Feature Shows Extravaganza

The investigation team is killed, and the mysterious belt attracts the attention of the Metropolitan Police.

At this time, a spider monster dropped from the sky and attacked the police, muttering the weird word kuuga...

Are the spiders persecuted again?

When he saw the first monster, Meng Lang's expression was very calm, as if everything was as he expected. After all, spiders offer sacrifices to the sky and bats offer sacrifices to the earth. Kamen Rider has an old tradition.

What really surprised him was that the episode sample seemed incomplete, missing a most crucial fighting scene.

It's true that we haven't finished filming yet...

Bai Cang explained awkwardly: We need a helicopter to assist and some special effects shots. Our funds are very tight and we can't complete it.

Insufficient funds?

Hearing this, the committee members looked at Bai Cang with stiff expressions. And Meng Lang narrowed his eyes, as if he smelled a signal of danger.

If he remembered correctly, the production committee allocated a total of 30 million yen to Shirakura to produce samples, which is equivalent to nearly 2 million yuan.

It’s only a sample episode!

With so much money, you can make a low-cost, low-quality movie even if you tighten your belt, but you can actually burn a sample of one episode?

The key is, haven’t the samples been taken yet?

Are you still a human being?

Bai Cang smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to answer.

He also knows that this cost is indeed higher than previous generations of works, and more than a little higher.

However, he has no regrets!

Spending more money can produce better results, so why not spend it? There is a saying that goes well - anything that can be solved with money is nothing...

What are your views on this matter?

Meng Lang rubbed his eyebrows and said, Do you have anything to say about the budget, cost, and the effect of the film?

“Meng Sang, I think it’s too expensive!”

Mr. Hikigaya from the ANB Content Center said with an ugly face: According to the planning route, Kuuga is expected to produce 50 episodes. If the production cost of a single episode is not controlled, our risk is too high.

That makes sense...

President Ono of PD Neon nodded and said: But I think Kuuga, as an innovative knight work, will have high commercial value in the future. There is a saying in the investment community that high risk means high return!

Assuming that the production cost of a single episode of Kuuga is 2 million yuan, fifty episodes are only 100 million yuan! Everyone, after watching the sample film, do you think Kuuga is worth 100 million yuan?

that……

Allow me to interrupt!

The marginalized Bai Cang added weakly: According to my estimate, the cost of a single episode is likely to rise to 5 million!

Everyone: ...

You are so good, it doubled in one go!

Meng Lang said with a headache: Five million is impossible. We can't take such a big risk. Based on the sample you provided, I can approve a budget of 3 million yuan for a single episode. Are you sure you can shoot it?

I...I can!

Although the budget has been cut, negotiations have always been asking for high prices and paying back the money. Bai Cang's psychological expectation is exactly three million.

Then it's up to you!

Mr. Meng nodded, what else dare others say? Even Mr. Hikigaya, the representative of ANB, accepted this production budget.

At this point, Kongga has been approved.

A single episode costs 45 million yen, equivalent to a production cost of approximately 3 million yuan. PD Neon invested 50%, PD Group and ANB each invested 25% and shared the risks.

The demo for the first episode of Kuuga is incomplete, the key fighting scene has not been filmed, the title and soundtrack are not ready yet, so it cannot be picked up this week.

According to the arrangements of ANB, a hero exploration program Fighting to Protect the Smile will be broadcast at the Mu Yao Theater in the evenings this week and next week, which can be regarded as a warm-up for Kongwo in advance.

After the two upper and lower episodes of this special broadcast program have ended, Kuuga is also ready to start the weekly broadcast tour on the first Thursday in February.

There is more than half a month left!

In the past half month or so, Meng Lang planned to talk to Director Tao and ask him if he had any ideas to open a second Youth Weekly Theater to play Kongwo on Sunday evening from 19:35 to 20:05.

Surprisingly, before he could contact Director Tao, Director Tao came to him.

What is this called?

The man is in love with his concubine, the dry wood meets the fire, the golden lotus meets Ximen, they are in love with each other, and they have a clear understanding...

In short, Director Tao is very proactive.

In his plan, there was originally more than one weekly theater.

It’s Super Sentai on Saturday night, Kamen Rider on Sunday night, and Ultraman on Friday night, it’s perfect!

Kuaga is not a big problem. After all, the Kamen Rider series has been developing for many years and has accumulated a large number of fans. What I am most worried about is the super electronic cyborg... Meng Lang said worriedly.

Do not worry!

Director Tao smiled and said: I'm keeping an eye on the Sentai series, so nothing will happen. Did you watch the premiere last night? I feel it's pretty reliable.

Already aired?

Being busy with my affairs these days, Meng Lang didn't pay much attention to the PD North American branch. If Director Tao hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that Super Electronic Cyborg premiered last night.

How are the ratings?

good!

The ratings for the premiere of Den Sentai Electromagnetic Man are one percentage point lower than the previous one, but the audience's positive ratings have improved, and it will explode next week.

As I expected...

Meng Lang nodded.

Although Chou Electronics Cyborg is not well-known in China, it is very popular in Neon and Europe and the United States. It can be said to be one of the team's best works.

It's Bioman after all!

Now that Chodronics has been aired in North America, the domestic premiere is not far away. Estimating the date, Meng Lang said thoughtfully: Warrior of the Sun of Haitian should be broadcast in the near future, right?

That's right, it will start broadcasting the day after tomorrow!

Director Tao smiled reluctantly and said, I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing to bump into them.

Don't worry about him!

Meng Lang sneered and said, I know how much Li Xinglong weighs. The Sun Warrior has no effect on the super-electronic biochemical man!

After all, one is a weekly drama and the other is a daily drama, so they cannot be compared.

What's more, what level is Li Xinglong?

The Sun Warrior's plan is indeed good, at least a little better than the Transformation Warrior Aaron. But does Li Xinglong have the ability to restore the effects of the project?

If he had this ability, he wouldn't have been disliked by Meng Zai and ran away to Haitian in despair.

In Meng Lang's view, Li Xinglong is more suitable to be a screenwriter. His ability to write stories is obviously better than filming, and he is a typical academic student.

It's not scary to be biased, what's scary is your self-confidence.

He was obviously not suitable to be a director, but he was confident in himself and had a sharp tongue, which convinced Haitian's management to invest in his project.

Such people……

Generally called undercover sent by friendly businessmen!

Until now, Meng Lang still couldn't figure it out. Why did Haitian executives take a fancy to this guy? Do you think your market value is too high and hope to go bankrupt sooner?

Does anyone really believe the rumor that Li Xinglong is Little Meng Lang?

No way? No way?
