Depressive Screenwriter

#83 - Unstoppable

Time came to Saturday again.

The heat of "To the Moon" has spread throughout the film and television market this week. A large number of drama-starved viewers who were interested paid to catch up on Sakura.com, preparing to join the drama-watching army tonight.

[Writing this, I hope readers remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network →𝓽𝔀𝓴π“ͺ𝓷.𝓬𝓸𝓢]

Night fell.

Tonight's Internet is no longer like the past few weeks, where the discussion areas of major online video platforms were all discussing the plot of "Blood Magician".

On the contrary, the amount of discussion about "To the Moon" is not much worse than "Blood Magician".

People are strange.

"To the Moon" told the audience from the beginning.

This drama is definitely not a happy ending, because Xiao Xi is already dead.

Xu Han is also on the verge of death.

The most satisfactory ending of this drama is that Xu Han really landed on the moon in a false dream.

However, the moon is just a barren land.

No rabbits, no Xiao Xi.

But the audience still expects a turnaround in this drama.

I hope that the screenwriter can use their unimaginable ways to reverse this drama from a tragedy to a happy and satisfactory ending.

Even Deus ex machina!

In fact, this is also understandable. Although Deus ex machina is not good for the senses, it is definitely one in the sky and one on the ground compared to the fate of the popular character's death.

Just like Nagisa Furukawa's resurrection in Clannad in Su Yan's previous life, which fan would question the screenwriter's Deus ex machina plot to resurrect Nagisa Furukawa as unreasonable.

Basically, they are all praising the screenwriter.

However, the plot after the broadcast of the eighth episode completely and ruthlessly shattered their illusions, and unfolded the subsequent plot in the most cruel way.

The key supporting characters Cheng Li and Shen Yi in this drama finally understood why no matter how they implanted the idea of ​​letting Xu Han go to the moon through the instrument in his childhood, his memory world would not change.

The reason is simple.

He doesn't want to go to the moon.

But want to go to the moon to find Xiao Xi.

The idea of ​​going to the moon will only take effect after Xiao Xi's death.

So no matter what the two do, Xu Han's memory will not change before Xiao Xi's death.

Because in his life, as long as Xiao Xi is not dead, he will not go to the moon, and the two will not be able to complete the goal of this mission.

Here, Shen Yi and Cheng Li had a disagreement.

Since Xu Han is because of Xiao Xi.

No matter how you instill in him the ambition to become an astronaut since he was a child, go to the moon when he grows up, and then the purpose of memory reorganization cannot be achieved.

Then you only need to remove the obstacle Xiao Xi.

The instruments used by the two can really tamper with other people's memories.

Once the two erase Xu Han's childhood memories about Xiao Xi, Xu Han's subsequent memories will also have a chain reaction, and under the joint action of the machine and Xu Han's own brain, create new life memories.

He will not meet Xiao Xi, will not marry her under the lighthouse, and will not stay with her for the rest of his life.

Xiao Xi will be completely erased from his life.

And he will work hard to study from elementary school in the idea of ​​[going to the moon] instilled in him by Shen Yi, and finally become an astronaut and realize his final dream.

But

What is the point of going to the moon like this?

The reason why Xu Han wants to go to the moon is to see Xiao Xi.

And if the two erase Xiao Xi's existence from Xu Han's life, then what is Xu Han going to do on the moon?

[Unfortunately, the requirements of our job and the contract he signed are to let him go to the moon!]

Shen Yi said to her companion Cheng Li, who wanted to stop her, with a calm expression.

Even if the two of them know that Xu Han's real underlying desire is to go to the moon to find Xiao Xi, this is not the content of the legal contract.

She preemptively used the memory instrument's permission function to restrict her companion Cheng Li's obstruction action, and took the first step to start the memory machine.

And entered the command to erase the memory of Xu Han meeting Xiao Xi that night in his childhood.

Next, the most tearful scene for the audience to go to the moon appeared.

In Xu Han's life, all his experiences with Xiao Xi lost the support of the source because the memory of that night's encounter disappeared.

In the TV series screen

In middle school, Xu Han and Xiao He did not go to see that movie.

The two passed by at the entrance of the cinema, not knowing each other.

At school, he didn't have the courage to talk to Xiao Xi.

He didn't ride horses and walk on the grassland with her to treat Xiao Xi's illness.

He didn't put that ring on Xiao Xi under the moon.

In the reconstructed memory, Xu Han is lonely.

But when the teacher asked him about his future dreams in class.

He finally answered.

[I want to be an astronaut, I want to go to the moon!]

But this time, the [go to the moon] in his memory is physically going to the moon!

His dream is just to go to the moon.

It has nothing to do with Xiao Xi

The plot of the eighth episode ends here.

It ended when Xu Han graduated from middle school and passed by Xiao Xi, the top student girl from the same school, in the corridor.

In the reconstructed world, he didn't even say a word to that girl until graduation

Did not cast a glance at the other party.

The audience watching the plot collectively shed tears at this moment.

Shen Yi succeeded.

She re-implanted Xu Han's most fundamental desire, and through the reconstruction of the machine and Xu Han's own brain, Xu Han had a brand new memory and life.

As long as the machine continues to operate, in Xu Han's mind, his decades of new life will be reconstructed in a very short period of time, and finally reach the end point of going to the moon.

And Xu Han's real memory, the memories of living with Xiao Xi for decades, will be covered and deleted by the new memory, and forgotten completely.

When the broadcast of the eighth episode ended, those viewers who still wanted to see the healing plot burst into tears that night.

What are they expecting?

The screenwriter of this drama is that Su Yan!

On this day, the "To the Moon" and comment area fell again.

"Go to hell, Su Yan, you are not only bad, but also have no conscience. How could Gu Qingyuan's Shen Yi be such a ruthless woman? You are just afraid of being scolded, so you don't dare to let Cheng Li, played by you, do the bad thing of deleting Xiao Xi's memory."

"Oh my god, I really don't know how I came back to my senses. The scene where Xiao Xi and Xu Han didn't say a word at middle school graduation and then passed by and left in the last episode of the eighth episode was too abusive. I'm typing and crying now."

"The seventh episode is already cruel enough. How can the eighth episode do this? Shen Yi clearly knows that Xu Han's dream is to see Xiao Xi, but she directly deleted Xiao Xi from his life?"

"I'm really broken, Su Yan, why don't you even want to be a human being once? What's the point of creating this kind of plot for you? Does it make us so uncomfortable that you can earn an extra penny?"

"There are two more episodes to finish this drama, brothers, is it possible that there will be a turnaround in the last two episodes!"

"What turnaround! Xiao Xi's memory of existence has been deleted, how can there be a turnaround?"

"But it's impossible for the plot to end so smoothly. If Xu Han forgets Xiao Xi like this and then goes to the moon, then such a plot can never be filmed in two episodes."

"Yes, that's right, what if the memory is deleted? Will Xu Han's love for Xiao Xi disappear because of the memory change? I think there will definitely be a turnaround in the last two episodes."

"But, no matter whether that turnaround really exists or not, what's the point? The real Xiao Xi is already dead. She is already dead. She wanted to let Xu Han know who she was all her life, but she didn't do it until she died!"

"Don't say it, I'm going to cry again if you say it again."

"For the third time, this producer, Ayumi Shinozaki, doesn't she review the script at all? Why can this kind of script be approved! She is also a bad woman!"

"Su Yan, I don't know if you can sleep tonight, but I can't sleep anyway!"

Su Yan, who was sleeping soundly in the rental house, didn't realize immediately that his emotional value had increased a lot tonight.

There are still two weeks before the finale of "To the Moon".

He is dreaming in his sleep that after leaving Sakura TV, he can film whatever he wants, and spread the depressing emotions he felt in his previous life all over the hearts of Xia Guo drama fans.

The next morning, Su Yan got up, browsed the comments about "To the Moon" on the Internet with his mobile phone, and then immediately exited the comment area.

Sure enough, he was sprayed again, just don't read it, so as not to feel bad.

"It is said that things don't happen more than three times, my drama fans should get used to it."

Su Yan looked a little embarrassed, and put on a mask before going out, otherwise he was really afraid that an angry drama fan would surround him.

In his previous life, the island country's scriptwriter Gen Urobuchi was labeled as a warrior of love by fans after the broadcast of Madoka Magica.

Su Yan felt that after "To the Moon", he should also bring a similar impression to fans.

"Well, but it's hard to say, after all, the system lottery, anything is possible. What if I draw a funny work like "Daily Lives of High School Boys"?" Su Yan chuckled.

Although he doesn't know much about that kind of work, the probability of drawing it is not zero after all.

When he came to the crew, the entire crew was a little absent-minded early in the morning.

The commotion of the drama fans and fans of "To the Moon" last night was even greater than last week.

If there are no surprises, this week's ratings will also rise.

Last week's ratings were fifth in the quarter.

If this week's ratings rise again, is it possible.

The ratings of "To the Moon" even have the opportunity to squeeze down one of the four A-level dramas?

Time soon approached noon.

"Cut! Pass." In the studio, Shi Peihua's voice sounded.

With Xiao Xi walking into the Space Agency Center, the scene of the first meeting with Xu Han was completed.

The two actors who played young Xu Han and Xiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

After filming more than twenty times, this paragraph finally passed.

Just as everyone was preparing to disperse for lunch.

Ayumi Shinozaki and some senior employees of the crew received information from the TV station.

"The ratings of the eighth episode of 'To the Moon' is 3.96%," Ayumi Shinozaki read softly.

She looked up at Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan.

In this week.

The ratings of "Blood Magician" is 4.15%, ranking first.

The ratings of "The Door" is 4.01%, ranking second.

The ratings of "Imperfect Divorce" is 3.95%, temporarily ranking third before the broadcast of the eighth episode of "To the Moon".

But in the previous week, the fourth-ranked "Cyan Summer" had only 3.89%.

The score of the eighth episode of "To the Moon" has been determined to exceed "Imperfect Divorce" this week.

But if the ratings of "Cyan Summer" broadcast tonight are also lower than "To the Moon".

Then "To the Moon" is not just the ratings exceeding a certain A-level drama in this quarter.

But squeezed into the top three in the quarter.

And directly challenged "The Door", the second-highest-rated drama of this quarter, the best performance of Sakura TV this quarter, and the drama produced by Akasaka Yoshiji's proud producer.
