Depressive Screenwriter

If the first episode of FZ introduced the identities of the seven Masters,

then the second episode began to reveal the origins of the seven Servants to the audience.

At this time, viewers who had read the setting collection on Su Yan's official website and done their homework could easily immerse themselves in the story.

Those who hadn't done their homework had to pay attention to the plot while digesting the settings.

And remember the first website domain name 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞

These distinctive Servants quickly attracted the attention of viewers and fans.

The burly, open-minded, and resourceful Conqueror, Alexander.

The story of the historical King Servant coming to the present world to learn about various novel things in the real world made the audience laugh.

Summoned alone, he thought of forming an army and conquering the world.

Because his Master, Waver, only wished to win the Holy Grail War and make those who looked down on him because of his low lineage recognize his talent, he was slapped away by the Conqueror, who criticized him for lacking ambition.

The impression of the Conqueror's domestic violence against his little wife on their wedding night was thus etched into the audience's minds.

The吐槽[Wanting to gain everyone's respect, why not use the Holy Grail to wish for 30 centimeters taller!] directly broke the defenses of a group of viewers.

Then came the supplementary setting that the three Command Spells in the Master's hand could control the Servant.

And the battle special effects scenes that the audience was looking forward to.

Because it was an ensemble drama, it would intersperse the warm daily life of Kiritsugu Emiya and his daughter Illyasviel.

And the revelation of the female lead Saber's true identity as King Arthur.

A person who was praised as the King of Knights in the historical background of a TV series turned out to be a girl.

There was also the setting in the plot of the King of Knights pulling out the Sword in the Stone, saving the people from fire and water in times of national crisis.

And, the story of being betrayed by his subordinates and falling in the end.

The seventh Master, Ryuunosuke Uryuu, and his Servant.

Plus Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes, making a shining appearance above the sky, with the grand scene of the King's Treasure's weapons floating in the sky.

And, at the end of the second episode, the duel between Saber and Lancer.

After this episode aired, the Xia country audience completely determined that the characters in FZ would not be in a relationship.

This was a fantasy special effects battle-themed work.

Moreover, although it had only been broadcast for two episodes, the worldview, background setting, and mythological history in this drama completely caught fire in Xia country.

"So the legend of King Arthur in the plot is a man, but in reality, it's just a woman? Is this kind of thing possible?"

"Are Artoria's subordinates blind? Their own king is so beautiful, how can they regard her as a man?"

"But in the official setting collection, she also has a wife, a son, and a subordinate named Lancelot who cuckolded her... What's going on?"

"The old thief has been supplementing the setting collection as the plot is broadcast. However, according to the fantasy mythological history in the plot, this kind of thing is not so difficult to understand, right? Magicians exist in the world, what's so strange about a girl becoming a king? Just use some weird magic to hide her true appearance. However, the fact that she married a girl in history and had children is probably a real cuckolding, maybe the child's father is Lancelot."

"Suddenly discovered that Kirei Kotomine's Servant, Hassan, is really weak, and was directly defeated by Gilgamesh in one encounter."

"That's acting! Didn't you see that Kirei Kotomine and Tokiomi Tohsaka were acting for everyone to see?"

"My point is, even if they don't act, Gilgamesh can probably kill Hassan in seconds."

"After watching these two episodes, I just feel that this is the most complete and complex TV series in the old thief's career. Although the old thief's setting collection only briefly mentions some background history, it really feels like this world really exists."

"Especially after Artoria's identity was announced, the official website of Dimensional Film and Television Company directly announced Artoria's character autobiography."

"Anyway, the character autobiography made me cry. The king who saved the country and pulled out the Sword in the Stone, has been conscientious and dared not slacken in the slightest on the throne for many years, but was feared by his subordinates because he was too rational and only talked about the law and did not understand human relationships. Fighting bloody battles on the hill of swords, the rebellion of his subordinates eventually led to the disintegration of the country because of his own reasons... Her last wish before her death was to return to the day before she became king, choose not to pull out the Sword in the Stone, and choose to be a shepherd girl, thinking that this would prevent the country from being destroyed because of her"

"I'm shocked, does the female lead Artoria have so many hidden plots?"

"Yes, they are all on the official website of Dimensional Film and Television Company, and they are updated every week as the plot is released. Half an hour ago, the old thief just updated the character autobiography of Conqueror Iskandar."

"Why doesn't the old thief film these plots into the TV series?"

"I heard there will be, the old thief said in an interview before that some character autobiography plots will be filmed, but it will be after the TV series is finished, and it will be hung on the online broadcast platform for paid viewing."

"So do I have to go to the official website to read the setting collection to watch this drama?"

"No need, the old thief said, you can understand the plot without reading those things, but the setting collection is to help understand the worldview and the inner world of the characters. If you are interested in the main plot, you can learn about it. If the main plot can't attract you, then it's useless to read the setting collection! It's just a supplement!"

"I won't say more, I'm going to supplement and watch the setting collection too."

"The plot has been saying how awesome King Arthur and the Conqueror are, but I don't have a real sense of it. Indeed, the old thief's setting collections are a great help."

"The old thief's attitude towards this drama is so serious! He didn't do this in his previous works!"

"After all, he is now successful and famous, and he must have a correct attitude towards his works! It is difficult to become famous, but the reputation collapses, and only a bad drama is needed!"

As the TV series aired, discussions about the character settings and mythological stories of the Fate series began to become popular.

FZ itself was born after FSN, but the FZ plot timeline is before FSN, so the charm and story of many characters were actually exposed in FSN.

When FZ was born, the novel's main writer, Gen Urobuchi, defaulted that readers had understood the FSN plot.

However, Xia country did not have the FSN galgame.

In order to minimize the viewing obstacles for the Xia country audience, Su Yan spent a lot of effort to write these mythological background stories and publish them on the Internet.

And the story about the character Artoria in the FSN galgame plot will also be released one by one as the plot progresses.

After all, a large part of her charm also comes from the fact that Shirou Emiya saw the story in her dream because he made a contract with her in FSN.

Compared to Sakura Net, a video pay-per-view website, Su Yan's Dimensional Film and Television official website had the highest fan traffic tonight.

The website was lagging because there were too many people online at the same time, just like the course selection system in universities.

But these fans were still watching the material novel information on it with relish late into the night.

The next morning,

Artoria occupied the first place on the Xia country TV drama character popularity list with an absolute advantage.

At the same time, Zhuang Yuxin, the actor of Saber, that is, Artoria, suddenly jumped to the top five on the female star popularity list.

You must know that the popularity of this ranking is generally only available to first-line female stars in Xia country.

But Zhuang Yuxin, only took two weeks

It is conceivable how terrifying the attention of Su Yan's new drama is?

At noon, the viewership rate of the second season of FZ was 5.32%, still ranking first in this week's viewership rate.

As for the second place in the viewership rate, the suspense drama "Riverside" launched by China Xia TV this quarter, the second episode's viewership rate was only 4.81%, and the gap with FZ was very huge, basically not a threat.

News media also began to write overwhelming publicity articles.

What is the highest quality masterpiece of Xia country TV dramas.

What is the ingenuity of creating a virtual world for a TV series.

Some media's words praising Su Yan and this drama made Su Yan himself feel a little embarrassed and thought it was too exaggerated.

However, Dimensional Film and Television Company is not only focusing on the FZ drama.

It is already mid-January, and in about twenty days, the movie version of Rurouni Kenshin will also be released during the Spring Festival.

The cost of on-location shooting and the construction cost of some specific scenes during the filming process of this film exceeded 200 million Xia country coins.

In order to cope with the huge marketing expenses during the Spring Festival, Su Yan once again gave nearly 200 million in marketing expenses.

It can be said that if this film only considers the box office share of the cinema, it will not be able to recover even if it does not exceed 1 billion.

However, Su Yan, who has experienced the bombing of the Chinese film market in his previous life, attaches great importance to marketing.

Whether a movie is good or not mainly depends on the plot and production quality, but whether this movie can recover its costs and make money largely depends on marketing and publicity.

In his previous life, Su Yan's weight loss movie was adapted from a Japanese movie. The plot was roughly the same, and it didn't even look as good as the original.

However, the box office of the original movie was not enough to carry shoes compared to the Chinese version, and the difference was probably hundreds of times.

The original version of the movie had a total box office of about four or five million Chinese coins.

Similar plots, change a group of people, change a company to adapt and remake. But there is such a big box office difference.

This is the power of marketing and capital. Of course, there is also the huge film market of more than one billion people that played a decisive role in the high box office.

Su Yan felt that these behaviors were meaningless in his previous life and disdained them in his heart.

But now in Xia country, he has this ability, so he will definitely not deliberately refuse to engage in marketing.

The Kenshin movie is a good movie, but Su Yan doesn't need to sell it in a deep alley.

Isn't it stupid to let it rely on word of mouth without any publicity?

The treatment and investment that other movies should have, Rurouni Kenshin will also have.
