly!

This guy Shinji is obviously the first time to fight, the first time to get a new PD toy, and the first time to use an advent card, why are you so skilled?

Skip the beginner's tutorial and be the protagonist!

However, the Warrior Dragon is really handsome! Kamen Rider Dragoon's first knight kick is also really cool......

This should be the knight kick with the most special effects ever!

There is a dragon around him, and when he kicks out, the dragon also sprang out, and the effect of the special effects is full, so there is really no one.

Seeing this knight kick, the audience's original dissatisfaction with the "card battle" disappeared without a trace.

Although the card battle deviates from the original knight route, it is a bit naïve and easy to cause dissatisfaction among old fans. But this fancy knight kicks, that's really handsome!

Handsome is over, what more bicycle?

Knight fans are counted as one, and they are basically "visual animals". As long as you play well, it doesn't matter if you fight with cards or with your fists and feet, everything is acceptable.

Besides, this card is not a disobedience.

Although the source of the card has not yet been introduced in the play, judging from the contract card handed to Shinji casually by Uniyi, Lian can also transform, and most of this thing is a "mass-produced product".

In other words, it's a tech knight.

The early transhumans, especially the X and Strongman, were similar in nature to dragoons. With the rapid development of science and technology, what happened to the use of fists and feet in the past, but now with cards?

Maybe in a few years, the cards will be obsolete and a new way will be born?

Thanks to the stable performance of the second episode, Dragoon has stabilized the basic market, and his popularity has not declined. The reputation of producer Bai Cang has also changed slightly.

But it depends on the follow-up.

If the follow-up performance is not good, the audience who temporarily shut up will continue to spray white warehouses. Under the banner of "Qingjun's side, get rid of traitors", Baicang sank into Tokyo Bay.

"Calm down!"

Meng Lang also read the comments on the Internet. He was very worried that Bai Cang would be affected, and reassured: "A dragon rider is a dragon rider, you don't have to compare with empty me." You just hold on and keep shooting. ”

"I understand, I haven't released my big move yet. ”

Bai Cang said with a grin: "Once the background of the Battle Royale is sacrificed, those people should honestly shut up. ”

"Then again!"

Meng Lang said curiously: "It's been three days since the theater version of the empty me was released, what is the situation at the box office?"

"Very average......

"On the Neon side, the total box office in three days is 74 million yen. 17.04 million US dollars in North America and 153 million yuan in China. ”

That's pretty average indeed!

The theatrical version of the knight sequence rarely has such a bad score. Although the production cost was recovered, this box office performance was not worthy of the name of "empty me" at all.

"The main thing is that the audience doesn't buy it!"

Bai Cang said helplessly: "Omori has just arrived at the knight team, and he hasn't accumulated enough appeal yet. The audience lacks trust in him and is full of doubts about the quality of the film. ”

"Understandable ......"

Ask yourself, if it's an "IP" work you like, suddenly change to a director you don't know. Then when you buy a ticket to enter, you will definitely be drumming in your heart.

In two days, it will be fine!

With the release of the theatrical version, the audience who watched it basically gave good reviews. Follow-up word-of-mouth fermentation, most of those fans who "hold the currency and wait and see" will flock to the venue.

There is already such a trend!

On the first day of the release of "Shadow of the Wolf King", there were basically no discussion posts on the Internet. Occasionally, a few people discuss, and it is also a question of "whether this movie is good".

After the first day, the discussion went viral.

Regarding the question of "is this movie good", many viewers who have watched it have left messages: "It's good, I recommend going to the theater to see it!"

This is not a PD troll......

If it is really a PD water army, then in addition to touting the movie, you should also have to praise "I love Uncle Meng". These people didn't praise Meng Zai, most of them were tap water.

On the budding website, the number of ratings for "Shadow of the Wolf King" is as high as 12,000, with an average score of 8.1 points.

Most netizens have the same opinion.

This movie does not have as many innovations as "Hatred Horse", nor does it have as many feelings as "Shi Sen Memorial Work". After reading the whole process, there is only one feeling, and that is unpretentious.

The most memorable clip is undoubtedly the tragic death of Sato, who served as an armored experimenter in the final battle. Kaoru took off his coat and ignored Sakurako's persuasion to force his union with the armor.

The "second ride" that everyone ridiculed was Kaoru, and it really became a second ride!

Congratulations!
