Depressive Screenwriter

For Dimensional Pictures, Su Yan only needs to produce the script now. He doesn't have to put in as much effort as before.

The practitioners in Xia are not stupid. After working with Su Yan on so many works, they have a certain expectation of what the effect of Su Yan's script will be, how to choose actors, and how to build a production team.

It won't be like before with the dramas, where Su Yan had to oversee everything from casting, storyboarding, visuals, and background art style. Otherwise, Su Yan wouldn't have been able to produce so many works in recent years. If he were responsible for all the work, he would be exhausted.

After the scripts for "Gundam SEED" and "Gundam Z" were distributed, "Weathering with You" was still showing in theaters, with box office revenue approaching the 2 billion mark. The script for "Suzume" was also distributed from Su Yan's office.

After Su Yan's works circulated from Xia to overseas, the emotional value earned increased geometrically. After "FSN" became famous, the copyrights of Su Yan's previous works were all sold, and they began to spread widely in some major overseas countries. After the emotional value was full, Su Yan didn't have to be as stingy as before. If this situation continues for a while, Su Yan will soon be able to exchange for those big IP works.

And Dimensional Pictures' series of actions, from top to bottom, have attracted great attention in the Xia film and television industry, and even in the foreign film and television industry.

Especially the "Gundam" series, which itself requires a large number of foreign actors to participate. After Dimensional Pictures released the demand, a small half of the people who signed up for the audition sent emails from foreigners.

Su Yan didn't have time to deal with these things. For him, after the script was written, he had to replicate at least those classic tracks from the original work. Just like "Slam Dunk" without the misheard "three leather belts" theme song, it wouldn't be the same. "Initial D" without the "Deja Vu" theme song would also lose its charm. Some works can become popular also thanks to the works' music writers, their contribution is also very large.

Moreover, contacting the special effects company and discussing the special effects style and production process of the "Gundam" series with the people from the special effects company is also time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Soon, everyone in Dimensional Pictures was once again plunged into busyness.

And in this process, the sixth episode of the "Code Geass" television series was also successfully broadcast.

This drama took six weeks to let the drama audiences in Xia, and even the world, know Su Yan, and know that there is also a genre of science fiction dramas, mecha warfare.

Lelouch, from the first episode's forbearing teenager, gained the power to give an order once in a lifetime by looking directly into the other person's eyes, this power is called Geass.

And his shortcoming of only having intelligence but lacking strength was filled at the moment he met C.C..

From the second episode, Lelouch kept making trouble. During the day, he was a student at a noble academy, and at night, he used the alias Zero to lead the rebel revolutionaries in Area 11 after colonization to launch a rebellion against the Britannia Empire's brutal rule.

Then in the sixth episode, the troops under Lelouch formed a scale. In order to save another revolutionary teammate who was besieged by the Second Princess Cornelia, Lelouch lured the enemy deep into the battlefield and triggered a mudslide at a key pass, annihilating Cornelia's troops. But at the same time, this mudslide also went down the ridge and rushed into the nearby urban area, killing Lelouch's close friend, the female supporting character of this work, Shirley, who has a crush on Lelouch's father.

At this point, the first plot in this work that made the audience feel a little sad appeared.

The Shirley in the original work is actually a bit scheming, but not bad, and in the Xia version of Shirley, Su Yan has slightly modified some details.

After all, she is also a tragic character. Some of the controversial points of the characters in the previous life are only on one or two lines. Deleting those lines does not affect the main line, and what's more, it can make this character more liked by everyone, and then when she is killed in the seventh episode and the second season, it will be more healing, so as to earn more emotional value, why wouldn't Su Yan do it?

So from the sixth episode broadcast to the present week, Shirley's popularity has skyrocketed, and many Shirley fans have also begun to publicly speak out for the character.

"The old thief has to give an explanation for tonight's plot, right? Lelouch's military operation killed Shirley's father, doesn't he have any expression?"

"What can he express? Lelouch's military operations killed more than just Shirley's father. His revolutionary army soldiers and Britannia army soldiers all have family and children. How is it possible that Shirley is special?"

"Actually, this drama has succeeded if it can make everyone have this kind of thinking. In the past, watching war dramas only focused on how exciting the scenes were, but now they will also think about the right and wrong of war."

"It's just a little bit of heartache for Shirley, such a cute girl, alas. Lelouch became her father's killer, now she and Lelouch should be impossible."

"It was impossible from the beginning! Haven't you understood this drama yet? There is only one first female lead, which is C.C. All the others are female supporting characters, including Kallen, Shirley, etc., all are loser dogs!"

"Loser dog... this name is very novel!"

"Is it novel? It came out from the Dimensional Pictures crew. It is said that it was created by Su Yan. For the female supporting character who failed in the emotional competition in the film and television works, all are replaced by loser dog!"

Cheng Hanfei's fingers were crackling on the computer.

The biggest pleasure of being Su Yan's fan is not when chasing dramas, but in the fan group discussion after each episode is broadcast.

Like the "Code Geass" drama, more than a month after it started broadcasting, C.C. party, Shirley party, Kallen party came out, and even Princess Cornelia party, Euphemia party also appeared. Everyone argued about who is the most successful female character in this work.

No one is wrong, one is the first, one is the only, one is the content, one is at first glance!

Of course, since the broadcast of this drama, characters such as Uncle Orange have also been circulating, but of all the characters that have appeared, only Suzaku Kururugi firmly occupies the top of the list of the most unpopular TV drama characters in Xia this season.

A native of Area 11, joining the Britannia army is already a traitor. He also helped the Britannia army to increase the pressure on the fellow countrymen's rebel army. No matter from what point of view, it cannot be washed away. Lelouch, under the alias Zero, invited him to do great things, but he didn't come. He beautified it by saying that he wanted to change Britannia from the inside, using peaceful means. Who do you think you are? Peace your mother, people are such a big empire decision-maker, why should they listen to your words as a defeated soldier?

The most ridiculous thing is that he still has a little talent. He drives the Lancelot model every day and can destroy Lelouch's actions. He is more than capable of failing, but not enough to succeed.

"I hope that in tonight's plot, Su Yan will directly arrange for Suzaku to die," Cheng Hanfei sighed, and looked at the TV screen in the living room.

The TV shopping program is selling Suzaku's Lancelot white model, but Cheng Hanfei has no desire to buy it.
