Depressive Screenwriter

"明明 the scene looks so joyful, and the two are so considerate of each other. Why... is it so sad?"

Is it because Shi Linghua already understands that Shen Buyan's departure is an established fact?

She took a deep breath.

People who like depressing dramas are not immune to sadness; on the contrary, they are often more sensitive and experience things more deeply.

It's just that the more depressing the plot, the more it attracts her to keep watching.

Although many viewers are fantasizing that Shen Buyan can stay in this era.

But after watching episode thirteen, Shi Linghua increasingly felt that it was impossible.

Writing sorrow through joy, that's the atmosphere of this episode.

Perhaps, the key information to change Lu Yuan's ending will be revealed in episode fourteen?

At least Shi Linghua doesn't doubt the information previously released online by the screenwriter Su Yan, the spoiler that Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan will realize their wishes.

Bei Lie attacked Fire Beacon Fortress, and Li Yong summoned Lu Yuan to assist in collecting some information.

Although Lu Yuan was reluctant to part with Shen Buyan, she chose to accept Li Yong's mission for the sake of the country.

She found Shen Buyan before leaving.

And returned his jade pendant to him.

Shen Buyan's expression became uneasy as he looked at the jade pendant.

When the sentimental BGM started playing, Shi Linghua suddenly had a premonition of what the next plot would be.

No way...

This...

Is this the last time they'll see each other?

【I am going to a place and must leave today... but I won't make you wait too long.】 Lu Yuan said.

【Lu Yuan, I... I want to give this to you.】 Shen Buyan looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and he understood everything.

He handed the jade pendant to Lu Yuan.

At this moment, the scenes from the drama began to rewind.

Shen Buyan's separation from 18-year-old Lu Yuan at this moment.

Shen Buyan and 21-year-old Lu Yuan's reunion after three years on the Shangsi Festival night, and the sudden farewell inside and outside the carriage curtain in the final imperial capital suburbs of the third time travel.

The second time travel, Shen Buyan died in the arms of 26-year-old Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan relied on her status as empress to contend with Li Yong for ten years.

36-year-old Lu Yuan waited for ten years, dressed in a red dress, waiting for the arrival of Shen Buyan, whom she first met, and finally, in order to save Shen Buyan, died in his arms.

This jade pendant had gone through thousands of years, broken into five pieces, and was bought by modern Shen Buyan, starting his four time travels.

【Then, does this count as a token between us?】 Lu Yuan asked.

Shen Buyan smiled in relief.

【It does. With it, I will always be with you.】

Lu Yuan gently kissed Shen Buyan on the lips.

【Shen Buyan, goodbye...】

【You have to wait for me to come back, okay?】

Lu Yuan smiled, turned around, and left.

Shen Buyan watched her back.

The next shot.

There was no Lu Yuan or Shen Buyan by Nanmeng Lake.

With this departure, Lu Yuan would not see Shen Buyan again until she was 21 years old, three years later.

And Shen Buyan...

Would never see Lu Yuan again.

The ending song started.

At this moment, Shi Linghua felt as if her heart had been hammered hard several times.

An unspeakable feeling of discomfort arose.

She had actually expected it long ago.

This episode had been foreshadowing the separation of the two from the very beginning.

This was the last time Shen Buyan and Lu Yuan would meet.

He returned to modern times, separated from Lu Yuan by thousands of years of history, and from then on, they would never be able to see each other again.

Shi Linghua opened the comment section of Sakura Net.

As expected, it was full of viewers who were tormented by the plot.

The plot of the thirteenth episode exceeded the imagination of most viewers.

"Is this the last meeting between Shen Buyan and Lu Yuan?"

"I understand Lu Yuan's feelings in the first episode now."

"Don't worry, there's still episode fourteen. The turning point is all in episode fourteen."

"That's right. The screenwriter said that the ending will allow the two to realize their wishes."

"The sadness of the thirteenth episode is just an illusion. The fourteenth episode is the real happy ending."

"I don't know how much I would have cried if the screenwriter hadn't spoiled it in advance after seeing this episode's plot?"

"But how can this situation be resolved now? The historical loop is closed!"

"How to break it? I know I'm the screenwriter. This kind of thing depends on how the old thief Su Yan writes it."

"I feel that the old man selling jade in modern times is very suspicious. Could she be a goddess?"

"That's too much."

"I don't care. As long as the screenwriter can let Shen Buyan travel back and change everything, I won't give a bad review even if the screenwriter writes it this way."

Overnight, the comment section of Ancient Love Song had more than ten thousand new comments.

The next day at noon,

The viewership rating of the thirteenth episode of Ancient Love Song broke through 3.81%, and it is basically certain that it will surpass the viewership rating of the yet-to-be-broadcast thirteenth episode of Mind Reader this week, ranking fourth in the quarter.

Its average paid views per episode on Sakura Net also just exceeded 8.4 million, becoming the drama with the best viewing data among all the dramas that landed on the online broadcasting platform this quarter.

After this result was announced throughout the industry, people in the entire television industry found something was wrong.

This result...

It's fine if it exceeds Mind Reader's 3.68% last week.

Even compared with the viewership rating of 3.93% for the twelfth episode of Gilded last week, the difference is not big!

And those media news dared to think and write a lot.

Exaggerated titles of drafted articles are directly listed.

【The viewership rating of the thirteenth episode of Ancient Love Song continues to rise sharply. Is it possible to defy the heavens and kill the three gods in the last episode?】

【The counterattack of a C-level drama, Ancient Love Song tells the industry that investment is not everything, the script is the soul.】

【The ultimate romance brought to the industry by the genius screenwriter Su Yan. After Ancient Love Song, perhaps the time-travel genre will become popular in the Xia country's film and television industry.】

【Genius screenwriter Su Yan encountered suppression on Sakura TV. Famous film critic Li Li boldly disclosed the internal political struggle of Sakura TV. Analyzing the love-hate relationship between Su Yan, Kiyota Sanji, and the Deputy Minister of the Production Department, Akasaka Yoshishi.】

【It is rumored that Su Yan's new work, To the Moon, will premiere at 9:00 PM on Saturday, January 11th. Less than two weeks after the completion of Ancient Love Song, Su Yan's new drama will set sail again. Perhaps, To the Moon will achieve better results than Ancient Love Song.】

【The fans of Ancient Love Song are indignant and collectively leave messages online, saying that if the ending of Ancient Love Song is not a happy ending, they will collectively boycott Su Yan's next work.】

【Out of nowhere, the genius screenwriter Su Yan may bring a huge impact to the Xia country's film and television industry.】

【Someone like Su Yan is a true genius who is not bound by the schedule. And Kiyota Sanji, a fake genius, his new drama's viewership rating has failed to enter the top ten for two consecutive weeks.】

【Perhaps the three A-level drama crews of the three major TV stations are going to be afraid. Whoever is surpassed by Ancient Love Song in the viewership rating in the last week will become a big joke in the film and television industry.】

In the To the Moon crew, Su Yan and Shinozaki Ikumi, who were filming the first episode of this drama, were happy with the results of the thirteenth episode of Ancient Love Song.

However, the busy work diluted the emotions of the two, after all, the To the Moon crew had just started, and many things were pressing on their heads.

However, for the crew members of the three dramas Gilded, Lone Doctor, and Painting People, the tension was at its peak at this time.

They are the crews of A-level dramas.

If a C-level drama surpasses them in viewership rating, even if it's only for one week... they can't imagine how big the rhythm will be at that time.

They originally thought that the viewership rating of Ancient Love Song would reach a maximum of 3.7% and would not increase.

Who knew that at the end of the quarter, so many new viewers would enter the new pit from the online broadcasting website?

But after thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. At the end of the quarter, after many dramas with only eleven or twelve episodes are completed, many drama fans can't find new dramas to watch. At this time, Ancient Love Song, the highest-rated film and television drama of the entire quarter, naturally comes into view.

These three dramas only have 13 episodes and will be broadcast and completed this week in late December.

And Ancient Love Song will broadcast the fourteenth episode on Monday morning after Sunday.

Strictly speaking, the 13th episode of the three dramas will not be compared with the viewership rating of the 14th episode of Ancient Love Song.

But who cares about these things among the media, peers, and even the audience?

The viewership ratings of the finale of your works will definitely be compared together.

Especially Gilded, its highest viewership rating this quarter is only 3.96%. If the viewership rating of the last episode of Ancient Love Song rises from 3.81% to higher than this data...

Then nothing else needs to be said.

Those reasons are useless.

It must be a big loss of face.

The media will definitely not let go of this kind of news, and the most extreme mocking articles will be reported overwhelmingly.

As for Lone Doctor, which has the highest viewership rating of 4.11% this quarter, and Painting People, which has the highest viewership rating of 4.17%, the burden is much smaller.

They have a great advantage.

The crew members of these two dramas actually wanted to see the joke of Gilded.

Gilded and Ancient Love Song are the two best-performing dramas on Sakura TV this quarter.

Who can make a perfect ending?

Is it Ancient Love Song that creates history?

Or is it Gilded that defends its last dignity?

The result is still suspenseful.

Even if it's only for one week, a C-level drama that premiered in the midnight slot surpasses an A-level drama that premiered in the golden slot in viewership rating.

Su Yan directly creates history and completely stabilizes his position on Sakura TV.

As for the main creators of the Gilded crew, they will become a laughing stock in the industry for a long time to come.
