Depressive Screenwriter

As November arrived, the weather gradually turned colder, and the global fanbase of the drama "Code Geass" began to push its popularity to new heights.

With the series progressing, the plot's settings and the world's background were fully revealed.

VV and his younger brother, Emperor Charles zi Britannia's objectives, also began to be disclosed.

Moreover, after Shirley's death, the plot began to take a somber turn.

War-themed dramas inherently possess this style, but previously, the plot alternated between war episodes and school life episodes, allowing the audience's negative emotions to accumulate and dissipate.

However, after Shirley's death, the school life scenes decreased, and all the characters from the overt and covert storylines began to appear, with more and more sacrifices being made, including the protagonists C.C. and Lelouch, who all seemed to be in a slump.

Currently, many "Code Geass" fans have started intense debates online based on Su Yan's previous works' style.

The most intense debate revolves around whether C.C., the female lead, will die.

These speculations were answered in the subsequent second season, episodes seven and eight.

From the beginning, "Code Geass" was fundamentally a science fiction series.

However, the Geass ability added elements of fantasy to the science fiction.

And when the goals of characters like C.C., VV, and Charles were revealed, it became somewhat mythological and mystical.

In short, individuals like VV and C.C. who can grant others the Geass ability can, under specific conditions, transfer their power to others, and those who obtain their power can exhibit abilities beyond those in the conventional world through specific conditions.

Chinese viewers, unfamiliar with "Evangelion," found this plot somewhat difficult to understand.

However, for anime fans of Su Yan's previous life, Lelouch's father's ultimate dream was to use Geass and the Code power from C.C. and VV to complete a Human Instrumentality Project-like operation, similar to what was in "Evangelion."

Of course, this type of plot exists in many anime from Su Yan's previous life, such as the Infinite Tsukuyomi in "Naruto," which is a similar concept.

However, all of this required C.C. to sacrifice her life to achieve, so Lelouch decisively resisted and rescued C.C.

This plot twist can be considered quite abrupt.

Although the special nature of Kamine Island had been foreshadowed since the first season, and the uniqueness of Geass and C.C. had been revealed from the first episode, accepting this setting definitely takes time.

This time, Lelouch's confrontation with his father ultimately resulted in a mutual defeat.

Charles did not obtain C.C.'s power, but on Lelouch's side, C.C. also lost her memory.

From then on, Lelouch's plot began to tie up loose ends, moving towards its final conclusion.

Originally, everyone thought Lelouch and Suzaku would engage in a love-hate relationship until the end, but although Suzaku did not forgive Lelouch, he chose to stand with Lelouch after learning the truth to save Nunnally.

Then, the role of Second Prince Schneizel, which had been foreshadowed since the first season, began to increase significantly.

As depicted in the plot, he was the only one among Charles' children with higher intelligence than Lelouch, and his initial actions did cause Lelouch considerable trouble.

Adding to the fact that Lelouch's weakness, Nunnally, was still in his hands, Lelouch also unified all the forces in the world except for the Britannia Empire in this process, integrating them to create a new alliance, the United Federation of Nations.

Soon, episodes eight and nine of the series were broadcast.

In the end, Lelouch was undermined when Schneizel revealed his identity as a Britannian prince. Of course, the Black Knights under Lelouch's command would not abandon him simply because he was an imperial prince.

But the problem was that Schneizel possessed the fact that Lelouch used his Geass ability to manipulate Euphemia to massacre the people of Area 11.

Now, the army, whose backbone was composed of people from Area 11, finally collectively rebelled.

Lelouch lost everything and became a lone wolf. The Black Knights' rebellion, his sister Nunnally's denouncement after knowing the truth, and Kallen...

In the Tokyo area, a large number of fans and reporters were preparing to surround and ambush Su Yan every day downstairs from his company.

"Code Geass" basically trended on social media every day.

The show's ratings had risen to 7.23%. Leaving aside the special cases in the old days of the television industry when an entire country had only six or seven channels, many areas of Xia Country did not have electricity, and ratings could soar to 50%, the ratings achievement of "Code Geass" could be said to be the peak of the last thirty years.

Not only did the average paid views per episode on the internet repeatedly break records, but the sales of peripheral products were also creating records.

The "Gundam" series was still in production, but the mecha and various warship models from the "Code Geass" series were already hotly speculated in the market, laying a good foundation for the "Gundam" series market.

"There's less than a month left until 'Code Geass' ends," said Shinozaki Ikumi, wearing thick clothes, still exceptionally beautiful, lying on her exclusive swivel chair in Su Yan's office.

"I feel like, although 'Code Geass' has broken records again, I can't get excited anymore."

"That's normal. Before becoming number one, every step forward is joyful. After becoming number one, you'll be afraid of being surpassed. But after so long, you'll find that there are no opponents in the market, and you'll start to feel bored, even having a sense of how lonely it is to be invincible," Su Yan said with a smile.

Xia Country is so big, there are certainly many talented creators, but the film and television industry is a comprehensive industry that considers all factors.

Some creators may only be able to create a classic work in their lifetime, but the script may not be appreciated by investors and will eventually be buried.

Some creators are consistently prolific, but the quality of their work is average, and the work can only be popular, not a massive hit.

But Su Yan is different. The works he produces have been tested by the market in his previous life, and he has accumulated a wealth of capital after developing continuously for so many years.

It can be said that he has money and strength. Even if there are some genius creators in the Xia Country market, their works will definitely not have as much investment as Su Yan's works, and the quality of the finished products will be lower than Su Yan's works, so they will not be able to compete with Su Yan's works.

In the current situation, after a few years, or even ten years, Xia Country will definitely have a large number of genius creators who have grown up under the influence of Su Yan's works.

Perhaps there will be geniuses among them who are not inferior to Oda, Kishimoto, or Togashi Yoshihiro from Su Yan's previous life, and they will be able to create works that are popular all over the world, but...

By that time, Su Yan will basically control the market power of the entire Xia Country film and television industry. Even if these geniuses rise, Su Yan is not stupid and will definitely sign them to his company early with generous conditions.

The most buggy thing about Su Yan in this world is not that he can produce good works, but that he can continuously produce a bunch of good works for several years, or even decades, continuously controlling the market. It is almost impossible for individual creators to rise and grow to where Su Yan is now in the market.

It is difficult for Shinozaki Ikumi to experience the excitement of waiting for the release of viewership data every week and anxiously counting whether the viewership ranking is number one, as she did in previous years.

"I'm only 28 years old! I feel like I've achieved my life goals..." Shinozaki Ikumi sighed.

"Xia Country's film and television industry has reached the top, and in overseas countries, 'Code Geass' is also the top-rated show in more than 90% of the regions where it's broadcast. When 'Gundam' is broadcast, the data will be even more exaggerated..."

"Isn't that a good thing?" Su Yan said with a smile.

"Of course it's good, but it's also boring," Shinozaki Ikumi said.

"You..." Su Yan paused, holding back a word.

Although they were close, jokes couldn't be made like that, and only replied with a sentence.

"You're just being pretentious."

"Heh, pretentious is pretentious. But Su Yan, what you said before, that Dimensional Film and Television Company will become the largest and most well-known film, television, and game company in the world, is that true?" Shinozaki Ikumi said at this time.

"What, are you starting to set new life goals? When I talked about this topic before, you still looked uninterested, saying that the company only needs to be number one in Xia Country," Su Yan said.

"Wasn't that because before you, no one in Xia Country had ever brought a film and television drama to foreign countries and made it so popular!" Shinozaki Ikumi said.

"My thinking is definitely keeping up with the times, and now I have high hopes for the 'Gundam' series and the two dramas. But it's still hard to imagine that just these two dramas can completely open up the foreign market. In fact, I find 'Code Geass' more attractive than 'Gundam'."

"That's normal. The 'Gundam' series is inherently more liked by boys."

"You say that as if the two works haven't even been released yet, and you already know this data," Shinozaki Ikumi chuckled.

"Also, the company's future efforts to penetrate the global market will definitely not be limited to these two works," Su Yan did not answer her previous question.

"In the next year or two, I will be releasing a series of long film and television dramas, and even series of movie scripts. Well, let me think, the company must start planning a five-year, ten-year development plan..."

New works, long series?

Shinozaki Ikumi remembered the keywords in Su Yan's words after hearing them once.

Although she really wanted to dig deeper and even ask Su Yan how he had time to create new works under such high-intensity work.

But she still restrained herself. Although she was very familiar with Su Yan, the most important thing in interpersonal relationships was a sense of distance. Even parents and children had things they couldn't say, let alone her and Su Yan?

It was also inappropriate to ask about topics such as why Su Yan's creation speed was so efficient and whether there were any secrets.

November ended, and time came to December.

In the latest tenth episode of "Code Geass," another scene that silenced fans around the world appeared.

Before this, Lelouch's fake younger brother, Rolo, whose reputation had dropped to the lowest point due to Shirley's death, had already topped the list of the most hated characters in this work among many "Code Geass" fans.

He even replaced Suzaku, who had held the top spot on this list for five months.

But after this episode, his reputation immediately changed drastically.

Lelouch was betrayed by the Black Knights, denounced by Nunnally, and hunted down by his older brother Schneizel, who controlled the Britannian army.

It could be said that he was an enemy of the world.

But at this time, the only person who stood up to help Lelouch was Rolo.

Lelouch's feelings for him were fake, but his feelings for Lelouch were real.

His Geass ability was to temporarily stop the brain activity of enemies within a range. To the enemy, it was as if this time had been stolen, and the whole person was stunned, like a vegetable, at the mercy of others. But each time he activated the ability, it would bring a huge load to his heart.

In order to help Lelouch escape the encirclement, Rolo used his Geass ability in a short time, at high density, and over a large area.

Because Lelouch, who had lost his will to live because even Nunnally had misunderstood him, didn't bother to pretend at this time.

He said that he had been using him all along, had never treated him as a younger brother, and had only not killed him in order to make his double agent role work, and even hated him because of Shirley's death.

But Rolo ignored it and used his Geass ability again and again to help Lelouch break through.

Until finally, his heart could not bear the load and completely died.

"Brother, is a liar, those, are all fake, right, saying that you wanted to kill me, that you hated me."

Rolo fell under a tree, looking at Lelouch with his last strength in the light shining through the gaps in the leaves.

"Is that so? You saw through everything!" Lelouch finally showed him a smile, speaking in his brother's tone.

But this time, there was no hypocrisy or pretense, but a genuine acceptance of him.

"As expected of my younger brother!"

A character who had been hated for two months, and whom countless people had discussed how to make him suffer in forums, completely brought countless "Code Geass" fans to tears in this episode.

And Lelouch, throughout the two seasons of the plot, reached a truly desperate bottom.

He faced a situation where he was jointly hunted down by Britannia and the Black Knights he had created, the two major military powers in the world today.

In the words of "Code Geass" fans, they were Lelouch and had no idea how to break the situation. Suicide was probably the easiest way.

"Old thief, there are only three weeks left, how are you going to end this drama? Will there be a third season?"

"You made me cry. Rolo..."

"I've discovered that a good work portrays the protagonist well, and a masterpiece often portrays the supporting characters touchingly."

"They complement each other. Without god-level supporting characters, where would the god-level protagonist come from? Tonight, Rolo and Lelouch's brotherhood, I would call it the best in the entire work! Compared to that, what is Nunnally? I think this character is purely a vase, and also a saint and stupid!"

"Shirley, Euphemia, and now Rolo is added. How many more people are going to die in this drama, old thief?"

"This fake younger brother Rolo is real, and there is nothing to say to Lelouch."

"I'm directly crying like a tough guy."

"I've deleted all the posts I posted online in the past three weeks insulting Rolo."

"Give me a rush, Lelouch!"

"There are only three episodes left, and the atmosphere has been laid out here! Give me an ending that is even more super god than the previous plot!"

"Until now, I don't know how the plot of this drama will develop. Lelouch is alone, the Black Knights want to kill him, and his Britannian emperor father also wants to kill him. How will this situation be reversed?"

"No, is C.C. still around? Lolo is loyal to Lelouch, but he's human and will die. But C.C. won't; she's immortal. As long as C.C. is still there, I'll always feel like Lelouch won't fail!"

"This series is the story of Lelouch and C.C. redeeming each other."

"And Suzaku, I feel like even though he'll never forgive Lelouch, he'll definitely help Lelouch in the end. For justice and for his ideals. Lelouch's methods are wrong, but he is truly changing the world and changing the rule of the Britannian Empire."

"It's the end of the year, Su Yan, you old thief. I hope your plot doesn't fall apart. This series is truly the number one series in my heart. Please don't ruin it!"

During the first week of December, the latest episode of Lelouch drove fans completely crazy.

Lolo's death brought fans a level of depression no less than the deaths of Shirley and Euphemia before.

This character's reputation completely recovered with his death, while Suzaku,

the character with the worst reputation from the beginning of the series, once again became the top of the list of the most hated characters in the entire work.

Dimensional Pictures and the TV station are also fully launching their efforts during this end-of-year period to carry out the final promotion for the completion of Lelouch.

Even in some overseas countries, the ardent fans of Lelouch have begun to spontaneously cosplay, cosplaying on the streets and at various popular event venues, actively promoting the completion of the series.
