Depressive Screenwriter

With Su Yan's current influence, these announcements released on the Dimensional Film and Television Company's official website were heavily reported by various news media on the front pages of online broadcasting platforms in less than half a day.

Su Yan's fans and colleagues in the film and television industry felt a sense of absurdity at this moment.

Is Su Yan really human?

Anyone involved in this industry has, to some extent, been involved in screenwriting or has witnessed the working state of screenwriters.

Creation is extremely painful. A movie takes viewers two hours to watch.

But to create their scripts, most screenwriters work for months. For some perfectionist screenwriters, sometimes a single character line can take days.

Undoubtedly, Su Yan's scripts can be called masterpieces, but how does Su Yan manage to combine both quality and quantity in his works?

You launched the production plans for two films while creating the scripts for 'Tokyo Love Story' and 'Madoka Magica' and participating in them.

Can you really have such an explosion of inspiration when creating scripts of this level?

"It's a bit perverted."

"Two more romance movies?"

"Are they the same type of works as 'The Garden of Words'?"

"It seems so. 'A Bouquet of Love' sounds like that kind of theme, but '5 Centimeters per Second'? Hmm, a racing movie?"

"My math isn't good, how much is 5 centimeters per second?"

"180 meters per hour."

"That's a snail, right? It doesn't seem to have anything to do with racing!"

"Don't think about these things with Su Yan's works, just support them when they come out."

"I still don't understand 'Tokyo Love Story,' and there's already news that 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' will premiere next April, and then there are two more movies to be produced. This is really a bit scary."

"Isn't high output good? Talented people with high output mean we drama fans won't suffer from a drama drought. Don't be like some screenwriters who become famous with one work, and then take three to five years to finally release a second work. We watch it with anticipation, but those three to five years ultimately result in a big pile of crap!"

"But with such a fast creation speed, I'm worried about the quality declining!"

"Huh? I think Su Yan's worst work, 'Life is Strange,' is actually amazing. Don't think about this kind of problem."

"Before Su Yan actually creates a pile of crap, my expectations for any of his new dramas are celestial herbs."

"Fast creation speed has nothing to do with low quality. It's just that a bunch of mediocre people like to use this reason as an excuse. A bunch of movies from the last century were created from script to filming and release in one or two months and are now regarded as classics. On the other hand, many movies now are painstakingly polished for two or three years, and after they are released, they turn out to be a pile of crap, disgusting."

"I don't have any requirements for these two movies from Old Thief Su Yan, as long as they have the quality of 'The Garden of Words,' I will support them with at least three viewings."

"Speaking of which, Su Yan's reputation has changed so quickly! Yesterday, a bunch of people were scolding him for the plot of 'Tokyo Love Story,' but today they're all discussing his new movie news?"

"Is there any need to say? Everyone isn't stupid. There are many people who scold Su Yan, but have you seen anyone scold Su Yan for being bad? They all scold him for the abusive plot and his perverse taste! When he really releases a new work, there are still many people who look forward to it."

News of the two movies, 'A Bouquet of Love' and '5 Centimeters per Second,' really caused a stir in Xia Country for several days.

But it was limited to this.

This quarter, Su Yan's fans are most concerned about 'Tokyo Love Story.'

Just a few days later, a group of viewers' attention returned to this drama.

On Sunday, the eighth episode of 'Tokyo Love Story' premiered.

In fact, from the fifth episode onwards, 'Tokyo Love Story' has been playing a game of extreme balance between the four main characters.

Although Mikami is a playboy, he is sincere towards Rimi.

Before he was with Rimi, he liked Nagazaki Naoko from the same school, so when Nagazaki Naoko came to approach him during his relationship, he couldn't resist.

But at least, he didn't cheat during the relationship, nor did he have any behavior that crossed the line with Nagazaki Naoko.

It was just that Rimi herself lacked confidence and didn't accept Mikami's previous ambiguity with Nagazaki Naoko, so she took the initiative to propose a breakup.

And after she broke up with Mikami, she ran to Nagao for comfort.

Although she didn't explicitly say she wanted to break up Nagao and Rika, Rika noticed Nagao's wavering, and the naturally insecure Rika and Nagao had a crisis of trust. The plot began with the two repairing their relationship, and then another cycle of trust crisis.

Objectively speaking, the plot is a bit repetitive.

But the problem is that the character of Rika is portrayed too well in this drama.

Most viewers don't have much resistance to this kind of development.

As long as they put themselves in Rika's perspective in the drama, their emotions will also be on a roller coaster with Rika's experiences.

And strictly speaking.

Shinkai Makoto's train scene in '5 Centimeters per Second' is very likely inspired by the scene in the eighth episode of 'Tokyo Love Story' where Rika and Nagao quarrel.

The same roads on both sides, the same Rika and Nagao looking at each other across the tracks, the same train passing by.

The only difference is that the audience understands that after the train passes in '5 Centimeters per Second,' the male and female protagonists will never see each other again in this life.

And in 'Tokyo Love Story,' the audience knows that Rika is just angry.

She likes Nagao so much that even if she leaves in the eighth episode, she will continue to make the greatest effort for their relationship in the ninth and tenth episodes.

Of course, after this episode aired.

The scolding Su Yan received from Xia Country fans far exceeded the previous ones.

After all, in this episode, he directly made a bunch of Xia Country viewers stunned on the spot with Rimi's famous line when she was emotionally down, "To me, you are still the object of my unchanging admiration!", and then their anger value exploded.

He really said it.

In fact, everyone can see that.

Although Nagao and Rika are a couple, he still has a trace of unsevered affection for Rimi buried deep in his heart.

But the problem is that this kind of affection for the white moonlight is normal, but you can't express it.

If it's expressed, what about Rika?

In the previous plot, he was just indecisive.

But after this episode, the protagonist Nagao Kanji in this drama has his status reduced to the lowest in the audience's hearts.

However, corresponding to Su Yan being scolded, the viewership rating of the eighth episode of 'Tokyo Love Story' climbed to a new high again.

5.54%.

In fact, Su Yan had already known which characters would be scolded and which characters would be liked after this drama aired.

The attitude of 'Tokyo Love Story' fans in his previous life explained everything.

But for the drama 'Tokyo Love Story,' it doesn't matter if all the members of the main cast are hated by the audience, the viewership rating of this drama will definitely not decrease.

As long as the character of Rika can maintain her persona, then 'Tokyo Love Story' is an immortal romance drama.

Su Yan and the audience in Xia Country are very clear.

What is the reason that allows the audience to continue watching this drama until now.

Everyone just wants to see Rika.

In recent days, Su Yan has been going out in the Tokyo area fully armed, wrapped up tightly.

Including Gu Qingyuan as well.

After the eighth episode aired, the two characters Nagao Kanji and Sekiguchi Rimi topped the blacklists of Xia Country film and television male and female characters with overwhelming advantages!

In the Tokyo area, some fanatical 'Tokyo Love Story' fans who couldn't stand the plot had already started looking for trouble nearby.

The fans on the mainland side are still relatively rational.

But the passionate and chuuni fans in the Sakura Island area have already started holding signs and protesting outside various crews that Su Yan cannot hurt Akana Rika in the following plot.

The Xia Country media and drama critics have also started eating melons.

This drama 'Tokyo Love Story' has too much topicality.

A drama that shapes the male lead and female second into this kind of image has not collapsed in viewership or reputation, only the screenwriter and actors are being scolded madly. This is simply a miracle.

The plot of each episode is extremely topical.

Including every line of the characters inside, the rhythm of the plot, outsiders think that the two characters Rimi and Nagao that Su Yan created are terribly annoying. But the screenwriters in the industry are studying them with a magnifying glass.

In this atmosphere, the ninth episode of 'Tokyo Love Story' premiered.

Nagazaki Naoko, the female third who is already arranged by her parents to marry her fiancé, took the initiative to find Mikami before the wedding date.

Rika, who obtained the qualification to work abroad, hoped that Nagao would keep her, but in exchange, she got Nagao's reply, "It's too heavy for me to decide your life!"

And Nagao and Rimi, who were both in a depressed mood, actually comforted each other, and even staged a wave of you know my heart, I understand your intentions.

In fact, when Su Yan watched the 'Tokyo Love Story' TV series to this point in his previous life, he had already scolded the male lead Nagao and the female lead Rimi all over.

Not to mention that at the end of this episode, Nagao chose to ditch his date with Rika for Rimi, which made the audience even more angry.

If it were other romance dramas, and there was such a frustrating plot, Su Yan's first reaction would be to click the X.

But it is the character of Rika that allows him to continue watching.

All 'Tokyo Love Story' fans can actually follow this drama, just to see Rika's ending.

But even so, this little bit of testing the audience's bottom line still made the fans gnash their teeth.

"No wonder Mikami, Rimi, and Nagao can become friends, no wonder Rika can't fit into them. Not a family, not entering the same door!"

"This drama has reshaped my worldview. Other romance dramas are telling you what true love is invincible, as long as there is true love, all difficulties can be overcome. But 'Tokyo Love Story' tells me that everything will change. Only silly girls like Rika will firmly like Nagao, and the speed at which the other people in the drama change their minds is faster than I eat!"

"What a realistic romance drama!"

"At the beginning of this drama, I thought Mikami was the worst of the trio. But seeing it now, I found that Mikami is the best. Although he is a playboy, he has a bottom line. Rimi and Nagao both have a lower limit than Mikami!"

"Rimi, go to hell. Nagao was about to go out to make up with Rika, but this idiot told Nagao not to go."

"Women are more determined than men at critical moments. At the moment Nagao went out, Rimi knew that this was the stage where she and Rika would decide the victory. If she keeps Nagao here, she wins. If Nagao chooses to meet with Rika, she is the loser. Rimi won."

"So this drama, Rimi won? I'm so angry!"

"Not necessarily, there may be a reversal in the later plot. After all, 'Tokyo Love Story' only ends in the eleventh episode, this is only the ninth episode. But I have to say, this episode is Rika's darkest moment!"

"Otherwise, why do you see Mikami and Rika getting along so well? Although these two don't mean anything to each other, the essence between them can be said to be that they clearly know that everyone has a lower limit, and it's not low."

"My whole family laughed directly tonight watching the ninth episode."

"Scolding is scolding, but there really hasn't been a romance drama in Xia Country for so many years that is more classic than 'Tokyo Love Story.' This is the first time I've watched a drama and found that it actually has so many discussion hotspots every week. From Monday to Sunday, millions of people are spraying characters online every day."

"Old Thief Su Yan, is he deliberately setting the plot like this!"

"Is there any need to say? People in the screenwriting industry understand. Being able to arrange a plot with such a large information density in a forty-minute plot, every episode is so unexpected, and every episode can contribute famous lines, how heaven-defying it is. I used to think Su Yan's dramas were just so-so, but I'm really kneeling for 'Tokyo Love Story.'"

"So many screenwriters can't play the love triangle well. 'Tokyo Love Story' has created the five-corner love plot to perfection. To put it bluntly, the deep-level dimensions of each character in this drama are quite a lot. Everyone scolds each character, but if you analyze it carefully, you will understand that each character's behavior has its logic in it, and there are pitiful places."

"Alas, just let Rika figure it out in this drama and take the initiative to break up with Nagao. In fact, a happy ending doesn't necessarily mean that the male and female protagonists have to be together. A happy ending is that the protagonists gain peace of mind. Thinking of such a good girl like Rika liking this guy Nagao, I feel uncomfortable!"

"But Rika's persona is like this, infatuated. If she could give up, she wouldn't be her."

"The stable performance of this drama is Mikami. He slept with Nagazaki Naoko again in this episode. I don't even want to complain."

"The most stable character in the whole drama. The persona hasn't changed from beginning to end!"

"This is the first time I've appreciated a playboy so much. It can only be said that there are too many abnormal characters in this drama, but the playboy has become cute instead."

"Question Mikami, understand Mikami, become Mikami!"

"It's so cool to put yourself in Mikami's perspective in this drama!"

"Damn it, that's true!"

"I was amused by your comments."

"Judging from the current plot, I feel that Nagao will definitely break up with Rika."

"Not necessarily, the ideological changes of these characters in this drama are only in an instant. Before the ending comes out, everything is unknown!"
