Chapter 611 TPC and GUTS
The script is finished!
After Meng Lang's unremitting efforts and working continuously for more than 90 days, he finally completed the script setting of "Ultraman Tiga" before Children's Day.
It’s not easy!
Although he clearly remembers the plot and characters of Tiga, the staffing and equipment of the victory team, including the monster aliens that appear in each episode. But this can only be regarded as a general framework, and he still has to rack his brains to recall the more detailed settings.
Such as TPC!
Everyone remembers this organization, but who knows the full name of TPC? What is the Chinese translation of the name? What's the background?
And the winning team!
As the Chinese translation, Meng Lang has long been accustomed to being called the Victory Team. I almost forgot the name of this team, it's actually "GUTS".
The full name of TPC is Terrestrial Peaceable Consortium, which is translated as Earth Peace United Organization.
The predecessor of this organization is the famous "Earth Defense Force". It is a transnational all-weather peace defense organization jointly established by the United Nations Chief of Staff Sawai to promote cooperation among countries around the world.
I almost forgot, this is a parallel world.
The Earth of this world is different from the main universe of M78. Humanity has developed from ancient times to the end of the 20th century and has never experienced a period of active monsters.
Kind of like the real world?
In fact, it's almost the same. The only difference between this world and the real world is probably TPC and various advanced technologies.
Other than that, there is no difference.
The TPC is not like the United Nations, which has only name but no real power. In Meng Lang's understanding, the TPC is more like a more idealized "community with a shared future for mankind" in Didai's world, with a status higher than that of national governments.
So, here comes the problem!
What is the personnel structure of this huge organization?
The original work is rather messy...
The audience can only vaguely learn about the police bureau, staff department, medical bureau, scientific research bureau, GUTS and other departments under TPC from the plot.
Meng Lang sorted it out.
He set up the infrastructure for the TPC organization with reference to national functional departments in the real world.
The head is still the director, followed by five deputy directors. These five deputy directors each manage 1-2 important departments.
Under the five deputy directors, there are ministers and deputy ministers of various departments. They are the Department of Defense, the Department of Supervision, the Department of Scientific Research, the Medical Department, the Department of Information and Intelligence, the Extraterrestrial Exploration Department, GUTS and major branches around the world.
Under each competent department are more specific branches, such as the major space stations, lunar bases, etc. under the Extraterrestrial Exploration Department.
Someone may ask? Where is the staff officer?
Those militants, the staff who always like to study weapons and create trouble for Ultraman, why are they missing?
In fact, the staff are still there.
However, this position was included in the Ministry of Defense by Meng Lang. Just like Dr. xx in the Scientific Research Department, the Ministry of Defense also has a staff officer.
Meng Lang mainly sorted out the organizational structure of TPC and did not change the settings. The only change is probably the addition of "five deputy directors".
The reason why there are five people...
And in the setting, these five deputy directors are from China, the United States, Russia, Britain and France. The specific reasons must be known to everyone.
This is like the United Nations!
For the position of Secretary-General (Election), the Five Permanent Members will not participate in the competition. But who dares to compete with the five permanent members for the position of deputy secretary-general (hereditary)?
The principle is the same.
Without the support of the five permanent members, the TPC would not be able to carry out its activities smoothly, let alone have such great autonomy.
The five deputy directors come from different WPC countries and are in charge of important departments of TPC. This is actually a more reasonable and normal setting.
It would be weird without this setting.
Of course, TPC can have foreign top management, but Victory Team (GUTS) does not have to.
After all, in the setting, there are corresponding teams all over the world. It's just that the other divisions are relatively unlucky. There is no one named Dagu among the team members, so they can only unfortunately serve as background.
Therefore, there are no foreigners on the winning team.
Captain Gao Shuhui is named after the original Hui Jian and actor Gao Shuling. A smart, gentle and intellectual single mother with short hair.
Zongfang, the deputy captain, serves as the combat commander, so he is called the commander by the team members. He does not smoke or drink, and has a crush on the captain.
Team member Horii is a highly intelligent scientist from the scientific research department and a weapons technology expert in the team. He has a chubby round face, is reliable in his work but very funny in his words.
Xincheng team member, whose real name is Shi Xincheng, often makes jokes with Horii and adjusts the atmosphere in the team. There is a beautiful sister named Shiqiao Hui.
Team member Ye Rui is an 18-year-old computer genius. He likes everything related to computers and longs to fight on the front lines but has to stay at the base.
The above five people, plus Yuan Dagu and Yang Lina, form a new seven-member GUTS victory team.
The characters of Dagu and Lina have not changed.
The good old guy Da Gu suffered the disadvantage of being uneducated and only managed to join the victory team through the back door. Lina is still an ace pilot, has a dolphin boyfriend who "works" in an aquarium, and has a very bad relationship with her father.
In addition to TPC executives and members of the Victory Team, there are also some supporting characters who don't have many roles but are quite outstanding.
For example, Mayumi, Masaki Keigo, Captain Hayate, Staff Officer Minamihara, Dr. Tango and Dr. Yao, etc.
Of course, You Lian is one of them!
However, You Lian's appearance is consistent with that of the captain, so one person can play both roles without having to find another actor.
After splitting the script, Meng Lang created vivid and three-dimensional characters one by one and got into a busy state...
While it's still early.
He must finalize the actors for the above roles as soon as possible and coordinate the schedule to strive for an early start.
This process went quite smoothly!
Although many people despise Ultraman and think that the series has gone downhill. But it is undeniable that this show has a strong appeal to actors.
It is a drama that is 100% popular. No one can resist this temptation except the hermit who is completely indifferent to fame and fortune.
The pay is slightly lower? It doesn't matter!
Such a high-quality project is a piece of pie-in-the-sky good news for young actors who are eager to become famous. Isn't it a mere salary?
Take a long-term view!
Wouldn't it be better to hold Mr. Meng's thigh tightly and enjoy the hot and spicy drinks together? I have to worry about the remuneration, it’s not worth it!
For this reason, nine out of ten actors who received Meng Lang's call readily agreed. The remaining people also agreed to star in the work after careful consideration.
Only Lina is still undecided!
Adhering to the idea that wealth should not go to outsiders, Meng Lang wanted to leave the heroine Lina to her adult husband... Oh no, Miracle Girl will play the role.
But now the problem is!
There are three people in Miracle Girls. In the past, when they took on roles, all three of them acted together, and no one was left behind.
However, Lina could only choose one.
Each of them was outstanding. Apart from being stupid, Meng Lang couldn't find any obvious shortcomings. No matter who you choose, you will hurt the other two.
How can this be done?
You can't draw lots, right?
