Chapter 90 (1/2)
Pengda film and television, daily meetings.
The topic of the meeting was - great hero!
”Do you have to name the project?”
Wang Kui felt very uncomfortable. He always called ”great hero”, which was strange.
”What do you think is better?”
Name
According to Mr. Meng, the protagonist should be a giant from the universe, with a huge body and extraordinary power
”Better, just call it Jushan super power!” Wang Kui said excitedly.
Ma Teng shook his head: ”it sounds stupid. It's better to call it superman power overlord...”
Wang Kui was stunned and looked at Mr. Meng.
Meng Lang replied with a look of ”opposition” and then said, ”about the name of the protagonist, we can call Altman!”
”Altman?”
People began to think about the meaning of the word. Ma Teng, who was very active in thinking, asked, ”does this sound like a transliteration word?”
”Well! UItraman!”
Meng Lang explained: ”the variant of Superman, you can also understand it as Superman!”
Although there is no ”Superman” in this time and space, Su Po man is still preemptively registered, which makes Meng Lang feel very surprised.
But it doesn't matter. Superman's gone. Urutolaman is not robbed by him.
”Superman? That's OK. ”
After listening to Meng Lang finish the name, everyone had no objection, so the words ”great hero” written on the small blackboard were erased and replaced by Altman.
”We're going to try something new in this play, including the initial use of holsters and models, unit play, unified world view...”
Before Meng Lang finished, Wang Kui raised his hand and said, ”Mr. Meng, I can understand the first two elements you mentioned. What does a unified world outlook mean?”
Unit play can understand, why can't a unified world outlook be understood?
Meng Lang picked up the small blackboard and drew a circle on it: ”this is the play!”
Another circle was drawn: ”this is a sequel to the independent plot.”
Then he drew a big circle and wrapped the previous two small circles: ”this is the world view!”
Wang Kui understood.
Just like the unit play, the plot of each episode is independent, but the leading group and the main line do not change. If applied, the world outlook does not change. The sequel to the independent plot seems to have nothing to do with the previous one, but the core worldview is the same.
”In the setting, Altman comes from M78 nebula and belongs to the aut police force of the state of light. He is a hero guarding the peace of the universe.”
Meng Lang pressed the remote control to show the PPT to the part of the country of light: ”don't worry about the land of light for the time being. Let's talk about the Aote police force first! They are made up of the most outstanding warriors of the land of light, each of them is... ”
Through Meng Lang's narration, people in the conference room understood this world view.
Altman comes from the aut police force of the land of light. If other works are published later, the protagonist also comes from the same place.
There are two advantages in this way, which can be understood as time-saving and labor-saving. After all, it is too troublesome to make a worldview setting for an Ultraman, and it is also easy to generate bugs.
The second advantage is that the world outlook and background of the series are the same, and a ”assembly” theater version will definitely blow up.
Just like the double League, first out the home movies of each hero. The world outlook and background settings are the same. The aegis Bureau gathers these scattered heroes, and the Avengers League is born!
This is the benefit of a unified world view!
In fact, the unity of world outlook and background setting also has an implicit advantage, that is, it can completely apply the successful template to mass produce new products.
Throughout the Ultraman series, although every TV series has some changes, the core has never changed.
Monsters are rampant, human beings are scattered and fleeing, earth defense organizations attack, return without success, human body changes, fight monsters, and fly away in the sound of ”washing socks”.
This set of templates has been used for decades. Although Yuangu often modifies this set of templates, and even makes the Altman of Gauss's magic modification of templates, neither the conventional changes nor the magic modifications have jumped out of this framework.
