Feature Shows Extravaganza

Nava is considered an advance notice.

It's still early for production. Even if the project is approved as quickly as possible, the broadcast time will be delayed until the end of the year.

Spread the bait first to whet your appetite!

The current focus of work is still on Metal Hero Jibon.

Although Ji Bang has finished filming, it has also been broadcast. But this play itself is an experimental work. It is Meng Lang's job to summarize experiences and lessons, analyze the pros and cons of each link, and then create a more perfect sequel.

To this end, he held a meeting.

With the theme of Jibang, several screenwriters and producers from the content production department were summoned to discuss how to prepare for Iron Armored Treasure.

That's right!

The sequel is called Iron Armor Xiaobao!

It should be added here that Tiejia Xiaobao/Star Fragment is actually the domestic translation. The neon name of this game, the accurate translation should be Robot Kabuda.

The protagonist's name is Kabuda, so the play is also called Kabuda. This naming method is quite common and is the case in many works.

but……

The translation of Tiejia Xiaobao is simply great! It’s catchy and fits the theme of the game, so why not use it?

Let’s not talk about the title of the play.

Anyway, Mr. Meng decided to call it this, and no one else could object.

Rather than arguing about the title of the show, why not discuss why the show's style is so out of the ordinary?

It doesn't feel like the Metal Heroes series...

Some screenwriters murmured: Is such a wild and unrestrained story too youthful? Can our old audience accept this change?

That's what worries me too.

Meng Lang said frankly: So from the beginning, I had no intention of introducing Iron Armor Xiaobao into the metal hero system.

Iron Armored Little Treasure is called Iron Armored Little Treasure, not Metal Hero Kabuda!

It has a school of its own flavor.

In fact, the original version of Iron Armor is undoubtedly excellent as a subtitled work. As a Metal Hero Series work, it fails.

This is also the focus of controversy.

Iron Armored Treasure is the 16th work of Metal Heroes. There were two works before it, namely Heavy Armored Team and Super Heavy Armored Team.

These two works together are the B-Fighter series, the third small series of the Metal Heroes series after the Cosmic Criminal Trilogy and Search and Rescue Trilogy.

The first two small series are both trilogies!

So, what about the third installment in the B-Fighter series?

The answer is, Iron Armored Little Treasure!

The drama title of Heavy Armor Sentai is Heavy Armor B-Fighter, the drama title of Super Heavy Armor Sentai is B-Fighter Kabuto, and the drama title of Robo Kabutack is B-Robo Kabutack.

It can be seen from the name that Iron Armor Xiaobao and Heavy Armor Trilogy should be in the same series, and together they are the B-Fighter Trilogy.

But...

Toei overturned this time!

Tie Jia Xiao Bao's style has changed so much that many fans cannot accept it.

Even in the early stages of planning, it was included in the final chapter of the B-Fighter trilogy, but in the end it had to bow its head and draw a clear line with the B-Fighter series.

This incident also paved the way for the decline of the Metal Heroes series.

After Tekka Kabo, Toei made a similar style Iron Detective Luboda, and then entered the reign of Kamen Rider Kuuga, and the Metal Hero series completely disappeared.

Because of this, some people still criticize Tiejia Xiaobao until now. It is believed that this work ultimately killed Metal Heroes, Toei's third major live-action special series that was expected to surpass Sentai Knight.

There is something to say...

This can’t be blamed on Tiejia Xiaobao!

It was definitely not Toei that was wrong, but the ignorant audiences at the time. If they hadn't resisted and rejected the supply of younger children, Toei would not have changed its mind and made a regrettable decision.

It would be the same for anyone.

The Space Criminal trilogy, the Search and Rescue trilogy, and the B-Fighter trilogy are all very popular and popular, but has Toei made money?

No!

The Metal Heroes series caters to young audiences with picky tastes. Watching the crew of the team next door, counting money until your hands cramp, will your mentality change at all?

They want to have a good meal, what's wrong with that?

Even fools know that Zigong Xiangteshe has a money future than the young Xiangteshe. They innovate and seek change, and come up with a small armored treasure. Fans actually call them big pig hooves. Have they changed their minds?

Who can withstand this?

Toei is also a cheerful person. Anyway, it has many IPs, and it doesn't lack the signboard of Metal Hero. If it hits it, it will hit it.

Since you don't like it, then I just won't shoot it. If you like to watch but don't want to go away, you will be beeping all day long. Is it true that I am willing to serve you?

What happened at Toei is very likely to happen again in PD.

The Metal Heroes series has laid a solid foundation and has the support of a large number of fans at home and abroad.

At this time, if Iron Armor Xiaobao is included in the Metal Hero sequence, it will definitely cause controversy and even dissatisfaction among fans.

fine!

As early as a few years ago, Meng Lang actively split the Metal Heroes series. The original Cosmic Criminal and Search and Rescue series were left to the PD Neon Division.

HQ reimagines a metal hero sub-series, with Gibang leading the way and Kabuda following closely behind...

In this way, the conflict is alleviated.

Although some people were still dissatisfied, Meng Lang also found a reason.

If you don’t want to watch the metal heroes, then go to the neon branch next door! They took pictures that you liked, but you didn’t support them?

I’m going to take pictures of Iron Armor Xiaobao, and I’m going to take the supply-side route, don’t you accept it? Don't accept it, just hold it in!

After solving the problem of incompatible styles, the next topic on the conference table surprised everyone.

Think up a game!

Game? What game?

Wang Kui first asked: Isn't this a fight? Use your fists to speak!

You fool, shut up!

Meng Lang explained: If everything can be resolved peacefully, it must be based on peace. You fight and kill all day long, can you take responsibility for teaching bad children?

Are you teaching me how to do things?

Aren't you the one who fights and kills all day long? I wish I could kill my whole family and scatter their ashes. Are you worthy of blaming me?

Wang Kui rolled his eyes and didn't want to speak.

Seeing that he shut up, Meng Lang continued: The story of this game will revolve around the fight for the Peace Star. The process of this fight is not based on fighting and killing, but a more fair and reasonable competition!

And for that, there's a referee!

Wow ohhh!

Everyone was shocked.

When will tokusatsu dramas be able to get rid of the shackles of fighting and killing, and allow the protagonist group and the villain group to sit together and decide the outcome through fair competition?

Is this setting reasonable?

Will it look good when photographed? Will any kids like it? Without fighting, how should toys be designed and sold?
