Depressive Screenwriter

"Your Lie in April"'s viewership rate reached 4.67%, setting a new record high.

However, the media was very restrained at this time.

Theoretically speaking, if "April" had been broadcast on any of the three major television stations, it would probably have been the top-rated show of the season long ago.

But it was broadcast on Qingkong Television.

Online, "April"'s fans had even stronger cohesion and combat power, and the number of trending search terms this season was also higher for "April".

But could Qingkong Television really reach this limit with a 4.67% viewership rate?

Or could Su Yan really convince the audience in Xia and allow Qingkong Television to achieve such results?

No one was sure.

Sunday, 8 PM.

The tenth episode of "The Simplest Love" premiered first.

But obviously, the situation had changed.

After "The Simplest Love" finished broadcasting, viewers online began excitedly discussing the possible plot of the tenth episode of "April".

Everyone knew that "April" was ending next week.

And in this drama, Kaori Miyazono's illness and her life or death were still a mystery.

How would the old fox Su Yan handle this plot?

Would he create a depressing ending as before, or would he create the first happy ending drama of his life for the sake of the company's development and to gain the support of fans for his next work?

The suspense was left to the end, to the time slot when the tenth episode of "April" aired at 9 PM.

Wen Zhen put down her laptop and stopped her online flame war with "Summer Flowers" fans.

She could watch other dramas while multitasking and chatting online.

But she didn't want to do that with "April".

The tenth episode started with an opening barrage.

Kaori Miyazono's parents gathered at the hospital, and the doctor gave them a serious notification.

Kaori Miyazono's condition was very serious.

But surgery could solve the problem once and for all.

Success meant life!

Failure meant death!

Wen Zhen took a deep breath.

The old fox Su Yan, as expected of you, you want to keep this suspense until the last episode!

Kaori Miyazono in the hospital was working hard on rehabilitation exercises, making final preparations for her body before the surgery.

She wanted to play the violin again.

She walked laboriously with crutches in the hospital.

[In April, I met a boy who was crying and discouraged, struggling in a very unseemly way. But once he was on stage, he shone like a star... His life was like a beautifully played melody.]

[I made a promise with him.]

Kaori Miyazono looked up at the doctor in front of her.

[One more time, a duet.]

Wen Zhen's heart ached, and she began to tear up.

She was clearly so afraid of surgery.

If she didn't have surgery, even if she waited for the disease to slowly invade her body, from partial movement to complete immobility, and then to eventual death, she would still have a few years to live.

But in order to stand on stage with Kousei Arima again.

She wanted to take a gamble.

[I want to struggle, struggle, and struggle again, desperately struggling to the end. This is my life.]

The audience watching here had actually forgotten their complaints about Su Yan.

It was meaningless to blame Su Yan for arranging such a fate for Kaori Miyazono at this point.

Instead, the strength shown by Kaori Miyazono in this desperate situation made the character even more radiant in the eyes of the audience.

"Teacher Su Yan, you should still have the last bit of human kindness, right..."

Wen Zhen muttered in her heart.

Preparing for the music competition, to realize Kaori Miyazono's wish, to make Kousei Arima continue to shine in the music world.

Kousei Arima practiced the piano tirelessly day and night.

The middle of this episode featured Kousei Arima's two rivals, Takeshi Aiza and Emi Igawa, competing with him again in the preliminary round of a music competition.

The usual excellent musical performance plot.

Takeshi Aiza's admiration for Kousei Arima and his desire to win were all in his music.

After the wonderful musical performance.

"Your Lie in April"'s viewership rate attracted a bunch of passersby again because of this wave of plot.

Tsubaki Sawabe completely let go of her love for Kousei Arima.

Kousei Arima untied the knot in his heart about Kaori Miyazono liking his friend Ryota Watari.

[I, really like Kaori Miyazono.] He said to his friend without hesitation.

[Idiot. I know.] Ryota Watari just said with a gentle smile in response.

Wen Zhen felt a warmth in her heart when she saw this.

But the next scene.

The two who came to the hospital to visit Kaori Miyazono saw Kaori Miyazono being carried out of the ward by medical staff and sent to the emergency room unconscious.

Wen Zhen's heart sank instantly.

An unspeakable sense of oppression spread in her chest.

Hey... don't do this!

But the following plot made her even more sad.

The black cat that appeared in the first episode of the drama was crushed by a vehicle on Kousei Arima's way home.

Kousei Arima ran wildly to the hospital holding the black cat's body.

But the doctor gave the black cat a death notice.

The end of the episode was cut off with a scene of Kousei Arima burying the black cat and then crying loudly in the park.

Because he had just received news from the hospital.

Kaori Miyazono was rescued.

The ED song started.

Wen Zhen felt a little flustered inside.

"Old fox Su Yan, what are you doing? What does the metaphor of that black cat represent? Does its death mean that Kaori Miyazono will also die in the future? Or..."

"Is this just your smokescreen? Is this a plot designed deliberately to mislead us into thinking that way?"

Wen Zhen swallowed, but found her throat very dry.

She wanted to say something, but couldn't think of any words.

Until now, this drama still had suspense.

Kaori Miyazono's life and death were still controlled by the screenwriter.

"Damn old fox Su Yan.

You better be merciful to me."

Wen Zhen shouted loudly at the camera showing Kousei Arima, played by Su Yan, on the TV.

The ED song ended.

The preview screen for the eleventh episode appeared.

In the snowy season of winter, Kaori Miyazono fell to the ground, grabbed Kousei Arima's hem, her face full of tears.

[I'm so scared, I'm so scared!]

[Don't leave me alone!]

The less than ten-second shot made Wen Zhen's heart feel a little pain.

Kaori Miyazono cried in front of Kousei Arima for the first time.

"I will never leave you alone. Next week. The final episode of April, I, and the April fans of Xia, will be watching you! Drive away the disease for me, and then stand up properly."

Wen Zhen clenched her palm.

At this time, she was completely immersed in it.

After the episode ended, she couldn't sleep as usual and opened the "Your Lie in April" comment section of Raccoon Net.

But she found that the entire comment section had exploded.

Upon closer inspection, she found that Su Yan's certified account had sent a new update five minutes ago.

[Next week, whose lie April is will be officially revealed!]

This was a riddle-like update, but it seemed to ignite the emotions in the hearts of the vast number of April fans.

Commenting in the official comment section of "April" was no longer satisfying.

The comment section under Su Yan's update already had tens of thousands of comments in a short time.

"April, a lie? Are there still foreshadowings?"

"Old fox Su Yan, tell me, Kaori Miyazono won't die in the end, right?"

"Who understands, when I saw the little cat die, I thought it was Su Yan, the old fox, foreshadowing Kaori Miyazono's death. But in the end, after Kaori Miyazono was rescued, I really couldn't help but tear up."

"Old fox Su Yan, you can torture us however you want during the process. You must remember to give Kaori Miyazono happiness in the end. As long as you can do it, I can forgive you no matter how many depressing dramas you make in your life!"

"This is the first time I've been so fond of a girl while watching a drama. Old fox Su Yan, you have to have a conscience. Such a lovely girl should not be forcibly killed by the plot!"

"Kaori Miyazono still has to play with Kousei Arima! You must fulfill her wish, old thief."

"If you're short of money, turn on the reward function for your account! Just say it directly, how much money will it take to keep Kaori Miyazono from dying? We fans will crowdfund it for you..."

"Everyone, don't be too emotional. The suspense is still there. Kaori Miyazono's surgery is the plot that will ultimately determine her fate. In the next episode, whether this drama will be enshrined or despised by the vast number of fans depends on how Su Yan chooses."

"As the saying goes, things don't happen more than three times. After tormenting three dramas, there should always be one happy drama, right?"

"Kaori Miyazono, go! Kousei Arima, go! Old fox Su Yan, if you dare to kill Kaori Miyazono, then don't hang around in the film and television industry anymore."

"My home is not far from the Shanghai Film and Television Base. If Kaori Miyazono is really written to death, then I will directly block Su Yan, the old fox, on his way home from get off work! I'll broadcast live and scold him bloody, I mean it!"

"So, is no one concerned about what April's lie is? What kind of lie is the old fox Su Yan going to reveal?"

All night, the April fans were a little depressed.

The plot of the tenth episode of "April" was too depressing.

Although the middle music competition plot was wonderful, it was not worth mentioning compared to the depressing plot at the end.

The next morning, Su Yan bought breakfast at a breakfast shop wearing a mask.

Students walked to school in groups of three or five, and office workers drove or walked to work.

And although Su Yan, wearing a mask, was frequently noticed by passersby, no one recognized him without makeup and wearing black-rimmed glasses.

However, discussions about the plot of the drama "April" could be heard everywhere along the way.

Middle school students, office workers, and even shop owners along the way...

The situation of logging into Raccoon Net through mobile phones to catch up on the drama "April" could be seen everywhere.

Now, the drama "April" has completely become a national hit.

Although many casual viewers are still catching up...

"But by the time the eleventh episode airs, they will always catch up to the latest progress."

Su Yan took a deep breath and walked into the filming crew.

Today was the crew restarting the shooting of supplementary ending shots.

At noon, the viewership rate for the fourth episode of "April" came out.

4.69%

This time, "April" did not exceed "Summer Flowers" and top the list at the last minute after the final episode aired, like "To the Moon".

Instead, it topped the viewership rate in the second-to-last episode before the finale.

With a slight difference of 0.02% viewership rate, it became the number one in viewership rate among Xia's film and television dramas this week.

The entire Xia film and television industry was in an uproar.

The three major television stations were collectively silent after knowing this result.

But everyone knew that this screenwriter named Su Yan had created a miracle.

But at the same time, he had offended the three most terrifying giants in the Xia film and television drama industry.

Now it was not as simple as Sakura Television.

Instead, all three television stations began to be wary of Su Yan.

They all had a fire in their hearts.

Su Yan's new drama was broadcast on Qingkong Television, and the viewership rate surpassed their works and topped the list.

Who could accept this?

Or, to change the way of thinking...

Su Yan only had a feud with Sakura Television and not with the big three.

The production departments of Shanghai Television and Zhongxia Television had other options.

Su Yan could cooperate with Qingkong Television.

Why couldn't he cooperate with them?
