Feature Shows Extravaganza

Can a witch turn back into a normal human being?

After watching the sample, Meng Lang couldn't help but ask Shi Sen: If... a certain witch's character is very lovable and becomes very popular after being broadcast, can she still be resurrected?

cannot!

Ishimori shook his head and said: They are failed experiments. From the moment the experiment started, they have lost their identity as human beings.

Even if the situation you mentioned occurs, a certain witch is very popular and loved by the audience. We may produce a series of extra chapters and special chapters for her, but resurrection is absolutely impossible.

This is a tragedy...

A complete tragedy!

In this show, everyone will die, even the protagonist Sakura.

only!

Sakura is a perfect alienated life form. Even if she dies once or twice, she can be resurrected smoothly. But the rest of the supporting characters, as alienated semi-finished products, are really dead when they die.

How to arrange the ending?

Meng Lang took a sip of tea and said with regret, Considering the Heroes Company series, you can't kill Sakura, right?

Sakura is an immortal species!

Everyone will die, but she will not! Even if she commits suicide, she will not die!

The last chapter of Alien Girl 2 is titled The Last Witch. This name has already revealed Sakura's tragic fate.

I understand……

In the eyes of the audience, Sakura is the hero who eradicates witches and saves the world.

But in the eyes of the human government in the show, Sakura is no different from a witch. No one knows whether Sakura will lose control... If Sakura loses control, she will pose a greater threat to humanity than all the witches combined!

When the threat of witches is not eliminated, humans need Sakura as a powerful teammate.

If witches are eradicated, humans will definitely turn their guns immediately and use all their strength to eradicate the last witch, the former hero Sakura...

What a tragedy indeed!

As a perfect alienated life form, Sakura will never die easily. Humanity's battle against her is destined to be in vain.

But what would Sakura think?

She has always seen herself as a human being and has stood in the shoes of a human being. As a result, the enemy she finally faced was the human being she was protecting.

What an ironic scene!

At first, Meng Lang thought that the ending of Alien Girl 2 would probably be Sakura vs. the strongest witch.

Unfortunately, he underestimated Ishimori.

Who would have thought that the ending would be Sakura vs. humans? There is no final BOSS in the ending, and there is no justice will prevail. Everyone is a loser.

What was the outcome of the battle?

Lost, all lost...

Ishimori explained: In order to fight against Sakura, humans launched the [Life Leap] Project. They attempted to use meteorological weapons to spread alienated cells around the world and artificially create a batch of witch weapons. The results can be imagined.

The witch weapon plan failed. Most humans were unable to control the power across life levels and died in the process of alienation.

The remaining humans have also become new witches/wizards, and they have established a new civilization on the ruins.

Sakura didn't want to take action against humans, so she committed suicide and chose to hibernate. Maybe after the disaster of alienation passes, she will wake up again and integrate into society with a new identity...

Quite restrained!

Meng Lang originally thought that due to Sakura's level of perversion and the endless high-tech weapons that humans were developing, she would be able to survive. This battle is probably a star explosion.

The results were surprising.

Human beings try their best to kill themselves, and finally kill themselves. A new Witch Technological Civilization is established, and the earth moves towards a new era.

Sakura is still too kind!

Even if she becomes hostile to humans, she does not want to take action, but commits suicide to completely reassure humans.

However, she can't die.

If you can't kill yourself, you can only choose a place to sleep.

When human beings commit suicide, a new civilization will be established. Many, many years later, when no one remembers the original Alienation Disaster, maybe Sakura will wake up.

A grand and romantic ending!

Because it is a parallel world line, Ishimori is not worried that playing this way will prevent Sakura from other world lines from appearing.

In fact, the reason why the ending was so tragic cannot be entirely blamed on Shi Sen. Meng Lang had to take at least half of the blame.

Because he said...

There will be no new works in the Alienated Girl series for at least 10 years.

If possible, extend the timeline as much as possible. Let the audience give up on the sequel and stop bothering me every day!

Ishimori thought so.

Ten years later, most of the president's five and seven-year-old photos will be turned into black and white photos and hung on the wall for people to mourn.

If that's the case, why should we consider whether to make a sequel or not?

Even after ten or twenty years, they are still not dead, PD is not bankrupt, and the new president decides to film Alien Girl 3, it is none of their business!

No way? No way?

PD in 20X0 couldn't even find a reliable producer, so it had to involve two bad old men?

Meng Lang and Shi Sen both felt that Alienated Girl 3 probably had nothing to do with them anymore. Just have fun and let yourself enjoy it first!

Sequel?

Sorry, that's about the little black pig!

That’s it anyway!

As for whether the little black pig will curse them for cheating when he grows up, urinate on Shi Sen's grave, and sign agree to donate to Meng Lang in the hospital bed, then who cares?

“Excellent work!”

Meng Lang clapped softly and congratulated Shi Sen, whose sword was still young.

Shi Sen smiled slightly, turned off the projector and said to Meng Lang: It's been a long time since I've filmed a movie. It's rare to find some touch. President, I have an immature idea!

you say.

Godzilla inspired me. Even without a hero, the simple destruction of monsters can still stimulate the audience...

So, I wanted to make a monster disaster movie.

sure, no problem!

Meng Lang happily agreed: Monster themes are enduring, and disaster movies also have the potential to become popular. Have you decided what monster you want to make?

not yet!

Shi Sen shook his head and said, Do you have any recommendations?

That’s a lot…

Monster disaster movies have always been an evergreen tree in the film market. Hollywood also loves this theme and releases a series of monster disaster blockbusters every year.

Excellent videos are endless!

Works such as Anaconda, Alien and King Kong are regarded as classics by movie fans.

but……

All these works have a problem!

Fire is fire! The box office was pretty good, but the peripheral derivatives didn’t make much money!

Maybe King Kong made a lot of money!

But compared to another monster disaster movie, King Kong is indeed a junior work.

That's right!

Jurassic Park!

Also a monster disaster movie, Jurassic Park achieved a double harvest of box office and peripherals.

This is also the reason why Jurassic Park has made one sequel after another, while similar movies such as Alien and Anaconda have always had difficulty producing sequels.

Don’t always think that just because a movie has high box office, you can make a sequel!

Truck Driver Cameron has explained that the box office can only account for about 20-30% of the revenue of an excellent Hollywood science fiction film. The rest is all income from peripheral derivatives.

Transformers' box office is not as high as Avatar's, right?

Why are there so many sequels to Transformers, and why is it that in order to make the sequel, the bombshell is willing to slap himself in the face, but the sequel to Avatar is difficult to produce?

Are you saying truck drivers are burning money?

For a capitalist, as long as it can create profits for him, is he still afraid of you filming movies or burning money?

Of course, it is a fact that the truck driver has idol baggage and does not want to ruin the Avatar IP.

But this cannot hide the fact that Avatar does not make as much money as Transformers!

If Avatar really makes a lot of money, even if Cameron doesn't want to make it, the studio will find another director to make it for him, just like they did with Terminator.

pity……

Avatar IP is worthless!

The carefully crafted Pandora planet, including the magical Avatar, performed mediocrely in the peripheral derivatives market, and consumers simply refused to accept it.

On the contrary, it is iron monsters such as Terminators and Autobot Decepticons who can earn more money.

If Meng Lang were a movie fan or an ordinary director, he would definitely admire classics like Anaconda or Alien.

But he is not!

He is the owner of the company and he must be responsible for the company's revenue so that he can pay his employees.

So his answer can only be Jurassic Park!

Dinosaur?

After listening to Meng Lang's narration, Shi Sen was quite surprised and said: I thought about sharks, spiders, and even crocodile lizards, but I didn't expect that you recommended dinosaurs!

Of course it's a dinosaur!

Because dinosaurs are so unfamiliar, people lack understanding of these creatures. Have you heard a saying? Fear often comes from the unknown!

That makes sense!

Ishimori nodded and said: Because of the unknown, so fear? If it is a dinosaur, it can indeed satisfy this point.

Well, think about it first.

Meng Lang smiled and said, If you have any new ideas, remember to communicate with me as soon as possible. I have something else to do, so we'll talk when you have time!

When he said something happened, it was not an excuse.

While he was chatting with Shi Sen, Chen Huan sent him a WeChat message.

Li Xinglong, who had previously collaborated with Warrior in Golden Armor and caused harm to several Chinese film and television giants, suddenly visited PD Film and Television and asked to meet him.

Meng Lang is also very curious!

Why did Li Xinglong, the god of plague, come to him this time?

It can’t be cooperation, right?

To be honest, if someone else came to talk about cooperation, Meng Lang would always be more or less interested.

But Li Xinglong...

In the CEO's office of PD Building, Meng Lang met Chen Huan and Li Xinglong.

Mr. Meng, we meet again!

Hello!

After all, they are old acquaintances. Although they are trolled all day long on Weibo, privately we are all civilized people and will not start fighting when they meet.

Li Xinglong is very enthusiastic.

As soon as they met, Meng Lang and Chen Huan were cordially invited to have lunch at Fuyuan Building.

Meng Lang declined the invitation.

Director Li, if you have anything to say, just tell me, no need to be so polite!

That's okay!

Li Xinglong is also a straightforward person and bluntly stated his purpose.

It turns out that this guy hooked up with a wealthy man again and planned to set up his own film and television company. This time I came to Meng Lang mainly because I wanted to buy back the copyright of Warrior in Golden Armor.

Director Li, you are doing well!

Meng Lang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Xinglong not only survived the setback of the Mermaid Warrior, but also wanted to set up his own film and television company.

What kind of genius is this?

The three giants in the Chinese film and television industry, Leah, Haitian and PD, were harmed by him one by one.

Just when everyone thought that this guy would definitely not be able to survive after offending the Big Three, he hooked up with a wealthy layman again!

Were you a social butterfly in your previous life?

I am becoming more and more proficient in this ability of investing and defrauding money!

If you have this ability, what kind of director would you be? Hurry up and submit a resume to Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Morgan Stanley. Wouldn't it be a matter of minutes to dominate Wall Street and reach the top of your life?

Meng Lang admired this kind of person!

A born little devil who deceives people into investing in him, and when he fails, he deceives another wealthy person... and the cycle goes on and on, and he still remains standing!

To be honest, he was convinced.

However, he is still convinced. It is impossible for Li Xinglong to buy back the Golden Armored Warrior.

Meng Hei Pig is born with Pixiu!

PD Company, which has always been only in but not out, has no tradition of selling out ancestral property?

Not for sale!

No matter how much money I give, I won't sell it!

Meng Lang was very resolute and refused to agree to Li Xinglong's request.

Although Warrior in Golden Armor looks a bit uglier, it is still a well-known IP. Even if there is no sequel, the annual toy revenue will be more than 30 million.

Doesn’t sound like much!

More than 30 million yuan a year, the profit after deducting costs and taxes is only more than 10 million yuan. On average, there are almost a million per month.

For the richest man Meng Tsai, this money is just enough to fill his teeth, and it is really not much.

But you have to see who you compare with!

For PD, the income from Warrior in Armor is negligible. . But for other companies, a net income of more than 10 million a year is already considered a pillar industry.

Why sell it to others?

I have money!

Li Xinglong also knew that it would be difficult to convince this black pig without some blood. So, he showed his sincerity.

Two fingers!

hiss!

Meng Lang, who had been very resolute before, suddenly changed his expression when he saw these two fingers.

Sell!

All can be sold!

There is nothing not for sale in this world. The reason why you can't buy it is simply because you don't pay enough.

As long as enough money is given, not to mention Ultraman, Kamen Rider and Super Sentai, let alone Shinji, they can all be sold.

certainly!

If Li Xinglong has a big appetite and wants to buy Meng Zai's body and soul, that's okay.

It's a pity that he didn't buy it...

The quoted price of 200 million does not take into account the impact of currency depreciation. If Li Xinglong buys it back, he will have to operate it for 20 years to recover the capital.

20 years?

Can Golden Armor Warrior operate for 20 years?

If you say this, let alone Mengzi who doesn't believe it, the old man in the park will laugh out loud.

With the influence of Warrior in Golden Armor, regardless of the sequel. In ten years at most, no one will care about this IP.

Therefore, 100 million is a fair price!

Li Xinglong was willing to pay such a high premium to buy a Warrior in Golden Armor that was on the verge of becoming obsolete. Of course, he was not doing charity.

Meng Lang also guessed what he was thinking.

It’s nothing more than a “bet” on the sequel!

Just buy it back and work on a sequel. Not only can it extend the life cycle of Warrior in Armor, but it can also make more money from the sequel.

As for whether you can win the bet?

No one knows!

Don't worry, there will be a chapter later
