Feature Shows Extravaganza

Be reasonable!

The playability of the Faiz device is indeed not as good as the previous generation Dragon Rider Card Set combination. After all, the combination of various cards greatly enhances the playability of the toy itself.

but……

The Faiz device, or Faiz driver set, has an unprecedented advantage, and that is expansibility.

In the setting of the play, the Faiz driver is the third belt manufactured by Smart Brain Company. It is not the strongest, but it is the most stable and has the most attachments!

Perhaps it was Longqi who started it, making everyone suddenly realize that knight belts can also make money as accessories.

Therefore, in later works, the drive attachment became a crucial prop in the entire drama, and related IP derivatives also used drive attachment as the main profit-making product.

Faiz is one of the best!

In Meng Lang's view, the playability and fun of the 555 series toys are at the forefront even in the entire Heisei Knights sequence.

Wang Kui and Lin Jin are addicted to it, and we can't blame them for their low self-control. After all...

Even he likes to play!

People often wonder, although the Kamen Rider Driver is a toy derivative, you can't transform even if you buy it, so what's the point?

The answer is actually very simple!

When you imitate the protagonist's transformation, implant the drive accessory into the drive, the drive is authorized, lights up and makes a Complete sound effect, you have already gained happiness.

Yes, that's right!

The joy that the drive brings to children is not that they can actually transform, but that it fulfills their dream of being a hero.

Although this is just a toy, in the eyes of the children, the moment the authorized sound effects sound, they have become Kamen Riders and gained unparalleled happiness!

Perhaps in the eyes of others, this idea is naive...

But a man is a boy until he dies!

When I was a child, I used firecrackers to blow up manure tanks, picked up wooden sticks on the roadside and played a set of Qitian Stick Technique, and used the small wooden pistol made by my grandfather to go everywhere...

Aren't these things childish? But why do people enjoy it so much?

Still answered that sentence!

There is a childish ghost in everyone's heart who longs for happiness!

PD Toys made a total of three sets of Faiz driver samples. One set was damaged by Wang Kuilinjin, and Meng Lang sent them another set.

The remaining set was sent to Jiangchuan PD Home to provide early access to early adopter services.

Because it is an experimental product, not many samples were sent. But within the following week, PD Toy's major factories were operating at full capacity, and production capacity was quickly increased.

Production capacity is not an issue!

The only thing I need to worry about is probably how many copies of this product, which Mr. Meng named Kamen Rider Faiz Driver Set, can be sold?

“I think selling a million copies would be pretty cool!”

Ma Teng analyzed carefully: In the past, the sales volume of Kamen Rider belts in a whole year was only two to three million copies.

Dragon Rider is slightly better. The monthly sales of the belt once exceeded 1 million copies. Faiz's set of toys should be similar!

Not always……

Based on past product sales, he analyzed and estimated the monthly sales of new products. Ma Teng's idea was fine, but he still underestimated the potential of the Faiz drive.

Meng Lang's estimated first-month sales volume is about 3-5 million copies, and annual sales may hit tens of millions.

Honestly, it's not difficult!

After Kamen Rider 555 took over from AgitΩ, its popularity continued to explode. Whether it is ratings or online broadcast volume, it has surpassed Dragon Knight.

Under such circumstances, it is a big joke that the toy derivatives market is cold!

Of course, there are no absolutes!

In order to avoid the worst situation, Meng Lang prepared a backup plan.

…

1980s.

The Gaoliang family, who lives near the Second Machinery Factory in Binhai City, welcomed a new member of the family on a snowy winter night.

Because Gao Liang's wife always had a strange dream when she was pregnant. There was nothing in the dream, only a barren land and a towering mountain.

The couple were somewhat superstitious, and after discussion, they decided to name their child Gao Shan Meng, nicknamed Meng Meng.

This kid is very ambitious!

From kindergarten to college, he has always been a standard genius boy, and the walls of his home are covered with awards.

Gao Shanmeng, who received a doctorate in quantum physics at the age of 17, and a group of like-minded talented teenagers jointly established an elite group called Alchemy Star and subsequently developed an optical quantum computer.

Through the optical quantum computer, they predicted in 1996 that the original destruction summoned body would attack the earth, which attracted the attention of governments around the world.

Countries secretly formed the United Earth Defense Organization, referred to as GUARD. In this organization, there are not only scientific research institutions, but also a cross-regional all-weather combat force called XIG.

While conducting quantum acceleration experiments, Gao Shanmeng accidentally broke into a strange space. Here, he met a giant with red light all over his body, and received the inheritance of light.

Subsequently, the destruction of the root caused the body to launch the first round of offensive, opening the space-time tunnel and sending the combat weapon and the space battle beast Gob to the earth.

XIG failed to fight well, and in despair, Alpine Dream awakened the light of the earth, transformed into Ultraman Gaia, defeated Gob, and joined XIG as a scientific advisor...

The story of Gaia begins here!

The entire script can be roughly divided into three stages: the birth of light, the conflict of light and the evolution of light!

As the work with the highest comprehensive evaluation by the Heisei Sanjiri, the story of Gaia is more intense and full of philosophical thinking about human nature.

Of course, this does not mean that Tiga Dina is not good!

The three heroes of Heisei each have their own characteristics.

Tiga wins in the novel morphological change, and the theme of the story can be summarized as the bond between human beings and light. The focus of Dyna's story lies in the magnificent Great Universe Era!

What about Gaia?

If I have to summarize it, the theme of Gaia’s story is probably “Ultraman Humanity”.

Light is the guide, but humans are the executors!

Because of their different ideas, the Light of the Earth and the Light of the Ocean fought. This kind of weird thing can only be seen on Gaia TV.

You mean super ancient dark giant VS light giant? Beria VS Kingdom of Light?

This nature is different!

Both the Dark Giant and Beria are villains in the setting. The fight they had was different from Gaia Aguru.

Aguru is not a villain!

The conflict between him and Gaia is just because of the disagreement between their ideas. Neither the light of the earth nor the light of the ocean stopped the civil war between them.

This is the biggest attraction of Gaia!

There must be depth and depth, and gimmicks and gimmicks. Even the special attack photon streamline is so different!

The reason why the Three Heroes of Heisei are regarded as classics by fans and are still shining brightly after many years is also due to Gaia.

Just imagine!

If Gaia hadn't been so outstanding, causing each trilogy to be worse than the last, would there still be the legend of the Three Heroes of Heisei? I'm afraid I won't be ridiculed as the Heisei Three Worms!

The Three Heroes begin with Tiga and end with Gaia.

Whether it is Tiga who took the lead, Dyna who laid the glorious foundation, or Gaia who made the final decision in the decisive game, they are all rare classics.

Now, this classic is over!

The reporters on the scene applauded, the production staff sent flowers to the leading actors, and when everyone shouted Gaia is finished, Meng Lang, who was squatting behind the monitor, breathed a sigh of relief silently.

Finally finished filming!

The Three Great Heroes of Heisei finally came to a successful conclusion today.

Although he feels that the completion quality of the PD version of Heisei Three Heroes has not reached the expected level, there are still many points worth polishing and improving.

But the flaws do not hide the virtues!

In his previous life, he could only make anti-Japanese dramas, and a third-rate director who wanted to tear apart the Japanese with his hands could produce such quality, which is already extraordinary.

Your own family knows your own affairs!

Meng Lang was very self-aware, and he didn't say that if the Three Great Masters of Heisei were in his hands, he would have to lose his breath every second...

That's unrealistic!

The most arduous work is over, and the rest of the post-production is just a matter of spending some time staring at it.

After a lively Finishing BBQ Party was held at the small pond next to the filming location, the crew also disbanded.

Meng Lang returned to the PD Building.

After briefly handling a few business matters that Chen Huan could not solve, he drove to the Thunderbird Culture company located next to Sunshine Avenue.

Thunderbird Culture, formerly known as Thunderbird Studio.

That's right!

It was the outsourced special effects studio that produced special effects for The King of Fire and hosted Mengzi in a Rolls-Royce, leaving a deep impression on him.

Thunderbird and Mengzi have cooperated for many years. Later, when Mengzi became rich, he also acquired them and incorporated them into PD Film and Television.

But they didn't change the name.

Thunderbird Culture joined the PD Group in the form of a subsidiary and was directly under the jurisdiction of Ma Teng of PD Film and Television.

They have two businesses.

One is to do special effects for the group, and the money is collected from the left hand instead of the right hand. The other is to undertake special effects outsourcing and continue to do your job to earn extra money.

Of course, there is no Rolls-Royce this time!

After Meng Lang acquired Thunderbird, he did not restrict them from continuing to accept outsourcing, but restricted their reception specifications.

This rule made dozens of special effects artists from Thunderbird Culture look at Mr. Meng differently...

Okay, don't mention it.

Meng Lang couldn't help but laugh when he mentioned Rolls-Royce. Now that Thunderbird has become one of our own, we can't rub salt into other people's wounds.

Meng Lang came here not for Rolls-Royce, but for Gaia's post-production special effects.

Thunderbird made a suggestion!

Since the light of the earth and the light of the ocean can be fused to upgrade Ultraman's form, why not consider a combined attack technique?

Combined attack skills?

To put it bluntly, Meng Lang really hadn't thought about it.

Ultra combo attack skills are nothing new. As early as the Ultraman Leo period, specific actions had been proposed and designed.

Remember Astra?

Leo and his younger brother Astra considered a large number of joint attack skills when they were originally designed.

The most classic one is Ultra Double Flash!

In this combined attack technique, Astra squats in front of Leo and raises his hands together. Leo does a set of radio gymnastics behind him and puts his hands on top, releasing red light.

In addition to this double flash, the Leo brothers also have many joint attack skills, such as double flying kick, double spark and so on.

The concept of joint attack is very common in Ultraman. In addition to the Leo brothers, many Ultraman have used it.

However, their combined attack is at best the light rays converge into one, and there is no additional and individually designed combined attack action.

Lack of new ideas!

When it comes to combined attacks, it depends on the Leo brothers and Severn and his son.

Needless to say, the Leo brothers, Severn and his son's combination darts are also a model of Ultra combo attack skills.

The Cosmic Miracle Ray released by the Six Showa brothers' combined attack can be counted as one because of its extra actions...

Is there a joint attack among the Heisei Three Heroes?

Meng Lang scratched his head and thought for a long time, but he didn't expect that besides Light Convergence, these three people had any kind of combined attack skills.

As for Aguru and Gaia's combined attack?

This does exist!

In Tsuburaya's version of the Ultraman Gaia TV series, Gaia and Agur used a variety of combined attack skills.

For example, double palm rays, double destruction rays, double crushing streamlines, double Ultra Cutting, double photon bursts...

But here comes the problem!

These combined attack skills are still presented in the old way of light gathering, without additional and separate combined attack actions.

The more special ones are probably the two skills Photon Square and Double Barrier, which at least have combined attack actions.

The special effects artist of Thunderbird wants to strengthen the status of combination attack skills in practical applications. This is a very good idea!

But this creates a problem!

The fighting scene material has been filmed. If we want to reuse the combined attack skills, we will have to reshoot some scenes, which will delay it for a while.

Is it worth it?

Meng Lang couldn't guarantee that the enhanced effect of the combined attack skill would surpass the existing effect.

It would be very depressing if after spending a lot of time and effort, the final result is not as good as the previous version.

So he is hesitating...

The Thunderbird special effects artist's proposal was very pertinent, and he also came up with a specific implementation plan. Judging from the rendering effect, it is indeed better than the existing version.

But what will the audience think?

Will frequent use of combined attack skills and enhancing the visual perception of combined attack skills affect the ratings?

Mr. Meng, take a gamble!

Mr. Lei, the boss of Thunderbird Studio, said with sweet words: Think about it, if I didn't have to pick you up at the airport in a Rolls-Royce, would Thunderbird still exist today?

this……

Meng Lang was shaken.

Sensing that something was going on, Mr. Lei struck while the iron was hot: If the bet is won, Gaia will reach a higher level and will definitely become a classic masterpiece! Even if the bet loses, it doesn't matter. The audience has to watch it, and it will not affect our sales of toys. !”

It seems to make sense!

Even if the audience doesn't like these fancy combo attack skills, Gaia has done a good job in the plot and can still attract countless audiences.

In this case, what are you afraid of?

Done!

Meng Lang patted the table and said, You ask the special effects artist to design it carefully, and I will call in the actors in the leather jacket to reshoot the scene.

good!

Mr. Meng is courageous!

After hearing this, Mr. Lei rubbed his hands and said with a bright smile: Then we have to recalculate the special effects money!

Brothers have to settle accounts openly!

What happened to Boss Meng? Can the boss have sex for free?

We are a subsidiary with independent financial accounting and are responsible for our own profits and losses. Aren't you happy to charge a little special effects fee?

rash:……

Officially called it combo. I think combo sounds better, so I changed it.
