Rebirth Begins with a Manga Adaptation

At the beginning of February, during the broadcast season of Giants and Gundam, the movie version of Ultraman Tiga was also launched.

This time period happened to be the Spring Festival period of the ancient calendar, and Jing Yu's purpose of arranging this movie to be online was also very simple.

Anyway, it is the children's market that values ​​the Spring Festival schedule.

Generally, it is basically impossible for children-oriented movies in the Spring Festival schedule to take the first place in the box office.

The spending power of children is still much lower than that of adults, and the number of people watching movies during the Chinese New Year is not as many as adults.

However, the stickiness of fans in the young and early childhood stage is very huge. Although many adult movie fans automatically ignore the word Tijia when they see it, but with the popularity of Ultraman in the big week, the actual box office of Tijia's movie version is still very impressive.

The box office on the first day was 140 million, ranking fifth at the box office on the first day of this year's Spring Festival film, and in terms of the word-of-mouth of the work, it is actually the first in the Spring Festival film.

The previous New Year's Day was a holiday, but the Spring Festival will definitely be a few more days. Jing Yu also got away from the work machine mode of the past two months, and went to the coastal city with Yu Youqing for a few days.

Of course, during this process, Jing Yu also pays close attention to the data of his own works.

After The Giant premiered on the fifth episode of its second season, the show's praise almost rose to horror status among the fan community.

Many Jingyu fans are always arguing whether the giant is the most classic TV series that Jingyu has been in for so many years.

Of course, in the big week without steel refining, it is really difficult to find works that can compete with it in terms of the quality of the giant's early plot. Although Gundam is not bad, it is slower than the giant. The early plot It is a bit procrastinating, and although the production quality and special effects fighting maintain a high ratings, it is true that the exciting level of the plot as high as the early stage is slightly worse than that of the giants.

And Altman movies.

Jing Yu actually felt that he made it like the Pleasant Goat Movie and Haunted Bear Movie in his previous life.

Anyway, children like it very much, and after watching it, parents unanimously gave high marks to this kind of righteous Ultraman defeating evil monsters and promoting positive energy throughout the play.

Originally, it was released in the Spring Festival file to test the water

"Otherwise, in the future, a movie similar to Ultraman will be released every Spring Festival. It's brainless and profitable." Jing Yu said to himself while blowing the wind on the beach.

He and Yu Youqing are so famous that they are definitely not allowed to go to any public places, so when they go out to travel in coastal cities, they contract the right to use this beach for a few days.

"But in a few years, after Dijia's popularity subsides, the audience won't buy it, right?"

Yu Youqing next to her was wearing a light blue swimsuit, her slender legs and arms were exposed, her breasts were squeezed together by the swimsuit, but in order to prevent her from getting sunburned, she still had a huge parasol on top of her head.

It's still winter in the Modu area, and the two Jing Yu who came here to play can be said to be purely afraid of the cold, so they came here to bask in the sun.

"So it must be more than Tiga! The Ultraman series is a huge series. When this Spring Festival is over, I will create the plans and scripts for its follow-up works as soon as possible."

"For such a drama about Ultraman fighting monsters, I feel that after creating more content, it will be too routine, and the audience won't buy it!" Yu Youqing hesitated for a while, and suggested.

"That's for sure," Jing Yu said without hesitation.

"Most people have seen several similar works, or when they become adults, it is difficult to be attracted by such works. But ah! No one is always a child, but there will always be children in the world. One of the routine works So it can last for a long time, because its audience is definitely not those old whites who are familiar with various routines and plots, but those young whites who are born continuously."

Ultraman, Pokémon, Marvel, Disney, Hello Kitty

How many adults in the previous life were still obsessed with these things in their 30s and 40s?

But they are world-class IPs, and there will always be children who like them.

Yu Youqing understood what Jing Yu meant a little bit, thought for a while and said.

"Indeed, I feel that the children's market is also quite big. The production cost of Ultraman Tiga's film is only more than 60 million yuan, but the box office on the first day of release is more than 100 million yuan, which is almost paying back. If this series can be done, Become a label work of our company."

"That's for sure, and not only Ultraman is a series of works, Gundam is also a series of works, and the Yu-Gi-Oh game and Pokémon game that are currently being developed are all series works, including the content behind the previous Destiny Guardian Night. Quite a lot." Jing Yu let out a long breath.

Although Jingyu's Blue Star Film and Television Culture Company has achieved only a few years, Jingyu has already started to build the company's cultural trademark and other layouts.

Not only at home, but overseas as well. Branches are also being established, responsible for the promotion of Jingyu's works overseas, the sale of derivative products and the operation of copyrights.

After all, Jing Yu is on vacation, so he is in the mood to talk about some related topics with Yu Youqing.

Yu Youqing also looked at Jing Yu with a smile on her face, and she spoke after a long time.

"You have already had an idea about the planning of your works. I thought you were the kind of character who takes one step at a time."

"How is it possible? I am responsible for any work I present, okay? But if it is really unacceptable, it will be another story if no one likes it in Dazhou." Jing Yu said.

In fact, similar works are not absent. For example, the residents of Dazhou are a little uncomfortable with the construction of some social customs of the "virtual" world of the Japanese island in Jingyu's works.

For example, the more serious custom of male superiority to females, and the setting of full-time housewives for girls after marriage in the plot. In some previous works, such as the winner is justice, Jing Yu did not modify these aspects of the original work. In fact, after the broadcast, the society There is quite a criticism, all the similar works of Jing Yu later changed these elements of the original works.

Jing Yu lay on the beach chair beside Yu Youqing and held her hand.

"And not only do I have a plan for the works, I also have a plan for the lives of the two of us in the future. Although I have time to rest and live a salted life, it is definitely not a step by step."

A few days later, the sixth episode of the second season of Attack on Titan was officially broadcast.

From the fifth episode to this episode, there is an important node of the Spring Festival.

At this moment, almost all the residents in Dazhou are still in the period of the Spring Festival holiday, and the seasons in most places are still cold, so in fact

This week, whether it is a movie theater or a TV station, the number of viewers and revenues far exceed those of the same period in the past.

For TV stations like the Big Six, their ratings have increased between 0.5% and 1%.

And on Saturday, the ratings of Yunteng TV station rose at an abnormal rate from six or seven o'clock in the afternoon.

And the sixth episode is also a very important episode in the entire giant's works.

The revelation of the power of coordinates revealed the power of the ancestor giant for the first time.

It's eleven o'clock in the evening.

Before the broadcast, Yunteng's ratings had soared to more than 14%.

For this situation, the staff of Yunteng are no strangers to it.

In the past, the TV station broadcast Jing Yu's works, and the ratings were the highest in the same period, so the whole station was extremely excited, and it would be incredible.

Now, if the ratings of Jing Yu's dramas broadcast by TV stations are not high, that would be a strange thing.

The story continues from the previous episode, after Christa was swallowed by Ymir.

As most viewers guessed, Christa was just held in Ymir's mouth, and it was impossible to hurt her or eat her.

And her purpose of capturing Ymir was only to persuade her to leave the city wall with her and go to the hometown of Reiner and others.

The two had a quarrel on the armored giant incarnated by Reiner. Whether it was Ymir, Bertolt, Krista, or Ellen, they were all taken away by the armored giant incarnated by Reiner. , and fled forward at full speed.

And behind the armored giant are all members of the Survey Corps, riding horses and chasing Reiner non-stop.

The speed of the two sides is about the same, Leiner can't get rid of the survey corps, and the survey corps can't catch up with Leiner.

"I feel that the endurance of this armored giant is a bit awesome! Is it stronger than a horse?"

"Cold knowledge, the horse's endurance is actually not high, and it will run out of strength after running at full speed for a long time, so why is the ancient post station a short distance away? The so-called urgent letters of 800 miles are actually sent every , the courier will change the horses at the station."

"That's right, and in terms of endurance in nature, humans are one of the best species. In terms of explosive speed, humans may not be as good as cheetahs, tigers, lions, etc., but in the ancient Stone Age, human tribes hunted large prey not by speed, but by It is endurance. Many prey are fast, but after running a few kilometers, they have no strength to run. However, humans can travel dozens of miles a day, so in fact, many prey are successfully hunted by human tribes because they are chased behind. The human beings are exhausted. Now do you think there is a problem with Reiner’s stamina being stronger than the horses? He has a giant physique and big steps. If the body structure is an enhanced version of humans, he should actually throw the horses away.”

"So outrageous?"

"Of course! So why is it said that the giant is a masterpiece? I feel that his drama directly integrates the survival essence of the survival of the fittest and the survival of the winner into the plot. When one day human wisdom faces the invincible giant When it comes to monsters, the essence of the relationship between species is to eat and be eaten."

"But it's useless to drag it on like this!"

"I don't know how the plot of the old thief is going to unfold? You see, the people of the investigation corps have started to play the emotional card. Bertolt is still mentally unstable and shaken."

"The old thief really has nothing to say about the portrayal of Reiner and Bertolt. Reiner has become insane because he killed too many innocent people, and Bertolt directly felt that he was fighting with depression. These two people, Really bad, but pathetic."

"I feel that these two people may not be evil in nature, but they have different positions."

"No matter how different the positions are, what kind of orders are given to them by the people behind them, turning into giants, destroying the city walls, and letting countless innocent people be eaten by giants, if such a thing can be done, these two people will not be punished."

"That's right, if the old thief cleans up these two people later, then this drama can be said to fall directly to the altar. It can give them a tragic death, but it is absolutely impossible to forgive them."

"It's definitely impossible for the old thief to engage in those disgusting plots. Forgive them? Allen agrees, and I, the audience, don't agree."

During the process of watching the drama, the audience also kept discussing among the fans.

In fact, the plot conjecture they discussed had a similar plot in the original giant manga.

For example, in the original comics, the male protagonist Allen made a suspicious statement before his death, and he personally manipulated the mother-eating giant in the past timeline to kill his mother. The characters of the supporting characters are also broken.

The most typical is that Armin and Ani finally got together.

Ani wiped out Levi's squad and killed an unknown number of members of the Survey Corps. Then, for the sake of world peace, Armin became a couple with this bloody enemy, and forgave Ani

Too messed up.

Poor Captain Levi and Captain Irwin, especially Captain Irwin, thinking of how Armin was saved by his only chance to survive, he really doesn't know how he should feel.

So why so many viewers complained about the ending of the original Giant? It’s just that there is a problem with the portrayal of the ending. The damned people didn’t die, and the undeserved people died. But the biggest problem with the ending of the comics is that the plot directly collapses the characters.

Words and deeds before and after, style and so on are completely inconsistent.

At the beginning, Allen made up his mind to expel the giant because of his mother's death, and finally the truth was revealed. His mother was killed by himself across time and space through the power of a giant. The roots and soil that support so many plot actions in the past.

Let the audience have a feeling of loneliness after watching it.

But at least before the plot of the giant watching the sea, that is, before the plot of the Marley chapter is involved, the work of the giant, from any angle, can be regarded as the word "magic".

Of course, the giants are not without problems.

For example, such things as human beings becoming giants can be set up, but how can a human being who weighs tens of kilograms suddenly become a giant weighing several tons, or even dozens of tons?

This is against the law of conservation of mass.

But this point is an unsolvable setting, and Jing Yu can't help it. It is really boring to discuss science in fantasy battle dramas, so he simply ignores it.

As for tonight's giant plot, from the moment Leiner escaped with the people, Almin's psychological offensive began to be performed.

Knowing that Bertolt likes Ani, he deliberately used Ani as a topic bait, and told the lie that Ani was arrested and tortured, so that the two would not run away and fight with himself and others.

The development of the plot is indeed as Almin expected. Reiner, Bertolt and others are forced by helplessness and form, and their hearts are also shaken.

Because of this, he lost his mind for a while, causing Allen to be rescued from his hands by the Survey Corps.

In the sixth episode of the second season of Attack on Titan, halfway through the broadcast, the audience's favorite fighting scene officially began.

The previous few episodes were all literary dramas, but they were overwhelmed.

After seeing the two people stop, almost all the audience sat upright.

Know that the heavy plot is coming.

Allen and the Survey Corps fought against the armored giant and the super giant for the second time.
