Feature Shows Extravaganza

Early morning, Jiangchuan City.

The second day of the PD Carnival.

Today’s special offer is the 20th anniversary of the superhero assembly commemorative stamps, coins, and commemorative badges, which are on sale in limited quantities for a limited time.

while stocks last!

Stamps are just like badges. Although they are limited for a limited time, the quantity is relatively large and the price is cheap, so many people can buy them.

The key is that commemorative coins are difficult to obtain...

Limited to 2034 sets worldwide!

This thing is produced by Zhonghai Mint and designed by well-known artists. The cost of a single commemorative coin is as high as four figures, and the price of a complete set of 20 coins is as high as tens of thousands of yuan.

It doesn’t matter if it’s expensive!

The former PD members have grown up in the past 20 years, and it is only tens of thousands of dollars, so it will definitely not be a problem for them.

The key is that the quantity is too small, and you have to check the PD membership level when purchasing. Only PD members with platinum level or above are eligible to subscribe for this commemorative coin set.

Remember, this is just a subscription!

Everyone knows the number of platinum-level and above members. With so many people rushing to buy together, not only choosing one from a thousand, but choosing one from a hundred is not too much, right?

certainly!

Don’t call Uncle Meng a liar either.

This set of commemorative coins includes 20 classic PD heroes such as the first generation Ultraman, the first generation Kamen Rider, Emperor Man and Demon Fairy Blue, and the materials are worth the price.

It can be said that if you buy it, you will earn it!

The room for appreciation is obvious to all. Whether you buy it for home collection or simply give it away, you will definitely not lose money.

Assuming you can buy it...

Souvenirs were on sale, and Meng Lang stopped joining in the fun. Anyway, there is no need to worry about selling, and there is no need for him to come forward to promote it.

He went to Jiangchuan Paradise!

Construction of the Ultra Street near the [Ultra Arena] has begun.

The estimated construction period is one month!

Build a street out of thin air in a month? It sounds incredible, but the construction period is true.

The land belongs to PD Park, the design drawings are ready, there is no shortage of workers and machinery, and the entire construction process is template-based.

After all, they are all two-story buildings!

It's quick to fix, but decorating is a hassle. On this street, it is necessary to decorate a bicycle shop, cake shop, noodle shop, car repair shop...

After the decoration is completed, we still need to purchase goods!

Fortunately, Ma Teng helped, otherwise Meng Lang would have died of exhaustion sooner or later just relying on Meng Lang to decorate an entire street.

Although it has just started construction not long ago, the first shop on the street, the bicycle shop opened by Meng Nan in Ultra 18 Warriors, has already begun to take shape.

Once the project is completed and the store decoration is completed, the crew can move in for filming.

In the early stage, we will go on location first...

Regarding the location, there is a very interesting saying. The Ultra Brothers film shot by Tsuburaya is actually a promotional film for Yokohama city tourism.

Meng Lang thought there was nothing wrong!

Many iconic attractions of Yokohama City appear in Chaobali, such as the Iron Tower that appears in front of the audience at the beginning of the film.

That's Malinta!

Looking from the Malin Tower, not far away is the Yokohama Bay Bridge where the Eight Ultra Brothers and the Fusion Monster fight at the end of the film!

Then at the beginning of the film, the Chinatown that Dagu entered by bicycle also exists in reality. It is called Yokohama Chinatown. The main entrance appears in the film.

Oko goes to work and introduces the place to tourists. In reality, it is the Yokohama Port Opening Memorial Hall.

Asuka and I dreamed, watching Dagu being beaten, and then remembered the place where the memory transformed. In reality, it was the Kanagawa Prefectural Government Building.

The three heroes recalled the past, and the place where Dagu finally set sail in the spaceship was actually the Nippon Maru Memorial Park.

Dagu had a hallucination and saw the red building complex where the monster appeared. In reality, it was a red brick warehouse in Yokohama.

There is also the wooden pavilion where Da Gu walks on the street and awakens his memory from the numb and painful crowd. It is actually the famous Hui Fang Pavilion in Chinatown.

Whether it’s the Mazu Temple in Chinatown where people evacuate, or the park at the foot of the mountain where Dagu and Future talked for the first time, or the Ferris wheel behind Dagu’s transformation...

They all exist in reality!

It can be said that the scenes that appear in Chaobali are all tourist attractions worth visiting in Yokohama. It is defined as a city promotional video, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Watching this movie once is equivalent to traveling to Yokohama and seeing all the major attractions in Yokohama.

So, here comes the problem!

As a native of Jiangchuan, if Meng Lang wants to promote tourism in his hometown, which iconic attractions should he choose?

There must be one in PD Paradise!

The old PD building and the new PD headquarters can also be arranged, and then the most famous cross-river bridge in Jiangchuan...

As an ancient city with a long history, Jiangchuan has quite a lot of scenic spots. However, due to the limited time of the movie, it is impossible to film them all, so you have to make choices.

This is not a good choice!

Many scenic spots were similar, and it was impossible to say which one was more famous or more beautiful. No matter which one was excluded, he felt it was a pity.

My hair has turned gray!

Before he could select the most suitable scenic spots for the movie and arrange for on-site inspections, Tao Mi suddenly called.

Director Tao is critically ill!

Without having time to think too much, Meng Lang hurriedly drove to the People's Hospital. Outside the emergency room, he saw his wife and son with red eyes.

And Director Tao’s lover!

Tao Zhao and his wife are on their way...

According to Tao Mi, she took Xiao Tao to visit Director Tao today, but when he was about to have lunch, Director Tao suddenly suffered from angina pectoris and was already in shock when he was sent to the hospital.

Doctors are working on the rescue now!

I'm afraid the old man won't be able to survive this test! Director Tao's lover said sadly.

Meng Lang's heart went cold.

Director Tao is 69 years old this year. He is already old, but he is also suffering from a disease like myocardial infarction. Even if he thinks about the best, he only has a few years left to live.

Tao Zhao will arrive soon!

But he came in a hurry, but failed to see his father for the last time. The friend who had played and joked with Meng Lang for many years, and the noble person who supported him when he was in trouble, finally left.

He was 69 years old!

Meng Lang felt very heavy.

He and Director Tao were not only friends who trusted each other, but also family members who supported each other. His death dealt a great blow to Meng Lang.

He was thinking...

When Ultra Warriors 18 is released, I will take the gray-haired Director Tao to the theater to show off his achievements.

I still think that after Xiao Tao takes over, he and Director Tao will sit on a small bench each and sit by the fish pond to fish and brag all day.

As a result, he left first.

Meng Lang was in a sad mood and couldn't cheer up for several days. If Chen Huan hadn't come to persuade him, he wouldn't have even wanted to attend the closing ceremony of the carnival.

The carnival is over!

Compared with the lively and festive opening ceremony, the atmosphere of the closing ceremony seemed particularly heavy. Because everyone has received the news of Director Tao's death, they fully understand Meng Lang's mood at this time.

The funeral was held three days later!

Tao Zhao said that Director Tao left a message during his lifetime that he must return to his roots after his death. So Tao Zhao wanted to take his ashes back to his hometown for burial.

Meng Lang had no objection.

Since Director Tao has arrangements, just follow what he says. There is nothing wrong with being buried in my hometown, except for the long distance and inconvenience of sweeping the grave.

On the day of the burial, Lao Meng also came.

Originally, on the day Director Tao passed away, he had booked a flight back to China. However, Bolton's main goalkeeper insulted the fans during the game that day, and Lao Meng will not be able to leave for a while.

So I put it off until today!

It's also a headache to talk about. Bolton has a total of three goalkeepers, namely the main player, substitute (veteran) and youth training rookie.

In that day's game, the main goalkeeper made repeated mistakes and was scored eight goals by the Galaxy Battleship formed by Manchester City. The fans immediately went crazy, and even before the game was over, they began to yell at him for match-fixing.

He also has a bad temper!

When ordinary players encounter this kind of situation, they just tolerate it for the time being and perform better later.

He didn't. He gave the fans the middle finger during the game. In the post-match interview, he punched the fans and cursed them.

Extremely bad behavior!

The club has decided to fine him, but it is difficult for Lao Meng to agree to the fans' call to let him go.

It's easy to get rid of him!

The question is who will take over?

Goalkeepers are not a big deal. There is simply no suitable goalkeeper to be found in the current transfer market.

The veteran substitutes generally cannot keep up with their age and cannot play a full game. Youth training rookies are too young, lack game experience, and make frequent mistakes...

All said and done, it's still troublesome.

When Lao Meng mentioned this matter, his head was pounding.

He didn't like this player either and wanted to kick him out immediately. But he asked several companies, but no suitable goalkeeper was listed for sale!

When asked, they were all not for sale!

You can't be a rookie in the youth training, right?

I think it's okay! Although he is a little younger and lacks experience and skills, the player's character is the most important!

Meng Lang commented: Anyway, this season, we have no hope of winning the championship. As a rookie, just treat it as training!

Okay! Do as you say!

Having won the Champions League twice, Lao Meng no longer has any obsession. Just practice training. If he can replace this disgusting guy, he will be worthy of the fans.

Lao Meng is also old!

He and Director Tao were only about one year apart in age. Watching Director Tao leave, Meng Lang was worried that the old man in the family would leave as soon as he said so.

Fortunately, Lao Meng is in good health.

Judging from the annual physical examination results, Lao Meng has no serious illness, only high blood pressure bothers him, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

Just after the funeral, Meng Lang returned to Jiangchuan.

He needs to recast the role!

It was originally agreed that Director Tao would play the role of Tao Zhao's adoptive father in Ultra Warriors 18.

But this happened...

The actors must be replaced! Because the incident happened suddenly, and the crew was about to start filming, it would be difficult to find a suitable replacement actor for a while.

Just don't change it!

Ma Teng suggested: Go directly to CG and let Director Tao continue to star.

Will this work?

Meng Lang said in surprise: If the others are gone, can we still let him continue acting?

sure!

Not to mention how exaggerated the current CG special effects technology is, at least it is possible to fake the real thing. It's just a fictional Director Tao, it's trivial! Ma Teng nodded.

Yes, yes!

Chen Huan asked doubtfully: But if you do this, the budget must be high, right?

This is inevitable!

Actual filming with actors is definitely more cost-effective and economical than this method. After all, pure special effects cutouts are not on the same level of difficulty.

The problem is, there’s no way to actually shoot it!

Director Tao has been burned into a ball of ashes. Where can I find someone to take actual photos?

“It doesn’t matter if you burn money!”

Meng Lang nodded in agreement and said, As long as Director Tao can appear in the film, I have no problem with spending more money.

All right……

The boss has said so, so naturally Chen Huan and Ma Teng will not object.

After all, they could also see that the relationship between Mr. Meng and Director Tao was indeed not that simple. The two had a deep relationship.

The Super Ultra 18 Warriors production committee unanimously agreed to use CG special effects technology to restore Director Tao's voice and smile.

The remaining question is...

How to persuade Tao Zhao?

As Taro's human body, Tao Zhao made it clear that he will star in the Ultra Warriors movie and continue to transform into Taro to fight.

This happened temporarily!

Tao Zhao must be in a bad mood now. Let him join the set for filming at this time. Let alone whether he is willing or not, the key point is who dares to say this?

Meng Lang didn't dare to do it anyway!

If he ran up to Tao Zhao now and said to him: Brother, don't be sad, we still have a movie to make!

Do you believe Taomi can hack him to death?

It’s impossible not to let him act!

Tao Zhao is Tai Luo, and Tai Luo is Tao Zhao. The two of them are an inseparable whole. As long as he is alive, PD cannot replace Taylor.

then……

Everyone looked at Chen Huan with expectations in their eyes.

You are the president, go ahead!

Chen Huan: ...

He doesn't want to go!

At this time, I went to Tao Zhao and asked him about the movie. Isn't that deliberately causing trouble for others?

are you going?

Meng Lang threatened: If you don't go, I will remove you from your post now and let Ma Teng be the president!

Ma Teng looked surprised.

After so many years, is he finally going to make a comeback and advance from second-in-command to first-in-command?

Sure enough, Mr. Meng still loves him!

Before he could be happy for too long, Chen Huan nodded and said, It's okay to remove him, but I don't think Ma Teng is suitable to be president. Wang Kui is more suitable than him!

Really?

Wang Kui was overjoyed and said: Mr. Chen, do you really think so? I knew you must love me!

I object!

Upon hearing this, Ma Teng stood up instantly and said, Wang Kui? Pikui! Is he worthy of being president? Apart from flattering Mr. Meng, what else has he done?

I don't deserve it, do you?

Wang Kui retorted: Who in the entire PD doesn't know that you, Ma Teng, are the reincarnation of a sycophant. When it comes to flattering and licking President Meng, who can be better than you?

Okay, okay!

Meng Lang pretended to be angry and said, Executive executive, can you speak more appropriately? A quarrel is a quarrel, don't behave like a shrew!

How about this……

Chen Huan muttered: Since you two are not convinced by each other, let's compete! Whoever brings Tao Zhao back to the crew will be the next PD president!

Okay, I'll take it!

The president must be mine...

The two of them were in high spirits, said harsh words to each other, and went straight to Tao Zhao's hometown.

Meng Lang and Chen Huan looked at each other and smiled.

The method of motivating generals really works. These two stupid vice presidents, with their IQs, still want to be the leader? Hurry up and go to bed!

What will you say then?

Chen Huan asked curiously: Pretend to be stupid and play with amnesia? Or are you just arranging a subsidiary president to send them away?

No, no, no, no, you can't cheat!

Meng Lang waved his hands and said, The next president we agreed on is the next one! The next one forever!

Chen Huan: ...

A lifelong prince, will he still be a prince when he grows old?

Yesterday I went to the airport to pick someone up and forgot to send a leave request note.
