Feature Shows Extravaganza

Pengda Film and Television, daily meetings.

The topic of the meeting is—Great Heroes!

Got to give the project a name?

Wang Kui felt very awkward, always calling him a huge hero sounded weird.

What do you think is a better name?

naming……

According to Mr. Meng, this protagonist should be a giant from the universe, with a huge body and extraordinary power...

Why not, call it Jushan Chaoliba! Wang Kui said excitedly.

Ma Teng shook his head: Sounds stupid, might as well be called Ultraman...

Wang Kui was dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at Mr. Meng.

Meng Lang returned a disapproving look, and then said, As for the protagonist's name, we can call him Ultraman!

Ultraman?

Everyone pondered the meaning of the word, and Ma Teng, who was thinking vividly, asked, Does this sound a bit like a transliteration?

Hmm! UItraman!

Meng Lang explained: A variant of Superman, you can also understand it as Superman!

Although there is no Superman in this time and space, Supoman was preempted, which surprised Meng Lang.

But it doesn't matter, Supoman is gone, no one will snatch Ulu Tuolaman from him.

Superman? This name is fine.

After hearing Meng Lang explain the origin of the name, everyone had no objections, so the words Great Hero written on the small blackboard were erased and replaced with Ultraman.

We are going to try some new things in this drama, including the initial use of leather cases and models, unit dramas, and a unified world view...

Before Meng Lang finished speaking, Wang Kui raised his hand and said, Mr. Meng, I can understand the first two elements you mentioned. What does it mean to unify the worldview?

Unit dramas can be understood, why can't the unified worldview be understood?

Meng Lang picked up the small blackboard and drew a circle on it: This is this drama!

Another circle was drawn: This is the sequel to the independent plot!

Draw another big circle to wrap the previous two small circles: This is the world view!

Wang Kui roughly understood.

Just like a unit drama, the plot of each episode is independent, but the protagonist group does not change, and the main line does not change. Applying it, that is, the world view does not change. The sequel of the independent plot does not seem to have anything to do with the previous work, but the core world view is the same.

In the setting, Ultraman comes from the M78 nebula, belongs to the Ultra Guard of the Kingdom of Light, and is a hero who guards the peace of the universe!

Meng Lang pressed the remote control to show the PPT to the Kingdom of Light part: Leave the Kingdom of Light alone for now, let's talk about the Ultra Guard Team first! They are composed of the most outstanding fighters from the Kingdom of Light. yes……

Through Meng Lang's narration, everyone in the conference room roughly understood this worldview.

Ultraman comes from the Ultra Guard of the Kingdom of Light, and if other works are published in the future, the protagonist will also come from the same place.

There are two advantages to doing this. It is understandable to save time and effort. After all, it is too troublesome to make a world view setting for an Ultraman, and it is also prone to BUG.

The second advantage is that the world view and background of the series are the same, and if there is a Assembly theatrical version in the future, the effect will definitely explode.

Just like the Avengers, the home video of each hero is released first, the world view and background setting are the same, and the S.H.I.E.L.D.A. gathers these scattered heroes, so the Avengers Alliance was born!

This is the benefit of a unified worldview!

In fact, the unity of world view and background setting also has a hidden benefit, that is, new products can be manufactured in batches by completely applying successful templates.

Throughout the Ultraman series, although every TV work has changes in one way or another, the core has never changed.

Monsters raged, humans fled in all directions, the Earth Defense Organization attacked, returned in vain, transformed into human bodies, fought monsters, won with difficulty, and flew away amidst the sound of washing socks.

This set of templates has been used for decades. Although Tsuburaya often modifies this set of templates, and even made an Ultraman with Gauss's magically modified template, no matter whether it is a regular modification or a magical modification, it has not jumped out of this framework. .

It's not that Tsuburaya doesn't want to jump out of the frame...

But they dare not jump! Altman's image and template have been finalized, and rash changes may usher in not praise, but overwhelming criticism.

If Tsuburaya is compared to a toy factory, the Ultraman series is equivalent to an assembly line product made with old molds and new materials.

Can't re-open the mold to make a new product?

It can be done, but it costs money to open the mold!

And the mold is made, if the new product is not welcomed by the market, wouldn't it be over?

It's not just Ultraman, this phenomenon basically happens in the successful Tokusei series.

That is the template I use for success. Although it may not be a big hit, at least it will not fail. Re-create a template, let alone market feedback, maybe the old customers will run away first...

Why get up when you can make money lying down?

Meng Lang didn't condemn this approach. In fact, if he took over, he would still use the old framework, which was why he proposed a unified worldview and setting.

This is called...

Cross the river by touching the round valley!

...

The meeting lasted all afternoon.

In addition to discussing the shooting plan, part of the content is to analyze the market prospect.

Ultraman officially launched!

Start after the Spring Festival! Director Meng Lang.

The producer is still Wang Kui!

The casting work will start immediately. It is best to confirm the actors in the twelfth lunar month, so that the work can start immediately after the festival.

Then there is the newly opened Pengda Carnival!

On the first day of the opening of the carnival, there were many visitors. Although the ticket revenue was still zero, it played an excellent role in bringing goods to the sales of derivative products.

On the face of it, this is Carnival...

In fact, it's a toy launch event!

As early as the opening day of the carnival, the Pengda Carnival Commemorative Edition toy set has been sold nationwide, and overseas will be delayed by two days.

The commemorative yo-yo is the hottest seller!

Probably, it is also related to the recent popularity of Huolishaonianwang 2!

Then came the figure sales of alienated girls!

Children are not very keen on the limited and commemorative editions, and they can buy them if they have money. But fat boy is different! They have no resistance to these two words.

What? Carnival Edition?

Buy buy buy!

Not to mention, although the ratings of the alienated girl have plummeted and the sales of derivative products are not good, but among the fat boy group, they have really gained a wave of favorability.

Pengda Conscience! New products are released every week!

Mr. Meng is a good man! Last time I complained about the lack of figures and pillows for swimsuit Sakura, but it was released in the second week...

Although his handicrafts are a bit more expensive...

But Pengda is sensible!

New ones every week! Willing to follow advice.

Consumers can sell what they need, and buyers can also increase PD membership points, which can be exchanged for prizes and upgrade membership levels.

Rumor has it that the membership level is high enough to even receive a thank you letter from Mr. Meng himself.

Colleagues should learn from it!

I wish all book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
