Feature Shows Extravaganza

Meng Lang hasn't been to Neon for a long time.

But he was not surprised at all, because Neon's economic situation was actually not optimistic. Let alone two or three years, even if it is twenty or thirty years, the city will not change much.

But China is different!

Whether it is a first-tier big city or an eighteenth-tier small city, it changes its appearance almost every two years, and the speed of development is obvious to all.

The reasons behind it are complicated...

Neon had its golden age, and its economy also took off. Unfortunately, it was harvested by the United States, and it fell into ruin after that.

Coupled with last year's economic crisis, which is still in deep quagmire, it is normal for cities to see little change.

Pity……

Meng Lang sighed.

The market environment is so bad that it is difficult for him to make money as an investor. The financial report of PD Neon Division may be ugly.

But it’s not a big problem!

If you earn less, just earn less. As long as you can maintain a balance of payments, you will be better than most of your peers.

Bai Cang came to greet him.

After President Ono retired, Shirakura became the leader of PD (Neon) Co., Ltd., and he was responsible for the reception work.

But besides him, there was also a group of people with special status who also came to the airport to greet him.

Meng Lang didn't know these people!

After Bai Cang's introduction, he learned that this was a representative of the government and local chambers of commerce. To use domestic terms, it was almost the same as an Investment Promotion Office.

Their purpose is simple!

Now that the economy is in recession, as one of the most powerful companies in the world, would Pengda consider increasing investment in Neon?

For example...

Build another paradise?

Meng Lang curled his lips, wanting to slap these mouth-talking monsters to death and tell them to get away as far as they could.

A Leo paradise almost became the tomb of the PD empire, leaving the Black Pig Emperor in danger. He hasn't even taken a breath yet, and he's being encouraged to build a paradise in Neon?

Do you think he is a money printing machine?

But as the old saying goes, don't hit the smiling person with your hand. Do one thing in front of others and do another behind their back. This is Meng Lang's usual routine.

Okay, I'll seriously consider it.

After sending away this group of whimsical representatives, Meng Lang rushed to the custom hotel to check in.

The main reason is that my daughter is still here and the custom shop is not in a hurry. I will definitely go there when I have time!

In fact, he doesn't need to stay in a hotel.

Long before President Ono retired, the PD Neon Branch had already built a building. Not to mention how spacious it was, it could at least accommodate the father and daughter.

But Meng Lang has personal matters to attend to!

Living in a company, so many people stare at me every day. On the one hand, I feel embarrassed to sneak out to go shopping in custom shops, and on the other hand, it is also inconvenient to handle personal matters.

So that was the arrangement.

On his first day in Kyoto, Meng Lang, accompanied by Bai Cang, inspected various departments of the company and the crew that were filming.

We visited Kyoto Land the next day!

I stopped by Kotaro's house for dinner and chatted with Kotaro's parents about their two children.

Interesting to say...

Kotaro's parents only knew that their son was in love and that his girlfriend was from Osaka and quite beautiful. They did not know that Meng Lang existed.

The results can be imagined!

As a veteran employee of PD, Mr. An Tan had a wonderful expression when he saw the president coming to visit with a piece of ham.

Restless and incoherent.

Using fear to describe their mood is not too appropriate. After all, no one expected that their son could actually get a high-quality cabbage like Princess PD?

This gap is too big!

To put it bluntly, Meng Heizhu's identity is no worse than that of the head of a neon chaebol. His status will naturally make An Tan and his wife feel cautious.

Fortunately, Meng Lang had a gentle attitude.

After all, they are the future in-laws, so it is not enough to act like a master. Even if you feel unhappy, you have to smile brightly.

The black pig smiles, life or death is unpredictable!

Perhaps it was an illusion, but Mr. An Tan always felt that the president's smile was a bit scary.

Of course, he didn't dare to say it.

Talking about marriage is not something that can be settled in a day or two. During Meng Lang's visit this time, he only briefly mentioned that he invited Mr. An Tan and his wife to take some time to visit Jiangchuan.

The woman should not take the initiative in this matter!

For both emotional and logical reasons, the man should take the initiative and go to the Jiangchuan Meng family's home ground to have a more detailed discussion.

This is a Chinese custom...

Although Mr. An Tan didn't understand much, he understood the truth and said that he would definitely go to Jiangchuan at the end of the year to visit Lao Meng and his wife.

After that it’s time for the “drinking” session!

Originally, Meng Lang was still thinking that since there would be the premiere of Kamen Rider Decade: All Riders VS Overhaul tomorrow, he couldn't drink too much, so he just had to be considerate.

But Mr. An Tan dares to show off?

I have to say that neon sake is better than Chinese liquor. Can Meng Lang tolerate it? If you don't put him down, do you still have the nerve to return to the country?

Not surprisingly, he won!

But the premiere the next day was completely ruined. When he woke up, it was already noon the next day.

How about it?

Meng Lang rubbed his eyebrows and said with a headache: There was no problem at the premiere, right? How was the audience's feedback?

good!

Bai Cang complained: The audience's dissatisfaction is mainly focused on you. You were obviously there as promised, but it didn't happen. Many people expressed disappointment...

Meng Lang was speechless for a moment.

Smiling awkwardly, he quickly changed the subject and said, What about the movie? Is the attendance high? Are there any bad reviews?

“There are negative reviews, but not many!”

This theatrical version brings together the knights from the previous nine works. It can be regarded as a semi-emotional work. Fans like it very much. The negative reviews mainly come from...

Bai Cang paused for a moment, dumbfounded and said: Fans of Kuuga feel that Kuuga's role is missing, and fans of Yajituo feel that Yagita's role is missing... And no matter what kind of fan you are, just Penteki!

Got it, got it!

Meng Lang covered his forehead and said, In other words, a world where only Brother Diqi is injured is complete?

You can't say that!

Bai Cang explained: The Imperial Cavalry fans are quite strong, and there are many back and forths between one and ten fans.

That's really strong...

As the first Holster Wars theatrical version, there are definitely flaws, but the finished effect conquered the audience and won praise.

Bai Cang also told a detail.

At the premiere, when the audience saw All Kamen Riders Gathering, they felt the shock of N leather cases appearing in the same frame, and their eyes almost dropped.

Too much! Too much!

That kind of excitement, that kind of joy, that kind of shock, can't be described in words.

Meng Lang could understand.

Thinking back to the first time he watched the leather case battle, his eyes almost fell off. All he could think about was, how could there be so many people?

Tsuburoya next door was so greedy!

The most exciting moment of the life-long tokusatsu is the leather case battle. The happiness of having an entire screen filled with leather cases, huge special shots is incomprehensible!

After all, you are still playing the Eight Ultra Brothers and the Ten Brothers. There are only twenty or thirty people at the beginning. How can you compare?

Wait for the special fragrance!

Just clear up a piece of Toei ancestral empty space and recruit dozens of people, and you can create a leather suit war.

However, huge special shots are not enough...

Because the distinctive feature of the giant tokusatsu is the giant hero who is often tens of meters tall!

For this kind of hero, if you want to fight in groups, you can only fight in outer space. For example, in Super Galaxy Legend, the small earth cannot do it.

The limitations are very strong!

Toei is able to engage in leather jacket wars, on the one hand, because of many people, and on the other hand, it has the advantage of life-size tokusatsu.

Ultraman is at a disadvantage in this regard.

Too far away...

Talking about the movie itself, the quality is actually very average, and the cost is less than half of Super Galaxy Legend.

But the effect doubled!

If nothing else, at least it surpassed Legend of the Galaxy at the box office! Neon’s box office is expected to break the record and create a myth of 2 billion yen.

Is this difficult?

Meng Lang asked back: Fans of Kuuga will go to see it, fans of Yajita will go to see it... fans of Emperor Qi will also go to see it! Even some Ultraman fans, Metal Hero fans and Team fans will also come here.

With so many people supporting it, is it really difficult to make 2 billion yen?

It’s 2030!

We cannot always look at today's film market based on the standards of 10 or 20 years ago.

I'll try my best!

Bai Cang smiled bitterly, suspecting that the president was deliberately putting pressure on him for revenge for not taking him to the custom shop.

Unfortunately, he guessed wrong.

Meng Lang did not avenge his personal revenge. He really felt that the theatrical version of All Knights VS Overhaul Card had the potential to break the record.

As for the reason?

Do you even need to ask? Of course it’s from past life experience!

The original Knights VS Overhaul is the box office peak of the original theatrical version, and the leather suit vs. the ancestor has a box office of 1.9 billion yen in 2009.

It makes no sense that the PD version can't even break 2 billion, right?

If that's the case, then don't film a leather case fight, just have a dinner and jump into the sea together!

Bai Cang doesn't know this.

He just thinks that the 555 theatrical version of The Lost Paradise is so amazing! Even if it is full of gimmicks, it is estimated that it will be difficult to surpass Leather Warfare.

But the facts are before our eyes...

On the first day of its premiere, All Knights VS Overhaul was better than Lost Paradise in terms of attendance and box office per theater.

The reputation is quite bad!

But this is a popcorn movie. What everyone is watching is a refreshing movie, and they come for the leather case. Who cares about your poor reputation?

Bai Cang breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he was about to tell Mr. Meng the good news, he suddenly found that Mr. Meng was missing and didn't answer his phone calls... Maybe he went to a custom shop for inspection?

Eating alone is shameless!

Bai Cang, who was still thinking whether he was covering for Mr. Meng or reporting to the proprietress to receive benefits, suddenly received a call.

If you are in Osaka, please don't disturb me!

After hurriedly speaking, Meng Lang hung up the phone and took his daughter into a cemetery.

This is a Buddhist temple.

I don’t know why Buddhist temples have cemeteries and why monks are not ordained, but this is not the point. The point is where are the tombstones?

Mengzi’s father-in-law has given birth!

Not to mention Japanese, he didn't even recognize English. He could only make out the words family tomb, which he could only guess at.

Fortunately, my daughter leads the way.

After wandering around the cemetery for a few times, I finally landed in front of a very simple three-section tomb. On the top is a column-shaped stone tombstone and two square stones below.

I don't know Japanese...

Meng Lang asked his daughter for help: What is written on the side? Why are there so many words?

These are names!

The neon land is small and not suitable for individual tombs or couple tombs, but for family tombs. The names written on it are the family members buried in the tomb.

Oooh!

Meng Lang nodded and immediately asked, Then why didn't I see your mother's name? Are they all such and such masters and lay people?

Are you one hundred thousand whys?

Speechless, Yukino patiently explained: These are not the real names, but the ordained names given after joining the religion.

Okay, okay!

Although he still had many questions, when he saw his daughter's face, he immediately shut up and stopped asking.

Today is Qingming Festival!

Although he was very curious about whether Neon had the concept of Qingming Festival, Meng Lang was still very honest and visited the tomb according to Chinese customs.

Almost twenty years...

The words on the tombstone are still clearly visible, but the face of the person in the tomb has become extremely blurry.

Meng Lang didn't remember what she looked like. He only remembered that she liked eating watermelon. How much did she like it? In order to eat melon, I bought a book called One Hundred Ways to Eat Watermelon.

Meng Lang sighed softly.

If he had not risen, if Pengda was still a small workshop, her story might never be known.

Why bother?

Running away with your baby is really not a choice that a smart person should make.

To be honest, the two of them might have been together for a long time. After all, the predecessor was also a responsible person.

It's too late!

The only thing Meng Lang could do was to take good care of the children for her and him, and sincerely wished that they could be together in the next life.

One cannot live with regrets.

After the grave-sweeping was over, her daughter finally felt relieved, and she was no longer as indifferent to him as her father.

But she still didn't allow Meng Lang to go shopping in some custom shop...

Good guy!

Meng Lang came to Neon at least a dozen or twenty times. He failed to go to the custom shop he had agreed to.

Tao Mi was not allowed to go before.

Now her daughter wouldn't let her go... Meng Lang, who was forty years old, was left with great regrets after all.

He had already thought of it.

Many years later, he was lying in the ICU ward, holding his son's hand as he lay dying and said, Baby! Your dad and I, the biggest regret in our lives is... that we have never been to a custom shop! You... look...

understood!

Xiao Tao, who had already married and started a business, said with tears in his eyes: Dad, don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your last wish and visit custom shops more times!

No! I mean...

The old man Meng Lang looked back and said: Let me go, not you!

Then he died!

Meng Lang felt sad when he thought of this scene. He didn't want to leave any regrets.

He went to order this custom shop!

No one can stop it!

If you can’t go this time, there will be a next time. If you can’t go next time, there will be a next time! He didn't believe it. Could it be that his wife and daughter could still monitor him all the time?

Meng Lang, full of complaints, boarded the plane back home.

Bai Cang reluctantly said: Mr. Meng, come here often! The custom shops in Osaka are actually not as fun as the ones in Kyoto!

I didn't go, I didn't go!

I understand, I understand!

You know Gouba!

If he really went there, would he still have this expression? Can you be sensible? If you say Kyoto is more fun than Osaka, why don't you leave an address or phone number?

Meng Lang wanted to give him a knife.

I wish all readers that everything they ask for will come true, that their paths will be smooth, that they will have much joy, everlasting peace, worry-free years, and a happy new year~
