Feature Shows Extravaganza

The Sharpleys are weaklings.

Even among the cosmic beings, he is considered a relatively weak one. He first appeared in Severn, and also appeared in the TV series Ax and Orb.

The image of this spaceman has been changed several times. Initially, he was a weirdo wearing a fencing mask and a gold foil coat with a special badge on his chest. During the Super Galaxy Legend period, Tsuburaya also made a second-generation Sharpei alien wearing a silver foil coat.

This design was later adopted.

Pengda's version of the Sharpei star has a silver foil coat. In terms of shape, it looks more like a silver-clad Kamen Rider without a belt.

The animated character also has the same look, except that he has armor on his hands and is set to be a robot.

This is really a design crash.

The designer followed Meng Lang's instructions to design the Sharpei star, and the finished product was successfully registered as an image patent. Before this, no one knew that similar characters had appeared in other works.

After Meng Lang learned what happened, he took the initiative to contact the producer of the animation to discuss how to handle the matter.

Because neither side of the matter is reasonable.

Pengda came out relatively late, but it holds image patents. The other party came out earlier, but they didn’t have a patent in hand.

In addition, neither the Sharpei star nor the animated character were particularly important to both parties, and the matter was settled easily.

The two companies issued a joint statement.

This incident is purely coincidental, and the design of the leather case was not copied. Pengda will remake the Sharpei star into the image of the animated character to represent the two parties shaking hands and making peace.

This is an image linkage!

Although there were constant turmoils in the middle, the final result was very good. After all, both parties gained sufficient exposure during this turmoil.

Like the Seven TV series, because it was not premiered in China, there has never been much discussion about it. But after the plagiarism scandal emerged, the number of fans paying attention to Severn surged, and Meng Lang received many private messages asking when Severn would be broadcast.

It's almost time!

Seven's TV series has a total of 48 episodes.

The original version has one more episode than this one, and the one episode that is missing is, to be precise, the banned episode 12 Giving Love to the Planet.

Seven is Showa Ori's most heavy-handed and depressing work, and it is also a work where Eiji Tsuburaya and Tetsuo Kaneshiro let themselves go. They tried to add more discussion of human nature and irony of reality to the anti-war theme of the first generation.

This also led to Severn encountering great resistance both in Neon and overseas.

Take China as an example. All Saiwen TV dramas seen through formal channels (pirated online disks are not counted) are abridged versions. Most of the episodes have been cut to varying degrees.

You can't cross the line, it's a matter of principle.

In the episode Dedicate Love to the Planet, Meng Lang is a crooked nut. If it is filmed, the impact will not be as big as Tsuburaya. But it will also be resisted by the neon audience, after all, it is talking about nuclear perversion.

He didn't want to commit suicide, so he simply deleted it.

What benefits does filming this episode bring him? If you mess with some radical elements, you'll be in trouble. Although almost all the people who were bombed were already dead, as long as there is one left, this joke cannot be made.

So his version of Saiwen only has 48 episodes!

It’s not very long, only about ten more episodes than the first generation. In addition, Severn is not as hasty as the first generation. Full preparations were made before shooting started, and the shooting progress was very fast.

20 episodes have been produced so far!

You can consider launching it in China, and choose the Spring Festival schedule at the end of the year. As a fun day for the whole family, Severn must have done well in the ratings.

The premiere platform has not yet been determined.

The main reason is that Director Tao is on a business trip and has not come back yet. Jiangchuan TV Station has coveted Severn for a long time, and Meng Lang is willing to hand it over to them if the conditions are good.

Shop around!

The incident of designing a car crash made Meng Lang extra vigilant. In order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, he plans to register all future classic monster images.

This can be considered a precautionary measure.

As a monster company, Tsuburaya has designed countless monster images. While many of the monsters are refurbished versions of old leather sets, there are also quite a few new monsters.

From the first generation to Mebius, every Ultra work of Tsuburaya will leave a big suspense for the audience, that is, what new monsters will appear in this work?

Membius was a watershed moment.

Before Little Dream, the audience will be looking forward to the debut of new monsters. After Little Dream, the audience will look forward to the new episode of Whipping the Corpse.

It’s so realistic!

Although Ultraman used to whip corpses, it was only once in a while. After that, Ultraman would often kill corpses, and only occasionally appear a new monster.

This also reflects the current financial situation.

There are many monsters that people can remember, both Showa and Heisei series. Especially the BOSS monsters in each work are really hard to forget.

Most of these monsters have specific design rules. If someone figured out this pattern, Meng Lang would be in danger.

The monster image has been registered by others, so he can't copy it, so he can only ask the designer to redesign it. Not to mention the time and effort required, the redesigned monster may not be as good as the original.

I have no choice but to register!

It's not just Ultraman, it's the same with Kamen Rider. Subsequent images of weirdos and knights need to be registered in advance to avoid being intercepted.

He plans to implement a shoot one, make one note, one system. Specifically, for series such as Ultraman and Kamen Rider, when filming one film, he needs to make the leather case and model of the next one, and register the next one at the same time. An image patent.

This will save you a lot of trouble.

And this is also the norm in the industry. Like Tsuburaya and Aunt Azuma, after entering the new century, they also embarked on the road of pre-registration.

It's just that they played it very advanced.

Take Aunt Dong as an example. For the design of the new knight, they will make N plans and then register them uniformly. Before the shooting is about to start, the main knight is remade based on the already designed knight. As for the design registered early, it becomes a second knight or even a third knight.

Everyone knows the reason for this.

Business competition is cruel!

There are billions of people on the planet, but not all of them are smart enough. If someone fails to take precautions and deliberately causes trouble, what will you do?

More than just a monster from a TV show!

Monsters that appear in OVs and big movies also need to be considered. It's just that the amount of this part is not large, and it is a drop in the bucket compared to TV dramas.

How normal is this!

Most of the monsters that appear in Ultraman the Movie are zombie-whipped TV monsters. Even if there are new monsters, they won't have many scenes.

There is only one Beria!

Looking at all the theater villains produced by Tsuburaya, Beria has more scenes. If it were any other villain, it would be gone after a theatrical version.

It's not like Beria. After finishing the theatrical version, he can still go to the TV series to find a son and live a prosperous life.
