Depressive Screenwriter

In mid-July, after the broadcast of the first two episodes of "Code Geass," it gained immense popularity not only in Xia, but also worldwide.

Although Su Yan's works aren't as widely circulated abroad as they are in Xia, foreigners aren't blind. Regardless of the subject matter, the production quality of the TV series that Su Yan spent hundreds of millions on is evident. Many people are willing to watch it for the sake of the quality alone.

Moreover, "Code Geass" itself has been tested in Su Yan's previous world's market.

It's not to say that its plot is flawless and a masterpiece from beginning to end, but at least it's significantly more interesting than the works broadcast concurrently in Xia and the rest of the world.

At this time, Dimension Pictures was not only seizing the opportunity to promote the global broadcast of "Code Geass," but also making final efforts for the release of "Weathering with You" in two weeks.

Su Yan, the workaholic, also began promoting his film's release as usual. However, given his current status, he wouldn't participate in every detail, only attending the most important events.

In the midst of this, the third episode of "Code Geass" was successfully broadcast.

A new character, Euphemia, Lelouch's half-sister, appeared. She established a friendship with Lelouch's friend Suzaku upon her debut, forming another storyline in the first season of the show.

On the other side, Princess Cornelia made her appearance.

This episode was transitional, focusing mainly on groundwork, and didn't stir up much discussion in the Xia film and television industry. However, the viewership still soared to 6.9%.

Although the growth was slow, the viewership data was still increasing.

Officials from Central Xia Television frequently contacted Dimension Pictures under Su Yan's command during this period. Both parties reached many agreements on the promotion of the show in the next two months, at least because both sides saw the current success of "Code Geass" and definitely had huge ideas about achieving the unprecedented 7% viewership rating in Xia's television history.

In recent years, the landscape of Xia's film and television industry has become clear. Even the most insensitive television stations have realized that the internet may be the mainstream for broadcasting film and television works in the next ten or twenty years.

Fortunately, the top executives of the three major television stations aren't stupid. They had already built their own holding video websites. However, the three television stations definitely wanted to keep the glory and highest honor of the television era within their own walls.

Su Yan would certainly fully cooperate with these matters.

Time passed, and in late July, the fourth episode of "Code Geass" was broadcast.

In this episode, Lelouch, under the guise of Zero, commanded a regiment of revolutionary troops he had recruited to confront his sister Cornelia. However, Cornelia saw through many of his intentions, and he might have exposed his true identity if C.C. hadn't intervened.

From here on, Cornelia, one of Lelouch's formidable opponents in the show, demonstrated her strength to global fans.

At the same time, in the fourth episode, Lelouch announced the establishment of the Black Knights revolutionary organization in front of the world's media, leading the plot of "Code Geass" to a point that the audience couldn't have predicted.

"So, this show is actually about a protagonist pretending to be weak, leading a group of newbie revolutionary troops in an uprising, and finally overthrowing the tyranny of the empire?"

"It seems that's the case!"

"Damn, Old Thief is really daring!"

"Is this kind of thing possible? An unexposed teenager, relying on the inexplicable ability to manipulate people's hearts, plus a group of rookie revolutionary troops, fighting against the Britannia Empire?"

"A single spark can start a prairie fire. Throughout history, any insurgent army initially resembled bandits, but as they developed, they rose up and even eventually seized the world. At least Lelouch in this show has a higher starting point than many heroes in history. He is at least a prince of the Britannia Empire, although he doesn't acknowledge it himself and hides his identity!"

"A never-before-seen theme! Su Yan is really awesome! He dares to create this kind of theme."

"As long as it makes money. At least after four episodes, I don't feel there's anything wrong with the show. On the contrary, I think Lelouch's character is very charming."

"I just feel that Lelouch is too smooth in everything he does. His control of the battlefield situation is almost supernatural, which seems a little unrealistic."

"It's a TV series. To highlight the protagonist's awesomeness, you have to sacrifice the IQ of the villains in the plot. Anyway, you can fill in many things yourself. The key is to watch the plot!"

"I don't care about the battle of wits and courage between Lelouch and his opponents in this show. I want to see the passionate melee combat of giant robots inside."

"So who is the female lead in this show? The girls who have appeared and have roles include Euphemia, C.C., Kallen, and Shirley. I feel like each one is so cute."

"Euphemia is his sister! And half-sister, don't think too much. Euphemia's character should be paired with Suzaku later."

"I don't understand what Su Yan is doing by portraying that guy named Suzaku? Although Lelouch conceals his identity as Zero, Suzaku pilots the Lancelot to ruin Lelouch's good deeds every time. He's clearly from Area 11, but he helps the Britannia Empire's army to attack his fellow revolutionary troops. We commonly call this kind of person a Xia traitor, and he can even get the position of male number two."

"Indeed, this Suzaku makes me a little disgusted, but let's keep watching. Maybe Suzaku's image will change later in the show."

After four weeks of broadcasting, the fan base for "Code Geass" has basically formed. After the latest episode of "Code Geass" airs every Sunday, the next few days are when these people start analyzing the plot and characters from various angles.

At the same time, on the official website of Dimension Pictures, merchandise for "Code Geass" has also begun to be released.

However, Su Yan won't spend too much effort to direct these things now. The company has spent money to hire a bunch of talents, so even if Su Yan doesn't interfere much in the company's operations now, each department of the company will still cooperate with each other like a machine.

But the premise is that the script output of Su Yan's works can keep up.

After several years of development, Dimension Pictures has basically formed a comprehensive company from script to film and television creation, to overseas copyright, copyright adaptation into games, derivative merchandise development, and image authorization.

But the key to all this is Su Yan's script, which is the soul of Dimension Pictures.

And this thing, Su Yan can say that there are as many as he wants in the system space. He can't even move over one-tenth of those famous works from his previous world in his entire life.

So Su Yan never worries about the company's future development potential.

In the last few days of July, Su Yan went to Shanghai, and then flew across the ocean by plane. The purpose is very simple:

The movie "Weathering with You," which he had been promoting for a year and which Xia movie fans had been eagerly anticipating, was only two days away from being released.
