Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.
Chapter 53 Fair Pricing, Father and Son Warriors
When he received a call from Yang Qian herself, inviting him and his son Ma Qingshan to play the main roles in "Armor Hero Nawa".
Ma Tian was initially reluctant.
He's a toy factory owner in the physical manufacturing industry, and he's spent half his life dealing with machines and orders.
Why would they suddenly send him to film a tokusatsu drama?
That's a huge leap!
His instinct was to refuse, but he felt he wasn't cut out for it and couldn't bring himself to do it.
But he couldn't resist having a son who was a fanatical fan of the Land of Light.
Upon hearing the news, Ma Qingshan was so excited he almost took off.
He immediately grabbed his father's arm and shook it violently.
"Dad! Dad! What are you waiting for?! This is Armor Hero!"
"A brand new tokusatsu series planned by Teacher A-Guang! It's of extraordinary significance!"
"Just think about it, if we could act in it, even just a cameo, what a great opportunity that would be for our Tianma Toys Factory!"
"This is far more effective than spending millions on traditional advertising! It will definitely elevate our factory's brand awareness and image to a whole new level!"
These words really struck a chord with Ma Tian.
After becoming the official designated manufacturer of merchandise for the Land of Light, Tianma Toy Factory has long since escaped the brink of bankruptcy, a true resurrection.
Now it's thriving even more.
Currently, the production lines in the factory are running almost 24 hours a day, with workers working in three shifts, and the machines are constantly roaring.
Of course, Ma Tian did not hesitate to pay overtime and bonuses as required, strictly following the standards advocated by Yang Qian.
The workers were full of energy and wished every day could be like this.
Even the food standards in the factory canteen have been raised several levels, with meat at every meal and a wide variety of dishes.
The workers' faces were much more smiling now.
Not long ago, Yang Qian sent several new design drawings and production requirements to Tianma Toys Factory.
These are the β Magic Wand used by Hayata in "Ultraman" to transform, the figure of Unit-01 from "EVA", and the SPD license symbolizing identity and duty from "Dekaranger".
As for the pricing, it still retains the characteristics of the Land of Light.
The β Magic Wand and SP license are priced at 19.9 yuan.
The β Magic Wand also has a hidden Easter egg that wasn't mentioned on the product details page.
Every buyer who purchases the Beta Magic Wand will be surprised to find a stainless steel spoon lying quietly inside the box when they open the package.
When the first batch of fans who received their orders discovered this free gift...
"Brothers! Look what I found! The Ultra Spoon!!"
"Holy crap! Isn't this the spoon that appeared in the original Ultraman series? They even gave this away with the Beta Magic Wand?"
"666, could the manufacturer have sent the wrong item? OP, try it out, see if you can successfully transform while holding this spoon! (doge)"
"It was in my package too! It seems it wasn't a coincidence!"
"You can tell at a glance that this is Ah-Guang's doing. He just loves playing with these kinds of funny jokes; he really knows his stuff!"
……
The netizens' guesses were completely correct.
This was indeed designed by Yang Qian herself.
Ma Tian also expressed his doubts about this, and specifically called Yang Qian to ask why she would go to the trouble of adding a spoon to increase costs.
Miriam Yeung replied over the phone, "Because I think it's a lot of fun."
Ma Tian: "???"
He held the phone, speechless for a long time.
A sense of powerlessness, a feeling of being out of touch with the thinking of young people, welled up inside me once again.
He could never keep up with Director Yang's train of thought.
Of course, among these new merchandise items, the one that sold the best and generated the most discussion was the Evangelion Unit-01 figure.
This is the first posable model figure produced by the Land of Light.
It received a lot of attention from fans and even passersby during the publicity and promotion stage.
"The Land of Light has finally decided to release figures! I've been waiting for so long!"
"Waaaaah, Guangda, please release Asuka and Rei Ayanami figures! I'll buy them no matter the price! (Begging)"
"Figures are complicated to make and have high costs, so the price should go up this time, right? It should cost at least a few hundred dollars."
"666, is the Land of Light finally going to start harvesting its韭菜 (a metaphor for exploiting people)?"
As we all know, official merchandise such as figurines is indeed much more complex and detailed in its production than ordinary toys.
The requirements for mold making, painting, and quality control are extremely high.
Correspondingly, the cost and market price are usually not cheap.
Even editor Da Mi felt a pang of bittersweet emotion when she received news that Yang Qian was preparing to price the figurine.
Is Everbright finally going to abandon its 19.9 and 29.9 pricing strategy?
Indeed, figurines are the true test of love.
The price of official Zhou dynasty items should be higher; otherwise, how can their scarcity and collectible value be reflected?
He cautiously inquired on WeChat.
"Everbright, I heard they're planning to adjust the prices of their figurines?"
"Yes, the production difficulty and material cost of this Unit-01 figure are relatively high, so we are preparing to raise the price appropriately."
Da Mi was secretly delighted and quickly pressed for more information.
"So, what was the final price you set, Everbright?"
He was already calculating in his mind that no matter how conscientious he was, a figure of this quality should cost at least over a hundred yuan, right?
More than one hundred?
Even two hundred?
However, the number Yang Qian sent the next second made the smile on his face freeze instantly.
"39.9 yuan."
Rice: "..."
He stared at the familiar combination of numbers on the screen, his fingers trembling, unable to type a single word for a long time.
He had seen the actual prototype of the figure.
Standing at 18 centimeters tall, it boasts rich details, exquisite paintwork, articulated joints, and extremely high fidelity to the original design.
But 39.9? ??
Fine……
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his complicated emotions.
At least...
It's at least 10 yuan more than 29.9 yuan, so it's an improvement.
He resignedly replied, "Understood, Guangda."
Surprisingly, this time it was Yang Qian who took the initiative to ask the question.
"Aren't you going to ask why they set this price?"
At this moment, Da Mi's mood was completely numb, and his words revealed a melancholy that came from having seen through the world.
"Everlasting, is this really necessary...?"
Rice: I'm used to it, really, I'm used to it.
"hiss……"
This time, it was Yang Qian's turn to gasp in surprise.
Goodness, right now rice is in a state of complete surrender, having given up all struggle and chosen to lie down and accept it?
When the price of the Unit-01 figure was officially announced at 39.9 yuan, all the figure enthusiasts and even the entire anime community were completely blown away!
"Holy crap?! How much? 39.9??"
"Holy crap! This price?! A prize figure I own costs eighty or ninety, even over a hundred, and the quality and workmanship might not even be as good as this Evangelion Unit-01!"
"I'm speechless, Guangda is awesome! Just for this price, I'm definitely buying this figure!"
"Order placed! I might hesitate at 89.9, but 39.9? I'll have to try it out!"
"Guangda! Can't you release some more expensive merchandise that I can show off a bit? At this price, it's hard for me to brag about it to people in the community! (laughing and crying)"
"A rich guy has made a statement!"
"Rich guy, check out the Vivo 50's capabilities!"
……
Miriam Yeung: "Expensive merchandise?"
Yes, I have.
He turned to look out the window at the parking lot below.
Several cars co-branded with Wuling and the Land of Light were parked there.
The top-of-the-line model costs nearly 100,000 yuan after all the fees. Isn't that expensive enough?
"Director Yang, the first batch of cars co-branded by Wuling and the Land of Light will be officially delivered tomorrow. This is the schedule for tomorrow."
Su Xiaoran handed over the tablet.
"understood."
