Depressive Screenwriter

For the current Xia country's film and television industry, people are no longer surprised by the fact that Su Yan's new drama exhibits quality that exceeds industry standards after its premiere.

In the past few years, Su Yan has repeatedly proven his strength and has attracted a large number of fans to gather around him through these experiences.

The over 6.5% viewership rating of "Code Geass" at its premiere is certainly exaggerated, but the industry has been shocked by Su Yan too many times in the past, and everyone is numb to it.

The first reaction of most of Su Yan's peers when they see news media overwhelmingly reporting such news is, "Oh, he naturally broke the record again! And it's still breaking the record of his previous work!"

Because this kind of thing has happened too many times, everyone is numb and too lazy to be shocked, and his peers are too lazy to be envious, jealous, and hateful.

After all, knowing that he is not a competitor on the same level, instead of treating Su Yan as an enemy, it is better to think about how to capture the market that Su Yan cannot take.

No matter how powerful Su Yan is, he only produces one drama per quarter, and it is only broadcast for one hour in a week of more than one hundred hours.

To put it bluntly, Su Yan's peers in Xia country have already given up when facing him.

Su Yan's fans are the same, and they will not care about viewership data, rankings, and other things like before, anyway, it's all number one, what is there to care about.

Therefore, the media's report on "Code Geass's" viewership results did not generate much traffic. Su Yan's fans spent more time this week focusing on the setting of "Code Geass", the mecha models inside, and when the merchandise of the Lancelot model driven by the male second, Suzaku Kururugi, will be released.

Soon, the time came to the second week of July. After a week of fermentation, the popularity of "Code Geass" quickly spread in Xia country.

Moreover, the most surprising thing about the drama's premiere results was not its performance in Xia country.

Due to the time difference, "Code Geass" was broadcast on television in six overseas countries 12 to 24 hours later.

It was also launched on NK Net, the second largest video website overseas that has cooperated with Su Yan many times, one day later.

Although Su Yan spent a lot of money on advertising on these TV stations and platforms, the first episode of "Code Geass" squeezed into the top three in viewership ratings in six major countries that week, and was number one in three regions.

Moreover, among the new film and television dramas launched on NK Net in the past month, the online broadcast data of the first season of "Code Geass" is undoubtedly the first.

When "Fate/stay night" was broadcast overseas, it was to familiarize Su Yan with foreign fan groups, attract popularity, and build awareness.

And the success of "Fate/stay night" directly made the spread of "Code Geass", whose main characters are almost the same as those of "Fate/stay night", extremely easy among foreign fan groups.

After all, the actors who played the three main characters of "Fate/stay night", Gilgamesh, Shirou Emiya, and Artoria Pendragon, are actually the actors who play the three main characters of "Code Geass", Lelouch Lamperouge, Suzaku Kururugi, and C.C.

In the afternoon, Chu Yi's gaze moved away from the latest trailer for "Weathering with You" released on the Dimensional Film and Television Company's official website.

As always, it's stunning, still with the same feel as "5 Centimeters per Second" and "Your Name."

Although it is only mid-July, the pre-sale box office of this film has exceeded 90 million, and it is likely that the pre-sale box office will exceed 100 million in a few days.

But today, Chu Yi opened the online forum, and as he expected, it was full of posts analyzing the plot of "Code Geass", as usual.

After browsing the posts for more than two hours, Chu Yi let out a long breath, looked at the time, ordered takeout, and after eating dinner and taking a shower, the time finally approached the premiere of "Code Geass".

At this time, the viewership ratings of Zhongxia TV Station began to rise, the activity and popularity of major online forums doubled, and hot search terms about "Code Geass" frequently appeared on the rankings of major websites.

At eight o'clock, the second episode of "Code Geass" premiered.

The plot continues from the end of last week, with Lelouch personally killing his half-brother, Clovis.

Then, using the power of Geass, he learned from Clovis that the reason for his mother's death may be related to the Second Prince and Second Princess.

At this point, the names of Lelouch's greatest enemies in the first and second seasons of the drama were announced.

Schneizel el Britannia and Cornelia li Britannia.

Chu Yi frowned. These foreign names are really hard to remember.

But oh well, after all, Su Yan's drama is to open up the foreign market, so he still has to make some compromises. There's nothing shameful about making money.

"Code Geass" actually has two lines running through the entire work, one bright and one dark.

The bright line is the daily life of the well-behaved student Lelouch at Ashford Academy.

The dark line is the various identities of the students at this school behind the scenes.

Lelouch as the leader of the revolutionary army, Kallen Stadtfeld as Lelouch's number one thug and ace pilot, Suzaku, the second male lead who was scolded by countless people in Su Yan's previous life for killing his father for peace and joining the Britannia Empire army as the son of the former prime minister of Area 11, and then the teacher is an army of the Britannia Empire, who came to the school as a spy.

And Shirley Fenette, the second female lead who is in love with Lelouch, but whose father died in the battle commanded by Lelouch under the alias of Zero.

On the surface, this is a harmonious and loving group of teachers and students.

In the dark, everyone puts on masks, sits in the cockpit, and kills each other on the battlefield. Everyone has a blood feud with each other. It's just that everyone doesn't know each other's identities behind the scenes yet, and they are still getting along in harmony, maintaining a sincere student relationship.

These entanglements are also the highlights of the drama.

The first episode laid out the worldview, and the second episode began to shift the perspective to Lelouch's school life.

Unintentional first shot, one shot one hit, one shot one kill! (This line doesn't translate well into English and loses its original meaning, so I've left it as is)

Nunnally Lamperouge, Lelouch's younger sister who is blind and paralyzed, is Lelouch's weakness.

He, who is excellent in academics but weak in sports, also has many close friends at school.

Among them, Shirley, who everyone could see at first glance obviously liked Lelouch, left a deep impression on Chu Yi.

The president of the student council, an introverted girl in the student council, likes science, Albert Einstein. If it were the audience in Su Yan's previous life, they could tell from her name what earth-shattering things this girl would do in the future, but the Xia country audience had no idea.

These characters who appear to be extras now are all extremely crucial characters in the later plot.

Although she is a newcomer, she is really beautiful!

However

"There is no feeling of when Su Yan, Shen Liqian, and Gu Qingyuan were filming back then. Those three were the iron triangle, and these people later are just good-looking, but their cooperation with the old thief is far worse."

Chu Yi took a deep breath and continued to watch.

The transfer student incident that Su Yan filmed in his previous life was still a very novel setting in the era when "Code Geass" was broadcast in his previous life.

But in Xia country

When Kallen came to Lelouch's class as a transfer student, Chu Yi almost spat out a mouthful of tea.

?

Isn't this woman a revolutionary from Area 11?

How did she come to Lelouch's Britannia noble school as a transfer student?

But soon, the plot gave the answer, mixed-race, but she considers herself an Area 11 person, so she attends a noble school on the surface, and secretly works as a revolutionary, holding a gun and fighting against the Britannia army.
