Depressive Screenwriter

In the first week of October, Xia Country's seasonal dramas were successively broadcast.

A total of five A-level dramas and sixteen B-level dramas were launched this season, creating a strong viewing atmosphere in the market.

Among them, the two most popular dramas are undoubtedly 'Blood Road' and 'Tokyo Love Story,' with their popularity far ahead of the others.

Although famous screenwriters and actors like Su Yan have a large number of fans in Xia Country, there are also many people who dislike him.

The reason is simple.

A genius who became famous at a young age has achieved such results in the Xia Country film and television industry for two or three consecutive years, going from a newcomer to having assets of over 100 million.

There are plenty of people in Xia Country who don't even watch Su Yan's works but are still jealous of him for no reason.

They hate seeing others more successful than them.

Whether it's in Su Yan's previous life or in Xia Country, there are many people like this.

After 'The Border Walker' ended, Su Yan's reputation in the Xia Country film and television industry reached a peak, and 'The Garden of Words' achieved great success with a small investment, with both box office and word-of-mouth exploding. For a long time, Su Yan's name appeared almost daily in the headlines of the film and television industry, which made this group of people even more unhappy with this young man who was not even twenty-three years old.

This season's 'Tokyo Love Story' was met with hostility from many people before it even started airing, and these people were all expecting the ratings of 'Tokyo Love Story' to flop.

But no matter what, before the two dramas started airing, 'Tokyo Love Story' had a stronger reputation in the Xia Country television industry than 'Blood Road'.

No matter how great the screenwriter of 'Blood Road,' Akiyama Shunsuke, is, he was a screenwriter who was active in the market about ten years ago.

And Su Yan is a genius who just set a record a few months ago.

Although the cast of 'Blood Road' is slightly stronger than that of 'Tokyo Love Story'.

However, the combination of Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan, and Shen Liqian has also become extremely influential in Xia Country after collaborating on several dramas.

But Su Yan's previous works were too brilliant, and none of them flopped.

The media and practitioners in the Xia Country television industry were basically optimistic about 'Tokyo Love Story' before the two dramas started airing.

On Friday night, the filming of 'Tokyo Love Story' and 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' ended early.

Su Yan returned to his residence in the Tokyo area in advance and turned the TV in the room to Sakura TV.

Su Yan was also curious to see what level of drama that Akasaka Yoshitoki had his producers create under the current circumstances?

At eight o'clock in the evening, the first episode of 'Blood Road' aired.

Su Yan's eyes also narrowed, and his attention focused.

The theme song of 'Blood Road' with a rhythmic sense of impact sounded.

An hour later, Su Yan looked at the ending song of 'Blood Road' with lingering interest.

Honestly, it's good.

Even if Su Yan is hostile to Akasaka Yoshitoki, he has to admit that the first episode of this drama is really interesting.

The theme and viewing experience of the work are extremely similar to the bloody and bizarre clearance dramas such as 'As the Gods Will' and 'Alice in Borderland' in the island country in his previous life.

And the rhythm of the plot is not bad either.

Judging from the viewing experience of the first episode alone, Su Yan even felt that it was more interesting than Sakura TV's spring season drama 'Black Gate'.

However.

Su Yan knew very well the problem with this kind of drama.

Most of the works with bloody, bizarre, and dark themes, and the highlight is the battle of wits, tend to start high and end low.

Because it is necessary to bring the audience a wave of novel experiences that are stronger than the previous one in order to keep the audience continuously excited.

But the screenwriter is not a god, how is it possible that the plot is climax after climax, and each wave is stronger than the previous one.

There will always be a sudden decline in the level of the plot in a certain section in the middle, and then the audience will feel bored and abandon the drama.

"Well, the problem shouldn't be big."

Su Yan turned off the TV and went to bed peacefully.

But a group of drama fans in Xia Country couldn't sleep tonight.

Whether they were Su Yan's fans or Su Yan's haters, they could all feel the quality of the first episode of 'Blood Road'.

"Interesting! Akiyama Shunsuke has been silent for several years, so he has been quietly creating works of this kind of theme."

"Eight people died in the first episode. It made my adrenaline rush."

"My daughter was directly scared to cry. How can the close-up of dead people's eyeballs exploding be so clear? Bad review."

"It's a bit bad! Although I am a fan of Su Yan, 'Blood Road' is super interesting, and I will follow the drama next week!"

"I think it's okay. 'The Border Walker' is much more interesting than 'Blood Road'. This work is indeed watchable, but it's not worth praising."

"But Su Yan's work this season is not cyberpunk! You don't think that every drama by Su Yan has the level of cyberpunk, do you!"

"It's just the first episode, what's there to praise?"

"Don't forget, Su Yan said that 'Tokyo Love Story' will not lose to 'Blood Road' even for a week. It would be funny if 'Tokyo Love Story' was exploded by 'Blood Road' in the first week."

"I want to see the moment when this stubborn genius is slapped in the face. He won't lose even once? Who does he think he is? Akiyama Shunsuke is an industry senior, how can he say such things?"

"Hey, all of Su Yan's haters have come out. Akiyama Shunsuke took the initiative to touch Su Yan to increase the popularity of 'Blood Road' before it started airing. How can you be embarrassed to say these things now?"

"Let's wait and see. I want to see how much the ratings of the first episode of 'Blood Road' are tomorrow!"

"Relying on this little cleverness and the bloody and bizarre scenes, how can it be so easy to get the seasonal championship in ratings?"

On the night of 'Blood Road' broadcast, Su Yan's fans, Akiyama Shunsuke of Sakura TV, and the haters quarreled on the Internet all night.

The next day at noon, the ratings of the first episode of 'Blood Road' were announced.

4.91%.

During the spring season this year, the opening ratings of the three S-level dramas of the three major TV stations all exceeded 5%, but only slightly more than 5%.

In fact, even for S-level dramas, opening ratings exceeding 5% is a very good result.

And 4.91%.

Generally speaking, this result is the premiere result of an average S-level drama.

After this data was clearly counted, all the staff of Sakura TV also breathed a sigh of relief.

At least this proves that dramas of the 'Blood Road' theme definitely have a market in Xia Country.

Although its investment is not as high as that of S-level dramas, the premiere results have already reached that level.

After the premiere results of 'Blood Road' came out, the pressure came to Su Yan's side.

Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan, Xiaozaki Yumi, and other main creators of the crew were a little worried.

Although they have confidence in Su Yan.

Sakura TV's 'Blood Road' this season is indeed very good in terms of word-of-mouth, reputation, and results.

Su Yan said that 'Tokyo Love Story' would not lose even once and would win the seasonal championship this season.

Although the later plot of 'Tokyo Love Story' is indeed very powerful, they were shocked by the script many times during the filming process.

Only they know these things, and the audience in Xia Country doesn't know.

First of all, can the ratings of the first episode of 'Tokyo Love Story' exceed 4.92%?

The next day, Sunday.

The Xia Country television media was overwhelmingly praising 'Blood Road'.

On the Internet, the battle between Su Yan's fans and haters from other parties entered a white-hot stage.

Tens of millions of people in Xia Country are paying attention to the premiere of the first episode of 'Tokyo Love Story' tonight.

"Su Yan, don't let me lose face!" Xia Shiyun sent a post on Xingxia.com through her computer.

[If the premiere ratings of 'Tokyo Love Story' lose to 'Blood Road' tonight, I will broadcast live and cut my hair that I have kept for three years into a short haircut!]

As the group leader of Su Yan's three fan groups, she has been fighting with haters from all walks of life on the Internet these days, and she is also exhausted.

In order to suppress the arrogance of the haters, she even deliberately sent out this post to express her support for Su Yan as the leader of this fan group.

She, Xia Shiyun, is not just talking. Although she originally intended to change her style from long hair to short hair.

But she definitely doesn't want to cut her hair short under these circumstances.

At this time, it was already close to eight o'clock in the evening.

The screen of Zhongxia TV was full of trailers for the premiere of 'Tokyo Love Story', which can be called brainwashing loop.

Xia Shiyun was also nervously chatting with a group of friends in the fan group. As time passed, eight o'clock in the evening soon arrived.

The screen of Zhongxia TV paused.

A scene of a plane landing at the airport appeared.

The camera turned to a handsome man in a white trench coat, carrying a briefcase, looking around near the airport exit with a scrutinizing expression.

Seeing Su Yan's face, Xia Shiyun's heart immediately settled down.

He is still so handsome.

[Kanji. Nagao Kanji!]

A lively and lovely voice sounded.

A beautiful woman holding a pick-up sign, waving the sign vigorously with both hands, and showing a bright smile appeared.

The rhythm of the plot is very fast.

The male protagonist, Nagao Kanji, came to Tokyo by plane to take up his job.

And this lovely woman, named Akana Rika, is a colleague in the business department who was sent by the company to pick up Nagao Kanji, a new employee.

The plot at the beginning of the TV series is biased towards the daily office life of Nagao Kanji and Akana Rika.

Because Nagao Kanji is a newcomer, Akana Rika, as a senior in the company, naturally has to guide Nagao Kanji in many businesses.

This plot allowed Xia Shiyun to see the personalities of the male and female protagonists clearly.

Nagao Kanji, a man with a somewhat indecisive personality but with a sense of responsibility.

And Akana Rika.

Lively, cheerful, definitely not silly and sweet, and extremely capable at work.

Also.

She looks so good when she smiles.

Before 'Tokyo Love Story' started airing, Xia Shiyun always thought that the character played by Shen Liqian in this drama was similar to Kaori Miyazono in 'Your Lie in April'.

But after watching it for a few minutes, she found that it was not the same thing at all.

Although Akana Rika is also lively and cheerful, she is definitely not stupid, has her own opinions on things, and.

She understands boys' hearts very well.

At least in the drama, only a few minutes after the start, Nagao Kanji was encouraged by her words several times.

The plot in the company quickly skipped over, and then Nagao Kanji met with friends in the Tokyo area after arriving in Tokyo.

Among them, Kenichi Mikami, a high school friend who woke up from a big bed and had a beautiful woman lying naked next to him, and Rimi Sekiguchi, who is also a high school friend and is now a kindergarten teacher in the Tokyo area, appeared.

The three of them were high school friends, and the plot also clearly revealed that Rimi Sekiguchi likes Kenichi Mikami.

Nagao Kanji's job in Tokyo is a long-awaited connection between the three high school friends, and a high school reunion in the Tokyo area.

Of course, in addition to the three of them, other classmates who work in Tokyo will also come.

Seeing this, the first ten minutes of this drama have ended.

Of course, the audience in Xia Country has this patience.

The first episode of a romance drama must portray the characters and personalities that will appear in the drama next, which requires a lot of writing.

If Su Yan was an unknown screenwriter, this plot might cause the TV ratings to drop a lot.

But with Su Yan's current reputation, this phenomenon is basically not to worry about.

"Will the girl you have a crush on also go?" Akana Rika showed a curious but sunny smile on her face.

"Yeah! It's been five years since I saw her." Nagao Kanji's expression paused, and then he nodded.

"Yeah, then you can see the person you love." Akana Rika looked at her company junior and said with a smile.

"I hope you can meet that girl smoothly at this gathering."

Xia Shiyun was a little puzzled when she saw this.

Judging from the trailers and the information released on the official website of 'Tokyo Love Story', the female lead of this drama is Akana Rika.

In the first episode, the male lead, Nagao Kanji, already has someone he likes, and Akana Rika also encourages the male lead to pursue Rimi Sekiguchi, played by Gu Qingyuan?

The plot continues to advance.

Because of a misunderstanding on the road, Akana Rika and Kenichi Mikami met and got to know each other, and also mixed into the protagonist's three-person reunion.

After the party, the four of them went home together.

In just the first half of the first episode, Kenichi Mikami, Nagao Kanji, Rimi Sekiguchi, and Akana Rika.

The four main characters of 'Tokyo Love Story' met each other and became friends.

This.

Kanji likes Rimi, Rimi likes Mikami, Mikami is a playboy who hooks up with girls everywhere and makes appointments.

Then Akana Rika also mixed into their three-person group.

A trace of ominousness appeared on Xia Shiyun's expression.

Something is wrong, this drama is different from what she imagined.

It is probably not like a youth romance drama.

"Just like in high school, as long as I chat with a girl, I will feel a pair of contemptuous eyes staring at me from behind."

At the party, Kenichi Mikami, who had just finished chatting with a girl, said unhappily as soon as he came back.

"Rimi's cleanliness seems to be incurable."

The plot develops extremely fast.

After helping the audience to sort out the relationship between the four, they immediately delve into the芥蒂 between them.
