Depressive Screenwriter

During the day, the fans of the drama "April" on various websites were verbally attacking Su Yan, denouncing him in the most scathing terms.

But at night, when the trailer for the second ending came out, everything changed.

"So, the choice in episode eleven made by Old Thief Su Yan was about this? Kaori Miyazono's illness wasn't actually terminal?"

"Of course, if it were a terminal illness, would there be any need for surgery? A disease that can be operated on must have a chance of being cured, the only difference is how big that chance is."

"After watching "April" last night, I just felt empty, couldn't sleep all night, and didn't even shed a tear. But after seeing this IF ending trailer, I really couldn't hold back. Old Thief Su Yan really knows how to trick people into crying!"

"But won't operating a TV series like this have any impact?"

"What impact? The trailer has clearly stated that the ending broadcast on TV is the orthodox ending, while the IF ending is supplementary bonus content. It's like the parallel worlds in scientific theories."

"That's right, parallel worlds are something that can't be proven or disproven. We don't even know if there's another world outside of the Xia country dimension with a similar culture and customs to Xia country, but with specific divergences in the rolling torrent of history, eventually forming two different worlds. If there's a world where Kaori Miyazono's surgery fails, then there will naturally be a world where Kaori Miyazono's surgery succeeds... Old Thief Su Yan is just showing us the development of different timelines in this work, what's the problem?"

"Old Thief Su Yan is actually thoughtful, I'm so touched. Did he plan to film two endings from the start?"

"Not necessarily, this IF ending trailer only said that Kaori Miyazono might adopt another medical team's plan before the surgery, it didn't say that the plan would definitely succeed! Is it possible that Old Thief Su Yan will use another way to torment us again with this ending?"

"."

"."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Unless he doesn't want to continue in this industry, otherwise I don't believe he's that immoral."

"Don't think about it, since there's a second ending, it must be a happy and joyful one. Say nothing else, believe... believe him one last time."

"I don't believe Old Thief Su Yan. But I believe that if there really are parallel worlds, then there will always be a branch where Kaori Miyazono can survive... Su Yan, if you have any humanity left, then give me a happy ending, even if it's just once!"

"Anyway, I don't acknowledge the version broadcast on TV as the grand finale. If the IF ending is a happy one, I will automatically delete the TV version's plot from my brain!"

"Me too. I've been tormented by Old Thief Su Yan's dramas so many times, he should be normal this time, right?"

"Kaori Miyazono, keep fighting! Kousei Arima, keep fighting! Old Thief Su Yan, keep fighting! Shen Liqian, keep fighting! As long as you can survive in this ending, I'll be a fan for life!"

"It's going live on Friday night, right... I'll believe you one last time, Su Yan, just once. If you play me again this time, then you will definitely lose a fan forever."

"I suddenly remembered now, that post with over 100,000 likes last night said that they'd eat something big if they watched any more of Su Yan's works. Will he watch this second ending of "April"? I'm really looking forward to seeing him live-streaming eating something big."

As Su Yan and Ayumi Shinozaki had predicted, the reaction caused by the second ending trailer of "April" in the market was even stronger than after the true ending was broadcast last night.

Broadcasting this kind of IF ending directly would likely give the audience the impression that, [Oh, I see, Kaori Miyazono's surgery was successful!]

But playing the IF ending after the original ending was broadcast completely changed the audience's feelings.

It created an emotion like Nagisa Furukawa's revival in the Clannad ending.

Depression and healing are separated by only a thin piece of paper.

Only when you've lost something do you realize its importance.

For the current "April" fans...

As long as Kaori Miyazono can survive in the IF ending, then "April" is an indisputable masterpiece.

They will automatically treat the IF ending as the true ending, and as for the original ending, they will treat it as a supplement to the IF ending!

In just one night, "April" fans spread the news of "April" having a second ending to all four major online broadcasting platforms through various channels.

What happened next was difficult for the Xia country media to understand.

After the "April" finale aired last night, in just one night, Su Yan topped the list of most hated male celebrities in Xia country's male movie star voting election this quarter.

Then tonight, the first place for the most popular male celebrity in Xia country this quarter immediately changed hands.

"April" fans strongly pushed Su Yan back up.

What is a change of face? This is a change of face.

"April" fans cursed and swore at Su Yan all day long. But Su Yan successfully reversed their impression of him with just a second ending trailer video.

It really was, completely manipulated in the palm of his hand.

As for Shen Liqian...

After this trailer video came out, a bunch of clips about her Kaori Miyazono character and fan-made videos sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Before "April" started broadcasting, her status among Xia country actresses was weak first-tier. If she didn't have a new drama to air, she would likely fall out of the first-tier ranks and directly be ignored.

But now, her momentum in the industry is a bit exaggerated.

Where is she a weak first-tier actress?

Just in these few days, no female star in Xia country can match her in popularity.

A bunch of her fans, a large number of clips and videos emerged on the four major online broadcasting platforms.

Netizens spoke out for her, and there were a lot of posts criticizing Akasaka Yoshitoki.

Even because of the drama "April", the number of CP fans of Su Yan and Shen Liqian is growing at an exaggerated speed.

Xia country's "April" fans are eagerly looking forward to the second ending in three days.

Originally, this time was when the three major TV stations were promoting new dramas for the next season.

Now?

What new dramas for the next season, we don't care...

["April is Your Lie" new ending, depressing screenwriter Su Yan shows great compassion and fulfills fans' wishes.]

["April" IF ending, exclusively broadcast on Raccoon Network, 8 PM on Friday, all regrets will be made up for.]

[Even Su Yan can't resist the resentment of Xia country's tens of millions of fans, the second ending of "April" has become a symbol of his first compromise to the audience!]

["April" is ecstatic, the IF ending of "April" is coming, the true ending is here!]

The Xia country media also cooperated very well, reporting on "April" in turn in the following days.

Shen Liqian, who was staring at the online information about herself in her villa, had her heart pounding every day.

She knew very well that through the role of Kaori Miyazono, she had returned to her peak, or rather, it wasn't accurate to say returned, now was the true peak of her acting career.

She had never had such a great influence in the acting industry as she does today.

Just now, her agent called again, with invitations to be the female lead in two dramas from Shanghai TV and China Xia TV two seasons later.

Not an audition, but a direct invitation.

With Shen Liqian's current popularity, except for Akasaka Yoshitoki of Sakura TV still holding onto that old face without taking action, the other two TV stations have basically completely forgotten Akasaka Yoshitoki's banishment unspoken rule.

In the face of making money, your Akasaka Yoshitoki's face has not a shred of weight.

"Reject their invitations for me." Shen Liqian said to her agent without any hesitation.

"Eh? But those are big production drama female lead invitations from China Xia TV and Shanghai TV!" Agent He Qihua said in surprise.

"The role of Kaori Miyazono is enough for me to maintain a long-term popularity in the Xia country film and television industry... but for my next work, I want to wait and see for a while." Shen Liqian said softly.

"Wait and see for a while? Could it be said..."

"That's right, based on my understanding of Su Yan. It is absolutely impossible for him to have no action for two consecutive quarters... Compared to cooperating with Shanghai TV and China Xia TV. I would rather wait for news from Su Yan's side..." Shen Liqian said.

On Thursday, Su Yan finally moved out of the rental house where he had lived in this world for a year and came to a rented villa.

The GG implantation income, overseas broadcasting copyright fees, peripheral fees, plus the 12 million broadcasting introduction fee from Qingkong TV for April is almost 25 million.

But the biggest head is the data of over 13 million paid views per episode on Raccoon Network.

Even if it's a 50/50 split on both sides, that's more than 70 million in splits.

And this doesn't even include the sales of the single episode of the second ending of April.

However, after deducting corporate income tax from these revenues,

The overall income that the drama "April" brought to Su Yan's company is at least over 73 million.

After all, Su Yan is only the boss of a film and television company, and he doesn't have a TV station under his command. If a drama like "April" is placed in the hands of the three major TV stations, the TV station's single-quarter GG fee would be tens of millions or hundreds of millions, and those online broadcasting platforms are also controlled by the TV stations, so the TV station basically earns all of the online broadcasting sales of the TV series.

If it were broadcast on the three major stations, those TV stations might be able to earn 100 to 200 million in revenue from "April".

But Su Yan himself is working alone, and he can only earn this much from the drama "April".

But that's enough.

A profit margin of over 300% is an extremely exaggerated figure.

Although it's not enough to make Su Yan float.

But it's not enough to make him afraid to digest even a villa and a car with a rent of a million or so a year.

Making money is for spending.

Lying on the soft bed in the big house, looking at the scenery of the community outside the floor-to-ceiling windows and the warm sunlight shining into the room, Su Yan sighed.

"It's really good!"

In the next day or two, Su Yan emptied his mind and body. At this time, it was too late to make film and television dramas for the next season, so he simply drove to some tourist attractions around Shanghai to travel, shop, and have fun.

He's been in this world for a year, can't he enjoy and relax for a few days?

But when the time came to Friday.

While Su Yan was still appreciating the night scenery of a local scenic spot in another city, the fans of "April is Your Lie" gathered again tonight.

Unlike before, everyone just regarded Raccoon Network as a communication platform, just waiting for the Qingkong TV series to start broadcasting.

Today,

Raccoon Network is the home field.

At 8 PM tonight, the IF ending of "April" will be launched on time.
