Depressive Screenwriter

#157 - October autumn season is coming

When Shen Liqian signed her previous contract, she wasn't nearly as popular as she is now. Joining Su Yan's company with the same conditions she signed back then was essentially a voluntary pay cut.

With Shen Liqian's current fame, wouldn't any agency she jumped to start negotiations with at least double her previous contract's terms?

But conversely, Su Yan is the one who made her as popular as she is now, so she doesn't dare to demand better conditions.

After all, she's the one asking Su Yan for a favor.

"No problem," Su Yan said with a smile.

"As long as your contract with your previous agency expires, I welcome Shen Liqian to join us."

"However, our company has only been established for less than two years, and we've only produced three or four films and TV series so far. Although the development prospects seem bright now, the future is uncertain. Our company's size, industry connections, and channels cannot compare with 'Starlight' yet. Joining us is extremely risky for you."

"Of course, I've thought about that. There are risks in everything," Shen Liqian said, pouring Su Yan a glass of wine and picking up one for herself.

"Without you, Teacher Su Yan, I would still be unable to recover from Akasaka Yoshishi's suppression, let alone have a bright future. This glass is for you."

Shen Liqian looked at Su Yan nervously. She understood that Su Yan was a man of his word. Although their conversation tonight wasn't written in a contract, as long as Su Yan drank the wine, he wouldn't go back on his word.

And tonight, when she returned, she could discuss her plans to switch agencies with her manager.

"Starlight Agency," as one of the top five largest talent agencies in Xia, had been pressuring Shen Liqian to renew her contract. Moreover, not only her, but the agency also wanted to use her and her manager's connections to get people into Su Yan's crew, which was what Shen Liqian disliked the most.

When something happens, the company is useless. But when they see profits, they rush over like crazy.

Who do they think they are looking down on?

As long as Su Yan agrees to her joining, she will have no worries about her subsequent actions.

"We can be considered mutual achievements, past, present, and future," Su Yan said with a smile, raising his glass and clinking it with Shen Liqian's before drinking it all in one gulp.

If Tokyo Love Story becomes as popular as it was in Su Yan's previous life in Japan, it's foreseeable that Shen Liqian will become Xia's top female star in one fell swoop. At least until the heat of Tokyo Love Story dissipates, that "one of" suffix won't be added.

After that will be the broadcast of Magical Girl Madoka.

Honestly, Su Yan couldn't predict whether the drama adapted from the fantasy anime series Magical Girl Madoka would be as popular in Xia as it was in the anime circle in his previous life.

But one thing is certain.

The actress who played Rika Akana in Tokyo Love Story, and who is playing the female lead in the drama after that, will have a lot of attention even before it airs.

And that drama has now been clearly identified as Madoka.

Su Yan helped Madoka solve the problems of timing, location, and people. What kind of results it can achieve in the end depends on itself.

Shen Liqian will be "one of us" by then, so there's no need to worry about various hidden dangers.

A hint of blush appeared on Shen Liqian's face, and she finally felt at ease.

Now, she's finally on the same level as Gu Qingyuan in Su Yan's heart.

If Su Yan has any new works in the future, he should fairly consider her and Gu Qingyuan, instead of being biased.

Seeing this, Shinazaki Ikumi also had a relieved look on her face.

It's better to keep the good stuff within the family, and Shinazaki Ikumi's worry was also relieved.

After all, Su Yan has so many popular dramas, which made him, Shen Liqian, and Gu Qingyuan popular, but Shen Liqian doesn't belong to the company, which has always been a hidden danger. She's also afraid that one day Su Yan will be working for someone else.

"Oh, right..." Su Yan suddenly spoke at this time.

"Miss Shinazaki, didn't you say last time that after the Garden of Words movie was released, the market response was good, and our company should invest some energy in developing movies, right?"

Shinazaki Ikumi and Shen Liqian's hands holding the ramen chopsticks stopped at the same time.

The two looked at Su Yan together.

"After the first few episodes of Tokyo Love Story are broadcast, and the frequency of our roadshows and variety show appearances for promotion is lower,"

"I might have a movie script to take out!"

Su Yan said softly.

"Everyone, you can prepare in advance and adjust your state."

Shinazaki Ikumi and Shen Liqian's hearts suddenly beat faster when they heard this.

The two knew who "everyone" referred to.

Even if Shinazaki Ikumi is too busy with Su Yan's works, she will definitely be credited as a producer.

This was said to Shen Liqian.

Su Yan always knew that Shen Liqian wanted to develop in the film direction.

Filming movies may not make as much money as filming TV series. But the influence, popularity, and status of movie stars in the industry are different.

Even in Su Yan's previous life, the fame of Hollywood movie stars was known globally. Who knows who the popular TV series stars in the United States are?

Gu Qingyuan is more of a salted fish, belonging to the tranquil personality of happy filming.

But Shen Liqian is definitely a career queen!

As for Su Yan...

After the release of Garden of Words, plus the emotional value contributed by a bunch of new fans of previous films and TV series, the emotional value in Su Yan's system space has accumulated to more than 60 million.

When Tokyo Love Story starts broadcasting, it may increase by 10 to 20 million or even more.

At that time, using these emotional values to designate and exchange some famous and classic movies from his previous life for release in Xia will also be in Su Yan's interests.

Dimensional Film and Television Production Company!

Of course, we have to grab both movies and TV series.

September time passed.

As the summer film and television drama market gradually comes to an end, the popularity of unbroadcast films and TV dramas in the October autumn market has skyrocketed.

In the summer season without Su Yan's new drama and no S-level dramas broadcast, the highest-rated work was a romance drama from China Xia TV, which ended with a rating of 4.59%, which can be considered a good result.

But Xia's viewers had eaten the thin chaff of three S-level dramas broadcast at the same time in the previous spring season.

They must be dissatisfied with these TV dramas this season!

A large number of Xia's TV drama fans are now all staring at "Blood Road," which will be broadcast on Sakura TV in October.

And "Tokyo Love Story," which will be broadcast on China Xia TV.

Although these two dramas are not S-level dramas, the actual investment, scale, and publicity are not much different.

After all, they are not special effects dramas, and after saving a sum of special effects fees, there is really no need to force in 70 to 80 million to forcibly raise the production standards of the drama to S-level, which is meaningless.

But if you only look at the cast and screenwriter lineup, the two dramas are actually the lineup of S-level dramas.

Approaching October, China Xia TV and Sakura TV went all out.

Because of the good cooperation precedent of Line Walker.

China Xia TV will not hold back at this time.

They went all out to help Tokyo Love Story with publicity.

Not to mention anything else, the old men and women who like to watch dramas on the streets and alleys and in the vegetable market have a certain understanding of the broadcast of the two dramas.

This publicity can be considered in place.

Su Yan has proven his value.

Even if the imported drama cannot maximize the copyright revenue of the TV station, as long as it can win the season's championship, the subsequent potential revenue will definitely not be low.

Moreover, there is a strange phenomenon in the Xia GG market now.

Because as long as Su Yan's drama is broadcast, there is a high probability that it will be the season's champion, even if it is like Strange Life, which did not get the season's champion.

The reputation of the drama is also very high.

The publicity effect in the market of the commercials inserted during the broadcast of Su Yan's dramas is very good.

The reason is also very simple. The audience can resonate with the drama, so they will be more pleasing to the eye of these commercials.

If the drama is rubbish, it is difficult for the audience to be interested in paying attention to the commercials.

Therefore, the price of the commercial fees in the broadcast schedule of any Su Yan drama is much higher.

Some word-of-mouth effects are slowly fermenting in the Xia market.

Time entered the end of September.

Sakura TV invited the main creative members of the Blood Road crew to Sakura TV for three consecutive days, and promoted the drama through variety shows, interview sessions and other forms.

Of course, in the process, Sakura TV and the main creative members of the Blood Road drama secretly slandered "Tokyo Love Story" under the request of the TV station.

Having already shown his true colors to Su Yan, Akasaka Yoshishi also doesn't care about being decent.

Anyway, only one of him and Su Yan can have long-term scenery in the Xia film and television market.

Either Su Yan's reputation is beaten down by him, or he, Akasaka Yoshishi, leaves and gets out.

Decency is a matter for the future.

As for Akasaka Yoshishi's slanderous remarks.

Su Yan didn't pay attention to it at first.

However, with less than a week before the broadcast of Tokyo Love Story, Su Yan doesn't mind marketing with the other party.

He began to respond to Sakura TV's slander against him.

Moreover, when fighting with words, he doesn't give the other party any face.

The news media has material to report every day, and fans on both sides have new melons to eat every day, and they are arguing endlessly on the Internet.

Just like that.

Time entered October.

The autumn schedule of Xia's film and television dramas officially kicked off.
