Depressive Screenwriter

#332 - public opinion

Female viewers were fine, but the male audience collectively exploded these past two days.

"Awesome! Mobile Suit, awesome!"

"I knew Su Yan's mecha setting had potential. So, besides Lelouch, Su Yan is also planning to film a similar type of work~"

"Looking at the information on the official website, it seems that Mobile Suit Gundam is not a sequel to Lelouch, but rather a future space technology. This means that these giant robots are not limited to Blue Star but can soar in the universe."

"Is Su Yan already conceiving such a work?"

"Other screenwriters are still doing melodramatic workplace dramas, while Old Thief is already aiming for the stars and the sea?"

"Then why didn't he film these dramas before!"

"You're dumb. Did Su Yan have the money to film these dramas before? Gundam, if you're not the boss investing yourself, how could you get four or five hundred million in funding from the market? The Xia country TV drama circle doesn't have such a big market. To make a profit from this investment, it not only has to be popular in Xia country but also overseas!"

"Being your own boss is awesome! Su Yan is the only one in the entire Xia country with the strength to create such a work."

"There are many people who have the strength to take out hundreds of millions in funding, but Su Yan is the only one who has the strength to take so much money to film a drama and still make a profit! He's the only one who can open up this market, and he's the only one who can earn this money!"

"I'm already looking forward to it so much, a universe version of robot wars, awesome!"

"The casting for this drama is happening in Tokyo these few days. Anyone in Sakura Island can try their luck at Old Thief's company. A bunch of domestic and foreign stars are gathered here. I've gotten more than twenty celebrity autographs outside the company!"

"Su Yan's Dimensional Film and Television Company branch building in Sakura Island these days is comparable to a film award ceremony, with a huge number of stars attending!"

"Envy, I don't have the money to fly to Tokyo, otherwise, I would have gone to ask Old Thief for an autograph!"

Online, discussions about Su Yan's two new drama casting sessions and Mobile Suit Gundam were overwhelming.

And Su Yan, these days, was extremely busy with the casting for Gundam.

The supporting roles can be left to his subordinates, but he definitely has to personally oversee the important main cast members.

Moreover, having developed to his current stage, although he doesn't like it, he definitely has to deal with the necessary social niceties.

If he wants to open up the overseas market, he needs the help of the overseas film and television circle's capital, otherwise, in their territory, there are too many ways to prevent you from making money.

Su Yan doesn't accept other capital from investing in Gundam and sharing the copyright, then he has to accept the suggestion of having the partner's artists inserted into the crew.

You have to let others have something to gain, then they will cooperate with him and help him open up the influence of his works in major markets.

But Su Yan's works have basically shown the potential to be a global hit, and there are too many partners who want to insert their artists into the crew to become famous, and the balance between these parties is also a headache for Su Yan.

"Sigh."

At the audition site, Su Yan twirled a pen in his fingers and sighed softly.

A pretty foreign young actress in front of him immediately had red eyes while holding the audition script.

"Don't misunderstand, I'm not targeting you, your performance is very good," Su Yan said quickly, and the translator next to him conveyed Su Yan's words.

After the actress left, Shinozaki Ikumi leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"What's wrong, are you in a bad mood today?"

"Not really, just a little emotional!"

"You feel that there are too many interests of all parties mixed in your current works, right?" Shinozaki Ikumi quickly understood Su Yan's meaning.

"This can't be helped. Fortunately, the auditionees brought by these overseas partners still meet the requirements, at least their private lives are decent, there are no scandals, and their acting skills are quite good."

"That's natural, I made it clear to them that if they bring a vase who doesn't know anything, no matter who it is, I will send them home myself, don't come and pollute my crew," Su Yan said with a smile.

"After the crew casting for these two dramas ends in these two weeks, the next step is the movie casting for Suzume's Journey, and the filming of the third Rurouni Kenshin movie. I get a headache just thinking about it!" Su Yan said.

"It's all your own choice," Shinozaki Ikumi said gleefully.

"If you don't participate in these works, the popularity and ratings will definitely decline, but if you participate, you will be working on several crews at the same time, and you won't have a moment of peace. I think, just like the foreigners say, you are just a workaholic."

"? Foreign fans say that about me?" Su Yan asked curiously.

"Of course, in seven or eight years, you have produced dozens of film and television dramas, and basically all of them are starring or important roles. All of these works are also written by you, and most of them are responsible for the creation and review of the music and art of the works. Do you know how shocked foreigners were when they dug up your acting and creative experience after Lelouch and FSN became popular?" Shinozaki Ikumi said with a smile on her face.

"Many foreigners suspect that you are an alien. They don't believe that earthlings have this kind of energy, physical strength, and a constant stream of creativity."

"Hehe," Su Yan smiled awkwardly.

In fact, these people's guesses are not necessarily untrue.

"I don't know what it will be like in ten years?" Shinozaki Ikumi said softly, looking at a performing arts student from the Imperial Capital area who was called in to continue the audition, before she started performing.

Su Yan thought for a while and smiled.

"Dimensional Film and Television Company will become a household name film and television production company on Blue Star."

After all, if the Mobile Suit Gundam IP can really accumulate enough fan popularity through TV dramas, Su Yan believes that the probability of filming a series of movies and then becoming a global hit is very high.

Some IPs have this potential, but it depends on whether investors are willing to invest.

In his previous life, the Marvel series was also almost bankrupt. It was just that Iron Man made a lot of money, which led to the birth of the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. If the Iron Man movie lost money, Marvel would go bankrupt.

A good start is more important than anything else. As long as the TV series starts well, Su Yan is confident that this IP can become popular all over the world in ten years.

"Hopefully," Shinozaki Ikumi said with a smile.

Both of them began to stare at the girl's performance in front of them. After she left, Su Yan frowned, and Shinozaki Ikumi also drew an X on her name.

"The daughter of the deputy director of Shanghai TV station, she called me for a long time before asking for this opportunity, but her performance is unsatisfactory. I would have hired her under the same performance effect at the audition, but now, forget it..." Shinozaki Ikumi also expressed her opinion.

Her and Su Yan's prerequisite for these partner's requests is that the people they insert are professionally qualified. If their acting skills are not good, no relationship is useful.

"Agreed," Su Yan said.

For him now, the deputy director of Shanghai TV station is really not enough to be taken seriously. Su Yan would be slightly polite to the director or chairman of the board.

Otherwise, if he had to take care of everyone's emotions, there would be hundreds of influential figures in the entire industry. If he had to warm their hearts, wouldn't Su Yan become a central air conditioner?

In two sentences between the two, the top student in the Imperial Capital Film Academy, one of the top two film schools in Xia country, whose father is a big shot in the industry, and whose future is infinitely bright in the eyes of her classmates, was completely rejected in this audition.

And just as the audition was being held, on the other side, the tenth episode of the Lelouch TV series also finished broadcasting.

The most crucial and explosive climax chapter of the first season of this drama has also begun to be laid out!
