Feature Shows Extravaganza

Director Tao thought it was expensive and didn't want to buy it.

Meng Lang asked other TV stations and found that the highest offer they could accept was about 2 million. Anything higher would be unaffordable.

The landlord’s family has no surplus food!

For example, Pengda TV had revenue of 600 million last year. After deducting 200 million in other expenses, it could spend 400 million to purchase new dramas. So how to spend the 400 million? Only buy one show?

TV stations have their own considerations.

Their goal must be to allocate the annual budget evenly to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. In this way, they have main dramas to air every quarter.

It’s so stupid to just buy one show!

There are 365 days in a year and 24 hours a day. How many days can your TV series be broadcast? Do we want endless replays?

So, they can't afford it.

There are a total of 51 episodes of Jack. Based on Mengzi’s lowest quote of 4 million, that’s still 200 million. They can get 200 million, but they will definitely have to overdraw the summer budget.

Now that the summer budget has been overdrawn, Jack is certainly popular, but what happens after Jack is over? 24 hour replay?

Cut it in half and it’s almost enough!

A single episode costs 2 million for a major spring drama, and 51 episodes will be broadcast in one round, which is acceptable including reruns.

It was sold to Jiangchuan TV in the first round.

There is no higher offer, and Director Tao's new king ascends the throne is in need of results. Jack may be able to help him consolidate his position.

Help my good brother!

After signing the contract, Director Tao asked about the filming progress. When I learned that Jack had only filmed 20 episodes, his face suddenly turned dark.

Then why don't you hurry up and take pictures?

The model production is very slow. It's useless for you to rush me. I can only ensure that the filming is completed before Children's Day!

If it weren't for the card model, Jack would have finished it long ago with Meng Lang's skill as a quick shooter. But the model can't keep up, what can he do?

This is also Tsuburaya's troubles.

When Ultraman was filming, Tsuburaya felt that model making was a waste of time. I once thought about customizing a model machine that could continuously produce models after pouring materials.

Due to lack of money, the plan was shelved.

Meng Lang also had a similar idea, using machines to make models to improve production speed and accuracy. He actually tried it, using a toy molding machine to create models.

The finished product is hard to describe...

After seeing the machine model, Mr. Qiao shook his head and said: It's too fake! Moreover, the design is repetitive and the usage scenarios are relatively limited.

This problem is difficult to solve!

To make a model, you need to open a mold. To make models of different styles, you need to open a new mold. It's okay if it's mass production, but small-scale production is doomed!

Meng Langtou is quite stubborn. After hearing about the 3D printing technology, he spent a lot of money to buy a machine. The model made this time performed pretty well under the lens.

But the cost is too high!

If it can be reused, then the cost is acceptable. But for destruction... let's hire artificial intelligence!

After several failures, Meng Lang no longer wanted to take shortcuts. Conscientiously expand the model team and recruit more craftsmen and assistants. Now, Pengda's model team has more than 100 members.

Among them are 30 craft masters and more than 70 assistant apprentices.

There is strength in numbers!

As long as there are enough people, the model production speed will never be slow. At the current speed, the masters can restore the Jiangchuan Industrial Park in two days.

Why Jiangchuan again?

Because it’s convenient for shooting! If it were another city, it would be much troublesome to take photos on location. Jiangchuan is better. The masters will know it by heart after going out for a walk.

Poor Jiangchuan citizens, their homes are gone!

The evil PD consortium restored the entire main city of Jiangchuan without the consent of the citizens. He also summoned monsters to wreak havoc. All buildings, communities, parks and shopping malls were destroyed.

The town hall building is no exception!

Real estate developers are making crazy complaints...

They took a piece of land and planned to build a residential complex. As soon as the renderings of the building were completed and the foundation was not dug, Meng Heizhu made a model and exploded it countless times in the drama!

How to sell a house?

Do I need a real estate consultant to tell the owner that my house is very safe and can withstand even a 1-megadegree fireball from Jetton?

Meng Heizhu single-handedly lowered the average house price in Jiangchuan by 100 yuan!

Really a great villain!

Mengheizhu appeared in Jiangchuan, and all walks of life suffered. Outsiders always ask, does every household in Jiangchuan keep a monster?

Yes, you discovered this!

Abroad, Jiangchuan is known as the mysterious City of Monsters. The famous travel magazine Traveler joked: You can travel to any city in the world, but never go to Jiangchuan. Because here, you are faced with the threat of monsters every moment.

The city’s popularity continues to grow!

For Jiangchuan citizens, this is an alternative sense of honor. They like Ultraman and Pengda.

Statistics show that when the first generation of Ultraman was broadcast, Jiangchuan's real-time ratings were as high as 70%! During the Severn period, it even broke through the 80 mark in one fell swoop!

It can be seen from this that the citizens denounce the black pig spirit with their mouths, but in fact they still love him in their hearts.

Because I love him, I will spare no effort to help him. Watch Pengda dramas, buy Pengda toys, visit Pengda Paradise... and provide scripts?

Sent from a fan?

Meng Lang took the exercise book and said in a dumbfounded way: How do you use an exercise book? Just use a notebook or letter paper!

Wang Kui explained: This is a high school fan who is still in school. Maybe a homework book is more convenient!

Okay, let me take a look first...

Meng Lang drove Wang Kui away and opened his homework book to find out what story this fan had written.

Hello, Uncle Meng! I am Lin Jin from Class 4, Grade 3, Jiangchuan Yulin Middle School. I'm sorry to disturb you...

Ten years old fan?

After reading the first paragraph, Meng Lang instantly became serious.

Lin Jin is 18 years old this year. He has not attended kindergarten and started studying in pre-school. It was the first time he left his parents and cried out of fear.

In order to make him laugh, the teacher gave him a small Leapfrog toy. That was his first encounter with Pengda.

Time flies, and now he has grown up and is about to take the college entrance examination and go to study abroad. Before leaving, he wrote a story for his favorite Ultraman work, hoping to be adopted by Uncle Meng.

The story is very simple. It is roughly about a scientific madman who creates monsters through biological research, and is finally eliminated by Ultraman without any danger.

Meng Lang liked this story very much. Although it was simple, it was endlessly memorable. The scientific lunatic who studies monsters and causes catastrophe is also an enduring plot in the Ultraman series.

Moreover, the monster designed by Lin Jin is also very interesting. It crosses the boundary between animal and plant and is a kind of new life created by man!

Do you really want to adopt it?

Wang Kui was surprised. He had also read the story written in the homework book. Although he felt it was good, it was still not as interesting as the plot written by a professional screenwriter. Unexpectedly, Mr. Meng actually accepted it.
