Depressive Screenwriter

"Like a Bouquet of Love", "5 Centimeters Per Second"?"

When Su Yan presented the two movie scripts to Ayami Shinozaki, her eyes widened.

Su Yan had mentioned it before, but she was still surprised that he produced two movie scripts in less than two weeks.

Like Su Yan's previous favorite works, both of these movies were depressing.

In some ways, the two movies were two completely different styles of depressing.

5 Centimeters Per Second is the story of a boy and a girl who have feelings for each other since childhood, gradually drifting apart due to long-distance relationships and the passage of time.

But what about Like a Bouquet of Love?

Can a couple who are like-minded, have the same interests, like the same songs, food, idols, hobbies, and even dress the same, find happiness after being together?

The answer this movie gives is no.

Regret runs through life from beginning to end.

As usual, Ayami Shinozaki started reading the script after receiving it.

Compared to the anime version from his previous life, the script for 5 Centimeters Per Second in Xia Country added a lot of Makoto Shinkai's original novel content, so the length was increased, and there was a certain amount of description of how Akari grew up in junior and senior high school.

Ayami Shinozaki quickly got into the story, spending more than half an hour.

With a hint of anticipation on her face, she turned to the last page of the 5 Centimeters Per Second script, and finally saw the ending.

Her chest felt like it had been hit by a heavy hammer.

Painful.

She actually had some prevention in her heart.

Most of Su Yan's works are basically depressing. If you were to say that the two movie scripts that Su Yan just took out had happy endings, Ayami Shinozaki would be the first to object.

But even with psychological expectations, it's often useless.

Taking a deep breath, Ayami Shinozaki looked at Su Yan, who was sitting in a chair watching the computer, checking the online reviews of Tokyo Love Story, and the news media manuscripts.

Sure enough, she couldn't have any expectations for him.

Since 5 Centimeters Per Second is depressing, then this Like a Bouquet of Love is probably also...

She picked up the Like a Bouquet of Love script.

Soon, she became engrossed in it.

The love story of two people who are like-minded, have completely the same interests, hobbies, values, views on love, and a completely consistent worldview.

When she turned to the last page of the script.

She sighed.

It was a bit caught off guard.

Ayami Shinozaki looked at Su Yan again.

Both scripts made her feel very uncomfortable.

In terms of making people uncomfortable, 5 Centimeters Per Second is explosive, suddenly hitting you with a hammer.

And Like a Bouquet of Love is gradual, and after finally reading the script, there is a deep sense of loss and confusion in your heart.

At this time, Su Yan was bored, so he was playing Candy Crush on the computer while eating toast and drinking coffee, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth because he was having fun.

Yeah.

That's right, anyone who doesn't know Su Yan would definitely think he is a sunny boy when they see this scene.

But...

Ayami Shinozaki looked at the two movie scripts in her hand speechlessly.

She could probably imagine how many of Su Yan's fans would break down in tears in the movie theater after these two movies were released.

The Garden of Words at least had a good ending. Although the male protagonist didn't end up with the female protagonist, at least there was still a thought!

But 5 Centimeters Per Second and Like a Bouquet of Love!

There is no thought at all. If couples go to see these two movies together, they can only walk out of the movie theater in silence.

Especially Like a Bouquet of Love, which is directly a breakup movie template.

"How is it? Do you think it's interesting?" Su Yan happened to finish a level of Candy Crush and looked up to see Ayami Shinozaki staring at him.

"Interesting?" Ayami Shinozaki's tone was strange.

"Your script has nothing to do with being interesting. It can only be said that the process of reading it is very uncomfortable, but you can't help but finish reading the script. Maybe I'm a masochist. Maybe your fans are also masochists."

"Don't say that.", Su Yan said.

"This shows that you and my fans are all people who have broken away from low-level tastes."

"." Ayami Shinozaki.

"Okay, let's take the script down and study it for now. After the filming of Tokyo Love Story and Madoka Magica is over, the filming of 5 Centimeters Per Second and Like a Bouquet of Love will have to start.", Su Yan said.

Ayami Shinozaki nodded upon hearing this.

Because the entire crew of the company is now in the Tokyo area, Su Yan also saved himself the trouble of racking his brains, and the script did not replace the protagonists with people from the mainland.

The locations, scenes, and long-distance relationship locations of the male and female protagonists in the original 5 Centimeters Per Second only need to be changed for Akari's character, and generally do not need to be changed.

However, the place where the male protagonist transferred to needs to be based on where satellites were launched in the Sakurajima area in the past two or three decades, and a suitable place needs to be found for on-site shooting.

It's relatively complicated.

As for the budget or something...

There are more than 300 million in cash lying in the company's account. When the various incomes after the broadcast of Tokyo Love Story and Madoka Magica are credited, the cash in the account will be much more. It is completely enough for the filming of just two love movies.

The film and television industry not only needs to have a good script, but also a rich capital willing to invest, so that the box office of the work may touch the upper limit of the script.

Just like the weight loss movies and werewolf killing movies in Su Yan's previous life, although many viewers came out of the cinema to complain about the plot, they hired a bunch of popular actors, spent 100 million to make a movie, of which 60 to 70 million was the actors' salaries, and then spent 300 to 400 million on publicity, and then found a good schedule, and the total box office could reach tens of billions. If the capital operation is done well, the box office results can far exceed the script's due ceiling.

Xia Country movie audiences are not so easy to fool, but on the whole, it is not much different, just a little better.

If these two movies want to achieve good results, Su Yan's fame is just one of the bonus points, and his own company must also be strong and have money to spend on publicity.

And coincidentally, Su Yan is now a relatively wealthy capitalist.

He will definitely be willing to invest in his own works.

"Also... the pre-broadcast date for Madoka Magica" has been set. It will be in April next year,", Ayami Shinozaki said.

"Yeah, I understand. What about Sakura TV?" Su Yan pondered for a moment after hearing this.

"As expected, Sakura TV's S-level fantasy drama 'Musou', which was produced in advance, also has news that it is planned to be broadcast in the same time slot."

Su Yan smiled.

"Akasaka Yoshitoki is putting the cart before the horse. He has to do it."

"As long as Madoka Magica continues to win the seasonal crown in April next year, Akasaka Yoshitoki will be 99% likely to be kicked out of the position of minister.", Ayami Shinozaki said.

"Speaking of which, it's exactly two years, right.", Su Yan said.

"Two years ago in April, the two of us left Sakura TV and founded this company."

"Madoka Magica will premiere in April next year... If Akasaka Yoshitoki loses power in the spring season in April next year, it will be a kind of retribution."

The movements of Dimensional Pictures are followed by a large group of people in Xia Country.

After Su Yan distributed the two scripts, regardless of the investment budget, there will be at least a preliminary plan for the casting of the roles in the script.

Major star brokerage companies in Xia Country will also receive various documents from Dimensional Pictures, requiring them to screen out some suitable actor information and send it over.

Everyone understands what it means for Dimensional Pictures to have such a movement.

Su Yan, is he going to release a new work again?

This information spread quickly in the industry.

Although Su Yan has been trying to promote Shen Liqian and Gu Qingyuan in the past two years.

But the benefits of being a supporting role in Su Yan's works are much better than being the protagonist or even the second lead in many B-level and A-level dramas.

Just like Junnosuke Satake and Kotone Yoshikawa, the actors who played Kenichi Mikami and the female third, Hisako Nagasaki, in Tokyo Love Story, before participating in Tokyo Love Story, their popularity and heat among second-tier stars were very average.

How many weeks has Tokyo Love Story been broadcast?

The discussion heat of these two people among Xia Country stars has already caught up with first-line stars.

Especially the actor who plays Kenichi Mikami.

You can admit that this character is scumbag, flirtatious, and a playboy.

But you have to admit that a real playboy is difficult to be hated by others.

He is handsome, has a high EQ, knows how to coax people, has a bottom line, is affectionate, but never promiscuous. He is sincere to every girl he dates, but his shortcoming is that he may be too emotionally rich and can like multiple girls at the same time.

Just like the classic character Duan Zhengchun in Su Yan's previous life's TV series, you can say that he is a scumbag, but you can never deny his character, he is sincere to every woman.

Strictly speaking, the popularity of Mikami's character is even higher than the male protagonist Nagao, played by Su Yan.

Now Su Yan seems to have a new work born.

Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, a large group of film and television stars in Xia Country are racking their brains to get into Su Yan's crew.

Ayami Shinozaki, the director and deputy director of the Tokyo Love Story crew, and even some middle-level personnel have been constantly contacted during this period. A large number of their friends in the industry are inquiring about this matter.

And in this process, the fifth episode of Tokyo Love Story was broadcast.

In the previous four episodes, Tokyo Love Story paired Mikami and Rimi, and Nagao and Rika.

This should be a stable structure.

But in the fourth episode...

The role of Hisako Nagasaki, an existence that disrupts stability, suddenly increased.

A large number of viewers have already noticed that something is wrong.

But in the fifth episode, the plot is no longer as sweet as before.

Mikami and Hisako Nagasaki are entangled, although Mikami is not prepared to cheat, but Hisako Nagasaki obviously has thoughts about Mikami, and how could Rimi, as a woman, not see this.

The audience has already understood Rimi's character before.

She likes Mikami, but Nagao is a backup.

Once she is wronged by Mikami, she will realize Nagao's goodness and will rely on Nagao.

And her behavior will destroy the relationship between Nagao and Rika.

In short, the fifth episode completely turned this steadily progressing double couple, four-person group into a five-way love.

And at the end of the fifth episode, Nagao concealed the fact that he met with Rimi, and lied to Rika that he was just going out because he had something to do. Rika cried and said to him.

【I'm really angry, Kanji, you only have one heart, not two! Where are you going to put your heart? Please, Kanji, use your sincerity to say you love me, you have to hold me tight, you can only have me in your eyes, otherwise】

【I will run away!】

In the fifth episode, Rika looked up, tears streaming down her face under the night sky, and the scene of her saying this broke the hearts of a group of Tokyo Love Story fans in Xia Country again.

As of now, the audience is definitely on Rika's side.

90% of the audience watching this drama now are here for Rika.

What about Rimi's feelings, who cares?

You come to find Nagao when you are frustrated in your feelings?

You come to destroy the relationship between other people's young couples when you are frustrated in your feelings?

What the hell?

Although she approaches Nagao as a friend and says that it is just a conversation between friends.

But this is too green tea.
