Depressive Screenwriter

Time quickly arrived in October.

After a season of broadcasting, "Code Geass" had accumulated enormous popularity both domestically and internationally, making the premiere of its second season highly anticipated.

During this time, many fans were thinking and discussing how the plot of the second season would unfold, but "Code Geass" Season 2 told the audience in just one episode that it was returning to the starting point.

The failure of the Black Knights, Zero's death, and the complete defeat of the Area 11 resistance.

This was the information given at the beginning of the plot, but...

Lelouch returned to Ashford Academy, had a strangely appearing younger brother named Rolo, and became friends with Shirley, the tragic female character from the first season, again.

Many "Code Geass" fans at the time thought they had misread something or missed an episode.

But the plot was quickly revealed.

Lelouch's father was also a Geass user, with the ability to alter memories.

Lelouch's father captured Nunnally, then altered Lelouch's memories as Zero, implanted the false memory of a younger brother named Rolo, and then used Rolo to monitor Lelouch's daily life, using Lelouch, who had forgotten his past as Zero, to set a trap and lure out all the remaining resistance members of the Black Knights.

Although this plot was whimsical, it was logical.

A group of fans who thought Lelouch would die if his identity was exposed now realized that as long as the pen was in the hands of the screenwriter, the screenwriter could justify anything.

And the Black Knights executives, led by C.C., secretly began to rescue Lelouch, but for Nunnally's sake, Lelouch, with much help, recovered his memories but continued to play dumb, playing house with his fake brother.

Thus, the second season of "Code Geass" became an undercurrent where Lelouch, as Zero, continued to control the Black Knights and secretly joined forces with the Dragon Federation, another major power in the world that the people of Xia knew, to overthrow the tyrannical rule of Britannia.

And a clear school storyline where Lelouch pretended to be stupid, played house with his fake brother at school, and plotted to rescue his real sister Nunnally.

The first episode of the second season gave a critical blow to "Code Geass" fans around the world right from the start.

Before the premiere, everyone's guesses about the plot direction were too unimaginative. Who would have thought that the second season could arrange the plot like this?

However, it was unexpectedly good. Although the plot was whimsical, there were no dull moments all the way through.

Especially Lelouch's fake brother, Rolo, who was actually a Geass user, directly maxing out the tension of the whole drama.

However, as a sequel to the popular TV series "Code Geass", the 7.03% viewership rating of the first episode of the second season exceeded the normal upper limit of the Xia's TV drama industry, but it did not exceed the industry's expectations.

Su Yan is now a bug. Without him, the upper limit of viewership ratings in the Xia's TV drama industry would be between 5.6% and 5.8%, but Su Yan's works can push this data to over 7% in this era.

A large number of TV drama fans in Xia and even abroad have built a strong confidence in Su Yan and have begun to blindly believe in his works.

This phenomenon is very dangerous for others.

After all, no creator dares to say that they can maintain a high level of creation for a lifetime without disappointing their fans even once. The more fans praise him now, the more violent the backlash will be. As long as a bad work appears, the reputation and public opinion will collapse like an avalanche.

But for Su Yan, he doesn't care about this risk at all.

Even if he maintains his current creative speed, he may not be able to pull out half of the classic works in the system by the time he is seventy years old, so there is no psychological pressure at all.

In October, after the premiere of "Code Geass", Su Yan's work focus was no longer on this drama.

He appropriately paid attention to the viewership ratings of the work, and then put more energy into two "Gundam" series works, as well as "Howl's Moving Castle", which will be released during the Spring Festival next year, the third "Rurouni Kenshin" movie, and "Suzume", which will be released during the summer of next year.

At the same time, the planning of the "Rurouni Kenshin" TV series has also begun.

Su Yan plans to end the "Kenshin" series of movies in two years, but at the same time, he will also start the "Kenshin" TV series project, as well as the "Rurouni Kenshin" game, which will be launched simultaneously with the popularity of the TV series, with an investment of more than 200 million and nearly three years of development.

Su Yan's company's game department has also successively developed several games in the past few years. There is no truly ultra-first-tier large-scale game, but the "Kenshin" game is basically produced according to this specification.

Although the "Kenshin" game has not yet been launched, the establishment and planning of the "Gundam" series of games has been put on the agenda.

For other IP developers, generally, film and television dramas and anime become popular first, and then games and peripherals are slowly developed, but Su Yan is different. He doesn't have so much time to waste, but he has so much money to invest in these projects.

Although he can't say that investing in these will 100% make a lot of money, he can afford to lose, so when the "Gundam" series was established as a TV series, peripheral development, derivative games, etc. were all carried out together.

After this operation, Su Yan thought that the cash flow on his company's account would have to be suppressed by himself, but the fact is that with the revenue of the "Rurouni Kenshin" during the Spring Festival, "Weathering with You" during the summer, "Code Geass" and other works successively arriving.

The cash flow on the Dimensional Film and Television Company's account has increased sharply instead.

Domestic and overseas, various works, and various channels of profit income converged to Dimensional Film and Television Company, causing the cash flow on Dimensional Film and Television Company's account to approach the 10 billion mark.

And these do not include the copyright value of a number of works of Dimensional Film and Television Company.

Because it is a private enterprise and not listed, Su Yan did not appear on some of the Xia's rich list rankings based on the market value of the stocks he holds, like many rich people.

But in fact, everyone in the entire film and television industry knows how exaggerated the value of Dimensional Film and Television Company and Su Yan is. If Su Yan is slightly interested in the capital market, and also participates in the capital market, and engages in the money-making routine, it will not take long before he will be a Xia's mega-rich with a net worth of over 10 billion, and his ranking on the rich list will definitely not be low.

But although Su Yan is interested in making money, he still has a little bottom line, and he has rejected the hints from all parties during this time.

"Dimensional Film and Television Company has and only has two shareholders. Me and Ayase Ikumi, now, and in the future, too. I don't lack money, and I don't consider listing." Su Yan put down the documents in his hand and hung up the suggestive proposal from a partner.

People also want to rely on their own resources and background to cooperate with Su Yan and promote Dimensional Film and Television Company to the market, but Su Yan's words basically cut off his thoughts.

"When people become famous and have value, all kinds of capital are like sharks smelling blood." Ayase Ikumi said, drinking milk tea with a smile in her eyes.

"This person contacted me before and was rejected by me. This time, he directly contacted you."

"Yeah." Su Yan sighed.

"These people have been increasing in the past two years."

"But it doesn't matter, the most valuable asset of Dimensional Film and Television Company is you. As long as this does not change, we will never have problems," Ayase Ikumi said with a smile.

Su Yan understood what she meant. The Xia's film and television circle may not be simpler than Su Yan's previous life, but Dimensional Film and Television Company, strictly speaking, does not have any assets. What is truly valuable is Su Yan and a number of works copyrights under Su Yan's name. Even if there are colleagues or capital with bad intentions, they can't take it away.

As long as Su Yan does not cooperate, those with bad intentions have no way.

"The overseas viewership data for "Code Geass" Season 2 has also been sent. All broadcasting regions have topped the charts," Ayase Ikumi saw Su Yan's expression and knew that he was not interested in this topic, so she directly started the work discussion.
