Depressive Screenwriter

【We don't talk at all anymore.】

【We don't even argue!】

【There's no more emotion.】

【But I don't know how to bring up breaking up. We've been together for so long! It's like changing phones.】

【I don't know which page to go to cancel the contract.】

【I don't want to break up; I'll regret canceling now.】

【But even so, I'll break up with her after this wedding today.】

【. I'll break up with him.】

【But because it's the end, I want to smile during this last period before we break up.】

【But because it's the end, I want to smile during this last period before we break up.】

After saying this to the people beside them, Kinu Yatsugu and Mugi Yamane raised their heads and looked at their lovers of several years across the aisle.

The two showed each other smiles.

As bright as when they first met.

Zhong Qianxue's eyes were a little red.

Some people with low tear ducts in the movie theater began to blow their noses.

The constantly switching shots, even though the heroine and hero were talking to their brothers and best friends beside them, the topics between the two were exactly the same.

The brothers and best friends didn't say a word, and the two's words could answer each other fluently from beginning to end.

Even at the time of breaking up, they were still full of tacit understanding.

After the wedding, the two tacitly came to the nearby Ferris wheel and watched the night view of Tokyo together.

Like the first day they met, they went to karaoke to sing, without any conflicts, all smiles, and their eyes were full of each other. Then, when they walked out of the karaoke, they suggested together to go somewhere to sit.

The two came to the restaurant where they confessed to each other.

The hero's emotions were a little out of control, and his eyes were red.

Both knew what the other wanted to say.

Mugi Yamane began to want to escape.

But Kinu Yatsugu didn't allow him to escape.

Zhong Qianxue watched the screen intently, not daring to blink.

Sadness arose in her heart.

In fact, these two still liked each other.

But, at some point, the things they pursued became different.

They knew what the other was thinking, but they didn't agree with what the other was pursuing.

At the end of this conversation, Mugi Yamane still wanted to make a final attempt to keep Kinu Yatsugu.

He proposed marriage again.

Even if they no longer understood each other as they used to, and there was no sense of identity, but after getting married and becoming family, perhaps these things wouldn't matter anymore.

But at this moment, a table of people came next to them, a couple just like them five years ago.

Like they were back then, their hearts were connected.

Looking at each other was like looking at themselves.

And looking at the protagonists in the movie, Zhong Qianxue seemed to see herself as well.

When Kinu Yatsugu and Mugi Yamane cried while looking at the people at the next table, Zhong Qianxue couldn't help it either.

The two finally broke up, and Mugi Yamane understood that he couldn't salvage it!

The movie screen began to insert scenes of them happily smiling like friends for a period of time after they broke up.

Scenes of playing games together and talking again about topics they were both interested in.

Then the screen turned to the beginning.

The scene in that coffee shop where the hero and heroine got up together because they couldn't hear the exact same information when they shared headphones, but eventually retreated when they saw each other.

At this time, a long time had passed since the two broke up.

The scene of them not recognizing each other but waving goodbye with a smile on their faces as they left the coffee shop made Zhong Qianxue's eyes blur.

The BGM started.

The dark space of the theater was illuminated by the lights overhead.

While Zhong Qianxue was in a daze, the end credits started playing.

There was almost half a minute of silence in the theater.

A group of people sat in their chairs, not knowing what to think.

Unlike "5 Centimeters Per Second," which made you feel terrible after watching it on the spot.

The ending of "Like a Bouquet of Love" directly made Zhong Qianxue feel like her heart had been hollowed out.

She did predict that this movie would be a tragedy, but predicting it didn't mean she could handle it.

The simple and uncomplicated plot, through shaping two such protagonists, completely immersed the audience.

Walking out of the theater feeling empty, Zhong Qianxue saw a sea of moviegoers in the lobby, a group of smiling couples and Su Yan's fans were waiting in line to enter and watch "Like a Bouquet of Love."

"Laugh, just laugh. You won't be laughing in two hours," Zhong Qianxue clenched her fists.

She wanted to go straight home.

But after walking out of the lobby, she thought about it and got angry, so she came to the ticket counter and bought a movie ticket for "Like a Bouquet of Love" for the nearest time.

She wasn't going home; although it was hard to watch, she wanted to watch this movie a second time.

She didn't understand many details on her first viewing.

Moreover, she would not only watch it twice, but also write a post-viewing blog post on the forum when she got back at night.

She knew what state she was in now.

It took her half a month to get out of Su Yan's "5 Centimeters Per Second" plot.

Now, she had entered this movie again.

At midnight, August 20th ended, and the time came to August 21st.

Before long, major theaters tallied the box office data for the movies released that day.

"Like a Bouquet of Love" had a first-day box office of 91 million.

"Immortal Mountain" had a first-day box office of 84 million.

"Truth" had a first-day box office of 79 million.

The box office trends of these three movies were very close.

But that night on the internet, the discussion heat of the three movies had a huge gap.

"Immortal Mountain," as a popcorn special effects movie, most viewers are very tolerant of this type of movie. I came to watch the special effects and fights anyway, so it doesn't matter if the plot is a little worse.

But "Truth," this detective movie, is different. Although the box office is high, the plot is being criticized to death by detective fans.

Detective-themed movies are inherently difficult to create. As long as there is a flaw, movie fans will definitely pick it out for you. Therefore, detective movies in Xia Country are often pseudo-detective movies. The plot rhythm is greater than the logic, and the focus is on the viewing experience. Artistry and the like are not the first consideration.

And "Like a Bouquet of Love" is very subtle.

On major websites, I saw another denunciation of Su Yan.

"Su Yan, you really don't disappoint in disappointing people."

"Last month, I took my girlfriend to see '5 Centimeters Per Second,' and she didn't feel anything. I thought she and I were true love. Tonight, I took her to see 'Like a Bouquet of Love,' and it's over. She's in a bad mood now."

"It's even more uncomfortable to watch than '5 Centimeters Per Second.' That kind of long-distance relationship in '5 Centimeters Per Second' and the final ending after more than ten years, I thought about it and felt it was normal. But 'Like a Bouquet of Love'. What does the old thief want to express! Such a couple doesn't deserve a good ending in his heart?"

"A pair of people who have a tacit understanding when confessing and have the exact same thoughts when breaking up will eventually not be able to go on. Old thief, don't you believe in love at all?"

"The previous TV series could still shoot an if line to appease the fans, but now there's no way. The old thief has exposed his nature. It's depressing all the way!"

"Su Yan, old thief, can't you make some normal movies?"

"I said those who scold the old thief, there's actually no need. After all, you should be mentally prepared before entering the movie theater. 'Like a Bouquet of Love' is this kind of ending. You should know it before entering the theater."

"I was mentally prepared, but I still cried in the theater."

"I'm the same. I'm mentally prepared for every one of Su Yan's works, but I just can't stand it!"

"So there's only one Su Yan in Xia Country! Everyone knows he's going to be depressing again, but you just can't finish watching his work with a smile."

"'5 Centimeters Per Second' tells us that time and space will make the most ardent love dissipate. And 'Like a Bouquet of Love' tells us that even the person who knows you best can't go on with you. So the answer is obvious. The old thief has never believed in love from beginning to end."

"Nonsense, if he believed in love, would he still be single now?"

"After tonight, I've confirmed that if I can see Su Yan create a non-depressing film and television work in this lifetime, I'll eat it directly!"

On the fan forums, their grievances directly turned into a large amount of emotional value and poured into Su Yan's system.

After last month's box office miracle of "5 Centimeters Per Second," the media in Xia Country doesn't dare to talk nonsense now.

Don't look at these fans scolding wildly here, but these people definitely, certainly, definitely give "Like a Bouquet of Love" a very high score.

After all, just like when "5 Centimeters Per Second" was released, the audience only scolded Su Yan, not the work.

Sure enough, the next morning, the scores of the three movies came out.

"Like a Bouquet of Love" opened with a score of 9.2.

"Immortal Mountain" opened with a score of 8.0.

"Truth" opened with a score of 7.5.

The reaction of major theaters on Saturday was the same as the treatment of "5 Centimeters Per Second" last month.

After the data came out and found that the attendance rate, word-of-mouth, and box office of "Like a Bouquet of Love" were all the first in the schedule,

Increasing the screenings directly became the unanimous choice of major theaters.

Although many media outlets predicted this situation before the release of "Like a Bouquet of Love."

After all, the highest number of screenings obtained before the release of "Like a Bouquet of Love" showed that the market was most optimistic about Su Yan.

But this box office trend is exactly the same as "5 Centimeters Per Second" last month.

"'Like a Bouquet of Love' has a hit word-of-mouth and box office on its first day! The summer box office champion is almost a foregone conclusion. Su Yan may be able to win both the champion and runner-up spots in this year's summer box office competition."

This article issued by a well-known media outlet in Xia Country at noon made a group of practitioners in the Xia Country film industry feel very uncomfortable.

But the media is not making alarmist talk and making up manuscripts.

But if no movie in this schedule can kill out and surpass the box office of '5 Centimeters Per Second,' then '5 Centimeters Per Second' is determined to be the summer box office champion.

But the funniest thing now is that there is a movie that looks very promising.

But that movie is also Su Yan's movie, which is 'Like a Bouquet of Love.'

Is there still suspense?

In the afternoon, major film media and critics across the internet began to report on the news about Su Yan and 'Like a Bouquet of Love.'

The third movie, one or two works with good results can be said to be luck.

Three movies with high word-of-mouth and high box office, this time Su Yan's reputation in the Xia Country movie fan group is completely opened.

Along with the Rurouni Kenshin movie that will be released in half a year, the popularity also began to climb rapidly.

A large number of passerby movie fans began to search the internet for information about Su Yan's past film and television works.
