Chapter 157 Award Nomination (Second Update)

As we enter the end of the year, there are a lot of trivial matters.

"Ultraman", as the most popular drama of the year, finally ended its sinful life before the end of the year.

I won’t talk about it in China, it has been replayed over and over again. Over at Neon, TBS has also ended rebroadcasting, although the broadcast progress is very slow.

North America is slightly better. FOX's schedule is relatively tight. After the first broadcast, although it was broadcast a second time, it was in the late night slot.

Ultraman became a popular symbol.

No matter who you are, as long as you cross your hands and shout "Spethium," then we are half-brothers.

But if you make a weird sound like "oooooooh", then I'm sorry, people like you will be beaten in school.

The popularity of Ultraman has also made many people see business opportunities, and cooperation plans from all over the world are flying to Pengda like snowflakes.

Some are normal, some are just...

A custom store from Neon wants the clerk to wear Ultraman's leather suit to attract business.

A night market barbecue chef in a mountain city wants to change the name of his shop to "Baltan Star", specializing in spicy crayfish.

An old lady in the country wanted Pengda to make a "cat-like" Jetton doll for her because her deceased cat was named "Jedon".

Don’t worry, pounds aren’t an issue!

A Baibu star from Dubai called Pengda to book a first-class ticket to the Kingdom of Light because his son was going to the Kingdom of Light.

This is a mistake.

The Baibu star is usually very busy and has no time to care about what his son is doing. He thought the Kingdom of Light was a small country on Earth. Anyway, he would satisfy whatever his son wanted, including traveling abroad, which was a trivial matter.

In addition to these bizarre requests, a fanatical agent came to Pengda and claimed that he had sponsored many international superstars. As long as Pengda gave him the authorization, he could create an unprecedented "monster" star combination.

Let the monsters debut in the C position?

I have to say that the agent still has some ideas. It's just that the idea is too simple. Dancing in a leather suit is fine, but if it's a concert...

Will actors wearing leather suits die from exhaustion?

All kinds of weird applications not only made Ma Teng smile from ear to ear, but also opened the door to a new world for him.

Monster as a star?

His idea originated from the agent's enthusiastic proposal, but he didn't think about letting people dance and sing in leather suits.

The monsters themselves are very famous. They have many performances and activities, and they can be seen in stage plays, TV dramas, and major movies.

In this case, why not manage the monster image and make it into a star-like product?

When he told Mr. Meng his idea, he got an unexpected answer.

"Haven't we been doing this all the time? Have you forgotten the previous Ultraman Monster certification Weibo?"

Is there such a thing?

Ma Teng really forgot about it.

He checked online and found that indeed, as Mr. Meng said, the company had been operating the two brands "Monster" and "Ultraman" for a long time.

Weibo has certified Weibo accounts for each monster, as well as Ultraman’s account. The activity is quite high, with new updates every three or two days.

On Zhihu, Bermula, known as the "Wise Man of the Universe", has become an expert at answering questions.

The sea monster Gesla, who published "A Thousand Ways to Eat Cocoa Beans", subsequently published many books...

Although the methods are different, the results are the same, and the monster's reputation has been greatly improved!

It's just that fame is fame, how can it be turned into actual benefits?

When Ma Teng asked about his doubts, Meng Lang said with a smile: "You have said that you want to turn monsters into stars. Since everyone is moving closer to stars, isn't the way stars make money the same way monsters make money?"

How do celebrities make money?

Commercial speech? Endorsement?

When these two words came to mind, Ma Teng immediately thought of a funny scene.

Ultraman held up a box of pills and talked to the camera: "It's a bad guy's kidney treasure movie. If he's good, so am I!"

Jayden sat on the toilet, rubbing his stomach feebly. The narrator said: "Feeling sick in your stomach? Use diarrhea spirit!"

Or maybe the Baltan stood at the cashier, took the change and turned around to leave. The cashier girl shouted: "Handsome guy, your Yi Da!"

The Baltan star turned back and said: "No! That's your Yi Da!"

Wow! Orson!

Isn't this too cool? !

This is just an endorsement. If one day the monsters take over a commercial role and host a wedding for a wealthy businessman, wouldn't they scare the guests?

But having said that, if he really saw this kind of advertisement, Ma Teng felt that he could still accept it.

Just think of it as watching a sand sculpture video.

Even if you can accept earthy sand sculpture videos, why can’t you accept this kind of TV commercial?

Meng Lang thought it was normal.

Sun Wukong can even shoot a leather shoe commercial!

This is all the experience taught by Tsuburaya.

Tsuburaya was an expert, and the leather case was just sitting there in the warehouse, so he might as well use it to make some extra money.

Not to mention Tsuburaya, Aunt Azuma is also a habitual offender. Even Disney, which has always been aloof, has done this kind of thing.

Meng Lang had his own considerations.

As time goes by, Pengda will only have more and more leather case images. With so many holsters lying around, it would be a shame not to make good use of them.

The monster museum exhibition is one way, and letting the monster holsters endorse commercial performances is also another way. No matter what, it's better than leaving it ashes.

When talking about leather cases, Ma Teng suddenly remembered something and hurriedly reported: "By the way, Mr. Meng, I received a call yesterday. The Golden Bird Awards Organizing Committee wanted to rent Ultraman and Monster leather cases."

"What are they renting holsters for?"

"It seems to be used for the opening ceremony?"

"Promise them it's free."

As the most well-known "television" award in the country, the opening ceremony of the Golden Bird Awards had pretty good ratings. If Ultraman and monsters appeared on such an occasion, it would be a free advertisement for him.

Free advertising is not in vain.

Speaking of this, Meng Lang asked curiously: "When will the Golden Bird Awards ceremony begin?"

"In half a month."

Ma Teng hesitated and said: "In previous years, it was held at this time. I heard that the venue has been changed this year, but the time should not change."

"So have we received the invitation?"

"Received! There are two copies..."

Ma Teng said: "One invitation was sent to the crew of "Ultraman", and it seems to have been nominated for some awards. The other invitation was sent to Pengda Film and Television, as a representative of the film and television company to watch the ceremony."

Was "Ultraman" nominated?

People are filming in the Western Regions, and there is little information.

Only then did he find out that Ultraman had actually been nominated for the Golden Bird Award!

“What awards were you nominated for?”

"Mr. Meng, wait a minute, I'll check..."

Ma Teng wasn't very clear about it either. After a lot of effort, he found the shortlist from the organizing committee's official website, and then read it to Meng Lang on the other side of the phone.

"There are quite a lot of shortlisted awards, including five!" Ma Teng said with joy.

PS: Guess how many updates there are today?
