Depressive Screenwriter

Although the broadcast of episode eight has ended, the repercussions it caused in the Xia country's drama community have not subsided.

This work, especially with the broadcast of its latest episode, can be said to have completed a major story arc.

Kuronuma Sawako makes friends, then has a tense and close relationship with Kazehaya Shouta, rumors of her delinquency spread in the school, and it is finally discovered that the mastermind behind it is Kurumi.

The plot's logic is extremely simple, so simple that it can be said that these events could happen in any school.

But it was this simple story that achieved a viewership rating of 5.98% for the eighth episode, and after the premiere, the show's rating rose to a high of 9.9.

The drama ratings on these video websites in Xia country are basically real-name authenticated, and only users who have paid to watch on the website can rate.

Although the absolute value of the viewership rating of "Kimi ni Todoke" is not as high as Su Yan's previous combat dramas due to the subject matter, this high praise rate has already demonstrated its quality.

Almost all viewers who continued watching have unanimously recognized it as Su Yan's highest-rated work since his debut.

"Su Yan is really amazing! A boy came up with such a good-looking pure love female lead story."

"I don't want to explore why a boy can write this kind of script anymore. Its existence is reasonable. But can the emotional progress of the male and female leads be faster? It's already the eighth episode, and they haven't held hands yet, I'm so anxious."

"What are you afraid of? It's already the eighth episode, and this season will end in just one month. Confessions and such will definitely happen in the next few episodes, so be patient!"

"You guys are outdated. The filing information for this drama shows that it won't finish airing in the summer season. It's very likely that the male and female leads' confession will be in the October or November episodes."

"? Can it be like this? Aren't the rules for Xia country's TV dramas one season at a time?"

"Why talk about rules with Su Yan? Even if Su Yan broadcasts this drama for half a season longer, the benefits for Sakura Television will be higher than self-producing an S-level drama. She can't wait for Su Yan to do this! After all, after 'Kimi ni Todoke,' Xia country's three major television stations will compete for the broadcasting rights to Su Yan's works. Then, it will be whoever pays the highest price gets it."

"The three major television stations take turns getting the seasonal champion, but the works that win the seasonal champion are all created by Su Yan, right."

"Sigh, are those the points you guys are focusing on? I'm just concerned about the subsequent plot of this drama. I hated Kurumi last week, but now I hope Su Yan can give her an ending that isn't too bad!"

"Sigh, although she's a female villain, the more I watch, the more pitiful she seems! Forget it, let's go cheer on the actress. This actress was directly cyberbullied the past two weeks. Now that I think about it, it's a bit too miserable."

For several consecutive days, the popularity of "Kimi ni Todoke" continued to be at the top of the hot search list on the Xiaguang City Film and Television Forum.

However, the popularity of TV dramas is generally high for the two or three days after the weekly premiere, and then it will be suppressed by the popularity of other works. After all, the attention of film and television fans will always be diverted by other things.

By early September, "Your Name" finally officially broke the 3 billion box office mark, and the film and television industry's public opinion began to report on "Your Name" again these two days.

After all, in the non-Chinese New Year period, this is the only movie in the past decade to break the 3 billion box office mark. Moreover, although the daily box office of "Your Name" has dropped to 10 to 20 million, it will only be taken off the screens in one or two weeks. Judging from the current situation, there is basically no big problem for the total box office to exceed "Rurouni Kenshin".

With so much data and the situation combined, industry practitioners can only come up with two words in their hearts.

Terrifying.

Two movies, with a total box office of over 6 billion. In this one year, Su Yan, not to mention the overseas copyrights and online broadcast shares of a bunch of past works, as well as the revenue from this year's two blockbuster TV dramas, just these two movies alone, the profit after deducting costs and box office splits is over one billion.

But these two movies will also be released on domestic and foreign online streaming media, as well as a bunch of peripherals, and will also be released in a bunch of overseas countries.

In the end, conservatively estimated, Su Yan's income from these two movies alone will probably more than double compared to now.

And profits of more than ten figures, and not stock valuations or anything like that, but real cash income.

Dimensional Film and Television Company may not be large in scale in Xia country, but its revenue is definitely among the best of all the major film and television production companies in Xia country.

It has only taken three years from Su Yan's entry into the film market to now.

And it has only been five or six years since Su Yan established Dimensional Film and Television Company.

While the Xia country media are milking Su Yan's traffic, they have begun to dig up anecdotes from Su Yan's predecessor's junior and senior high school days.

Fortunately, Su Yan's predecessor was also a normal person, and did not do anything outrageous in junior and senior high school. Some media with ulterior motives could not dig up any dirt at all.

This made Su Yan breathe a sigh of relief.

The entire Dimensional Film and Television Company is now mostly supported by his reputation. If any rumors come out, Su Yan will really not be able to handle it.

However, Su Yan is used to being on the media headlines every now and then, so he pays attention to it appropriately.

Nowadays, for him, the "Rurouni Kenshin" movie, "Code Geass", and "FSN" three film and television dramas are being filmed at the same time. Fortunately, the scenes for the "Kenshin" movie are almost finished, and Gilgamesh's scenes in "FSN" are not too many, so Su Yan's progress in filming "Code Geass" is basically not affected.

It's just that Su Yan himself feels a little weird when filming "Code Geass".

In the drama, there are special effects when Lelouch uses Geass.

But on the filming set, Su Yan just makes a handsome move, and then the person opposite him who is hit by the Geass ability starts his performance. Su Yan is already considered an excellent veteran actor, but he still often bursts out laughing during the filming of "Code Geass".

And what's even more ridiculous is the filming of the mecha battle scenes in this drama. The battle scenes of ace pilots in this work, such as Kallen and Suzaku, are purely based on the actors' imagination.

Although Su Yan roughly told them what the scene was like, the actors rely purely on guessing before the special effects are made. The filming process is full of joy and accidents. Many shots were rejected and reshot by Su Yan, even though the director thought there was no problem.

At noon, in the "Code Geass" crew, Su Yan, Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan, Shi Peihua, Shinozaki Ikumi, Zhuang Yuxin and other executives of Dimensional Film and Television Company gathered together, eating and discussing the filming details for the afternoon.

But as they talked, Shinozaki Ikumi diverted the topic elsewhere.

Although "Code Geass" is still being filmed, the promotion of the work has already begun, and not only in Xia country, but Su Yan has also invested a lot of money in the Western market outside of Xia country.

"But Su Yan, besides the domestic broadcasting channels for 'Code Geass,' are you really confident about the foreign channels?"

Shinozaki Ikumi believes in Su Yan, but she always feels uneasy in her heart.

Although the copyrights of Su Yan's previous works were also sold abroad, they were basically not as popular in foreign countries as they were in Xia country due to various reasons.

This time, Su Yan's foreign promotion investment for "Code Geass" is not inferior to the Xia country domestic market at all.

"You ask me if I'm confident, of course I feel confident," Su Yan said with a smile.

"But if you ask if this confidence is 100%, then definitely not."

"But..." Su Yan looked at everyone.

"If we just want to become top-tier celebrities in the Xia country entertainment industry, then everyone here has already achieved it."

"But if we want to go further... then the overseas market must be opened up."

"Even if this time fails, I will continue to do so next time," Su Yan said softly.

But the people present were stern, and could hear Su Yan's determination.

Su Yan is indeed not 100% sure that "Code Geass" will be popular in the Western countries of the Xia country world, but if "Code Geass" doesn't work, then "Fullmetal Alchemist" and others will take turns. There will always be one that will be popular. Su Yan's current wealth can withstand his failures!
