Depressive Screenwriter

Gentle music began to play.

【It's a dream!】

A gorgeously dressed girl got up and opened the curtains of the room.

Bright sunshine, fair and beautiful face, bright eyes, lively and lovely smile, pink hair fluttering in the wind.

Yes, that's it.

This is what we want to see!

The following preview scenes:

An evil witch, a cute rabbit that suddenly appears, a plea to become a magical girl, and the determination to fulfill a wish. And Gu Qingyuan's black stockings and JK uniform.

With the blessing of music and visuals, this trailer satisfied a bunch of fans' expectations.

Moreover, Gu Qingyuan and Shen Liqian's dialogue in the trailer had a strong CP feel.

It seems that not having a male lead isn't a big deal.

"OMG! I declare that Madoka Magica will win the Best TV Drama Award at this year's Xia Yan Awards!"

"Let's see who dares to say this drama will definitely be a tragedy this time!"

"A story about a group of girls becoming magical girls in order to defeat an evil witch and fulfill their wishes. That's right, this is the kind of TV drama that suits the constitution of Xia country's babies!"

"As long as there's Lixiang's drama, I'll definitely watch it."

"I'm already suffering from a disease where I can't concentrate if I don't pay attention to Shen Liqian."

"I'm relieved! As long as there's no romance, even if Su Yan creates a tragedy, it won't be too虐."

"Has Su Yan, the old thief, really changed his style?"

"Has he given up on being depressing? Although I'm quite happy, I'm still a little unaccustomed to it."

"Just this art style and music style, needless to say, top-notch!"

"I only see eye candy. A story of five beautiful girls, Su Yan, the old thief, knows me too well! Romance between men and women is outdated, the friendship between girls is the real deal."

"Although I wasn't optimistic about this drama at first, I was still moved after watching the trailer. This kind of cute style TV drama seems pretty good."

"And the magical girl transformation scene in the trailer is really interesting! How did they come up with this kind of creativity?"

"I've already foreseen that during the July summer season, a large number of film and television companies in Xia country will produce imitation dramas."

"Su Yan, the old thief, creates magical girls, and his peers will borrow a wave of magical boys~"

"Why are you all so optimistic? Has no one thought that this trailer is deceiving us?"

"Don't be so paranoid. It's meaningless to always use the worst malice to speculate about Su Yan, the old thief!"

"Su Yan's dramas that are depressing are all in the romance genre. As for Madoka Magica, I don't see any depressing points. You don't think this drama can also be turned into a tragedy, do you!"

"Not necessarily! In Su Yan's dramas, anything is possible in terms of plot development. You guys just continue to be optimistic, I'll raise my vigilance first anyway."

On Xingxia Online, the trailer for Madoka Magica was released first.

Following closely, on Zhongxia TV, the trailer for Madoka Magica also landed during prime time.

In less than half a day, news about Madoka Magica topped the trending charts in the film and television industry.

Xia country's media also began to蹭流量.

【Su Yan's new drama promotion begins, Madoka Magica seems to be taking a new path in terms of style from the trailer.】

【Madoka Magica trailer goes online for three hours, with over six million views. Su Yan's dramas have a leading level of attention in Xia country.】

【A campus youth friendship drama? Madoka Magica seems extremely mediocre from the trailer. Can such a drama withstand the fans of Tokyo Love Story?】

【Madoka Magica is just an uninspired reskin drama. The setting has no highlights, and the highlights of the trailer are all on the appearance of the main actors. From the trailer, it can be predicted that this drama will likely flop!】

【Genius screenwriter Su Yan's another masterpiece after Tokyo Love Story, can Madoka Magica replicate the broadcast popularity of Tokyo Love Story and become another representative work in Su Yan's creative career?】

【The total production cost of Madoka Magica is 87 million. The total production cost of Sakura TV's S-level drama Musou has reached a staggering 92 million after the later addition. If Musou's ratings this quarter lose to Madoka Magica again, Akasaka Yoshiji's career in Xia country's film and television industry will come to an end.】

【It is rumored that the broadcasting rights of Madoka Magica sold to Zhongxia TV are as high as 49 million, which is just the broadcasting rights, comparable to the production cost of a high-standard A-level drama. In addition to Madoka Magica's co-branded contracts and GG implantation contracts, perhaps this drama will recover most of its production costs before it even starts broadcasting.】

The fans' and media's heated discussions pushed the popularity of Madoka Magica to the highest point within a day.

Akasaka Yoshiji of Sakura TV frowned as he looked at the market's reputation.

He was a little annoyed, but also very helpless.

But at least, he is still the head of the production department, and he has great power in the development of various businesses of the entire TV station.

He had never been so serious and unreserved about the broadcast of the station's dramas before.

But now that it has come to the critical moment of life and death, he can't care so much.

All connections and relationships were used.

Not only did he serve as the direct person in charge in various instructions and tasks, but even with such a huge investment in the drama Musou, he continued to ask the senior executives of the station for additional production funds.

The entire Sakura TV station, all channels, opened the green light for the drama Musou.

This is a drama that Akasaka Yoshiji bet everything on.

If it fails...

Akasaka Yoshiji looked at the photos of the senior management list of the production department in his room, and finally settled on Ogata Aya.

At that time, Ogata Aya and the senior executives of the board of directors behind her will definitely attack him.

The backers in the TV station's decision-making level will inevitably not be able to protect him.

In the next half month.

In every corner of Xia country's film and television industry, the GG of Madoka Magica and Musou hit everywhere.

Although Madoka Magica is far ahead in the expected value among fans.

But in the offline market, everyone's feelings are about the same.

Musou even has a better promotional effort on the two dramas.

After all, Akasaka Yoshiji is now doing everything he can, and he will use all the promotional resources he can get. As for the problem of taking the blame, he is not considering it now!

He also mobilized all his connections in the industry, asking them to speak out in the industry, expressing their disapproval and criticism of the drama Madoka Magica.

But the effect was just like that.

But people in the industry can feel the tense atmosphere between Sakura TV and Su Yan's Dimensional Film and Television Company.

Time came to the end of March.

Because the weather is getting warmer, it is the season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom.

The 5 Centimeters Per Second crew also began to shoot the scene in the first act, Cherry Blossom Copy, where cherry blossoms fell all over the sky, and the scene at the end of the third act, where the male lead Takaki met Akari after more than ten years.

Although Su Yan didn't serve as an actor, he still came to the set every day.

The movie and the original animation are still different, and if you change a director, there will definitely be some differences in the style of the work.

But Su Yan still clearly asked the director of 5 Centimeters Per Second to rely on the atmosphere of Makoto Shinkai's original work in the creative direction.

Maybe he will have other excellent insights into this script, but Su Yan will not gamble.

Su Yan is the investor and the number one boss of the crew, and the director will not do anything freely if Su Yan clearly has these requirements.

As a well-known romance film director in Xia country, he instead felt that Su Yan's opinions were quite unique, and then improved some shortcomings based on the opinions Su Yan put forward.

Of course, this movie is not without changes throughout the whole process.

At the end of the third act of 5 Centimeters Per Second, when the movie theme song sounded, there were a lot of interjected flashback shots flashing, but the interlude used in this shot cannot use the original version of the song.

After all, 5 Centimeters Per Second is a Xia country movie, and the vast majority of the box office is in the mainland region, and it is not very appropriate to have a Sakura Island language song in it.

Therefore, the song selected in this plot is a similar style song specially created by a well-known musician in Xia country at a heavy cost.

Overall, the shooting progress of 5 Centimeters Per Second is advancing little by little, and it will be completely completed in no more than two months and enter the post-production stage.

Then there is promotion and release.

At the end of March, Su Yan and Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan, Shi Peihua and other main creators went to Zhongxia TV to record two variety shows for the promotion of Madoka Magica.

In this way, March ended and April came.

After entering April, the atmosphere in Xia country's film and television industry changed again.

Madoka Magica fans occupy the majority of public opinion in the market, and are frantically promoting Madoka Magica in various forums.

As for Su Yan's haters, they all chose to support the drama Musou.

As for the main drama Cicada Singing on Shanghai TV this season...

What is that roadside?

Everyone is not interested at all, and the media is too lazy to report it.

In this season where there are two S-level dramas competing, all other works are just accompanying runners.

April 2, Friday.

Under the attention of a group of colleagues in the Xia country TV industry, the first episode of Sakura TV's Musou was successfully broadcast.

That night, the trending search terms of major news media and film and television forum websites in Xia country were all dominated by information related to Musou.

Su Yan has always only accused Akasaka Yoshiji of being bad, but has never said that he is incompetent.

From the script to the production level, the cast, and the promotion effort, there is nothing lacking in the drama Musou.

It represents the top level of Xia country's TV drama industry.

Even Su Yan's fans who hate Akasaka Yoshiji and the Xia country media who have been mocking him had to praise the quality of the first episode of this drama on Saturday.

There is really nothing to criticize.

Regardless of whether the plot will collapse later, the first episode of the drama Musou is very good!

If it weren't for Su Yan's Madoka Magica this season, many Xia country TV drama fans would even dare to announce in advance that this drama is the quarterly and even annual ratings champion.

At noon, the first episode ratings of the drama Musou came out.

5.11%.

Just talking about the premiere results...

In recent years, the first episode ratings of this S-level drama Musou are the highest.

It exceeded the first episode premiere results of The Edge Walker and Tokyo Love Story.

After all, Akasaka Yoshiji spent a lot of money on publicity, so the Xia country media is not surprised to have this result.

It's just that Su Yan's fans are a little stressed.

"It's a bit explosive!"

"5.11%, it's really outrageous."

"What will the first episode ratings of Madoka Magica be? Will we lose?"

"No, we will win!"

"You people who are worried about the old thief losing don't understand the popularity of the character Rika Akana at all, do you? As long as Shen Liqian plays the female lead in this drama, no matter how the plot develops later, at least in the first episode, Rika fans will give Madoka Magica face."

"Although 5.11% is a bit terrifying. But don't forget, the drama Musou is the challenger. It has to face Su Yan, who created a miracle of 6.02% ratings, and the new drama created after Tokyo Love Story."

"I can't stand it anymore. I feel like ants are crawling in my heart. Madoka Magica, give me a quick start!"

"Actually, I suddenly feel that Akasaka Yoshiji is quite pitiful. If it weren't for Su Yan, the old thief, Sakura TV, which he led last year, would have been able to win the annual ratings champion and runner-up. All the achievements that Su Yan, the old thief, achieved at the Xia Yan Awards would have been Sakura TV's. But now, even though he has produced such an excellent drama as Musou, everyone is still more optimistic about Su Yan, the old thief!"

"What is that? So many artists have left the industry because they were suppressed by Akasaka Yoshiji, aren't they pitiful? He is just an evil person who has met a god and been suppressed! It can only be said that he deserves it!"

"Looking forward to the first episode of Madoka Magica breaking all of Akasaka Yoshiji's illusions after it airs tomorrow night. Still thinking about surpassing the old thief? Get out of here...pack up and leave quickly!"

The controversy over the drama Musou lasted for a whole day.

But on Sunday, suddenly, the relevant controversy completely disappeared.

Xia country's TV drama fans' interest in Musou is limited to Friday and Saturday.

And Sunday...

Is the day when Madoka Magica airs.

All day long, Xia country's TV drama fans were obviously active.
