Feature Shows Extravaganza

“There are so many excellent PD works this year!”

Yang Mingjin, who was writing a review for a National Day movie, poured a cup of coffee and said with emotion: In the front there is Kamen Rider 555 and Gaia, in the back there is Alien Girl 2, Yalang and Birdman...

yes!

My colleague was also quite surprised and said: If you don't tell me, I really didn't realize that the quality of these works is quite high! Well... the dancing goddess stretches her hips a little, but it's okay!

really!

Several new works this year are of very high quality.

Not to mention Gaia and 555, they are completely subversive works. Alien Girl 2 has received rave reviews. Although Sakura's final ending is not very satisfactory, it can still be regarded as a masterpiece.

Yalang is a bit special...

As a late night special shooting drama, the subject matter is relatively sensitive. Not everyone can appreciate Keita Amamiya’s visual art, so the results of its introduction into the country are not very satisfactory.

But the reputation in the industry is quite strong!

Jetman is also quite good, as it is an unpopular Super Sentai series in China. The Birdman team has successfully retained the title of China Weekly Ratings Champion for one month in a row, which is a success beyond imagination.

You must know that before this, the Super Sentai series has never achieved such good ratings!

As for the dancing goddess...

Although everyone is making fun of this show for being too embarrassing, it has not even been able to beat Golden Armor 2.

But did the show fail?

not at all!

It was originally a girls special live-action drama, and it was not intended to be for both men and women.

Among the female audience, the reputation of Dancing Goddess is even better than that of the previous Balala Little Demon Fairy. From a professional's perspective, Yang Mingjin believes that this drama has been successful.

Quite a success!

So, here comes the problem!

This year’s PD company seems to be in a bit of a brave state! The quality of his works has broken through the sky and can be called the miracle year.

Why?

Yang Mingjin had in-depth contact with many PD employees and learned some inside information from them.

This year is a turning year for PD!

Their spiritual leader, Mr. Meng, left his front-line position. Regarding the qualitative leap in this year's new works, Yang Mingjin understood that this was because Meng Lang didn't want to leave any regrets for himself.

Just like Ferguson retired and left with the championship trophy... Meng Lang left office and left with a miracle.

This is a good thing!

It’s also an unfortunate thing!

The miracle year of 2025 has seen the emergence of so many excellent and outstanding works, which can be regarded as the peak year of PD.

Next year, can PD still maintain its form without Meng Lang's leadership?

I'm afraid it's difficult!

2025 may be the last peak period of PD Film and Television, and also the last glory of the PD empire.

As a half PD Panda, Yang Mingjin was in a complicated mood at the moment.

He can't understand Mengzi!

He was obviously still so young and could lead the PD to conquer cities and territories and extend the glory of the empire for a longer time, but he chose to retreat bravely...

Why exactly?

I think this year can be defined as the PD Miracle Year. I want to produce a program based on this theme...

sure!

The colleague nodded and said: PD Miracle Year? It is indeed very relevant! However, the PD Group's business is complex, so we can't just talk about PD Film and Television, right?

This is true!

PD Group has been selected into the Fortune 500 list for many consecutive years. This year, it ranked 87th with revenue of US$97.8 billion, entering the top 100 in the world for the first time, setting its best performance in history.

For a giant company with annual revenue of nearly 100 billion US dollars, the film and television business is only a part of it.

The proportion is even less than 10%!

Toy peripherals are the biggest segment, accounting for more than half of total revenue.

Mr. Tommy, who won the Pulitzer Prize and worked for the BBC International News Department, once said a famous saying.

In the past ten years, this small workshop from Jiangchuan, China, has accomplished the greatest feat in business history: its products cover everyone in the world!

This sentence is exaggerated!

After all, Tommy is an anti-China person. What he said was just to exaggerate the Chinese threat theory and ask the government to sanction PD.

But one thing is undeniable!

The market share occupied by PD toys has reached a terrifying level.

You can find PD products in any household in China, France, the United States, or even a small African country.

If this example is not vivid enough!

Let’s put it another way. Among the companies that are mainly engaged in the toy business, PD Group ranks first on the list, second on the list is Lebao Group from the United States, and third on the list is Lego from Denmark...

Do you understand now?

The top three giants in the industry are all Mengzi's people. How can you compete with him?

In the field of toy peripherals, PD is the unshakable only true god. He is alone in seeking defeat and cannot find a competitor worthy of fighting.

Then there is the paradise industry!

In the early years, the PD paradise industry, which was criticized for being prodigal, has now stood up.

There are four PD parks opened in Jiangchuan, Kyoto, Paris and Los Angeles, and two parks under construction in Pengcheng and Jingcheng.

Let’s not talk about the unbuilt paradise!

Mainly the four parks that have been built and opened, receive nearly 100 million tourists every year, and have annual revenue of US$12.187 billion.

Why is it so high?

Do you think PD Park makes money from tickets? Commercial development and souvenir sales around food and accommodation are the bulk of the business.

Looking at the world, this business is almost at the level of lonely failure.

Previously, a Hollywood giant wanted to imitate the PD Park model and built an IP theme park of the same size in Miami.

Everyone has seen the result!

Their IP is aimed at adults. Children don't buy it. Adults are busy being social animals, so how can they have time to go to the amusement park?

Tickets couldn't be sold, and no one bought the surrounding souvenirs.

Golden Arches and Kaifeng Cai that have settled in the park are considering withdrawing their branches... Well-known Wall Street analysts claimed that this project will lose at least US$2 billion.

Everyone was shocked!

Someone tried the waters and lost miserably.

It is estimated that no one will dare to take the risk again and challenge the status of PD Paradise before they are sure of success.

There is also PD Comics, which is also a hidden giant... a colleague added on behalf of Yang Mingjin.

right!

Yang Mingjin nodded.

PD Comics was established relatively late, and its first work was a peripheral comic about Ultraman Tiga - The Giant of Light 30 Million Years Ago.

This work is so-so!

I didn't make much money, mainly because I rode on the popularity of Diga and became famous in the industry and among readers.

The turning point was Yu-Gi-Oh!

It is no exaggeration to say that this work transformed PD Comics from a start-up company into an industry giant.

Although little-known, PD Comics’ annual revenue is here. It’s a real industry giant. It’s hard to ignore him.

PD technology is not bad either!

The colleague added: I used a miniaturized duel instrument to grab the first pot of gold, and then developed a world-renowned virtual idol. It is also a relatively low-key giant.

I know this……

Yang Mingjin is the second child. He has a lot of Luo Tianyi figurines at home, including the newly released Hatsune Miku. How could he not know about PD technology.

This company has been keeping a low profile!

He usually keeps quiet. Apart from holding a virtual concert tour and making some figurines, there is basically no news.

But it’s also quite profitable!

According to reliable sources, after Hatsune Miku became a hit, White Coke and Black Coke spent over 100 million dollars to compete for global spokesperson.

Of course, this hasn't been done yet.

Hatsune Miku is a new generation of virtual idol and is loved by young people around the world. The price of commercial endorsements is certainly not cheap.

Yang Mingjin really didn’t know how much money was negotiated!

He is just a small self-media internet celebrity, how can he get such detailed secrets? But if you make a blind guess, over 100 million US dollars is not a big problem!

After all, he is a global spokesperson!

Moreover, once the contract is signed, it lasts for five, six, seven or eight years, so virtual idols do not have to worry about problems such as personality collapse and scandalous scandals.

How about the PD game?

It's hard to say...

Yang Mingjin hesitated and said: Game companies basically do not publish financial reports, and PD does not publicize how much money they make from the game business. It is difficult to estimate.

But that’s for sure!

PD Games is also one of the industry giants!

After all, it has so many popular games, and players all over the world have them, and it generates a lot of revenue in a year.

Yang Mingjin has also played popular games such as PD League and PD Heroes Battle Royale. Battle Royale has become a bit cool recently, so it’s hard to estimate the total number of players.

But the PD Alliance has more than 100 million players worldwide, which is correct.

It's really scary...

At this point, Yang Mingjin and his colleagues were shocked by the achievements of PD.

At the same time, there are worries.

Whether it is toys, comics, amusement parks or the game industry, they all rely on the IP manufacturing capabilities of PD Films.

Film and television are the foundation!

If something goes wrong with PD Film and Television, this series of industry giants will be shaken. It is not an exaggeration to say empire collapse.

Yang Mingjin has already thought about the copywriting.

He will summarize the works launched by PD Film and Television this year under the name PD Miracle Year. Then the topic of Meng Lang stepping down was brought up, which further extended to other industries of the PD Group.

Just use one sentence at the end!

As a PD fan, I am happy this year to see so many excellent works, but it is also unfortunate because this is most likely... the afterglow of the empire!

Okay everyone, I'm Yang Mingjin, see you next time!

Good guy!

A manuscript with PD collapse theory as its core was just released.

With the keen sense of a self-media person, Yang Mingjin realized that after the new episode is broadcast, it is very likely to become popular on the Internet.

no way!

Over the years, everyone has been touting the achievements of PD. As a senior PD licker, he suddenly sang the opposite view and looked down upon the decline of PD, throwing out the PD collapse theory.

Can everyone not be shocked?

but……

After Yang Mingjin finished writing the first draft, he stared at the manuscript for a long time and felt that he had overlooked some key points.

what is it?

He asked his colleagues to take a look for him, and he discovered the problem at a glance.

That's not right! Where is the PD animation?

In addition to PD Film and Television, PD Group also has an IP factory, which is PD Animation!

Damn it, I forgot!

Yang Mingjin, who was awakened by his colleague's words, quickly asked: Is PD Animation making any big moves this year?

It seems not!

The colleague scratched his head and thought: The new works released this year are only the Yu-Gi-Oh GX alternate dimension chapter and the third season of Transformers: Proof of the Leader. I haven't heard that there are other...

etc!

Halfway through his words, his colleague suddenly slapped his forehead and said, They mentioned on their official Weibo before that this year they will launch an original non-sequel animation based on magical girls.

Magical girl?

When Yang Mingjin heard this, he subconsciously frowned and said, What's so strange about this? There are seven or eight animations on this theme in less than a year.

By the way, what's the name of the work?

It seems to be called Pretty Cure, right? I haven't paid much attention to it, why don't you check it online?

Makes sense!

It is better to ask for help from others than to ask for yourself. Instead of asking this guy, it is better to ask the almighty Du Niang.

Type the words PreCure into the search box and click Confirm. The first result of the search is Big Bird Video's exclusive broadcast advertising message.

Already aired?

Yang Mingjin was greatly surprised and clicked on the page. Then I discovered that this was just a preview PV, and the feature film won’t be released until next week.

Come and take a look!

The promotional PV is not long, only two minutes.

The opening was a lightning strike!

You and I are just being Pretty Cure together, we are not friends!

have a finger in the pie!

This kind of thing, this kind of thing...how is it possible!

Mei Mo! Mei Mo!

Yang Mingjin: ???

He clicked pause and looked at the title again. After confirming that he was right, he said with a face full of astonishment: What the hell? Is this Lily? It must be!

Is playing...playing so big?

Suddenly I felt a little excited!

To be honest, he, Yang Mingjin, likes this kind of animations where little girls make love to each other the most.

Good brother, please be more careful!

I love watching it!

Yang Mingjin, who was aroused by the bond between the two heroines, straightened his posture and looked at it seriously.

Because it is a promotional PV, the theatrical content is limited. After briefly outlining the characters of the two heroines, the scene is dominated by combat cuts.

Yang Mingjin's eyes widened!

This...this is...what?

After the gorgeous transformation, it turned out to be a close-quarters fight with fists and fists? Did you go to the wrong set?

Is this a magical girl?

Even if the King of Heaven comes today, Yang Mingjin will not admit that this is a magical girl. How could a magical girl be so... so unrestrained?

Next door's Let Me Sweet You and Listen to the Sound of Purification are the orthodox magical girls.

How can there be any disagreement about a magical girl who fights hand to hand?

This is not nonsense!

But one thing to say, seeing a kawaii girl in magical clothing using unconventional fist and kick attacks is really not an ordinary sour feeling.

So enjoyable!

It seems that this is the fighting style that a magical girl should have. Those colleagues who use music and dance to influence the enemy are all weak, okay?

What kind of influence?

US-Mexico/Xicheng raised his fist: Do you want a set of [Physical Induction]?

cool!

The hearty and hearty fighting, coupled with the cute costume after transformation, creates a strange contrast of cuteness.

Yang Mingjin loves them so much!

if……

If possible, please let him become a Pretty Cure too! please!

Let me ask a rather silly question, is PILIQ Baby derived from Pretty Cure or Precure?
