Depressive Screenwriter

For Su Yan, writing the scripts for two movies wouldn't take too much time now.

However, the filming of the company's Rurouni Kenshin movie and the Fate/stay night TV series still had some finishing touches to be done. Su Yan wasn't in a hurry to assemble the crews for the two movies, and he didn't even reveal any news about them.

Otherwise, if the employees knew that the company was launching new projects, they would definitely be distracted from their current work, affecting the quality of the finished products.

But as October arrived, Su Yan still had a work that was currently airing in the market.

That was "Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You."

The original manga for this work was quite long, after all, it was a monthly manga that had been serialized for ten years.

However, the most interesting plot of "Kimi ni Todoke" as a manga was all before the two confessed their feelings to each other.

The subsequent plot was about the emotional entanglements between the couple. Although there were many misunderstandings and heartbreaking scenes, the quality was somewhat inferior to the plot before they confessed and became a couple.

Therefore, in the TV series that Su Yan filmed, it would still broadcast six or seven more episodes in the October fall season before it finally ended.

But the audience who had been following this drama for an entire season was already numb by October.

Not to mention the entire Xia Country, it was unique in the entire Xia Country world.

The male and female leads had clearly told the audience in the first episode that the two were in love with each other in this drama.

However, after the thirteen episodes of the first season were broadcast, the two had not confessed, and they hadn't even held hands actively.

The only time they held hands was in the seventh episode when Kazehaya Shota acted rashly because he misunderstood that the female lead liked Sanada Ryu.

Starting from the eleventh episode, Su Yan had been subjected to enthusiastic and crazy criticism from fans every week after "Kimi ni Todoke" was broadcast.

The fans would definitely not criticize the drama for having a bad plot, because although it was slow-burn, the plot was also extremely good.

But Su Yan could make the stories of the supporting characters so good, so what about the main characters?

Clearly having the ability, but not pushing the main storyline forward, in the eyes of many fans, Su Yan was deliberately trying to make them anxious to death.

But in the fourteenth episode of the series, which premiered in October,

Finally, according to the usual practice of Sakura Island works, a new character would definitely appear whenever the main storyline was to be advanced.

And this new character was the male second lead of this work, Kento Miura.

A handsome transfer student with a flirtatious personality.

As soon as he came to the class, he became Sawako Kuronuma's deskmate, had a good relationship with the girls, and was also on good terms with Kurumi, and...

As soon as he came to the class, he discovered the advantages of the female lead and consciously began to approach Sawako Kazehaya.

At the same time, in this episode, because the custom in the Sakura Island region was that during Valentine's Day, both men and women would make their own chocolates to give to their friends...

Although Su Yan didn't know why homemade chocolates were given to friends on Valentine's Day.

But in the drama, Sawako Kuronuma, because of Kurumi and Kento Miura, did not send out the chocolates that she had already made.

Because these chocolates were for friends, but Sawako Kuronuma did not regard Shota Kazehaya as a friend, but as someone she liked.

Shota Kazehaya had been looking forward to the gift she would give on this day...

A misunderstanding arose.

The plot finally pulled back from the daily lives of a bunch of supporting characters to the main storyline.

In the first week of October, when the audience who watched the fourteenth episode of "Kimi ni Todoke" discovered the role that Kento Miura played, the entire huge fan base instantly became excited.

"Here it comes, the plot we love to watch the most."

"It's still the familiar taste, still the familiar formula, it feels similar to the Kurumi arc before, but it's still so good! Is this Kento Miura a male version of Kurumi?"

"From now on, this character is just flirtatious in personality, but not bad! It's just that after he appeared and got closer to Sawako Kuronuma, he started to make the male lead a little jealous and misunderstand."

"From here, you can actually see the gap between the male and female leads. The female lead has a much bigger heart than the male lead and won't be jealous, but she will always misunderstand."

"Old thief, quickly let these two confess in the next week, it's too painful to follow. I couldn't stand it before, so I didn't watch it for three weeks, and then I finished watching it all in one go on the online broadcast platform, and now I'm starting to suffer again."

"Simple plot, why can it move me like this every week! Why are the plots of other romance dramas much more complicated than this, but they don't have this feeling of making my heart flutter."

"Because the female lead in those dramas is not called Sawako Kuronuma, and the male lead is not called Shota Kazehaya! The plot serves the main characters. If the main characters don't have charm, no matter how good or tortuous the plot is, it's useless!"

"Actually, at the end of this episode, if the male lead persists for a while longer and forces the female lead a bit, maybe the female lead would confess. But it's just missing that last breath, alas, another misunderstanding has arisen. I hope the plot will hurry up next week and resolve the misunderstanding."

"You don't need to worry anymore, this will only be broadcast for half a season in October and then it will end. No matter what, they will always confess in the last episode."

"Hehehe, you've probably forgotten the nature of the old thief Su Yan. A pure love drama can't be defined as pure love until the final ending appears, just like Tokyo Love Story. How sweet it was in the early stage, how abusive it was in the later stage. Is it possible that in the last episode of this drama, these two will be like the male and female leads of 5 Centimeters Per Second and not end up together?"

"?"

"Don't, I'm starting to get scared!"

"Group leader, kick that crow's mouth out of the group just now, I can't stand this kind of statement."

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, what he said makes sense! As long as the old thief Su Yan wants to, he can make a big one in the last episode of "Kimi ni Todoke", such as Sawako Kuronuma being with Kento Miura, and the male lead dating Kurumi."

"Get out, you NTR party, don't discuss these uncomfortable plots in the pure love romance drama group!"

In the previous few weeks, because the plot of "Kimi ni Todoke" always failed to advance the romance storyline between the male and female leads, the ratings dropped to the 5.9% range.

But in the fourteenth episode, after the plot started to push the main storyline, the ratings immediately rose to 6.16%, and the online popularity and the amount of comments and discussions on various forums doubled compared to before.

Although "Kimi ni Todoke" was not a new drama that premiered this season, the focus of news media reports was still on this work.

When Shota Kazehaya and Sawako Kuronuma would confess to each other had also become the focus of discussion for media commentators in their articles and video programs.

But as October arrived, Su Yan's Dimension Pictures also had other major actions beginning to unfold.

The second Rurouni Kenshin movie, which was to be released during the Spring Festival next year, was temporarily set aside, as it was too early to start the publicity now.

However, the publicity for the Fate/stay night TV series, which had an investment of over 200 million and would premiere in January, had already begun.

Zhuang Yuxin, Su Yan, and the various cast members in Fate/stay night, under the arrangement of Dimension Pictures' operations department, began promotional variety show activities for Fate/stay night.

After nearly a year.

The popularity of Artoria, which had originally begun to decline, began to climb again.
