【Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Episode 3 is Full of Special Effects, but the Plot Becomes Mediocre. The Plot of Main Character David and Maine's Crew Performing Cyberpunk Missions Clearly Does Not Meet the Expectations of Su Yan's Fans!】

When the ratings were good, the media raved about Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' special effects, novel plot, and invincible quality.

After the ratings declined, the media could also find "shortcomings" from various angles.

Any work will have god-tier episodes and paving episodes. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners Episode 3 is at a turning point in the plot.

The male protagonist David meets Maine, joins Maine's team, and becomes a cyberpunk.

Maine's team includes the technical expert Pilar. Shen Liqian plays the foul-mouthed gunslinger Rebecca. Maine's girlfriend, the combatant Dorio. The driver Falco. The hacker Kiwi, and the female lead Lucy.

The appearance and character development of these characters will definitely take up a lot of space in the third episode, making the main line progress somewhat slowly.

Although Rebecca's foul-mouthed gunslinger persona easily reminds viewers of Kaori Miyazono, thereby attracting a wave of fans,

the overall slow and introductory plot of the third episode naturally cannot keep as many viewers as the first two episodes.

But Cyberpunk: Edgerunners itself tells the story of the Maine crew's demise.

When everyone in the crew dies one by one in the process of being a cyberpunk and performing dangerous missions, the tragic fate of this group of like-minded, laughing partners ultimately falling apart is the biggest highlight of this drama.

To put it bluntly, the third episode of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has just entered the main storyline.

The slow increase in ratings was also within Su Yan's expectations.

But the media couldn't wait and posted articles mocking him.

Sakura TV.

Akasaka Yoshitoki's mood today is half joyful and half annoyed.

What's joyful is that Cyberpunk: Edgerunners' ratings have fallen to third place.

But what's annoying is that the top-rated show is not Sakura TV's "Black Gate."

"Forget it... Starting next week, the drama Black Gate will start its counterattack." Akasaka Yoshitoki smiled slightly.

Akasaka Yoshitoki has great confidence in the drama "Black Gate." Although filming only took half a year, the script has been polished for more than two years. From the fourth episode onwards, the plot will truly enter a white-hot stage, and the excitement will greatly increase.

If the ratings of its early episodes can maintain the second position, then it is a certainty that Black Gate's ratings will reach the top by the end of the broadcast.

Akasaka Yoshitoki's expectation for this drama is that its highest single-episode rating will break 5.5%, surpass the record of Shanghai TV's S-level drama "Dawn" five years ago, win the seasonal and annual championship, and then sweep all the major awards at next year's Summer Flame Awards as a finale.

By then, he will not only defeat Su Yan head-on to prove Sakura TV, but this achievement can also be used as Akasaka Yoshitoki's biggest achievement after taking office as the head of the production department, stabilizing the current market and the internal opinion of the TV station towards him.

Dimensional Film and Television Production Company.

It's almost May, and in addition to handling the broadcasting affairs of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, Su Yan has to put some energy into the production and promotion of The Garden of Words.

In the field of TV dramas, Su Yan is definitely a celebrity now.

But in the field of movies, he is just a newcomer.

In Su Yan's previous life, a large number of popular TV drama stars switched to the film industry, but their results were lukewarm, and the same is true in Xia Country.

The Garden of Words had a great reputation in Su Yan's previous life because it was an early work of Makoto Shinkai. At that time, Makoto Shinkai did not have the fame and funds to promote it, which led to the mediocre results of the work.

But...

Su Yan is now famous and rich anyway.

Regardless of how much these reputations can be converted into movie fans, the topic will definitely be full before the release!

As for funding...

The GG implantation merchants during the broadcast of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners are a great help.

The film distributor found by Su Yan's company is only willing to help Su Yan's drama solve the basic distribution problems of the film. The publicity funds and publicity channels of the film are very average.

Of course, if Su Yan himself is willing to spend money to add to the publicity, they can also increase their efforts and help Su Yan negotiate with the managers of the national theater chains about the screening schedule.

Having seen many examples of TV drama stars flopping in the film industry, this distribution company's attitude towards Su Yan's film is not enthusiastic.

Of course, such a film distributor will definitely not have a too high final box office split ratio. If Su Yan himself contributes a large amount of funds for publicity, then he will definitely get more of the box office split!

"So that's the situation! The shooting of The Garden of Words is not difficult, and it will not take long to finish shooting. Then, it will take a little time for post-production and editing, and we can see the finished film in June," said Xiaozaki Ikumi.

"It's just for the publicity expenses of The Garden of Words..."

"The other party is called Tianxing Film and Television Company, right." Su Yan said with a smile while looking at the information in his hand.

"Yes, it is considered quite famous among the film distribution companies in Xia Country. The summer season when The Garden of Words is released lasts for more than a month, and more than 20 films will be released during the entire season. The other party does not think that our The Garden of Words can achieve any good results in it, so the attitude is naturally..." Xiaozaki Ikumi's expression was a little embarrassed.

Although she knew that this was the film industry's attitude towards Su Yan, in the end, she would be a little angry.

"It's okay, we can spend some money ourselves." Su Yan thought for a while and said.

"But we have to negotiate the increased box office split ratio with the other party if we spend our own money."

The box office split ratio of the theater is fixed, and what can be negotiated is the box office split ratio between the production party and the distribution party.

"I hope the other party doesn't regret it then," Su Yan said.

"By the way, watch less of the online media comments recently. I see you like this, going to see the online reviews and media comments all night and can't sleep, right? You have dark circles under your eyes."

"It's easy to say, but how can people's hearts be so easily controlled? I actually understand that the essence of the plot of Edgerunners will only come after Maine dies, and the ratings will probably rise then. But... seeing Edgerunners' ratings drop to third place, I'm still unwilling. It's okay to lose to Nanmeng, but to lose to Sakura TV's Black Gate."

"And although I really believe in Edgerunners, both Black Gate and Nanmeng are S-level dramas. The plot of Edgerunners is getting better and better, so what about our two opponents? Will they also be like this?" Xiaozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan

"Your guess is very reasonable," Su Yan thought for a while and said.

"But no matter whether the ratings of Black Gate and Nanmeng will continue to rise in the later stages, I believe Cyberpunk: Edgerunners will definitely surpass them and win the seasonal championship this season!"

"As the creators of this drama, we two must have this kind of confidence! We defeated the three major TV stations in the quarter that started in April, and now we can do it again."

Although Xiaozaki Ikumi knew that this was a pep talk that Su Yan said to her, she was still inexplicably receptive.

After all, judging from previous experiences, most of Su Yan's pep talks have come true.

Late April, weekend.

The fourth week of the spring season begins.

The plot of the fourth episode of Black Gate has a divine twist. The number of new comments about this drama on Sakura Online on the night of its premiere has greatly increased compared to last week.

The work's rating rose to 9.4 overnight.

The next day, the ratings data for the fourth episode of Black Gate came out.

5.31%.

Compared to its third episode, the ratings can be said to have greatly increased.

Many people in the industry found something wrong.

How does it feel like this drama Black Gate is only starting to exert its strength now!

The plot, music, special effects, and story depth of the fourth episode are all fully loaded, and a group of fans cried on the spot.

In comparison, although the audience's evaluation after watching the fourth episode of Nanmeng, which premiered on Saturday, was as good as ever,

it was obvious that it was not as good as the public opinion caused by the fourth episode of Black Gate.

The ratings of the fourth episode of Nanmeng were 5.23%, which is a slight drop compared to the third episode.

On Sunday, the fourth episode of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners premiered.

Close to the premiere, Su Yan's fans on the Internet have already taken their places.

"Here it comes!"

"Everyone must not be lazy this week. Even if you can see the online broadcast resources on Xingxia.com in two days, why spend money when you can get free resources from the TV station? The most important thing is to contribute to the ratings of this drama!"

"Edgerunners directly dropped to third place last week, it's really annoying!"

"Rush, rush, rush, everyone work harder. Let Edgerunners' ratings return to first place tonight."

"Although I also like this drama very much, I always feel that Way of the Sword is better than Edgerunners in terms of stories that are all about fighting and love!"

"Of course, Way of the Sword is about close combat, and Edgerunners is about gun battles. Just in terms of viewing, Way of the Sword is definitely better. Moreover, the hero's ideal of saving the world and his emotional entanglement with Yukishiro Tomoe in Way of the Sword also elevate the depth of the work a lot. But Edgerunners, for the time being, has not reached that level..."

"This is only the third episode. Maybe the story theme will be different after two more episodes. I believe that Director Su Yan is willing to invest so much money in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners to make it an S-level drama, then this script must be an absolute masterpiece in his eyes before he will do this!"

"Yes, I believe in Old Thief Su Yan!"

Zhou Panpan watched the comments on the Internet with relish. Unknowingly, it was eight o'clock.

She only looked up when she heard the familiar Cyberpunk: Edgerunners electronic theme song from the TV.

"It's starting again!"

Zhou Panpan took a sip of milk.

"I hope there will be less gunfights and more romance in this week's episode. Old Thief Su Yan, I'm here to see your love scenes, don't always portray the cyberpunk fighting career!"

Soon, the theme song ended, and the plot screen continued from last week's third episode.

This episode does not have so many fighting scenes, but instead begins to shape the communication between David and the members of Maine's crew.

Pilar, who has long arm prosthetics, likes to tell dirty jokes, but is actually a very generous person.

Rebecca, who draws her gun at the slightest disagreement, gives the middle finger to others, and is foul-mouthed and cute.

She held a gun in her hand and said to David with a sweet and lovely smile.

【See you later, David!】

Zhou Panpan's heart suddenly filled with anticipation.

It would be nice if Shen Liqian and Su Yan also fell in love in this drama!

In order to improve his physical fitness and become a qualified cyberpunk.

Maine had Lucy take David through daily physical training.

Performing missions and training physical fitness with Lucy.

Here, Su Yan added to the plot that David learned after joining Maine's crew that the hospital where his mother died was opened by "Cleaners," a black gang organization in Night City that specializes in harvesting organs.

He understood that his mother's death must have been unclear. Maybe it was live organ harvesting, and then the remains were burned into ashes.

Then, when David performed a team mission, he also let David avenge this hatred by directly shooting a black-hearted doctor.

Zhou Panpan also entered the state when she saw this.

Although it wasn't her favorite romance plot, but...

It seems a little passionate too.

David gradually integrated into Maine's crew.

From a rookie at the beginning, to gradually becoming handy in dangerous gunfights, explosions, and assassination missions.

He used Sandevistan's elusive movements that everyone could not see clearly, and became a very useful member of the team.

These plots in the first half of the episode are very interesting.

But for Zhou Panpan, what was more interesting was in the second half of the episode, where Maine taught David how to chase Lucy.

You can talk to Lucy during physical training.

David thought that Lucy didn't have that kind of feeling for him.

But Maine saw that it was completely wrong and encouraged him to be brave.

Unknowingly, Zhou Panpan showed a knowing smile.

But these daily interspersed plots also have a lot of details.

And in this episode, in addition to Lucy and David doing physical training, Rebecca also knows about David's gun training.

And it is obvious that Rebecca...

Developed feelings for David.

Then there is the huge turning point in this episode.

The Maine crew was on the night street after performing a mission.

Met a man standing on a container urinating.

Taking off his pants, putting his hands on his hips, standing high, looking at them with a confused expression.

Zhou Panpan's eyes widened.

Although the key parts are covered, this drama is really dare to shoot!

There are no good people in Night City, so why are there so many perverts?

Pilar, a long-armed member of the team, couldn't stand it and directly went up to condemn him.

Then.

Bang!!!

Zhou Panpan's heart was pounding wildly at this moment.

With the blessing of special effects lenses, Rebecca's brother Pilar was directly headshot by a pistol, and his eyeballs and mandible flew directly in front of David.

This scene was so beautiful that Zhou Panpan's milk in her stomach felt a little nauseous.
