Feature Shows Extravaganza

After solving the off-site problems, Meng Lang came to the PD Film and Television Base near Jiangchuan Paradise.

Taylor is filming here.

This base can be said to be Ultraman's royal base. Many scenes of river banks, grasslands, woods, and countryside that are familiar to the audience come from this.

This is also the focus of the complaint.

Audiences often say that all members of Ultraman have registered residence in Jiangchuan suburb. It has been replaced by new works for four or five generations, but the scene remains unchanged for thousands of years.

For example, in an old factory with the house number No. 13 Puxin Road, Meng Nan once transformed in the corner, Zhu Xingtuan once fought in the factory, Xiang Xiushu once fought monsters 50 meters away from the factory, and Shi Beidou once stood at the door. Fit...

Leeuwenhoek per audience.

The scene is too monotonous, a problem that has always troubled Pengda. Not only Ultraman, Kamen Rider is even more serious.

When Ultraman was filming, some shots could also be shot on location. But as Kamen Rider is a weekly drama, it is difficult to squeeze in time for filming in other places.

So it became like this.

Fortunately, Pengda has found a solution. Natural landscapes, if you can take them on site, go there. If you really can’t go, then create an “artificial” landscape in the studio.

For example, the scene in front of me...

Li Wanbo is directing the crew to arrange the scenes for filming. It is also the island of Oulon where the two turtle monsters live in episodes 4 and 5 of Taro.

Create an artificial island!

There are not many scenes of Oulong Island, and there is no sense of live shooting. After discussion, the crew decided to build a model island covering an area of ​​2.2 square meters.

The advantage of doing this is to reduce expenses, but the disadvantage is that the island model is not realistic enough and the details are rough and difficult to see, so you can only use a crane to shoot distant views.

Where are King Totas and Queen Totas?

The actor in the suit fell asleep!

Wake them up quickly, put on the leather holsters and get ready to start shooting. Props team! Where are the eggs I need?

I'm coming!

Meng Lang, who was watching, was quickly attracted by the turtle eggs sent by the props team.

According to the script, this should be the egg laid by the giant turtle monster King Totas and Queen Totas. There are three versions in total.

A version of normal size, about the size of a bucket, found and taken away by a human hunting party.

There are also pocket-sized versions, about the size of a quail egg. This is the size to put it in the Queen Totas leather case and hold it in your mouth.

Of course, extra large sizes are also available!

The largest egg is about the same size as an ordinary SUV. The actor in the leather suit stays inside, waits until a fixed time point, and shoots the scene of breaking out of the shell.

These eggs are quite important.

After all, the stories in these two episodes all revolve around these eggs. From human beings stealing eggs due to greed, to the Totas couple seeking revenge and seeking their children, turtle eggs play a connecting role.

This plot is quite interesting!

While the actors were preparing, Li Wanbo asked Meng Lang: It seems that there are some political metaphors missing from Taylor's plot?

Indeed.

Meng Lang smiled and said: Taylor is special because he has a clear relationship between his parents and brothers. This is destined to change the plot accordingly.

The bitterness and hatred are not suitable for Taylor.

In terms of plot alone, Taro is quite brilliant. Although it does not have the depth of Three Major Issues, it has the breadth of humanistic care.

It can be called a family fun!

Taylor's overall style and story line can be called sci-fi light comedy. This drama not only completes the setting of Ultra's world view, but also adds many humorous elements.

For example, episodes like Playing with Rice Cake and Ultra Party Having Barbecue are full of joy and childlike fun. Anyone who watches it will have to admire the screenwriter's magical conception.

Therefore, children like it very much.

Some people may object, saying that Taylor's ratings are not much different from Ace's, so can this be considered an excellent work?

The ratings are indeed correct.

It's a pity that when the ratings of Tello were mentioned, many people subconsciously ignored another work that was broadcast at the same time.

Kamen Rider V3!

V3 and Taylor are almost broadcasting from the front to the back. Being able to achieve results similar to Ace's under the pressure of V3, who dares to say that Taylor is not an excellent work?

V3 Taylor was broadcast at the same time. No wonder the neon lights at that time set off a tokusatsu craze, causing students to not want to go to school.

Speaking of the plot, Meng Lang suddenly remembered. Austrian Father and Austrian Mother have appeared many times in Tyro. Austrian Mother has a human body form, but what about Austrian Father?

In the original version of Ace, Father Ao once appeared as Santa Claus. But this episode involves the conflict between Western culture and neon culture, and the plot was changed by Meng Lang.

So Christmas Father is gone...

Meng Lang, who has a guilty conscience, is always looking for an opportunity. To make up for Ao's father who was accidentally injured, and to satisfy the audience's request for showing his face.

Taylor is perfect!

An old father appears in his son's TV drama. Is there any more suitable option than this? If you miss Taylor and want to arrange for Father Ao's human body, then only Taiga is more suitable.

Opportunities to appear are easy to find!

The plot is also well arranged. Ao's father is worried about his son and pretends to be a human to take a sneak peek at him. After his identity is discovered, just complete the Father's Nagging and then fly away.

The key is, where are the actors?

Ao's father's human form, even if it is not counted as a human body, is still a very important role and cannot be given to others easily.

You need to find someone you can trust.

This role does not require acting skills. But it must be reliable and can be easily hired even after many years. You can't be too young, after all, he is the protagonist's father...

So, who is more suitable?

Meng Lang immediately thought of his father, who was not only an old actor but also had a reliable blood relationship.

But then he thought about it, if he played the role of the first generation and Lao Meng plays Ao's father, then... wouldn't it be a mess?

After ruling out the possibility of Lao Meng, Meng Lang screened the relatives and friends around him based on the existing conditions, and finally came to a conclusion.

Only Director Tao is left!

Although I don't know his acting skills, he should be similar to Lao Meng. In view of the relationship between the two, the reliability is quite high, and the age is suitable for playing Ao's father.

the most important is……

He is Tao Zhao's biological father!

He is a father both on and off screen, and there is no more suitable candidate than him. If Tao Zhao had a son and played Taiga again when he grew up, that would be awesome!

But here comes the problem!

As a director, is it appropriate for Director Tao to appear in a TV series? In other words, is he willing to play the role of Ao's father?

acting?

Director Tao replied via WeChat: You can act, there are no restrictions. But I have never acted, so you are making things difficult for me.

It doesn't matter, acting is not important.

Meng Lang patted his chest and said, With me, the PD Golden Panda Best Actor, giving you one-on-one tutoring lessons, you will soon become an experienced actor.

I can rest assured that.

Director Tao was quite moved and said: A guest role, right? It won't take long, I'll try it out in the afternoon.

[Blow a kiss][Blow a kiss]

The father of Ultra is done!

Ps: As for the name Tao Dalang, can you come up with a better one? Including the name of Leo Eddie's human body, everything can be decided in advance. (It’s best to have some meaning, I’ll arrange the actor’s name)
