Feature Shows Extravaganza

PD Carnival lasts for one week!

During this week, PD Group will organize various activities to meet the needs of fans.

Among them, dialogue with the main creator is definitely the highlight.

Creative staff from major divisions and subsidiaries of the PD Group will be interviewed by reporters from major media around the world, talk to fans on site, and answer their questions.

This is a fixed repertoire of every carnival.

This year is no exception!

As a 10th anniversary celebration, the lineup of creative guests attending the event was quite luxurious. Almost every well-known IP has a corresponding speaker.

Meng Lang is in charge of Ultraman.

Ultraman, this household-known tokusatsu series, no longer needs too much introduction. Fans who came to the scene have more or less watched one or two Ultraman live-action TV series.

Even if you haven’t watched it, you have learned from the Internet or from friends who are the important characters in this series and what kind of story it tells?

So, let’s get right to the point!

Xiaotao kept making a fuss last night, which caused Meng Lang not to get a good rest. When he arrived at the scene, Ma Teng almost died from laughter due to the thick black circles under his eyes.

Fortunately, there is a makeup artist!

After some makeup and tidying up, Meng Lang finally regained his energy in front of the camera.

Let us give you a round of applause. Mr. Meng Lang, Chairman of Pengda Group and representative of Jiangchuan Young Entrepreneurs, comes on stage to give us...

Amid cheers and applause, Meng Lang waved to the audience while walking towards the guest speaker's exclusive sofa.

Once seated, the conversation begins.

A black student fan from Africa asked in broken Chinese: Mr. Meng, the Ultraman overseas series already has American Ultraman and Neon Ultraman. When will there be African Ultraman? Woolen cloth?

Ultraman Africa?

Meng Lang almost laughed out loud when he heard this question.

Be reasonable!

If the African market is worth developing and there is money to be made, he doesn't mind creating a non-Chinese to please consumers.

But the problem is...

Does the African market really exist?

The Ultraman series, from the first generation to the current Dyna, has produced more than ten works.

Among these works, about 80% have been introduced to the African market. The way to introduce it was naturally that Meng Lang gave it to them for free on local TV stations.

But what's the result?

Even if the broadcast rights are given away for free, they don’t care about ratings, they just want to sell some toys. The total annual revenue of the African market is less than that of a landlocked province in China.

How chilling you make Uncle Meng!

The second largest continent in the world with the second largest population, a vast land of more than 30 million square kilometers, more than 60 countries and regions, and only such a small amount of revenue in a year?

It's hard for Uncle Meng to perform like this.

How about this!

Don’t be discouraged, little comrades, Uncle Meng will definitely fulfill your wishes next time...next time!

Carry it away and invite the next person!

Compared to the first questioner who was unreliable, the second fan from Chengdu asked a much more reliable question.

He claims to be a die-hard Ultraman fan and has a large collection of Ultraman derivative peripherals at home. In order to collect all the Ultra Force equipment, his family once thought he was taking drugs.

His question was direct.

Compared to the Ultraman of the M78 system, I admit that the existing Tiga Dynasty is better. But this does not mean that I like the Ultraman of the parallel world!

I would like to ask Mr. Meng, when will the M78 Xinao you promised be fulfilled? If possible, please give a specific time, thank you!

Well……

Considering that this is a hardcore fan, it may not be appropriate to prevaricate him with I will definitely do it next time.

So Meng Lang hesitated for a moment, and finally raised two fingers: Not next year, the schedule for next year is full. The year after, the year after, it will be launched on time!

The year after tomorrow?

After getting this definite answer, the fan nodded with satisfaction.

Although we still have to wait two years, at least there is hope, right? Compared with the previous answer of painting cakes to satisfy hunger, what are you afraid of waiting for two years?

The third questioner is from Neon.

His question was direct and the focus of everyone's attention. What will ENN look like after Dyna?

the most important is!

The two works of Degardina follow the same world view and background. Will the new Ultraman continue to use it?

Won't!

Meng Lang denied this speculation and replied: The story of Didai's world has come to an end. The new Ultraman will be on the earth in parallel time and space. It is a brand new world view!

The fourth worldview?

Everyone was surprised when they heard this.

You know, since the development of the Ultraman series, there have only been three worldviews: M78 Universe, TPC Universe and Mobile Arcana Universe.

Excluding the animated worldview of Mobile Olympus, there are only two universes: M78 and TPC.

Everyone thought that the TPC universe would have to produce at least 5-6 TV dramas before it would be abandoned by Uncle Meng and create a new world view and background.

did not expect……

After only two TV dramas were filmed, the TPC Universe officially withdrew from the stage of history. Compared to the M78 universe, is this too fast?

However, this is not the point.

After the baptism of Tiga, everyone has been able to accept Ultraman from different worldviews and backgrounds.

At this moment, everyone just wants to know. What is so different about the parallel world that Xin'ao belongs to?

How will Ultraman appear again?

In the world of M78, Ultraman is a member of the Space Guard and is stationed on Earth by the Kingdom of Light.

In the TPC world, Ultraman is either resurrected as a stone statue, or he is born as a Giant of Light from the light scattered in the universe.

So, what about the new world?

In this world, the earth is like the mother of mankind. It is no longer a dead planet, but a Gaia consciousness with mixed information.

Having a premonition that the world is about to be destroyed, in order to resist the invasion, the earth will give the light that symbolizes the earth and the light that symbolizes the ocean, respectively, to two young people with very different personalities. The story begins...

Meng Lang coughed and introduced everyone: Gaia, the light of the earth, and Agur, the light of the ocean, are the protagonists of this work.

The light of the earth and the light of the sea?

It sounds interesting, but the setting of dual protagonists seems to be uncommon in the Ultraman series, right?

How will Uncle Meng arrange it?

Everyone is very curious.

Unfortunately, the roles of the two protagonists and how the plot unfolds are suspected of being spoilers. No matter how everyone asked, Meng Lang always answered with no comment.

OK, OK!

Fans who couldn't ask too many questions simply turned their breakthrough point elsewhere.

For example, leather sheath styling, Ultra Sentai, transformation methods, and more!

This Meng Lang can break the news.

Before coming, he specially asked someone to prepare a CG animation. At this time, this CG finally came in handy.

Through the projection equipment installed on site, everyone saw the CG content.

A strange-looking Ultraman opens his arms to gather photon energy, forming a huge whip-shaped light band on his head. He stands up, leans back, and nods forward. The light band instantly rushes towards the enemy.

Because it is a display effect, the CG is very short, only 15 seconds. These 15 seconds are still the length after slow playback. If played normally, it should be about 10 seconds.

This 15 seconds of content shocked everyone.

This... what is this?

Ultraman's special move?

But isn't Ultraman's special move to cross his hands and release colored light? This is Ultraman's classic must-kill, why was it cancelled?

Cancel, cancel!

Ultraman's action of crossing his hands to release light is quite novel at first sight. After watching it too much, the audience will feel tired of it, and it is not impossible to come up with a new special move.

But you...

Is the action too weird?

This is a new light-killing skill carefully designed by our team, named Photon Blade!

Meng Lang said proudly: How is it? Isn't it cool? Do you feel excited?

There is... what a fart!

Bullshit photon blade, no matter if you look at it horizontally, vertically or lying down, it’s a dandruff attack, right?

wrong!

The average Ultraman is bald, so dandruff should be non-existent. Judging from this look, does it look more like Stupid Hair Killer?

However, your stupid hair is a bit long!

Such a weird nirvana naturally caused a sensation. Fans and media reporters at the scene launched a heated discussion around this strange light.

Some people think it's... not bad!

It's definitely a bit weird, but such a unique light attack is really eye-catching.

Some people think it’s too inferior!

Compared with the previous regular hands crossed light, this weird release method obviously does not conform to their aesthetics.

This is also normal!

Any new thing that appears will cause controversy. Some people accept it and some people object to it. These are all normal reactions.

Meng Lang didn't expect that as soon as this CG was broadcast, it immediately attracted a lot of applause. The audience was as excited as if they had seen an alien.

Even if you think about it with your butt, this is impossible!

Gaia's photons... are stupid, this was the reaction when they first appeared. Some people welcomed it and others frowned. Tsuburaya was also under a lot of pressure at the time.

Is this innovation?

Innovation indeed!

But innovation must be good?

That’s not necessarily the case!

Judging from the feedback from Gaia TV when it was aired, the dull hair light is still there. Although mostly good reviews, there are still many people who resist.

Therefore, after realizing this situation, Tsuburaya promptly added the hands crossed quantum streamline to Gaia, thus eliminating the hidden danger.

It turns out!

If you take too big a step, you'll get involved...

All right!

Regardless of these influences, Daimaosha is definitely an important step for Tsuburaya. It breaks the appearance of traditional nirvana and gives light skills more fancy possibilities.

This also laid a solid foundation for the later Ultraman, whose special moves became more and more fancy.

In addition to Du Mao Sha, Meng Lang also brought the Gaia Leather Holster display this time.

From the basic V1 form, to V2 form, and finally the supreme form, all three leather cases are on display.

Released together with the leather case is a brand new setting system.

Although they have the same three forms, Gaia's form switching is completely different from Tiga Dana's.

Tiga is each has his own strengths.

Compound, powerful, and aerial forms, each has its own area of ​​expertise.

Dyna is route choice.

Miracle and strength represent two different strengthening routes.

Gaia is upgrade to fight monsters!

V1V2 and Supreme can be regarded as levels in the game. Get more power by upgrading.

The three methods represent three completely different setting systems. No one is good or bad, it all depends on how the director and screenwriter arrange it.

Although they are three different leather cases, their shapes are actually “not much different”. If you look closely, you can see that these three leather cases all have the same template.

It's nothing more than changing the color and adding some details.

Uncle Meng keeps changing his colors!

Some old fans sighed sincerely after seeing these three leather cases.

rash:???

Can you blame him?

The original version is like this, what else can he do? It was clearly Tsuburaya's design, but he just copied it exactly as it was. Can this also pass the blame to him?

Tsuburaya will die with his eyes closed!

If you get scolded, you get scolded, you are used to it anyway. In Meng Lang's original words: You can scold me if you want, if you don't buy it, I lose!

He keeps scolding Uncle Meng for not living up to his expectations and always changing his colors to get money, but as soon as new toys come out... Good guys, every one of them is like a mine at home!

Are you cheap?

Ultraman's Creator Dialogue session is almost over here.

Gaia leather cases are on display!

Keep talking, there is nothing more to say. You can't just invite the actors from Gaia Agurhu to demonstrate the transformation live, right?

The idea is feasible!

However, Gaia has not yet established a project. The casting process hasn't even started yet. Where can Meng Lang find actors?

Ultraman has finished speaking, but the Kamen Rider next door hasn't finished speaking yet!

After Meng Lang left the venue, he sneaked into the Kamen Rider Hall with a small stool, wanting to hear what Toshiki was talking about.

result……

Mingui said nothing!

This guy is quite lazy, so he simply took out a dozen sets of Faiz equipment and placed them in the venue for everyone to experience.

As for himself, he leisurely guided everyone with his hands behind his back, how to use this mobile phone with the belt, how to adjust the lighting effect...

Good guy!

Is this the creator of Kamen Rider?

This is simply possessed by the PD toy sales elite!

Take a look at the lively atmosphere at the scene. Kamen Rider 555 hasn't even been released yet. Everyone raised their wallets and asked Toki: Where can I buy the same model?

If Mingui doesn't do sales, it's a waste of talent!

Without alerting the sensitive ghost, Meng Lang took a few glances and decisively turned around and went to the Yalang Restaurant next door.

As a new series!

Although Yalang obtained an independent venue, it had no previous works to accumulate popularity and fans, so the scene was very deserted.

When Meng Lang walked into the venue, Amamiya Keita on the stage was explaining the origin of Hora to an American reporter with the help of a translator.

He is very serious.

Even though he could see that this reporter was not very interested in Hola or even the Yalang series, he still introduced and explained it seriously.

This is a man who does great things!

The Yalang series is not yet famous, so he must seize every publicity opportunity to let more people know about Yalang.

Meng Lang nodded to him, then turned and left.

He couldn't disturb Amamiya, let alone call more people to come to the venue to listen to his explanation. Because there is no need for this.

No matter how good the explanation is, it can’t compare to the real thing!

When the Yalang feature film airs, there will be bread and milk...

The embarrassment now is just the last darkness before dawn, just get over it!
