Depressive Screenwriter

The plot after the first episode interweaves war scenes with Lelouch using his Geass power.

The first thing the boy thought of after gaining power was revenge.

As a Britannian prince, he was sent to this island as a hostage by his emperor father years ago, but his father disregarded his and his sister's lives and launched a war here, nearly killing Lelouch and his sister in the conflict.

This is why Lelouch wants to take revenge on the Britannia Empire and destroy it.

The latter half of the first episode shows the audience the power of Lelouch's intelligence combined with his Geass ability.

He contacted the rebel army, including Kallen, via radio, then remotely controlled them to seize the Britannia army's mechs, commanding them to fight the army. During this process, Lelouch used his Geass power to infiltrate the Governor's mansion, which is the residence of his half-brother Clovis. Finally, he personally killed him.

The first episode ends.

Bo Yangyan watched it with great satisfaction. There were no overly complicated settings. After unfolding the worldview, the boy immediately gained power, and after gaining power, he immediately acted on his beliefs, seeking revenge against the Britannia Empire.

Moreover, he showed no mercy when facing the pleas for mercy from his half-brother.

Even if Prince Clovis wasn't the mastermind behind the murder of Lelouch's mother, he deserved to die for what he did as governor in Area 11.

He personally ordered the massacre of ordinary people in the area to protect a secret. If Lelouch had let him go out of family affection, Bo Yangyan would have been dissatisfied.

The first episode ended, and the Xia country's drama fans were left wanting more.

It can be said that before the show started, everyone's expectations were very high, but the actual viewing experience was even better than expected.

"Awesome!"

"Such a great drama, I really enjoyed watching it."

"This is the kind of drama that teenagers should be watching!"

"Completely different from the slow-burn beginning of FSN, the governor was killed directly in the first episode!"

"I would keep my distance from someone like Lelouch in reality, but he's really cool in the drama."

"So, did the green-haired girl played by Zhuang Yuxin really die?"

"How is that possible? She has a lot of scenes in the trailer, how could she really die?"

"Damn, I thought I was watching a robot battle, but I ended up just watching Lelouch."

"Lelouch's character is so relatable, I think about being like Lelouch in my head all day long!"

"That's pretty dangerous."

"Thinking and doing are different! It would be sad if you didn't even dare to think about it."

"That's right, dramas are about watching the protagonist do things we want to do but don't dare to."

"Seriously, in this episode, who do you think is prettier, Kallen played by Shen Liqian or the green-haired girl played by Zhuang Yuxin!"

"I think Kallen is prettier."

"Me too!"

"I still prefer the green-haired girl!"

"I'm not a fan of green hair, although I like Artoria, but honestly, I don't have that kind of filter when watching this drama."

"I feel like Zhuang Yuxin was more stunning when she played Artoria, but I don't get that feeling with the green-haired girl."

"What can you tell from just the first episode? Artoria's charm also needs to be developed through the plot and a complete character design, right? Let's wait a few more episodes and see."

"Anyway, after the premiere of this episode today, I'm relieved about this drama. This kind of work is a godsend to me!"

"Same here!"

"A work produced by Old Thief must be a masterpiece!"

"You don't have to worry about the quality of the works produced by Dimension Films. With so much money invested, you don't have to worry about the quality. Just watch it without thinking since Old Thief is the screenwriter! He hasn't produced a single bad work so far."

The first season of Lelouch ended.

As most people expected, the internet was full of praise.

The 9.8 rating at the start was partly due to the blind support of Su Yan's hardcore fans, but if casual viewers didn't like it, the score would definitely be brought down.

After the fans boasted about it online all night, the next day, a group of Xia country's film and television media began to join the boasting army.

Although they were doing it to gain traffic, the drama Lelouch was indeed worthy of praise. The quality and plot were all above standard.

Although, upon closer inspection, it seemed a bit like child's play and overly idealistic that Lelouch, with his Geass ability to command others, could infiltrate the governor's mansion so easily and kill him.

But the most important thing about a drama isn't logical consistency, but making the audience enjoy watching it.

Of course, this kind of thing wouldn't happen in real society. An ability that can only be activated face-to-face has too many limitations, but in a drama, the audience doesn't care about that.

Adults are okay, but for a group of teenagers, works like Lelouch satisfy all their fantasies.

A chuunibyou protagonist has a natural sense of identification for those in their chuunibyou phase.

The Xia country's film and television media basically judge things based on results.

These institutions in Xia country are different from Su Yan's previous life. In Su Yan's previous life, movies and TV dramas had to have some educational attributes mixed in to gain mainstream recognition.

But in Xia country, everyone is very clear that film and television dramas are entertainment products. It's certainly good if you can make a work that provokes deep thought, but if you can't, making the audience enjoy watching it means that the work has met the standard.

It's ridiculous to want the audience to enjoy watching it and also make them reflect on themselves and understand some truth from it. People who want to see works with great truths should go and read ancient books, what are they watching film and television dramas for!

So, although some of the plots in Lelouch have flaws, the Xia country's audience and media showed great tolerance and wouldn't make a big deal out of it.

This situation surprised Su Yan quite a bit.

In his previous life, although this work was popular, some people who didn't like it always criticized the protagonist Lelouch for being chuunibyou, and the strategies in it were somewhat deliberate. The protagonist Lelouch's high intelligence was contrasted by the reduced intelligence of the supporting characters.

But in Xia country, this kind of statement also exists, but it can't become popular.

"First episode rating is 6.53%."

Shinozaki Ikumi said, looking at the file sent to her phone.

"Understood." Su Yan paused and said.

Neither she nor Shinozaki Ikumi had much reaction to this result.

Because there was a baseline expectation before the broadcast.

This drama will definitely be the highest-rated work in the same period, and maybe the highest-rated work among all of Su Yan's works.

"Do you think it's possible for the rating to break 7%?" Shinozaki Ikumi thought for a while and suddenly said this.

For her now, only when the dramas under her command achieve this standard will she have a glimmer of expectation.

"If the premiere rating is 6.5%."

Su Yan thought about the famous scenes in the subsequent episodes of the first season, especially the plot of Euphemia's death in the later episodes, and he smiled.

"I think there's still a good chance before the end of the first season. It's just that when the rating of this drama reaches its peak, I estimate that it's also when I'm going to be criticized by my fans.."

"Why?" Shinozaki Ikumi hadn't reacted yet.

"It seems like telling you and FSN that neither of them are healing, my fans are about to forget the genre of my previous works."

"But with this drama, they will feel the previous sense of despair again."

Shinozaki Ikumi's expression froze.

Although the first season of Lelouch is currently airing, the second episode has already begun post-production. Thinking about the ending of Lelouch, she took a deep breath and said with a smile.

"You brought this on yourself. I'm on the same side as your fans!"
