Chapter 35: The Language of Hometown is the Forbidden Language
Beijing.
A slightly plump middle-aged man was leaning back in an armchair, attracted by a viral picture on Weibo.
It was an image that had never been seen before. According to the description in the copy, it was called the Mefilas alien. He had a fat head and big ears, and looked like a pot-bellied capitalist or white trash.
The middle-aged man was attracted by the text and clicked on the full text to read it carefully, and unexpectedly discovered a treasure.
What he saw was an art design blogger's analysis of the Mefilas designed by Shen Ming. In the man's opinion, it was quite good.
The blogger said that the Mefilas people talk about ideology but are actually business-minded. They rely on high-sounding rhetoric but are actually planning to maximize their own interests. They are like the big capitalists on Wall Street who say "I don't care about money" and the politicians who are in high positions in government and buy people's hearts with verbal promises.
In everyone's opinion, the existence of the entire Mefilas people is actually Director Shen's accusation against some upper-class capitalists who are only good at talking, and it is also the voice of all working people.
But the middle-aged man felt that this director named Shen Ming must have a deeper purpose hidden in this.
For example, the title of this episode clearly refers to a banned language, but there is no mention of language at all from beginning to end? !
And this curiosity was finally answered after watching the entire episode.
“It turns out that the language of my hometown is a banned language.”
The middle-aged man leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Once the child named Hoshino truly signs the contract to sell out the Earth with the Mefilas, he will lose the language of his homeland forever and become a rootless duckweed.
In reality, if we regard the Mephilas and Earth as two countries, then what the Mephilas did is not cultural invasion? !
It is silent and invisible, yet omnipresent, just like the eternal wealth and life promised by the Mefilas, emitting deadly magic at all times.
The man suddenly wanted to meet the director.
He must be a rare genius that only appears once in a century!!
Most people in today's society have their thinking fragmented by short videos. They are always led by public opinion and become the leeks of traffic and quick money, but they cannot live awake.
And the director of this drama is simply an outlier!!
Not only does he have clear logical thinking, he can even tell stories in an easy-to-understand way. Both children and adults can quickly understand and accept them. He is definitely the most suitable person for the job in his hands!
However, this "Ultraman" was broadcast on Star TV in Binhai City. Binhai City is far in the south, and he doesn't have many connections, so he has to ask someone first.
Thinking of this, he dialed a phone number and after a few pleasantries, the man got down to business.
"Old Han, do you have the contact information of the director of the new cartoon called Ultraman that was released by your local TV station in Binhai City? I just saw it online and I'm quite interested."
On the other end of the phone, early in the morning, Director Han had heard the names of Ultraman and Shen Ming no less than a dozen times, and his head was buzzing with anger.
What's so good about that crappy cartoon?
Monsters and giants are fighting each other, and I don’t know which stupid kids like it.
Director Han didn't want to waste his breath at this moment, so he just perfunctorily said, "Well, I've heard of it, but I'm not very interested. Old Sun, you also know that we focus on adult TV series. What kind of big market can there be for children?"
The middle-aged man called Lao Sun found out Director Han’s attitude and stopped asking questions. He just said a few words and hung up the phone.
But he did not quite agree with what Director Han said.
If it was just a cartoon for children, it would indeed not be worth paying attention to, but Shen Ming is different!
His script gave Lao Sun a glimmer of hope.
Although it is small, it is already precious! !
At the same time, Shen Ming's crew has been busy with the next round of filming. Recently, Shen Ming has been so busy that he can't stop filming Ultraman. At the same time, he has to prepare for the second part. There are many scripts that he likes, such as Zoffy, Seven, and the new Ultraman of the Heisei Three. He has even considered whether to create a new world view of Kamen Rider at the same time.
Joanna has been visiting the crew more frequently recently.
Although Shen Ming basically doesn't communicate with her except for work matters recently.
It can be said that he is completely immersed in his own world.
But Joanna just liked the way he was focused.
Today, when she was about to hide in the corner and watch Shen Ming in front of the camera as usual, her attention was suddenly attracted by a strange-looking monster.
It really wasn’t that she wasn’t concentrating, but the monster did look weird.
It is gray and white in color, and looks like a skeleton, a living ghost.
But it doesn't look scary, it even looks a little cute.
Not knowing what the plot of this episode was, Joanna’s curiosity was immediately piqued.
She just saw that several leather suits that had been put away in the prop area were moved out, and she was immediately looking forward to the big production of this episode even more.
But Joanna also knew Shen Ming's principle of keeping the plot secret, so she could only suppress her curiosity and wait until Saturday afternoon to open the live broadcast room as soon as possible.
Joanna's roommates also came over to watch when they saw this. Under Joanna's strong recommendation, they are now all loyal fans of Ultraman.
"Monster Cemetery? The name of this episode sounds a bit eerie. Isn't it another horror-themed one?" A girl clung to the sleeve of the person next to her in fear, but her eyes were fixed on the screen.
Joanna was bold and boasted proudly: "It's okay! I'll protect you!"
Joanna was unconvinced and said to the girl in the berth: "Huh, Anna, you are obviously the youngest, I should protect you if you need protection, just call me sister and let me hear it."
Amid the girls' laughter, the 35th episode of Ultraman "Monster Cemetery" was officially aired.
At the beginning of the story, Team Kot is patrolling the universe as usual.
The universe is vast and quiet, and everything is peaceful.
However, in such a starry sky, Team Kurt discovered the monsters that had been defeated by Ultraman before.
The Kemler aliens were killed by the bazooka of Yinchu's team.
The monster Antonla was killed by Captain Zhou Song using the bluestone of the god Noah.
Nelonga is a monster that was awakened by human activities and eventually destroyed by Ultraman.
There were so many monsters flashing by that the audience didn’t even have time to recognize them all.
In front of the computer screen, one of Joanna's roommates sighed with regret: "More than 30 episodes, more than 30 monsters, there are so many. But I never thought about what would happen after they were defeated. I always thought they were scary before, but now seeing them drifting alone in the universe, I feel sorry for them."
Another girl also felt sorry. "From this perspective, there is actually no difference between monsters and humans. Even their fate after death is very miserable. They can't even be buried in their hometowns. They can only wander alone like this forever."
Joanna slowly lowered her eyes after hearing this.
Influenced by traditional concepts, Chinese people always believe in returning to their roots and their hometowns.
But among those defeated monsters, aren’t there many that are native to Earth?
The Earth is also their homeland.
