Depressive Screenwriter

Weren't these two just acquaintances from school during middle school?

At this moment, something seemed to click.

Shinozaki Ikumi's expression turned serious as the dry text transformed into images in her mind.

A girl and a boy meeting under the moonlight.

In less than two minutes, Shinozaki Ikumi's eyes turned red.

What is this!

At this moment, she finally understood what Su Yan's first six episodes of the script were building up to.

When all the mysteries were unraveled.

An uncontrollable sadness washed over her, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

"To the Moon," Shinozaki Ikumi raised her head to look at Su Yan, who had been watching her.

"Xu Han, he doesn't just want to go to the moon? What he wants is."

"Su Yan," Shinozaki Ikumi paused, not finishing her sentence, and instead looked at Su Yan.

"Was your childhood very tragic?"

"Huh?" Su Yan's expression was bewildered.

Enjoying the moment when others are tormented by these depressing works is Su Yan's personal pleasure. He was enjoying it when Shinozaki Ikumi contributed a bit of emotional value to him. Why did Shinozaki Ikumi suddenly say such a thing?

"No, my childhood was fine!"

Of course, Su Yan was referring to his childhood in his previous life.

"Then why are your works always like this?" Shinozaki Ikumi wanted to be subtle, but she couldn't help it.

"Always so sad, it makes people feel like the screenwriter had a terrible childhood, and is integrating their own tragic experiences into the work to take revenge on the world."

Yeah, you and I think the same thing. In fact, I felt the same way when I watched these works in my previous life.

But Su Yan certainly couldn't say that, so he changed the subject.

"It's not that exaggerated, is it?"

"In the end, I will write the plot of Xu Han going to the moon in this drama. Isn't that a happy ending?" Su Yan said with a smile.

"Happy ending my ass?" Shinozaki Ikumi's eyes carried a hint of grief and indignation.

"You and I both know that for the protagonist Xu Han, that's a fake trip to the moon! Xu Han may have realized his wish to go to the moon before he died. What about Xiao Xi... she didn't know until she died why Xu Han couldn't recognize the meaning of the rabbit. She must have thought that Xu Han had long forgotten her."

Speaking of this, Shinozaki Ikumi recalled the scene from the second episode of To the Moon that aired last night.

Combining that with Qiu Junlin and Takesawa Kayono's acting skills, Shinozaki Ikumi, who had a strong ability to empathize, already felt a bit empty inside.

"Life is always imperfect! A touching story is often like that," Su Yan thought for a moment and said with a smile.

"Although going to the moon is just Xu Han's dream, it's fake. But the emotion this story brings to you, to all the audience in Xia, is real."

"The reason I gave you the script so early this time is because I think you can understand this point. You can't possibly want me to rewrite the script, can you?"

"Rewrite what?"

"I've already been tormented, how can I let those fans off so easily? Everyone, suffer with me."

"See, I told you that you and I are the same kind of people," Su Yan said with a smile after hearing this.

In the crew, the scenes of the elderly Xu Han and Xiao Xi were almost finished. Qiu Junlin and Takesawa Kayono quickly received the script for the seventh episode of To the Moon from Shinozaki Ikumi.

After a long time, the two of them looked deeply at Su Yan.

The unhappiness that those media articles had caused the two of them instantly dissipated.

"So that's what To the Moon means. Fortunately, I listened to Junlin's advice and took on this drama," Takesawa Kayono said.

At this moment, she had no more doubts about this drama or about Su Yan.

"This drama will definitely receive good reviews, definitely, it will win awards..."

Takesawa Kayono didn't say that the drama's ratings would be a hit.

Good works don't necessarily have high ratings.

But good works are good.

You can tell its value just by looking at the script.

Even if the drama's ratings were unsatisfactory later, Takesawa Kayono would not regret taking on its filming contract.

Soon, a new week passed.

The top four in ratings were still those four A-level dramas.

The fourth week of the winter season arrived.

The third episode of To the Moon premiered.

In this episode, Dr. Cheng Li and Dr. Shen Yi continue to explore Xu Han's memories.

They arrived at the middle-aged and elderly period of the two.

Here, it was revealed why Xiao Xi always had something to say but never said it to Xu Han.

Xiao Xi had been an autistic patient since she was a child.

She wanted to communicate with the outside world, but she couldn't express her emotions.

It's difficult for normal people to understand what this state is like, but in reality, there are people with this disease in Xia, so many audiences who like to research finally understood why in the second episode.

Why did Xiao Xi use a paper rabbit to ask Xu Han [What exactly did you think of?].

She couldn't express it, so she could only use this method, hoping that Xu Han could realize what she was really thinking in her heart.

But.

Until Xiao Xi fell ill and died, Xu Han didn't even once answer Xiao Xi's question correctly.

[What does the paper rabbit represent?]

Xu Han... he didn't know!

At this point, the memories of the elderly Xu Han and Xiao Xi ended.

Cheng Li and Shen Yi continued to explore the truth by going back to the time period of the young Xu Han's memories.

Here, the two learned that "Anya" was the name of the lighthouse next to the wooden house.

Xiao Xi gave it that name.

When this truth was revealed, a group of television viewers looked confused.

In the second episode, when Xiao Xi was sick and about to die, she actually wanted Xu Han to use all his money to build a house for a lighthouse, so that Xu Han could accompany the lighthouse in the future.

Saying that taking good care of the lighthouse was her greatest wish.

What kind of thought process is this?

Many viewers actually guessed that Anya might be the name of their daughter, and now they felt a little tricked.

What's the meaning of a deserted lighthouse on a cliff?

The person Xu Han really wants to be with is Xiao Xi, not the lighthouse!

Or is it that the lighthouse also represents some special meaning?

And after that.

The memories went back even further to Xu Han's youth.

The two doctors came to a night.

The young Xiao Xi was beautiful, and the young Xu Han was handsome.

The couple sat on a wooden stake in front of the lighthouse.

[So, is that why you approached me in the first place?]

Xiao Xi's expression became very sad.

But her illness prevented her from expressing more of her inner emotions.

[Yes.] Xu Han looked at his wife somewhat blankly, not knowing why she was feeling down.

Xiao Xi took out a sandbag from her pocket.

She wanted to see something in Xu Han's eyes.

But she was disappointed, Xu Han didn't realize anything.

[You, throw it over to Anya.]

Xiao Xi handed the sandbag to Xu Han, pointed to the lighthouse, her eyes were a little sad, but also a little expectant.

Expecting what Xu Han would do.

The lighthouse, the sandbag... she seemed to be hinting at something, hoping to use these clues to make Xu Han remember something.

But Xu Han didn't notice anything, he waved his hand, and the sandbag drew a beautiful parabola in the air, falling into the sea under the cliff.

At that moment, Xiao Xi's expression was as sad as if her heart was broken.

She rushed to the cliff like crazy, wanting to jump down and retrieve her sandbag.

But she was pulled back by Xu Han, and in the end, she could only watch helplessly as the sandbag sank into the sea.

The third episode ended with Xiao Xi's sad and desperate expression.

This scene, combined with the music, made many viewers feel a sting in their hearts.

In fact, even those viewers who still knew nothing about John's wish [To the Moon] already felt a little depressed.

That's the atmosphere of this drama.

Everyone already had a premonition that when all the mysteries of the story were revealed, perhaps that answer would be very sad.

That night, many viewers who had followed from Rurouni Kenshin and Ballad of the Primordial World left messages in the comment section.

[Don't be afraid, I can still hold on!]

Based on the style of Su Yan's past works, everyone had already begun to build a defensive fortress in their minds in advance.

The next day, the ratings for the third episode of To the Moon were released.

3.42%.

The ratings were about the same as last week, with only a 0.01% difference.

However, the drama that was originally ninth last week slightly increased its ratings this week, from 3.39% to 3.44%, squeezing out To the Moon's eighth place in the ratings order.

This caused To the Moon's ratings ranking to drop to ninth.

Now, many black fans who had been paying attention to this drama and some colleagues who had been surpassed by Su Yan's Ballad of the Primordial World in various rankings last season and were jealous of Su Yan finally found the argument that To the Moon would flop.

Su Yan's works, from Rurouni Kenshin to Ballad of the Primordial World, have always increased in data and rankings.

Dropping from eighth place to ninth place is the first time there has been a precedent for a decline in performance statistics.

Young geniuses are always the focus of public opinion, and the dark side of people's hearts always likes to watch these people have bad luck.

Compared to the public opinion environment after the premiere of the second episode of To the Moon, the environment after the premiere of the third episode was actually a little worse.

But the people in the To the Moon crew, including Shinozaki Ikumi, who has always been prone to anxiety, no longer paid attention to these online comments.

They all understood that the plot behind To the Moon would soon start to gain momentum.

And.

The Xia Yan Award awards ceremony is just a few days away.

Thank you for the rewards from Super Electromagnetic Fireworks Light Music, Qiaogeli Feng, and Learner Knowledge.

Thank you, boss.
