Feature Shows Extravaganza

Under Meng Lang's leadership, although the company's employees had doubts about the management's decision-making, the Pretty Cure project was still approved.

Before leaving, he left a message.

Whether it's right or wrong, it doesn't matter what you say, it doesn't matter what I say, time and the audience will give the correct answer!

Yes!

Leave everything to time!

If it were ten years ago, the young and frivolous Meng Lang might have said firmly: Who is in favor? Who is against!

Those who agree will stay, and those who oppose will be put away. You won't have to come to work tomorrow!

This is his way of doing things.

But Meng Lang is 34 years old this year, and he is no longer the young and frivolous young man.

He became more humble and diplomatic. At least I won't be rude to others for no reason, and I am willing to listen to every employee's voice and accept every useful suggestion.

People always change!

Meng Lang knew his character shortcomings, and he was working hard to correct them. Maybe this process is slow, but ten years will always bring about some changes in him.

This year is 2025!

In 2014, PD Film and Television Culture Company was established, and Meng Lang took the country by storm with his debut film The King of Firepower. In 2015, PD Film and Television merged with PD Toys to form PD Group...

As of today, it’s exactly ten years!

At a time when Ultraman Gaia and Kamen Rider 555 are on the air, Jetman is being introduced to China, and PD Group is celebrating its 10th anniversary, Meng Lang, the chairman of the group, posted on Weibo made an announcement.

He resigned!

Don't get me wrong, this is not about stepping down as president or stepping down as chairman. The position he officially announced to be retiring was the director of the content production department of PD Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., and was replaced by deputy director Yan Tao.

at the same time!

Through the account Taomi is not Taomi, he also revealed a piece of news:

After Gaia, the 11th live-action TV drama in the Ultraman series will be directed by Yan Tao!

This is an unusual signal!

As we all know, since the birth of the Ultraman series, from the first work Ultraman to the latest Ultraman Gaia, the chief director has always been Meng Lang.

Someone stepped in midway and served as assistant director for a short segment or a theatrical version, but the chief director was always Meng Lang.

Now, he is gone!

For Olympic fans who have been immersed in the surprises created by Gaia and have loved Ultraman for many years, the revelation of this news is tantamount to the sky has fallen.

Panda was in a daze for the whole day and didn't even hear the professor call his name.

Kotaro was stunned for an entire afternoon, suspecting that this was fake news, and even asked for leave to read the original text of the announcement on the Chinese website.

Tony was very confused and asked Parker, who had a fairly good self-taught Chinese vocabulary, to write an email entirely in Chinese for him, asking why?

“My mailbox is blowing up!”

When he couldn't open his mailbox at first, Meng Lang thought his computer was malfunctioning. After changing several computers in a row, he discovered that this was not a computer problem.

Simply the mailbox exploded!

A listed Internet company that provides email services received a phone call from the CEO himself to apologize for this incident.

After urgent research by technicians, about an hour later, Meng Lang finally entered the mailbox and saw the emails from all over the world in various languages.

It’s all about retaining him!

To be honest, even a hard-hearted person like Meng Lang was moved when he saw this scene. He couldn't help but feel a sore nose and almost burst into tears.

Too many emails!

The company that provides email services apologized and said that due to the impact on the server, some emails have been difficult to retrieve.

The mail Meng Lang received was just a drop in the ocean.

In fact!

Since his mailbox crashed and he could no longer accept emails from the outside, more and more fans have gone to the PD official website to leave messages, or called the PD member 24-hour service hotline.

Then……

The official website also crashed!

The customer service department was so busy that they didn't even have time to go to the toilet.

Mr. Meng, why don't you come forward and explain?

Faced with this wave of impact, the current president Chen Huan said helplessly: If this continues, we will not be able to carry out normal business.

What's the explanation?

Meng Lang waved his hands and said, What should I do and do I need them to teach me?

You can't say that...

Chen Huan smiled bitterly and said: The current situation is that everyone thinks you are going to retire.

retire?

What nonsense are you talking about!

Uncle Meng was so active and vigorous that he controlled several women at night, and he could work hard for another twenty years. How come he was reduced to the point of retirement?

He was just reducing his burden, reducing work pressure, and untying Ultraman at the same time.

How can it be such an exaggeration...

But what Chen Huan said makes sense. Now that the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, he, the client, should come forward to clarify.

So, under the auspices of Chen Huan, Meng Lang held a small press conference in the No. 1 conference hall of the PD Building. Some false rumors were clarified and some explanations were given about the content of the announcement.

Who said I retired?

Once again, I am not retiring! Not only do I have no thoughts of retiring now, I will not have any in the next ten years!

Yan Tao will take over. This is an arrangement that was made early. He is a very good director. I believe that in his hands, the Ultraman series will definitely usher in new development opportunities!

Then will you still direct the Ultraman TV series? a reporter from Jiangchuan TV raised his hand and asked.

decide as things go!

Meng Lang shook his head and said: TV dramas are difficult, but movies are possible. In fact, I am planning to shoot an Ultraman movie based on the M78 world view. You can look forward to it!

...George will be appointed as President of PD Europe and America, and Robert will be appointed as Vice President of PD North America and Director of Content Production. These are all personnel changes that have been arranged in advance. Please do not over-interpret them.

Who believes what you said?

The media reporters present are not stupid. Judging from this series of personnel transfers, it is obvious that PD Group has undergone a big change in its leadership team.

All the people coming up are newcomers!

Many people have never heard of people like George and Robert, let alone their works.

Oh, Pandaren!

That's it?

Among this new group of executives, the only one with global fame is Omori.

Because he is one of the supervisors of Kamen Rider Ryuki, AgitΩ and 555, the famous Shirakura Second. His status in the eyes of Mask fans is acceptable, and his reputation is quite high.

But that’s all!

Even the most famous Omori was overshadowed by Bai Cang, and not many people knew him.

So some people questioned it!

Is it really okay to replace a group of mature production directors with a group of newcomers who obviously have not achieved much?

When it comes to the Ultraman, Kamen Rider, Super Sentai and Baby series, fans are worried.

Each of these names, taken individually, is a world-class IP.

What should I do if I mess up if I change someone rashly?

Regarding this question, Meng Lang said unhappily: When Shi Sen left Kamen Rider, you criticized Bai Cang in the same way. But what was the result? Didn't Bai Cang do a good job!

If you don't give newcomers a chance to succeed, how can they achieve results?

The reporters were silent.

After reports of the reception came out, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

Uncle Meng did not retire, he just untied Ultraman and made way for the newcomers. Although the newcomer has no achievements, he can't complain yet.

They just took over and haven't done anything. At least wait until they make a new film, then they can choose to criticize or praise it depending on the situation.

As for Uncle Meng’s new work…

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he actually hinted at it. From now on, the world will be dominated by these young directors, and it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to pick up the director's sleeve again.

Big movie?

That's just an occasional play. The new works that the audience wants to watch refer to TV dramas rather than big movies.

What a shame!

But it’s understandable!

Uncle Meng is almost 40, and his body has been emptied by Mimi. He is not as energetic as he was when he was young. The pressure of working on a new Ultraman movie every year is almost too much to bear.

Choosing to retire at this time is actually the wisest choice.

Otherwise, if you continue to work at a high intensity, it would be normal for you to die suddenly on the set one day. Although everyone was looking forward to Tao Mi's second marriage, Meng Lang didn't want to die from overwork!

It's time to take a break...

Meng Lang felt more relaxed and happy than ever before after he was relieved of his burden.

This is right!

For a rich man like him worth hundreds of billions, a young model playing golf in a club every day is a serious life. How can anyone work on the script until early in the morning every day, and stay in the editing room for three days without taking a shower?

A happy life is just around the corner!

Meng Lang, who had just felt this way, was about to plan his corrupt second half when he suddenly received a call.

Mr. Meng, this script...

Snap! hang up!

Mr. Meng, please don't hang up. I really don't understand. You have time...

No time! Goodbye!

Yan Tao, who dialed the phone for the third time, said at the fastest speed in his life: Mr. Meng, the boss lady said that you teach your children to count sheep at home. I don't think sheep are fun. How about we go play ball together?

What ball to play?

What are you good at? Let's fight on that!

Sure! See you at the gym!

Although Yan Tao just wanted to trick him out and discuss official matters in the name of playing. But Meng Lang didn't want to expose him, because raising children was really boring.

Xiaotao, this little bastard!

It was rare that my father was in a good mood and he would accompany him to build blocks at home. This bastard didn't appreciate it and would rather play with the nanny than with him.

If it hadn't been his biological cub, he would have stuffed Xiao Tao into a box and left it on the side of the road for others to take away.

It really pisses me off!

After leaving the child with his mother and nanny, Meng Lang changed into sportswear and drove to the city sports center.

Yan Tao arrived early!

This guy didn't look serious at first glance. He didn't even change his clothes, he was still in the same suit.

Meng Lang glanced at him, picked up the table tennis racket and asked, How do you think? Do you want me to give in to you? I'm really good at this!

Need not!

Yan Tao touched the back of his head and said honestly and honestly: I won the championship in provincial and municipal competitions, oh... in the youth category!

That’s quite strong!

Everyone says that in the field of table tennis, the world championship is not the end, but the Chinese national championship is!

Yan Tao can win the provincial and municipal championships in the youth group. It seems that he was a good player at this game when he was a child and has great talent.

As for why I didn’t become an athlete…

Maybe the answer is very simple, just for money! Which parent is willing to let their child become an athlete without a guaranteed income if they don't produce results?

The table tennis hall is very lively!

After all, it is a national level sport, and there are many people in the hall, mainly the elderly and children. Young people like Meng Lang and Yan Tao are rarely seen.

Yo? Meng Heizhu is here too?

Would you like to compare notes?

don't want!

Meng Lang decisively rejected the old man and refused to fight him. Who knows if this ordinary old man could be a retired world champion?

It’s better to abuse food!

Although Yan Tao was very strong when he was a child, his skills have declined greatly since he has not played for so many years, but he is still on a par with Meng Lang.

Commonly known as rookies pecking each other!

After playing for a while, both of them were sweating and sat next to them to rest.

Taking advantage of this gap, Yan Tao also raised doubts about his work.

I don't quite understand what you said in the plan. Can you explain it to me?

Which sentence?

Just a bond, someone will inherit it and shine again!

This...

Meng Lang wiped the sweat on his forehead with a towel and said with a smile: This is actually a line that explains the core setting of this drama.

Nexus! Bond!

After repeating it twice, Meng Lang said with a faint smile: Just like the situation you are in now, light is a bond, passed down from me to you, and continues to shine!

If I am a fit person from the previous generation, then you are the second generation! The decision is yours, why bother asking me what to do?

Yan Tao was thoughtful.

Meng Lang is a fit person of the first generation and Yan Tao is a fit person of the second generation. Since he inherited the light, he should have his own opinions. How can he ask Mr. Meng about everything?

It can be heard from this sentence that Meng Lang is very dissatisfied with Yan Tao's performance.

His subtext is straightforward.

If you have to ask me what to do with everything, then why do I need you as a director? Why should I pay you a salary? Can't I do it myself?

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Yan Tao nodded and said: Mr. Meng, I understand!

As long as you know!

Meng Lang looked at the table in the distance, smiled slightly and said, I know you are under a lot of pressure now and are pushing yourself very hard, but this is a test you must go through, and I can't help you.

Do it well!

If there is any problem that really cannot be solved, come to me at any time. But you can make the decision. I hope you make your own decision.

correct……

Meng Lang was about to get up and leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked Yan Tao, Isn't Nexus' budget a little tight?

Hmm...a little nervous!

Yan Tao whispered: Gemini and Cancer Paradise have taken away too much money. The budget Mr. Chen can allocate to me is only 250 million...

That's it!

Meng Lang thought for a while and then said, I'll tell Mimi that in the name of her personal investor, I'll get you another 250 million to round up the figure.

Is this called rounding up?

250 million + 250 million = 500 million!

This has been doubled, so why not make up for it? Is super doubling what rich people call rounding up?
