“5.61%”

After Su Yan announced the viewership rating for the ninth episode of Tokyo Love Story to the crew, cheers erupted once again from the entire team.

Although all the Dong Ai (Tokyo Love Story) fans in Xia were criticizing Su Yan, it had basically no impact on the crew.

The show's 9.6 rating remained unchanged.

The average of 19 million paid views per episode on the online broadcast platform was reassuring.

The fact that television stations in twenty-two countries and regions overseas were preparing to import the show at high prices also explained everything.

Alright.

Su Yan's expression turned serious as he said loudly.

“Tokyo Love Story continues to lead in viewership ratings with its ninth episode. And as of today, the filming of Tokyo Love Story is officially wrapped up and finished!”

Gu Qingyuan, Shen Liqian, and director Shi Peihua, who were standing closest to Su Yan, also breathed a collective sigh of relief.

It's over.

The turbulent plot of this drama has finally come to an end.

Fortunately, we filmed an 'if' storyline, which gave everyone peace of mind, understanding that fan riots are unlikely when the 'if' storyline airs.

Otherwise, for at least a few months, no one except Shen Liqian would dare to walk on the street without disguising themselves.

They were really afraid of extreme fans.

The fans' resentment grew deeper day by day, and even the usually quiet Gu Qingyuan was a little afraid to open her phone.

Her verified account received hundreds of thousands of abusive comments every day, and even she found it difficult to ignore them.

“Next, our company and crew will have a half-month vacation. The wrap-up parties for Tokyo Love Story and Puella Magi Madoka Magica will be held together in three days. And then in half a month...” Su Yan paused.

“The company will recruit a group of film industry professionals to mix with our existing staff and form two crews to shoot 'Like a Bouquet of Love' and '5 Centimeters Per Second'. Everyone, be prepared!”

“Understood!”

“Got it.”

“We know!”

“No problem, boss!”

The company members each had a glint of contemplation in their eyes.

Shi Peihua was mainly responsible for filming television dramas, and she was getting older, making some things beyond her capabilities.

Film shooting is different from television dramas, and Su Yan had already secured the participation of two extremely famous and accomplished directors from Xia for his two films.

For Su Yan now, the selection of personnel for filming in the film and television industry was no longer a difficult problem.

Those top-tier personnel exclusive to certain companies were indeed impossible to cooperate with, but the slightly less exclusive freelancers were actually not bad either. As long as there was money, it wouldn't be a problem to hire them.

After all, the scripts that Su Yan took out were not bad.

After arranging the work, Su Yan's expression relaxed.

“In two weeks, this drama will be over again.” Shinozaki Ikumi walked to Su Yan's side and handed him a stack of plans and allocation documents that needed his signature.

“And there's not even a month left until the end of the year!”

“Yeah, this is the third year I've worked with you, right?” Su Yan thought.

Three years after transmigrating to this world, achieving such results was not fast, but it was not slow either.

But Su Yan really had a sense of being in another world.

“I haven't counted those... but you're right.” Shinozaki Ikumi took a deep breath.

“One work after another, unknowingly, we have grown to our current position in the industry.” As Shinozaki Ikumi spoke, she took out a stack of black invitation cards from her arms.

She handed several of them to Su Yan.

Nomination invitation for the Xia Yan Award.

Best Screenplay Nomination.

Best Television Drama Nomination.

Best Actor Nomination.

Best Television Drama Music Creation Nomination.

Among these, Border Walker and Tokyo Love Story were both nominated for Best Screenplay, Best Television Drama, and Best Television Drama Music Creation.

And only David from Border Walker was nominated for Best Actor.

Su Yan thought that the reason was simple. With the current criticism of Yūji Nagao, the organizing committee would not nominate him for Best Actor based on this role.

“And there's more than just these...” Shinozaki Ikumi shook the two invitation cards in her hand.

“Best Producer Award. Both Border Walker and Tokyo Love Story have been nominated.”

“And Gu Qingyuan has been nominated for Best Actress for her role as Lucy. Shen Liqian has also been nominated for this award for her role as Rika Akana.”

“Shi Peihua has been nominated for Best Director for both dramas. Our company's makeup artists, art designers, and others have been nominated for Best Costume Design, Best Art Design, etc.”

“In total, our company members have received a total of twenty-one nomination invitations for various awards for the two dramas that our company aired this year.”

Shinozaki Ikumi finished speaking in one breath, her beautiful face overflowing with pride.

“We will definitely have a great harvest at the Xia Yan Awards in January!”

“But shouldn't the invitations be sent out in early January?” Su Yan asked in confusion.

“With the success of Dong Ai and Border Walker, it's not necessary to wait until the end of December to determine whether they have a chance to receive invitations.” Shinozaki Ikumi's voice was excited and agitated.

“The organizing committee is sending out invitations in advance as a sign of their importance to our company's works and to you, Su Yan.”

“There's no need to be too excited.” Su Yan paused and said softly.

“How is it possible not to be excited? Have you forgotten the last Xia Yan Awards, when we were all nominated but only served as supporting actors, and the organizing committee didn't give the award to April under the influence of the three major television stations? Now it's time to vent our anger.” Shinozaki Ikumi's voice was somewhat resentful.

“Of course, I still remember.” Su Yan smiled.

“But times have changed. Back then, our company had just been established and needed to win awards to expand the popularity of our company and our works. But now...”

“We don't need these awards to prove our strength anymore. On the contrary, the Xia Yan Awards organizing committee needs to nominate us and give us the awards to prove the fairness of their award selection mechanism and their judging level.”

“That's why I said there's no need to be excited. It's not that we're蹭 (ceng - freeloading/riding) the Xia Yan Awards' popularity, but that the Xia Yan Awards need us to go and receive the awards to prove that this award is still the number one award ceremony in Xia's television drama circle.”

Shinozaki Ikumi's expression froze, and after thinking carefully, it was indeed the case.

“And compared to the Xia Yan Awards selection, I'm more looking forward to whether The Garden of Words will win an award at next year's Xia Guó Film Festival awards.” Su Yan said.

“Just like the situation in April. We now need to win certain awards in the film industry. Then, when Hanabata and Byōsoku 5 Centimeter are released, it can be used as a promotional selling point for me as a screenwriter.”

“Ah, your thinking is really all realism. How come winning awards sounds like doing business in your mouth?” Shinozaki Ikumi thought and said.

“After all, two hundred people up and down the company need us to work hard to keep their jobs. Of course, it's best to have awards, but they're not my biggest goal in moving forward in this industry.”

“Then what is your goal?” At this point, Shinozaki Ikumi asked curiously.

“Since I've entered this industry, naturally it's to live a life in this industry without regrets or regrets!” Su Yan smiled.

“Can I understand that... no regrets, no regrets, means... you have no opponents in the industry, you are the undisputed leader in the industry? Becoming a legend in the industry without losing once?” Shinozaki Ikumi paused and asked.

“Your thinking is very agile this time, you have completely understood what I mean.” Su Yan said.

“And it's not just me alone, but our entire company together.”

Su Yan looked at the planning documents for the company's future works on the table and said.

“The achievements we have made now are just the beginning.”

A few days later, Madoka Magica and Dong Ai wrapped up.

At the celebration banquet, Su Yan specially invited a group of reporters to interview and film, releasing news to promote the two works.

China Central Television also began to vigorously promote the finale of Dong Ai.

As for the audience.

Having seen the ninth episode, the audience can probably feel the final direction of the drama.

But they still have expectations, hoping that the ending will give Rika a happy ending.

On Xing Xia Online, the broadcast plan for Dong Ai's 'if' ending also began to discuss the promotion efforts and resource allocation with the website负责人 (fù zé rén - person in charge).

Under the film and television market, undercurrents surged.

Above the market, all drama fans were staring at the broadcast of the last two episodes of this drama.

In this atmosphere.

The autumn season entered its final stage.

The tenth episode of Tokyo Love Story premiered on Sunday night.
