Depressive Screenwriter

Suzuyan's behavior pattern changed, and Ikumi Shinozaki, who worked with Suzuyan almost every day, noticed the abnormality immediately.

Under normal circumstances, if the shooting ended, Suzuyan would mostly drive around Tokyo in search of delicious food, but these days, after his scenes in the crew were finished, he locked himself in his office.

Shinozaki Ikumi knew this behavior pattern all too well.

Counting it up, the filming of Fate/Zero was basically coming to an end.

Although it wouldn't premiere for another three months, and there would be another three months of broadcasting time after the premiere, Suzuyan's current footage had six months of post-production time.

However, there were just too many special effects in FZ, and Suzuyan wasn't prepared to rush things, so even though he had been busy with the release promotion of two movies, he had been working overtime to catch up on filming after returning to Tokyo. So in reality, the filming progress of the two works was actually ahead of schedule.

Often at this time, Suzuyan, as the company owner, had to consider more than just the immediate issue of the film and television series going online, but also the company's work direction for the next six months to a year.

After noticing that Suzuyan was acting strangely for two days in a row, Shinozaki Ikumi finally couldn't help it on the third day.

"Do you have a new script idea?"

"Yes," Suzuyan nodded and smiled when he heard this.

"Is it that obvious? You could tell?"

"No, your life is too monotonous. Every day it's just eating, filming, going home. If you don't eat immediately after filming, then you're working overtime writing a script. I've known you for almost five years, your behavior pattern is too easy to guess," Shinozaki Ikumi said, then a hint of curiosity appeared in her clear, bright eyes.

"What kind of work? From what aspect are you going to start torturing people again? Let me think, your previous works involved parallel universes, time travel, sickness and death, long-distance relationships, and the hero cheating in the ending of the Tokyo Love Story... and Fate/Zero, the ending where the heroine Artoria is betrayed by her master is also quite difficult to accept. The direction of depression is ever-changing... I can't even figure out what direction your new work will take next!"

"No one will never change. Besides, even you, the person in the film and television industry who knows me best, thinks that I'm going to create a depressing script, so how could I proceed according to everyone's expectations," Suzuyan chuckled.

"The scripts for the two works I'm going to release next are all grand reunion, dumpling-making scripts."

"I see, two greatly depressing works. What direction? Romance or special effects fantasy?" Shinozaki Ikumi automatically ignored information such as grand reunions and dumpling-making.

Shinozaki Ikumi didn't believe Suzuyan's so-called grand reunion at all.

"I'm telling the truth this time," Suzuyan emphasized.

"I know, I understand, so when will the two scripts be created?" Shinozaki Ikumi asked.

"No, that expression, you obviously don't believe me, right," Suzuyan said.

"I believe that you have created what you think is a grand reunion, dumpling-making script, but you are not a normal person, your understanding is different from the public's... Okay, we shouldn't dwell on this kind of thing," Shinozaki Ikumi said quickly.

"Now the filming of Rurouni Kenshin and FZ has entered the later stages, and they will be completed in half a month to a month and enter the post-production stage. At this time, your new script is coming in time, otherwise the hundreds of people in the company will have nothing to do!"

Suzuyan's expression was strange. Your Name has a very obvious open-ended, grand reunion HE ending, and there's no need to mention From Me to You. This work is pure love throughout, although the process may be a bit anxious to watch, the ending is definitely full of sweetness. Shinozaki Ikumi's performance also made Suzuyan sigh a big sigh of relief.

But on second thought, if Gen Urobuchi said before his transmigration that he was going to create a pure love work, Suzuyan estimated that he would also burst out laughing.

Suzuyan didn't dwell on this topic too much, and told Shinozaki Ikumi some news about his two scripts.

"A campus romance drama, 'From Me to You!'"

"And then a campus everyday romance life, 'Your Name'."

Shinozaki Ikumi thought for a while and asked.

"Are you planning to participate in these two works?"

Suzuyan had been deliberately weakening his role as an actor in his recent works.

After all, in addition to writing scripts, reviewing the details of the filmed footage, and participating in the performance, he also had to be responsible for writing the classic songs from the original works. These tasks added up to a huge workload, and Suzuyan couldn't handle it in the long run.

But the problem is, Suzuyan's fans want to see Suzuyan.

Even if it's just a cameo, it has great significance. So from Shinozaki Ikumi's point of view, she couldn't wait for Suzuyan to be the lead actor in every work.

"Me?" Suzuyan thought for a while and said.

"I'm almost twenty-five years old, let's forget about student roles and give a group of young people in Xia Country a chance."

"But you are now the company's number one traffic actor. Shen Liqian and Gu Qingyuan are far behind you. It would be a pity if your popularity wasn't utilized," Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Suzuyan.

"At least, pick one of the two works to be the lead actor!"

Suzuyan still wanted to say something.

"Let's just say it's settled. This is a participation invitation issued to you from the perspective of a producer, considering the performance of the work. I'll see which work you are suitable for after your two scripts are created," Shinozaki Ikumi didn't give Suzuyan a chance to refuse.

5 Centimeters Per Second didn't break 1.5 billion at the box office.

Love Like a Bouquet didn't surpass The Wind Rises. These were her two major concerns recently.

She had thought more than once in the past half month that if she had been tougher when the two films were established and forcibly arranged the male lead role of Love Like a Bouquet to Suzuyan.

Or if she had let Suzuyan play the role of the adult male lead in 5 Centimeters Per Second, would the two works have been able to take another step forward in terms of performance.

But everything was without ifs, and there was no regret medicine for her to eat. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.

"We'll talk about it later," Suzuyan sighed.

"I'll probably come up with the scripts for the two works in a week. We'll discuss the details then."

Mid-October

The market discussion sparked by 5 Centimeters Per Second and Love Like a Bouquet has basically subsided.

Whether it's the TV drama market or the film market, a large number of new works have become the focus of discussion among film and television fans.

The popularity of Suzuyan, Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan and others has begun to decline due to the lack of new works.

However, Suzuyan's true iron fans basically go to the Sakura Network, the Sakura TV official website, and the Dimensional Film and Television official website every day to check the latest material information of FZ and Rurouni Kenshin.

In Xia Country, because FZ directly compares the previous life to the fictional history of this world, Suzuyan will directly insert some informational text in the middle of each episode of the film and television series when it is actually broadcast to introduce the setting of Suzuyan's Western historical epic in his previous life.

Of course, these text pages interspersed in the TV series will only stay for a few seconds, so the amount of information will not be too large.

Therefore, regarding the historical background setting in FZ, Suzuyan directly wrote the historical epic stories of the main characters into articles and published them on the official website before the TV series was broadcast.

The Legend of Gilgamesh.

The Deeds of the Knight King.

The Story of the Conqueror King

If there are viewers who want to know more after the TV series is broadcast, they can go to the official website to learn about it.

Also, as the finished products of the cooperating special effects company come out, the design and production of peripheral products for the FZ work must also begin.

Although Suzuyan didn't make animation in Xia Country, it doesn't mean that live-action dramas can't have peripherals.

As long as live-action tokusatsu dramas such as Ultraman Kamen Rider are popular, they sell peripherals like crazy in Suzuyan's previous life.

Suzuyan's expectations for FZ are also the same.

Some works simply earn broadcasting copyright fees.

However, for some works, the majority of profits are in peripheral products.

If FZ becomes a hit after its launch in Xia Country, Suzuyan is interested in developing subsequent works, peripherals and games for the Fate series.

After all, it would be a waste to leave so much money in the company account untouched.

Under such circumstances

Tokyo.

Shinozaki Ikumi finally saw the scripts for the two works that Suzuyan had brought out.

The script for "From Me to You" was relatively long, so Suzuyan only created the early and mid-term.

And the movie script for "Your Name" was only tens of thousands of words in total.

After spending an afternoon in the office reading the relevant information, Shinozaki Ikumi's expression was surprised at this time, as if she had encountered something incredible.

"Suzuyan, are you sick recently?"

"Eh, why are you suddenly starting to curse me? Am I not in good spirits?" Suzuyan's expression darkened.

"Then are you in love?" Shinozaki Ikumi asked.

"No, there's no such thing at all. If you allow me to only be responsible for the script of my work, and try not to use or have me have less contact with other things, then maybe I can find time to have a relationship. But right now, I'm still single."

"Then forget it, it's best if you stay single for the rest of your life! Otherwise, with such a big ship as Dimensional Film and Television, I would definitely crash if I were to steer it," Shinozaki Ikumi carefully looked at the scripts of the two plays in her hand.

Needless to say, "Your Name" was just simple script text, but the ending

Wasn't that making up for the regret in "5 Centimeters Per Second"?

The same train crossing, the male and female protagonists searching for each other, and finally finding each other in the case of memory loss.

Is this the script that Suzuyan can write?

If it were the previous Suzuyan, this play would have ended when the meteorite destroyed Itomori Town.

And although I didn't see the ending of "From Me to You", but just the early plot.

This style.

These details.

The inner depiction of the heroine Sawako Kuronuma.

Is this a script that a boy can create?

Also, this script of "From Me to You", from the first scene to the ending of the script that Suzuyan brought out, is full of sweetness everywhere. Perhaps there will be some twists and misunderstandings in the middle, but the overall style is pure love.

And from Shinozaki Ikumi's years of accumulation of TV dramas, in her impression, there is no drama whose plot is more youthful and pure love than this.

Although the TV series has not been produced or broadcast, Shinozaki Ikumi can already predict that the title of the ceiling of pure love will definitely not be able to escape after the broadcast of this drama.

But, how could this kind of play come from Suzuyan's hands?

"Suzuyan, do you understand that this is fraud? Do you know how many of your fans will have their beliefs collapse after "From Me to You" airs?" Shinozaki Ikumi thought of this and couldn't help but laugh.

"A group of fans who come to watch depressing TV dramas by smelling the fragrance, being fed sweet pure love dog food by you every week, that scene, it's funny just thinking about it."

"I told you, these two works are pure love! It's you who don't believe it," Suzuyan said.

"How could I believe it!"

"What are you saying? Although you may not see it, I'm actually a pure love party!" Suzuyan said with a calm expression.

"You used to misunderstand me too deeply!"

"..." Shinozaki Ikumi
