Depressive Screenwriter

July.

Not only in Xia Country, but also in many overseas countries, the live-action drama posters for Mobile Suit Gundam SEED have been plastered everywhere.

If Lu Luxiu's masterpiece hadn't come first, perhaps global drama fans would still have doubts about whether this giant robot drama would be good.

But after Lu Luxiu, everyone's expectations for the Mobile Suit Gundam drama can be summed up in four words.

【A Masterpiece Foretold】

Similar comments have even begun to circulate in Su Yan's fan forums around the world.

"Do you think Lu Luxiu will appear in this drama?"

"Didn't Su Yan say that this drama has nothing to do with Lu Luxiu?"

"Has the old fox lied less often? If you can believe his words, my sow can climb a tree."

"Although it is a future era, an interstellar war, there is always a history of development on Blue Star before humans enter the starry sky. This drama is likely to be a few hundred years after the Lu Luxiu era."

"Maybe we can see information about Lu Luxiu in the plot! I really can't accept that Lu Luxiu died at the end of the plot. It feels like Lu Luxiu's death was faked."

"Alright, it's been so long, wake up. The old fox doesn't lack money, and he's not going to ruin his own work for quick cash. Lu Luxiu's second season is the finale, there won't be more."

"Moreover, the mecha styles revealed in the Gundam series are very different from Lu Luxiu, including the performance descriptions in the trailers. In Lu Luxiu, it's difficult for a mecha to break through a building, while in Gundam, a mecha can destroy a city, with performance increased tenfold or a hundredfold. They are both giant robots, but not on the same level."

"My wallet is already itching, I hope the Gundam series model kits come out sooner. I can't spend all the pocket money my dad gave me this month, it makes my bones itch!"

"Upstairs rich guy, give me 50 to see your strength!"

"I don't want fifty, give me ten to see your strength!"

"Give me five to see your strength."

Before the broadcast of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED, Su Yan's fans' attention quickly shifted from the FSN UBW chapter to it.

Although FSN is also a globally popular work, it is clear that more people like this type of mecha drama.

A few days later, on Sunday, July 4th, at 8 PM, the Gundam SEED drama premiered on time.

The plot was different from what most viewers imagined.

Everyone thought Gundam would be a conquest war type like Lu Luxiu, but in the first episode, the protagonist, Kira, was inexplicably involved in the war, inexplicably piloted the Gundam, and then inexplicably showed god-level performance to help the Archangel escape the crisis, and became a member of the Archangel with his university classmates, heading towards the Blue Star base.

From the first episode, it can be seen that the protagonist, Kira, is completely different from Lu Luxiu. Lu Luxiu is a handsome talent, but his mecha piloting ability is trash, so the plot of Lu Luxiu mainly focuses on the protagonist's command of battles.

But Mobile Suit Gundam, after the first episode aired, almost all the audience's brains went blank.

In the previous life's animation version of Gundam SEED, you would only feel that the protagonist was awesome and the animation was great. In fact, because it was animation, it didn't have the shock of watching a live-action science fiction movie at all.

But the audience in Xia Country is different.

With the special effects created by money, the Gundam SEED universe battle scenes directly stunned the audience.

The exciting fight scenes in Lu Luxiu were only between Zhu Que and Kallen, and each time it was only to the point, the two clashed more than ten times in two seasons, but the outcome was never decided.

How could it be like the space battle in the Gundam plot?

Colonies were penetrated and destroyed by Gundams, hundreds of thousands of people were annihilated in space, and space battleships exchanged fire in space.

All these scenes and plots exceeded the audience's imagination.

Especially the handsome shapes of the Gundam models, when the protagonist Kira stood on the Gundam cockpit lift and the comparison shot with the machine body appeared, countless children, teenagers, middle-aged people, and old people around the world lit up.

Before this type of work appeared, everyone didn't feel anything, but now, many people have realized the meaning of that sentence.

The sea of stars is romance.

The work's reflection in the ratings did not increase much, after all, in the Xia Country region, a 7% rating is already close to the limit, and it can't rise much more.

But in the work's IP market, when the first episode of Gundam aired, the pre-orders for its eye-catching posters, figures, and co-branded merchandise showed an unimaginable large-scale surge in just two days.

Because the work has just been launched, the peripheral products have not been fully rolled out. In Ayumi Shinozaki's expectation, Gundam SEED would have to be broadcast for about a month before the popularity would fully spread and the peripheral sales would have a more obvious increase in orders.

But this time it was only three days after the broadcast.

Gundam is the undisputed leader in the global simultaneous broadcast drama popularity statistics of major institutions around the world.

Su Yan's works have begun to be broadcast overseas on a large scale for four or five years, and he has accumulated a huge fan base overseas. What is most impressive about Su Yan among these fans is not how high a certain work has reached, but that he doesn't have a single bad work.

The inertia of thinking is terrible.

Even if Gundam is only the first episode, global fans have already regarded it as a work of Lu Luxiu's level, and they are bold and confident in purchasing these peripheral products, and they are certainly not afraid of the plot collapsing later.

On the contrary, many peripherals are when they are first launched, everyone hesitates, worrying that there will be better ones later, and the later styles are discontinued and become extinct, and they can only regret it if they want to buy them at several times the price on the second-hand trading platform.

Su Yan's fans who have suffered several losses have naturally learned to be smart.

As the second-in-command of Su Yan's company, when Su Yan is busy promoting the Gundam drama around the world these days and is not in the company, she is the boss of all the departments under the company.

Sitting in Su Yan's office dealing with a series of company affairs, her face suddenly lit up.

Some shameless rich people like to say that more money is just a number, and it's useless to earn too much.

But Ayumi Shinozaki is a vulgar person. Although her equity dividend from the company's profits is only several hundred million a year, she can spend as much as she wants in Tokyo, which is only a million or so a month, but she is definitely very happy to earn more money.

Even if she can't spend it all, donating it to poor people or relatives and friends around her, making the whole family well-off. That's also a good thing, how can the money earned be a string of numbers?

Seeing the great success of the Gundam series drama and the sales of peripheral products, she is in a great mood. In the reports submitted by her subordinates, she is too lazy to investigate some mistakes made by several employees that caused some losses to the company, and several employees who should have been fired according to common sense were only warned.

After the company's affairs were dealt with, Ayumi Shinozaki got into the car, and the driver took her to the filming location specially built by Dimension Film and Television Company for the Naruto and One Piece dramas.

In these two dramas, the protagonists are basically some new young actors, of course, before using them, they also signed a series of contracts with Dimension Film and Television Company.

Su Yan is not interested in indentured servant contracts, and the contract terms are not harsh, but if any actor becomes popular because of participating in the roles in One Piece and Naruto and wants to do something wrong, then Su Yan is definitely not that stupid.

These works take ten or twenty years to film, if you say you don't want to act after a few years and want to jump out and work alone, then Su Yan's loss of re-casting would be too great. He will definitely avoid these risks at the contract level, Su Yan will not treat the remuneration badly, but he will resolutely resist the behavior of taking his company as a springboard.

In the two dramas, Zhuang Yuxin, Shen Liqian, and Gu Qingyuan also play some roles in them to varying degrees.

With the global popularity of Su Yan's works, their status and reputation in the global film and television industry have also greatly increased.

If Su Yan has any big production works suitable for them, he will definitely first consider choosing them as the female lead, but in the three works of Naruto and One Piece, Su Yan arranged them in roles similar to Tsunade, Yuhi Kurenai, Robin, and Alvida after eating the fruit.

Ayumi Shinozaki came to the set, and the three of them also took the initiative to surround her and greet her.

The people who have equity in Dimension Film and Television Company are Su Yan and Ayumi Shinozaki.

But Zhuang Yuxin, Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan and others, as Su Yan's longtime friends and partners, they basically have a certain share of the revenue of Su Yan's works, and they have accumulated so much over the years, plus the income from film remuneration and commercial performances.

It can be said that each of them is a rich woman in the entertainment industry, and they also engage in some investments in the film and television industry besides participating in Su Yan's works, so in the crew, basically even the director is very polite to them, and the several protagonists of One Piece and Naruto completely dare not show any sense of superiority in front of them.

"It's a pity that Su Yan didn't play the lead role in Gundam SEED. Otherwise, the ratings would probably be even higher."

The few people gathered together and quickly led the topic to Su Yan. Shen Liqian said immediately after Ayumi Shinozaki talked about the results of Gundam SEED.

"He already has a lot of work on his shoulders now, how can he have time to participate in film and television dramas. Except for Rurouni Kenshin and Gilgamesh in the Fate series that he must continue to play, he has only made cameos in the dramas broadcast after Lu Luxiu," said Gu Qingyuan.

"If this situation continues to develop, in another ten or twenty years, the boss will become a legendary figure in the film and television industry. When the boss suddenly makes a comeback to star in a TV series, it may be another ratings miracle."

"Why consider so much about what will happen in ten or twenty years?" Ayumi Shinozaki smiled.

"And you don't have to wait until then, now, he is basically a legendary figure in the film and television industry."

The few people sat in the room and talked about Su Yan's topics, and it was also very boring after a long time, after all, Su Yan's lead in the industry is not a day or two.

They have also basically seen the scripts of One Piece and Naruto that are being filmed, and the production standards are also very clear.

Although it is impossible to judge where the upper limit of the results will be after the two works are broadcast, the lower limit of the results can definitely be estimated.

No matter what, it will not be worse than the results of the Fate series.

The reason why the topic has been around Su Yan's work results is just a hidden agenda.

"So, Sister Yumi... Su Yan did say a few days ago that after Naruto, One Piece, and the scripts of those two new movies, he will take a few months off for himself?" Shen Liqian suddenly asked.

"Yes, he did say that." Ayumi Shinozaki looked at Shen Liqian.

Su Yan has basically not given himself more than two weeks of vacation from his debut at the age of twenty to the present.

He is either writing scripts, or composing music, supervising the filming of film and television dramas, or running around all over the place, and has no time to fall in love.

No mistake, one song, one shot, one content, one is in one look!

Since Su Yan has time now, some of their ideas began to surge.

"However, Su Yan's vacation should just be to relax his body and mind, traveling in the Sakurajima area of Tokyo, looking at the beautiful scenery, etc.! He told me that he wanted to clear his mind of the idea of developing the company and filming film and television dramas, and just play in this world," Ayumi Shinozaki said softly.

"I understand." Shen Liqian smiled.

Zhuang Yuxin and Gu Qingyuan also seemed thoughtful.

Two days later, Su Yan returned to Tokyo.

After the promotion of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is over, from now until Naruto and One Piece are broadcast next year, Su Yan will basically not have any major actions.

The work of his subordinates has been arranged until the year after next, and no one can do anything if Su Yan wants to do anything.

Once a person gets out of work, his thoughts begin to diverge.

First, he drove to a professional 3C store and bought a bunch of games, regardless of whether he wanted to play or not, including the Fate series, the Rurouni Kenshin series, and a bunch of big production games made by local game companies in the Xia Country plane.

Although the film and television dramas in Xia Country are a bit stretched, the games are really good, completely not inferior to Su Yan's previous life, he has coveted these works for a long time.

But after returning to Tokyo for a few days, he wakes up every day, Ayumi Shinozaki is fine, she is Su Yan's deputy, and the two have to discuss a lot of work decisions every day, and the daily communication time averages more than one or two hours, but Zhuang Yuxin, Shen Liqian, and Gu Qingyuan have been chatting with Su Yan frequently on communication software these days, with or without anything to do.

Riding horses, archery, diving, mountaineering, skiing and other projects that Su Yan has always been interested in but has not had time to play have been mentioned by them one by one, and they also asked Su Yan if he wants to go and play together.

At first, Su Yan didn't think much of it, everyone has been working hard for so many years, and it is normal to want to enjoy themselves now, but after they continued like this for three days, he suddenly came back to his senses.

"This is not right."

"So didn't I tell you before? You only reacted now?" Ayumi Shinozaki noticed Su Yan's troubles, and after coming to Su Yan's house today to be a guest and bringing some documents for Su Yan to sign, she laughed directly, her eyes staring at Su Yan.

"They are all in their twenties and are about to run to thirty, there is no need to be so coy, people have already shown their attitude, just didn't say it directly. Who do you like among the three of them? I will help you connect the line, the process will definitely not be awkward."

"What if I say that I only have pure friendship with them, you-"

"I don't believe it." Ayumi Shinozaki rolled her eyes at Su Yan.

"If you can't even see them, then I can only suspect that you don't like women."

Su Yan's expression froze.

Although he is alone in this world, how come he has the feeling of being urged to marry in his previous life.

In his previous life, he was also close to thirty years old and went home every year like this, and it is the same in the Xia Country plane. At this age, even Ayumi Shinozaki, a longtime friend and partner, has begun such persuasion.

Su Yan closed his eyes and thought carefully for a few minutes.

He admitted that when filming with Gu Qingyuan, Shen Liqian, Zhuang Yuxin, and others, he would become very immersed in the role. When filming scenes that involved relatively intimate actions, his heart would beat slightly faster, and some distracting thoughts would arise. However, this was still a distance from actual liking; strictly speaking, he still viewed them as friends.

But if we were to say, among the female friends Su Yan had come into contact with since arriving in this world, who did Su Yan have feelings and thoughts for that slightly exceeded friendship...

Su Yan unconsciously turned his gaze towards Ayumi Shinozaki, whose eyes were filled with curiosity and a smile playing on her lips as she looked at him.

Although he spent a lot of time with Gu Qingyuan and the others, it was mostly during filming.

Excluding acting, the person who spent the most time with Su Yan in this world was undoubtedly Ayumi Shinozaki.

They met almost every day, and because he was so used to her being around, he hadn't thought about these issues. But now, shifting his thoughts away from acting, filming, and company work, and starting to consider matters of relationships and marriage, the first person he thought of was her.

Of course, this was still a long way from anything like love or infatuation; at most, it could only be described as a feeling of goodwill towards a member of the opposite sex, a step above friendship.

"Eh? Why are you staring at me?" Ayumi Shinozaki asked, noticing Su Yan staring blankly at her.

"No, it's nothing," Su Yan said with a smile.

"You..." Ayumi Shinozaki's eyes flashed with suspicion, and her heart skipped a beat.

Some things didn't matter when she didn't think about them, but once distracting thoughts arose, they couldn't be stopped.

Why hadn't there been any rumors about Su Yan and Shen Liqian and the other two after so many years of filming together? It couldn't be that he genuinely didn't like girls, right? And why did he become so awkward whenever this topic was discussed, and why was he staring at me just now?

Could it be?

No, no, no... Su Yan hadn't shown any of those kinds of feelings towards me for so long.

But what if it was true?

Ayumi Shinozaki thought to herself, another idea emerging.

But seriously, if I really were to find someone to date, is there anyone in this world more outstanding than Su Yan?

Those richer than him don't have his talent and good looks.

Those with better looks than him, I haven't met in real life, but even if I did, they wouldn't be as rich and talented as him.

Those more talented than him... hmm, don't seem to exist.

Who could surpass him in overall talent, being proficient in martial arts, acting, song creation, and playing various musical instruments, all at an industry-recognized top-tier level?

Considering it from this perspective...

"Eh."

"Eh."

Su Yan and Ayumi Shinozaki both noticed the other's awkward expression, and the atmosphere became extremely awkward.

"I just remembered I have something to do, I... I'll leave first," Ayumi Shinozaki said hurriedly, grabbing her bag.

"Should I give you a ride?" Su Yan also said.

"No need, I drove here myself."

After Ayumi Shinozaki left, Su Yan sat on the sofa and pondered carefully for a while. Soon, he understood some things.

"Maybe, I should give it a try?"
