Depressive Screenwriter

#74 - Foreshadowing and the Riddler

The third week of January.

The nomination list for this year's Xia Yan Awards was gradually announced by the organizing committee.

Those who attracted the most attention, such as the nominees for Best Screenplay and Best Director, were successively interviewed by news media reporters.

The producer of the TV series "The Light of Glass Color," which had the highest ratings of 4.89% in the winter season last year, made a statement that they would definitely win all the major awards, which was trending on major video websites for two consecutive days.

However, Su Yan, Kiyota Yamaji, Shinozaki Ikumi, Gu Qingyuan, Wu Xiandong and other young talents emerging in the TV drama industry also received a lot of attention.

Especially Su Yan.

For two consecutive days, he was found by reporters after the crew finished filming, asking him how he felt about being nominated for awards such as Best New Screenwriter, Best New Actor, and Best New TV Drama Soundtrack.

Then, he was also asked about his opinion on Kiyota Yamaji, his biggest opponent for the Best Screenwriter Award.

Su Yan might not have been interested in the former question the reporter asked him.

But since Kiyota Yamaji was mentioned, Su Yan got excited.

"A defeated general is not worth mentioning."

Although Su Yan usually behaves relatively mildly, he naturally seizes the opportunity to ruthlessly criticize enemies who initially harbored malicious intentions towards him.

What's more, Akasaka Yoshito's various actions to obstruct the project approval at the To the Moon production department meeting this quarter are still vivid in his mind. Su Yan attributed all these accounts to the uncle and nephew.

These simple eight words, after this interview video was broadcast by the media, also made it to the hot search list of major video websites in just a few days.

Especially Su Yan's fans, they rarely saw content about Su Yan's real-person interviews, and they couldn't imagine that Su Yan would be so disrespectful to his colleagues at the same TV station.

"Hey, is this the stance and personality of screenwriter Su Yan? It has a kind of arrogant handsomeness, but I like it so much."

"Isn't it rumored online that Kiyota Yamaji is the nephew of the vice minister of Sakura TV? Isn't he afraid of being targeted for being so disrespectful?"

"Is it possible that he has already been targeted? Otherwise, how could Gu Xiang Si Qu be broadcast in such a rubbish time slot last season?"

"It's inexplicably refreshing! If the online rumors about the grievances between Su Yan and Kiyota Yamaji are true, then Su Yan is really breathing a sigh of relief! He directly slapped his face in front of all his colleagues in Xia Country."

"A defeated general is not worth mentioning. I really laughed out loud. Teacher Su Yan is so talented."

"Although he is very arrogant, geniuses should be like this. All the worldly wisdom is bullshit, these weak people with bad intentions should be severely humiliated by the strong."

"But on the one hand, this is digging his own grave. If he is so disrespectful to his colleagues, who will be able to cooperate with him on Sakura TV in the future?"

"Don't think so much. Ordinary people study interpersonal relationships, geniuses only rely on themselves."

The online discussion about Su Yan's interview reached Kiyota Yamaji and Akasaka Yoshito's ears in less than a day.

Kiyota Yamaji spent an afternoon watching a group of people mocking him online, his face was red, and he stayed in the TV station without a new drama to broadcast this season, and always felt that all his colleagues were secretly laughing at him behind his back.

As for Akasaka Yoshito, his disgust for Su Yan was even greater.

However, he had a deeper mind and was more able to endure it.

As the popularity of the Xia Yan Awards ceremony in the Xia Country film and television industry became higher and higher, the ratings battle for the third week of the January winter season also began.

As in the previous week, the overall ratings of each work did not change much.

The second episodes of "The Door" and "Imperfect Divorce," which premiered on Friday, both rose slightly in ratings, reaching 4.09% and 3.91%.

And on Saturday, after the premiere of "The Scarlet Magician", it was the second episode of To the Moon.

In this episode, Takezawa Kayano, the white moonlight of a group of middle-aged drama fans when they were young, appeared.

This episode mainly tells the story of Cheng Li and Shen Yi, in order to explore Xu Han's past and find out his true motive for wanting to go to the moon, came to the time line before Xu Han's death, through the instrument to the time when Xu Han's wife Xiaoxi just died.

The beginning of this episode is that the elderly Xu Han is alone in front of the lighthouse at Xiaoxi's tombstone, talking to himself that he finally has time to follow her last wish to take care of "Anya".

But Xu Han's emotions became sad as he spoke.

His wife is dead, only the tombstone and the lighthouse accompany him.

Qiu Junlin's acting skills exploded again.

Obviously, for the audience, they don't even know who "Anya" is, and even "Xiaoxi" played by Takezawa Kayano has not appeared.

But the audience can know from his alone sacrificing Xiaoxi how deep his feelings for Xiaoxi are.

Time travels again

This time, the two doctors adjusted the memory line to before Xiaoxi's death.

Xiaoxi was lying weakly on the hospital bed, but until her life was about to pass away, Xiaoxi's eyes looking at Xu Han still contained many, many...

In front of her hospital bed, there were many, many paper rabbits.

The elderly Xiaoxi played by Takezawa Kayano made her debut.

Her conversation with her husband Ning before his death was unusually heavy.

Xu Han insisted on using all the savings of the two to treat Xiaoxi's illness.

However, Xiaoxi insisted that Xu Han use the money to build a wooden house in front of the lighthouse, so that Xu Han could accompany "Anya" after her death.

【Do you know what can make me happy? Xu Han】

Xiaoxi on the hospital bed stared at Xu Han with strange and deep eyes.

She had a lot to say...

But in the end, she didn't say it.

In the end, she just said one last sentence.

【I hope she is no longer alone.】

【What about you?】Xu Han asked with a sad expression.

【Xu Han, I made this.】

Xiaoxi took out a paper rabbit from under her pillow.

A yellow and blue paper rabbit.

She asked in an expectant voice.

【Tell me, what is it?】

【A rabbit, exactly the same as the other rabbits you made.】

【What else?】

【It's made of paper.】

【What else?】

【The body is yellow, and the other parts are green.】

【What else?】Xiaoxi's voice trembled a little, she was eager for Xu Han to say other answers.

But

【Let's not talk about these, Xiaoxi, I composed a piece of music for you, I'll play it for you on the piano.】

The end credits of To the Moon's second episode are exactly Xu Han playing "To Xiaoxi" for her in Xiaoxi's ward.

The sadness on his expression and the loss in Xiaoxi's eyes made the sad atmosphere of the second episode reach its peak under the sensational melody of this song.

The plot of this episode still did not reveal to the audience the reason why Xu Han wanted to go to the moon.

It can even be said that the whole episode is full of riddles.

However, the rivalry between Takezawa Kayano and Qiu Junlin really made the audience enjoy watching it, and with the excellent soundtrack, some viewers even watched with tears in their eyes.

This is how film and television dramas are.

If the plot is not interesting in a certain episode, look at the actors. If both the actors and the plot are not interesting, then they will start to complain.

What's more, the riddle-like plot of this episode and the acting skills of the two leading actors also attracted the interest of many people.
