Feature Shows Extravaganza

Pi Yang is a reporter at Jiangchuan Metropolis Daily.

Every year at the PD Carnival, the newspaper would arrange for him to visit the site and write a high-quality report.

This year is no exception!

Unknowingly, the Pengda Carnival has been held for nine times, from the first in 2014 to the tenth today. Pi Yang, who has participated every year, has a lot of feelings.

He still remembers it clearly.

When I participated in the first PD Carnival in 2014, the venue was located at Jiangchuan International Convention and Exhibition Center. The PD company at that time left a deep impression on him.

It’s not how exciting the event is, nor how lively the scene is…

In fact, the first PD Carnival was deserted. Apart from media reporters and Jiangchuan citizens, there were almost no foreign tourists.

At that time, tickets were free of charge. Meng Heizhu personally led his employees to deliver free tickets to major institutions, schools, and hospitals in Jiangchuan, hoping that they would take time to visit.

PD was still very young at that time.

Although he has made a lot of money with his two popular works The King of Fire and Balala Little Demon Fairy. But looking across the country, PD is undoubtedly a small workshop.

But at this time, PD Company resolutely rented the Jiangchuan International Convention and Exhibition Center and spent tens of millions to build a Carnival Ceremony.

No one came to see it?

The boss took his employees to the battle in person and distributed free tickets to everyone!

These actions made Pi Yang, who was still very young at the time, remember PD Company immediately. He admired the courage of the person at the helm and boldly predicted that the PD Carnival would become a global event!

He guessed it right!

Meng Heizhu dared to invest tens of millions to create a PD carnival in the early stage of entrepreneurship when it was in poverty. This kind of courage has already destined him to succeed.

Become famous for the first time!

The fame of the second and third sessions spread to the whole country, and the fame of the fourth and fifth sessions spread to the world...until the tenth session now!

Pi Yang witnessed with his own eyes that the PD Carnival went from obscurity to global attention. As a Jiangchuan native, he is deeply proud.

He has a piece of data.

This year’s PD Carnival is expected to attract more than five million tourists to Jiangchuan, 80% of whom are from overseas.

Combined, the number of viewers watching the opening ceremony of this carnival on all major live broadcast platforms at home and abroad is expected to exceed 40 million!

This is a pretty scary number!

Such a grand occasion makes people think of the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games and World Cup. The legendary world-wide attention is probably this, right?

The PD Carnival is getting better and better!

But there was one thing that particularly touched Pi Yang. From the first to the tenth edition, tickets to the PD Carnival have been provided free of charge to Jiangchuan media.

Meng Heizhu is a grateful person!

He knew that the PD Carnival could not be the grand event it is today without the support that Jiangchuan media gave him.

So, no matter how tight the tickets are. He will set aside part of it and distribute it to local media practitioners in Jiangchuan for free.

Journalists from other regions?

Sorry, please purchase tickets at your own expense!

Meng Heizhu is sensible and sensible, and Jiangchuan media will not let him down. Every time I cover the PD Carnival, the editor-in-chief will give me an extra instruction: Praise me more!

Thinking of this, Pi Yang couldn't help but smile.

Jiangchuan has such a promising company. As media workers, they are really happy!

Lao Pi?

While Pi Yang was in a daze, a familiar voice came from next to him.

When he glanced back, he realized that his good friend Yang Ming, a self-media practitioner, had entered.

Lao Yang?

After saying hello, Pi Yang took the initiative to ask: When did you arrive? Why didn't you tell me and I'll treat you to a meal!

I just arrived in Jiangchuan last night!

I don't have to eat. I can't even find a place to stay now, and I'm really worried.

Yang Mingjin complained: I'm a good boy! You don't know that all the hotels in Jiangchuan are full of people now!

I arrived in Jiangchuan last night and couldn't find a place to sleep, so I had to go to an Internet cafe to spend the night. As a result, even the Internet cafe was full...

hiss!

Pi Yang was shocked: Really? Is it so difficult to find a place to live?

Can I make a joke then?

Yang Mingjin rolled his eyes and said, If I had known this would happen, I would have booked the room a week in advance. But now, I can't even find a place to sleep!

Then you come to my house. My house is quite big...

become!

Yang Mingjin is not polite, he really can't find a place to live. The whole Jiangchuan is now overcrowded. You can't stay in Internet cafes and KFC all the time, right?

What does it look like for a blogger with millions of followers to stay in an Internet cafe?

It's rare to meet good gay friends. They both wanted to visit the PD Carnival, so Pi Yang and Yang Mingjin chose to form a team.

What activities are there this year?

There are quite a lot of activities, but today there is only the opening ceremony and exhibition. The opening ceremony is in the evening, let's go to the exhibition area first, shall we?

You are a local snake, I listen to you!

The two walked side by side, passed through the dense crowd, and entered the exhibition areas of PD's major subsidiaries.

The first exhibition area that catches the eye is the Baby Zone built by PD Europe Branch.

Staff members put on Garden Baby and Teletubbies holsters and stood outside the exhibition area to attract visitors and distribute leaflets and promotional materials.

There are quite a lot of people...

Pi Yang was surprised. He didn't expect this exhibition area to be so popular.

To know!

Although the Baby series is popular all over the world, it is as popular in Europe and the United States as Ultraman and Kamen Rider.

But in China, the popularity of Teletubbies and Garden Babies is completely inferior to that of Ultraman and Kamen Rider.

Look carefully, they are all parents with their children!

Yang Mingjin explained: I don't know much about Teletubbies, after all, I haven't watched it. But as far as I know, Garden Babies has been replayed on domestic TV stations for 158 rounds...

Wait... wait a minute!

Pi Yang suspected that he heard wrongly and said in disbelief: What did you just say? How many rounds of Garden Baby replays?

158 rounds!

Yang Mingjin asked in confusion: What's wrong? Is there any problem?

Of course there is a problem!

How long has it been since Garden Baby was introduced to China? It only takes five or six months to fully calculate, just over 150 days...

It has been introduced into the country for more than 100 days and has been replayed for 158 rounds? How is the number of replay rounds calculated? Is it replayed once a day?

After learning about Pi Yang's doubts, Yang Mingjin said with a smile: It is indeed 158 rounds. You heard it right. This data comes from the official website of PD Film and Television. You can check the announcement they issued.

Many domestic provincial children's channels, CCTV children's channels, county-level, and municipal TV stations have broadcast Garden Baby.

I know this……

Pi Yang wondered: But these TV stations add up to only thirty or fifty rounds at most. Is more than a hundred rounds an exaggeration?

No exaggeration!

Yang Mingjin grinned and said: In four or five months, a TV station will rebroadcast it four or five times. Is it not a problem?

Are all the TV stations added up, enough for 158 rounds?

Pi Yang: ...

It seems like this is really the case!

If this data is true, it would be a bit scary! In just half a year, 158 rounds of TV series were rebroadcast. Who else can break this record?

Ultraman once shone brightly and amazed an entire era. It is said that it was replayed for more than a hundred rounds throughout the year, and it is still being replayed by TV stations, which is regarded as a ratings myth by the industry.

The same examples include classics such as the 1986 version of Journey to the West, Bright Sword, My Fair Princess, and The Legend of the White Snake.

Which of these film and television dramas is not a household-known work?

But what about garden babies?

Pi Yang feels that most people have never watched this show, let alone the name of the protagonist.

Why does it replay so many rounds?

Who is watching?

With doubts, Pi Yang walked into the exhibition area under the leadership of Yang Mingjin.

There are many children in the exhibition area!

There are elementary school students and junior high school students, but the number is not large. The real main fans are preschoolers who are babbling?

And, both boys and girls.

The plush dolls used for exhibition were priced at 99 yuan each and were sold out quickly. The children who didn't buy it were crying and fussing with their parents in their arms, making the scene extremely noisy.

No wonder...

Shaking his head, Pi Yang finally figured it out. It turns out that this baby series is mainly focused on the preschool children market, so no wonder it is not well-known outside.

Forget it, let's go to the next exhibition area!

After briefly interviewing passers-by and the person in charge of the exhibition area, Pi Yang was affected by the crying of this group of children and quickly pulled Yang Mingjin to the next exhibition area.

I can't help it, it's too noisy!

A crying child is already a headache. If dozens or hundreds of children cry, the scene will simply be earth-shattering!

The next exhibition area is from PD Animation.

Animation companies have no big hits this year. In the exhibition area, there are nothing more than the two pillar IPs of Transformers and Yu-Gi-Oh!

What's more surprising is that there is actually a marble ball game here?

There are quite a lot of participants.

After taking a few photos, Pi Yang rushed to the third exhibition area with satisfaction.

PD technology exhibition area!

As a subsidiary of PD Group, PD Technology can be called the poorest subsidiary. The exhibition area is well arranged and full of futuristic technology.

Poster figures of Luo Tianyi can be seen everywhere, as well as a real-life demonstration of the third-generation duel instrument of Yu-Gi-Oh!

However, what Yang Mingjin and Pi Yang are most interested in is the new virtual idol plan revealed by the person in charge.

Hatsune Miku?

The name sounds quite interesting! Unfortunately, the design has not been announced yet...

never mind!

Although only one name was revealed, this is barely a revelation. Pi Yang thought for a while and decided to include the Hatsune Miku revelations in the report.

The next exhibition area is PD comics...

In one morning, Yang Mingjin and Pi Yang's legs were weak, so they visited seven or eight exhibition areas. We can only wait until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to visit the remaining exhibition areas.

Because there is a preview screening in the afternoon!

Produced by PD Films and directed by Li Wanbo, the monster disaster movie Godzilla filmed in memory of Mr. Qiao will soon hold a preview screening at the small theater in PD Park.

The so-called preview screening is not to show the finished film, but to use some filmed materials and cut it into a short film for everyone to try.

The nature is equivalent to a trailer!

Pi Yang and Yang Mingjin, as media representatives, received tickets to a movie.

After the two had lunch, they rushed to the theater to wait for the broadcast of the Godzilla preview short film.

In fact, neither of them knew much about this movie.

They only know that this is a monster movie specially produced by PD Films to commemorate the late Mr. Qiao.

At the beginning!

Everyone thinks that Godzilla is a side story or OV of a certain Ultraman. I later learned that Godzilla has nothing to do with Ultraman.

This is a pure monster movie!

It can also be called a disaster movie!

According to director Li Wanbo's description, the film does not have any superpower elements. Human beings can only rely on their own strength to fight against the ferocious and terrifying monsters.

It's a bit difficult!

On the way to the theater, Pi Yang and Yang Mingjin had a discussion around the topic of how humans deal with monsters.

Finally they came to a conclusion!

It’s as difficult as climbing to the sky!

There are no superheroes, no superpowers, and no advanced technology. With human technological means, I am afraid that only nuclear weapons can threaten the monsters.

Biochemical weapons might work too!

But Godzilla is a monster after all, and it is still unknown whether biochemical weapons will work.

As for laser weapons?

But pull it down! This thing is still in the experimental stage. It may be very powerful, but humans have not yet used it in actual combat weapons.

Therefore, normal firepower is simply not enough to deal with such a huge monster.

Maybe there is another possibility!

Yang Mingjin said whimsically: Humans have established communication with Godzilla, and through communication, Godzilla becomes docile and no longer ferocious?

What are you thinking about!

Pi Yang rolled his eyes and said: When a monster appears in the human world, the human government will definitely think about how to destroy it immediately instead of communicating with it.

Non-my family, its heart must be different!

The harmonious coexistence of humans and monsters is, after all, a beautiful fantasy in special photography films. If a monster really appears, it will either die or the human race will be exterminated.

There is no third possibility!

makes sense……

Yang Mingjin nodded. Just as he was about to add a few words, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of people walking towards the theater.

Hey, old Pi, look!

Are those Tao Mi and Meng Heizhu?

It seems to be them!

Pi Yang picked up the camera, took a photo and said, Taomi is pushing the stroller. The child in it must be a little black pig!

Did you take the photo? Show me what the little black pig looks like. Is it ugly? Yang Mingjin asked curiously.

When he saw the photo, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said, What! The little guy looks quite cute. I thought he was too ugly to see anyone!

Pi Yang: ...

What kind of strange statement is this?

We are so close to Meng Heizhu. If he hears what you said, won't he be chopped into pieces?

They came to see Godzilla too!

Pi Yang raised the ticket in his hand and said to Yang Mingjin: Let's go! Let's go see what Godzilla, who was blown up by Meng Heizhu, looks like!

The theater was full.

I heard that Meng Heizhu and his family were in the private room upstairs, but I didn’t know whether it was true or not.

Anyway, Pi Yang didn't have to wait long as the test short film started.

It rains heavily and the sea water surges!

A giant ship was driving on the sea. Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck down, and huge waves tens of meters high instantly rose around the ship.

The waves dispersed, and the long-famous ferocious beast Godzilla finally revealed his true face.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion…

Seeing this Godzilla, Yang Mingjin always felt that it was a relative of Golzan. Not only are the names similar, the leather cases are also very similar in shape.

certainly!

Godzilla is much more powerful than Golzan!

This guy destroyed a giant ship when it first appeared, and then landed in coastal cities and wreaked havoc. Thick smoke billowed throughout the city, and fighter planes and tanks exploded and disintegrated one after another.

This is a monster!

Many people were shocked to see the once prosperous city destroyed in an instant.

What is Golzan?

What about Gatanje?

Come and see Godzilla’s grand scene of “destroying cities and destroying the world”. This is what we call a monster, and this is what we call great terror!

have to say!

Although Godzilla's design is not as strong as the monsters in Ultraman, his destructive power is really incredible.

Destroy the world!

If I don’t talk to you too much, the destruction will be over!

Anyway, there is no Ultraman, no Kamen Rider, and no heroic protagonist in this world. Godzilla is invincible.

Human beings are really powerless to fight back against such terrifying creatures.

Fighter tank?

What's the use of slapping him away?

Even mankind's last trump card, the nuclear egg that claims to destroy everything, still failed to annihilate Godzilla.

The magnificent war scenes make people's blood boil.

Facing the invincible Godzilla, mankind has fallen into unprecedented despair. They really couldn't figure out how to defeat this prehistoric beast.

Until Mr. Qiao appeared...

Biologist Dr. Qiao has studied paleontology for many years. In order to defeat Godzilla, he developed a weapon called the Oxygen Destroyer.

In order to prevent this weapon from being used in war, he chose to burn all research materials and bury himself and Godzilla at the bottom of the sea.

This is a sad story.

Humanity finally defeated Godzilla, but what was left was a mess everywhere.

Godzilla was born from nuclear radiation. In the final analysis, this is the sin of human beings themselves, and they finally tasted the consequences.

The kid saw a monster!

What adults saw was nuclear terror!

Although it is only a preview short film, it is only 21 minutes long. But the shock that this short 21 minutes brought to the audience is difficult to describe in words.

Especially the kids!

Having seen the scene of Ultraman fighting monsters before, they did not intuitively feel the terror of the monsters.

Even in their eyes, monsters are quite cute!

This time, they were scared!

Godzilla is so terrifying that he destroys cities and the world at every turn. Without the protection of Ultraman, humans are vulnerable to monsters.

do not forget……

It's just Godzilla!

Compared to the monsters that appear in the Ultraman TV series, Godzilla is pitifully weak. But Godzilla, who is so weak, almost completed the achievement of destroying mankind.

One can imagine how terrifying other monsters would be if they appeared on the earth!

Gatanje? No need!

Just take a Bemonstein or a monster like Barton, and most humans will be GG.

Defeating Godzilla was a pure fluke.

It can also be said that it is the halo of the protagonist. Without the favoritism of the screenwriter, it is not difficult to destroy human civilization with Godzilla's ability.

Humans are still too weak!

This is the feeling that many people have after walking out of the theater.

This is a 5,000-word chapter, don’t tell me I haven’t updated it enough.
