Feature Shows Extravaganza

With Mengzi's blessing, Director Tao left.

Before leaving, he kidnapped a stack of beautifully printed PD Family Reunion desktop calendars that Meng Lang had specially customized to send to clients and friends, intending to distribute them to TV station employees as a New Year's benefit.

Yes, a whole bunch!

He can always lend flowers to Buddha.

Today is December 31, the last day of 2020 in the Gregorian calendar. In order to welcome the New Year, Meng Lang specially asked PD Printing and Publishing Company to rush out a batch of New Year calendars.

This batch of calendars are only for giveaway and not for sale!

Company employees, PD dealers, suppliers, partners, superiors, and Taomi’s family will all receive a copy.

It’s an old tradition!

Every statutory holiday, or company celebration or important moment, Mr. Meng, who has always been stingy, would always hold back his sadness and give everyone gifts...

Why are you sad?

Aren't you talking nonsense!

Seeing that Ma Teng had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem, Meng Lang said angrily: There were only a few people in the company before? Giving out gifts during holidays can win people's hearts without spending much money.

But what now?

There are approximately 5,000 people in PD Group (excluding general workers in PD Toy Factory and PD Paradise), and there are almost 3,000 people in Big Bird Group, including Lebao, overseas branches and various dealers and suppliers... …

The total number of people should be fifty thousand, right?

Let’s not talk about gifts worth a few dollars. If the gift is a little more expensive, it will cost millions or even tens of millions. Cumulatively, for a whole year, the gift expenditure alone is close to 100 million!

There are actually so many!

Hearing this figure, Ma Teng was frightened and said: Since it is so expensive, then let's cancel this benefit starting next year!

It would be inappropriate to cancel benefits.

After all, it has been passed down for so many years. If you cancel it rashly, many employees will be dissatisfied. You can only start with the value of the gift and reduce expenses as much as possible.

For example, when there were not many employees in the past few years, the value of gifts was generally higher than 100 yuan. But now the gift is just a desktop calendar.

Are employees disgusted?

Understand it! It’s not easy for Mr. Meng either. All the stolen pocket money and New Year’s money were stuffed into the park. He hasn’t bought a new car for so many years. It’s so hard for him!

But having said that, Meng Lang had thought about buying a new car since he was disliked by Taomi's parents last time.

Ultra Tank is indeed old!

Although it was fine to drive, he liked the car quite a bit. But when I usually attend some public events and pick up and drop off guests and friends, the riding experience is really bad.

Do you want to buy a car?

Ma Teng suggested: The company just purchased a few official cars in October, how about you choose one?

No, I have other plans.

Meng Lang muttered: Ask Wang Kui for me, does the animation company have a draft plan for the live-action Transformers?

Transformers live-action?

Ma Teng blinked and said, It seems there is such a thing. I heard him mention it. Mr. Meng, should we make a live-action version of Transformers?

You can give it a try!

Meng Lang raised his index finger, tapped the table and hesitated: The popularity of the Proof of the Leader animation series has cultivated a large number of loyal wires. If it is made into a movie, we will have a solid box office foundation, but...

Pengda doesn't have this ability!

The Transformers movie is roughly positioned as a science fiction action movie. Explosion Maniac Michael Bay, based on the original animated comic, has more action film elements embedded in it.

This style is hard to imitate…

There is no director in the entire Pengda Group, including its major overseas branches, who has the characteristics of Michael Bay, not even Meng Tsai.

If he could create Michael Bay's adrenaline rush tension and excitement, he wouldn't have been filming dramas and dramas in his previous life and waiting to die.

After all, our abilities are limited!

Although the film received average reviews, it was far less popular among movie fans than Truck Driver. But to be honest, most people can't learn his style.

The style of Bombshell cannot be copied, and the original Transformers has lost its reference value. If Pengda wanted to make a live-action version, he had to change his mind.

This is not easy!

Meng Lang couldn't think of a better solution for a while. After all, Bangbei's Transformers left a deep impression on him, and it would be difficult for him to break this shackles.

How about asking other people?

The first idea came from Yan Tao. He likes the cute style of painting very much. After all, he is old with the second dimension. The live-action version of Transformers he conceived stars all cute girls.

The kawaii girl with twin ponytails fights side by side with the cold steel robot. It has the cuteness of a beauty and a beast. It will definitely look good!

The two-dimensional dead house is indeed very imaginative...

After kicking away Yan Tao, who was thinking about Mother-in-Law King Kong, Meng Lang then asked Wang Kui.

His answer was much more serious.

Live-action style? Isn't it copied from the animated version? Whatever plot setting, just follow the leader's certificate!

This is a pretty good idea.

Wang Kui's ideas are actually various theater version ideas. The style is completely consistent, turning the live-action version of Transformers into a major theater version of Proof of the Leader.

Simply strengthen the special effects and change the plot and that's it!

After writing down this highly feasible plan, Meng Lang made another cross-country phone call to ask Shi Sen and Bai Cang about their views on real-person reality.

President, what do you think?

If it is made into a theatrical version, it will only attract fans of the original work. Fans who have not watched the animation, or are not interested in animation, will basically not watch this movie.

If a magical modification is carried out, although some fans of the original work will resist it, it will break free from this shackles and attract more casual fans. But one disadvantage is that if the modified version is not liked by casual fans, and the original fans boycott it, then At once……

It’s completely cold!

To put it simply, the risks of drought and floods in filming a theatrical version are low, but the upper limit is also low. Carrying out real-person transformation without fans is a high risk, but the upper limit is also high.

Bang Bangbei chose magic modification!

Because of its excellent quality, it attracted a large number of non-wired moviegoers, so he succeeded. If the quality of the finished film is very poor and casual fans don't buy it, then he will definitely be scolded to death.

Meng Lang needs to make a choice.

Is it the theatrical version of Proof of the Leader, or is it a magical transformation to attract more casual fans?

What are you still thinking about! Magical reform!

Yan Tao covered his heart and said with blurred eyes: The girl King Kong, who is full of pink flavor, will soon appear in the theater.

Security! Get him out!

Bullshit girl King Kong! Mengzi swore to God that even if he died of poverty and starvation, he would not put Brother Zhuzi in a lace princess dress.

It’s so annoying!

Even if the PD needs the help of a dead nerd and has to launch a girly work, it won't be Transformers' turn. Referring to Tsuburaya's method, doesn't Ultra Musume Monster Girl taste good?

No! What am I thinking!

Meng Lang, whose thoughts were distorted by Yan Tao, could not help but think of the feminine Ultraman in his mind, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

Soulless!

He is the first generation Ultraman!

What would fans think of Ultraman if he became a girl? What would Tommy think of him? How can Jiangchuan's little bully still fool around?

The weather is dry and things are dry, so be careful about the fire! The naughty child played with fire and burned down the house. Fortunately, no one lived in the old house...
