Feature Shows Extravaganza

Pengda Group has been established for many years, and many employees retire every year. Director Tao is not the first, nor the last.

It's just that the other people's ranks were too low to attract Meng Lang's attention.

The old people go, the new people come!

It coincides with the graduation season. Director Tao's retirement has just been arranged, and each subsidiary has welcomed a new batch of fresh blood.

Most of them are fresh graduates!

After all, Mr. Meng had given instructions to recruit through school recruitment channels as much as possible instead of social recruitment.

why?

Theoretically speaking, social recruitment can obtain a group of experienced employees whose actual work ability is much stronger than that of freshmen who have just left school.

But that's exactly the problem!

Most of the applicants for social recruitment are veterans whose edges have been smoothed by life and lack enthusiasm and ideal ambitions.

Indeed, they are experienced...

But they have also suffered a lot of losses. They dismissed the boss's promise and even wanted to laugh out loud.

Campus recruitment is different!

Just out of school, it is the age when you are high-spirited and full of ambitions to do something big.

This kind of young man is energetic and imaginative. Not only is he obedient and sensible, he is also passionate and suitable for being cannon fodder. The key is that he is easy to fool.

Also eat cakes!

Moreover, due to lack of work experience, labor costs are greatly reduced. Let me ask you, what boss doesn’t like this kind of cheap and high-quality tools?

certainly!

In addition to the above reasons, Meng Lang favored school recruitment, but there was also a deeper reason.

It’s not easy to “renovate” old fried dough sticks!

Fresh graduates are like a blank sheet of paper. It is easier to transform, and they are also better able to integrate into the PD family and accept the PD corporate philosophy.

This is also a big trend!

More and more large enterprises are beginning to shrink their social recruitment channels and invest heavily in school recruitment or independent training of talents.

The mid-life crisis is proof of that!

Why is it difficult to find a job when middle-aged people are unemployed? If other companies have high-quality sources of cannon fodder, why would they hire an old man like you?

People change...

Meng Lang used to hate this phenomenon. After all, at that time, his butt was still sitting on the common people side.

Now, it's different.

After all, he has become what he once hated the most!

Having said that, compared to other friends, the treatment provided by PD is already very good. As a non-technology, non-Internet cultural enterprise, 996’s problems are not very prominent.

The employees are very satisfied!

There is no harm if there is no comparison. Compared with other companies, although PD has a bad reputation, the benefits are still in place.

The company has canteens, dormitories, hospitals, buses and amusement parks, as well as a one-stop education system from kindergarten to university. Employees can also get a 30% discount on toys...

A truly conscientious enterprise!

Mr. Meng is the ultimate invincible eel man!

But when it came to welfare, especially educational welfare, Meng Lang suddenly became angry.

The son went home and complained to him!

The kindergarten teacher has a rude and arrogant attitude and has no patience with the children. Because the teacher's surname is Ge, the children secretly call him Golzan.

It can be seen from this that this teacher goes too far and is regarded as a monster by the children.

After Meng Lang investigated what Xiao Tao reported and found it to be true, he immediately fired Teacher Ge.

Black sheep will not be tolerated!

Fortunately, Xiaotao has a complaint channel. If it were other children who didn't have a complaint channel, we don't know how long this teacher would be causing trouble.

Meng Lang told his son!

If you encounter such an unethical and irresponsible teacher in the future, don't swallow your anger and tell him immediately.

He wants to use his son, a little spy, to find out the bugs in PD kindergarten, primary and secondary schools and even PD university.

Speaking of which...

Xiaotao doesn’t make people worry either!

Children from other families performed their talents by singing and dancing, but he was better off and just recited a poem.

What?

Is reciting poetry good?

It depends on what kind of poem it is! Of course there is no problem with serious poems, but what if the poem he recited was written by his father?

Without a woman in my heart, draw your sword to the God of Nature. On the first page of the sword manual, forget your sweetheart...

Thunder is rolling!

After the little guy finished memorizing the poem, the whole kindergarten was in a sensation. The teacher quickly asked him, who taught this?

My Father!

Xiao Tao said proudly: This is not a poem, this is the Supreme Sword Scripture that my dad asked me to practice. It is said that after practicing it, you will be invincible in the world!

Meng Lang was stunned at that time.

He was just kidding, to amuse the children! Who knew that this brat not only took it seriously, but also took it to the kindergarten to show off...

Taomi gave him a hard look.

Quickly invite your father-in-law and mother-in-law to go to the kindergarten to explain the situation so that everyone will not misunderstand.

There are countless mistakes, but they are all the fault of the child's father. Stop beating the child and educate the child's father first.

Then... Then Meng Lang knelt on the keyboard all night. When he went to the set the next day, he still staggered when he walked...

Meng Lang remembered this grudge.

When he was a child, someone protected him and it was not easy for him to hit his children. When I grow up in the future, I will definitely have to settle this account!

Father's love is like a landslide, is it understandable?

Although Xiaotao had done more than one stupid thing, he was the only son of the third generation of the Meng family after all. If he couldn't have a second child, Meng Lang had nothing to do with him.

The best way to punish this little bastard is to have a second child to divert the attention of the elderly at home.

Otherwise, he will always be at the top of the Meng family's food chain!

Unfortunately, reality is too cruel!

It took three or four years for the first child to be born, and the second child is still not happening yet. No matter how hard Meng Lang worked, he probably had no hope.

Maybe this is life!

Meng Lang sometimes thought that the Meng family had always been a single generation, and perhaps it was destined that he could only have one child.

Just as he was regretting this, good news came from Thunderbird Studio.

Post-production of the movie Spider-Man is completed!

They were able to allocate manpower to the Ultraman Mebius project, which greatly accelerated the post-production progress.

So fast?

Meng Lang was a little surprised.

As the first superhero project, the Spider-Man project was drafted when the theatrical version of Pretty Cure was released.

He thought it would be good if the movie could be released before the end of the year.

I didn’t expect it to be early!

However, if you think about it carefully, although this movie has a huge investment in publicity and is aimed at Hollywood's first-tier major productions, in fact, it still adopts the special photography mode.

That makes sense.

If you really follow the Hollywood model, not only will you burn a lot of money, but the progress is not fast enough. It is common for a movie to take two years to make.

Tokushu mode is much better!

A tokusatsu theatrical version can be controlled within one year from the planning draft to the scheduled release.

Moreover, the investment is low!

Take this Spider-Man as an example. The Hollywood original version cost about 150 million US dollars. It was started in January 2001 and released in May 2002.

And what about the PD version?

Although Ma Teng also spent a lot of money, the total production cost was definitely less than 300 million yuan, equivalent to about 45 million U.S. dollars, and it took more than half a year.

Completely beat the original version in terms of efficiency!

But the box office...

This is hard to say!

The original version was a high investment and high return, with a global box office exceeding 800 million U.S. dollars. It was the first film in North American film history to have a box office of over 100 million in its first week, and the North American box office exceeded 400 million.

This achievement is difficult to surpass.

PD is a Chinese company, Spider-Man does not have fans accumulated from comics and animations, and the production level is average.

Fold it in half, then fold it in half again!

Meng Lang would be very happy to have a total box office of 200 million US dollars, about 1.5 billion yuan.

Someone may ask!

Why is it shoddy?

Why not learn the original version, high investment and high return?

Please!

This is just the first superhero movie. With such a high starting point, aren't you afraid that the next one will become worse than the last one and fall to your death from a high altitude?

The little spider is in trouble!

It was originally a Marvel star-level IP, but ended up selling himself to save his father and joining the Sony family. Although he is on the rich list, he is not doing well.

We can’t live without each other anyway, so we’ll just make do with it!

As the first work in a superhero series, without the original comic and animation foundation, Meng Lang did not dare to invest heavily in it.

All fools know!

Avengers is a hit and has set off a movie-watching frenzy around the world. That's because the independent works of Avengers members have laid the foundation.

The popularity of Avengers members, such as Iron Man and Captain America, cannot be separated from the foundation laid by works such as comics and animation.

As a copywriter, you also need to know common sense!

I feel that Avengers has exploded at the box office, and those who copy Avengers are stupid. They are really fucked up and have never been beaten by society.

You haven’t learned how to walk yet, but you want to run?

All in all, Spider-Man is nothing more than a pathfinder.

Success or failure is not important.

The key is to lay the foundation and leave a good impression on the audience, so that they can launch step by step, a superhero series that only belongs to PD...

More haste less speed!

Spider-Man is like this, and so is Transformers.

The previous game, Transformers 1, became popular mainly because of toy fans and animation fans, and then these two groups of people drove passerby fans to watch the movie.

That’s why there’s Transformers 2!

There will be 3456 more...

Until one day, when the audience gets tired of watching it, PD will stop, start to transform and upgrade, and work hard in other directions.

Meng Lang's expectations for these two movies were not high.

Because it’s still early!

There are so many profitable IPs, why hang them on a tree?

But low expectations doesn't mean he doesn't care about these two movies. At least when they are released, he will still support them.

This is called basic respect!

As one of the PD tridents, Ma Teng has been working hard for him for so many years. There is no credit but hard work. How can he not care?

Yan Tao, on the other hand, is chilling.

The Tangtang PD film and television content production director, the chief producer of the top IP [Ultraman], Mebius has been running for so long, and he still doesn't care about it.

What is he busy with?

It’s just a Galaxy project, so it’s not like we’ve been busy for so long and still don’t have a clue, right?

Out of curiosity, Meng Lang made a special trip to his house after Mebius moved into post-production.

The results are breathtaking!

This person B installed a video conferencing system at home and took Da Sen to online brainstorming every day.

The floor is covered with scratch paper...

Meng Lang picked up one at random and saw strange-looking cards drawn on it. They seemed to be knights?

Kamen Rider? he asked.

Yan Tao nodded.

Meng Lang was very surprised. He shook the scratch paper and asked, Why do the Kamen Rider's things appear here?

I will cross the Great Forest, and the Great Forest will cross me!

Yan Tao muttered: Think from someone else's perspective and brainstorm! I stand in the shoes of Ultraman's producer and think about the settings for Omori's new work, while he stands in the shoes of Kamen Rider's producer and think for me...

Father, like son!

Yan Tao and Da Sen's empathy approach is indeed helpful.

But this is too low!

Dare you say that the brainstorming between just two people is brainstorming? At least call more people for a meeting!

So Meng Lang joined the discussion.

Omori's idea is that Ultraman needs to have a sense of ritual!

Transformation, releasing skills, switching forms, etc. should all include a little dark room concept for human bodies to operate.

Yan Tao's idea is that with the diversified development of Kamen Rider to this day, the story line and setting background are too messy, and there needs to be a core mechanism to connect all the knights.

For example, traveling through time?

The former Meng Lang agreed that Ultraman did need a sense of ritual and could no longer transform into a human body and then disappear during the entire battle as before.

As for the latter...

Meng Lang only agreed with half of it.

Kamen Riders need to be connected in series, that's for sure, but what plays this role is not necessarily the core setting, but a certain knight?

However, he did not object.

Brainstorming!

Regardless of whether his suggestions are good or bad, he should put them forward first, and if there are any problems, we can discuss them together and solve them.

He only has one problem!

Will the two of you discuss these things and apply them to the upcoming new work?

meeting!

Won't!

The two gave opposite answers.

Yan Tao is willing to put these ideas into practice in his new work, and then decide whether to adjust the strategy based on audience feedback.

Omori refused.

His new work has been confirmed to be Kamen Rider Black.

This is his first knight TV drama. Everything is about stability, and we will talk about taking risks later.

even……

After reading the Kamen Rider Black project draft provided by Mr. Meng, he asked a soul question.

Why is there a serious sense of separation between the front half and the back half?

“Because it’s two in one!”

Meng Lang explained to him the relationship between Black and BlackRX, and the reason for the two-in-one.

But Omori doesn’t approve!

He felt that the president's arrangement was inappropriate. Such an obvious sense of fragmentation was obviously not conducive to the popularity of the work. It would be better to split it into independent works.

Not just separate!

You should also cut off unnecessary connections and treat them as two independent knights rather than simply the same person.

Say what you think!

RX can inherit Black's name, but the transformer must be replaced so that a new story can unfold!

Omori said firmly: Otherwise, in the eyes of the audience, this is the same knight! After all, the name is the same and the transformer is the same!

Forehead……

Meng Lang hesitated.

There has always been controversy about whether Black and BlackRX belong to the same knight. Even if Aunt Dong personally said that they are two knights, some people still deny it.

Why?

Isn’t it because all the transformers are Minami Kotaro!

Without this, where would these controversies still exist? From this point of view, Omori's suggestion is very good.

But here comes the problem.

If the transformers are inconsistent, how can RX inherit black's popularity base? Is it still necessary to define it as a Balck sequel?

There is no woman in my heart, the god of nature draws his sword,

The first page of the sword manual, forget your sweetheart,

On the second page of the sword manual, slash the world with a sword,

On the third page of the sword manual, women are the most annoying,

On the fourth page of the sword manual, a woman’s heart is broken,

On the fifth page of the sword manual, an old lover is killed in anger.

Page 6 of the Sword Manual: Not a lover!

Ps: Is there a follow-up to this set of swordsmanship? I want to practice hard
