Depressive Screenwriter

July 6th, Sunday.

As evening approached, the sweltering heat induced drowsiness. It was only 7 PM, yet the hypnotic effect was already evident. However, the activity on various video websites was far exceeding previous levels.

The viewership of China Central Television was also soaring before 8 PM, surpassing the 5% mark.

"It's starting."

"I can see Zhuang Yuxin again, yay!"

"CC from 'Code Geass,' this is Zhuang Yuxin's second female lead role, right!"

"I wonder if I'll have a 'Fate' filter when watching 'Code Geass'! I hated Gilgamesh so much when I watched 'Fate/stay night.' I hope I don't carry that emotion into 'Code Geass.'"

"Su Yan's acting is still quite good, so you don't need to worry about that. It's just that I'm not sure if Zhuang Yuxin's acting can break through Artoria's hold on her image. Although the look has changed, from yellow hair to green hair, I'm really afraid she won't be able to remove her from the Artoria filter."

"Who cares, just go for it!"

"We've reached this point. There's no need to doubt Su Yan's work!"

"Even if the plot of this drama is terrible, as long as there's the giant robot fight in the trailer, I can watch it without skipping a second."

"Plot doesn't matter, robot fights are the highlight."

"That's right, I haven't watched Su Yan's dramas before. I just want to see robot combat."

Before the premiere of "Code Geass," the audience's demands were also very clear.

Everyone's expectations for the plot were far less than their expectations for the mecha shown in the trailer.

In any world, the masses have the same obsession with "big."

Robot fighting isn't an interesting concept, but big robot fighting is different.

People fighting isn't an interesting concept, but giant robot fighting is different.

In the previous life, things like Ultraman fighting monsters, including mythological powers like Avatar of the Gods, were all the same.

As long as the image is big enough, everyone will naturally be greatly interested.

The focus of a group of fans' discussions was also on how tall the robots in the plot were, their three-dimensional data, weight data, etc.

Bo Yangyan looked at the time. There were still five minutes until the premiere.

He took a deep breath and turned off his computer.

He didn't usually like watching TV dramas, but this time he was indeed attracted by the trailer and stayed in front of the TV to watch the premiere of "Code Geass."

He even skipped the game invitation from his gaming friends tonight, using the excuse of not feeling well to chase the drama.

"Don't let me down!" Bo Yangyan looked at the TV.

China Central Television was broadcasting a trailer for "Code Geass."

He was afraid that all the highlights of this drama were in the trailer.

At eight o'clock sharp, the theme song of "Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion" began.

The opening scene was a shot of two little boys playing.

Then, there was a background introduction.

The Holy Britannian Empire declared war on Japan.

The sky was filled with fighters, the ground was filled with tanks, and then the transport plane's hatch opened, and a series of standard robots, more than ten meters high and made of steel, fell from the sky, the ground cracked, and a huge force set off a cloud of dust.

Old tanks and planes were vulnerable in front of these agile and powerful giant robots.

Japan fell like this.

From then on, it was named Area 11 by the Britannian Empire.

Finally, after the war ended, in the ruins after the war.

The boy angrily swore to his best friend.

"I will destroy Britannia."

The short two-minute plot introduction made Bo Yangyan perk up.

So the main line of this drama is that the protagonist destroys this powerful empire?

How to do it?

Bo Yangyan thought about it carefully, but he couldn't figure it out at all.

The camera switched.

It came to a boy helping an old man gamble with nobles.

In less than a minute, the plot presented the audience with a handsome, confident, and intelligent image of a frail teenager.

Halfway through, it also introduced his classmate Shirley from the noble academy.

"Huh? Where are the robots? Why are all the shots on this?" Bo Yangyan took a sip of happy water. The hot weather made his forehead sweat.

But soon, the plot began to enter the main line.

Kallen, one of the heroines, and her classmates stole a transport truck from the Britannian army, claiming that it contained poisonous gas.

Kallen and her classmates are revolutionaries from Area 11, the colonized area, who are rebelling against the Britannian army.

Lelouch was soon accidentally caught up in the army's pursuit of Kallen and her group.

After introducing the world view at the beginning, the plot quickly presented what the audience wanted to see without procrastination.

The giant robot that Bo Yangyan had been thinking about soon appeared.

A hideous shape, purple paint, and a huge gun several meters long on its arm.

After that, Suzaku, a Britannian soldier and Lelouch's former friend, appeared. The two argued over the poisonous gas truck, eventually recognizing each other, and most importantly, opening the poisonous gas truck to find a green-haired girl lying inside.

Bo Yangyan's eyes widened.

He hadn't watched TV dramas before, but he had played the 'Fate' game. This was too beautiful. How could this actress look so good no matter who she played?

The plot continued to advance, depicting how ordinary people in Area 11, the colonized area, were persecuted by the army because of this incident, and even, in order to keep the secret, the army even wanted to kill Lelouch, a citizen of the Britannian Empire.

At a critical moment, it was the green-haired girl who helped Lelouch block the gun, and then, at the moment of contact with his body—

[You don't want it to end yet. You seem to have a reason to want to live. I will grant you power, in exchange, you must fulfill one of my wishes.]

The girl's voice sounded.

This chuunibyou line didn't cause Bo Yangyan's disgust, or rather, it was too appropriate.

This kind of line, this kind of framing, this kind of chuunibyou feeling, allowed Bo Yangyan, as a game fan, to immediately grasp the feeling.

It created a sense of destiny for this encounter between Lelouch and the girl.

Then, there was the famous scene from "Code Geass."

After the green-haired girl helped Lelouch block the gun, she fell into a pool of blood. She seemed to have given the boy some kind of power, but all of this only happened in an instant.

Lelouch stood up, facing the group of soldiers in front of him. The panic on his face disappeared, replaced by composure and ambition.

[In the name of Lelouch vi Britannia, I command you.] the boy said.

[You, die!]

Bo Yangyan was stunned.

"Huh? This kind of command?"

But an unimaginable scene appeared.

After a burst of strange laughter, the soldiers in front of Lelouch raised their guns to their heads—

Bang!

Bo Yangyan's eyelids jumped.

This...

Is it that powerful?

Is this the contract that the girl signed with Lelouch?

Absolute command, the power of the king.

Bo Yangyan, who originally just wanted to watch the mecha combat plot, changed his mindset at this moment.

He discovered that the highlights of this drama didn't completely lie in the mecha combat. It seemed that this male lead was even more attractive than the mecha!
