Depressive Screenwriter

After the Spring Festival period, the Spring Festival movies reached another Sunday, and the daily box office plummeted. Even "Rurouni Kenshin," which had the highest number of screenings, saw its daily box office drop to only 92 million.

"Breaking the Formation" was even lower, with a daily box office of only 79 million. Basically, these movies earned more than 60% of their total box office in the first week of release during the Spring Festival.

Basically, everyone who wanted to watch Spring Festival movies had already seen them.

The moviegoers after the Spring Festival were either repeat viewers or people from rural areas who didn't have movie theaters near their hometowns during the holiday, so they were catching up on tickets after the Spring Festival.

But these people were relatively few.

However, judging from the current situation, "Rurouni Kenshin" leads the Spring Festival releases with a box office of 1.92 billion, more than 50 million higher than "Breaking the Formation." Basically, there is not much suspense about this year's Spring Festival box office champion.

For the Spring Festival movie market, the focus is on whether "Rurouni Kenshin" and "Breaking the Formation" can grind their total box office to the 3 billion mark in the next month.

The heat of the Spring Festival movie market comes and goes quickly.

After all, there aren't many points to discuss about the plot of the Kenshin movie. Although Su Yan's action scenes are beautiful, the fans' praise has basically reached its end after a week.

In Xia Country, the focus of Su Yan's fans has returned to the popular Xia Country TV series "Fate/Zero."

During the Spring Festival, the popularity of this TV series was temporarily suppressed by a number of movies.

But once the Spring Festival was over...

The popularity and discussion of "FZ" soared.

The public opinion influence of a movie lasts only one or two weeks, but the popularity of a truly breakout TV series lasts at least one or two quarters.

Although most viewers prefer to have fun during the Spring Festival, the viewership of "FZ" quietly reached 5.72%.

Judging from the current situation, this is very likely to become the third TV series created by Su Yan with a viewership rating exceeding 6%.

Starting from Sunday during the day, the topic of "FZ" kept rising in popularity in major forum fan groups.

"It's another Sunday! Looking forward to it!"

"Last week's Three Kings Meeting made me uncomfortable for a week. Although I admit that Alexander was right, I was really angry that he said that about Artoria's dream."

"It's just a collision between idealists and realists. Artoria is a noble person, strict with herself, strict with those around her, strictly abiding by the law, and without selfishness. But no one would be friends with such a person. Alexander knew this, so he said that to her. If a moral saint becomes a king, what will the subordinates do? Looking at this person every day is like looking in a mirror, only feeling their own filth and不堪."

"That's right, I had a very upright classmate in college. Her roommate cheated on the final exam, and she reported it on the spot. I admit that her approach was correct, and she was right to report unfair things, but I feel scared to think of such a person as my friend, lover, superior, or subordinate."

"Indeed... Gilgamesh and Alexander saw her problem at a glance. How can wishing on the Holy Grail restore her already destroyed country? As long as she is still the king, this country will eventually perish."

"Stop talking, Alexander is okay, Su Yan's Gilgamesh is a scumbag! I always feel that this character is annoying!"

"It's a bit too arrogant, making me very uncomfortable."

"It seems that everyone doesn't like these characters who like to pretend!"

"In the only role Su Yan has participated in, I hope he dies quickly."

"I hope the plot of the seventh episode tonight will cheer Artoria up. I don't want the old thief to hurt this lovely girl again."

"That's right, Artoria is just a girl who wants to redeem her mistakes, why is a group of people in this drama targeting her?"

"Perhaps, the only one who can truly understand Artoria is Lancer Diarmuid! After all, both of them are knights!"

At eight o'clock in the evening, the seventh episode of "FZ" premiered.

It can be said that the contradictions buried in the previous plot completely erupted in this episode.

Gilgamesh is dissatisfied with Tokiomi Tohsaka's differences in philosophy with him, and tempts Tokiomi Tohsaka's disciple, Kirei Kotomine, to think about things that go beyond the rules.

But it is this idea of going beyond the rules that makes him, who has always had no emotions, feel excitement and transgression.

The friendship between Artoria and Irisviel, the wife of Kiritsugu Emiya, is still heating up.

Gilles de Rais and his master, the murderer Ryuunosuke Uryuu, understand each other and have a feeling of close friendship.

Waver Velvet is inferior because his weakness drags down Alexander, but Alexander encourages Waver, saying that inferiority is the starting point for the path of kings and hegemony.

Sola-Ui Nuada-Re Sofia, as Lancer Diarmuid's new master, carries her love for him and lets him fight to his heart's content.

As for Berserker and his master Kariya Matou, they are still going crazy.

The big scene that was foreshadowed from the first episode to the seventh episode erupted as Gilles de Rais summoned a huge monster in the lake in the center of the city.

The seven masters and seven servants gathered...

A melee is about to break out.

But the plot of the seventh episode ends abruptly here.

"The old thief is sick! It's cut off here again."

"There are so many literary scenes in this episode. But it was so enjoyable to watch."

"The special effects scene is really shocking. The scene where Gilles de Rais summons the huge tentacle monster is really awesome."

"I thought the Gilles de Rais and Ryuunosuke Uryuu combination was just a sidekick in the Holy Grail War, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful."

"Speaking of which, the weakest servant in the Holy Grail War is Hassan, right? Really trash, directly killed by the Great Emperor."

"It can only be said that he met Alexander. It's really difficult for others to deal with him, there are too many clones."

"Alexander should be the strongest servant in this Holy Grail War, right? How can others fight against the appearance of that unique enchantment that summons thousands of troops and horses?"

"It's hard to say, Artoria probably didn't show her full strength either. And that Gilgamesh, he looks like he has trump cards!"

"Alas, the old thief's cliffhanger is too disgusting."

"Get used to it..."

"Am I the only one who thinks the plot rhythm is too slow? Seven episodes have been broadcast, and only one Hassan has died among the seven servants, and none of the seven masters have died. How long will this take to fight?"

"Maybe there will be a second season!"

"No, go and check the official website information. 'FZ' is a work that will end in the winter season. The only difference is that there will be a few more episodes, probably about thirteen or fourteen episodes."

"Does that mean it's only been broadcast halfway through?"

"Probably."

"Brothers, see you next week. I'm going to bed early."

"I'm going to review the 'Rurouni Kenshin' TV series."

"Speaking of which, the 'Rurouni Kenshin' movie is so popular that it seems to have also made the 'Rurouni Kenshin' TV series popular."

"That's for sure! It's the TV series with the highest recent sales on Sakura.com, even higher than the popular 'FZ'. After several years, the 'Rurouni Kenshin' TV series is popular again. According to this trend, it's not a problem for the average paid viewing sales to reach 20 to 30 million."

The first Sunday after the Spring Festival.

The accumulated popularity of the 'Rurouni Kenshin' movie, TV series, and the 'FZ' TV series has once again made Su Yan the absolute center of the public opinion storm in the Xia Country film and television entertainment industry.

The current Su Yan is both the king of Xia Country's TV drama ratings and the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival in the film industry, waiting only for the movie to be taken off the screens to directly certify this achievement.

It can be said that Su Yan has reached the top in both the TV series and movie directions, unifying the public opinion of the TV series circle and the movie circle.

This is a real earthquake for the Xia Country film and television industry.

Su Yan's influence and historical status have increased dramatically.

The next day at noon, the viewership rating for the seventh episode of "FZ" was announced, at 5.79%.

Su Yan also appropriately used his current popularity to post a message on his creator account.

[From now on, the drama 'FZ' enters the main line.]

Su Yan can be considered to have breathed a sigh of relief after "FZ" has been broadcast until now.

This work is good-looking, but it's too slow to heat up, and the highlights are all in the second half.

But now...

The foreshadowing plot is over, and the beauty of the servants and the Holy Grail War has been introduced in the first half of the plot.

The second half is a thorough slaughter and depression.
