Depressive Screenwriter

In mid-March, "Rurouni Kenshin's" total box office finally surpassed the 3 billion mark towards the end of its run, becoming the first, and quite possibly the only, movie in the Xia country film market this year to achieve this milestone.

After all, the Xia country currency has pretty good purchasing power, and there isn't much inflation. Movie ticket prices are relatively low, and even in Xia country, movies that break 3 billion aren't an annual occurrence. Moreover,

movies that break such box office records usually choose to be released during the Spring Festival. Although occasionally a movie might be released during the summer and become the highest-grossing film of the year, such situations are rare. Furthermore, this summer, Su Yan has another new movie, "Your Name," set to be released.

If such a situation were to occur, could it be that Su Yan's new movie's box office surpasses "Rurouni Kenshin"?

For several days, the Xia country film market media overwhelmingly reported on "Rurouni Kenshin's" box office exceeding 3 billion. Simultaneously, in the television market, the news of "FZ's" viewership rating breaking 6% also spread throughout the Xia country television industry, thanks to promotion by a group of drama critics.

[There is no longer any doubt about who is the number one figure in the Xia country film and television industry. Su Yan, at just 25 years old, and his Dimensional Film and Television Company have become a rising star in the Xia country film and television industry.]

["Rurouni Kenshin" breaks the 3 billion mark, topping the Spring Festival box office! "Your Name," set to be released during the summer, has become the most anticipated movie in the Xia country film industry!]

[Haters disappear. In the past month, all negative comments about the genius Su Yan have completely vanished. Even the most persistent online trolls can't find a single thing to smear Su Yan this year!]

["Rurouni Kenshin" has been confirmed for release in multiple countries. Dimensional Film and Television Company's profit margin on this work is expected to reach three times or more!]

[In just five short years, from obscurity to fame throughout Xia country, a look at the rise of screenwriter Su Yan.]

Su Yan, who is filming in Tokyo, has always been at the center of the Xia country film and television industry's media storm. In recent days, the Xia country media's reports about him have increased significantly compared to usual.

After a person and a company become famous, a large amount of capital follows.

Some Xia country capital giants want to invest in Su Yan's company, but Su Yan is not interested in going public. Moreover, at his current level, it is difficult for others to target him with any petty tricks.

Su Yan is not a physical enterprise. He doesn't have to worry about someone cutting off cooperation and then suppressing him in the industry through supply chains, raw materials, export and import channels.

Su Yan's Dimensional Film and Television Company is a cultural enterprise. The copyright of all his works belongs to Su Yan. The most valuable selling point of Dimensional Film and Television Company is Su Yan himself, so anyone who wants to play dirty tricks against Su Yan basically has no way to do so.

However, Su Yan is very interested in non-equity cooperation with a bunch of capital and GG merchants in the industry.

After the great success of "Rurouni Kenshin" at the box office, Su Yan has basically penetrated all channels in the Xia country film industry.

Which star or company in Xia country can put on airs in front of Su Yan and refuse to cooperate now?

Before the filming of "Rurouni Kenshin," Dimensional Film and Television Company looked for many well-known actors in the industry to join the cast for many important roles, but they looked down on Su Yan at the time. Now, although they say they don't regret it in interviews, the sourness in their tone is obvious.

At the same time, it seems that the filming of "Kimi ni Todoke" (From Me to You) and "Your Name" has also entered the later stages.

Originally, youth campus romance dramas like "Kimi ni Todoke" are not difficult to film, and there are not many special effects in post-production.

As for "Your Name," Su Yan has high hopes for this movie.

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was Sunday again.

After the Spring Festival, the temperature rose in various parts of Xia country, and cherry blossoms fell all over the Tokyo area.

Su Yan was in the Tokyo area capturing cherry blossom shots for "Your Name" and "Kimi ni Todoke."

After a week, the popularity of "FZ" among Su Yan's fans completely exploded.

Many fans who were waiting to binge-watch it could no longer bear it.

Although everyone is complaining about Su Yan's works being depressing, it must be admitted that these people just like to watch them.

The familiar depression, the familiar bloodiness, the familiar reversals, give many people a feeling of watching "Madoka Magica" back then.

And the final direction of this drama has also become the focus of discussion among a group of "FZ" fans.

"Can you stop Gilgamesh from showing off? I'm a little annoyed by this character."

"I always feel that Gilgamesh is a Heroic Spirit who relies on weapons. His actual combat power should be very weak."

"From beginning to end, he has been fighting with his Gate of Babylon. If he doesn't rely on Noble Phantasms, he should only have Hassan's strength."

"But what can you do? He just has so many Noble Phantasms."

"Watch, now that Gilgamesh is portrayed as so powerful, the plot will definitely make him screw up big time later!"

"Don't even think about it. How could Su Yan, the old fox, personally participate in a role that will screw up big time?"

"You are all discussing who will win the Holy Grail War between Gilgamesh and Artoria, but am I the only one who hopes Alexander wins?"

"Our Emperor party should not be ignored either."

"Although the possibility is not high, after all, the Emperor looks like a supporting role, but I really like this character."

"Does no one like Berserker? The only character who has been able to go back and forth with Gilgamesh since his appearance."

"Forget it, Berserker looks like a psychopath. Who would like him?"

"His mentally unstable state should be a side effect of being summoned as a Berserker. The Dimensional Film and Television Company's official website mentions that if he is summoned in another class, he wouldn't have this problem. But conversely, this will also increase his combat power in a berserk state. Otherwise, he might not have been able to exchange blows with Gilgamesh before!"

"I just want to know now, if Kiritsugu Emiya really wins the Holy Grail War in the end, what wish will he make with the Holy Grail? Can the Holy Grail really fulfill a general wish like world peace?"

"What are you thinking about in the old fox's drama? Among so many magical girls in Madoka Magica, only Madoka made a successful wish and didn't regret it later. I feel that this wish definitely has a big pitfall."

Since the TV series started broadcasting, a group of power-scaling fans have emerged one after another, just like in Su Yan's previous life.

Each character has supporters, and they argue endlessly on the Internet every day.

As the male lead, Kiritsugu Emiya's popularity is also getting higher and higher, and a large number of fans have begun to discuss topics about him.

If you do a good thing using despicable means, is it still a good thing?

As long as you have good intentions, no matter what bad things you do, as long as the final result is good, then can this person be forgiven?

The influence of "FZ" gradually spread in the later stages of broadcasting, and related discussions continued from day to night.

Just like that, time came to nearly eight o'clock in the evening, close to the premiere of the eleventh episode of "FZ".
