Depressive Screenwriter

#197 - A story of audition and rebellion

Ikumi Shinozaki acted quickly, and in less than two days, she and the company's team and assistants compiled the information on the Rurouni Kenshin movie and the various characters appearing in Fate/Zero. Then, using industry connections, she sent the relevant character information list to various influential entertainment companies in the industry.

The current Dimensional Films is not what it was two years ago.

Previously, Ikumi Shinozaki and Su Yan had to personally audition for some supporting roles. Now, Ikumi Shinozaki only needs to send the information of each character to the other companies. If the other company is interested, they will first select from their own artists internally and then reply to Ikumi Shinozaki with the information.

And they are absolutely serious.

In the current Xia country film and television industry, who doesn't want to get on Su Yan's bandwagon?

Even a supporting role is much more popular than the main character in other dramas.

Soon, hundreds of audition lists for various participating roles in the two works were sent from various companies in Xia country.

Moreover, after Ikumi Shinozaki confirmed, a large number of artists had already boarded planes to Tokyo.

Starting from Thursday, a large number of actors came to the audition venue arranged by the Tokyo branch.

Rurouni Kenshin is fine, but Fate/Zero has a lot of Western culture mixed in, so a large number of Caucasians are also needed among the actors auditioning.

Conqueror Alexander, Lancelot, Kiritsugu Emiya, the participants of the various heroic spirits appearing in the work can be said to be diverse, and all types of actors came to audition.

How could Dimensional Films' actions be kept secret?

Su Yan is now like a beacon in the Xia country TV drama industry, not to mention such things as auditions.

A large number of news media and Su Yan fans inquired through various channels and finally found out what Su Yan was doing.

As a post exploded on the Internet on Thursday, all of Su Yan's fans in Xia country were in an uproar.

Rurouni Kenshin movie.

And a new drama production with a battle fantasy theme?

Are you Su Yan crazy?

What kind of workaholic are you?

Puella Magi Madoka Magica is not over yet, and there are still two movies to be released.

Now there are two new works holding auditions.

In the Xia country film and television industry, there are not a few prolific screenwriters who produce three to five works a year.

But like Su Yan, who has had this kind of output for several years in a row, he is the only one.

Colleagues are shocked by Su Yan's output, but Su Yan's fans are like celebrating the New Year.

For everyone, the white moonlight is special.

And for Su Yan's fans, if there is a white moonlight in Su Yan's works, it is Rurouni Kenshin.

This is the first time they recognized Su Yan's work in Xia country.

"Brothers, it's exploding!"

"We've been talking about the sequel to Rurouni Kenshin before, and now, it's here!"

"Damn, my head is still dizzy. How has the old thief become so understanding now!"

"Maybe he has a sense of conscience, knowing that he pitted us too badly before, and now he's giving fans benefits."

"A fantasy battle drama, and then a Rurouni Kenshin movie. I don't admire anyone, I only admire the old thief. He is really a genius in the Xia country film and television industry!"

"Are there any screenwriters in the film and television industry who can say what level the old thief's operation is? Is it normal behavior in the industry for him to produce so many works a year?"

"How could it be normal behavior? This is definitely a pervert."

"An average screenwriter can have a successful script in two years, which is already good! Su Yan has several films a year. And all the results are top-notch in the industry."

"I don't care, Su Yan satisfies all my fantasies about filmmakers. He's talented, handsome, and his creative speed is super fast."

"I was worried that I might not be able to see Su Yan's drama for a long time after Puella Magi Madoka Magica ended. The dramas he's making now are all long-cycle works, with a production cycle of one year at every turn. I didn't expect him to be prepared."

"Brothers, don't say anything else. Just for the sake of Su Yan working so hard, no matter how the last three episodes of Madoka's plot are, I will definitely not spray him!"

With just some subtle movements, news about Su Yan spread all over Xia country.

At the same time, in the Tokyo area.

The audition for Fate/Zero officially began.

In the prepared venue, hundreds of people held audition scripts.

"The moment hope turns into despair, how about it, this fresh taste of fear and death."

A sharp and excited voice sounded.

"Well, that's it."

Su Yan ticked and selected on his notebook, and then smiled to signal the actor auditioning for Gilles de Rais to leave temporarily.

Then Su Yan shook his head slightly.

Several more auditionees for this role appeared, and Su Yan's expression finally relaxed.

"The progress is a bit slow!" Ikumi Shinozaki looked at the information recorded in Su Yan's notebook.

"It's unavoidable to be a little slow," Su Yan sighed.

"Fortunately, I have a clear understanding of the character's special effects modeling and positioning. While we are holding auditions here, the special effects companies we are cooperating with are also preparing for post-production special effects. Our progress will be faster when we shoot later, and it will not delay the plan."

Fate/Zero has hundreds of characters, large and small, and there are basically no soy sauce roles. Even a passerby has its role to play.

Su Yan and Ikumi Shinozaki must at least determine the personnel for the seven heroic spirits and the seven masters in this drama.

Other supporting roles are left to Su Yan and Ikumi Shinozaki's assistants to be responsible for the audition.

And although the main auditions are currently for Fate/Zero characters, in fact, many actors who may be suitable for participating in the Rurouni Kenshin movie have also been discovered, so Su Yan made the relevant records very carefully.

"I hope these actors' auditions can be completed this week as much as possible. Also... regarding the actors with Western faces, both beautiful and heroic, that you hope to find, many performing arts companies in China have also sent photos, but I think they are all somewhat different from Gu Qingyuan and Shen Liqian. However, some very good seedlings have been found among the students in Xia country performing arts schools, but they are purely amateurs..." Ikumi Shinozaki said.

"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter whether the actor is famous or not, as long as the image and acting skills meet the standards," Su Yan said.

"She may not be famous when the first episode of this drama airs. By the time the last episode airs, she will be famous."

"Then I will send audition invitations to these students," Ikumi Shinozaki said after a pause.

"Next week, you'll be busy. Plus the auditions for a bunch of supporting roles in Rurouni Kenshin, there will be at least a few hundred more people."

Su Yan's expression froze when he heard this, but he still sighed and said.

"I'm mentally prepared."

For dramas like Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the characters appearing from beginning to end, including the passerby with lines, do not exceed twenty people, and filming and auditions can be done in a day or two.

But Fate and Rurouni Kenshin are indeed the most cumbersome works for Su Yan's audition work since his debut in Xia country.

Although it was kept secret throughout, some details of Su Yan's company's audition news still circulated at night.

For a whole week, relevant news basically topped the hot search every day.

But soon, time came to Sunday again.

These discussions were temporarily overwhelmed by the information of Madoka on Sunday.

Everyone's focus these days is on the ninth episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, and what angle will be used to continue the story.

Will the very complete happy ending in the eighth episode be destroyed by Su Yan himself.

When the time came to night, all Madoka fans were ready to go.

Shao Shichang had prepared his favorite snacks and drinks early and waited in front of the TV.

When the time came.

A brand new theme song sounded, and Shao Shichang, who was a new graduate and a fan of Su Yan for many years, was excited.

The theme song screen is still the five-color Puella Magi team, indicating that the plot of the ninth episode will still revolve around these five people.

This is interesting.

"After the eighth episode, how can this work continue the plot? What can Homura Akemi do in the reset world?"

Shao Shichang was still wondering, the title appeared after the theme song ended.

[Rebellion Story. One]

The style of painting changed suddenly.

In the city under the night, the girls acting in the dark are searching for traces of curses in the distorted world.

The first to appear is Mami Tomoe.

She is singing. Then the snack witch appears.

That is, the little cutie who had her head bitten off by Mami Tomoe in the third episode.

Shao Shichang's eyes widened.

What's the situation?

It's okay for Sakura Kyoko to appear.

Even Sayaka appears with a smile.

And what's up with the snack witch?

Finally, it's Madoka.

The dream is over.

Madoka wakes up holding a pillow.

This picture is familiar, it is exactly the picture of Madoka waking up in the first episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

?

Shao Shichang has already said that he can't understand.

"What's the situation? Madoka is still there? Su Yan, the old thief, is eating the settings? Did he forget that Madoka died in the eighth episode?"

Or, is this episode about Madoka's experience in a previous cycle?

As always, it is the morning at Madoka's house.

The only difference is that Madoka at this time has become a Puella Magi.

Today, there is also a transfer student in her class.

In her home, there is also a rabbit pet, Kyubey, who has been with her day and night.

The new transfer student is Homura Akemi.

But at this time, Homura Akemi is braiding her hair, completely looking like she first met Madoka.

So, if this is a flashback, is it Madoka and Homura Akemi's first week?

No, it's completely wrong.

In the flashback in the seventh episode, Homura Akemi and Madoka's first meeting was not like this at all.

Moreover, Homura Akemi actually knows Mami Tomoe herself. She is a Puella Magi since she transferred.

And the enemies of these Puella Magis are not witches, but nightmares.

All the members of the five-color team are reunited, and their relationship is very harmonious.

Huh?

Did I miss an episode?

Shao Shichang couldn't understand. He stared at the plot on the TV while searching the forum with his mobile phone.

Clicking in, I found a bunch of people posting like him.

"I don't understand!"

"What's this plot?"

"At first, I thought that Su Yan, the old thief, had made a mistake in his settings, but now it seems impossible. If he can make this mistake, his subordinates can't not remind him. Is there any deep meaning?"

"Parallel world?"

"What are nightmares?"

"Where are the witches?"

"Awesome! The old thief is really going to do something."

"Let's watch it first."

The following plot made Shao Shichang even more confused.

The so-called enemy of the Puella Magi, the nightmare, is actually the evil born from the hearts of people whose minds have been invaded by curses.

And the five of them are dispatched to eliminate the darkness in the heart of their friend Hitomi Shizuki.

Shao Shichang has already given up.

Except for the characters and the same five people as the previous eight episodes in this episode's plot.

The settings are completely different.

Even in the reset world, curses exist in the form of magical beasts!

What the hell are these nightmares?

Old thief, are you being a riddle man again?

Moreover, the silhouettes of the five Puella Magi transforming next also reveal a strange aura.

Although the music is cheerful, the style of painting is particularly strange.

It has obvious metaphorical information about the scenes when the five team members died in the previous eight episodes.

"What exactly is this setting? Did I not notice any foreshadowing in the front of Puella Magi Madoka Magica?" Shao Shichang has begun to suspect that he missed the previous plot.

I had some things to do tonight, and I didn't have time to code from day to night.

Weekdays are okay, but all kinds of emergencies are prone to happen on weekends.

There will be only one update tonight. Sorry.
