Feature Shows Extravaganza

The leading role has been finalized, but the casting process is still not over because...

There is more than one starring role!

The character played by Ren Mirai is Mebius, and in Legend of the Super Galaxy, in addition to Mebius, there are also human bodies of Dyna, the first generation and Severn.

These three people don't need to cast, they just make a phone call and ask the actors to arrange their schedules in advance.

But Ray, the Leonix warrior with Rayblad genes, needed to recruit a separate actor!

Where did this character come from?

Many Chinese audiences expressed confusion about the character Thunder. They were quite unfamiliar with this human hero who didn't look like Ultraman.

Never even heard of it!

In fact, he can be considered an Old Man Ultra. He filmed a TV series Super Galaxy Monster Fight in 2007, and filmed the second season in 2008, and then participated in Super Galaxy Legend.

The Big Monster Fighting Series invented a race called Leonix and gave birth to a new Monster VS Monster combat system.

This series had a good response in Neon, but its performance in China was mediocre.

Chinese audiences, especially Chinese children, will notice that there is no Ultraman in your show? Then he turned his back on the show and stopped watching it.

For this reason, Lei is a very strange character in the eyes of Chinese audiences.

There is no doubt that Tsuburaya wants to flatter him!

Therefore, there are endless works about big monster fighting, and Lei can also become one of the protagonists of Super Galaxy Legend.

But Tsuburaya failed to hold him up, which is also true!

Compared with the traditional and deeply rooted system of Ultraman fighting little monsters, the Leonix system of monsters VS monsters using combat instruments cannot replace the former's position in the minds of the audience.

The audience couldn't see Ultraman, so they felt panicked!

You say Leonix is ​​very strong?

I also admit that he is very strong, but you are just a human being less than two meters tall. How can you reassure the audience when facing a behemoth that is often dozens of meters tall?

But it's definitely fun.

When he first drafted the project, Meng Lang thought of deleting the Thunder scene and leaving it to other Ultramen.

But then I thought about it!

The Leonix system seems to be pretty good for selling toys and developing games, so I might as well stay and try it out with a TV series.

So it was retained.

The actor Xiao Yan who plays Thunder is a newcomer. He has played soy sauce in Armor Warrior before, and Meng Lang was deeply impressed by him.

Very energetic guy!

Because of his name, the protagonist of a popular online novel is often ridiculed as the Emperor of Fire, which is an interesting thing.

At this point, the four leading actors are in place.

The first generation Meng Nan (Meng Lang), Saiwen Zhuxingtuan (Wang Fei), Menbius Renfu and Lei (Xiao Yan).

Why is my real name the only one? Ren Weilai said shamefully.

Everyone has a character name, but he doesn't. Regardless of the character name or the real name, they are all the same.

You don't like it?

Meng Lang murmured: Then I'll change it to Yang Future, Zhang Future and Li Future. What do you think?

Ren Future: ...

He didn't quite understand why Mr. Meng didn't let go of the word future? Do these two words contain some ultra-truth?

bingo!

Congratulations on guessing it correctly. Future's name really has a special meaning in it.

What does it mean?

A future without a future is not the future I want! Meng Lang said nonsense on the spot without a red face and a heartbeat.

Not to mention, this sentence is really nice.

After learning that this character name was not deliberately teasing him by Mr. Meng, but that it actually had a meaning, Ren Future no longer struggled with the matter of his real name becoming the character name.

Okay, let's go back and prepare!

Meng Lang looked at the calendar and said, Next Monday, remember to report to Studio 3 on time. There aren't many human scenes, so let's try to wrap it up as soon as possible!

This is the truth!

In the entire hour and a half of Legend of the Galaxy, the vast majority of scenes are made with leather suits, leaving very few scenes for human bodies to perform.

Meng Lang estimates...

The human scenes can be shot in two weeks at most, or even in one week.

After all, there’s no need to even show off the exterior scenes.

The four big men put on their costumes, stood in front of the green screen and read a few lines, and the scene was almost finished.

The big head is all in the later stage!

Someone once commented on Legend of the Super Galaxy: Compared with Ultra Story in 1984, the Kingdom of Light in Legend of the Super Galaxy in 2011 seems to have changed from a tribe to a future world overnight!

No exaggeration!

In the past 30 years, digital special effects technology has developed by leaps and bounds, and Tsuburaya's financial distress has also been alleviated to a certain extent. The Kingdom of Light, which is like the Crystal City, is indeed much stronger than the time of Ultra Story.

However, there are still flaws.

The Kingdom of Light in Super Galaxy Legend is still too petty in its presentation. Except for a few buildings such as the Ultra Arena, Plasma Spark Tower and Assembly Square that are impressive, there is nothing to show in other places.

This made Meng Lang very dissatisfied.

He hoped to have a bird's eye view shot, looking down at the Kingdom of Light from a high altitude, to immediately attract the audience's attention in the first 10 seconds of the movie.

This gave the special effects team a headache!

A bird's eye view of the Kingdom of Light?

How to get a bird's eye view? What should the Kingdom of Light look like? What are the landmark buildings?

It’s hard to show pure special effects!

It’s not that the special effects technology isn’t enough, but it’s just that it’s too expensive. Meng Lang's proposal was half model and half special effects, which complement each other to complete this opening bird's-eye view shot.

Key buildings such as Plasma Spark Tower, Ultra Arena and Ultra Airport are built using realistic miniature models, while other buildings are supplemented by special effects maps.

This is much more convenient!

Mr. Meng gave specific implementation methods, and the special effects team did not dare to question anything. Anyway, it was not their own money that was burned, so just do it!

In addition to optimizing the scene of the Kingdom of Light, the scene of the K76 planet that Zero trained on also needs to be optimized...

As Meng Lang was talking, he suddenly thought of the scene in the original version where K76 resembled a volcano, and shook his head.

The atmosphere is there!

But the feeling of desolation is not enough!

In the setting, K76 is an extremely desolate and lonely planet, and it is also one of the planets with the harsher environment in the universe.

The round valley is covered with a pale red sky, and the lava rocky beach ground does have that flavor, but it is not enough. It should be more desolate and lonely!

What?

You ask, how do cute butts survive in such a harsh environment?

Isn't this simple?

Of course it is the beloved concubine that Master Sai brought here to relieve his loneliness!

Super Galaxy Legend has four main scenes. In addition to the Kingdom of Light (normal) and the K76 planet where Zero trained, there are also the Kingdom of Light (frozen) and the Monster Cemetery.

These two areas also need to be optimized!

Let’s not talk about the Frozen Kingdom of Light. The original version is quite good. We just need to optimize the “wind and snow” details and the ice layer effect.

But Monster Graveyard…

Honestly, how the hell is this different from the K76? It’s completely featureless, and there’s nothing special about the “Monster Graveyard” at all.

Okay, I've written it all down!

Yang Ping closed his notebook and asked, Mr. Meng, is there anything else you need me to arrange?

Gone……

Just as Meng Lang finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and said, I almost forgot, there are also leather actors! Ask the leather center, how many leather actors can be at most?

Well...is it in high demand?

It's not very big. The main reason is that when Beria is making trouble in the Kingdom of Light, he needs some people to support the scene...to create the feeling of a sea of ​​people, do you understand?

Meng Lang gestured: They don't need to take action, they just need to put on simple leather jackets and get together to figure out the starting moves for fighting!

It’s called “Dragon Set Ao” for short!

This kind of people can't even get beaten in their turn.

After all, those who can be beaten by Beria are at least named and surnamed. For example, that old Mai... nobody people like this can just be responsible for watching.

Hearing this, Yang Ping suddenly had an idea: In this case, the requirements for leather actors are not high, can we use volunteers?

Um...ok!

Meng Lang nodded.

In Super Galaxy Legend, there are too many tricks. It would be a bit of a waste if each one had a professional-grade leather actor.

Just ask for volunteers!

As soon as these volunteers heard that they could appear in the Ultraman Movie, they came without any payment and even brought their own dry food.

I would go back and customize a batch of commemorative figures for them, and each of them would receive a thank-you letter...printed by Uncle Meng himself. Wouldn't that make you crazy with joy?

Maybe...

After he finished squeezing his labor force, he returned home and leaned in front of the balcony railing, took a selfie with the moonlight and the thank you letter, and sent it to Moments with the text: My youth is full of no regrets!

You can also win a lot of likes!

Old leek...

Unless Uncle Meng collects the IQ tax for five or ten years, one would generally not be able to do such a thing.

As expected!

The recruitment of holster volunteers was filled with people in just one day after opening registration channels for universities in Jiangchuan.

The students are so active!

This group of college students are basically primary school students and junior high school students when Meng Lang debuted. They may like Meng Lang more than his girlfriend.

Food and accommodation included?

unnecessary!

No reward?

It doesn't matter!

As long as I can participate in Uncle Meng's big movie, I'm not afraid no matter how hard or tiring it is, after all, this is my childhood wish!

There are a total of 100 places for leather holster volunteers. Creating simple leather holsters for these people has become the most troublesome thing for the prop center.

Although it is a simple version and the workmanship does not need to be so exquisite and durable, this thing is a leather case after all!

The height, weight and measurements of each volunteer are collected and a suitable Ultraman leather case is tailor-made. This workload itself is not small, and differentiation must be made to ensure that each Red Tribe Arcana/Blue Tribe Arcana does not collide with other Arcana Tribes...

The holster masters are going crazy!

Fortunately, Meng Lang felt sorry for them and said during the meeting that all the monster leather cases are in stock, otherwise they would have to resign collectively.

Use more caution with the leather cases of Mebius, Zero and Belial! If nothing else happens, these three leather cases will be used for many years...

Okay, Mr. Meng!

After arranging all the work at hand, he hadn't been busy for a while, and Meng Lang, who was nearly forty years old, actually felt a little tired.

But he couldn't rest yet.

In addition to the start of production of Super Galaxy Legend, the Neon Division has also started the production of G4 Project.

He is also paying attention to this project.

Kamen Rider AgitΩ: Project G4 originated from the well-received G3 and G3-X armors in the TV drama. It is also a commemorative theatrical version commemorating the 30th anniversary of Kamen Rider and the 50th anniversary of Toei.

If he remembered correctly, the original G4 was planned in Neon and seemed to have achieved a high box office of 1.25 billion yen!

Want to know if this box office is high?

Compare it to Mr. Tsuburaya next door. Ultra Brothers is about 840 million yen, and Super Galaxy Legend is about 630 million yen. Do you think the box office of the G4 plan is high?

This box office is twice that of Super Galaxy Legend!

It can be seen from this that Tsuburaya really stretches his hips in the field of movie theater versions, the ultimate hip stretch! No big movie Neon has ever exceeded 1 billion yen at the box office, which is outrageous!

Mr. Tsuburaya, please stop making movies! Let's go back to the TV series and not be angry with this...

Just kidding!

The original G4 project can achieve such excellent box office results, it is undeniable that it has TV blessing.

AgitΩ, as the Kamen Rider with the highest ratings in Heisei, is very popular in Neon's hometown. It is normal for the spin-off theatrical version to achieve this box office.

And what about the PD version?

The advantages are obviously even greater!

First of all, the first point is that in the PD version of Kamen Rider AgitΩ, the G3 armor is used by Kaori Ichijo, which is a huge advantage.

Secondly, the second point is that the ratings of the PD version of AgitΩ are not much worse than the original version, and it has achieved better results in China, Europe and the United States.

Based on the above two points, the PD version of the G4 plan should achieve a higher box office than the original version.

This is also Meng Lang's expectation.

The box office target he set for director Omori is 1.5 billion yen. If the target is met, there will be bonuses. If the target is not met, there will be criticism!

Omori said he was under a lot of pressure...

Wow, this is the era of Kamen Rider 555, everyone is attracted by Faiz, who still watches your outdated AgitΩ movie version?

Last year when he filmed this, he was still confident of achieving his goal, but this year it will be difficult!

Don't lose heart!

Meng Lang encouraged Omori over the phone: There is still great hope, at least not long after AgitΩ is finished, fans are still looking forward to G4...

This is true!

G3 has countless fans and has become the recognized second rider of AgitΩ. There must be many people looking forward to the launch of G4.

correct!

Meng Lang suddenly asked: Have you registered all the numbers G5, G6, and G7?

Registered!

Omori replied: I registered it last year, but...

Just what?

There was a little problem... A Chinese student took out our registration information and pointed at the G8 Knights... Omori hesitated.

Knight G8? G8 Cavaliers?

Ah this...

This name is indeed inappropriate!

Meng Lang suppressed his smile and pretended to be calm and said: Let me clarify, we are registering this number only to launch toys, not to make new games. The serial number G8 will not appear in toy products, please don't worry!

rest assured?

How can you be relieved!

Everyone wants to buy a G8 Knight for collection, how can you not sell it?

No, it must be sold!

No matter how expensive you are, buy it!

In fact, the Leonix system is quite interesting, but it’s a pity that Tsuburaya doesn’t want to play it much anymore…
