Feature Shows Extravaganza

Jiangchuan, Pengda Film and Television Base.

In Studio 3, the leading actors and extras in costume gathered around Ultraman Ace in the center to take the final group photo.

eggplant!

Mengzi grinned and made scissor hands.

When Li Wanbo pressed the shutter button, the confetti that had been prepared exploded on everyone's heads, and the scene was filled with joy and laughter.

Ace, it's done!

After the lively closing banquet, Meng Lang dismissed the crew from all over the world, leaving behind the male and female protagonists and the TAC team members.

They can't leave yet...

Just because the filming is over doesn't mean that the leading actors have nothing to do. During post-production, they also have to shoulder the important task of promotion and publicity.

Pengda has already made arrangements.

First, I went to Jiangchuan Satellite TV to participate in the recording of an indoor question-and-answer variety show. Then there are China Overseas Satellite TV, Xiangnan Satellite TV and Beijing Satellite TV.

Why go to these four places?

The answer is simple. These four TV stations have all bought the first-round broadcast rights of Ultraman Ace. Due to emotions and reasons, the crew and creators should show their faces.

It's not over yet!

After running through four domestic TV stations, the crew still had to go to Neon to participate in the recording of the special program prepared by TBS for Ultraman Ace.

The entire process is expected to take one month!

These recorded programs will be broadcast a few days before Ace starts broadcasting, achieving a comprehensive publicity effect.

During this period, the creative team had to accept interviews from various media reporters and take various promotional photos until Ace was broadcast...

Sir, times have changed!

During the first generation of Severn, Pengda was still in a dilemma and could not spend much money on publicity. Therefore, the workload of the main creative team at that time was not heavy.

It all depends on Mengzi posting on Weibo...

The former Mengzi was ridiculed by netizens as living like a marketing account, interacting intensively with netizens 24 hours a day.

Why is this happening?

It's not like PD has no money to promote, so he has to let the boss betray his lust and show his face all day long.

It’s different now!

Unless a new drama is released or a new product is launched, Mengzi rarely releases marketing advertisements.

Don't worry about Ace's promotion.

The Ultraman series has accumulated quite a number of die-hard fans through the first generation of Seven and Jack. Even if the promotion is not strong, the title alone can attract a large audience.

There is no need to worry about post-production. Although robots, optical painting, single cameras and other technical means are used, the actual effect is not bad.

What really worries him is the PD Alliance project under PD Games, which is about to start its first round of internal testing.

What a fate!

Since it was first announced at last year’s carnival, “PD League” has attracted the attention of many players at home and abroad. News about the internal beta has been circulating for almost half a year, and the date has not been confirmed until now.

There are too many bugs...

In four months, the project team worked overtime, and after sacrificing their hair, they finally came up with a basically stable client that was ready for internal testing.

Internal testing requires an activation code.

As the PD dog with the highest authority, Meng Lang naturally has no shortage of these things. On the first day of the closed beta test, I entered the game.

The UI has been redesigned!

Different from the UI style displayed at the carnival, the UI style of the internal beta version is more concise and elegant, with many details optimized.

The biggest change is the mall!

The version shown at the carnival does not have a mall. The internal beta version is online in the mall, but the coupon recharge channel is not open. You can only use gold coins to purchase runes and heroes.

Gold coins come from game play.

After the public beta version is launched, you should also be able to obtain gold coins for daily activities such as signing in.

The hero has barely changed.

The virtual characters under PD are divided into warriors, mages, assassins, auxiliaries and other professions based on different skill characteristics.

Unsurprisingly, there are the most tactics!

80% of PD’s virtual characters are warriors and mages. Only 20% assassins, supports and tanks.

Tank Assassin is okay, with the least support.

In such a large category column, there are only five auxiliary heroes. Considering the Ban/Pick mechanism used in ranking, this number is too small.

Ultra Mother, Pigmon, Sound Goddess, Fairy Queen and Ratchet are the only five auxiliary heroes currently available.

Meng Lang was surprised.

Ultra Mother manages the Silver Crusaders of the Kingdom of Light. As the name suggests, Ambulance's skills are mostly focused on rescuing teammates, so there is no problem with these two as auxiliaries.

The Goddess of Sound and the Fairy Queen?

After checking the skills, I found that the Goddess of Sound can use the power of Sound Gem to contract teammates, add a layer of damage-free shield, and expel abnormal debuffs on teammates. There is nothing wrong with it as a support.

The Demon Fairy Queen is considered a functional auxiliary.

Among the three skills, one is a damage skill, one is a mana recovery skill, and the ultimate skill Magic Depletion can be released on the target area, silencing the opponent for a certain period of time based on the remaining mana.

Okay, that makes sense.

But what happened to Pigmon?

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that this guy's passive can enhance the basic spell penetration and physical penetration of Ultraman heroes within a certain range around him.

The ultimate move Deadly Cuteness will gain a super shield after being released. Once the shield is broken, teammates will become enraged and the damage will be increased by 20% within 10 seconds!

As expected of you! Pigeon!

After looking at the auxiliary heroes, Meng Lang turned his attention to other hero columns with more people.

Mainly free forever heroes!

Similar to Ryze Ice in League of Legends, PD League also has three permanently free heroes. They are the first-generation Ultraman, Demon Valley, and Amusement Prince.

The first generation is a warrior!

Regardless of ranking or matchmaking, he will always be ranked first in the hero selection column. And it has the only free skin in the PD alliance. It is unlikely to weaken for a long time to come...

Mo Gu is a mage, and his skills are mainly Thunder System. This was Meng Lang's bad idea, probably a reskinned version of Wandering Ryze.

The pleasure prince is a shooter...

The skills of this hero are very average, mainly because they are easy to use. The weapon is a magic gun held in one hand, which can fire magic bullets.

The focus may be on dubbing!

In order to keep the bonus, the project leader dubbed the character of the Amusement Prince and perfectly transplanted it into the game. So that players can hear the most original flavor of Yu Nu melon and medicine clay jar.

It doesn’t sound good and doesn’t cost money!

These three heroes, in terms of professional positioning, are very similar to Garen, Ryze and Ice. Based on this coincidence, it makes sense to set them as permanent free heroes, right?

Shady story? How can it be!

Meng Lang never thought of engaging in shady activities. After all, these three heroes were free. How much less would he earn?

When it comes to making money, we have to say that the skin of the Dead Pesticide has +10 basic attributes, which simply ruins the reputation.

This is not necessary at all.

The 10-point attribute is inconspicuous and does not disrupt the game balance too much. But skins are linked to attributes, which is always a thorn in the hearts of players.

Just disgusting...
