Depressive Screenwriter

Starting in late December, heavy snow began to fall across most of Xia Country.

Taking advantage of this timing, Su Yan quickly filmed the snow scene segments from "Howl's Moving Castle," "Weathering with You," and "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion."

By this time, Shanghai TV's promotion for "FSN" had reached a fever pitch.

Sakura TV and Zhongxia TV had no intention of competing with Shanghai TV for the season's championship this quarter.

Everyone knew the popularity of "FZ." Even if, hypothetically, "FSN's" plot was terrible, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and their self-produced dramas couldn't possibly compete.

However, Shanghai TV was still spending money on advertising like it was paper.

For nearly twenty years, the ratings record in Xia Country had been held by "FZ."

And Shanghai TV's goal was simple.

It wanted to change the name of the ratings record holder from "FZ" to "FSN."

For Su Yan, it didn't matter which of his works was the peak performer, but for these TV stations, the difference was significant.

Time moved on to January.

The first three days of January were the New Year holiday, and major TV stations wouldn't choose to broadcast their self-produced dramas during this period.

January 4th happened to be a Sunday.

It also happened to be the day the first episode of "FSN" premiered.

From daytime, the hot searches on various websites in Xia Country regarding "Fate" never stopped.

On various video websites and forums, Su Yan's fans from all walks of life gathered.

Su Yan currently had almost no room for haters to survive in Xia Country, so the biggest controversy online was the argument among various fans about which was Su Yan's strongest drama.

Some of Su Yan's fans felt that "Fate" had the highest ratings and should be the peak of Su Yan's works.

Others felt that Su Yan's fame was growing, and it was unfair to compare the ratings of his previous works with his current works.

These arguments continued from day to night.

However, Ye Yunze, as a rational fan, just watched these debates online with interest, but didn't say a word online.

For him, Su Yan's best work was always the next one.

Starting at seven o'clock, he turned on the TV at home to Shanghai TV.

Unlike Sakura and Zhongxia, Shanghai TV didn't particularly value the revenue from "Fate," so they didn't put a bunch of TV shopping advertisements before "Fate" started to disgust the audience.

Instead, they started playing a documentary about the making of the "Fate" series.

In the film set, Su Yan, playing Gilgamesh, wearing heavy golden armor costumes, jumped down from a high place without any props, scaring the crew, but after everyone surrounded him, they found that Su Yan was physically strong and nothing happened. Then, Ayami Shinozaki accused Su Yan of disregarding safety on the set, and Su Yan didn't dare to say a word next to her.

"You have this day too! So you, Su Yan, are still afraid of producer Ayami Shinozaki." Ye Yunze was amused.

In the following behind-the-scenes footage, several actors were also revealed, but they were all half-hidden, either processed with blurry mosaics, or only showing hands and feet, not even a full body.

Then, there should be characters appearing in the later plot.

Finally, there was a scene of Su Yan playing games in his office.

The game screen showed Su Yan controlling Artoria to fight Gilgamesh. In the game duel, the Artoria character controlled by Su Yan had all kinds of clumsy operations, and then was defeated miserably by Gilgamesh. Then the screen was full of Gilgamesh's triumphant laughter.

Well, yes, Gilgamesh's game voiceover was also Su Yan's original voice.

Ye Yunze clenched his fists.

Shanghai TV, Su Yan, what do you mean?

Exposing a little bit of "FSN's" actual game operation screen, but only showing Su Yan's terrible operation, and the one being defeated was Artoria.

Can you even play?

Mail your computer over, I'll teach you how to play!

Looking at the game style, isn't it a role-playing fighting game? You're so good at fighting in reality, but you're a weakling in the game, or are you deliberately cutting this segment to anger us fans?

While Ye Yunze had a lot of thoughts in his head, Shanghai TV's behind-the-scenes editing ended.

Next was the trailer for "FSN."

Ye Yunze had watched this trailer no less than twenty times, but he would still continue to watch it very seriously every time. Especially the final appearance of Artoria.

The trailer ended, and the TV screen paused.

The first thing that appeared was a little girl.

Ye Yunze was stunned, and remembered, this is Tohsaka Rin from "FZ"!

Here, is her memory of getting along with her father, Tokiomi Tohsaka, a happy childhood, a gentle and elegant father, and...

The figure of her father leaving before participating in the Holy Grail War.

The alarm clock rang, and a white hand punched the alarm clock, silencing the ringing alarm.

A beautiful face, with fatigue, but youthful and lively, was revealed.

In Su Yan's previous life, "FSN" had multiple anime series.

Because the original work has three lines, Saber line, UBW line, HF line, corresponding to the ending of the male lead's entanglement and choice between the three heroines.

But no matter which line, one thing is common.

That is, from the beginning of the story until Shirou Emiya and Artoria meet for the first time, the entire story has no branches.

That is, the prologue.

And the prologue plot is divided into Tohsaka Rin's perspective and Shirou Emiya's perspective.

The two perspectives tell the same event on the same day, the different encounters and responses of the two people.

So in the Xia Country version, the first episode's perspective is on Tohsaka Rin.

The school's unattainable flower, the object of admiration for many men, the heir of the Tohsaka family of magicians.

And the plot will not enter the theme so quickly like in "FZ."

"FZ" initially revolves around the seven masters of the Holy Grail War summoning heroic spirits.

But "FSN," at the beginning, revolves around Tohsaka Rin's school life to delve into the world of magicians.

Moreover, although the two works have the same world view, the styles are very different.

"FSN" spends a lot of time depicting the characters' campus interpersonal relationships.

Tohsaka Rin gets up and goes to school, and on the way, she meets her friends, Mitsuzuri, an important supporting role in this work, Shinji Matou, the first disgusting male character in this work.

The male lead's good friend, the school student council president Issei, and the male lead Shirou Emiya, and Sakura Matou, who was adopted into the Matou family in the "FZ" plot, triggering the tragedy between Kariya Matou and Tokiomi Tohsaka.

After watching for ten minutes, Ye Yunze blinked.

?

Why does it feel different from the "FSN" I imagined?

Where is the Holy Grail War?

Where is Artoria?

Where is Gilgamesh?

Where is Kiritsugu Emiya?

Even Kirei Kotomine should come out!

But soon, the scene that Ye Yunze was looking forward to appeared.

Because the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City was not summoned ten years ago, the Holy Grail War, which occurs once every sixty years, started again after only ten years this time.

And Tohsaka Rin was undoubtedly chosen by the Holy Grail to become a master.

The perspective follows her campus life during the day, to the evening.

She carves a magic circle at home alone, summoning a heroic spirit.

With a violent noise, a handsome man in red clothes appeared.

Ye Yunze was already excited when he saw this.

Oh, here it comes again, a heroic spirit.

What kind of history does this heroic spirit have?

The plot continues to advance.

The irritable and tsundere master Tohsaka Rin and the sarcastic and amnesiac heroic spirit Archer.

His class is Archer.

Ye Yunze remembered Gilgamesh, the Archer from the last Holy Grail War.

The saying "Archers have always been disobedient" appeared in his mind.

The story continues to advance.

The next day, Tohsaka Rin found something wrong at school, and met an unknown master's unknown Lancer heroic spirit in the school at night, and a duel occurred.

Ye Yunze's eyes widened.

In terms of the rendering power of the first episode alone, this kind of girl's daily campus plot is not as good as the first episode of "FZ," but the close combat fight between Archer and Lancer is wonderful.

"The action scenes are full." Ye Yunze took a deep breath.

Then, at the critical moment of the two sides' duel, another student came to the school in the middle of the night and saw this scene, and Lancer immediately found something wrong and chased after him.

When Tohsaka Rin and Archer arrived, they found the male lead Shirou Emiya lying in a pool of blood.

His heart was pierced, and life was fading away.

Because it was Shirou Emiya, Tohsaka Rin consumed an important gem to save Shirou Emiya's life.

Because the power of the gem disappeared, Tohsaka Rin left the gem to Shirou Emiya, who was still in a coma.

This is a huge foreshadowing, but Ye Yunze, who only watched it once, couldn't realize this at all.

Realizing that even if Shirou Emiya was saved, Lancer might still go to finish him off, the two immediately went to Shirou Emiya's house.

Just arrived there...

A blonde beauty in blue armor, holding an invisible blade, slashed at Tohsaka Rin, and Archer saved her at the critical moment.

Artoria appeared.

Ye Yunze's heart was beating wildly at this moment.

Saber.

She appeared again, with the regret of the last Holy Grail War, with the regret of the fall of the British Empire, with the regret of her own leading to the destruction of the country, she came here again, and participated in her second Holy Grail War.

The ending song sounded.

The excitement on Ye Yunze's face solidified.

?

Su Yan, you old thief, you're starting already in the first episode?

What kind of damn cliffhanger is this, don't you have any new tricks?

Is this all you can do?
