Depressive Screenwriter

"Cut!"

With the director's command, the entire crew of 'Your Name' immediately sprang into action.

"Teacher Su Yan, what do you think of the shot just now?"

Yajima Kosuke, a well-known romance movie director in Xia, and also the director of 'Your Name', asked Su Yan with a smile on his face.

In Xia's film and television industry, the ratio of big shots from mainland China to those from the Sakura Island region is basically six to four. A large number of people from Sakura Island are active in the film and television entertainment industry, and 'Your Name' itself has a lot of Sakura Island customs, so Su Yan simply let a Sakura Island person serve as the director.

The script was that script, and Su Yan's minimum requirement for the shots taken was to retain the beautiful picture quality of Shinkai Makoto's original work. As for the actors' acting skills and other important matters for the film, Su Yan entrusted them to Yajima Kosuke.

He was an amateur when it came to making movies, so he could offer suggestions, but there was no need to give guidance. Otherwise, what was the point of Su Yan spending tens of millions to hire him?

"Not bad, Director Yajima, your shots are very beautiful."

Su Yan gave the other party an appropriate compliment.

Yajima Kosuke, who was 51 years old, smiled.

Although Su Yan interfered with many location choices and special effects production of 'Your Name', and directly intervened in the music part of the film, Su Yan placed almost no restrictions on him in terms of filming.

Moreover, Su Yan's previous film, 'Rurouni Kenshin', is still being screened, and the box office champion during the Spring Festival档 has given him and the 'Your Name' crew the ultimate confidence.

It's so good to have such a boss.

They only need to make the movie, and they don't have to worry about the movie's publicity and operation at all.

"But the progress needs to be faster. It's already February, and our movie is scheduled to be released in July, so time is a bit tight."

"Of course, although this is only Shen Liqian's third film, she has a strong talent for acting. I estimate that Shen Liqian will definitely have her name among the Best Actress nominations at the Dijin Film Festival next year," Yajima Kosuke said with a smile.

In the Xia country plane, Xia people don't have the same beauty filter for foreign countries as Su Yan's previous life.

Western film and television works have their own population and audience, and the radiation range is in the Western region.

The same is true for Eastern film and television works. Leaving aside the film festival awards in Western countries, the main one in the Eastern region is the annual Dijin Film Festival Award.

Because the award ceremony is held in Dijin, the capital of Xia, it has this name.

This award and the Xia Yan Award for television dramas are both extremely famous in the Eastern region and are considered benchmarks for the Xia film and television industry awards.

However, the Xia Yan Award is presented at the end of January each year, while the Dijin Film Award is nominated in March and presented in April.

"Hopefully," Su Yan smiled.

Among the artists under the company, Su Yan actually values Gu Qingyuan the most, and hopes that she will have a better development in the future, but she is too much of a salted fish compared to Shen Liqian. She is also not very active in the company to fight for roles. No matter what role Shen Liqian knows that Su Yan has a script, she will try her best to recommend herself.

And Gu Qingyuan is more like a socially fearful person. If Su Yan arranges for her to act, she will never refuse, and she will do her best to play well regardless of whether it is suitable or not, but if Su Yan does not take the initiative to mention it, she will have a thinner skin and will not take the initiative.

Last year, Shen Liqian played the heroine Hachiya Juan in 'A Bouquet of Love', and this year she has the roles of the heroine in 'Rurouni Kenshin' and 'Your Name'.

With the current box office success of 'Your Name', which has exceeded 2 billion, she will definitely be qualified for next year's Best Actress nomination.

Moreover, it is very likely that Su Yan will win the Best Actor nomination with the role of Kenshin Himura.

"If Dimensional Film and Television Company can win the Best Actor and Best Actress awards one after another in one year, then Dimensional Film and Television will become one of the top companies in the Xia film industry," Yajima Kosuke said.

"At that time, a large number of people in the entire Xia film and television industry will have to rely on Teacher Su Yan for survival."

"You flatter me. How can we be sure about things next year this year?" Su Yan said modestly.

But having said that, both of them knew in their hearts that it would be abnormal if Su Yan and Shen Liqian were not nominated for these awards next year.

Soon, Shen Liqian, who was wiping sweat with a towel, walked over. Hearing the conversation between Su Yan and the two, she was very thick-skinned.

"If I really win the Dijin Film Festival Best Actress Award next year... then am I the only person in Xia history to win both the Xia Yan Award for Best Actress and the Dijin Award for Best Actress? Am I creating history?" Gu Qingyuan flicked the hair beside her ear, revealing her fair and beautiful face and her nose, which was red from the cold.

In the cold winter, she was still wearing the unique school uniform of a Sakura Island high school student for the filming of 'Your Name'. Even though she was temporarily wrapped in a down jacket, her body was still trembling slightly.

"That's right," Yajima Kosuke thought for a while.

"Xia has never had a Best Actress winner in the film industry before. If Shen Liqian can really win this award, you will be creating history." While Yajima Kosuke was talking, he looked at Su Yan and gave this investor a rainbow fart.

"Of course, if Teacher Su Yan can win the Best Actor Award next year, then you will also be the first person among male actors to win both the Best Actor and Best Actress awards, also creating history."

Su Yan and Shen Liqian looked at each other, and they both knew very well.

The movie 'Rurouni Kenshin' is a male lead work, and 90% of the credit for the success of this work depends on Su Yan's martial arts action scenes in this movie.

Su Yan may win the Best Actor award with Kenshin, but Shen Liqian is unlikely to win the Best Actress award with Kaoru Kamiya.

But on the contrary, 'Your Name' is different. 'Your Name' can be called a female lead movie. If the movie does well, then the role of Mitsuha Miyamizu may have a chance.

Su Yan fell into deep thought, and Shen Liqian's heart was pounding.

Yajima Kosuke felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle.

The two people in front of him seemed to have slightly stronger fighting spirits in their eyes.

Time passed, and it came to the end of February.

It was another Sunday.

Unlike Su Yan's previous life, when 'Fate/Zero' was divided into two seasons and staggered several broadcasts, in Xia, 'FZ' was broadcast continuously.

After waiting for a week, all the 'Fate' fans in Xia could be called extremely thirsty today.

On the Internet, a group of 'Fate' fans took photos and videos to show off the brand-new, genuine 'Fate' merchandise they had just bought from the Dimensional Film and Television official website or the Sakura TV shopping platform.

Among them, the one-to-one replica of Artoria's knight armor and greatsword sold out directly. Although the price was several thousand Xia coins, the production could not keep up with the demand.

Although the viewership of the work was not as good as 'Madoka Magica', the merchandise sold significantly better than 'Madoka Magica'.

After all, strictly speaking, boys can also wear Artoria's knight uniform, but only boys who truly love this show dare to wear the magical girl transformation set to go out on the street!

By the afternoon, major forum platforms were already in chaos.

"I must let that perverted murderer die tonight."

"Why! Isn't Uryuu Ryuunosuke worthy? I think this person is super handsome, and Gilles de Rais, this combination of master and servant, is really interesting!"

"What are you thinking about two perverted murderers who abuse children? Are they so popular?"

"It's not real, it's just a TV series, what can't you like? Compared to Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald, Uryuu Ryuunosuke is obviously more charming!"

"I hope Su Yan, the old thief, who plays Gilgamesh, dies quickly. I can't stand this show-off."

"Kenshin and Gilgamesh have the same face. I like Kenshin so much that I want to die, but I hate Gilgamesh so much that I want to die. I can only say that the old thief's acting skills are a bit too good."
