Depressive Screenwriter

In the early morning, people who woke up one after another logged onto the internet and saw the promotional video for "From Me to You".

Watching the trailer alone at night can be a bit scary, but it's relatively better during the day.

Gu Qingyuan hasn't been as active as Shen Liqian in the past year or two. Her fans have been waiting for this TV series for too long, but even so, many people are still a little scared.

"Seriously, if there really was someone with this kind of temperament around me, I would definitely stay away from her."

"Why is it so scary! The styling in this drama. I think she looks pretty good, but you can't look too closely."

"The main thing is the music, makeup, and that underworld filter all working together."

"On the surface, the trailer looks like a pure love drama, but in reality, I estimate it's like Madoka Magica. The old thief will expose his true nature after only a few episodes."

"No need to say more about this. Which of us old fans hasn't been fooled before?"

"Regardless, I'd rather watch the old thief's depressing drama in July than watch the self-made dramas of the three major TV stations. They're really boring."

"Actually, the quality is much better than in previous years, but unfortunately, it's still in the stage of imitating the old thief's works, without a sense of surpassing them. However, the old thief has been a big catfish in the Xia Kingdom's film and television industry for so many years, stirring up the entire industry. The overall quality of TV dramas has actually improved a lot in the past two years."

"There's still a month until July 7th, it's tough."

"But the old thief's last TV series was a combat fantasy genre. Will he be able to handle this kind of love-oriented work?"

"Su Yan became famous with a bunch of romance dramas. This is his old business. Don't be misled by Madoka Magica, The Outsider, and Fate/Zero. These combat fantasy dramas just have a wide audience and seem to have good results. To be honest, I don't think they gave me as much of a shock as the old thief's early works like 'April' and 'To the Moon'."

"That's right, romance-themed works are mostly watched by people in their adolescence, but Fate/Zero can be watched by men, women, and children of all ages, so Fate/Zero's ratings are so high."

"Sigh, I won't say anymore. See you all on the night of July 7th!"

"There's only a little over a month left. I'll go brush up on the old thief's previous works again to get through this month."

Although it was just a trailer, with Su Yan's current popularity, news about "From Me to You" has spread all over Xia Kingdom in less than a day.

Now that the trailer promotion has started, Su Yan has been actively cooperating with the media these days, and various fan meetings and reporter interviews have also been arranged.

Gu Qingyuan herself hasn't had any new works for a long time, and her popularity has declined, but in just a few days, her popularity has once again rushed to the top among Xia Kingdom's female stars.

However, neither fans nor the media basically took the trailer content of "From Me to You" seriously. Everyone unilaterally began to discuss in which episode of the TV series there would be a depressing reversal.

After several days of fermentation, Su Yan didn't hesitate after seeing that the market's spread was enough.

In early June, Dimensional Film and Television Company then released the movie trailer for "Your Name".

Although Su Yan didn't play the lead role in "Your Name", he did have a cameo role.

The content of the trailer also basically released the selling points of the work, but it appropriately didn't involve spoilers.

Moreover,

The female lead in the movie "Your Name" is also played by Gu Qingyuan.

In the same month, the TV series "From Me to You" will premiere on July 7th.

Subsequently, on July 26th, the movie "Your Name" will be released during the summer vacation.

If Zhuang Yuxin and Shen Liqian dominated the headlines among female actors in the Spring Festival film market,

Then in the summer vacation, Gu Qingyuan is the absolute protagonist.

And this trailer for "Your Name"

When you click in, you first see a close-up of a large meteorite, and then a switching of body swapping scenes between a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

It has a feeling of a romantic comedy.

"Male and female body swap, what the hell?"

"There's this kind of setting?"

"Damn, what an interesting setting. If I swapped souls with a girl, wouldn't that be..."

"What do you want to do?"

"He wants to take advantage of his brother!"

"Pfft! You people, can you not be so dirty."

"This is Su Yan's old thief's work discussion forum, not a place for you to go crazy. This will make outsiders think that our Su Yan fans have low quality!"

"Just kidding, but why does the 'Your Name' trailer also follow the same routine as 'From Me to You'? It looks like a pure love movie no matter how you look at it. Old thief, stop pretending."

"You can still trust the old thief with movies. Rurouni Kenshin wasn't depressing!"

"Rurouni Kenshin doesn't have any romance elements. What I mean by the old thief definitely being depressing refers to the old thief's works with romance elements! Until now, the old thief hasn't given any of the couples we fans are looking forward to a happy ending together in the main story, right?"

"Emmm"

"Can only say, looking forward to it?"

"As a junior high school student, I've already started saving money. I'll definitely start with three screenings during the summer vacation."

"You have to save money to watch a movie?"

"There's no way, I'm a student, I only have a few dollars of pocket money a day, so I have to save money to afford a movie ticket!"

In mid-June, with the full launch of the promotion for "Your Name" and "From Me to You", the Xia Kingdom film and television industry also recovered its popularity.

It's not uncommon for the ratings of Su Yan's dramas to rise to 6% in the later stages, but once Su Yan doesn't have a new drama in a given quarter, the ratings will basically only break 5% at most, and even if they break through, they won't break through too much.

And there is a very interesting phenomenon. Whenever Su Yan's dramas premiere, the performance of self-made dramas broadcast by the three major TV stations at other time slots in the same quarter will also improve a lot.

This is the same reason why a bunch of good movies are released during the Spring Festival, heating up the overall market.

When several excellent movies are released at the same time, fans will watch the next one after watching one.

The same is true in the TV drama circle. People who usually don't want to watch dramas because of the drama shortage will also turn on the TV on Saturdays and Fridays to pay attention to Su Yan's competitors in the same time slot after watching Su Yan's works. The market is heated up in this way.

Xia Kingdom advertisers are also very shrewd. After realizing this, they will also increase their advertising investment in the quarter when Su Yan's new drama premieres.

So for Su Yan's group of industry peers, they have envy, jealousy, and a little bit of complex emotions towards Su Yan.

However, Su Yan wouldn't deliberately pay attention to these things now.

The promotion of "Your Name" and "From Me to You" is the responsibility of the operations department.

What he is concerned about now is the establishment of the company's game department.

The company originally had more than 2 billion in funds in its account last year.

After the capital return from works such as Fate/Zero and Rurouni Kenshin, the cash in the company's account has increased by more than one billion.

It can't be spent, it can't be spent at all.

Although Su Yan's produced works have large investments now, the returns are also large! Moreover, so far, the works produced by Su Yan have not lost money, it's just a question of how much they earn.

The fund pool in the account is growing more and more, so Su Yan is not stingy in the establishment of the game department.

Anyway, he doesn't have the patience to train a team from fresh graduates. He directly asks his subordinates to poach people from major game companies and studios in Xia Kingdom and abroad.

From project leaders, programmers, management, and planners, all well-known industry personnel are poached to form a team directly. At least what Su Yan wants is to form a basic team lineup before July.

Su Yan will also use the remaining excess funds in the account to purchase stocks of major online broadcast video websites in the name of Dimensional Film and Television Company.

Xia Kingdom's internet has become more and more popular in the past two years. A large number of people are paying to watch film and television dramas on the four major video websites. If these websites were not directly controlled by major TV stations, and they were afraid of affecting the interests of their TV stations and restricted the websites, then the era when the video websites of Su Yan's previous life bloomed and the TV sets in the living rooms of homes became decorations would probably have already begun to arrive.

However, the general trend of the times cannot be stopped, Su Yan is very clear.

If you ask him to start a business and do these things, he may really feel a little uncertain, but he will definitely lay out plans to catch a ride on the bandwagon.

Anyway, although the four major video websites have also been listed now, the stock prices are still very low because the market is still in the TV station era. It's never wrong to buy and hold them first.

While dealing with these things, the crew of Fate/Stay Night and the second Rurouni Kenshin movie also started up in mid-June.

Su Yan also began to enter a new busy life.

Time, just like that, came to late June.
