Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 104 Touching and Achievements

"You see, it's already summer this year. From the current perspective, among the TV series aired in winter, spring, and summer, there is no female character that makes me feel can be compared with Miyazono Kaoru. If the TV series aired in the autumn season in October are also of this level, I think you will have a good chance of winning this award by January next year." Su Yan said softly.

"Eh? Xia Xiayan Award for Best Actress." Shen Liqian stuttered a little.

"Normally speaking, this kind of award requires a work to have won the quarterly ratings championship to be nominated. April is only ranked fourth in the ratings right now. Teacher Su Yan, are you already thinking about that?"

Shen Liqian looked puzzled.

Su Yan looked at Shen Liqian's expression and felt it was somewhat familiar.

Ah, isn’t this the same expression he had when he was playing games and heard a famous jungler say “I’m already studying xxx’s opponent!”?
But he's not popping the champagne early.

He is watching all the A-rated dramas in the summer season, but from his perspective.
It’s definitely not as good as April.

And the fan ratings of several dramas also illustrate this point.

If it hadn't been held back by the fact that it was first aired on Qingkong TV in April, Xia Feng Hua might not have been the drama with the highest ratings this season.

But now, April’s popularity and reputation have also risen, and Su Yan is very familiar with the next part.

He has been through this in three previous dramas.

Moreover, among so many works, Su Yan has the strongest confidence in April.

After all, it is a masterpiece that has been tested in multiple markets in the previous life.

"Well, the ratings will top in April. It will also be nominated." Su Yan said seriously.

"You and Miyazono Kaori will become the most popular actors and TV characters in the TV industry this season, and maybe even this year."

Su Yan's unprovoked remarks made Shen Liqian, who was a stickler for arguments, want to refute him.

But thinking of Su Yan's past achievements, most of those doubts disappeared.
After so much time has passed, those who questioned Su Yan have actually been slapped in the face.

"It would be great if it were really like what Teacher Su Yan said." A glimmer of longing appeared in Shen Liqian's eyes.

"I've been in this industry for five years, and I've never been nominated for the Best Actress Award at the Xia Yan Awards."

"Then you have to be prepared." Su Yan said with a smile.

"Think of yourself as Miyazono Kaori, read the script carefully, and contribute your acting skills to the last few episodes of this drama that you will never be able to surpass in your lifetime."

"I will write the character of Miyazono Kaori to death. But I hope you can work hard to play the role of Miyazono Kaori to the best of your ability, and let her live in the hearts of every audience member in the end."

Shen Liqian's expression was somewhat moved.

"Teacher Su Yan, do you have such high expectations of me?"

"Of course." Su Yan knew that he had to encourage her at this time.

No matter how young she became famous, Shen Liqian is just a 20-year-old girl. Her acting skills are very good, but it is obvious that there is still room for improvement.

She does things based on her interest.

If it’s something that interests you, you can study it all night long, but if it’s something that doesn’t interest you, you don’t want to think about it for even one second longer.

"I understand. From today on, I will go back and read the script every day to understand the inner world of the character of Miyazono Kaoru. Except for eating and sleeping, I will pretend that no, I am Miyazono Kaoru," Shen Liqian said with shining eyes.

Su Yan smiled and nodded, feeling in his heart that Shen Liqian was still naive.

Only simple people would be delighted by such words of encouragement that have no practical meaning.

What a big deal about being nominated for the Best Actress Award at the Xia Yan Awards, although Su Yan did think so.

But apart from Shen Liqian, it is hard to imagine that a senior actor who has been in the industry for five years would really believe in its possibility so easily.

Su Yan used the big data of April's achievements and praise in her previous life to conclude that April would become very popular. What does Shen Liqian have?

There were only a few groundless words from Su Yan.

But it's normal. She openly cursed Akasaka Yoshitoki and his group who made her unhappy at a press conference, which is enough to illustrate her character.

In early November, the fifth episode of Your Lie in April aired.

The plot of this episode takes place during a concert competition, the protagonist Kousei Arima's memories, and the perspectives of a group of supporting characters.

Before this episode, everyone thought that the protagonist, Kousei Arima, hated the piano because he was traumatized by the hellish training his mother underwent before her death.

But there is another reason besides this.
Before his mother's death, Kousei Arima rebelled.

Because he hated piano training so much, he angrily threw the music score to the ground, but was hit hard on the head by his mother's cane, causing a bleeding head.

[I just want to make my mother happy.]

The boy, who had already collapsed, lowered his head and cried.

[I just want to cheer up my mother, but]

On the verge of collapse, Kousei Arima's body was covered with bruises from his mother's beatings during his childhood.

On his head, there was blood flowing from the beating his mother had just received.
He looked up.

【People like you, go to hell.】

At this moment, while Kousei Arima was playing in a competition in the concert hall, this memory rang in his mind and the sound of his piano became completely messed up.

The mother was sitting in a wheelchair, looking at him with weakness and surprise, an expression that the audience who watched this episode that night could feel.

The mother's heart was completely broken by her son's words.

These were the last words Kousei Arima said to his mother.

After that, his mother's condition took a turn for the worse, and Arima Kousei was filled with guilt because he could never forget the excessive words he said to his mother in anger.
From that day on

I could no longer play the piano.

The first half of this episode was so depressing to the audience.

I thought that the male protagonist who came on stage after the performance of Aiza Samurai and Igawa Emi in the fourth episode would kill everyone.

But in the end, I remembered the last words I said to my mother.
The hero could no longer hear the piano music played by his fingers.

The piano sounded wailing. In the stands, there was encouragement and tension in Miyazono Kaoru's eyes.

The disappointed looks of Arima Kousei's two rivals.
The camera keeps switching.

Then, Kousei Arima stopped playing again.

He raised his head and looked at the lights in the sky.

Fallen into confusion.

He thought of Miyazono Kaori.

Then, he turned his head and looked at Miyazono Kaoru who was watching him on the stage.

She didn't say a word.

But he understood what she was trying to say.

Neither the ranking nor the competition is important.

The important thing is to find your own reason for playing the piano.

【I want to play for you! 】

When this monologue in Arima Kousei's heart sounded.

The plot of the fifth episode turns from the sadness of the first half to joy.

Arima Kousei plays again
The audience of the April TV series in Xiaguo seemed to have really heard that gentle performance in that concert competition.

He no longer thought about the painful memories between him and his mother in his childhood.

He was just thinking about the encouragement that Miyazono Kaoru gave him after she came to him, and every little moment that they spent together.

[As for me, it is enough for one person to remember me. It is enough for you to remember me! The girl who fell in love with my friend Watari Ryota]

When the piano music that Arima Kousei played only for Miyazono Kaoru ended.

When he bowed in thanks.
His eyes were only on Miyazono Kaoru in the audience.

Touched or some other emotion.

The audience in front of the TV in Xia Country had no time to think about it.

After watching this episode, I just felt warm inside.

In this episode, the music part and the love part of the plot go hand in hand.

The two are completely blended together.

The audience who watched the fifth episode from the beginning to the end felt Kousei Arima's struggle and fear from his panicked piano music at the very beginning.

In the end, many viewers felt like they were experiencing a love affair as they listened to the changing rhythm of the piano music in the play.

In the end, these countless emotions turned into touching moments.

After the fifth episode was aired in April, the audience rating increased from 9.4 to 9.5.

As for the comment section of Raccoon.com, the number of real-time comments increased by twice as much as last week.

"This episode is about a confession, right? It's Kousei Arima confessing his love to Kaoru Miyazono!"

"The first half of the show was so depressing to me. The second half was so sweet to me."

"The old thief Su Yan really knows how to trick people into tears!"

"The inner thoughts of the characters in this drama are so immersive that I cried."

"Miyazono Kaori is really a good healer! Her smile and her words are so healing. The only thing that makes Arima Kousei forget the shadow of his childhood is the sunshine shining on him at this moment."

"I declare that these two people should get married right here on the spot!"

"But Kaoru Miyazono likes Ryota Watari, Kousei Arima's good friend, right? What should we do?"

"? But why do I always feel that Miyazono Kaoru likes Arima Kousei?"

"You're just misinformed, right? The reason why Miyazono Kaori cares about Arima Kousei is because he was once the idol of all the musicians of his age, and they don't want to see him degenerate."

"So, it's Arima Kousei's unrequited love?"

“It’s not clear, it’s not clear!”

"This plot setting of Su Yan, old thief, is really uncomfortable. Why did he bring up the character of Watari Ryota? Wouldn't it be better to just let the two of them fall in love?"

"Do you think that Su Yan Lao Zei's drama will not really let Miyazono Kaori and Watari Ryota be together as a sadistic point, creating another sense of be aesthetics?"

"I don't care. If Miyazono Kaoru wasn't with Arima Kousei, I would rush straight to the old thief Su Yan's house and force him to change the script!"

"I'm going to arrange for everyone I know to watch this drama. It's the most touching drama I've seen this year. The music in the fifth episode really made me cry."

"I don't care what other people think of this drama. After the fifth episode, it is a great drama in my heart."

All night long, April fans chattered on the Internet about their excitement for the fifth episode.

noon the next day.

The ratings for the fifth episode were announced in April.

4.33%
In the fifth week of the summer season, April's fifth episode had a 4.32% viewership rating, surpassing Hope's fifth episode's 4.29%.

The ratings ranking moved up further to third.

This week, Xia Fenghua is no longer the absolute protagonist of the entire Xia country's television industry.

It still ranks first in ratings this week.

The most discussed topic among the media and audiences has completely become the drama April.
