Depressive Screenwriter

Despite a large number of Saber fans being dissatisfied with the plot of the third episode of FSN, the viewership ratings still made a major breakthrough, reaching 6.31%. This data made the entire Shanghai TV station ecstatic, and the director of the production department even led a team to Tokyo with gifts from the TV station's senior management.

But after the fourth episode of FSN aired, the plot began to develop in a strange direction.

The male protagonist, Shirou Emiya, was overly committed to "justice."

He felt that not only could he, as a boy, not provide Saber with magical power, but he also had to rely on her to protect him. In order to prevent Saber from consuming too much magical power, Shirou Emiya chose to fight all the Servants himself to end the Holy Grail War.

Moreover, in this process, his entanglement with Saber deepened, and Saber even began to worry about him, which directly confused the audience.

Was this really going to turn into a romance?

Moreover, just when everyone thought that Saber's experiences had been almost completely revealed by Su Yan in the official character profiles.

In FSN, Shirou Emiya, because of his contract with Saber, would dream of Artoria's past at night.

These plots were rarely mentioned in the Fate anime of Su Yan's previous life, but Su Yan filmed Saber's past battles and army skirmishes into short flashback scenes.

Coupled with her big appetite.

Saber in FSN was no longer a purely tragic character, but a woman with a cute aura.

After airing for a full four weeks, the Xia Guo audience roughly understood the drama.

It's not depressing, but more inclined towards campus youth, and the main storyline is a mystery, exploring the true identities of the seven Masters and seven Servants.

This is completely different from FZ, where the identities of the seven Masters and Servants were revealed directly at the beginning, and the audience watched the plot development from a God's-eye view.

The plot of FSN contains too much unknown.

But even so, the newly debuted Servants Rider, Archer, as well as the actors of Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou, quickly became popular after the drama aired for four weeks.

And it was a huge hit.

FZ has its highlights, and FSN has its fun.

Su Yan likes depressing works, so from his perspective, FZ is more interesting.

But for the youth group that is the main audience of Su Yan, the plot with active women and youth elements in FSN is more attractive to them.

The viewership ratings of this drama are not only rising steadily in Xia Guo, but also soaring to the top positions in overseas platforms in terms of viewership and paid views.

No one in Xia Guo dares to spend so much money to produce such a high-quality TV series, and the same is true abroad. Without a large enough market, spending so much money to film a TV series of only twelve or thirteen episodes will likely lose money even if the results are very good.

After the plot of FSN unfolded, the drama's excellent production quality opened up a general audience appeal.

The combination of combat, campus, youth, fantasy and many other elements is also popular with overseas audiences.

At this time, the time was already approaching February.

The Tokyo area was still snowing incessantly, and the cold wind was biting. Although Su Yan's company was busy, with less than a week left before the Spring Festival, the company basically took bonuses and went home for vacation.

Only Su Yan, Ikumi Shinozaki, Qingyuan Gu, Liqian Shen and other company employees and assistants set off to Shanghai to participate in the Xia Yan Awards ceremony, and until the Spring Festival, they had to promote the Rurouni Kenshin movie.

"Here we are again." Su Yan looked at his Shanghai villa, which he hadn't returned to for a year, and was filled with emotion.

All the company's accompanying staff went to live in big hotels, but Su Yan, Shen Liqian and others had overly special identities. Su Yan was afraid that the hotel staff would reveal their whereabouts, so he and several senior company executives came to his Shanghai villa filming crew.

"You only live here for a few days a year, and you have to spend hundreds of thousands to maintain it, and hire people to clean it regularly. You might as well sell it." Shen Liqian lay on the sofa in Su Yan's house, stretching lazily as her whole body sank into the sofa.

"I'm just filming in Tokyo, not living in Tokyo. If I don't even have a home in the mainland, wouldn't that be a joke?" Su Yan responded.

"But it seems that we were all here when that incident happened last year, right?" Su Yan looked at everyone.

"I wasn't here in January last year." Zhuang Yuxin quickly raised her hand and said at this time.

Two years ago, Shen Liqian won the Xia Yan Award for Best Actress, and Gu Qingyuan won it last year, and this year... there are two nominees for the Best Actress award.

Zhuang Yuxin, who played Artoria, and Gu Qingyuan, who played Sawako Kuronuma.

But in fact, everyone can guess the result. Sawako Kuronuma is indeed very popular, but she is still a little bit inferior to the Ahoge King Saber.

In three years, three different women under his command have won the Best Actress award in TV dramas, and even Su Yan himself will most likely win the Best Actor award again this year.

The Xia Yan Awards are now jokingly called the Su Yan Awards in Xia Guo, but this is really just a joke, not a mockery.

Because if these awards are not given to the cast members in Su Yan's works, then the Xia Yan Awards will become a joke.

"Okay, it's almost time, let's set off." As the boss, Su Yan looked at the senior employees and partners in his villa.

Su Yan, Zhuang Yuxin, Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan, Shi Peihua, and several assistants and makeup artists left Su Yan's big villa and set off for the Xia Yan Awards ceremony.

At the awards ceremony, Su Yan and his party, dressed in盛装, were arranged by the organizers in the absolute center of the venue, with multiple cameras focusing on Su Yan and the people around him throughout the entire process.

Su Yan felt uncomfortable in this kind of occasion, and even tried to keep his smile subtle, and didn't dare to scratch his back even when it itched, maintaining a smile throughout the whole process, for fear of being caught with a little bit of black material by the millions of fans watching the live TV broadcast.

Finally, after Su Yan won the Best Actor award for his role as Shouta Kazehaya, Su Yan took the stage.

First, he said some polite words, spoke in one breath, and finally ended with a sentence.

[Please continue to support me in the future! And my upcoming Rurouni Kenshin movie!]

Then Su Yan walked off the stage with a smile on his face.

If other actors and screenwriters promoted their upcoming movie GG at the TV drama awards ceremony, they would definitely be sprayed by a group of people in the industry and resented by the awards organizing committee.

But when Su Yan did this, everyone didn't feel anything.

They even felt that it should be so.

Doing things in different positions requires different methods.

It's not that Su Yan wants to rely on the Xia Yan Awards to expose himself, but that the Xia Yan Awards must invite Su Yan to contribute to the viewership ratings and credibility of the awards ceremony, otherwise this award will become a joke.

The organizing committee is蹭Su Yan's traffic, and Su Yan is taking the opportunity to promote himself, which is a win-win situation.

But if the Xia Yan Awards officials feel that Su Yan is not giving them face by doing this, then it will be difficult to invite Su Yan again next year.

That night, Su Yan's search for Kenshin at the Xia Yan Awards topped the Xia Guo search list.

There were also multiple hot searches about Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan and others at the Xia Yan Awards ceremony that entered the top searches.

But in the final analysis, tonight's Xia Yan Awards ceremony, with media fermentation, the information about the release of the second Rurouni Kenshin movie has spread all over the country.

And this promotional effect is indeed very good.

Anyone in Xia Guo who pays a little attention to the film and television industry knows.

On the day of the Spring Festival, Su Yan's new movie, Rurouni Kenshin Part II: Kyoto Inferno, will be released.
