Feature Shows Extravaganza

Of course, killing a monster with one punch is sheer nonsense, Gaia is not that strong yet.

Gob, the monster that appeared in the first episode, is known as the space battle beast and was summoned by the destruction of the root and sent to earth to fight in the front line, so he is also very powerful.

There are probably four versions of Gob!

The strongest version among them appeared in Tsuburaya's official novel Ultraman Orb Chronicles. It severely injured Orb and beat Hong Kai into amnesia. It has a remarkable record!

Although the Gob who appeared in the first episode of Gaia TV is only the basic version, Gaia at this time is also in the V1 basic form.

The foundation is laid, whoever wins decides!

There is no doubt that Gaia won this battle, so he became the protagonist, while the miserable Gob could only be reduced to cannon fodder.

The first battle of the Three Heroes of Heisei!

Tiga shows his sharpness in 1v2, Dyna Mars wheel battle is easy, and as for Gaia, the destroyer of the earth...

At this time, you can definitely invite Aihara Ryu and ask Gaia loudly: Are you still an Ultra Warrior? See what you've protected?

Spicy is really rich!

The first battle is arranged in the city, miniature model? Blow it up! Gob leather case? Blow it up hard!

During the Gaia period, Tsuburaya was so rich with money that many of the unnecessary miniatures and leather cases were blown up!

Of course, the model is really awesome!

And the leather case...

What’s fried is just an imitation!

Not to mention Tsuburaya's reluctance to part with the genuine leather case, the explosion effect of the genuine leather case is not very good-looking either.

Don't ask Mengzi why he knows.

In order to explore the truth, he actually conducted a comparative experiment. The imitation made of foam board has a more shocking explosion effect and an obvious crushing effect.

As for genuine leather cases, even if the amount of explosives is increased, the effect of the explosion is just a pile of rags flying around.

Not pretty at all!

And it’s easy to be fooled. Trying to blow up a genuine leather case is simply asking for trouble.

After being a fool once and satisfying his curiosity, the monsters that Meng Lang photographed and exploded were all foam imitations, the motionless kind!

How to judge whether it is a real explosion or a special effect?

In fact, the method is very simple!

You only need to look carefully to see if there are any traces of editing shots after Ultraman performs his special moves, and whether the monsters are motionless like sculptures.

Generally speaking, if a monster stands still and explodes, that's a real explosion! And when the monster explodes while struggling, that is special effects synthesis.

Gaia must be really hot!

Yuangu is not short of money, and neither is Mengzi. It’s just a joke to blow up one or two imitations!

Rather than the explosion of the holster, what the audience cared more about was the Photon Blade mentioned by Mengzi during the previous carnival.

Commonly known as Stupid Killing!

Ever since the CG effects of this nirvana were revealed at the last carnival, the audience has already begun to look forward to it.

How will it be used in actual combat?

How does such a long, stupid hair grow?

Now the answer is revealed!

Gaia covered her head with her hands to gather the photon energy, and a long hair suddenly appeared on the top of her head. With a flick of the force, the enemy died under the hair.

Not to mention, it’s pretty cool!

Although some people complain that this fancy light skill has no soul, it is still classic and tasteful as the previous hand-painted light.

But this is only a minority!

Meng Lang did not give up on optical painting. He also established a studio specializing in optical painting. But this thing is too time-consuming and labor-intensive and is far less lightweight than digital special effects.

How should I say this...

If optical painting is an unearthed cultural relic, then digital special effects are gorgeous and exquisite modern products!

Cultural relics have historical value, but have no practical value. As for modern commodities, although they lack historical value, they are practical!

Meng Lang is a pragmatist!

Whatever the audience needs and wants to see, he will do it. It’s impossible to ignore the needs of the main audience in order to cater to the “nostalgia” of a small group of people, right?

So, nothing to fuss about.

Digital special effects are the mainstream trend. Although the Photon Blade is flashy, children like this skill. What can you do?

Gaia is different from Digardina, Meng Lang chose to shoot and then broadcast.

Two episodes a day!

This broadcast model meets the needs of domestic audiences. Two episodes every night are enough for them to watch.

Although, two episodes are not enough.

For viewers who are struggling to follow the drama, let alone two episodes a day, even if it is broadcast for 20 episodes a day, they may not be satisfied.

Just like readers of online articles, there are never too few updates. Unless the author finishes it in one day, there will always be someone to urge for updates!

Things are a little better in Gaia!

After all, there is no harm without comparison! Compared with the weekly broadcast of Tiga Dana in the previous two years, the two daily episodes of Gaia are already a sparse update.

The audience unanimously praised it!

On the country's largest film and television review website [Sprouting], Ultraman Gaia, which just premiered, received 54,000 reviews, the vast majority of which gave it a high score of eight or more.

The special effects are great! The setting of the protagonist, the genius scientist, is very innovative. I look forward to the appearance of the second protagonist! PS: The idiot is so handsome!

This is a comment written by a die-hard Ultraman fan nicknamed Zophie's Wife Barton, which ranks at the top of the list of likes!

Yang Mingjin, a well-known film and television critic, the number one PD Chafan, and a popular self-media blogger, also published a review article immediately through his public account, praising Ultraman Gaia.

Before Gaia was broadcast, I was very worried about the quality of this work. My friends all laughed at me for being unreasonable. The quality of the work directed by Meng Lang is absolutely guaranteed, so what is there to worry about?

They are right!

There's nothing to worry about, that's Meng Lang! How many records has he broken in the ten years since his debut? How many pessimistic experts have you slapped in the face?

I believe in him and I believe that Gaia will be an excellent work.

But I'm still worried!

With Mr. Qiao's death, the Ultraman series has lost a master of miniatures. As a classic series of giant tokusatsu, the importance of miniatures is self-evident.

Because of this, I am worried that after losing Mr. Qiao, the quality of Ultraman miniatures will suddenly drop and become extremely eye-catching...

Fortunately, this didn't happen.

In the credits at the end of the film, I noticed an inconspicuous name, the leader of the model and props team, Tan Song!

This name aroused my curiosity. When I asked a PD friend to find out information about Tan Song for me, I couldn't sleep that night...

Although Mr. Qiao has left us, his disciples have shouldered the heavy burden and carried the miniature world.

Mr. Qiao from Paradise will surely smile with relief after watching last night's broadcast of Gaia!

Yang Mingjin?

I’m always a licker!

This person is really outrageous!

There are people who praise the plot, settings, and special effects, even Mengzi, but he is the only one who praises the models and props!

Forget it, he even forced it from the credits at the end of the film to the deceased Mr. Qiao. This operation makes people have to accept it.

Moreover, he hasn’t confiscated the money!

Can you believe this?

Yang Mingjin had a lot of bad money from the PD, and he himself admitted that he often received dog food from Meng Zai.

But most of the articles he collects money for recommend new products under PD Toys, which are also commonly known as advertising soft articles to bring goods to PD Toys!

As for this kind of film and television reviews?

Sorry, no money!

Gaia is so popular, and with the popularity of the Ultraman IP, there is no need to buy such soft articles for promotion.

That is to say...

Yang Mingjin chose the topic so carefully, licked it so hard, and was so attentive. It was all voluntary labor and he didn't get a penny.

So, here comes the problem!

Why is he licking it awkwardly?

After so many years of debut, Yang Mingjin has become famous. If you are being paid, just give up your face and lick it.

Not paying for it but still licking it?

Isn't this too despicable? Is Meng Heizhu his biological father? As for fighting so hard?

Many people don't understand.

But as Yang Mingjin's ten-year old fan and financier father, Meng Lang saw it clearly.

He is here to harvest traffic!

Put it this way, it may be difficult to understand.

To harvest traffic or catch up on the popularity, just write an article with the word Gaia in it, so why bother?

In fact, the reason is very simple!

What made Yang Mingjin famous? The answer is to lick PD! More than 90% of his fans are PD fans.

This group is not small!

In the past ten years, with the release of one classic work after another, PD has attracted hundreds of millions of potential fans.

And, this is just domestic.

Looking around the world, there will only be more PD fans.

Among the many PD fans, there are many extreme fans. They cannot see anyone criticizing PD's works and will always defend Uncle Meng in various ways.

This group of people is called Meng Xiaozi!

More than 90% of Yang Mingjin's fans are loyal fans of PD. More than half of these PD fans are Meng Xiaozi.

These people most like to read articles about Yang Mingjin licking PD and Uncle Meng in a fancy way!

Do you know how to prescribe the right medicine?

Yang Mingjin himself is also a Meng Xiaozi. How can he not know what fans like to watch? It makes sense to write an article like this.

This is similar to the mobile phone review circle, where everyone does not receive any money but brags about Apple's reviews, all for the sake of traffic.

There are really too many Meng Xiaozi!

Today's PD, or Meng Lang, is in a similar situation to Apple in the mobile phone industry. Even if a work is released in a normal way, even if it has no highlights, there will still be a large group of people who will praise it in different ways.

Even worse than Apple...

With the death of Steve Jobs, Apple's product strength has gradually declined, and at least there are still a lot of criticisms.

But PD doesn’t have this problem.

The quality of PD works is guaranteed, and the results are better than the last. Meng Xiaozi was obviously used by passers-by to ridicule idiot fans, but it has also become a compliment.

Everyone strives to be Meng Xiaozi!

Words such as See you filial piety and Happy filial piety have also become jokes that PD fans often talk about.

to be honest!

In this environment, many people are afraid to speak ill of PD for fear of causing public outrage.

A well-known director even said a famous saying about this phenomenon at a literary and art symposium: While you are busy trying to please the audience born in the 70s and 80s, Meng Lang has already firmly captured the audience born in the 2000s and 10s!

What do you use to fight him?

As the post-90s and post-00s generations gradually take over social power and make their own voices heard, isn’t this normal?

Don't even think about it...

In the early years, how badly did Meng Lang get scolded by middle-aged and elderly people?

If the audience is a river, many directors and film and television companies are squatting in the lower reaches of the river to collect water. No matter how the times change, there will always be a fixed group of young and middle-aged people.

But Meng Lang was lucky, he went directly to the upper reaches of the river and intercepted the water. At this time, others were still downstream, staring at the cracked river bed in a daze...

Meng Heizhu is so bad!

He cut off all the children, and when they grew up, they naturally became the new Meng Xiaozi.

But what about others?

We agreed to get water together, but you secretly drove an excavator to change the direction of the river? How can any individual do such a wicked thing?

What does it mean to win in the future?

Meng Lang, who was leaning back tactically, felt very comfortable when he saw his colleagues who were unable to regret it.

Ten years ago, he was a street rat!

The King of Fire was a hit in the ratings, but it was sprayed with blood. Hundreds of thousands of people commented on the sprout forum, but there was only a tiny bit of praise.

Great now!

Ultraman Gaia has only aired two episodes, and only three hours after it was launched, it has already been awarded the title of Best Work of the Year in advance.

Low score? Bad review?

It’s not that there are no low scores and negative reviews, but in the face of a flood of good reviews and high scores, what’s the point of the persistence of a few people?

Mengzi is still the same Mengzi!

No matter what you think of him, whether you admit it or not, he has already stood at the top of the Chinese film and television industry and won the present and the future.

Gaia is just the beginning!

As time goes by and the original PD fans gradually grow up, Meng Lang's base will only become more and more solid.

There will be more and more Meng Xiaozi!

It is a certainty that Meng Lang and Peng Da will leave their mark in film history.

Although Meng Lang didn't care.

Compared with these illusory honors, he cares more about the income and returns of his works, that is, ratings and sales of toy derivatives.

The ratings are quite stable.

8.14% ranks first in the same period!

It is normal not to break the tenth mark. After all, many viewers use the Internet to watch on-demand, which diverts part of the ratings.

no way……

In recent years, the viewership share of TV platforms has been completely eroded by “online videos” and “online live broadcasts”.

“Young people are staying out of the living room!”

This is the title of a report written by Director Tao, and it is also a summary of the current television media industry.

The general trend is, let it take its course!

Meng Lang was not affected by the decline in ratings of Gaia, which was not as good as its predecessors Tiga and Dyna.

PD does not rely on ratings and box office to make a living!

He said ten years ago that making TV series was just to sell toys. As long as the toys can still be sold, it doesn't matter if the ratings drop!

The toys are selling well.

The Gaia series adopts the setting of form upgrade instead of form switching for the first time.

This setting has promoted toy sales to a certain extent.

If it is a form switch...

Child A bought a Miracle Dyna and child B bought a Strong Dyna. They both had a great time.

The form can be upgraded. Child A bought V1 Gaia, and child B bought V2 Gaia. Who do you think is the happiest when A and B play together?

Didn't expect it!

It’s actually Uncle Meng!

There will be another chapter later
