Depressive Screenwriter

July 14th, "I Want to Tell You" Season 2 premiered.

Many of Su Yan's fans simply didn't believe that he would actually create a pure love story. They all thought that Su Yan would reveal his true colors in the second episode.

After all, that's what happened with Madoka Magica. A group of people thought that the show was something Su Yan made to break into the children's market, but in the end...

Everyone knows the result.

However, the plot of the second episode of "I Want to Tell You" left these fans completely bewildered.

This episode's plot revolved around Sawako Kuronuma and Shota Kazehaya finding a dog in the rain, which brought them closer together.

And after the summer vacation, in their second year of high school, they were assigned to the same class again, and...

Because of Shota Kazehaya, she made several good friends in the class.

Ryu, Chizuru, Yano, and Shota Kazehaya.

When everyone in the class was afraid of her and didn't dare to approach her or sit next to her, these five people took the initiative to sit next to her and surround her.

The female lead, who was almost moved to tears by such a simple act, gained even more fans in this episode.

At the end of the episode, because of her friends, she gradually cleared up misunderstandings with her classmates, and a smile slowly appeared on her face. However, at the moment her smile bloomed, Shota Kazehaya blocked her smile, preventing others from seeing it.

"That smile just now, give it to me. Let me have it all to myself!"

The second episode ended with this incredibly sweet line and the rumors spreading around the school that Sawako Kuronuma was spreading false rumors about her friends Chizuru and Yano...

On the day of the broadcast, related trending topics immediately topped the charts on major video websites in Xia Country.

【Genius screenwriter Su Yan switches to pure love genre. Rumor has it that he changed his style because he is in a passionate relationship.】

【Premiering with two episodes, the ratings soared to 5.61%, making "I Want to Tell You" the pinnacle of campus romance dramas in Xia Country for the past decade!】

【Everyone in the Xia Country film and television industry suspects that Su Yan can only create depressing works and relies on manipulating people's tears to hype up his works' popularity. However, Su Yan used "I Want to Tell You" to tell the entire Xia Country... that he's not just capable of creating depressing works, he just likes them! A genius like him can handle any genre with ease.】

【Sakura TV bought the broadcasting rights for "I Want to Tell You" for 60 million! But judging from the ratings of "I Want to Tell You", the GG fee revenue alone might make Sakura TV's profit rate exceed 100%!】

【The most genius screenwriter in Xia Country's history. A male screenwriter, yet he wrote delicate emotions that even female screenwriters struggle to achieve.】

【Depressing screenwriter becomes a healing genius. Is Su Yan starting to transform?】

【The fans' expectations for a confession in the second episode and a marriage in the third episode didn't come true. It looks like the male and female leads of "I Want to Tell You" will confess in the third episode and get married in the fourth!】

【The purest campus romance. "I Want to Tell You" ignites the summer drama market!】

【Youth, romance, and the ultimate healing感动. Su Yan's new drama "I Want to Tell You" redefines the pure love genre!】

When Su Yan released those heart-wrenching and depressing dramas before, at least some of his old fans would complain and criticize him.

However, after two weeks of "I Want to Tell You" airing, the comments section and the media were filled with praise for the show.

Although the ratings increase wasn't as fast as when Fate/Zero premiered, the second episode still reached a rating of 5.6%, and the show's score even increased slightly, reaching an outrageous height of 9.8.

As expected, "I Want to Tell You" dominated the Xia Country drama market this season with an overwhelming advantage.

However, at Su Yan's current level, he wouldn't interfere too much with the release process of his works. Although he would occasionally take the time to cooperate with news media interviews to boost the popularity of his works, those were no longer the focus of his work.

For him now, the top priority was the movie "Your Name", which would be released on July 26th.

After all, he cared about this work.

And...

Although the company's account had spent a lot of money setting up a game department and purchasing shares in many Xia Country video websites, making him a small shareholder in Sakura and Raccoon video websites... even so, there was still a large amount of funds lying dormant in the company's account.

Coincidentally, a large amount of emotional value had accumulated in Su Yan's system space.

In the past, Su Yan needed to draw lottery because he didn't have enough emotional value, but now...

With sufficient emotional value, Su Yan's choice of works was very simple.

He purely looked at his own preferences.

Su Yan couldn't afford to exchange for works like Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece, whose IP value was hundreds of billions of dollars in his previous life.

Otherwise, Su Yan would definitely want to try the Netflix version of One Piece live-action drama from his previous life, which topped the charts in paid views in many countries around the world.

Especially Dragon Ball, One Piece, Attack on Titan, and Fullmetal Alchemist, which had proven in Su Yan's previous life that they were popular not only in the Confucian cultural circle but also in the Western cultural circle.

Su Yan was currently a top star in the Xia Country film and television industry.

However, he wasn't so famous in the Western cultural circle. The works he had released before might be acceptable to everyone in the Xia Country cultural circle, but Westerners might not understand them.

Therefore, the popularity of Su Yan's works overseas wasn't as great as in Xia Country.

He had always wanted to release some works to open up the market in overseas countries.

But unfortunately, he was short on cash, so he settled for second best and exchanged for another work he really liked, "Code Geass".

When Su Yan drew these works, the system would occasionally give him skills.

However, there was one thing the system would never do: give Su Yan skills with superpowers.

Originally, Su Yan didn't have any hope when he exchanged for Code Geass. What skills could the system give him for this work?

Geass?

Just kidding. If Su Yan really got the ability to command others with Geass, he would immediately sell Dimensional Film and Television and start formulating strategies to rule the world.

However, the system ultimately prompted Su Yan that after exchanging for Code Geass, Su Yan's intelligence had received a huge increase of [+1].

This left him speechless.

So the character Lelouch in the anime is very smart, and when I exchange for this work, the system also makes me a little smarter, right!

No more, no less, just one point!

Whatever, one point is better than nothing.

However...

Su Yan thought again.

If exchanging for this kind of high-intelligence, strategic works would increase his intelligence, then exchanging for works like Death Note, Akagi, and Kaiji in the future, adding one point of intelligence for each work, would be a pretty good accumulation.

Hmm, so that means Conan would also work?

Because he had successively exchanged for the Rurouni Kenshin movie part 2, Fate/stay night, and Code Geass.

The emotional value in Su Yan's system space was almost cleared again.

Looking at the exaggerated exchange prices for works like One Piece and Dragon Ball, Su Yan took a deep breath and exited the system space.

In a few years, he would eventually adapt these works into film and television in Xia Country.

He's only 26 years old now, there's no need to be so impatient.

Su Yan's behavior pattern was easy to guess.

Especially for Xiaozaki Ikumi, Gu Qingyuan, and Shen Liqian, who knew Su Yan very well.

As soon as they saw Su Yan staying in his office for hours every day, they understood.

"Is he writing a new script again?"

"That's outrageous! Didn't he just finish writing the Kenshin movie and Fate/stay night scripts?"

"I don't know, his inspiration is too scary. Others at most have a spring of inspiration, but his inspiration is like a geyser."

What Su Yan didn't know was that while he was writing the script, his friends in the company were discussing him outside his office.

At the same time, while Su Yan was busy with these things, Su Yan's Dimensional Film and Television's publicity funds for "Your Name" were being spent like water.

With less than two weeks until the movie's release, the offline and online publicity GG, and posters for "Your Name" were already posted everywhere in major cinemas.

All Xia Country movie fans were ready, waiting for July 26th to arrive.
