Feature Shows Extravaganza

Lao Yang does have connections.

And his sources are more exaggerated than ordinary people imagine. Because Meng Lang leaked this to him.

Meng Lang knew Yang Mingjin.

We've known each other for a long time. They even had dinner together and exchanged contact information. We often communicate on WeChat and chat about industry news and trends, and our relationship is pretty good.

Over the years, Lao Yang, as the PD's royal licking dog and the black pig in the film critic world, has really helped the PD do a lot. In return, Meng Lang also gave him an exclusive inside story.

Metal Heroes Remake!

This remake is not a restart like PD Neon. The reboot is to continue the old route and then make a sequel.

Remaking is about breaking the old shackles and re-establishing a set of settings and worldview. It can be regarded as recreating a series within the original framework.

About three years ago...

Shirakura has just finished filming Metal Hero Gaban and is about to take over Ishimori's position. The Metal Hero series is facing the problem of where to go?

At that time, Meng Lang said it.

Split the Metal Hero into the shell and the lining, and the shell belongs to him to create a new series. Riko returns to Shiracang, and he has time to film the sequel and extension of Gaban.

A series of changes occurred later.

After Shirakura took over as Kamen Rider Chief Producer, he no longer had time to tinker with Metal Heroes. Meng Lang was also busy with Tiga, and had no time to deal with Metal Heroes. This series gradually declined.

Then, TBS came along.

Because Kamen Rider was too strong, and the tokusatsu dramas it invested in were all aborted, TBS hoped to restart Metal Heroes, and PD Neon took over the job.

In the end it became what it is now!

For the Metal Heroes series, PD Neon shares production rights with PD Headquarters, and PD Neon moves forward along the Jiaban route. The PD headquarters is responsible for exploring new areas and expanding more fans.

then……

Mobile Detective Jibon was born!

As the first Heisei Metal Heroes, Yoshibon's setting also paved the way for the Metal Heroes series to gradually become younger and more mechanized.

This is the first time a robot setting has been adopted!

Robots, in other words, are robots. If you change the model again and add some new elements, wouldn't it become Iron Armored Little Treasure?

Someone may ask...

In this case, why not just film Iron Armor Xiaobao? How convenient it would be to save the intermediate steps!

This student, didn’t your teacher tell you that you must have “problem-solving steps” to answer questions? Can you score points by writing the answer directly?

If you take too big a step, you'll pull your balls!

I haven't learned to walk yet, but I want to win the 100-meter dash championship. Isn't this sick? In order to give the audience an adaptation period, Jibon's work is indispensable.

However, there is no need to copy the original version.

The original Ji Bang is indeed a bit crotch-stretching. This was not Meng Lang's deliberate disparagement, but the truth. Toei has implanted too much Kamen Rider visual sense into this work.

Take settings as an example.

The protagonist is a cyborg, but he is not a born cyborg. He was a human before. After being seriously injured, he underwent transformation surgery and became JIBAN, referred to as the metal hero Goba!

Does this set of procedures look familiar?

Kamen Rider has been playing Nima Shuka's routine of transforming people for many years, and Heisei Metal Heroes are still doing it. Isn't that looking for death?

Isn’t it possible to be born a robot?

Meng Lang had already thought about it. In his case, the metal hero Goba was born to be a robot. The background is set in an extremely distant future, where artificial intelligence has become widespread.

The protagonist is a criminal police robot who maintains public order and fights crime. Equipped with the JIBAN system just developed by the Galaxy Federation, it has become the evil nemesis of criminals' nightmares, the metal hero Goba!

It’s very exciting just thinking about it!

Don’t ask why it’s the “Galactic Federation” again. Isn’t this the same background as the previous games?

The problem is, there's no good name for it either.

Galactic Justice Council? Galaxy Ultra Branch? Galactic Empire? Guardians of the Galaxy Earth branch?

As a name junkie, Meng Lang thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a suitable name, so he had to borrow Galaxy Federation.

It doesn't matter anyway.

The names are just the same, but it doesn't mean the world view is the same. The story of Goba takes place in the future, and as long as you are not blind, it will not have anything to do with the previous work.

Now that we have a name, we have a worldview!

The next question is!

This Goba hero, what special abilities does he have? How to crack down on criminals and punish evil?

What about long-range firearms?

Wang Kui chewed gum and said: Since the background of the story takes place in the future, various thermal weapons must be very mature. Laser, electromagnetic, and quantum weapons are all arranged.

How much will it cost?

Meng Lang waved his hand and said: The equipment is too advanced, and the post-production special effects are a waste of time, and it is not easy to do. It is best to use melee equipment, which saves time and effort.

Lightsaber? Whoosh!

This is acceptable……

If it was a lightsaber like Star Wars, Meng Lang thought it was acceptable. The special effects are simple and the fighting is cool.

But this is not enough!

Meng Lang has watched the RoboCop series and knows that the original metal hero Gouba is based on this series. Therefore, he also decided to take a look.

First is the invulnerable body!

As a robot, the protagonist must have a strong body. Ordinary attacks are like scraping to him.

Second is electronic capabilities.

The so-called electronic ability means that the protagonist can use artificial intelligence to obtain permissions and invade various electronic or mechanical devices, a bit like a hacker.

Finally, there is Infinite Power!

In RoboCop, the protagonist can bend the barrel of a gun and knock people away with one punch. This performance is in line with Meng Lang's feelings about the Gouba Hero.

Kicked through the car and slapped the traffic light. Not afraid of fire or water, invulnerable and armed with a lightsaber, he said when they met: According to the laws of the Galactic Federation, you are under arrest!

Handsome, handsome, handsome!

Police robots in the future world should have this ability. Moreover, the body also supports modification and upgrade to add some functional components.

For example, replace the hand and install a drill! In this way, the protagonist can easily get into the ground and dig out the enemy.

Where's the ultimate move? Where's the special move?

You can't have a big move or a special move, right?

There must be a big move!

Meng Lang thought deeply: But I haven't figured out how to design a big move for him. Do you have any good suggestions?

How about a charged lightsaber slash?

Wang Kui gestured with his hands and said: Make a power-charging action in advance. Electricity surges throughout the body, and the lightsaber changes to a color, such as red!

Aim at the enemy and strike with all your strength!

It looks familiar...

If you think about it carefully, isn't this Jiaban's ultimate move? Apart from changing the shape and lighting effects, nothing seems to have changed.

This won't work!

It’s already 2022, how can we still use the previous design? The ultimate move must keep pace with the times and keep up with the times.

Take out a card and implant it into your chest. An electronic female voice said: Authorization approved! The JIBAN system will show its power. After completing the charge, it will perform a lightsaber slash!

Wang Kui: ...

Does it make any difference?

It's nothing more than adding a use authorization card step before accumulating power. Essentially, this is the same old thing!

But don’t say it yet.

Although this set of procedures only adds a card authorization. But the sense of ceremony suddenly increased, and suddenly it became high-end and upscale!

The new semester is about to start. Are you ready to return to school?
