“So what exactly does the rabbit mean?”

“Is there any difference between the yellow and blue rabbit and other paper rabbits?”

“The name of this drama is To the Moon, and the main story is exploring why the male and female protagonists want to go to the moon. Before Xiaoxi died, she was most concerned about whether Xu Han could take care of Anya and asked Xu Han what he saw from the paper rabbit. From this point of view, the paper rabbit may be the answer.”

“It really is a very peculiar drama. It's already the second episode, and I'm still completely clueless about how the plot will develop, but there's no way, I can keep watching as long as there's Takezawa Kayono.”

“Actually, it's inexplicably touching. When Xiaoxi asked Xu Han what the rabbit represented, the expectation in her eyes, and the sadness when Xu Han finally answered that it was just a rabbit... The real meaning of this rabbit must be very important to Xiaoxi, right?”

“Actually, I feel that the story structure of this work is similar to Ancient Love Song! Ancient Love Song travels back in time against the timeline, while To the Moon travels through an instrument in Xu Han's memory world to his younger years, even his childhood, to find out what the real inner desire to go to the moon is.”

“What else? To be honest, if I hadn't just finished Ancient Love Song and had confidence in Su Yan, the old thief's ability to control the script, I definitely wouldn't have been able to persist in watching the first two episodes of To the Moon with this kind of cryptic plot every week.”

“Yes, I also felt the similarity in the structure of To the Moon and Ancient Love Song, which is why I was able to keep watching. But actually, it looks surprisingly good. Although the plot is still half-understood, the performances of Qiu Junlin and Takezawa Kayono really made me engrossed.”

“So the script is the soul of a work, but the director and actors are the flesh and blood of a work! An interesting soul must be matched with a beautiful appearance to be perfect. It's hard to persist with an interesting soul paired with a pig-like appearance. Su Yan, the old thief, really hired the right two actors.”

“But no matter what, no matter how good Qiu Junlin and his wife's acting skills are, they can only help To the Moon hold up the ratings for the first few weeks, right? If this kind of cryptic plot continues, I estimate many viewers will lose patience.”

“That's true.”

“Slow burn also has to have a limit, it can't be too much.”

The next day, the ratings for the second episode of To the Moon were released.

3.41%, not much change compared to last week, the ranking is still eighth.

But a group of news media in Xia Guo couldn't hold back.

Last week, they saw that the opening results of the first episode of To the Moon were okay, and since it was just the first episode, they couldn't see anything special, so these media didn't comment randomly.

But it's the second week, and To the Moon is still this kind of plot rhythm.

The plots of other dramas that premiered at the same time are mediocre, clichéd, but stable.

Only you, To the Moon, are so innovative, and you're still being cryptic in the second episode.

Then don't blame us.

After all, who asked you, Su Yan, to be such a conspicuous genius new screenwriter in the market now?

Who asked you to be so high-profile when commenting on Kiyota Sanji a few days ago?

Moreover, the drama starring Qiu Junlin and Takezawa Kayono, two top stars of the previous generation, is destined to receive attention from older audiences. As long as the two are mentioned in the drama review articles, the traffic and popularity will definitely be full.

On Sunday during the day, major media outlets and drama critics began to criticize To the Moon in unison.

【To the Moon's plot has been chaotic for two weeks since its premiere. I don't know what story the screenwriter is planning to tell?】

【On the surface, To the Moon's ratings can still maintain the eighth position of the season, but in reality, these ratings are all supported by the two stars, Qiu Junlin and Takezawa Kayono, but how long can this situation last?】

【Genius screenwriter Su Yan's inspiration is gone, and the new drama's ratings are all supported by old fans.】

【Two weeks after its premiere, To the Moon tells a nonsensical story, and the entire process is cryptic, making people confused.】

【It is foreseeable that when the audience's freshness for the two old movie stars, Qiu Junlin and Takezawa Kayono, fades, To the Moon's ratings may usher in a huge decline.】

【The most boring drama of the winter season! Screenwriter Su Yan, please polish the script more carefully, instead of consuming the audience with boring old movie star sentiments!】

【From the first two episodes of To the Moon, it can be seen that Su Yan's success with Ancient Love Song and Rurouni Kenshin was purely luck. This drama may become the first tragedy in Xia Guo this year, and the scolding it receives after its completion will definitely exceed Ikumi Shinozaki's Sakurajima Elegy!】

【Qiu Junlin and Takezawa Kayono's husband and wife's reputation is not guaranteed, and their new work after fifteen years will become a joke of the winter season!】

The news media and film critics exaggerated as much as possible when writing articles.

The real audience of To the Moon still has patience, but these media have already started.

Although Ikumi Shinozaki believed in Su Yan's script, she couldn't help but feel anxious when she saw this situation.

After all, many excellent dramas have unsatisfactory results due to media misdirection and rhythm.

“These media don't even want their faces for traffic. The first two episodes of To the Moon are just a slow burn, not like what they said.” Ikumi Shinozaki closed her laptop, simply no longer looking at online comments.

Su Yan took out the file from the USB drive inserted into the crew's computer, and then started printing.

“Don't worry about how the media comments, or rather, their current remarks are, in a sense, also helping To the Moon to promote.”

While speaking, Su Yan handed a stack of newly printed documents to Ikumi Shinozaki.

“Here, for you, right on time.”

“This is the script for the seventh episode?” Ikumi Shinozaki asked curiously, taking the file with both hands.

“Yes, this episode's script is very important, you need to allocate a little more budget to this episode. The real turning point of To the Moon is in the seventh episode. But in fact, from the fourth and fifth episodes, the plot slowly begins to be sentimental and touching...” Su Yan sat down.

“The most difficult stage is actually the first three episodes, because the plot is indeed too flat, and it keeps digging holes without filling them, but we are very lucky, we got through this period relying on the popularity and heat of the two veteran stars, Qiu Junlin and Takezawa Kayono...”

Su Yan was talking beside her, wanting to appease Ikumi Shinozaki, but when he looked up.

He saw that Ikumi Shinozaki had already focused all her attention on the script of the seventh episode of To the Moon, completely not listening to what he was saying.

Su Yan smiled softly and didn't disturb her, but instead observed Ikumi Shinozaki with great interest.

Time passed by minute by minute. At first, Ikumi Shinozaki didn't care, thinking that Su Yan was going to dig holes again in this episode's script.

In the seventh episode's script, the two doctors, Cheng Li and Shen Yi, finally explored Xu Han's memory to the other side of that terrifying childhood fault line.

Before Xu Han's tragic childhood came.

Xiaoxi and him, actually knew each other long ago.

Ikumi Shinozaki's eyes widened.
