Feature Shows Extravaganza - Chapter 960
Meng Lang never dreamed that SpongeBob could be included in the “Baby” series by George.
But think about it carefully…
Teletubbies, Garden Babies, Sea… SpongeBob? ! This name is quite reasonable to say that it is a family!
It’s just that the span is a bit big!
The first is the content carrier, from live-action dramas to cartoons. The second is to cover the age group, extending from preschool to the whole group of teenagers.
[Biquge www.xbqg5200.info] How did he think of it?
With a curiosity, Meng Lang dialed George’s phone and learned some unknown behind-the-scenes stories from him.
First of all, this is not his plan.
After George returned to Europe and took over the content production department of PD Europe, he devoted himself to the production of the third season of “Teletubbies” and the second season of “Garden Babies”.
Until six months ago…
also graduated from the “Lotus Academy”, one of the three most proud students of Mengzi, one of the ministers of Tuogu left to the little black pig, and the content production director of PD North America, Robert, invited George to North America to make a guest appearance in Birdman. Team Jetman.
During this trip to North America, he not only saw the “ambitious” Birdman team, but also met a group of outstanding North American producers under the recommendation of Robert.
At that time, it happened that a US cable television channel “Nickelodeon” “mainly aimed at children and teenagers”, also known as “Nick International Children’s Channel”, held a cartoon exhibition.
They invited PD to participate.
Robert told George that in addition to “home-made dramas”, PD North America has to introduce and distribute a large number of PD dramas.
The quality of PD dramas that can be imported from overseas is usually not bad, and they are very popular in major TV stations.
Although FOX is the first partner, their schedule is limited and they can’t eat so many PD dramas. Therefore, cable children’s channels like Nick have become their first choice.
Nick very much wanted to win “Ultraman Gaia” to expand the subscription business, and sent an invitation letter to the exhibition, which also meant to win PD.
“Then shall we go?”
“Go, why not!”
So Robert took George and participated in this cartoon exhibition.
Robert is a big hit!
As soon as he showed up, he was surrounded by an enthusiastic crowd. George, who was alone, had to walk around the exhibition area alone.
Not to mention, it’s really rewarding!
An animator who claims to be a “marine biologist” is selling ideas to the guests, but few people are willing to talk to him.
“Even the story of a fire on the seabed and a shower on the seabed can be imagined. I doubt very much, where are you marine biologists from?”
“It’s ridiculous!”
“What you said seems to have nothing to do with ocean knowledge. Crab opens a burger restaurant on the seabed, are you crazy or am I crazy?”
“Nick Cartoon Studio, has approved my creativity…”
“Then how much are they going to invest?” The
man was silent.
Although the Nick Cartoon Production Company passed his project approval, to be honest, with Nick Cartoon’s distressed finances, it is impossible to invest huge sums of money in this “trash fish” project.
Just as he felt disappointed by this, a well-dressed and well-mannered European gentleman handed him his business card.
“Sir, do you have time?”
“I’m George from PD Europe. I’m very interested in your project. Can I take time to chat?”
“Of course!”
After a period of creative sales, it finally attracted a reliable investor. Although this gentleman seemed unable to be the master, it was an opportunity anyway.
Stephen was pleased to attend the appointment.
The two met in a secluded coffee shop and talked about deeper details.
George finds it interesting!
Living on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, a marine animal named Beechburg is living a life of “subversive imagination”. This setting is simply awesome!
In particular, Stephen’s description of each role.
SpongeBob SquarePants, who can always cause and solve troubles, has a very low IQ, like a big pie star of a second fool, an artistic octopus, and a crab boss who loves money like life… It’s
so interesting!
After roughly understanding the idea of the project, George learned of the many dilemmas faced by Stephen.
The first is the shortage of manpower!
He and his studio, attached to the “Nick Cartoon Production Company”, have only twelve people in total.
The second is insufficient funding!
Nick Cartoon Production Company, affiliated to Nick International Children’s Channel. I have done a lot of bad animations over the years, and I have lost a lot of money. It is impossible to invest heavily.
“Then let me take over!”
“Mr. George, I appreciate your willingness to help me through the difficulties. But I have to remind you that this project belongs to Nick Cartoon…”
“OK! I get it!”
George Standing up, he said to Stephen: “I will write an email to the president, we will be colleagues soon!”
Stephen was puzzled.
But soon, his doubts were answered.
Funded by PD Investment Holding Group, PD North America is a matchmaking company, and the PD European division wholly acquired Nick Cartoon Production.
Don’t ask… Just ask
, the money ability!
Nick Cartoon Production Company, not only did not have a handy work, but also owed a large debt to the bank. PD is willing to take over, why might they not sell?
So Stephen went to Paris.
He and his team have won George’s attention. Not only promised a high budget, but also gave them a satisfactory “settling-in allowance.”
What can we say about this condition?
So far, SpongeBob has become the third independent work in the “Baby” series under PD Europe, and its status is equivalent to Teletubbies and Garden Baby.
“This is really…” After
learning the cause and effect of the whole incident, Meng Lang didn’t know what to say.
It is worthy of being “Tuogu Minister”!
George’s vision was really amazing, and he was full of courage. After confirming that the project was going well, he hurriedly told Chen Huan to make an acquisition.
Judging from this operation, George is worthy of being a personal disciple of Meng Lang. The master’s skills have not been learned, but he has learned to miss it!
This is a good leak!
SpongeBob, that is one of the most well-known IPs in the “movie animation” industry. Since its launch in 1999, it has been loved and sought after by audiences around the world.
Moreover, SpongeBob has another characteristic.
Audiences who like to watch SpongeBob SquarePants are not necessarily children, but may also be adults.
A media in the previous life conducted a similar survey, and finally came to the conclusion: classic animations such as SpongeBob SquarePants, Cat and Mouse, Donald Duck, adult audiences and children are divided into half!
Of course, this is in the United States.
Different countries have different cultures, and the proportions in other countries and regions may also be different. But in any case, the adult audience of this animation is by no means a small number.
This is a treasure!
With this “yellow sponge” in charge, PD Europe will not have to worry about revenue issues for the next 20 years.
Without joking,
just take an object, what kind of spoon building block refrigerator magnet… Just print the SpongeBob squarepants pattern and it will sell well all over the world!
IP influence is immeasurable!
“Well done! At the end of the year, I will give you a two-ton medallion!”
“Forget it…”
George has a black line and a two-ton medallion, so he must not be crushed. what? President Meng is really joking!
Besides, SpongeBob hasn’t aired yet.
Who knows if the grades are good?
There are medals for good grades, but what about bad grades? Then can’t be chopped into meat by the senior group?
It’s too early to say this now!
Meng Lang could also guess George’s thoughts. There must be a medal, but it can’t be sent to him now, lest others gossiping.
When the SpongeBob Squarepants broke out and proved that George’s decision was correct, it would not be too late to award him!
Speaking of which… It is
also a direct disciple of Meng Zi, who also participated in the Nick Cartoon Show. Why didn’t Robert find gold?
It seems that he has yet to improve!
Because of SpongeBob SquarePants, Meng Lang remained “excited” for several days, shocking the entire crew of “Super Galaxy Legend”.
“Urine test?”
“No need to test, the result of the urine test came out! It’s all stimulants, not a drop of urine…”
“Eh? Didn’t Viagra be tested?”
“You have enough!”
Meng Lang interrupted: ” Don’t think I can’t hear you, move quickly! Whoever is lazy, won’t use it tomorrow!”
Typical public revenge… The
big guys rolled their eyes, and honestly followed the instructions to move the camera to the best shooting angle.
Now Meng Lang is satisfied!
Since the shooting of “Super Galaxy Legend”, it has finally come to the final battle, Cerro VS Beria!
This scene is very important. It is related to the quality of the entire film. Everyone attaches great importance to it. Meng Lang is the same.
He activated eight seats!
When the holster actor moves, there are eight angles to show his style, from which he can select the shot that best fits the mood of the decisive battle and is most pleasing to the audience.
The decisive battle is the Avia!
Whether it’s Cerro or Beria, they flew around in the fight. Diaoweiya is a simple and rude solution, and it also saves money.
Of course, it won’t last long.
The whole decisive battle was divided into two stages.
The first stage is Cerro VS Beria. This stage focuses on close combat, supplemented by the light head dart, which needs to be applied to Via.
In the second stage of Cerro VS Peleidola, then we don’t need Avia, it’s all on post synthesis special effects.
The first stage went well.
Beria was knocked down with lava and temporarily exited the field. Just as everyone cheered and felt that Beria had been wiped out by Cerro, the Hundred-body monster Peleudola appeared!
Then, Cerro picked up the Spark Tower core.
The first generation Ultraman exclaimed: “The Divine Light has chosen Siro!”
Then, Siro, who was full of power and exuding colorful brilliance, turned around to meet Belledora, and killed him with the cooperation of others.
To be honest… The
second stage was the best shot.
Because of this scene, there are almost no difficulties, all relying on post-production special effects. The actors only need to set the pose and wait for a while.
“CUT!”
“Thank you teachers!”
Meng Lang stood up and smiled to everyone: “Super Galaxy Legend, complete!”
“Oh roar!”
“Come!” With an
order, the set instantly plunged into a sea of joy. The holster actors stood side by side, holding bouquets and standing in a row for photos.
Meng Lang ordered a feast for everyone!
After eating and drinking, the crew that had been tired for several months was officially disbanded. Everyone went back to their homes and looked for their mothers, leaving only Meng Lang alone to sort out the materials.
Ma Teng took a look.
“Is this done?” he asked.
“Otherwise?”
Meng Lang rolled his eyes and said, “If you don’t go out on location, there are very few literary and drama works. How long do you think you can film?”
“That’s true !”
Ma Teng muttered, and then asked: “Then it will be finished now, in time for the New Year. Is the file released?”
“Are you thinking about fart?”
“The later stage is the difficulty! This is almost the twelfth lunar month, and the Lunar New Year file is definitely too late. The most ideal schedule is also the beginning of the school season…”
Makes sense!
The difficulty of “Super Galaxy Legend” is not the pre-production, but the post-production. How long does it take to render so many special effects scenes?
The Lunar New Year files are definitely too late.
But this does not mean that there is no PD work involved in this year’s Lunar New Year file.
There are also G4 plans!
Ma Teng came to Meng Lang this time to report to him about the release schedule of the movie theater version of “Kamen Rider Ajito: G4 Project”.
“It has been determined that it is the Lunar New Year’s stall!”
Ma Teng said confidently: “This year’s Lunar New Year’s stall, there is no noteworthy opponent. This time, the box office champion is in order!”
“Perhaps, I can compete for the global weekly box office champion! “
Oh? So confident?”
Meng Lang curled his lips and said: “Have you seen the film? How do you feel?”
“Cool and exciting!”
Ma Teng danced and said, “The G4 leather case is more beautiful than G3-X. The value is more than one level higher. And Dasen also used a lot of explosion scenes, which is quite exciting!”
“It looks very good…”
Meng Lang rubbed his shoulders and said, “Dasen likes big scenes. This is normal, you know. How much did he burn?”
“Five billion?”
“Almost!”
Meng Lang said vaguely: “Not counting the announcement, about 500 million yen. Counting the announcement, at least 1.5 billion can be paid back.
” In recent years, the local movie theater version of Neon has rarely had works with a box office of over 1 billion yen.”
“That’s okay!”
Ma Teng said with a smile: “The neon film industry is in a downturn. North America! The world’s number one + the world’s second ticket warehouse, how easy
it is to make money!” “Speaking lightly, I’m afraid I will be beaten up by the wandering moon!”
“The wandering moon?”
Ma Teng frowned, “It seems like Is it a science fiction movie? The crew is very poor, how could it explode?”
“I guess…”
Meng Lang really guessed it.
He didn’t know whether this wandering moon was the movie in his memory. Anyway, the name is quite similar, and it is also adapted from a well-known domestic science fiction writer.
If it’s just a coincidence, it’s nothing.
If it is the work in memory, G4 plans to be released in time for the Lunar New Year festival, and most of it will become a “sacrifice.”
Of course, he will not change the schedule.
Not to mention whether this speculation is true or not, even if it is true, it has little effect.
In the final analysis, PD does not eat the box office.
You don’t want to watch movies. As long as you buy G4 toys or peripheral derivatives, you will be Meng Zi’s good brother for life!
China’s box office has bounced, and there are also European, North American and neon ticket warehouses!
All rushed?
Then let’s burn DVD video discs, sell them to TV stations, and put big bird video “for a fee”, can we always get some blood back?
Nothing to worry about!
