#127 - Undercurrent
As the release of the trailer was announced, a large number of Su Yan's fans flooded into Raccoon Net.
At the same time, the advertisement content of Zhongxia TV, one of the three major television stations, changed.
The style of the television screen suddenly became colorful.
Skyscrapers were everywhere, and strangely shaped people wandered the streets.
From time to time, fierce battles between criminals and police forces could be seen on the streets.
Modified humans with more steel than flesh all over their bodies.
Just one scene was enough to attract the attention of a large number of viewers.
Then, a tall girl with silver hair and delicate features appeared.
She was lying in bed, seemingly staring at something.
A large group of Su Yan's fans were stunned when they saw this character appear, and then overjoyed.
Is that Gu Qingyuan?
That's Gu Qingyuan!
Although everyone knew that Gu Qingyuan had a good figure, from the Rurouni Kenshin period to the April drama, although there weren't many places to show it in the plot, the audience actually understood.
If Gu Qingyuan played a mature woman role, it would definitely be super fitting!
And her Lucy look in Cyberpunk directly shocked this group of fans' hearts.
Of course, the adapted TV series definitely couldn't be like the original animation. Lucy's clothing in the animation was too revealing, and it wasn't suitable to copy it directly in the TV series.
Including Su Yan's later image, David in the original animation appeared as a normal teenage muscle man, and in the mid-late stage, he directly became a bulky muscle man.
But in the TV series, Su Yan would at most take off David's upper clothes and add some metal prosthetic effects to his body.
The Xia country audience doesn't like the Western-style bulky image, so it can't be completely copied.
But apart from these small details that need to be changed, the style of the TV series version of Cyberpunk and the animation version hasn't changed much.
Especially Lucy's makeup.
Silver-haired mature woman, captivating between glances.
The camera zoomed out, and the audience discovered that there was another teenager in yellow clothes lying on the bed with this silver-haired mature woman.
The camera changed again.
Above the moon, a boy and a girl sat on the ground.
In front of them was a boundless pitch-black universe, and that blue planet that seemed so close, but was so far away.
[Why did you bring me here?] the boy asked.
[I don't know, I just felt like I could bring you here! I feel like we can be a good team.]
The silver-haired girl smiled and looked at the boy.
The sunlight shone on the girl's face, that bright expression, coupled with the boy's slightly red cheeks.
At this moment, Su Yan's fans knew that this drama was to their liking.
Gu Qingyuan as the female lead, Su Yan as the male lead.
And this shot.
The boy's blush is better than any love words.
This is the pure love everyone wants to see!
The following scenes were a bunch of exciting, blood-pumping gunfight scenes.
In the scene, David, played by Su Yan, wielded a gun, leaping and jumping in the abandoned building. Those movements were too outrageous, leaving the audience a little confused.
You say it's an action scene created with special effects, but it doesn't look out of place at all.
But if it's a live-action shoot, those movements are too outrageous.
Gunfights, violence, blood, madness.
The elements and special effects level shown in a trailer dispelled all the doubts that the audience had about this drama before it aired.
At the end of the trailer, David's gentle lines sounded.
The screen was black, but his voice was extremely firm.
[Lucy, I will take you to the moon. I promise you!]
The words [Cyberpunk: Edgerunners] appeared in large letters.
Like the trailers for "Black Gate" and "South Dream", it's impossible to see what's going on.
Everyone can only judge from the screen style that this is a science fiction drama.
The special effects and production quality are definitely the strongest among the TV series Su Yan has created so far.
For a TV series, only the money spent will not disappoint it.
You get what you pay for.
Just.
I will take you to the moon.
Why does this line at the end of the trailer make people so uneasy?
"Go to the moon? Did I hear correctly? Another person who wants to go to the moon?"
"Something's not right, this drama won't be as tragic as To the Moon, will it?"
"Fact from fiction, fiction from fact. The old thief dared to design this line, he must have considered it. If we are all scared, it means this drama is not a tragedy?"
"That makes sense!"
"Then if Su Yan predicts our prediction of the prediction, what should he do in the atmosphere?"
"Why think so much? No matter how much you think, you still have to watch it. Anyway, I'm used to it. And my threshold has been raised by the old thief's many dramas, and now ordinary tragedies can't move my heart."
"Finally waited for a drama with Gu Qingyuan as the female lead and Su Yan as the male lead. Although Shen Liqian is also very good, her Kaori Miyazono is also heartwarming. But in the second ending of that drama, she already had a good ending! Only the dramas of Gu Qingyuan and Su Yan have no happy endings."
"Isn't it in To the Moon?"
"The two people in To the Moon are playing passersby! It's just a role to promote the plot, not even a couple."
"This trailer meets all my fantasies about Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan. Everyone just blindly follows it!"
"Although I don't really like action gunfight scenes. But judging from the trailer, action gunfights are just the background, and the main line should still be about falling in love."
"The main reason why I personally think April is more to my liking than Life is Strange is that there are no romance elements in the Life is Strange drama. Although the plot is very good, a drama without romance elements is like instant noodles without seasoning, it's tasteless to a teenage boy like me."
"Isn't the final farewell kiss between Max and Chloe love? When Chloe knew that the town and she could only choose one, the last kiss between the two of them made me cry."
"But I'm a boy! Although I respect it, I really can't get the feeling of this kind of emotion that transcends friendship between two girls."
"Anyway, no matter what, as long as Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan can be together in Cyberpunk and have a good ending, I will be satisfied!"
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners trailer topped the hot search list on the four major online broadcasting platforms on the day of its release.
Various promotions were in full swing.
Zhongxia TV was in full swing, and they promised that Su Yan would give this drama the highest promotion treatment.
Although it may be because it is not a self-made drama, only nine points of effort are used out of ten, but in terms of face and specifications, it is much better than Qingkong TV's support for April.
Su Yan, Ayumi Shinozaki, Gu Qingyuan, Shen Liqian, Shi Peihua, as well as Tong Jun, the bulky muscle man actor who played the protagonist's big brother Mann in the play, and Kuang Zonglin, the actor who played the villain Adam Smasher, were all arranged to be on Zhongxia TV's variety show to promote the premiere of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
For the three major television stations this season, the easiest one is undoubtedly Zhongxia TV.
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners only spent 23 million in introduction fees, the production cost of a B-level drama, but it attracted a huge amount of advertisement investment in Xia Country. A bunch of manufacturers scrambled to sponsor the advertisement during the premiere of Edgerunners.
Although Zhongxia TV can't earn a lot of the benefits of this drama, many risks are also far away from Zhongxia TV.
If an S-level drama doesn't win the season championship after it's produced, it's a sin.
But for an S-level drama introduced for more than 20 million, Zhongxia TV can only say that it doesn't earn too much, but it's absolutely impossible to lose.
And for the three S-level dramas in the spring season, Sakura and Shanghai are both self-made dramas, and their performance pressure can be imagined.
On March 25th, the promotion of the three S-level dramas completely entered a white-hot stage.
Su Yan, as a newly promoted genius screenwriter, strictly speaking, none of his works since his debut have been poorly performing, it's just a matter of how good they are.
But compared with the industry's gold medal screenwriters and top production teams of the other two S-level dramas, his qualifications are still somewhat lacking.
Xia Country's TV drama fans each have their own supporters, and they are constantly arguing on the Internet.
From the current situation, among the three S-level dramas, the one with the highest pre-premiere popularity is Shanghai TV's "South Dream", followed by Sakura TV's "Black Gate", and then "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners".
After all, Su Yan has only debuted for less than two years.
It's not so easy to surpass others' accumulation of more than ten dramas in more than ten years.
Among the creative teams of the other two dramas, there are not a few people who have won the annual Best Screenwriter, Best Producer, and Best Director awards.
But.
Pre-premiere popularity statistics are often unreliable.
Who is the first in the spring season among the three dramas?
We have to compete to find out.
The winter season is over.
The spring season is coming.
April.
Xia Country's major A-level and B-level dramas are crowded to premiere on weekdays.
On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, during the time period before and after the premiere of the three S-level dramas, there are basically no big-budget dramas joining in the fun.
Before the spring season even started, everyone in the entire industry knew it.
The top three dramas in the ratings this season are definitely Cyberpunk, Black Gate, and South Dream.
For all other dramas, it is a victory to grab the fourth place in the ratings.
"This season, there are a total of three S-level dramas, two A-level dramas, fifteen B-level dramas, and several C-level dramas. Since its premiere, the historical drama 'Northern Country' which premiered on Zhongxia TV last night has the highest ratings. The first episode has a rating of 4.32%."
Ayumi Shinozaki and Su Yan were in the Garden of Words crew, taking advantage of the lunch break to start discussing the situation of the dramas this season.
"Now we are just waiting for Sakura TV's 'Black Gate' to premiere tonight," Su Yan took a deep breath.
"Everyone in the Xia Country TV industry is watching, how many ratings can an S-level drama made by Xia Country Moment for more than two years get for its premiere?"
"It is likely to break 5%," Ayumi Shinozaki thought for a while and said.
"In the past, the premiere ratings of S-level dramas basically hovered around 5%. After all, several first-line stars are invited, not to mention the production quality, even the directors, screenwriters, and others are definitely veterans who have been in the industry for many years. No matter what, these people come with a group of die-hard fans."
"To be strict, our Cyberpunk crew has the worst strength among them. Even if you and Gu Qingyuan and Shen Liqian hadn't gained a lot of popularity with the April drama, the Edgerunners drama starring you wouldn't even be considered an S-level drama configuration," Ayumi Shinozaki said with a soft smile.
"However, the production teams of Black Gate and South Dream are all older faces, and the main actors of the two dramas are all entertainment veterans over thirty years old. At least in the creative teams of the three dramas, you and Gu Qingyuan and Shen Liqian have the highest level of appearance, and our drama definitely has a greater advantage in attracting new TV viewers."
"Maybe in the end, Edgerunners can stand out from the three dramas with the appearance of the main creators," Ayumi Shinozaki joked.
"No, Edgerunners will win. And it will win with strength," Su Yan thought for a while and said.
"Whether it's word of mouth or ratings, it will become the first in the spring season, or even this year."
"You also had this idea before Life is Strange premiered. But..." Ayumi Shinozaki thought for a while.
"This time, I blindly support your idea and will never question it."
