Feature Shows Extravaganza

Lao Wang was unhappy and frantically put pressure on Li Xinglong. The only way Li Xinglong could vent his pressure was by swearing like a shrew.

However, this is of no use.

The death of Arctic Snow deeply hurt a large number of fans who loved the Golden Armor Warrior. The behavior of ignoring the facts and slandering PreCure with just one mouth has disgusted many passerby fans.

The situation gets worse!

Perhaps it was because too much money was spent in the early stage that the budget could not support it. The quality of the last dozen or so episodes of Warrior in Armor 2 dropped off a cliff, and the production shrinkage was visible to the naked eye.

It was eventually rated as bad!

In the discussion area of ​​the well-known film and television chat website [Sprout], the summary of the number one hot comment is very accurate.

It has a great start, is stable in the middle, and ends badly! This drop in reputation and ratings is more exciting than the stock market!

It's not that it's not that...

When the audience criticized Li Xinglong for complaining about the shrinking quality of the last dozen or so episodes, Meng Lang explained to him in private: It's not that exaggerated! As far as I know, he probably wanted to save some money for publicity. Fa, it turned out to be a mess!

He has done this kind of thing before.

Sometimes when filming a movie, I burn a lot of budget at once when filming is so exciting, only to find out in the later stages that the budget for promotion and distribution is not enough. What should I do?

Either confess to the investors that he and the producer failed in their duties and failed to control the budget, and that they need to pursue a publicity fee...

Or learn to calculate carefully, allocate the remaining money well, cut off the bulk of the money to Xuanfa, and cover the gap silently without telling investors.

The former will most likely not work!

If you confess to an investor and make him unhappy, can you still ask him to continue investing in your next drama?

That’s the truth!

Li Xinglong didn't want Lao Wang to feel that he was incompetent, so he consulted with the producer and chose the latter solution, which is very common in the film and television industry.

But he just messed up!

He did not allocate funds properly, resulting in a serious lack of funds in the later stage, and the quality dropped even to the audience. This was his fault.

Fortunately, there are only a dozen or so episodes of crotch pulling.

It would be a really bad thing if he started pulling his hips from episode 20 or even 30.

The crotch stretching started in episode 40, it’s okay! The audience has watched so many episodes and has become emotionally involved in it. No matter how bad the show is in the future, they will continue to watch it.

So, the results are pretty good.

At least you made money!

According to estimates by market analysts, Li Xinglong Studio should be able to earn a profit of 300-600 million in the next five years with this Warrior 2.

This is a net profit!

Production costs and publicity and distribution costs were already paid back when the promotional video became popular and Hunan Satellite TV purchased the first-round broadcast rights and the second-round rebroadcast rights at a high price.

Lao Wang scolded him, and for the sake of making money for the company, he should keep Li Xinglong.

But on the side of Xiangnan Satellite TV...

The new dramas bought at a high price did not perform so well. It is estimated that next time, Li Xinglong's new drama will not be able to sell at a high price.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Meng Lang.

Compared with Married 2, PreCure, which has become a huge hit recently and has become a ratings hit, is more important.

It is indeed the first generation Q baby!

Even the pickiest fan will find it hard not to like this work. After all, the charm of one brother and one sister-in-law is enough to transcend the boundaries of gender, age, culture and nationality.

Sports idiot, genius academic master!

These two characters, with the black and white color scheme, close combat with fists and fists, and lily-oriented emotional lines, are simply... fans harvesters!

How popular is Guangmei?

This has to introduce the concept of Three Toei Royal Family!

The so-called Toei Gosanjia refers to Toei’s three major transformation hero IPs: Kamen Rider, Super Sentai... and Pretty Cure!

The first two IPs are known as the second of the Three Neon Special Photography Series. There is no need to popularize science about how successful they are. And Guangmei can be listed as one of the Three Toei Royal Companies along with the first two. Guess how terrifying its influence is?

A senior executive once said: Ah~ the pure and beautiful Pretty Cure is the girl version of Kamen Rider!

so……

Boys racking their brains to become PreCure is actually not a very abnormal thing, right?

Female version of Kamen Rider was originally a compliment, but later people discovered, what does Kamen Rider mean?

Drive away!

Let me be a Pretty Cure!

All kidding aside, Mitsubi, this long-lasting classic IP, is indeed worthy of being the treasure of Toei Town's house, and its commercial value is not inferior to Kamen Rider or Super Sentai.

Even slightly better!

After all, children are much more receptive to animations than live-action dramas.

Moreover, Guangmei’s audience is not all children. Although there has not been a survey, there should be quite a few teenage otakus and otakus.

PreCure was first born in 2004 and set off the second wave of Magical Girl craze. As of the early days of Taiga or Zero-One's Reiwa period, it has launched more than ten TV animations and more than ten theatrical movies. .

Every one is very popular!

However, the influence of this IP overseas is indeed not as good as that of the three major special effects films. After all, there are too many giants in neon animation, and it is difficult for Guangmei to break through.

In addition, Toei's overseas policy is more conservative and Buddhist than Tsubaraya, so that's it.

In fact, it can be pushed up!

Meng Lang was very confident about this.

No matter how long time passes and what changes people have experienced, Magical Girls will always be a passport to the world.

So he doesn't plan to learn Toei's conservative strategy, but takes the initiative to attack!

Invest a lot of resources to promote and promote Pretty Cure on a global scale. Try to maximize the influence of this IP.

The board approved the resolution.

Far away in Bolton, Lao Meng, the honorary PD leader who is addicted to the real-life version of Football Manager all day long, also enthusiastically designed a new jersey, saying that he would contribute to the Globalization of Guangmei.

Mengzi really wanted to stop him...

In recent years, Bolton Wanderers Club has taken over almost all the laughter in “international football”.

The jersey changes every season!

Every time I change the IP, it is different and very creative. The Football Association and fan clubs have protested against this move many times.

The fans are complaining!

Can your broken team retain some of its football heritage?

If you don’t want to wear a good blue and green striped jersey, why do you have to make it so fancy? The design is also very nice, making people want to buy it after just one look!

Can't afford it!

Your jerseys change styles faster than the fashion week next door. Fans are not billionaires per capita, so how can they buy one?

It’s so sad to be your fan...

The sponsor, Nike, is laughing like crazy. If you sponsor other teams, the sales of jerseys are really useless. Don’t expect to sell many in a season.

But Bolton is different!

This is a bad team, playing in the Champions League and playing in the upper half of the league, and its ability to design jerseys is proud of the entire football world!

Other clubs have to ask us to design their jerseys, but Bolton are an exception. We only need to provide the fabric!

The president of Nike Europe said with a smile: Maybe I should make a suggestion to the headquarters and let the design department go to Bolton for an internship...

You all take a good look!

A football club designs new jerseys and launches new models faster than your professional counterparts. Are you ashamed?

Whenever the new season starts, the topic that all football media are most concerned about is not who scored in the opening game, nor is it analyzing new tactics, but the new season is here, what kind of jersey has Bolton changed?

Really...

Even though Meng Lang was oblivious to what was going on outside the window and only wanted to film fairy dramas, he also knew every move of Lao Meng in the country of Yu.

To be honest, it's quite embarrassing.

The team has not won the European championship, but its reputation is better than that of the European championship.

But there was nothing he could do.

After all, he is his biological father, and because he is old, it is rare that one thing can make him happy, so let him be.

As for the fines issued by the Football Association and UEFA, it doesn't matter...

Pay for happiness without losing money!

Moreover, Lao Meng is right, the attention paid to the Premier League and Champions League is indeed extraordinary.

The advertising effect is outstanding!

To give a simple example, after characters such as SpongeBob SquarePants appeared on the Bolton Wanderers jersey, searches for SpongeBob SquarePants surged, and half of Europe became aware of this yellow sponge.

Therefore, he did not stop Lao Meng.

Anyway, it doesn’t cost any money, just give it a try. Although the fan base may not watch PreCure, it does not mean that there are no children at home.

There is always hope!

Coincidentally, Warrior 2, which was just sunk by Guangmei, also recently announced its strategy of imminent global promotion.

However, it hit a rock just as it set sail.

Li Xinglong set his first overseas stop in Neon, but in Neon's major TV networks, the top executives were all Meng Tsai's good brothers, and that was just a friendship from going to a custom shop together!

Can they look good?

Li Xinglong, who was inexplicably deflated, could only understand that Neon is seriously xenophobic and transferred to North America.

There is also a good brother Mengzi in North America!

Although we didn't go to nightclubs together, we did take photos with Meng Zai and had dinner together. After a few hints from PD North America President Kent, you still don’t know what to do?

Of course, there are too many 25-year-olds in North America! People talk a lot, so the news will inevitably leak out, and Li Xinglong found out.

Good guy!

As soon as the plane landed in China, he couldn't help but post a 10,000-word essay in which he denounced a certain black pig's evil deeds of suppressing his compatriots.

As a result, there was no reaction.

Netizens said Oh and then commented: Did you only know about this now? Hasn't he always been like this?

shameless……

Facing Li Xinglong's abuse, Meng Lang smiled and pretended that he couldn't see or hear.

What are you scolding?

If you have the ability, you can also go overseas to develop contacts, meet so many good brothers, and come together to suppress Mengzi!

Meng Zai, who was too lazy to meet him, was invited by Yan Tao and Ma Teng to step into the screening room and watch the final version of Nexus.

To be honest, he was looking forward to it.

This sense of anticipation is stronger than any previous work.

There are two main reasons!

The first is whether the failure of the original version of Nexus, which cast a shadow on Project N, can be eliminated in the PD version.

The second is that apart from making suggestions, he did not directly participate in the production of this drama, and was not even a named producer.

It can be said that this is an Ultraman TV work that is completely free of his influence and interference.

What will it look like?

With great anticipation, Meng Lang sat on the soft sofa and pressed the switch of the remote control.

Five seconds!

Ten seconds!

Two minutes have passed...

Facing the dark screen, Ma Teng, Yan Tao and Meng Lang, who were eating melon seeds and waiting for a reaction, looked at each other in confusion.

What's going on?

Ma Teng stepped forward, patted the machine hard and said, Isn't it broken?

possible!

This internal screening room was renovated seven years ago, and the equipment was last updated four or five years ago. It is normal for malfunctions to occur.

Meng Lang quickly called for repairs.

The technician came in, took a look, and after working on it for a long time, he said: The equipment is aging, resulting in poor contact.

Get a new one tomorrow!

Meng Lang said anxiously: I want to know, can it still be used now?

It works! I just need to clean up the dust!

That's good, that's good!

After waiting patiently for a while, the technician finally got the device ready. Even though he was here, Meng Lang didn't chase him away. They stayed together to eat melon seeds and watch TV.

Of course, this was what Ma Teng suggested.

Keep him, if something goes wrong again after leaving it alone, it will be solved easily!

That makes sense!

Meng Lang accepted Ma Teng's proposal, and the number of people watching Nexus became four.

No opening, no ending!

The opening scene is the main film...

The bustling urban scene of Jiangchuan is presented to the audience through a set of wide-angle lenses.

Busy street stalls, busy intersections, salesmen with accents, and the honking of various cars... together form a picture full of the atmosphere of urban life.

Through the narration of the protagonist Gu Yihui, the audience can know that there seems to be some unknown fear, hidden under the tranquility and peace, ready to move...

the other side.

At a gas station late at night, the gas tank looked like a bottomless pit, which caught the attention of the gas station guy. When he was lying on the ground, wondering if the car was leaking oil, the liquid alien beast Pedron appeared.

As the first alien beast to appear in the show, Pedron is very small, only as big as a car.

But it's scary!

Can you imagine the scene where two big men hugged each other and were frightened by a terrifying monster so much that they even dropped their melon seeds on the ground?

That's right!

They are talking about Meng Lang and Ma Teng.

In order to enhance the sense of immersion, the screening room has no lights, coupled with a high-quality top-notch screen and carefully modeled special effects.

The effect is no worse than a horror movie!

Of course, fear is instinctive. Yan Tao didn't laugh at Mr. Meng or Vice President Ma. He was also shocked when he saw this leather case for the first time.

That is really disgusting and terrifying!

The shape of Pedron is completely an enlarged and extremely ugly mollusc, resembling a slug!

Do molluscs understand?

In terms of nausea and horror, this thing is much stronger than ordinary monsters.

When such a big slug monster appears on the screen, normal people will be subconsciously afraid. In a sense, this design returns to the essence of monster.

Yan Tao still remembers that Mr. Meng told him:

What is a monster? It is a thing used to scare the audience! But our current monster design is a bit contrary to the original intention, or the audience has already accepted this aesthetic!

If you put leather cases like Golzan and Gomora on the stage, not to mention scaring children, even huskies would want to hug them after seeing them. Who can you scare?

He thinks this makes sense!

The original intention of the monster design is to scare the audience. If you can't even do this, then you will completely lose the role that a monster should have.

Therefore, he has emphasized many times that alien beasts should not be developed in a cute direction, but should be designed in a fantastic and thrilling direction, and must make the audience feel fear.

Pedron did it!

The size is indeed a bit small, but it is disgusting and scary enough!

Pedron, who attacked the gas station, was quickly discovered and attacked by the night raid team, and got into a tunnel.

The Night Raid team launched a second round of attacks, but failed to eliminate it and instead let it escape.

On the other side, Gu Yihui received a physical examination document. When he arrived at the designated place, he was kidnapped by a group of mysterious people and his whole body was examined.

You've been transferred!

Gu Yihui, who was confused, took the Night Raid Team entry form and fell into hesitation.

The escaped Pedron attacked a tourist bus. Gu Yihui, who went to report to the Night Raid Team, discovered an abnormality and was then entangled by Pedron's feet.

As he struggled desperately, he once again thought of the hand that reached out to him when he was drowning as a child.

Don't give up!

Then, a miracle happened!

The ferocious Pedron was beaten to death by a clenched fist. Gu Yihui looked up and saw a silver-gray giant in front of him.

This is the juvenile form...

As the director, Yan Tao explained to everyone: Just like human beings grow, Ultraman Nexus will also grow and take on different forms.

Oh! technician Xiao Li asked, What will the final form look like?

That's another Ultraman!

Another Ultraman?

Xiao Li was quite curious: What does this mean? Isn't the final form of Nexus still Nexus?

no……

Yan Tao didn't want to spoil the story and let the young man know the truth in advance, and said with a smile: You will understand after watching the end!

Tch! Pretending to be mysterious!

He expressed disdain, but those tell me quickly eyes betrayed him.

Okay, let me tell you!

Meng Lang patted the technician on the shoulder and said earnestly: Do you want to know the answer to the question? Do you want to know about Nexus? Do you want to obtain the inheritance of light?

Go!

The secrets are all hidden in the book. Buy a copy of Noah: Nostalgia and you can get it all! The more you buy, the stronger you will be!

Seeing the young man's expression twitching, Meng Lang coughed and said, It's not expensive, only 29 yuan!

Ah this...

Ma Teng and Yan Tao, who had speechless expressions on their faces, really impressed Mr. Meng's business acumen.

Can this also be used as an opportunity to promote?

It’s not easy being a young man. I work for you and you exploit me. I ask you a question and want to know the answer. I have to spend money to buy a book from you. Are you still a human being?

Buy more copies!

Ma Teng said with a serious face: Noah's Nostalgia is definitely a rare good book. Your relatives, friends, classmates and fellow villagers should all read it...

Yes!

Yan Tao also echoed: This book will change your life! I am an honest person and will not lie to you!

Is it really that beautiful?

Technician Xiao Li nodded blankly.

The boss recommended it so, so it must be a good book. He would buy it after get off work and read it.
