Feature Shows Extravaganza

The appearance of Legend of Shadow Puppet disrupted Meng Lang's arrangements.

In order to avoid the tragedy of cannibalism, after discussion, Li Wanbo decided to move Seven X to next year and film the first and second seasons of Big Monster Fight first.

This can be considered as maximizing benefits!

There is no doubt that The Legend of Shadow Puppet, which tells the inheritance of the intangible cultural heritage shadow puppetry, will definitely be the biggest winner in this year's awards season.

How to lose when the flying dragon rides on the face?

Of course, it’s still early in awards season!

Although the goal of Legend of Shadow Puppet is to win awards and gain honors for the company. But as a TV series, ratings are still very important!

At the very least, it can’t be embarrassing, right?

Although this subject matter is not popular, the story is told very well. I think the ratings should not be low...

This is Meng Lang's innermost thoughts!

He feels that The Legend of Shadow Puppet surpasses all other mother-in-law and daughter-in-law love dramas on the market in terms of quality, and it also has a positive energy core of promoting traditional culture, so the ratings will definitely not be bad.

The premise is to find the right platform!

Let Big Bird TV broadcast this?

Inappropriate!

Big Bird TV's audience is mostly teenagers who are in middle school. It is difficult for this group of people to become interested in the legend of shadow puppets.

So, how about changing to another one?

CCTV set!

Meng Lang and Director Tao unanimously gave the answer.

That's right!

A drama like this with a positive energy core, excellent quality and exciting plot should be sent to CCTV for its first broadcast.

Other platforms do not have this foundation.

However, the threshold for CCTV's set of TV series is slightly higher and it is not feasible. CCTV's eight TV series channels can also be considered.

Thunder Studio has no objection to this arrangement.

After receiving the phone call from Mr. Meng, they immediately sent a representative to the Underpants Building in Beijing to inquire about CCTV's schedule.

The result is speechless...

When people heard it was a PD company, they immediately contacted the children's channel.

The representative sent by Lei Lei was chatting happily with someone and was about to kill chickens and prepare wine to become brothers with different surnames. He was shocked to learn that this was a children's channel?

They have the wrong person!

Boy, that scene was breathtakingly awkward at one point.

After a lot of effort, I finally contacted Director Liu of the comprehensive channel, but the other party said that the schedule was full. If you queue up now, it will not be broadcast until June next year.

Desperate!

Fortunately, Huangtian paid off his hard work.

Just when everyone thought that the road to CCTV's premiere was blocked, Director Liu showed the sample to the leader.

The leader also liked to watch shadow puppet shows when he was a child, which gave him a certain emotional blessing.

He was so moved that he arranged to jump in line!

So, after going through some twists and turns, The Legend of Shadow Puppet is finally scheduled to premiere around the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Meng Lang was relieved.

With the influence of CCTV’s set of prime time slots, there is no need to worry about the ratings. After all, this channel has a very solid ratings base.

Next, it’s time to think about something else.

The special theme of Legend of Shadow Puppet is destined to be unable to make money through peripheral derivatives.

But the captain can!

The money-attracting level of the Armor Warrior series is no less than that of tops and yo-yos. The Captor of Nava should be the peak profit of the armor series.

To be precise, Nava is more powerful!

Due to the sharp decline in word-of-mouth and poor quality issues, the toy revenue of Capture did not reach the expected height.

This is not a design problem!

If the drama is hot, the toy will be hot!

The drama is cool and the toys are not easy to sell...

So the problem Meng Lang encountered was how to film Capture well, make the drama popular, and drive sales of peripheral derivatives?

The plot has changed, but what about the setting?

When it comes to the setting of the captain, Meng Lang actually thinks that the original version was pretty good! It's just that the story wasn't told well, which made it look too awkward.

For example, the form of the capturer's armor!

The original capturer armor has different forms in the setting, namely basic (novice), kapo (red/lion), Aloy (gold/wasp), Egos (blue/bat), sharp Husband (purple/shark).

Not to mention the basic form...

In the advanced form, Kapo, Aloy and Egos each have their own characteristics.

If you find the name difficult to pronounce and remember, you can roughly understand it as, Kapo = attack, Aloy = speed, and Egos = defense!

On top of these four forms, there is also a Ravi form.

As for Ruifu, it can be understood as explosion form! The overall strength crushes the advanced form, but not as good as the ultimate form.

King Catcher is the ultimate form!

The King Catcher Armor is quite special. This is the first set of ultimate armor that has not appeared on TV. It is exclusive to the theatrical version.

This is surprising.

According to the usual routine of the Armor Warriors series, it is usually the final battle of the TV series, where the protagonist summons the ultimate armor, and then it is made into a major theatrical movie.

But the king of arresting broke the convention...

Meng Lang felt that this was Aofei's little trick to deliberately stimulate audiences to buy tickets and forcefully add gimmicks to the movie.

He doesn't need to do this!

In the TV script he wrote, King Catcher will definitely appear in the final battle, continuing the fine tradition of the Armor series.

Take a look at the whole show, from basic to advanced, to explosion, and to the ultimate form! The basic settings of Captor actually don’t have much faults.

Meng Lang had no intention of modifying it!

His modifications to the capture setting were mainly aimed at the Warmaster Armor, which is the armor held by the villains in the play.

There's a big problem with this armor!

The settings store the capture data collected by Zombie King, and you can also use the capture form, but the result is terrible.

This is inappropriate!

As a set of core villain armor, Warmaster's holster is handsomely designed, but there are serious flaws in the setting.

Meng Lang needs to make up for the setting gap.

In his conception, the Warmaster could not use the form of a captive, but had his own set of advanced routes.

Is there an Emperor Lion in the captivity?

Then the War Commander will bring a Devil Tiger!

The king bee versus the evil mosquito, the sky bat versus the earth snake, isn't Ruifu a shark? Then the Warmaster will bring a whale!

Tit for tat, this is the villain!

What?

Do you think this is unnecessary? Directly apply the capturer's template, which is simpler and easier to understand?

I don’t understand this!

In the final analysis, all settings are to serve toys. Isn't the reason why the Warmaster's armor was changed like this just to have a few more toys?

Directly copying the form of the Captor, then it would be enough for the children to just buy one Captor, so why waste money on buying an extra War Commander?

Therefore, Mengzi takes a long-term view.

This is not a question of who has a nicer name or stronger fighting ability between the Emperor Lion War Commander and the Demon Tiger War Commander, but a question of whether the children should pay one share or two!

In addition to the Warmaster's armor, the zombie setting in the play also needs to be modified.

After all!

Whether they are generals, war commanders, zombie kings, zombie puppets, or human puppets, they are all products of science and technology. As a technology monster, it’s normal to be a bit “technical”, right?

Stop being a biochemical monster!

The previous games were full of biochemical monsters, which made Meng Lang want to vomit. It’s rare to adopt the mechanical technology style, so the monsters must of course change their settings.

Of course, these are small things.

Compared with modifying the script, modifying the settings did not take much time, and Meng Lang made the changes quickly.

Then he started casting.

Compared with the gay trend of more men and fewer women in the past, the starring cast of Captain appears to be much more harmonious.

There are more female characters than male characters!

This also resulted in Meng Lang needing to select several young actresses with qualified acting skills and outstanding looks and figures.

this……

It’s easy to make mistakes!

Young and beautiful new actresses often use various tricks to seduce them in order to get an important role.

Meng Lang felt that he couldn't control it.

In order not to make mistakes, he reluctantly handed over this fat job to the idle Wang Kui.

Mr. Meng, I love you!

Wang Kuike was so happy that he blew a string of kisses and ran off to select the actress.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the audition location, he found the proprietress leaning on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone...

Divert trouble to the east!

Wang Kui understood immediately.

This is not a fat loss, it is clearly a trap! There are so many pretty girls who can only look at each other but not hold their hands. No wonder Mr. Meng is not here.

He really thought that Mr. Meng had noble sentiments and was the kind of great man who loved his family.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t dare to come!

be cheated!

While Wang Kui cursed Mr. Meng for being unreliable, he flattered the landlady and begged Tao Mi not to tell his wife.

Okay, go and do your work!

Tao Mi said speechlessly: I'm not here to catch a prostitute, I just stopped by to see if there are any actors suitable for me! As a result, someone felt guilty and didn't dare to come to work...

Wang Kui: ...

Too bad, Mr. Meng!

This was a set within a series of tricks. If he came, he could still say that he is upright and is not afraid of the shadow. But he didn't come, and the speculation of guilty conscience was confirmed.

Wang Kui, who didn't dare to think about what Mr. Meng would do on his knees at night, asked curiously: Madam boss, what kind of actors are you lacking?

A more charming actress!

Taomi explained: I need several villains, all of whom are female characters who wear heavy makeup to look ugly.

I see!

Wang Kui nodded and said, Let me help you see if there are any suitable actors.

No rush, you choose first.

Taomi waved her hands and said with a depressed look on her face: There is a small problem with the dancing goddess. She cannot turn on the machine for the time being. You need to find a good actor for the general first. I am not in a hurry.

Something went wrong?

Wang Kui felt something was fishy, ​​but didn't think much about it. After all, who should worry about the boss's wife's affairs?

And Mr. Meng!

Although he didn't dare to think too much, Wang Kui secretly sent a message to Mr. Meng asking for the specific situation.

Meng Lang, who was entertaining his son at home, was also curious when he saw the message.

What happened to the dancing goddess?

Isn’t the second season starting? Except for a few fans who are boycotting the fasu Tiannu substitution, I haven't heard of any problems?

He went to ask Ma Teng.

As a result, Ma Teng didn't know either. He said that only Mr. Chen in the group had the right to know about the boss's wife's project, and no one else dared to interfere.

So, he asked Chen Huan again.

This is a bit tricky...

Chen Huan knew the inside story, but he felt that the matter was not easy to solve. Even if Mr. Meng knew about it, he probably wouldn't be able to help.

Child protection organizations in Europe and the United States have targeted us, and overseas introduction work has been suspended.

Attack what?

Meng Lang didn't understand.

What's there to attack about the dancing goddess? This is the story of a group of girls jumping around and defeating powerful enemies. How did they get into trouble with the child protection organization?

Ahem...if I say it, you are not allowed to laugh!

you say!

The reason why we are attacked is because many netizens regard the characters in the show as wives or girlfriends!

Ah this...

Meng Lang was dumbfounded.

Is this okay?

Is it wrong for nerds who can't get a wife in real life to lick the screen to find a virtual wife?

According to this, all those neon animations must be banned, otherwise there will still be many shameless guys shouting This is my wife all day long.

That's different!

The nature of animated characters is different from live-action dramas! By the way, Mr. Meng, have you ever played games?

Yes, what's wrong?

Then have you discovered...

Chen Huan suppressed a smile and said: In recent years, in all the games launched by European and American game developers, the female characters are uglier than the last?

Forehead!

This is true!

I heard that the feminist organizations there are quite rampant, and no matter what they do they will bring up topics of discrimination and objectification of women.

These people are not easy to mess with!

Game developers are not willing to offend this group of people, so they simply make the female characters ugly so that there is no excuse.

Although one is a game and the other is a TV series, they cannot be compared.

But the truth is the same!

There are always people who will find fault with you, deliberately stir up trouble for you, and criticize you with an unfounded charge.

How come Neon's works haven't encountered this kind of thing?

Neon is not China!

Chen Huan emphasized: Our company's image is already very bad. It is a Chinese company, and there are always people who take the opportunity to stir up trouble!

This statement is reasonable.

Compared with neon, Europeans and Americans have more serious prejudice and discrimination against China. Besides, PD has a bad image, so it is understandable that he would encounter such a thing.

“Then we won’t introduce it overseas!”

Meng Lang immediately made a decision and said: Who cares about making money from them? The entire East Asian cultural circle is enough to support the dancing goddesses!

There's no point in continuing to pester.

This kind of thing is just the other party's messing around and deliberately targeting PD. Logically speaking, that doesn't make sense.

Just give up!

Anyway, Dancing Goddess is not important, and I'm afraid you won't make much money if you introduce it overseas, so why should you suffer this grievance?

Could it be that for the sake of the European and American markets, we have to cater to those people's tastes and replace the lead actor with the ugly Ruhua?

But pull it down!

A group of nose-picking Ruhua appeared in Dancing Goddess. The scene was so beautiful that Meng Lang almost vomited just thinking about it.

Taking the initiative to withdraw from the European and American markets, Dance Goddess actually does not suffer much loss.

After all, the show's main audience is mostly the otakus of China and Neon.

Even neon is not allowed to be broadcast...

The dancing goddess can still live well just relying on the Chinese market. After all, isn’t that what the original dancing goddess is?

So, really don't worry.

Instead of worrying that the dancing goddess will not survive, it is better to think about the Armor Warrior series. Once the Capture of Generals and Hunting for Armor is completed, what will be filmed in the future?

It can't end here, right?

After all, it was China's special photography team that was in charge. No matter how you thought about it, the Armored Warriors shouldn't have ended so hastily.

At the very least, the number of works must be half that of the Ultraman, Kamen Rider, and Super Sentai series. Is this considered qualified?

I went to the toilet today and found symptoms of blood in my stool. I feel very bad. I will ask the doctor tomorrow.
