Feature Shows Extravaganza

Legend of the Galaxy has no connotation and is an out-and-out popcorn science fiction hero movie.

There is no doubt about this!

But everyone must admit that movie fans like to watch this kind of movie. The best-selling and most popular movies on the market are often superheroes with lousy special effects...

Film critics were helpless.

For them, evaluating this kind of movie is like asking a nutritionist to evaluate the nutritional value of a can of Coke. It is meaningless.

At its core, Legends of the Galaxy is no different from American superheroes. It's nothing more than Iron Man, Spider-Man, etc., turned into Ultraman.

There’s really nothing to say!

After watching the movie, everyone just praises the special effects are good and Zero is so handsome and that's it.

What else can be said? !

Using a professional artistic vision to judge a fan movie is completely a chicken-and-duck exercise, with no suspense.

But movie fans like it, and that’s reason enough!

Meng Lang said he was very calm about the fact that the rating of Super Galaxy Legend on the Germination website was far inferior to that of the previously released Kamen Rider Akita: Project G4.

Calm down, this is normal...

His original intention in making this movie was to please children aged 6-16. As long as he can achieve his goal, who cares about the ratings of netizens?

Anyway, the box office is stable!

Heroes of the Universe: Legend of the Galaxy has been released for three days, with a total global box office of US$318 million. On average, 106 million U.S. dollars are collected every day, equivalent to nearly 700 million yuan.

Among them, 50% of the box office comes from China, 35% from Neon, and Europe and the United States contribute about 15% of the box office.

The distribution is very reasonable!

Chinese children are the most obsessed with Ultraman in the world, so it is not surprising that it has won the box office.

As for Neon, although the national level of Ultraman is not as high as that of Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. But after years of management by PD, it still has an amazing influence.

It's normal for Europeans and Americans to pull their hips.

Although they also like Ultraman, they really don't like this kind of movie theater version.

Don’t count on them anyway!

Relying on the two major ticket sales of Huaxia and Neon alone, Legend of the Super Galaxy has laid an unshakable foundation. The global box office is expected to exceed US$1 billion.

This is an amazing result!

How many years has it been since PD released a movie with a global box office exceeding 1 billion US dollars? If Meng Lang remembers correctly, the last time was the sequel to The Company of Heroes?

It deserves a celebration party.

Meng Lang specially asked someone to carve a 1:1 Cerro out of ice, and engraved the number [1,000,000,000] on the base. He turned around and smashed it with champagne...

Ouch, I have a picture in my mind!

Speaking of Cero.

This guy is worthy of being one of the New Generation Leaders, and his popularity is indeed a bit exaggerated!

It's unimaginable that the children love this rabbit so much that they even set up an exclusive support group for him.

How many days has he appeared?

All we can say is that Sai Aotian is cheating!

According to the information Meng Lang has, it can be determined that Zero will be another popular new product under PD after Diga.

Dyna and Gaia are not very good.

As for Nexus...

Faced with Sai Rabbit's terrifying popularity, Xiao Nai had no choice but to give in. After all, children have no resistance to Ultraman with a personality like X Aotian.

Maybe adults would be better?

After all, I am an adult, and I have been exposed to the XX Aotian characters in online books and Japanese comics, so I have no feelings for Zero's character.

Children are different!

Therefore, it is normal to be popular.

In fact, there was another point that Meng Lang didn't know what to say.

Super Galaxy Legend is generally considered to be the beginning of the Ultra New Generation, and the Ultra New Generation is also the most stigmatized period.

LED Austria, toys Austria...

At this time, Ultraman, just looking at the comments made by netizens, might have thought that he was all a piece of shit. In fact, however, they are generally quite popular.

At the end of the Heisei period, the ratings were of little value.

What everyone is fighting for is popularity and traffic, as well as the value of peripheral derivatives created by these popular traffic.

from this angle.

The new generation of Ultra is undoubtedly very successful. At the very least, it maintained the dignity of the Three Major Tokusatsu IPs and did not disappoint Consortium B.

But old fans don’t understand...

How to put it, this seems to be something that every child-oriented tokusatsu IP must experience.

The old fans have grown up!

As they grow older, their taste aesthetics are also quietly changing. However, if the positioning of the work remains unchanged, it will inevitably arouse their dissatisfaction.

This is an irreconcilable contradiction!

To give a simple example...

Suppose Tsuburaya is a kindergarten teacher, responsible for teaching children to sing children's songs and learn ABC.

After sending away the first batch of children, Tsuburaya had to welcome the second batch of children and stayed in the kindergarten.

As for children in the first period of kindergarten, after they enter elementary school and junior high school, they will feel that the things taught in kindergarten are too childish, and they want Teacher Tsuburaya to teach some profound content.

Can Tsuburaya teach?

Although the examples are not appropriate, the principles are the same. Don't ignore the new friends in order to take care of the old friends.

Is there a way to get the best of both worlds?

Of course there is!

For example, Obuzeta took care of the feelings of both old friends and new friends.

But there are few such examples.

Not every work can achieve perfect balance. If you are not careful, it will cause dissatisfaction among new and old fans.

Meng Lang couldn't think of a solution either.

Take one step at a time!

Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe the little black pig can solve the problems that he can't solve?

Nexus and Zero were launched almost front to back.

These two new players and their works have made Ultraman, a household name IP, once again popular all over the country, overshadowing other IPs.

But there are still IPs that have suddenly emerged!

For example, Kamen Rider 555 and SpongeBob SquarePants.

Spongebob was the most surprised.

After it was first aired on Bird TV and replayed on CCTV Children and Shonan Children, this shit-yellow sponge instantly detonated the Chinese market, and the popularity was unbelievable.

And 555 seems much more reasonable!

Since Kamen Rider 555 was introduced to China, the ratings have remained high and it has become very popular.

It's just limited by the weekly broadcast feature of one episode per week. The explosive power is not enough but the sustaining power is amazing.

With the arrival of the new year, Kamen Rider 555 has officially launched its final chapter.

Explosive Faiz appears!

The previous acceleration form, the Start Up and Time Out have already made the audience feel excited.

And the burst form...

One word to describe it: Cool!

The characteristics of the accelerated form are that the breastplate changes into shoulder armor, the black warrior transforms into a non-chief, and he becomes a real man in ten seconds.

As the final form of Faiz, the burst form changes the black part of the leather sheath to red, increases the coverage area of ​​the silver breastplate, and appears with a golden texture.

There is no setting like 10 Seconds of Real Man, the burst form is an all-round enhancement.

Awakening!

The newly upgraded burst form was unanimously loved by the audience when it debuted. The subsequent performance did not live up to everyone's expectations.

The final form is fierce!

This bursting form has also been dubbed the never deflated form or the ratio mode by netizens who are good at it.

To paraphrase a saying on the lips of netizens: It used to be photon blood vessels, but in the exploded form, photon energy directly covers the whole body!

Good guy!

Fortunately, Den-O wasn't born at this time, otherwise he would have definitely asked, Senior, can't you afford it, when he saw the scene of the Faiz sword exploding and slashing the train?

Of course, this is a joke.

The explosion form is indeed quite powerful, and the scene of using the ultimate move to directly cut a train is indeed one of the 555 scenes.

Persecuting the King of Den is not that bad...

This time difference is too far to be considered persecution. And this scene is just to highlight the combat effectiveness of the explosion form.

The effect is not bad!

The appearance of the explosive form means that there are not many TV series left. At this time, Bai Cang and Min Gui were already considering taking over the series.

The tentative title is Kamen Rider Sword!

Why is it called sword?

Of course it’s because the protagonist’s last name is “Kensaki”…well, actually it’s because the main rider is “Sword Armor”!

Not right either!

Meng Lang asked Allergic Ghost and Bai Cang and found out that the word sword originated from the spade suit in playing cards and had nothing to do with the protagonist's name.

The name comes from poker, so the story is naturally inseparable from poker!

Min Gui told him that they did not want to give up the market created by 555 and Longqi. Therefore, the new knight will retain the mechanical style of 555 and the card system of Dragon Knight.

And, back to insects!

This is a move to please old fans. You must know that the origin of Kamen Rider is an insect. Returning to insects will definitely win their favor.

The villain is interesting!

In Min Gui's imagination, the villains and weirdos are a group of undead creatures who are immortal and can only be sealed.

And this group of undead creatures are divided into different suits of spades, diamonds, hearts and clubs. There are 13 types of each suit from A to K, and there are also special clowns...

etc!

Sound familiar?

That's right! This is poker!

Tell me honestly, has the Neon Branch turned into a casino?

yes!

Bai Cang affirmed: Our three knights often get together to play cards. Sometimes President Ono will also play a hand, but he is very unlucky...

Damn, you actually admitted it?

Meng Lang's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, and he made a decision in his heart.

He wants to fight corruption and promote integrity!

What kind of behavior would it be for high-ranking executives to hang out together playing cards and drinking all day without doing their job? This kind of behavior must be cracked down on!

After casually deducting one month's salary from Bai Cang, Meng Lang hung up the phone and printed out a copy of the project he had just received.

As expected, it turned out to be a sword!

Quite interesting...

The entire planning setting is quite a hodgepodge. 555. The shadows of Ryuki, old works of Showa and Yajituo are vaguely visible.

This can also be considered as drawing on the strengths of others!

Although Min Gui has many shortcomings, his talent is still worthy of recognition.

Poker is a stroke of genius...

You know, as a kind of entertainment consumable, playing cards have a very broad market prospect.

Among other things, take Yaoji Poker, a relatively well-known domestic poker manufacturer and listed company, as an example. It sells hundreds of millions of poker decks a year, with annual revenue of nearly one billion.

This is just a company!

Looking around the world, there are countless manufacturers that produce and sell playing cards. The global market is estimated to be around 10 billion US dollars.

This cake is not small!

Meng Lang didn't expect how much of the pie he would get from this one work. Even if you can only drink soup, it's not much worse than selling toys, right?

Of course, one thing is important.

The traditional playing card industry, including playing cards, has experienced a serious market shrinkage with the gradual rise of the electronic entertainment industry.

simply put!

In this day and age, young people are playing around with their mobile phones and computers. Apart from class reunions during holidays, who would buy playing cards to play with?

A typical sunset industry!

Although playing cards are difficult to eliminate, as long as humans still have entertainment needs, this thing can be sold.

But the market will definitely continue to shrink.

Traditional playing cards are not easy to sell, but what about “non-traditional” playing cards?

Meng Lang wanted to know, if he made Kamen Rider playing cards, would those fans buy a pair to collect and play?

Maybe!

Ma Teng said uncertainly: Traditional playing cards only have so many ways to play. Kamen Rider playing cards not only improve playability, but also have a certain collection value. Someone will definitely buy them.

This statement makes sense!

Kamen Rider Poker also has the same gameplay as ordinary playing cards! Kamen Rider Poker has exclusive gameplay, but ordinary cards don't.

This creates differentiation!

If you learn from Yu-Gi-Oh and come up with something gold and silver, gold and silver... then you won't have to worry about sales.

However, there is a problem!

The printing and production of playing cards, unlike toy cards, requires consideration of many factors, the most important of which is durability.

There seems to be little experience with PD toys.

Previously printed cards, including Yu-Gi-Oh! In fact, I didn't think much about durability, and it was easily damaged.

After all, the gameplay is different!

Can you use cards like Yu-Gi-Oh to make flower cuts, flying cards and violent shuffles? That doesn’t work!

I usually want to put on a card sleeve, for fear of damaging the precious cards, so how can I be willing to waste it like this?

Considering the usage scenario...

Poker cards should be considered qualified if they can be used under heavy load for 3-5 hours without any problems.

Otherwise, after just two rounds of playing, the cards are bad, will everyone still buy this thing?

Of course, this is the regular version.

Even if PD wants to make Kamen Rider poker, it will launch a collector's edition based on the regular version.

The regular version is popular and relies on small profits but quick turnover to seize the market. Collectible editions are priced at a high price, mainly to capture profits.

For now, there's nothing to worry about with the Collector's Edition.

PD is quite knowledgeable in this regard. At least it can be made at a price that is worthy of the price, so that it won’t be criticized as a scam.

But the quality of the regular version is difficult to control.

After all, PD has never done poker...

The process is easy to solve. As long as you are willing to stack materials, the quality will definitely be no problem, but the cost will also increase.

How to control costs and ensure quality and profit margins as cheaply as possible?

PD toys are a headache.

Fortunately, we have plenty of time. As long as we get it done before Kamen Rider Sword is aired, it's too late.

The so-called Christmas is just another way of saying Valentine's Day and Shopping Festival. Looking at the apples posted in the circle of friends, I suddenly thought that one day, what if even the Tomb-Sweeping Day has gone bad?
