Chapter 180, Episode 30: A daily routine of crazy antics!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a week has quietly slipped away amidst the anticipation and reminiscence of countless viewers.
It's exactly eight o'clock.
As the rousing opening theme faded, the episode's title appeared on the black screen—"The Script of Invasion."
"An invasion scenario? Just the name evokes a sense of conspiracy and oppression." Old Tang stroked his chin.
The main feature begins.
Accompanied by extremely tense and suspenseful music, a dinosaur monster with a huge head and a ferocious face suddenly appears in the bustling city!
The building trembled beneath its feet, and people scattered in terror.
Old Tang sat bolt upright instantly: "Holy crap! A royal flush right from the start? This monster is huge, it's like Super GUTS!"
However, just when the audience's hearts were in their throats...
A loud shout suddenly came from off-screen:
"Card!"
The camera suddenly zooms out.
That terrifying giant dinosaur was just an actor in a suit.
The fleeing crowds and collapsed buildings around them were all miniature models and set pieces built by the special effects film crew!
Cameras, cranes, lighting equipment, and busy crew members all appeared in the shot.
Old Tang was stunned.
The chat in the live stream paused for a second, then exploded with messages:
【？？？？？】
[Holy crap! I've been tricked!]
[What the hell is this tokusatsu?! I took my pants off and this is what you show me?!]
[Gu Laozei, are you playing a game of nested dolls? Are you filming tokusatsu within a tokusatsu drama?]
[Hahaha! This start almost gave me a back injury!]
"Goodness, what a scare!" Old Tang chuckled and scolded, "Looks like this episode is leaning towards everyday comedy."
The scene shifts to the film crew's office.
A portly producer slammed a script titled "Earth Surrenders Unconditionally" onto the table.
He pointed at the screenwriter across from him (I won't change his name) and launched into a tirade: "What kind of garbage is this? Stop writing anything serious! These days, audiences just love nonsensical comedy. Get more plot twists and laughs out loud, you know?"
(Please remember 1110.com for the fastest chapter updates)
"But……"
Mikami looked helpless and tried to explain.
"There's no 'but' about it! If you don't write it, someone else will!"
The producer issued an ultimatum without any hesitation.
To make a living, screenwriter Mikami had no choice but to dejectedly take the script back and rethink it, like a wilted eggplant.
Seeing this, Lao Tang sighed with deep feeling: "Brothers, this scene is too real. This is the dilemma of creators in reality. The client's demands always come first, and in order to make a living, we often have to compromise with reality."
The bitter tears of working people.
[Producer: I want a vibrant, multicolored black!]
[Poor screenwriter Mikami! This is just like me, revising scripts until I'm bald!]
……
The story continues.
Screenwriter Mikami had just returned to his rented apartment when he heard a strange noise coming from next door.
He complained a few times, then picked up a glass of milk to drink.
With a loud "boom" and a violent tremor, the white paint liquid on the ceiling fell down and smeared all over Mikami's face.
Mikami finally lost his temper and stormed off to knock on the door next door demanding an explanation.
The door opened, and the person who opened it kept apologizing, but stood firmly in the doorway, preventing Mikami from entering.
The camera zoomed in on these people.
Old Tang suddenly slapped his thigh, pointed at the screen, and burst out laughing: "Holy crap! Aren't those three goofy aliens from episode 13 of 'Monsters Factory'?!"
The screen was instantly flooded with "hahaha" comments:
The Rockets are back!
[The blond guy, the big guy, and that red-haired fat guy! The Miki Alien trio!]
How did these three end up in such a miserable state, living in subsidized housing?
The narrator then introduced the names of the three Miki aliens.
That blonde guy with the transvestite look is named Mickey Kamachenko.
The muscular, blue-haired hunk is Miki Udchenko.
The leader, a red-haired man, was named Miki Dolchenko.
This red-haired guy is their leader!
Next, let's call him "Grandpa Lao" (牢大).
This dilapidated rental house turned out to be their new base for continuing their invasion of Earth.
But reality is harsh.
Dazhuang and the effeminate blond-haired man collapsed on the ground like salted fish, admitting that since they couldn't go back to their home planet anyway, they might as well just settle down and work hard on Earth.
The leader, Lao Da, remained stubborn, accusing the two of losing their fighting spirit and claiming that he had created a new mini robot, making it possible to defeat Dyna.
As soon as he pressed the start button, the mini Galan sparked an electric burst and was destroyed on the spot.
[Hahaha! This villain is so pitiful!]
[The most pathetic invader in history couldn't even make a decent figurine.]
[So poor they're still dreaming of invading Earth, I have to admire their spirit.]
Afterwards, the blond-haired man went out to throw away the trash. This residential area is quite diverse, with elderly men practicing Tai Chi and foreigners speaking fluent English.
Just then, screenwriter Mikami, frustrated at not being able to write a funny script, threw it into the trash can, where it was spotted by a blond-haired guy passing by.
The Miki aliens, who were struggling to afford an invasion, found this screenwriter like a treasure trove.
Mikami was still slurping instant noodles inside when he was startled by the three guys who suddenly barged in.
Listening to the three men praising his script, Mikami stood up with a wry smile: "The audience these days doesn't like this. As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny. Nonsensical comedy is what they want to see."
Upon hearing that everyone was facing financial difficulties, the Miki aliens immediately and earnestly requested Mikami to provide a "plan for invading Earth that could be completed without spending any money."
The prison warden then made grand promises: "If the plan succeeds, we will appoint you as a key staff officer in the military command!"
Mikami rolled his eyes, clearly not believing their nonsense at all. This cross-server chat was absolutely hilarious.
Just then, the landlord arrived menacingly to collect the rent. Mikami hadn't paid rent for six months and was on the verge of being evicted.
Faced with the unexpected situation, Lao Da seized the opportunity and took out his meager wallet to pay the rent for San Shang.
Huang Mao and Da Zhuang, standing to the side, were heartbroken and sobbing. There was no other way; you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
[This is hilarious! Aliens are paying Earthlings' rent!]
[Miki Alien Leader: I went to great lengths to invade Earth!]
These three people are hilarious.
To help Mikami write a better script, the alien Miki made him look through Galam's design drawings.
It turns out that after the battle in episode 13, Galaon wasn't completely destroyed, but was hidden in the nearby mountains. Its power system is intact and can be started as long as it's charged; the current problem is how to obtain a large amount of electricity.
Based on this, Mikami began to unleash his imagination and write "The Script of Invasion".
Before putting pen to paper, Mikami asked in bewilderment, "Who is that superhero? Galam looks like a villain."
These words almost broke Lao Da Zheng's composure. Fortunately, Huang Mao smoothed things over in time, telling Mikami to draw inspiration from reality and simply use Dyna and the Super GUTS team as the main characters.
And so, the story unfolds slowly beneath Mikami's keyboard.
According to the script, the Miki alien first projects Galan's 3D image into the air, grinning and mocking the Super GUTS team.
Enraged, Koda and his men opened fire.
As a result, Alpha and Gamma exploded instantly, and the only remaining Beta was trapped by the capture beam, which threatened TPC to provide power.
After reading the first draft of the script, Lao Da asked, puzzled, "What's a capture laser? We don't have that technology. You need to write down the weapon's structure too!"
Mikami scratched himself in distress until late into the night.
The Mickey trio revealed their true forms, fast asleep, dreaming of conquering the Earth.
Meanwhile, the screenwriter next door is working himself to the bone, pulling all-nighters.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and revised the script: Galaon exhaled laughing gas, causing Koda and the others to laugh wildly as they were caught in the mechanical arm.
In the critical moment, Dyna appeared, but under the threat of hostages, the Giant of Light finally fell!
The next morning, when Prisoner read this part, he was so moved that he shed tears, exclaiming that it was perfect! He could finally take revenge on Dyna!
Just then, the rising sun shone through the window, and Lao Da spread his arms wide: "How beautiful this is! This planet will soon be ours!"
"But... what happened next?" Da Zhuang asked curiously.
Having stayed up all night, Mikami, sporting dark circles under his eyes, said, "I wrote it in two parts, the latter being how TPC retaliates. I'll get extra money for finishing the latter part."
The aliens weren't willing to pay money to suffer, so they immediately decided not to write it. The rules of victory had been decided!
Lao Da proposed to take action at 1 p.m., but the weather forecast predicted rain in the afternoon. Therefore, the operation time was changed to 11 a.m.
This weather forecast is definitely foreshadowing something!
[Not writing a sequel? Then you'll only get the enjoyable experience of the first half?]
[Screenwriter Mikami: I'm not writing anymore if you don't pay me. Alien: Fine, I won't write then!]
Everything is ready.
The prison warns the screenwriter not to go to the nearby mountains.
Exhausted, Mikami had no desire to go to the mountains; all he wanted to do was sleep.
He yawned, casually shook the sheets, and prepared to crawl into bed.
"what!"
You won't believe it until you shake it, and then you'll be shocked!
This shake sent all the dust and lint from the sheets right in front of the trio.
This is going to be very serious.
Lao Da couldn't help but sneeze.
The bright red alien coin head has been revealed to be its true form!
This gave Mikami a real fright!
However, with the cover of Huang Mao and Da Zhuang, Lao Da successfully retreated!
To confirm that what he had just seen was not a hallucination, Mikami quietly crept to the door of the next room and, through the crack in the door, was shocked to see the three aliens, Miki, revealing their alien forms!
Mikami finally came to his senses and realized he had made a terrible mistake!
[Best of the Match: Mikami's bed sheet!]
[Mikami: I just casually wrote a script, and the client turns out to be a real alien?!]
[One person dared to fabricate it, and three people actually believed it!]
The combination of suspense and humor is absolutely brilliant.
The perspective shifts to TPC headquarters.
Mai received an anonymous call; the sender only stated the time of the invasion before abruptly hanging up.
Since nothing major had happened recently, everyone assumed it was a prank.
But the truth is that Mikami chickened out. He was afraid that if he told the truth, he would be killed by the aliens, so he only dared to report it to the police anonymously.
A moment later, the time was up.
Galawong’s giant projection appeared in the sky above the city right on time!
Recognizing their old rivals at a glance, the Super GUTS team instantly went into battle mode. Captain Gosuke Hibi gave the order, and the fighter jets launched!
The battle began, and everything seemed to be proceeding according to the script of "Invasion".
The instigator, Mikami, panicked and knelt on the ground, frantically praying to God.
Perhaps the prayers worked.
A second before the fighter jet opened fire, Asuka keenly sensed that something was wrong.
The projector started shaking!
"Wait! This Galam doesn't have any substantial quality feedback; it's a fake!"
The bird shouted.
Upon receiving the information, Zhongdao quickly initiated reverse tracking and instantly pinpointed the actual location of the Miki aliens.
With the fighter jet unleashing its first shot, the real battle began!
The Miki aliens suffered a major defeat in their operation!
Just at this moment of despair, the clear sky suddenly became overcast with dark clouds.
Just as the weather forecast predicted, it rained!
In despair, the three began to imitate Mikami, praying to God for protection. The giant robot Galam also raised its mechanical arm in a prayerful gesture.
This is like a giant lightning rod!
Everything was such a coincidence!
"Boom!"
A thick bolt of lightning struck Galaon precisely, instantly replenishing the robot's battery!
Although the process did not proceed as scripted, the acquisition of a large amount of electrical energy was unexpectedly achieved!
The excited Miki aliens immediately launched an attack.
Faced with the menacing giant space robot, Asuka pulled out her flash sword from her fighter jet.
"Don't get too cocky!"
A flash of bright light, and Ultraman Dyna appears!
"Hehehe, that's exactly what I've been waiting for, Ultraman Dyna! Attack!"
Lao Da was laughing wildly in the cockpit.
After a battle, Dyna, who had just entered the fray, was unfamiliar with the enemy's tactics and was actually bombarded by the enemy, being forced to retreat repeatedly.
Seeing the plot unfold exactly as in the script, the Mickey alien was extremely excited.
"Power up the engine! Get ready to charge at Dyna and deliver the final blow!"
however……
Just as Galan was halfway there, it suddenly froze, and the light in its mechanical eyes went out.
"What...what happened?"
The prisoner was completely dumbfounded.
"Ah! The power's out!" the blond-haired man screamed in despair.
"Mamma mia!"
Finally, facing Galan, who had completely shut down due to power failure, Dyna didn't even bother to move, and simply raised his hand to unleash an instant Solgent Ray.
"boom!"
The powerless Galaon was blown up on the spot.
[Hahahaha! What the hell, the power's dead!]
[Galawon: I stood up! I'm exhausted... I can't even last 3 minutes!]
This villain is hilarious! He charges for five minutes, but only gets a two-second call!
[Dyna: I haven't even exerted any effort yet, how come you're out of power?]
This is what happens when a screenwriter doesn't write a sequel—the satisfaction lasts less than three seconds!
Oh my god, why didn't you say so earlier!
The scene shifts again.
"Aliens use screenwriters to invade Earth... You actually came up with such a nonsensical story, Mikami, not bad."
It was the same producer, but this time he had a big smile on his face.
"After all... it's all true."
Mikami Inui said with a smile.
"Oh, and those three extras who came to work as aliens, they acted really well, absolutely brilliant!"
The producer praised it.
The camera zooms out and we're on the film set.
The three aliens, dressed in costumes, were watching the sunset in the distance.
"What beautiful light...it really is sparkling..."
"I can't believe it," Lao Da sighed.
"Ah~ I want it so badly, I have to have this planet no matter what!"
"CUT!"
The three actors, having finished filming this scene, are listening to the director's feedback.
The director praised the three actors' performances highly: "You acted so well, just like those silly aliens!"
Just then, an autumn gust of wind swept by, and the three of them shivered from the cold, unable to hold back any longer.
"Achoo!!"
"Aaaaaah! Aliens!"
……
"call--"
Old Tang let out a long sigh of relief in the live stream, a bright smile spreading across his face. "Brothers, it's time for another classic, hilarious episode! This one was so enjoyable to watch!"
The comments section was also filled with laughter:
This episode was hilarious; I laughed from beginning to end.
The Miki Alien trio are definitely the comedic relief in Dyna.
This episode really cracked me up!
Old Tang's smile faded, and he began his in-depth analysis.
"Guys, this episode isn't just funny, it's actually very profound!" Old Tang said, banging on the table. "Let me break down the three layers of 'realism' in this episode!"
"First, the very first layer, is the stark realism!"
Old Tang pointed to a screenshot of screenwriter Mikami on the screen, "At the beginning, Mikami is being scolded by the producer, who forces him to write a nonsensical script. Isn't this just like the 'demands from the client' in real life? To eat, to pay rent, we all have our own stubbornness, but we often have to compromise with reality. This kind of hardship of working people is so real!"
"The second layer is a harmonious sense of reality!"
Old Tang continued his analysis, "The community where Sanshang lives has Chinese people practicing Tai Chi, foreigners spouting profanities, and even three aliens living next door! This kind of diverse community, full of hidden talents, is like Pigsty Alley in Stephen Chow's movie 'Kung Fu Hustle'! Everyone coexists harmoniously and embraces different cultures; it's a real place full of everyday life!"
The comments section erupted in agreement:
Yes, yes, that community looks so lively and full of life.
Even aliens have to pay rent; that's so relatable.
"And the third level, which is the most awesome level!"
Old Tang's voice rose, "It's an illusory reality! It's what they call breaking down the dimensional barrier!"
"At the end of the story, in order to make a living, the three members of the Miki Star group actually chose to become extras, and the role they played was in Mikami's 'The Invasion Script'! The director praised them for acting like real aliens, and Mikami said to us outside the screen, 'This is all real.'"
"At that moment, we felt a sense of unreal reality! This technique is seen in 'The Truman Show' and 'Deadpool,' and Gu Laoze has mastered this postmodern absurd culture to perfection!"
Finally, Lao Tang gave a summary.
"Overall, even in its everyday comedic scenes, Gu Nan doesn't stray from the central theme of 'Dyna'—moving towards the future!"
"Where does this manifest in practice? It's the Mickey trio! Since invading Earth is out of the question, and they can't even afford the electricity bill, they might as well look forward and settle down to work and live a stable life on this blue planet."
"After all, the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, and the golden sunlight on the horizon will still shine upon them. With such a beautiful sight, what more could they ask for?"
This episode, filled with crazy antics, brought laughter to the audience while also leaving a warm aftertaste.
