Depressive Screenwriter

In July and August, when "好想告诉你" (Kimi ni Todoke) and "你的名字" (Your Name) were popular, the entire market was filled with news about Su Yan.

For Su Yan today, any slight movement he makes cannot be concealed.

Dimensional Pictures has over three hundred direct employees.

There are also dozens of companies, large and small, that have long-term partnerships with Su Yan's company.

The news that Dimensional Pictures sent a notice to various entertainment companies, hoping they would submit information forms of eligible actors according to the requirements, spread all over the internet in Xia within a few days.

Su Yan's fans immediately became excited.

What?

Another new work?

"Is it true? If there's another new work, wouldn't Su Yan be producing three film and television dramas at the same time? FZ, Rurouni Kenshin movie, and this new work."

"Isn't this normal? Many large film companies in Xia produce two or three movies simultaneously!"

"But everyone knows, all the screenplays of Su Yan's company's works are written by him. How can Su Yan create these scripts in such a short time?"

"I heard that Su Yan doesn't write the screenplays for all his works. He buys the scripts for many of his works."

"Yes, yes! I've heard this rumor too."

"I don't know if you're haters or idiots. But it's definitely one of them. If you could write a film and television script of the level of Your Name or FZ, would you sell it?"

"Sigh, some people don't use their brains, let's give them some face!"

"I feel like these people are just stupid. Su Yan's haters are just bad, but they're not stupid at all."

"But I'm really curious, what are Su Yan's limits? He's created nearly twenty film and television dramas in the five or six years since his rise, right? One per quarter is no longer enough for him; he's going to create three at the same time?"

"I feel like we shouldn't be surprised yet. Maybe in another month or two, news of Su Yan starting another new project will come out."

"But does anyone know what style Su Yan's new work is? I feel like many people in the entertainment industry are reacting strongly this time. The 'Big Three' under Su Yan's command, Zhuang Yuxin, Gu Qingyuan, and Shen Liqian, needless to say, if the roles are suitable, they will definitely be the female leads. Among the female stars in Xia's TV dramas, these three are directly in the top three in popularity. I heard that many first-line TV drama female stars and even male stars in Xia are vying for the roles of female supporting role two, male supporting role two, female supporting role three, and male supporting role three in Su Yan's new drama."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"There's no way around it. Being a female supporting role two in Su Yan's drama will increase personal popularity more than being a female lead in a self-made A-level drama on the three major TV stations. Only Su Yan in the entire Xia can have S-level dramas broadcast every year and break 6% in ratings. The other three major TV stations can't produce them at all."

"In the film and television industry, being the tail of a phoenix is more meaningful than being the head of a chicken!"

"I'm an employee of a top three special effects modeling company in Xia. I can only reveal details that are not strictly stipulated in the contract, but based on the information our team received, Su Yan's new drama is at least a science fiction-oriented work because the special effects model we're making is a combat model of a giant robot called Lancelot."

"Lancelot? Isn't that the knight who fought Artoria in FZ? Also, a giant robot, what does that mean?"

"I can't reveal too much. Anyway, our team will be working non-stop starting next week. Hahaha!"

"Then why are you so excited?"

"Of course, I'm excited! Everyone in the industry knows that Dimensional Pictures' money is the easiest to get. They never hold back project progress payments, nor do they nitpick and deduct money after you complete the work. As long as the quality you complete is high enough, the unit price is definitely the top in the industry. If I work hard on this project this year, I'll get a new car next year!"

"That's right. The last time our company took on the special effects project for FZ, damn it, really, Dimensional Pictures gave so much, but the requirements were also really high. My bonus allowed me to buy an apartment in my small hometown!"

"Otherwise, where do you think the hundreds of millions of investments in Su Yan's film and television dramas go! His annual output, from production to distribution, from the upstream to the downstream of the industry, drives the employment of at least thousands or even tens of thousands of people in Xia's film and television industry!"

Every day, news and discussions about Su Yan flew all over the internet, filling major websites along with the hit broadcast of "Your Name" and "Kimi ni Todoke."

And unknowingly, two weeks after the release of "Your Name", its daily box office also turned into a level of 50 to 60 million per day.

But now, the total box office of "Your Name" has completely exceeded 2 billion, reaching 2.132 billion.

Su Yan's TV drama fans are concerned about Su Yan's new work.

And Su Yan's movie fans are looking forward to the movie's box office exceeding Rurouni Kenshin and taking the top spot for the year.

Who said that the Spring Festival movie must be the annual box office champion?

This year, Su Yan may break this pattern.

Moreover, if the box office of "Your Name" really exceeds Rurouni Kenshin, then this year's box office champion and runner-up will basically be determined to be occupied by Su Yan alone.

As for the second half of the year...

There are some examples of summer films taking the annual crown, but after August, all the schedules are garbage, and it is unlikely that any movie can threaten Su Yan.

Even if the box office of "Your Name" does not exceed Rurouni Kenshin, but if it can come in second for the year...

Then it will be interesting.

How should the Best Actor and Best Actress awards at next year's Xia's Dijin Film Festival be chosen?

How will Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan, and Shen Liqian compete for these awards?

Is Su Yan going to recreate the five-year dominance he spent in the TV drama circle in the film circle?

Various parties had complicated thoughts, and Su Yan's fans cheered wildly.

The situation of mixed battles among fans of FSN, Kenshin, and Your Name was staged every day.

Time came again to Sunday, the day of the broadcast of the sixth episode of "Kimi ni Todoke".

In the afternoon, Meng Xueqing, who had to work overtime on the weekend and was in a terrible mood, took the subway all the way, shared a bicycle, and jogged. She finally rushed home before 7:45, turned on the TV with sparks and lightning, and then sat on the sofa, panting.

"I made it!"

A trace of satisfaction appeared on Meng Xueqing's expression.

For people like her who often work overtime, watching dramas is not suitable.

But "Your Name" is different...

She had heard people around her mention Su Yan's works countless times in the past few years.

But she was not interested at all.

She can't finish her work every day, so where does she have time to watch dramas on TV? It's good enough to lie in bed and watch videos on her mobile phone after get off work.

But knowing this season, because it was not busy at the beginning of the season, and then at the instigation of her best friend, she started watching "Kimi ni Todoke" from the first episode...

From then on, she was out of control.

In a month, she did not take a lunch break at the company at noon and finished watching many of Su Yan's dramas such as April, To the Moon, Madoka Magica, and FZ on the online broadcasting platform.

And she can't wait for this TV series, "Kimi ni Todoke", to be launched on the online broadcasting platform, after all...

This plot is going to kill people every week!
