Feature Shows Extravaganza - Chapter 994
Omori came quickly.
On the night when he flew to Jiangchuan, Meng Lang invited him to the night market to have a barbecue. After a meal, the two squeezed their feet and talked about business.
In fact, it’s not a serious business…
The news that President Ono is about to retire can be concealed from ordinary employees, but cannot be concealed from senior management. Naturally, Omori has also heard about it.
So before he came to Jiangchuan, he had made corresponding preparations.
“The focus of the next decade may be linkage!”
Meng Lang mentioned: “Multiple knights break the mixed linkage of world views. This is a visible and graspable future.”
“I understand!”
“It is not enough to have ideas. , You have to take action to prove your ability to the audience, so that you can successfully take over the banner of Kamen Rider from Shirakura…”
“You mean, after Kabuto is over, I will be the new knight. Directing?” Omori asked in confusion.
“You misunderstood.”
Meng Lang waved his hand and said with a smile on his face: “Let you prove yourself, but didn’t let you be the first bird! The pick-up knight asked you to shoot, wouldn’t it put you on the fire?”
“So…”
Omori barely understood.
The president meant that the exposure of the new Cavaliers was too high, and the audience expectations were also high, which was not suitable for his “debut”.
So next year there will be two new knights!
Shirakura released a “new knight” project, known as the “Kabuto” takeover, which instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
He took all the pressure away.
At this time, Omori made another Kamen Rider TV series. There is no attention, nor is it a succession of xxx.
Without expectation, why is it disappointed?
The starting point is so low, without the pressure of the previous work, it is easier to get the recognition and praise of the audience.
If the quality is decent, Omori’s first battle is no problem!
There was a successful TV drama base, he took over Shirakura and became the new agent of Kamen Rider, and it was natural.
But there is a problem!
The prerequisite for realizing this plan is that the Kamen Rider produced by Omori must have the same level as the “Receiving Rider”, or even higher finish quality.
Where did the project come from?
“Don’t worry about this, I have asked President Ono to prepare it for you. This knight’s name is Black!” Meng Lang explained.
A dusty plan for many years!
Debut with this work, why can’t Dasen convince the public?
What’s more, this is the two-in-one version of Black and Black rx. If this doesn’t work, then Omori will simply die.
“Okay, I’ll go back and have a look.”
Omori didn’t have much confidence at this time.
He has already thought about it. Go back and take a look at the project proposal given by Mr. Meng. If it doesn’t work, then write another copy.
It’s a matter of the future, you can’t be careless!
After a good chat, Omori, who had a rare visit to Jiangchuan, did not rush back, but visited a few old friends.
Among them is Yan Tao.
After “Altman Max” was over, Yan Tao, who was making milk powder for his children while worrying about the new work, warmly entertained Omori.
The two talked about Ultraman.
It coincided with the premiere of “Seven X” landed on Bird TV, and they had a conversation around this “alternative” Ultraman.
“Very good work!”
After watching the first episode, Omori shook his head and said: “Unfortunately, the children don’t like it.”
“Yeah!”
Yan Tao sighed quietly, and said helplessly: “The times are changing so fast, who can say now? It’s clear, what kind of hero do the children like?”
“When Tiga previously aired, I thought that switching forms was the future of Ultraman. But now, this road seems to have come to an end… “
How come?”
Omori is a staunch supporter of “polymorphism”. He doesn’t think that polymorphism is outdated.
It’s just that the gameplay should be upgraded!
“Dare to ask your Excellency, what’s your opinion?”
Yan Tao rolled his eyes and said, “Do you let me learn Kamen Rider Faiz and add a bunch of accessories to the transforming device?”
“Can’t you?”
Omori smiled: “You Don’t you think that the current transforming device is too monotonous? Is Faiz’s accessory system really not suitable for Ultraman?”
“Don’t mess around…”
“One is a waiting hero, the other is a huge hero, why? Can you confuse it?”
“Don’t care if the body is still huge. After all, Ultraman and Kamen Rider are transformed heroes, aren’t they?”
Omori argued, “Since they are transformed heroes, then I’m a transformer. I made a fuss, what’s the problem?”
Diversified Transformer + Multi-modal Switch, this is the answer given by Omori.
Yan Tao did not agree very much.
But he also felt that the Ultraman Transformer was indeed too monotonous. If you can upgrade, maybe the kids will like it better?
But how to upgrade?
Can Faiz’s accessory system really be used in Ultraman? Or is it a card system like Dragon Knight and Sword?
Yan Tao fell into deep thought.
He seemed to have caught some inspiration, but he was not sure, so he decided to ask Mr. Meng’s opinion.
But President Meng is not at home.
It was Xiao Tao who opened the door for him. Mr. Meng went to the supermarket to buy vinegar and had to wait a while before he came back.
While sitting on the sofa waiting, Yan Tao played the game of “Ultraman Fighting Monsters” with Xiao Tao in order to pass the time.
I saw him picking up a “Gatanjee” and said fiercely: “Tiga, you can’t beat me! Obediently surrender!”
“I didn’t lose!”
Xiao Tao took the Tiga doll in his left hand. He picked up the original doll with his right hand, folded his hands, full of self-belief: “One can’t beat you, then use two! Otter fit, you are finished!”
Is this TM OK?
Your kid deserves to be President Meng’s cub, this shameless ability is no worse than your father!
When Yan Tao was speechless, there was a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he remembered Xiao Tao’s words.
Otter fit?
Doll? !
That’s right, this is it!
Reaching out to snatch Xiaotao’s first generation and Tiga dolls, Yan Tao’s hands trembled with excitement, and the puzzle that had been puzzled for many days was finally answered.
“I know, I know!”
Yan Tao went crazy.
Tao Mi, who had just come out of the kitchen, wiped his apron and was about to greet Yan Tao for dinner, but Yan Tao disappeared.
Xiao Tao looked at her pitifully with his hands empty.
“Mom, my Tiga was snatched by my uncle!”
Tao Mi: “…”
When Meng Lang returned home with a bottle of vinegar, Yan Tao also entered a state of retreat.
He has an idea!
If the existing Ultraman is represented as different “accessories”, it can be a doll, a card, or even a bottle badge keychain…
Anything will do!
Then you can combine any two accessories and change them into different forms.
This is a bit like the “fusion” that often appears in Yu-Gi-Oh. It uses different Ultraman as the fusion material to create a variety of new forms.
“Wonderful!”
When Meng Lang learned of his thoughts, he didn’t care about the trivial matter of “robbing his son’s toy”.
This is the “borrowing” system!
What is the core setting of the new generation? There is no doubt that it is the “Auto Lending” system contributed by Shikali.
Accessory system?
wrong!
This is different from the “accessory system” of Kamen Rider. This is the debt king system derived from “borrowing power”, and it is also the most suitable system for Ultraman!
It can be called the “cornerstone” of the new generation.
Originally, Meng Lang was still thinking that if Yan Tao couldn’t think of this system, he would have to take the time to explain it.
The result…
Omori’s visit to Yan Tao this time not only showed him the direction, but also allowed him to find the most suitable “cutting point.”
Spark doll!
That’s right, Yan Tao’s first identified “power carrier” was a variety of dolls.
In addition to the Otto dolls, there are also various monster dolls.
This is also a surprise!
You don’t need to guess that Yan Tao’s new work project is definitely related to “Ultraman Galaxy”.
It’s just that…
Although the carrier of the doll looks good, it is not the most suitable carrier. It is better to make a capsule than a doll.
“Forget it, take your time…”
Meng Lang pondered, first practice his hands with a doll, and after getting familiar with the operation, he can try more carriers.
Don’t worry now!
Yan Tao came up with this system, and it is still too early to complete the project, or even to prepare for the new work.
Instead of considering this, it is better to think about how to deal with Li Wanbo.
“Seven X” is broadcast!
Unsurprisingly, the show was limited by the subject matter, and it failed to make a big splash. I can only look forward to the awards season.
Meng Lang said.
If the results of “Seven X” are not satisfactory and the sequel is difficult to produce, he will compensate Li Wanbo for a brand new TV series.
Time to fulfill the promise!
Li Wanbo came to the door, and Meng Lang was too embarrassed to cheat, so he had to take out a dusty project from the dusty safe.
This project has been around for some years…
Meng Lang can’t remember exactly when he wrote it. Rough guess, it should be born at the same time as “Metal Hero”.
At least six years!
The main reason why I haven’t thought about development for such a long period of time is also very simple: not enough “profiteering”!
Why does the alienated girl continue to have dystocia? Is it not making money?
That is certainly not.
With the same budget of 100 million, shooting Alien Girl 2 can earn 10%, and shooting other works can earn 50% or even 100%.
With a limited budget, the alienated girl was sacrificed.
In the same way, the reason why this project has been in dust for many years is because its ability to make money is not as good as other works…
But the times are different!
The PD of six or seven years ago, holding a lot of “profiteering IP” in hand, naturally looked down on this bit of mosquito meat.
But six or seven years later, the profiteering IP has basically been developed, and PD has some money left. Even “Alienation Girl 2” has been filmed. Why not film this?
“Star God series?”
Li Wanbo stared at the yellowing plan book in his hands, and asked curiously: “This name…is it a universe star god?”
“Don’t get me wrong, it’s just the same name.”
Meng Lang coughed and explained to him. : “This is a live-action special photo series that combines a variety of elements. The first work is called “Superstar God: Gran Saisha”.”
“Twelve heroes?”
Open the project plan, the first page of the content is written Li Wanbo was shocked.
There are so many people?
The super team has five or six heroes at every turn, which is already very surprising. Unexpectedly, there are more “Super Star Gods”, all of which have twelve constellations.
“A group of three, a total of four races, four giant
Transcendent Star God robots?” Li Wanbo’s eyelids jumped.
This is too similar!
If it hadn’t been for Mr. Meng to emphasize that this is a brand new series, I am afraid he would have thought it was a new work in the “Super Team” series.
“Can this work?”
Li Wanbo glanced roughly, expressing concern: “Team heroes seem to be more popular in Europe and America, and neon acceptance is okay. In our country…”
This is true!
Team heroes are not very popular in China. Even armored warriors are gradually reducing the number of “callers”.
Pulling so many protagonists at once is an unprecedented feat. Li Wanbo expressed concern about whether domestic audiences could accept this setting.
“Relax, no problem.”
Meng Lang encouraged: “Even if I lose, then I lose money. I’m not afraid of what else are you afraid of?”
“I will ask you, why do you want to do it?”
“You have said so, can I refuse? Do it!” Li Wanbo said with a smile.
“That’s right!”
Meng Lang laughed.
Compared with the restless Li Wanbo, his confidence is undoubtedly sufficient.
This is the Star God series!
Although the overall popularity is not as good as the three neon special photo series, even the metal heroes can’t do it.
But this is not a problem with the work.
The three special photo series have decades of fame, and the Star God series was born in 2003. How many years has it developed?
On the one hand, it started late!
On the other hand, there are few works. After “Super Star God” and “Magic Star God”, there is only one “Super Star Fleet”.
The development is late and easy to understand.
As for the scarcity of works, the reasons behind this are complicated… The
time goes back to the beginning of the century. Toho was reluctant to shoot only “monsters” because of “Godzilla” and decided to enter the “special hero” field. .
On the other hand, a certain toy company was also greedy for Bandai’s special hero series, and decided to get in.
The two sides hit it off!
Thus was born the “Star God” series. Many people in the production team are old people from the “Heisei Godzilla” crew. There are also many scenes and even scenes of “tribute to Godzilla” in the play.
Including the design of the giant robot, it also borrowed part of Godzilla’s shape.
Let’s put it this way…
Dongbao teamed up with the toy company, and the strong alliance must be a big fight and divide the special hero market cake.
Did the result arrive?
not at all!
The cake has long been divided between Toei and Tsuburaya. It was only in 2003 that I wanted to join the trade and grab a meal. Do you think everyone is a ghost, Keita Amamiya?
The Star God series has come to an end.
This series has not been followed up so far. The reason has nothing to do with the quality of the work. The main reason is that the producer does not want to shoot.
The work is very popular!
The Magic Star God and the Super Star Fleet are not well evaluated, at least the first work “Super Star God” was a success and was greatly welcomed by the audience.
Unfortunately, it was short-lived.
The reason for Dongbao to give up has nothing to do with PD, and the current special photo market has not reached saturation.
Therefore, Super Star God can shoot.
As for whether the trilogy can be filmed further, it depends on the market performance.
After all, Meng Lang is very realistic.
The purpose of starting a company is to make money, not to do charity. If a project’s income is not good, it will definitely stop the loss in time.
