Feature Shows Extravaganza

Tokusatsu transformers have a long history.

It has also experienced the evolution process from props to toys.

In early tokusatsu dramas, whether it was Ultraman, Kamen Rider or other works, the transformer was more like a prop used by the crew for filming, rather than a commodity.

Then it became a toy!

Why is this so?

In fact, the reason is very simple. The producers have to get it right!

There are many channels for making money, and making the transformer into a toy is undoubtedly the most practical and effective way.

Aunt Dong knows this very well.

Most of the knight's derivatives are basically on the transformation belt. As for other derivatives, they really don't make much money.

Knowing this, the knight's transformations become more and more fancy, and the types of belts become more complex and varied.

Tsuburaya didn't understand it early on.

It became really popular later on. Although the new ones released didn’t have a good reputation, they made money!

From the experiences of Tsuburaya and Aunt Azuma, we can see that what kind of big special effects studio is it if it doesn’t come up with new ways to use voice changers?

How to do Legend of Skyfire?

The original version has a transformer!

A wrist accessory that looks like a phone or watch. It is embedded with crystals and activates energy to transform into a four-spirit warrior with full firepower!

The action is also very cool!

Everyone's transformation actions are different.

What's a pity is that in order to save costs, although different transformation actions are designed, the transformation special effects are not even as good as the Little Demon Fairy.

I’m not going to brag about it, but in the field of domestic special-photography live-action dramas, with the exception of Armor Warrior, the one that has done a better job of transformation is Balala Little Demon Fairy, which is more attentive.

Although quite childish...

Transformation is a very important part!

The fighting can be sloppy and the plot can be stupid, but the transformation must be cool!

Doing the transformation well is half the battle.

Secondly, the shape of the leather case...

Meng Lang also gradually discovered that the audiences who like to watch tokusatsu dramas are basically good-looking people!

He transformed into a handsome man, wore a handsome leather suit, and became a fan!

The ugly leather suit was so ordinary that the audience didn't even bother to remember its name. Just when I saw it, I asked by the way: Who is this?

Unlike transformation, which needs to be handsome and cool, leather case design does not have to follow this standard. An excellent tokusatsu leather case may not be handsome or cool, but it must be distinctive!

You can be ugly, but you have to be ugly in a distinctive way!

As long as the audience can remember this leather case at first glance, it will be a success!

If it is too mediocre and the audience cannot remember it, then it is a failed leather case design.

Speaking of which, I have to mention Ultraman!

Ultraman Zais, commonly known as Ultraman Gemophobia, is a cosmic hero from the Z95 Nebula rather than the M78 Nebula.

He was so criticized by his fans!

In various self-media inventory articles of The Ugliest Ultraman in History, Zaas always ranks at the top and never falls out of the top three.

Sometimes he can even edge out others and top the ugliest list!

No matter what browser you use, just type in the keyword Ultimate Ultraman in the search box, and you're guaranteed to see Zaas appear!

Let’s not discuss whether Zaasi is ugly or not. Assuming that he is really ugly, he is also ugly!

Tsuburaya has launched so many Ultraman, and Ultraman Zaas is definitely one of them who can make a deep impression on people at first glance!

Zaasi’s leather case design is great!

Let’s not talk about whether the designer’s aesthetics has deviated. At least this leather case has achieved one thing:

Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd, I can never forget your face again...

That’s great!

Many people, including many Austrian fans, have never seen Zaas's movies, but they can recognize Zaas at a glance. This is an excellent leather case design!

Meng Lang wants to learn this!

The leather case of the Four Spirit Warriors, not to mention how handsome and cool it is, at least it should be eye-catching!

It can be so handsome that your eyes light up!

Or it can be too ugly to look at!

Of course, the goal must be to be so handsome that it dazzles the audience. If this goal is not achieved, then we will consider making a leather case that is too ugly to look at.

Since the current Legend of Skyfire is still a draft, Meng Lang only talked about the key four spirit warriors.

As for the plot...

I’ll edit this stuff later!

Pengda Film and Television has so many on-staff screenwriters, so they will come in handy at critical moments! For this group of people, as long as Meng Lang can provide a character outline, they can write a gripping plot in minutes.

This is also Meng Lang's idea.

He is not Superman, so it is impossible for him to write down the original plot of every tokusatsu drama. He can only provide a general idea.

At this time, the company's screenwriting team needs to compile a complete collection of scripts based on the outline of ideas provided by him.

The same goes for Legend of Skyfire.

Meng Lang had almost forgotten the plot of the original version and could only remember a small part.

But that doesn't matter, as long as he still remembers the main plot, it'll be fine!

Anyway, everyone knows the story of tokusatsu dramas, it’s just the old cliche of “evil prevails over good”.

This drama requires a lot of actors. You have also seen the list. Director Wang, do you have any ideas?

Taomi!

You can shut up!

Meng Lang covered his heart and asked, When you said this, did you ever think about her salary?!

That could be Tao Mi!

In terms of Weibo followers, Taomi*1≈Meng Lang*10! In terms of salary, Tao Mi\u003ePD Building*2!

A dispensable female character is not worth spending so much money on.

Wang Kui touched his nose awkwardly and said, Can I ask first? We all know each other so well. Isn't it too much to give a preferential remuneration?

Discounts are useless!

Even with a 50% discount, the starting price for a single episode is RMB 50,000, and Meng Tsai cannot afford such a big-name actor.

Tao Mi, forget it.

There are many suitable actresses in the industry, and it's good to change the taste from time to time. There is no need to keep chasing Tao Mi.

Leaving aside the female protagonist, Meng Lang chose Wang Bin, who he had worked with before, when it came to casting the male protagonist.

That's right!

It's Wang Bin who previously played Zhou Yihuo in Bakugan Boy!

Why choose him?

The answer is simple. Because he values ​​his studies and despises acting, his salary is relatively low.

But the acting is great!

Among his peers, Wang Bin's acting skills are definitely among the best!

This is the first choice for cost-effectiveness!

With outstanding acting skills among his peers, the salary is not very high. As long as such an actor has the opportunity to work with him, he will definitely be the best choice.

The casting of Yi Feiyang has been decided!

Then there are several important supporting roles.

Like Xuanwu warrior Yi Dashan, White Tiger warrior Ao Tian, ​​the villain Dr. Shi, the source of all evil Professor Ai, the defeated duo M15 and M16...

There are a lot of supporting characters in Legend of Skyfire, and most of them have enough roles. They are not the kind of supporting roles that are easy to get in three episodes.

This also means that casting must be done carefully.

After all, they are supporting roles with many roles. Even the most inconspicuous M15 and M16 have to be carefully selected.

No one can help yet!

After Yan Tao's big movie was released, he started working on the YOYO Mom ​​project and had no time to help him choose actors.

Forget about Wang Kui.

This guy is both a producer and a director. The sequel to Balala Little Demon Fairy hasn't been released yet, so I don't have time to help him select roles.

You can only rely on yourself!
