Depressive Screenwriter

At the end of April, the Imperial Capital Film Awards officially kicked off.

Su Yan, Shen Liqian, Yumi Shinozaki, along with the directors and nominated staff of "5 Centimeters Per Second" and "Hana Yori Dango", jointly participated.

The award ceremony was broadcast simultaneously online and on television. Although the entire film industry didn't believe that Su Yan's two films from last year would win any major awards,

Su Yan was still the person who received the most camera time from the on-site directors and photographers.

Wearing a white suit, with several beautiful and charming popular actresses sitting beside him, Su Yan looked handsome in the camera.

Although he didn't win the Best Screenplay award, and Shen Liqian also missed out on the Best Actress award, only winning the Best Newcomer Actress award,

the next day after the Imperial Capital Awards ceremony, the focus of Xia Guo's media, whether in the film or television industry, was all on Su Yan and Shen Liqian.

On the other hand, the nominated Best Actor and Actress, along with their promotion teams, awkwardly discovered that Xia Guo's film and television industry didn't really care about their eventual wins.

The traffic code of Xia Guo's film and television industry is Su Yan.

Especially after the overwhelmingly successful conclusion of "Rurouni Kenshin" and "Fate/Zero" in March,

Su Yan's popularity in Xia Guo's film and television circles is absolutely unmatched.

As April ended and May arrived,

now, a month after the finale of "Fate/Zero", Su Yan's massive fanbase in Xia Guo has once again entered a state of "drama drought."

Although the three major television stations' self-produced dramas this season are quite good, and the standards are much better than in previous years,

the plot imitations and borrowing from Su Yan's past works are too strong, but in the end, they are just imitations and haven't surpassed him.

His fans are starting to count down the days until July.

Of course, Su Yan's company wasn't completely silent in the past month.

For example, the project launch announcements for "Fate/stay night" and "Rurouni Kenshin" were officially released.

But the production cycle of at least half a year or even a year made Su Yan feel instantly disheartened.

We're already experiencing a drama drought now, and you're talking about a year later?

What the hell?

I don't even want to think about what to eat tonight, and you're announcing the production of works that will be released half a year or even a year later? Is there any difference between announcing it and not announcing it?

Underneath Su Yan's account and on the official website of Dimensional Pictures, a large number of fans are commenting almost every day, urging Su Yan to hurry up and release the debut trailers for "Kimi ni Todoke" and "Your Name."

The works are scheduled to premiere in July, and it's already May, yet you're still hiding the trailers. Is that reasonable?

Until now, apart from seeing the costume photos in the end credits preview information of the last episode of "Fate/Zero", the themes, backgrounds, and subject matter of these two works are completely unknown.

In late May, temperatures in most parts of Xia Guo have already started to become hot.

Su Yan changed into summer clothes, and from a distance, he looked like a handsome young man, completely unlike the chairman of a company that, although not listed, has a copyright valuation of several billion yuan, and even has several billion yuan sitting in the company's account.

Shen Liqian, Gu Qingyuan, Yumi Shinozaki, and other important employees and key personnel of the company also changed into cool summer dresses.

"Okay. That's about it. Tomorrow, let's release the trailer for the "Kimi ni Todoke" drama first, and then next week, release the promotional video for the "Your Name" movie."

As the chairman of the company, Su Yan basically doesn't need to think too much about decisions on these matters.

"Also, regarding the special effects production of "Fate/stay night", we can add money, but we hope that the partner company can come up with technology that surpasses "Fate/Zero". Staying in place is equivalent to regressing. The times are progressing. The quality of our produced sequel works must also improve."

"As for the launch ceremony for the second "Rurouni Kenshin" movie... let's set it for three days from now."

Su Yan rattled off a long list of things to his assistant, and the assistant, understanding everything, began to distribute tasks to the company's employees according to the requirements.

Alone in his office, Su Yan looked at the trailer video for "Kimi ni Todoke" that his subordinates had submitted.

After watching it repeatedly several times, a smile appeared on his face.

"This time, I want to see who dares to say that I, Su Yan, can only produce tragic works."

"Also, the feeling of chasing a true pure love work may not necessarily be easier to bear than a depressing work."

At three o'clock in the morning the next day,

Dimensional Pictures' official website and Sakura Network simultaneously launched a video.

At this time, most Xia Guo netizens are asleep.

But how many fans does Su Yan have?

Those few night owls just came to take a look as usual, and then they were stunned.

What did we find?

A "Kimi ni Todoke" trailer video?

Old Thief, you're really a cutie, uploading at this ungodly hour. Are you worried about us fans finding out?

With accelerated heartbeats and excited emotions, these first batch of fans clicked into the trailer video.

As soon as it opened, it was a pale face that appeared cold under a dark filter.

Su Yan's fans all knew the owner of that face, it was Gu Qingyuan, one of Su Yan's two designated heroines.

The cold white skin, coupled with the dim and oppressive background filter, and her eyes staring straight at the audience outside the screen.

That gorgeous face looked a bit妖异 and beautiful.

In May at night, the temperature is still very low, but it will basically not make people feel too uncomfortable.

But at this moment, seeing this trailer shot in the middle of the night, many fans felt a chill run straight from the tailbone to the crown of their heads.

What the hell is this?

At this moment, the background sound began to introduce.

[Sawako Kuronuma.]

The trailer popularized the concept of Sadako to the audience.

After all, Xia Guo doesn't have this movie, but it's not too bizarre to create this kind of setting in film and television dramas, and fans naturally accepted this setting.

A girl named Sawako Kuronuma is always feared by her classmates and the people around her because her temperament is too gloomy, and she is always regarded as someone who can attract resentful spirits.

Therefore, she is always alone, always without friends, until...

she met that boy. Her life, changed.

How can a girl who is obviously very beautiful and cute present her terror in a live-action drama?

The method is to make her beauty strange. The female ghosts in "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" are also very beautiful, but they look like they will make the audience shudder. That's the principle.

Fortunately, in this era, there are many talents and the technology meets the standards.

Although there are a lot of Gu Qingyuan's fans among Su Yan's fans, they were still taken aback by her Sawako Kuronuma look in this drama.

After the scary opening shot, the underworld filter disappeared immediately.

Next, Shouta Kazehaya, the only male god in this work played by Su Yan, appeared.

A hearty smile, a handsome face, and that white shirt uniform full of youthful spirit formed a clear contrast with the previous shot.

Cherry blossoms fell, under the three-way intersection, that handsome boy asked the gloomy girl for directions.

Scenes flashed.

In the shots, as long as the heroine appears alone, the shots are very scary, but as long as the boy appears, the scary atmosphere will seem comical.

The one-minute trailer didn't spoil too much information.

But the audience probably understood.

This is a youth campus love story about a misunderstood girl being saved by a cheerful boy?

This...

Why does it feel wrong!

Will Su Yan's works be so simple?

Is it possible that this Sawako Kuronuma in the drama can really communicate with spirits and has special psychic abilities.

And this drama only looks like a youth sweet drama in the trailer, but the actual content of the main film is a campus abusive fantasy drama full of horror and terror?

Yes, that's right, don't be deceived by the old thief Su Yan.

The magical girl campus played this set back then, and now "Kimi ni Todoke" is still playing this set?

The trailer is a youth campus sweet drama.

Then the content of the main film must be a dark, bloody, and grotesque drama.

At this moment, the clever IQ occupied the brains of these night owl fans of Su Yan, and they instantly became superior.

Old thief, still want to deceive us?
