Feature Shows Extravaganza

At the end of September, Tiejia Xiaobao was completed.

Just as Meng Lang was gathering people to compose a theme song for Iron Armored Little Treasure, he unexpectedly received a message.

Sad news!

Mr. Qiao, who once worked in the PD film and television content production department as the director of model and props, died in the hospital yesterday afternoon at the age of 79.

Meng Lang was in a particularly heavy mood...

Mr. Qiao joined PD relatively late, but his contribution to PD is as great as anyone in the company.

The famous Ultraman series, from the first Ultraman to Ultraman Eddie, it can be said that the entire Showa series model props are all handled by the old man.

Meng Lang still remembered that at the beginning of the Ultraman series, all departments were short of major generals. In order to make good model props, the old man worked overtime all night long.

At that time, he was 70 years old!

Why would a seventy-year-old man work so hard when he can obviously enjoy his old age at home?

In his words.

It doesn't matter whether you have money or not. After retirement, you will be idle anyway. Why not come to work here and create happiness for children? I think this kind of thing is very meaningful!

Ashamed to say it.

The old man had worked hard for so many years, and every time Meng Lang proposed to give him a salary increase, he was rejected.

I'm a bad old man. I just have enough to eat and drink. What do I do with so much money? If you really want to give these young people a salary increase, they have mortgages, car loans, etc. The pressure is too much...

The old man had a bad temper and often scolded the young interns. Everyone privately called him King Qiao.

But his bad temper stems from his serious attitude towards work.

In fact, as a leader, he cares very much about the young people under his command. He even knows who is broken up in love and who has found a partner...

His departure is definitely a huge loss to the entire PD Group!

Pengda Group immediately changed its official website to black and white, announced the death of Mr. Qiao, and wished Mr. Qiao a good journey!

The forum is temporarily closed.

The PD mall is all black and white. When you open any of PD's APPs, you can see a picture.

This is a photo.

In the photo, the white-haired Mr. Qiao is leaning over the table, carefully pasting paper windows on the miniature model with the help of light.

The photo was taken five years ago, when PD was preparing for the Ultraman Taro project. Mr. Qiao had a cold and fever and was forced to take a rest by Mr. Meng and was not allowed to come to the company to work.

As a result, when Ma Teng went to visit, he accidentally found Mr. Qiao who was resting at home and still worried about work. He took a photo and sent it to Mr. Meng and made a small report.

Later, Ma Teng was beaten!

Mr. Qiao puffed his beard and glared, saying, Ma Teng, the little thief, knows how to make snitches all day long. In ancient times, he must have been a great eunuch who brought disaster to the country and the people. He picked up a wooden stick and chased Ma Teng ten streets...

If Meng Lang hadn't stepped forward to save poor Ma Teng, he would have been beaten to death by the old man.

This photo moved countless netizens.

Many of them met Mr. Qiao for the first time. After all, Mr. Qiao is a behind-the-scenes worker, and the audience must be more familiar with him as an actor or director.

But this did not prevent them from feeling sad for the passing of Mr. Qiao.

Ultraman is a great series!

Mr. Qiao, who contributed to the birth of this series, is not as famous as an actor, but he still deserves to be respected.

On the first day of school, I burst into tears when I received this news...

Have a good trip, Grandpa Qiao!

If there really is a giant of light, I believe that Grandpa Qiao has already gone to the Kingdom of Light under the guidance of the giant!

This is the first time I know that the miniature models are all handmade. I always thought they were real buildings. Grandpa Qiao's craftsmanship is superb. I can't bear to see you leave!

It’s not just domestic netizens.

As the news spread and many foreign media forwarded the report, more and more foreign friends also expressed their condolences to Mr. Qiao on social media.

Many celebrities have emerged.

In the political, business, entertainment, media and sports circles, many people who seemed to have nothing to do with Mr. Qiao all exploded.

It was also at this time that everyone realized.

It turns out that the influence of the IP Ultraman has reached such an exaggerated level. Not only children like to watch it, but so many celebrities also like to watch it.

A world-class IP worthy of its name!

Mr. Qiao's funeral is scheduled to be held in his hometown a week later.

The reason why it is my hometown instead of Jiangchuan, where Mr. Qiao settled, is because the old man said before his death that he must return to his roots after death.

Meng Lang has already planned his itinerary.

He will take Tao Mi, Ma Teng, Chen Huan and others to Mr. Qiao's hometown to attend the funeral. At the same time, Wang Fei, Yao Bin, Tao Zhao, Wang Dali and Ye Ziyan, who received the news, will also attend the funeral.

Not just Ultraman's human body.

Most of the actors who have participated in Ultraman, maybe just as a bit player and played one or two supporting roles, will also attend the funeral.

Different from He Yifan!

The reason why no one attended He Yifan's funeral was because he was very unpopular in his own circle and had offended the Jiangchuan bully.

But Mr. Qiao is different. He is very popular in the circle and takes good care of every junior. Coupled with PD's background, the size of the funeral guests must be much greater than that of He Yifan.

After Mr. Qiao passed away, the atmosphere within the company was extremely depressed, and everyone was immersed in grief.

In order to help everyone get over the grief and become strong again, Meng Lang gave the content production department a task:

Make a giant monster movie without a hero! In memory of the master of miniatures, Mr. Joe!

No great heroes?

Ma Teng was puzzled: Then who can stop the attack of the giant monster?

Of course humans themselves!

Meng Lang glanced at Ma Teng and explained to him: Do you know what I thought when the Ultraman project was first established, before the giant hero was designed?

The earth is mankind's earth. To protect this planet, we must rely on our own strength. Wouldn't we be able to fight monsters without Ultraman?

These words moved Ma Teng.

He nodded and said: Mr. Meng, I understand what you mean. I will try my best to do this well, don't worry!

Um!

Meng Lang said while signing the document: Remember to set the protagonist in the play as a construction engineer named Qiao. As for the monster, let's call it Godzilla!

Godzilla?

Ma Teng read it several times and said thoughtfully: Does this name have something to do with Golzan?

It has a little to do with...

Meng Lang shook his head and said, You can understand that the shapes are similar, but they are very different. The image of Godzilla can refer to the evil-fighting beast in Chinese mythology, as well as the winged beasts from abroad.

Anyway, this is a very scary monster!
