Feature Shows Extravaganza

Youth and adolescence are the two most important stages of life.

During these two stages, everyone's personality, hobbies, and even height and appearance will undergo tremendous changes. There is also a big difference between aesthetics and drama-watching taste.

Therefore, we cannot stick to the same old routine.

The style of Ultraman filmed for youth audiences is definitely different from that of teenage audiences. It is necessary to find the correct positioning and make breakthroughs from the points that young audiences like.

So here comes the question...

What kind of Ultraman works do young audiences hope to see?

Meng Lang, who calls himself a young man but is actually considered a middle-aged man, can't think of the answer to the question, so he has to ask for help from his young friends around him.

Gu Miao said that he hopes to see an Ultraman who breaks the rules. No longer fighting for justice and peace, but fighting for ourselves...

This is too extreme.

Meng Lang shook his head and asked Wang Dali again.

Be stronger!

Wang Dali is full of regrets about his role as Leo. The Ultraman he wants to see should have that kind of invincible appearance and be able to beat anyone he meets...

You can have this!

Meng Lang nodded and said: The main show of Ultraman gives people the feeling that although the giant is a strong man, there are always moments when he cannot do what he wants. If we break the rules and create a super strong hero, we may get a good response!

Next is PD group favorite Wang Kun!

Kunkun has never played the human form of Ultraman and has not assumed an identity. His views should be closest to those of ordinary viewers.

The plot goes deeper!

Other Ultraman films have to take care of younger audiences. If the story is too in-depth, it will be counterproductive. But when it comes to Ultraman films for young audiences, you don't have to worry about not being able to understand them.

Makes sense!

Combining the views of these three people and referring to the works of Yuan Shikong, Meng Lang came up with a general direction.

Seven X and Seven OV!

These two should be the most suitable targets. But OV and X have different story backgrounds and different production methods. Which one should you choose?

After sitting cross-legged in the office and thinking for a long time, Meng Lang finally decided to make the OV into a TV special and arrange it to be broadcast on Big Bird TV's late night slot to test the waters and see the response.

If the response is good, then we will continue to shoot, and Severn X will also take advantage of the trend to establish the project.

If the response is bad, then give up quickly, as it cannot affect the reputation of Qi Ye or even the entire Ultraman series.

Seven OV is not a series...

To be precise, this series is between the theatrical version and the special version. You can watch it as a theatrical version, or you can watch it as a special feature film, whatever you want to say is fine.

There are a total of 16 works in this series.

From Solar Combat in March 1994 to Mysterious Evolution Record in September 2002, it took a full eight years to complete.

According to different periods, the Seven OV series is also divided into several stages. 94 special, 98 commemorative trilogy, 99 final six-part and 02 evolution five-part.

Every plot is different!

The setting of the entire ov series is a bit like Ultraman Mobile. Roughly speaking, after Severn left the earth, no new Ultra warriors came to visit, and the Ultra Guards remained.

Let’s make a 94 version of the OV two-part series first!

Although it has been many years, a classic is a classic after all. To this day, Meng Lang still remembers the story of Solar Combat.

Many years after Severn left the earth, mankind faced multiple environmental crises. Among them, the most deadly ones are global warming and rising sea levels...

In order to solve this problem, humans began to seek self-help. Eliminate dependence on coal and oil and adopt cleaner and more environmentally friendly solar energy.

But this encountered alien obstacles.

In order to invade the earth, the Pitts sent King Airei to release carbon dioxide and high-heat gas to destroy existing solar energy equipment in an attempt to worsen the earth's environment.

At this time, the Ultra Guard discovered Severn.

He fell from the sky and didn't know what he had gone through. He was covered in injuries and fell into a state of suspended animation. Lying quietly in the warehouse, motionless like a corpse.

group!

Seeing the silent Severn in front of him, and thinking of his heroic fighting form, Captain Furukashi couldn't hide his sadness.

This scene is definitely the most heart-wrenching moment in this OV.

Meng Lang still remembered that when he saw this scene through VCD as a child, he couldn't stop crying. I almost thought Severn was dead and could never stand up again...

But what's more worrying is yet to come.

In order to awaken Severn, the Ultra Guard planned to transfer the solar energy outside the atmosphere to Severn.

This plan was sabotaged by monsters.

King Airei killed everyone, destroyed the warehouse, and buried the motionless Severn in the ruins.

At that time, Meng Lang was heartbroken.

Fortunately, there is no sure path, and a hand gradually raised from the ruins proved that Severn was not dead yet. With everyone's expectant eyes on him, he slowly stood up.

Solar energy saved Severn!

After gaining energy, Seven easily defeated King Airei and the Pit Stars, and rescued Anu's son group. The story ended successfully.

This story is full of irony!

Severn's OVs are very in-depth and have received numerous praises. Solar War satirizes the issue of environmental protection.

There is no Ultraman in reality!

What if humans did exactly the same thing as the Pitts? So who should save this earth?

But then again...

The Anu who appears in 94OV is indeed very unpleasant. Although the audience knows very well that this Anu is not Biannu, after all, it is a parallel world where no other Ultra Warriors come to the earth, and it is normal for Anu to marry.

But I just feel unhappy!

Why should Master Qi's sister be given away just because she said she was going to be given away? If this was placed in an online article, it would be a proper giving away a daughter plot, which would poison thousands of Shennongs.

Meng Lang didn't understand what Tsugu was doing.

Even in a parallel world, the heroine cannot be given away casually!

It was given away in 1994, and in 2007, there was a reunion after 40 years at the end of Severn

Parallel worlds also have to talk about basic principles!

Meng Lang couldn't stand this. He would rather delete Annu's scenes and put her in the cold palace with no chance to make a cameo, rather than give her an ending easily.

The same is true for parallel worlds...

This scene had to be changed. Annu's son was changed to Captain Tongshan's son. The overall plot changed little, and the audience wouldn't be disgusted by it.

As for Annu...

Delete the scene and don't give her a chance to make a cameo. It's a parallel world anyway. It would be nice if there was no Vermilion Star Cluster or Juliano in this world.

After revising and revising it, Seven's first OV Solar Combat plan was released.

Considering the duration and shooting cycle, there is no need to find another director for this OV, Meng Lang can complete it himself.

Anyway, it’s only a few dozen minutes of play.

After finishing the filming of Tiga, I squeezed out 2-3 hours every day and could finish the filming in about two weeks.

If it doesn’t work, just one month!
