Feature Shows Extravaganza

This is a special hero.

After the broadcast of Ultraman Returns, Tsuburaya swept away the decline that had been dormant for many years and became full of ambition.

Ace was born as a result.

As Jack's successor, Tsuburaya has high hopes for Ace and is eager to build on Jack's work.

Therefore, they gave the new Ace new elements that are different from previous works, including male and female transformation.

Tsuburaya calls it a perfect transformation!

The scriptwriter at that time proposed the concept of the perfect Ultraman that transcends the gender differences between men and women. This idea was approved by Tsuburaya, and the two-person transformation was born.

There is also an interesting setting.

This work, based on the Galactic Federation, for the first time integrates the world view of Mirror Superman and other heroic works of Tsuburaya.

Tsuburaya is really too strong!

Meng Lang sometimes wondered whether there was a reborn person hidden in Yuangu Company? Otherwise, there is no way to explain Tsuburaya’s advanced ideas.

In addition to the two-person combination and the fusion of world views, Tsuburaya also added a female team member to Ace, which greatly improved the current situation of Ultraman's yang is strong and yin is weak.

Next are the people of Abo!

Perhaps inspired by the first work of Kamen Rider, Tsuburaya set up the villain character who appears throughout the entire series for Ultraman's work for the first time - Awa, a human from another dimension.

Villains form gangs, and Ultraman cannot be left behind. Therefore, the audience was full of joy to discover that the original, Seven, Jack and Sophie, including newcomer Ace, together formed the five Ultra brothers.

That's right! The concept of the Ultra Brothers made its debut in the Ace TV drama. This concept made Tsuburaya successful, but it also destroyed him.

From the perspective of future generations, it can be said that Ace completely solidified the image and routine of Ultraman. It's like Tsuburaya built a wall, which not only blocked the attacks of wild beasts outside, but also trapped himself in place...

Although Ace's ratings are not as good as those of its predecessor, Tsuburaya's innovations are not lacking at all. Not to mention the father of Ultra, the main thing is the setting of the super beast, which is indeed very eye-catching.

The settings are configurable, and limited by the technical means at the time, it was impossible to fully demonstrate the power of the super beast.

what can we do about it?

Tsuburaya thought of whipping the corpse. In the eighth episode of the Ace TV series, the monster of Guiman in the previous game was easily defeated by the super beast.

As expected of Tsuburaya!

Although times have changed, various special effects can still reflect the power of super beasts. But Meng Lang felt that whipping corpses was a virtue and should be carried forward!

By the way, save some special effects...

As the saying goes, you have to kill the corpse as early as possible. You don't have to wait until the eighth episode. The Pengda version of Ace. In the first episode, Belokn can tear apart ordinary monsters with his hands.

The target of the corpse whipping has not yet been determined!

Meng Lang really wants to use Jeton!

After all, it is the boss monster of the first generation and Jack. It is used to set off the power of super beasts, and the effect is definitely stronger than ordinary monsters.

It's a pity that there is no Jayden in the warehouse.

Although Pengda has many holsters, there are not many left unused. After all, Mengzi has a dream of becoming a rich man, so why would he let his leather case sit idle and collect dust?

They are usually rented out!

As for the purpose, it can be to open a new store to attract customers from the Baltan planet, or to let Jayton shoot some obscene and despicable advertisements, or to be the master of ceremonies at a wedding and a funeral for a dutiful son...

Don’t underestimate the leather case rental business!

According to the popularity of the monster image, Pengda graded the leather cases. The higher the level, the more expensive the rental fee is. Even the lowest-grade monster holster will cost no less than four figures to rent for a day.

You still have to pay a deposit!

Too expensive? Then get out of here!

Regardless of how much celebrities charge for appearance, compared with them, Meng Zai's charges are simply touching.

Popular leather cases still require reservations!

Jetton is naturally a popular leather case, and there are more than one set in the warehouse, a total of five sets. However, they are all rented out.

That's all money!

Mengzi was reluctant to recall Jayton, so he decisively gave up the idea of ​​killing Jayton and chose an unpopular monster.

It’s good to be unpopular!

The more times you whip the corpse, the more it becomes popular. If you rent it out later, you can also collect more money, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.

Whether it is the original version or the PD version, Ace's budget is not low. It was also Meng Lang's idea to save unnecessary expenses and spend money wisely.

Ace is really spending money!

His nickname, Prince of Light, refers to the wide variety of special effects, and the Dismemberment Maniac refers to the wear and tear of holstered models.

These are all money!

If Meng Lang remembers correctly, Ace is the first Ultraman in the Ultraman series to use colored light, that is, Metalim light.

Is this an advancement in technology?

No, this is the care given by Dongbao’s mother. If it weren't for Toho, how could Tsuburaya have the capital to do this?

If you don’t believe me, go check out the first Kamen Rider film from the same period. What level is that? And what level is Ace?

To be fair, Ace is an excellent work, and every detail is well done. In neon at that time, Ace was also very popular.

Unfortunately, not as good as Jack.

Jack's average ratings are around 22%, and he has set records of more than 25% in the middle and later stages. Ace's average ratings are only about 18%.

Not only did the ratings drop, but the sales of Ace's derivative toys were not as good as those of the previous game, Jack.

Even a disastrous failure!

In Meng Lang's opinion, Ace's fate is similar to that of Kamen Rider X. The previous work was great, and the sequel is also great. The works caught in the middle are very mediocre.

There is no harm without comparison.

Ace's filming plan follows the step-by-step model of the previous film, finishing one episode before filming the next.

First up is the first episode!

The first scene is very simple. Bakery driver Shi Beidou drives a truck and delivers goods to customers across the city.

He went to the TAC team first!

Okay, I'll be there soon!

Because of the urging call from the second customer, Shi Beidou panicked for a moment and gave him an extra bag of bread.

Master Zhengming found nothing unusual and walked into the TAC team war room carrying bread. After being busy for a while, Tian Jun got hungry and planned to eat some bread.

Hey, I bought that!

Master Zhengming complained. He just picked up a piece of bread and realized that the quantity was wrong. Why was there an extra bag?

What a confused guy!

Master Zhengming didn't want to take advantage of this and planned to return the extra bread to Shi Beidou. After contacting him by phone, he and Beidou made an appointment to meet at the welfare home.

Wait, I'll go with you!

Just as Captain Long was about to go out, the two drove the TAC team's tank straight to the welfare home.

Then the super beast comes!

To be precise, the wild bodyguard monster Black King appeared first, and then the missile super beast Belokon appeared.

During the melee, the orphanage was destroyed. In order to save the children, Beidou died in the explosion of a missile launched by Bei Laoken.

The same goes for Nan Xizi!

The difficulty of this scene was mainly the destruction of the orphanage in the second half.

Fortunately, the actors are relatively professional.

Even Yang Zhe, who has the least experience, has played the role of Corpse in Hengdian for three years, and his acting skills are not bad.

Ps: There’s no need to complain about Lin Fangmin’s fairy-like appearance in the previous chapter, that’s my real-life classmate. She threatened me that if I didn't give a supporting role, she would recommend this book to Meng Lang himself...
