Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 120 Shooting and Autumn

After Shinozaki Ikumi said this, Su Yan was somewhat moved.

Even though a drama can easily cost tens of millions to invest, if all the actors are first-line movie stars, then I'm afraid more than half of the cost will be spent on their salaries.

Su Yan received no pay for starring in his own drama, and Gu Qingyuan received even lower pay. As for Shen Liqian, she had made it clear that if Su Yan approached her for a new drama, she could still accept half the market pay like she did in April.

Just consider it as a thank you gift to Su Yan Siyue for saving her career with this drama.

Of course, this is just a superficial statement. The actual idea is to hold on to Su Yan's thigh.

Compared to becoming famous, pay is not important!

"But won't the audience get tired of it?" Although Su Yan thought it made sense, he still felt it was a little outrageous.

"Aesthetic fatigue?" Shinozaki Ikumi laughed.

"Do you know how many fans in Xia Country are looking forward to your continued cooperation with Gu Qingyuan and Shen Liqian?"

"The character filters left by your previous works on your fans are very strong!"

"And Gu Qingyuan is also preparing to join our company and become a contracted actress." Shinozaki Ikumi said at this time.

"If there is any important role in your play that needs to be played by someone, whether from the perspective of our friendship with Gu Qingyuan or from the perspective of interests, we must support Gu Qingyuan."

Su Yan fell silent after hearing this.

Half a month ago, Gu Qingyuan took the initiative to propose to join "Dimension Film and Television" and signed a contract with Su Yansi.

Of course, Su Yan and Xiaozaki Yumi knew her thoughts very well. Su Yan is now a big shot in Xiaguo's film and television industry. She became famous by filming Su Yan's dramas. It is normal for her to make such a choice.

They had been through thick and thin together, from being unknown individuals in the film and television industry to being companions today. Now that the company was doing well, the two of them would not abandon Gu Qingyuan aside.

"I understand." Su Yan thought about it.

I thought about my experience working with these two people.

There is no problem with either of them in terms of acting skills, ability, or attitude.

Su Yan didn't worry too much.

Otherwise, if you really want to be serious, both Borderland Walker and Life is Strange should be played by foreigners.

"Just do as you say."

After Shinozaki Ikumi and Su Yan reached an agreement, the next step was a busy audition.

Although Life is Strange is an island game, the original setting is actually a Western country.

This can be seen from the names of the two heroines, "Max" and "Chloe".

However, since it is being filmed as a Xiaguo TV series, some things still need to be changed.

Cyberpunk is a future world, so it doesn’t matter if the character names are a bit Westernized. After all, there is no concept of country or nationality in the background world, so names are nothing.

But modern dramas like Life is Strange certainly can’t be so casual.

Under Su Yan's arrangement, the two heroines changed their names to Xiaomai and Xiaoyi.

Xia Country also has an area similar to Hong Kong Island in Su Yan’s previous life, which was also extremely chaotic decades ago.

Move the background to those areas and time points, and then the gun elements in the plot can appear reasonably.

Shen Liqian, who had been waiting for news about Su Yan's new work, also became excited after receiving invitations from Shinozaki Ikumi to participate in the two dramas "Cyberpunk Edgewalker" and "Life is Strange".

That is, she is not the heroine in either drama, which makes her a little hesitant
But Su Yan negotiated with her face to face, and made it clear that in his opinion, the brilliant performance of these two characters in the script and their influence after the broadcast were definitely not inferior to the heroine.
She also felt relieved.

After all, judging from the character settings in the scripts, she is indeed not suitable to be the heroine of either drama.

Maybe these two dramas were written by Su Yan specifically for Gu Qingyuan.

Let's put aside these speculations.

Xiaomai, one of the two female protagonists in an A-level drama.

Rebecca, the second female lead in an S-rated drama.

It is not an insult to her to play these roles.

As for Su Yan and Shinozaki Yumi, they strongly support Gu Qingyuan
This has to be acceptable.

Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan, who have starred in four dramas in a row, are definitely more close than me, who I have only known for half a year.

But even so, Su Yan still found himself in two new dramas.

This is a test.
As long as she performs well in these two works, she will definitely be the heroine of Su Yan's new drama.

After Shen Liqian figured this out, her expression was full of confidence.

late October.

Su Yan’s “Dimension Film and Television Company” officially issued an announcement.

The company's A-rated drama "Life is Strange" will be broadcast on Blue Sky TV at 8 p.m. on Sunday, January 5.

The company's S-rated drama "Cyberpunk Edgewalker" will be broadcast on China Television at 8 pm on Sunday, April 6th.

The company is also producing a youth-themed film, The Garden of Words.

In these three dramas, the names of Su Yan, Shen Liqian and Gu Qingyuan frequently appear in the work announcements.

Three stones stir up a thousand waves.

The heat of Your Lie in April is still lingering.

Su Yan already has three new works that have been approved for filming?
And the leading actors of these three dramas.
Gu Qingyuan, Su Yan, Shen Liqian.

Isn’t this just permutations and combinations?
It's all these three people.
All familiar faces.

However, no one felt bored at all, but became excited instead.

The Su Gu CP fans and Su Shen CP fans in Su Yan’s fan group started arguing.

Among all the dramas Su Yan has filmed so far, April has the best performance.

Naturally, there are a lot of people in the fan group who are hyping up the CP of Su Yan and Shen Liqian.

But Kenshin and Tomoe Yukishiro, Shen Buyan and Lu Yuan, the fans of the two doctors in Going to the Moon united together and that should not be underestimated.

The two sides fought evenly. But after the quarrel, everyone had to think about the most critical issue.

Edge of Tomorrow wasn’t aired until half a year later, so most viewers knew very little about it and had no desire to discuss it.

But Life is Strange is different. It will be aired in two months.

And fans also noticed many strange things in this drama.

"Why is it that in the official information of Life is Strange, there are only two female protagonists, Xiaomai and Xiaoyi? There is no information about the participation of Su Yan, the old thief."

"? Doesn't this drama involve any love elements?"

"That's not right! All of Su Yan's works have romance elements. This is too weird."

"Life is Strange. This name is a bit subtle. Is it a fantasy drama?"

"Miyazono Kaoru vs. Yukishiro Tomoe?"

"Isn't Life is Strange supposed to be a love triangle show? Why isn't there the old thief Su Yan?"

"I want to watch a romance! I don't want to watch a movie with two heroines. What's so good about a movie with two heroines?"

"That's right! Choosing two such beautiful women as the heroines but not having a romance plot, isn't that a waste of talent?"

"In April's drama, even in the second ending, Miyazono Kaoru and Arima Kousei didn't kiss once. I'm looking forward to the two of them kissing again!"

"It seems that this idea is not very realistic for the TV series Life is Strange. But Edgewalker, which will be aired in April next year, seems very likely."

"In the actor information sheet of Edgewalker, Lucy played by Gu Qingyuan is the female lead, and Rebecca played by Shen Liqian is the second female lead! What's the possibility?"

"Don't be anxious. If you think about it carefully, the second female lead is indeed not a good position. But if you think about the first ending of Su Yan Lao Zei's drama April, the second female lead Sawabe Tsubaki was the one who stayed with Arima Kousei in the end. According to normal development, after Miyazono Kaoru died, Sawabe Tsubaki and Arima Kousei would be together as childhood sweethearts. Maybe, in the drama Edgewalker, the female lead dies, and the second female lead is with the male lead?"

"To put it bluntly, the first and second female roles are nothing more than the number of scenes. In the drama of Su Yan, the old villain, they may not represent the ultimate winner in the relationship. So."

"I understand now that you put it that way."

It’s just based on the information released internally by “Dimension Film and Television Production Company” at this stage.

The vast majority of Su Yan’s fans and colleagues in the industry in Xia Country are not optimistic about the A-level drama Life is Strange.

Su Yan’s previous dramas became popular because of the depressing love elements in the dramas.

A drama without a male lead in the cast information list?
How can you fall in love then?

At this stage, neither Su Yan's fans nor the film and television media are aware of a key issue.

Can’t a drama with two female protagonists have a love element?
There's nothing wrong with the Su-Shen CP and the Su-Gu CP, which are so popular on the internet?
If we take two people out of three and make a combination, there are three ways of making the combination in mathematics.

If fans insist on pairing up within a group of three.

Then we are still missing a new CP combination, Gu Shen CP.

The two female protagonists in the drama Life is Strange, by the end of the show, have a relationship that is more than just friends.

Let's talk about regret and depression
The ending of Life is Strange may not lose to To the Moon, Ancient Lovesickness, April and other dramas.

late October.

Two TV series, Life is Strange and Edge Walker, have officially started filming.

However, the current shooting focus is on Life is Strange. For Edge Walker, the scenes that need to cooperate with the special effects plot will be shot first and then given to the special effects company to produce, synthesize and render. As for the daily part, Su Yan will have the energy to shoot after the shooting of Life is Strange is completed.

Soon, it was November.
This season, the three major TV stations won the championship because of this drama in April of the previous quarter, and the ratings of 4.78% in April were the highest-rated TV series as of the summer season.

It is a fact that Qingkong TV won the season championship, and the three major TV stations cannot change it.

But the drama Your Lie in April will definitely not win the annual ratings championship.

So the three TV stations are like they are on a roll this season.

Among them, Sakura TV was the most excited.

The publicity resources given to the A-level dramas airing this season on its own TV station are terrifying.

On Sakura.com, this A-rated drama is available for free with limited discounts and other offers.

The purpose is to increase the audience base and develop the viewership of this drama through various channels.

The operations of Zhongxia TV and Shanghai TV are similar.

This year's ratings champion can go to any of the three major TV stations, but it must not go to this drama in April.

This is not just a simple dispute of pride.

It is the bottom line that the three major TV stations jointly guard.

If the annual championship is taken away by Qingkong TV, it will be difficult for the three major TV stations to negotiate prices with advertisers next year.

Under such circumstances, although the reputation of the A-level dramas of the three major TV stations this season is average.

But their ratings are slightly better than those of the dramas broadcast on their own stations last quarter.

April's annual ratings record doesn't look so stable.

But Su Yan is not focusing on these things now.

It would be great if we could win the annual championship this year, but it would be great if we could not win the annual championship this year.
Just get it next year!

Among the three major TV stations, Zhongxia is not so hostile to Su Yan because they had cooperated in April.

But Sakura and Hudu are different.

After knowing that Su Yan will have an S-level drama airing in April, both companies have made big moves, but they are afraid that it will affect the popularity of the dramas airing this quarter, so they have not made any official announcements yet.

And there will be big moves not only in April next year, but also in January next year when Life is Strange starts airing.

Being stepped on by Su Yan and Qingkong TV once is enough.

The three major TV stations will never allow such a thing to happen again.

Therefore, the dramas produced by the three major TV stations that premiered in January can be said to have been produced with great care. From top to bottom, the crews are all industry elites with huge prestige.

In this case, November passed quickly.

December is here.
