Feature Shows Extravaganza

On the eve of Labor Day, TBS announced the list of summer evening dramas, and the much-anticipated Mirror Man was on the list.

After waiting for so long, it finally started airing.

TBS still chose the giant hero route. During the promotion process, it deliberately leaned closer to Ultraman and described Mirror Superman as the same kind as Ultraman, which aroused the curiosity of many fans.

There is something wrong with this promotional copy!

Mirror Superman should break free from the shackles of Ultraman instead of being tied together. Based on TBS's promotion method, the audience watched the first episode with high expectations and was probably completely blown away.

What the hell is this!

The set image of Mirror Superman is far from the Ultraman in the public mind. TBS's propaganda method is undoubtedly digging its own grave.

Meng Lang guessed correctly!

On the first Sunday in May, the first episode of Mirror Superman was broadcast. In this episode, the invaders from the universe sent the monster Steel Dragon Aian. The protagonist Kyotaro Kagami used the relic given to him by his father to transform into Mirror Superman and fight.

There is so much to cover in this episode.

The first is the origin of Mirror Superman. Mirror Kyotaro was originally an ordinary reporter. When he went out to report on the news of whirlwind attacking a small town, he accidentally discovered alien invaders.

Returning to the home of Dr. Royal Hand where he was staying, the doctor told him a secret. The invader he discovered was the culprit who killed his father.

Your father is a two-dimensional person!

After this setting was thrown out, the audience's interest increased greatly. Two-dimensional people and three-dimensional people get married and have children? We at Neon like this kind of tone.

The doctor has an extraordinary background and privately formed an investigation organization called SGM. Kagami Kyotaro found it difficult to accept his life experience for a while, so he accidentally entered the mirror world and obtained the relic given to him by his father.

A mysterious pendant!

The so-called two-dimensional people are more like a gimmick. After finishing the early setting, we followed the old path of Ultraman.

Discovering monsters - monsters causing chaos - SGM action - Mirror Superman transformation - defeating monsters...

Forget about following the old path of Ultraman. After all, Ultraman has so many fans, which proves that this model has a large audience. But the question is, you didn’t tell the story well, and the leather case is ugly. Wouldn’t it be good for the audience to watch Ultraman directly?

A miserable failure!

Although Meng Lang didn't get the statistics, he learned from various channels that Mirror Superman's premiere was a disaster.

Let alone defeat Kamen Rider X, it is estimated that it will be difficult to even recover the production cost.

TBS also panicked and began to investigate the areas where viewers were dissatisfied and strive to make adjustments in the next episode. Except for the holster which is fixed and cannot be changed, other parts can be changed.

The classic three minutes setting?

no problem! After receiving the feedback, TBS immediately changed Mirror Superman's belt to increase the sparkle of gems. Limit Mirror Superman's activity time to the classic three minutes.

Thin story line?

no problem! TBS fired the screenwriter overnight and pulled the script from the scrap case written by the Pengda screenwriting team to ensure that it is an original ultra story.

The second episode will be broadcast on the next Sunday.

After the revision, the decline in ratings finally stopped. But the audience was still dissatisfied and made many demands on TBS.

Most importantly, change the holster!

This damn thing is too ugly!

It is said that there is no harm without comparison. Compared with Mirror Superman, Ultraman suddenly became a handsome guy with clear features and beautiful eyes.

This is hard to change!

At any rate, two episodes were filmed. If the leather case is drastically changed later, the first two episodes will have to be reshot. Mirror Superman has not recouped its capital yet, so it would be foolish to continue investing money. Moreover, it takes time to make a new leather case, which will delay the filming schedule and the audience will definitely complain.

TBS is too difficult!

I was too full of words before, but now I can only bite the bullet and finish filming, not daring to cut it in half. Although ANB continues to ridicule, Mirror Superman still has hope of making money!

This is really interesting!

Mirror Superman's ratings are hovering on the edge of life and death. Although it is not comparable to Kamen Rider, TBS can still make money by relying on subsequent derivatives and copyrights.

But this is not what TBS wants!

Mirror Superman has only one mission, which is to defeat Kamen Rider X head-on and make ANB completely fall out of favor. As for making money, it doesn’t matter.

Unfortunately, Kamen Rider is too strong.

It's impossible to beat the Cavaliers, so try to make some money. The Waterloo encountered by Mirror Superman made TBS extremely disappointed, and the carefully conceived sequel plan was torn into pieces by the president.

They didn’t want to take pictures, but Pengda wanted to take pictures.

Meng Lang came to the door and wanted to take over the Mirror Superman series. TBS didn't bother to consider the pros and cons, and simply sold the production rights to PD at a low price.

Mirror Knight can have it!

Meng Lang didn't take advantage. The Mirror Knight was just a supporting role. It didn't matter whether he was there or not. He just saw TBS in such pain, and he felt soft-hearted before lending a helping hand.

Why bother to save your brothers?

Mirror Superman is half-dead, but TBS doesn't want to cut him in half to make people laugh. Therefore, subsequent episodes will continue to be produced until the end of episode 51.

Pengda also wants to introduce this drama.

Mirror Superman's encounter in Neon can only be blamed on the publicity strategy formulated by TBS. If you change the method, the result may be much better.

There may be a market in China!

But Meng Lang wasn't too sure. After all, the original version of Mirror Superman was not available on domestic TV platforms. He couldn't tell whether domestic audiences would accept Mirror Superman.

Let’s give it a try first!

Anyway, the price of TBS is very low, so it’s not a loss to buy it and burn it to DVD. The level of ratings has no impact on Pengda at all.

Don't rush now, wait until TBS is finished filming before introducing it. Just like Kamen Rider

Speaking of which, the Kamen Rider series is really weird. The currently introduced Kamen Rider and Kamen Rider V3 are both Vigil Champions!

The prime-time slot is submissive, but the late-night slot is heavy-handed. No matter if it's a mother-in-law drama or a historical drama, once it's past twelve o'clock in the morning, kneel down to the knight!

Jiangchuan Children's Channel once rebroadcast Kamen Rider V3 at 20:00 in the evening, and the ratings barely exceeded 1, being beaten by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas of the same period. Kamen Rider was replayed N times at 1 o'clock in the morning, with the highest ratings of 1.81%!

It’s so sexy!

If only Jiangchuan Children's Channel was like this, it would make sense. But other TV stations have similar situations, which is confusing.

Cavaliers fans = vigil champions?

Mengzi can't guess, it can only be attributed to the fact that today's young people like to stay up late. In any case, the ratings are still so high after being replayed N times, which is worthy of praise!

It seems that all Pengda dramas have this characteristic!

Except for a few dramas, the ratings of other works are guaranteed no matter how many times they are replayed.

A bit like the 86 version of Journey to the West?

It has not reached the heights of Journey to the West, probably like Bright Sword and Wulin Gaiden. Even if it is replayed many times, the audience still likes to watch it, and the ratings of replays can suppress the classic works of new dramas.
