Depressive Screenwriter

One week passed.

The media in Xia Country quickly reported on the premiere results of "Tokyo Love Story."

The premiere viewership was 5.02%, basically the same as "Edge Walker."

And everyone has seen the viewership ratings of "Edge Walker."

Since it's also a drama by Su Yan, this premiere result of "Tokyo Love Story" inevitably leads to speculation.

Sakura TV went practically insane this week. The strong premiere of "Tokyo Love Story" completely frustrated Akasaka Yoshitoki.

In his career as a producer, he had never encountered a freak like Su Yan.

Even the most talented screenwriters have at least one work that performs just okay, right?

I can accept that you, Su Yan, are a genius.

But even geniuses have limits!

Isn't it normal for the top student in the class to occasionally slip and get second place when they're not feeling well?

Why is it that every work Su Yan has produced since his debut has been so outrageous?

There's no sign of anything like a decline in popularity or a fall from grace.

Akasaka Yoshitoki's hired online trolls were frantically spreading rumors and smearing Su Yan.

But what's the point now?

The drama fans in Xia Country aren't stupid, and besides, these trolls are insignificant compared to the number of Su Yan's fans.

Relying on these unsubstantiated smears, ha.

They can't even stir up any controversy.

It's Friday again, and the second episode of "Blood Road" is broadcast.

The second episode of this drama, on which Akasaka Yoshitoki had pinned his hopes, achieved a viewership rating of 4.98%.

It was just a little short of breaking the 5% mark.

A very regrettable figure.

But for a work that is strictly still in the category of an A-grade drama.

This result can be called a major hit.

But no matter how good your results are, who remembers second place?

Since the second episode of "Blood Road" didn't surpass the first episode of "Tokyo Love Story," many colleagues in the television industry in Xia Country probably have a good idea of what's going on.

Su Yan's works always start low and rise high; they've never seen one start high and fall low.

But it's not entirely without a chance.

On the weekend, Akasaka Yoshitoki was at home and at the company, constantly cursing the second episode of "Tokyo Love Story" to flop.

He could already feel a cold wind blowing on the back of his neck.

In the past quarter, because of Su Yan, he simultaneously produced two major dramas, "Tokyo Love Story" and "Madoka Magica," and he also hurriedly launched two works of the same level to compete against them.

If "Tokyo Love Story" still surpasses "Blood Road" in viewership this quarter.

His position as department head will be in jeopardy.

And if he still can't suppress Su Yan's momentum and restore Sakura TV's reputation in the quarter when "Madoka Magica" premieres.

Koseki Ayaka will have a 90% chance or more of directly replacing him.

On Sunday afternoon, Akasaka Yoshitoki, returning home from work, looked at the screen showing Xia Country TV in the living room with a gloomy expression, and his wife didn't dare to speak to him at all.

As for Kiyota Sanji, his nephew who caused the conflict between him and Su Yan, Akasaka Yoshitoki has almost completely cut off contact with him.

In the evening,

Li Xuan stayed at home, watching the TV screen, waiting for the premiere of the second episode of "Tokyo Love Story."

Some works are interesting to some people.

To some people, they are excellent.

And to some people, they are masterpieces!

"Tokyo Love Story" is a masterpiece to Li Xuan.

Although only one episode has aired, he has been thinking about the female lead, Rika Akana, for a week.

Having prepared midnight snacks, desserts, and snacks for binge-watching in advance.

Li Xuan's heart gradually warmed up.

At exactly eight o'clock, the theme song of "Tokyo Love Story" sounded.

That melody with a hint of sadness stirred Li Xuan's emotions.

At the beginning of the plot, it is still from the perspective of the protagonist, Kanji Nagao.

After their separation that night, their relationship seemed to have progressed, but it seemed that there was no difference.

Although Rika kissed Kanji on the cheek, she didn't take it any further, but continued to interact with him as a colleague cautiously.

"Eh? Are people in the Sakurajima area all like this?" Li Xuan looked at it with some confusion.

If a girl kissed him, it would definitely mean a confession.

But Rika didn't care the next day.

She was still interacting with the male lead as a colleague, perhaps a little closer, but definitely not crossing the line.

This made him a little confused.

[My Valentine's Day is open all year round.]

[Are you pitying me? Because you saw Sekiguchi and Rimi like that, you feel sorry for me, so you pity me?]

[I'll be angry.]

[Then why?]

[The reasons are endless.]

Li Xuan unexpectedly accepted this sentence spoken by Rika Akana with a smile very naturally.

He felt that this view of love was so bold and incredible, but he could easily accept it when such words came from Rika.

Only

"Kanji Nagao, are you a fool? Rika obviously likes you, but she doesn't want to put too much pressure on you, so she doesn't ask you to take it further. What are you comforting yourself for here?" Li Xuan also had opinions on the male lead, Kanji, at this time.

The next plot briefly introduced Rika's relationship with the company's department head.

Although the plot only subtly hints, Li Xuan still noticed that Rika seemed to have had some emotional entanglement with the company's department head before, and then

The two are now in a breakup state.

Emm

Although a little upset, Li Xuan had to accept it.

After all, workplace dramas can't be like campus romance dramas, where all the characters are love newbies, right?

The plot progressed as quickly as ever. Rimi Sekiguchi was distracted by that kiss from Mikami, and she was absent-minded at work.

Rika Akana took various opportunities to get along with the male lead, Kanji Nagao.

Mikami and Kanji Nagao had a conflict because of Mikami's kiss with Rimi that night.

Then, there was the exclusive dialogue between the two emotional peak masters in this drama, Kenichi Mikami and Rika Akana.

In this drama, Kenichi Mikami is a male playboy. Basically, all the girls he is interested in can be flirted with by him, and his playboy scenes are filmed in a way that doesn't make the audience feel abrupt at all.

And Rika is also an emotional master in this drama, but unlike Mikami, she is very dedicated. Although she can see through everyone's thoughts, she will not use other people's psychological weaknesses to tease others like Mikami.

This can be seen from the dialogue between Rika and Mikami.

Mikami easily saw that she liked Kanji Nagao and also said that Kanji liked Rimi.

Even though Kanji had never said these things once, Mikami knew.

But Rika didn't care, but asked back.

[So what?]

Rika's words crashed Li Xuan's brain.

A normal person should at least feel a little down when they know that the person they like likes another girl.

But Rika wouldn't.

She doesn't care.

Her liking him is her business.

Later on, Rika, Kanji, and Rimi can even go to ice hockey games and eat together.

This kind of love triangle scene in ordinary romance dramas is as harmonious as a meal between three close friends.

It's not that Rika is restraining herself.

It's true that she likes Kanji, and it's true that Kanji likes Rimi.

But Rika wouldn't be hostile to Rimi because of this, and even planned to become friends with Rimi.

"What kind of fairy girl is this?" Li Xuan was once again shocked by Rika's character setting in this drama.

Her view of love and values can be said to be absolutely different from ordinary people, but she is likable.

The plot continues to advance.

Kanji was distracted by the rumors of Rika's affair with the department head circulating in the company and mustered up the courage to ask.

But Rika boldly admitted it.

Every step of the plot exceeded Li Xuan's imagination.

In a normal romance drama, girls would definitely hide these things from the boys they like.

What's more, it was Rika's past affair with a married man.

But Rika boldly admitted it.

[Is it okay to sleep with anyone as long as you like them?] After Kanji Nagao said this sentence.

Li Xuan's eyes narrowed.

That's too much.

Although he knew that it was normal for the male lead to say this, and the male lead's values were correct.

But this statement

"Buddy, are you stupid? Don't you know Rika's feelings for you? You're hurting her too much by saying that?"

Sure enough, in the subsequent plot, Rika directly threw tea on his face.

She didn't retreat her bottom line in the face of Kanji Nagao just because she liked him.

[Then please tell me, how can I not like others?]

When Rika said this sentence with an angry face, Li Xuan's heart trembled.

Although he knew that the other party had a wife, he just liked him.

But in the end, he broke up with the department head because of these things.

At this moment, a group of viewers in Xia Country probably understood her essence.

She knows what is right and what is wrong, but she is too dare to love and hate and disregards worldly views.

This was the case with her affair with her boss.

Now, it is also the case with her pursuit of the male lead, Kanji Nagao.

She will rush to objects that normal people shy away from like a moth, without hesitation, as long as she has determined her heart.

Li Xuan opened his mouth. Normally speaking, he should hate girls with this kind of values.

It's too shocking to the world.

But he can't hate Rika Akana in this TV series.

It's very strange.

He clearly knows that her values are wrong, but he just can't hate her.

Li Xuan knew what this meant.

"Am I fascinated by her?"

People will only accept someone's shortcomings when they like them.

Rika Akana's character is so contradictory, but Li Xuan doesn't want to criticize her.

He can only think of this reason.

At the same time, when a large number of viewers in Xia Country saw this, although they knew that the male lead Kanji Nagao's values were correct.

But they all stood on Rika Akana's side.

Male lead, you may be right in principle.

But I don't want to reason, I blindly help Rika Akana.

If you make her angry, get out of here!

At this moment, Su Yan received a large amount of negative emotional value from fans in Xia Country.
