Feature Shows Extravaganza

Mr. Meng, the first episode of Electro Sentai Electromagnetic Man has been produced and will be broadcast on NBC tonight...

Wait, NBC?!

Meng Lang said in surprise: Isn't it FOX? Why did it become NBC?

On the other end of the phone, Kent explained patiently: FOX not only offered a low price, but also made a request to insert more advertisements into the drama. In comparison, NBC is more sincere and has more young viewers aged 18-35.

I see!

After Meng Lang listened, he thoughtfully picked up the pen and wrote the three letters NBC on the small notebook.

As a commercial company, the production cost of Tron Sentai Electromagnetic Man is high. In order to reduce risks as much as possible, the broadcasting rights will naturally be awarded to the highest bidder.

Kent did nothing wrong.

In addition to NBC, Kent also opened up Internet channels. E-Team will log on to the domestic Big Bird Video website and keep updated with NBC.

This is a good thing!

The first episode of Electronic Team Electromagnet, whose English name is Electronic team electromagnet, was updated at 20:00 pm after simple subtitle translation.

Only subtitles, no dubbing.

After all, the PD North American branch has limited manpower. Under the pressure of updating one episode every week, it is difficult to be able to make Chinese subtitles.

Fortunately, the domestic audience is not taboo about meat and vegetables, so it would be impossible without Chinese dubbing. As long as there are subtitles, it doesn't affect viewing.

Maybe there are some kneeling people who, while belittling other Chinese dubbing, praise this authentic English dubbing...

Tao Mi borrowed Meng Lang's notebook on the pretext of referring to papers. Forced to have no choice, Meng Lang had to use his tablet to watch Electro Sentai Electromagnetic Man.

Fortunately, a tablet is enough.

As soon as I opened the Big Bird video, a prominent poster of Electro Sentai popped up. Meng Lang clicked lightly, and the software automatically jumped to the playback page.

It's not very effective!

Glancing at the total views of 320,000, Meng Lang sighed calmly.

Such a huge publicity effort even included pop-up advertisements. It's been online for nearly two hours, and there aren't even one million views?

This is too true!

Although the number of users of Big Bird Video is indeed not as high as Penguin Youku iQiyi. But the playback volume is still too low.

Regardless of the number of views, the quality of the first episode of Electro Sentai is indeed quite good.

The old American special effects are so fun!

At the beginning of the first episode, the big scene of the electromagnetic island coming to the earth was shot as well as a disaster movie, and the visual effects were extremely shocking.

The soundtrack is great too!

The film and television industry in the United States is developed, with both money and talent. Therefore, even for a TV series, the special effects soundtrack can reach movie level.

Unfortunately, the plot sucks.

The original Sentai Sentai Electromagnetic Man's opening plot was too pulpy. The Vader clan invaded. The electronic dog IC living on the electromagnetic island sensed the crisis and went out to find five electromagnetic warriors to form a team to fight against the foreign enemies.

Inheriting the poor start of the original version, the PD North American branch introduced a unique local American drama mode. This is great, the start is completely broken.

What is the American drama model?

A straightforward plot is deliberately cut into a storyline with multiple parallel and intersecting clues, creating a confusing and addictive viewing experience.

For example, in this first episode, the electronic dog IC leaves the electromagnetic island to find five electromagnetic warriors.

The original version is straightforward.

In the PD North American version, the screenwriter deliberately strengthened the searching process and added the suspense and decryption element. The electronic dog IC was like a great detective, sifting through clues in the vast sea of ​​people to find the five soldiers.

Wonderful? Wonderful!

But the audience was too tired. The plot that was told in five minutes in the original version took a full 15 minutes in this version.

Of course, it's not all shortcomings.

While watching, Meng Lang discovered something unique. That is the dubbing of the electronic dog IC. It is actually not a real person, but a dog!

Woof woof ~ woof! (I finally found you, electromagnetic Red John!)

The dubbing is a pure dog barking, with subtitles showing what the IC wants to convey.

I have to say, it's quite interesting.

As an electronic dog, IC's howl can only be understood by electromagnetic warriors. As for ordinary people, even standing nearby, they can't hear what this Chow Chow is barking.

In addition, the identities of the five protagonists are also another wonderful setting.

Electromagnetic red is an American football quarterback, electromagnetic blue is a stuntman, electromagnetic yellow is a stock trader, electromagnetic pink is an idol singer, and electromagnetic green is a genius scientist.

Among these five people, Electromagnetic Green is a black man, and Electromagnetic Blue is an Asian. The other three were all white.

Very American...

The story of the first episode can be summarized as the electromagnetic five gathered together. After obtaining the electromagnetic ring, they transformed into electromagnetic warriors and destroyed the Vader monster.

The fight is divided into two parts.

Part of it is a life-and-death fight, five perverts in tights VS Vader's minions. The other part is the gigantic battle, where the Vader monster controls cells to make its body gigantic VS the electromagnetic robot controlled by the five protagonists.

Stand-alone combat isn't bad.

But for the gigantic battle, the director did not master the slow-motion speed, which resulted in the fighting movements being extremely stiff and unnatural.

Of course, these are small things.

A little reminder, the production team fine-tuned the speed in the later stage, and the movements became natural and smooth.

Speaking of gigantic combat, the electromagnetic equipment appearing in the play is definitely the focus. Especially the electromagnetic fighter plane that can transform into a robot, it's simply...

Looks like a PD toy!

That's right!

The so-called giant combat, the reason why the movements of the holster are dull is because the holster is designed directly using toy models.

Because the electromagnetic fighter needs to transform, based on this premise, the design of the holster has been subject to many restrictions, and it has to be made into a cube like MC.

It’s hard for actors to move!

This design concept runs through almost all of the team's works. All giant robots you can think of, whether they are combined or deformed, have this common problem.

Made into the same style as Ultraman?

It's a good idea, but this is a fusion-transforming robot. How to fit and transform a tight-fitting leather suit similar to Ultraman's?

Saka?

Good brother, this is a robot!

Everyone is discussing the scientific method of fusion and transformation, why are you talking about metaphysical fusion?

Kamen Rider can be a reference!

After all, it is the work of the same company, so the knight leather cover should have a lot of reference value. With the addition of the skirt of the team's fusion robot, it's pretty good when you think about it.

After patiently watching the first episode, Meng Lang came to a conclusion.

A decent piece of work!

The advantages are outstanding, but so are the disadvantages. After all, this is the first time to make a team, so omissions are inevitable.

Just because the number of plays is low doesn't mean the work is bad. It's just that many people see the label of multiple protagonists and subconsciously feel disappointed, let alone click on it to watch.

Promotion must be stepped up!
