Depressive Screenwriter

"I cannot abandon my feelings for Guinevere, and I cannot forgive myself," Lancelot's voice echoed.

Above the ancient mountain of corpses, Artoria recalled these words and wept bitterly.

"But King Arthur! You never condemned me, nor did you ever ask me to atone. You simply stood firmly before us, pointing the way forward. Yet, I always wished you would judge me personally. If you had executed me, I would not have embarked on this mad path in search of atonement."

So...

This is why Lancelot wore a mask to participate in the Holy Grail War.

His wish was to die by the hand of his own king, completing his atonement from his past life. That's why, from the moment he appeared, he was always relentlessly pursuing Artoria in battle. He hoped that Artoria wouldn't hold back and would personally end his life in a fit of anger.

A tragic BGM played, and Xia Hui'ang broke out in goosebumps as he understood everything.

He thought that Lancelot, who had the least development and barely any lines in this work, became moving and tearful in the character's storyline, which was limited to no more than twenty sentences.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Artoria understood.

Her past nobility, her past adherence to justice, and her tolerance had caused so much harm to those around her.

A king who radiates light and possesses a towering image only makes everyone around them feel inferior, aware of their own baseness, leading them down extreme paths.

Xia Hui'ang's tears were evoked by Artoria's tears as she wept in the pile of corpses.

Please don't cry, you're making me want to cry.

"But one thing I can say for sure. King Arthur, you are the greatest king, and everyone under your command believes in you so much!"

Lancelot's final words echoed in Artoria's ears.

She raised her face, which was covered in tears.

"I will definitely obtain the Holy Grail. The one who should be king... shouldn't be me!"

Xia Hui'ang really felt sorry for her.

Why? Why can't you be a little selfish? What does this have to do with you?

You are only strict with yourself and lenient with others. They themselves have dark thoughts and seduce the queen, and you still think it's your fault?

There is no country in this world that will not perish. You have been fighting for the country your whole life. Even if there isn't a good outcome, you should be true to your heart. You're about to die, and you're still thinking about fighting for the country...

Sigh...

Xia Hui'ang really felt extremely uncomfortable.

Light flashed, and another burst of white light appeared before Artoria.

Xia Hui'ang was stunned.

What is this?

Could it be...

A second Holy Grail Summoning?

Thinking of this, Xia Hui'ang jumped up from the sofa excitedly.

Really?

The ending theme of Fate/Zero started playing.

Xia Hui'ang remembered Su Yan's recent updates.

There's an extra scene after the ending theme of this show.

What kind of extra scene?

Watching the ending theme, Xia Hui'ang was so anxious that he wanted to punch the TV.

Too slow!

The two-minute ending theme ended.

First to appear...

Was a trailer for "Kimi ni Todoke" (From Me to You).

Su Yan also knew that the audience watching here would likely be impatient with the trailer content, so he only previewed the title of the work, character designs, and premiere date, for a total of no more than five seconds.

Then came the trailer for the "Your Name" movie.

Similarly, it previewed the release date and character designs.

It was also a way to leave an impression on all the fans in Xia Country.

The specific promotion for the two works would have to wait until June or July to begin.

But next, the main event of the extra scene arrived.

The original galgame's orthodox BGM, "Emiya," started playing.

In a small, cramped wooden house, the camera deliberately shot from behind, unable to see his face, only knowing that it should be a boy in a high school uniform lying on the ground.

The bright moon, the gauze-like moonlight shone into the wooden house.

Bloodstains on the boy's clothes dripped onto the ground.

But he was completely unaware...

His pupils were only staring blankly at the magic circle that lit up in front of him, and the gradually clear voice of a girl within the circle.

A blue knight's uniform, silver armor on her arms, chest, and waist.

"I ask, are you my Master?"

The girl's dignified figure and the captivatingly beautiful face illuminated by the moonlight stunned the boy, and also stunned Xia Hui'ang and a large group of viewers in front of the TV.

The fans, who just a second ago were absolutely sure that the ending of this drama was too terrible and were cursing Su Yan in their hearts for giving Artoria such an ending, had a complete change of heart at this moment.

"I admit, I was too loud just now, Teacher Su Yan."

"Teacher Su Yan, I'm sorry."

"You are the number one heartwarming screenwriter in Xia Country who loves us fans the most."

""I knew it, how could such a great drama only have one season of thirteen episodes? Teacher Su Yan, you are the well-deserved god of screenwriters!"

"I love you, Teacher Su Yan!"

"Where are those people from half an hour ago? The one who said they were going to single out Teacher Su Yan and beat the shit out of him, speak up!"

"Half an hour ago, a group of people were cursing the old thief. Now they're collectively calling him teacher? Your faces are disgusting."

"So this plot means Artoria has a second chance at the Holy Grail War, right."

"Awesome, I'm speechless, this work is too awesome."

"My eyes are still red. Artoria cried me to death."

"It's a pity, Emperor and those people probably won't appear in the second Holy Grail War."

"What about Waver? Waver can show his face!"

"Sad... I don't know when this FSN will premiere!"

"At least half a year, right? After all, the special effects production also takes time. Everyone temporarily put aside their love for Artoria and pay more attention to 'Kimi ni Todoke' and the 'Your Name' movie in July."

"The promotional images for these two works feel quite warm. Pure love works?"

"How is that possible, it's all deception, I'm putting it here, it will definitely be extremely depressing~\

,""The default is that Old Thief's dramas are depressing. I thought Fate wasn't depressing, but it's all the same, this work is a drama that made me cry many times."

"Emperor, Diarmuid, Saber, Waver, Lancelot, there are too many characters that moved me."

"Old Thief's number one divine drama to date, no rebuttals accepted."

"I think Madoka Magica is number one, but if Madoka Magica is 100 points, then FZ is 99.9999, anyway, it's infinitely close, just can't catch up with Madoka Magica."

"The ratings have already exceeded it, still Madoka Magica number one?"

"What can ratings explain? Old Thief's influence is higher year by year, the number of fans is more year by year, the ratings are definitely getting higher and higher! Why don't you look at the ratings of Rurouni Kenshin back then? People are now making it into a movie and it has a box office of 3 billion, it's too superficial to evaluate the quality of a work from the ratings."

"Am I the only one who likes Life is Strange the most?"

"I'm a staunch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners party!"

"Then can't my Tokyo Love Story party be low-key!"

Every time Su Yan's work ends, a large group of viewers start comparing which work is the best-looking among Su Yan's works.

This time is no exception.

On the night FZ ended, FZ, Artoria, Gilgamesh, Kiritsugu Emiya, and other character hot search terms occupied the top of the hot search list on major websites.

A large number of media began to ride the popularity, and wrote tens of thousands of words of long articles overnight to evaluate this era-crossing work of FZ.

Sakura TV's production department members collectively celebrated that night.

Su Yan was in Tokyo, but he still video-linked over to congratulate Sakura TV's production department director, Koyada Aya.

In her first year as the new official, Su Yan's two consecutive works have completely helped her secure the position of production department director.

As for Ayumi Shinozaki, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep that night, and was still on the phone with Su Yan at one or two in the morning, saying that the praise rate and popularity after FZ's ending far exceeded before.

She also kept asking Su Yan when the FZ sequel script, FSN, would be released?

After all, the traffic on the Dimensional Film and Television official website soared by millions overnight, all FZ fans who came to the official website to find clues about the FSN project.

Su Yan the next day, took a small vacation for himself.

He slept until noon, and turned on his phone.

The ratings results for Fate/Zero have already been sent.

The final episode was 6.35%

Compared to the results during the Madoka Magica period, it has undoubtedly increased by a large margin.
