Depressive Screenwriter

Monday afternoon, inside Sakura TV station.

"We're done for!"

"Madoka Magica's second episode got a 5.2% rating."

"Will Director Akasaka really be dismissed by the board?"

"Not sure, don't discuss things we shouldn't be discussing."

"How is Su Yan so amazing? Did he really just do odd jobs in the scriptwriting department for two years back then?"

This book is first published on the entire network by 𝚝𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞

"Xia Guo's number one lucky star in the TV drama industry, Ayumi Shinozaki. Her track record as a producer is glorious, but she only made two right decisions in her life. Pulling Su Yan out from the pile of newbies in the scriptwriting department, and then, leaving Sakura TV with Su Yan."

"At least eight or nine producers in the station are regretting it immensely now. Back then, Su Yan's Rurouni Kenshin script was delivered to their offices, but these people didn't bother to spend half an hour reading Su Yan's script."

"Don't even mention those producers, even Akasaka Yoshitoki is regretting it immensely now."

"Isn't it normal for the head of the production department to suppress any newcomer in the station they don't like? He's just unlucky to have met a freak like Su Yan, who only appears once in a hundred years."

"There's no turning back now, and there's no medicine for regret. He has to take the blame for being the first one to let go of a genius like Su Yan."

"Do you think Director Akasaka has a chance to turn things around?"

"Probably not. It's been so long since Su Yan left the TV station. The station has spent hundreds of millions, producing many works to try and win the annual championship, but in the end, they didn't even get the quarterly championship. Every time, they were blocked by Su Yan's works. The board is very angry with Akasaka Yoshitoki now. Someone has to be responsible for the stock price decline anyway. Let's just see how the last two months go. See if the later episodes of 'Unparalleled' can make a comeback."

"It's difficult! Su Yan's works are famous for getting stronger in the later stages. Now they can't even compete in the early stages, let alone the later stages? It's better to learn from Shanghai TV station, knowing it's difficult to get the quarterly championship, they just don't care about this quarter."

"There's no way, Director Akasaka is being forced to do it. He has no choice in this matter."

Akasaka Yoshitoki sat in his chair, somewhat dazed.

Although he didn't hear the people at the TV station talking about him, he knew what they would probably say.

He didn't know how to describe his mood at this time.

Before the April spring season is completely over, there is still a chance.

But despair has already spread in his heart, in the production department, and within Sakura TV station.

Some of his producers have already started contacting Ogata Aya, wanting to switch camps.

An atmosphere of impending storm enveloped Akasaka Yoshitoki's heart.

Looking at the 5.2% viewership rating for the second episode of Madoka Magica on the document, even he, whose life motto is to never regret the past, found it difficult to maintain his composure.

"I've struggled for decades to achieve what I have today, what right do you have?" Akasaka Yoshitoki slammed his fist on the table.

Knowing that he was just venting his anger uselessly, but if he didn't vent, he would lose control of his emotions and feel disgusted and want to vomit.

How could there be such a person in this world!

Starting on Tuesday, taking advantage of the increased discussion about Madoka Magica due to the Mami Tomoe's beheading plot.

Su Yan also began to release movie news about 5 Centimeters Per Second on the official website and major platforms.

Actor makeup photos, scenery pictures, behind-the-scenes snippets, etc.

Although it was still three months before the movie's release, related publicity could begin, the only difference was that the intensity wasn't as great.

At the same time, Su Yan also had a lot of time to spare to deal with reporters' interviews because of the reduced filming work.

In the process, Su Yan would also promote 5 Centimeters Per Second and I Fell in Love Like a Flower Bouquet together, but this week, Su Yan's fans also learned a lot about the Madoka Magica drama from Su Yan's fan meetings and reporter interviews.

Mami Tomoe will appear again in the subsequent plot.

Homura Akemi is not a bad person.

The plot of this drama will subvert everyone's perception later on.

And, wishing is omnipotent, but to what extent it is omnipotent depends on the aptitude of the person who wants to become a magical girl.

And

Whether this drama is ultimately depressing?

Su Yan made it clear that the ending is very happy.

Su Yan's words were ambiguous, but many viewers felt relieved after hearing this.

It's good as long as it's not depressing.

As for Su Yan's answer, he wasn't lying.

Mami Tomoe will indeed appear later, but in Homura Akemi's memories of other timelines.

And there are also related plots in the Rebellion Story plot.

And because the Rebellion Story was introduced to supplement the plot, the final ending is that everyone lives in the fake world constructed by Homura Akemi.

This is of course a happy ending.

A fake happy ending is also a happy ending!

As for the viewing experience, that's not important.

Time came to Friday.

The third episode of Unparalleled was broadcast, but the increase in viewership had weakened.

This episode's viewership was 5.15%, which was almost no different from the previous week.

The media in Xia Guo no longer restrained themselves at this time, and the matter between Su Yan and Akasaka Yoshitoki was brought up again and again.

There was no way, no matter how many times this kind of face-slapping event in real life was mentioned, it would still have huge attention.

Being suppressed at the beginning of his career, leaving his old company under the pressure of his leader, and now suppressing the performance of his former leader after making achievements, almost forcing his former leader to step down.

All the TV drama fans in Xia Guo naturally had a strong sense of empathy for Su Yan's experiences in the past few years.

They were watching the increasingly high viewership of Madoka Magica and the feud between Su Yan and Akasaka Yoshitoki with a mentality of enjoying the show.

But in the end.

Judging from the current situation, this farce seems to be coming to an end this quarter.

After all, no matter how you look at it, Unparalleled, whose viewership increase has slowed down after only three episodes, and Madoka Magica, which is on the rise, the gap will only widen as time goes on.

On Sunday, the comment section of Madoka Magica became active again.

In the evening, the third episode was successfully broadcast.

And this episode did not have any unexpected developments like the second episode.

But in this episode, the character Kamijou Kyouosuke, played by Su Yan, who was anticipated by thousands of viewers, appeared.

A boy who can only be hospitalized for a long time due to illness, unable to play the violin and abandon the path of music.

However, Sayaka likes him.

From the moment this character appeared, the audience of Madoka Magica knew what wish Sayaka would make to become a magical girl.

And the subsequent plot was indeed as everyone guessed.

A crisis broke out in the city, and Sayaka made a wish to eliminate Kamijou Kyousuke's pain and became a magical girl.

Both saving the boy she has a crush on.

Also saving her best friend Madoka, who was caught in the witch's barrier, in a moment of crisis.

[Mami-senpai, my wish has come true!]

The ending of the third episode is when Sayaka, with a happy smile, watches Kamijou Kyousuke, played by Su Yan, play the violin again when his pain disappears.

Although the impact of the beheading plot in the second episode has not been eliminated.

But the overall direction seems to be returning to normal and becoming happy again.

Sayaka's blue transformation.

The handsome magical girl posture, the heroic and sassy battle, the smile without regrets.

It's just

"Is Su Yan playing his own梗？ Kamijou Kyousuke's persona is too much like Kaori Miyazono, right? Isn't it just directly applying Kaori Miyazono's background to Kamijou Kyousuke?"

"Even genius screenwriters can be lazy! The same genius violinist, the same ALS-like symptoms, but in this drama, Kamijou Kyousuke has Sayaka make a wish for him, recovering his health at the cost of becoming a magical girl. In April, Kaori Miyazono was purely metaphysics!"

"Maybe the worldviews of Your Lie in April and Madoka Magica are connected! Maybe there is someone who has a crush on Kaori Miyazono who also made a wish like this, so that she can successfully stand up in the if-line ending."

"Kaori Miyazono is a woman!"

"Don't be so narrow-minded!"

"But to be honest, seeing the character played by Su Yan is still very touching. Your Lie in April has been broadcast for almost two years!"

"This character reminds me of when I was watching April, sigh."

"But I have a question. If there is really a chance, a chance to fulfill all wishes. Is the price of becoming a magical girl really that simple?"

"What do you mean?"

"Generally speaking, there is a price to pay for fulfilling wishes! And is becoming a magical girl really something that can be called a price? Isn't that a reward?"

"That's right, becoming a magical girl and mastering great power, how can it be called the price of making a wish? Su Yan's setting is very strange. Anyway, if it were me, even if you didn't give me this chance to make a wish, I would want to become a magical girl."

"Emmm but fighting witches is dangerous!"

"Anyway, I feel weird. I always feel that there must be something that has not been explained about the setting of the magical girl. Otherwise, Homura Akemi would not repeatedly remind Madoka not to become a magical girl."

"Anyway, let's keep watching. I also feel that this drama is not simple. At first, I just thought it was an ordinary superpower drama, but after seeing it now, I found that it is completely different from what I imagined."

"At least Su Yan said in an interview that Mami Tomoe will appear in the later stages of Madoka Magica, and it will also be a happy ending. As long as I know this clearly, I won't panic at all!"

The next day, the viewership of the three episodes of Madoka Magica was announced.

5.26%

Compared to the second episode of this drama, this viewership increase is actually very average.

After all, the plot rhythm of the third episode is a bit slow, and the story only stays on Madoka and Sayaka being confused by Mami Tomoe's death.

Although there are also the fighting scenes that the audience likes.

But the scenes mainly focus on Sayaka.

The two most popular kings of this work, Homura Akemi played by Gu Qingyuan and Shen Liqian played by Shen Liqian, basically did not have too many performances in this episode.

But for Su Yan, if the viewership of the work does not increase as expected, then the media, black fans, etc., will all find fun.
