Depressive Screenwriter

Their conversation ended there, and Ayami Shinozaki took the two scripts home to study.

Thinking about which actors should be cast for which roles.

What standards should be used to produce these two works, and how much investment would be required.

Over the next week, with the filming of both "5 Centimeters Per Second" and "Love Like a Bouquet" completed.

Su Yan also issued bonuses to most of the people in the company and gave them a vacation.

As for Su Yan, having decided to film "Rurouni Kenshin," he also needed to work out.

The dramas he had filmed in recent years were mostly everyday romance stories, and Su Yan had hardly exercised. If he wanted to return to action scenes, he had to regain his physical fitness.

Meanwhile.

Inside Sakura TV, information about the high-level meeting held yesterday was spreading like wildfire.

Rumor had it that most of the executives had reached a decision to remove Yoshitoki Akasaka from his position as head of the production department.

But for the decision to take effect, it still needed the president's signature.

After all, Akasaka Yoshitoki had been at Sakura TV for so many years, and even if he hadn't made great contributions, he had put in the effort. The president of Sakura TV was the largest shareholder, and everyone was curious about his final decision, not just the gossiping masses in the TV station, but even people from other TV stations.

There were many screenwriters and producers in history who had been suppressed by大佬s like Akasaka Yoshitoki and ultimately couldn't survive in the industry.

But Akasaka Yoshitoki was the first department head to be forced into this situation by a wild screenwriter with no background.

In Akasaka Yoshitoki's office, his expression was somewhat absent-minded.

While the outside world was still speculating about his ultimate fate, he basically already knew the result.

The higher-ups had reached a consensus. As it stood, "Wu Shuang" had basically no chance of surpassing "Madoka Magica" in viewership ratings. His failure this season was a foregone conclusion, so he would be replaced after this season ended.

Of course, the station also gave him two options: to spend his days in some unimportant, idle position at the station, but to no longer interfere with the production department's affairs.

Or, to retire directly after the spring season ended.

Retiring at fifty was quite early in Xia Country, but in a large TV station like Sakura TV in the Sakura Island region, it was the golden age.

And all of this was being orchestrated behind the scenes by his old rival, Aya Komeda.

Originally, the president of Sakura TV was still hesitating whether to really replace him because of his hard work and great achievements.

During Akasaka Yoshitoki's years as head of the production department, he had only failed to win against Central Xia TV with Su Yan's help, but he had basically suppressed Shanghai TV, which was also one of the top three.

His performance couldn't be said to be bad, it was just that his affair with Su Yan had brought very bad public opinion to the TV station's image.

But Aya Komeda's high-level backstage supporter made it clear at the high-level meeting a few days ago that if Aya Komeda was promoted, then Su Yan might reconcile with Sakura TV and cooperate with them.

These remarks were the last straw that broke the camel's back.

If simply replacing the head of the production department from Akasaka Yoshitoki to Aya Komeda could win against Central Xia TV?

Of course not!

The higher-ups at Sakura TV were well aware of this.

But if Aya Komeda could bring Su Yan back to the same side as Sakura TV after becoming the head of the production department, everything would be different.

"Su Yan," Akasaka Yoshitoki clenched his jaw, recalling Su Yan's departure from Sakura TV a few years ago.

His fist clenched, but eventually, he let it go.

It was too late to say anything now.

Even if Su Yan was standing in front of him now, and he really lost his mind and rushed up, according to rumors, he wouldn't be able to beat Su Yan anyway.

His more than twenty years of hard work in the TV industry, one wrong step, and he lost everything.

Even if he kept telling himself that a man can fail in his work, but he can't regret it.

But how could he not regret it?

Just helping a nephew with this trivial matter, ultimately the butterfly effect led to this outcome, who could accept it?

A few more days passed.

The Xia Country media didn't report much about the seventh episode of "Wu Shuang."

After all, "Madoka Magica" was now the hottest topic in the market.

On Sunday, the seventh episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" aired.

In this episode, the most interesting and deeply hidden foreshadowing of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" was revealed.

Previously in the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" storyline, Kyubey and Homura Akemi had mentioned the term timeline.

Many viewers in Xia Country thought it was the same setting as "Consort of a Past Dynasty."

But the plot of this episode directly shattered their strange guesses.

Homura Akemi did distort the timeline, but she definitely didn't accomplish this through any unreasonable means.

Homura in this work has actually experienced this period of time in the storyline countless times.

At the beginning, she was just an ordinary transfer student who came to the class, was taken care of by Madoka, and entered Mami Tomoe's magical girl group.

But in the first timeline, she encountered Walpurgisnacht and suffered a crushing defeat. At that time, she made a wish.

"I want to meet Madoka again, not as someone protected by her, but as someone who can protect her!"

A pure wish, a shining soul gem, her aptitude, successfully fulfilled her wish.

Thus, the first magical girl who could reverse time was born!

Meeting again and again, fighting side by side again and again, fighting again and again.

Homura Akemi discovered the secret of magical girls, and discovered what it meant to become a magical girl.

She wanted to save Madoka, she wanted to save the world.

But she fell to Walpurgisnacht again and again, and Madoka, in that constantly repeating time, wished again and again to become a magical girl for her, for everyone.

The entanglement of cause and effect in countless timelines made the cause and effect that Madoka carried deeper and deeper. Every time the timeline was restarted, her aptitude would increase.

Finally, in this timeline, Madoka became the magical girl candidate with the highest aptitude in history in Kyubey's eyes.

And Homura Akemi, because of meeting Madoka, Sayaka, and Kyoko Sakura again and again, and watching them die again and again.

Her heart gradually became numb, and despair began to spread.

However, the heart to save Madoka supported her.

This time, she still decided to do so.

To challenge Walpurgisnacht alone.

To prevent Madoka from wishing to become a magical girl.

For her, to end all evil.

The plot of the seventh episode is all about memories.

In the plot, Sayaka, Madoka, and Mami Tomoe from past timelines all appeared.

The same timeline, different endings.

And, the increasingly intense sense of despair in the plot.

"So in this drama, Homura Akemi's ability is actually similar to Max's in "Life is Strange," both are time rewinds?"

"No, Homura Akemi is more advanced. She can also pause time and move freely and attack others in paused time."

"My head is going to be dizzy."

"This episode made me cry again."

"Who said last week that Homura Akemi was Madoka's daughter? Stand up for me!"

"How many times has Homura Akemi been reincarnating in this week?"

"At least a thousand times! Every time there's no way, she can only keep repeating the action of saving Madoka, but no one can succeed."

"Despair will turn you into a witch, even if Homura Akemi's ability is against the sky, but as long as she gives up in her heart one day, she will completely become a witch, right!"

"So why does she think she can succeed this time if she hasn't successfully killed Walpurgisnacht hundreds or thousands of times before?"

"Then what else can you do? Give up, that's death."

"Su Yan Laozei said that this drama will have a happy ending, right? He won't lie to us, right?"

"Do you believe Su Yan or do you believe I am the last emperor of Xia Country."

"This episode is really brain-burning!"

"I watched this episode with red eyes while using my brain to understand the plot."

"Su Yan Laozei likes this kind of timeline drama so much!"

"Don't say he likes it, I like it too!"

""Consort of a Past Dynasty" and "Life is Strange" are both tragedies. Can "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" have a happy ending once! Just once!"

"Laozei, as long as you make the ending of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" normal, I won't scold you in the future!"

"But one thing to say, this drama has only progressed to here in the seventh episode, how will the next few episodes be filmed? Could it be that this timeline fails again and the perspective switches to the next timeline?"

Originally, the plot has reached the end of the original anime of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" here.

But because of the length problem, so Su Yan added the plot of the movie "Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion", it will confuse many viewers.

After all, in terms of the atmosphere of the seventh episode, the eighth episode is likely to fight Walpurgisnacht.

What will the next few episodes shoot? It's impossible to fight a witch's night for a few hours, right?

Fans have various doubts in their hearts.

The media is even more frantically reporting relevant news.

That night, on the online broadcasting platform, the playback volume of "Madoka Magica" officially exceeded the 20 million mark per episode.

A truly popular national drama in the true sense.

The next day, the viewership data of Central Xia TV came out.

5.68%.

Even at the current height, the ratings are still growing continuously.

The colleagues in Xia Country have become numb.

Many people actually have a very normal idea after seeing this result.

But in fact, this is definitely not normal.

Sakura TV's Akasaka Yoshitoki is gambling his career to create the S-level drama "Wu Shuang", also struggling at 5.1% ratings.

But Su Yan has three consecutive dramas with ratings exceeding 5.6%.

Using the word genius to describe Su Yan is very pale.

The entire Xia Country, people in the TV circle are racking their brains to get closer to Dimension Film and Television Company.

Soon, after a week of fermentation, the news that Akasaka Yoshitoki was about to be dismissed within Sakura TV also began to spread.

The media will naturally not let go of this kind of news, and long articles began to appear on the Internet.

Although Sakura TV is actively suppressing these news, their spread is still extremely rapid.

However, in this season's TV industry, these are all trivial matters, and this matter that was still being frantically discussed by Su Yan's fans on Saturday completely disappeared on Sunday.

All of Su Yan's fans in Xia Country today are not focused on these gossips, but are all focused on the eighth episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" which will be broadcast tonight.
