Depressive Screenwriter

The second week of July.

The competition in the film and television drama market remains fierce.

Some dramas that are hugely popular on TV stations have ratings as high as 5% or even 6%, and the cost of inserting and embedding advertisements during the broadcast time alone is as high as tens of millions of Xia country currency.

Moreover, the popular dramas on TV stations will also be transferred to video websites to reap a second wave of viewers after the broadcast popularity declines.

Hot dramas on TV stations are the battleground for capital in the film and television industry.

On online broadcasting platforms, after the second episode of "Qing Feng" was launched, the paid views in the first week exceeded 1.3 million.

As for the first episode of "Qing Feng", its paid views exceeded 2 million after two weeks of accumulation.

Judging from the online broadcast data alone, it can be called the second-best online broadcast drama in Xia country this year.

During the winter schedule in January, a web drama invested only 9 million by Zhongxia TV station created a paid average of 4.4 million views per episode, making Zhongxia TV station a lot of money.

However, such examples of small-cost web dramas becoming popular are rare to see once a year.

In the July summer档 without dark horse web dramas, "Qing Feng" is undoubtedly the first web drama on the four major online video platforms.

The crew has money, the quality of the script is also remarkable, some popular stars were invited, and with the resource tilt of Sakura TV station, this achievement is reasonable.

This achievement also made Kiyota Sanji famous in Sakura TV station.

Most screenwriters have the experience of working in the online drama market in the early stages of their careers.

It is extremely rare to have such achievements in the first web drama as the main screenwriter.

Some people in the screenwriting department who know the inside story may understand, who is the real screenwriter of "Qing Feng"?

But in the eyes of many middle and senior executives of Sakura TV station.

Kiyota Sanji is now a rising star in the station's screenwriting department, a promising talent.

Kiyota Sanji has been in high spirits these days, and seems to be floating while walking.

As for the short drama "Rurouni Kenshin" that has not yet been broadcast.

The entire station really doesn't expect much from it.

How much can a short drama with an investment of one million lose? How much can it earn? At most, it's tens of thousands of dollars up and down. For Sakura TV station, it's drizzle, and it's not worth spending too much energy on it.

At this time, Shinozaki Ikumi returned to the TV station and ran around in various departments.

But saying it is publicity, it is actually just asking the Rurouni Kenshin crew to edit a promotional video of less than one minute and submit it.

"There are still five days before it's released."

Shinozaki Ikumi, wearing a black dress with long hair, has a solemn expression on her beautiful face. She handed the relevant information to the station's reviewers, and her palms were also sweating.

Her eyes have dark circles, and she hasn't slept well for two days. Although she often looks like an optimist in the crew, in fact, the pressure is constantly accumulating.

Whether her career as a producer will end here depends entirely on the promotional video effect of Kenshin next and the premiere data of the first episode of Rurouni Kenshin a few days later.

"Please, people can't be wrong three times in a row, and have three consecutive failures in their careers."

Shinozaki Ikumi took a deep breath and cheered herself up as she walked out of the Sakura TV station gate and headed to the crew.

July 18th.

In some conspicuous places on Sakura Net, a video website with tens of millions of daily traffic users.

A strange new drama promotion link appeared.

"Rurouni Kenshin?"

"Sakura Net has a new drama?"

"What a strange drama name."

After all, it's almost the end of July. Shouldn't online dramas be launched at the beginning of the month as usual?

It is rare to be launched at the end of the month.

Many people clicked in curiously.

And after reading the relevant introduction of the drama, everyone understood.

The page information clearly stated that it was only a four-episode short drama, so it doesn't matter when this kind of work is launched.

But such a short work, the story is not clear, what is there to pay attention to?

But thinking this way, the eyes were unconsciously attracted by the promotional poster on the page.

In the snow, a handsome boy with black hair and cold eyes is holding a smiling woman in white with wounds all over her body.

This kind of promotional poster is not new, but the problem is that the makeup and appearance of the two people in this promotional poster are really eye-catching.

Even in the entertainment industry where handsome men and beautiful women gather, the appearance of the two is not low, and some temperament things cannot be defined by appearance.

The eyes of the knife-wielding boy in the poster, a closer look makes people feel a little scared.

The sadness and killing intent in the eyes make the poster present a tragic atmosphere.

Anyway, it's just a trailer, let's watch it before leaving.

Yue Zhi clicked on the promotional video of Rurouni Kenshin with this thought.

The background music sounded.

In the snow.

A conversation between a childish boy and a young man.

[I want to use this power to save suffering people, even if it's one life for one person, I want to protect them with my own hands.]

The boy said to the young man with a childish expression and the greatest courage.

[I can't control a fool like you. Get out of here.]

The handsome young man turned around but his inner monologue sounded.

[My foolish disciple has chosen his path, and because of his simplicity, there is this inevitable path.]

The camera zoomed in, and the two parted ways in the snow.

The screen switched.

Several samurai dressed men surrounded a man in Chinese clothes and walked in the alley with lanterns.

The boy appeared in front of them.

With indifferent eyes, a straight figure, and in his hand, he held a long sword that shone with cold light in the moonlight.

After a few lines, the two sides launched the fight that Yue Zhi expected.

Soon, Yue Zhi's pupils dilated and her body leaned forward.

Because the posture of the boy blocking the road in the trailer raising his sword and killing one person was so handsome that it exploded.

The action speed, eyes, and expressions are all in her aesthetics.

In the picture, the group of characters who are obviously roadside extras roared angrily, but unlike other intellectually disabled martial arts dramas, everyone has cooperation, mutual cover and knife.

But the boy on the opposite side was so fast that it was amazing, completely without avoiding, straight and away.

Drawing the sword, sprinting, waving the sword, unloading force, jumping and turning in the air, beheading.

In less than three seconds, a smooth and stunning fight ended, making Yue Zhi's goosebumps handsome, and five people fell to the ground.

One shot to the end, no editing.

Yue Zhi has watched a lot of martial arts dramas, but compared with this scene, the action scenes in those martial arts dramas are really a bit childish.

When the last handsome samurai man was killed, he shed tears and vomited blood from the corner of his mouth.

But at the last moment of his life, he recalled a white, beautiful, and stunning woman in his mind.

The trailer bgm instantly accelerated the rhythm.

The trailer screen began to jump.

Fighting in the rain.

Blood left on the boy's cheeks.

The girl walking out with an umbrella.

A martial arts epic atmosphere was quietly created.

Because he put a thin quilt on him, the boy who was awakened from his sleep instantly drew his sword and put the sword on the girl's throat.

The fire in Kyoto, the boy holding a knife to kill the enemy and pulling the girl away.

Then later, the girl put a thin quilt on the boy again, but this time, the boy hugged the sword and slept, without being awakened.

The trailer became lyrical.

Another series of pictures skipped.

Fighting, roaring, killing.

Until the end.

The woman in white hugged the sleeping boy holding the sword from behind.

The four characters of Rurouni Kenshin slowly emerged.

In the trailer, this series of lens switches made Yue Zhi confused and unable to guess what the plot was.

But her emotions fluctuated with the rhythm of the music.

What a handsome trailer.

A short drama, the fight is so handsome, and this bgm is so good.

Did the hero and heroine in the story finally get together?

Yue Zhi's expectations for this work instantly increased.

"I hope it's not a trailer scam." Yue Zhi did not hesitate to subscribe and remind the show to open on the page with her account.

Watch an episode first when it goes online.

Just based on the appearance of the actors and the level of fighting, it will not be a loss.
