Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 128 Start broadcast

Edge Walker is different from Su Yan’s other dramas because special effects need to be produced. In fact, all ten episodes were filmed early and sent to a special effects company for special effects production.

To be honest, I guessed that the ending of Su Yan's drama would be very cruel, but guessing it does not necessarily mean that you can prevent it.

Just like the work CL, all the new audiences had more or less heard that this work was very tear-jerking when they watched it in their previous lives, but when they really saw the plot, they would still shed tears. The so-called psychological defense line often has no effect.

Especially this plot coupled with the excellent level of special effects.

In Shinozaki Ikumi's opinion, the level of Cyberpunk Edgewalker is better than many S-level dramas in Xiaguo's history.

Although she was not sure about the level of her competitors, Shinozaki Ikumi definitely believed in Su Yan at this time.

At eight o'clock in the evening, before the drama "Kuromon" was aired on Sakura TV, the TV station's ratings were rising rapidly.

At the same time, it was obvious that the ratings of other TV stations were much worse than usual.

After more than half an hour
The first episode of Black Gate has been successfully broadcast.

The reputation of this work is just as many industry insiders speculated before it was broadcast, surprisingly good!

Hundreds of thousands of viewers rated the film that evening, and the film received an extremely high opening score of 9.2, sweeping away all doubts from the industry.

The next day at noon, the ratings for the first episode of "Black Gate" were released.

5.03%
Although many film critics and media have guessed that this S-rated drama may have a premiere viewership rating of over 5% after it airs.

But when this result really came out, the whole market was completely boiling.

After two years, Xiaguo finally produced a drama with a viewership rate of over 5%.

The media also started.

[The ratings of the first episode of "Black Gate" exceeded 5%. The veteran screenwriter made a move after several years, proving that he is still as good as ever! ]

[Sakura TV breaks all doubts! The biggest move after Akasaka Yoshitoki took office as the director of the production department, "Kuromon" has a clear goal, aiming for the annual ratings championship! ]

[The performance of the first episode of "Black Gate" made the so-called genius screenwriter Su Yan a joke in the industry. After two years of hard work, his best performance is still far from the performance of the first episode of "Black Gate"! ]

[The comments that once questioned the poor performance of Sakura TV's productions after Su Yan left disappeared overnight! Last season, "Shanghai Rain. Continuation" won the quarterly championship. This season, "Black Gate" will defend the quarterly championship for Sakura TV, and may even win the annual championship! ]

[Exploding, the ratings of "Black Gate" exceeded 5% at the beginning of the broadcast, and the genius screenwriter Su Yan may become the clown! ]

[Sakura TV and Su Yan have a feud that started in April last year when Su Yan left Sakura TV and continued until April this year. The two sides are competing head-on in S-level dramas. "Black Gate" has already taken the lead. Can "Cyberpunk Edgewalker" which premiered on Sunday keep up with the opponent's offensive? ]

After Sakura TV's Black Gate was aired, the results were slightly better and media opinion completely changed.

The media simply felt that the situation was not chaotic enough.

When Su Yan was in a strong position, he mocked Sakura TV.

Sakura TV belittles Su Yan when it has achieved success, so how come it always has traffic.

These media comments made Su Yan's fans a little angry, but they couldn't find any way to fight back.

The plot of the first episode of "Black Gate" is really good, and the rating of 9.2 is also real.

If subsequent episodes are of this standard, then 5.03% is just the beginning.

When this drama ends, the ratings will definitely increase a lot.

At this time, many of Su Yan's fans felt guilty.

Although I don’t think that Su Yan’s full-powered work Edgewalker will lose.

Especially losing to the S-rated drama of the arch-rival Sakura TV.

But the 5.03% opening ratings for "Black Gate" did make many viewers a little nervous.

After all, the highest ratings for Su Yan’s previous works were only 4.78% in April.

Of course, if the production cost of April was higher and it could be broadcast on the three major TV stations, it might not necessarily perform worse than these S-level dramas, but those are all "ifs."

Before Edgewalker premieres on Sunday night.
No one knows what will happen after the show starts airing.

The first episode of "Nanmeng" will be broadcast on Shanghai TV at 8 o'clock on Saturday night.

After the show was aired, it replicated the grand opening of "Black Gate" the previous night.

Even the reputation of this drama is much better than that of "Black Gate".

On the night of its premiere, hundreds of thousands of people gave "Nanmeng" a score of 9.3.

On Sunday at noon, the ratings for the first episode of "Nanmeng" were released.

5.01%.

The ratings lost to "Black Gate" by a slight margin, but the ratings and reputation were better than "Black Gate".

It can be said that the two dramas have their own merits.

After this data came out, the entire market went wrong.

Generally speaking, the opening performance of an S-level drama will be around 5%, but not every one can reach this level.

Some dramas that have a slow first episode might only have a viewership of 4.6%, or 4.7%, which is normal.

But this quarter, three S-level dramas were aired at the same time. Just like playing chess, you have to compete for the lead, and the competition for ratings is the same.

It is unrealistic to expect good reputation and a rebound in ratings every time.

That would require all other dramas in the schedule to be awful.

For a season like this where three S-rated dramas are aired, if the ratings and reputation are lost at the beginning, it will be exponentially more difficult to recover them later.

Now the ratings of the two S-level dramas have exceeded 5% since their premiere. It would be embarrassing if the ratings of Cyberpunk Edgewalker did not exceed 5%.

They fell behind from the beginning. Now the pressure is on the Cyberpunk Edgewalker.

Su Yan's fans on the Internet have been getting anxious since the afternoon.

"Everyone, don't go out to party tonight! Go support the launch of Edge Walker."

"That's right, it's getting me all excited. Although we may criticize Su Yan normally, but when it comes to this, we can't let him embarrass himself."

"I'm following both Kuromon and Namco, they're really good!"

"I don't think it's as good as April. It doesn't have that flavor. I don't know why the ratings are so high."

"There's nothing we can do! Film and TV dramas are a game of capital. The investment in actors, the main creative team, the broadcast platform, and the publicity will all affect the ratings. The broadcast platform in April was too bad and the investment cost was too low. The only big-name actor in the crew at the time was Shen Liqian, who hadn't acted in a TV series for a year, and the work was still being broadcast on Qingkong TV. How can it compare with these two S-level dramas now?"

"That's right. Let Su Yan, the old thief, remake the drama April, or shoot the second season of April, and let Su Yan and Shen Liqian play the male and female protagonists. Invest 60 million in the second season of April and broadcast it on Zhongxia TV. I estimate that the ratings will blow away Black Gate and Nanmeng!"

"It's true that Miyazono Kaoru is extremely popular. This drama has been finished for half a year, and she is still ranked in the top three on the popularity list of TV drama heroines."

"Anyway, our fans will definitely give their full support to Su Yan. But if Cyberpunk Edgewalker wants to get good ratings, it depends on the strength of the show. See how many passers-by can stay."

"Everything depends on eight o'clock tonight."

“Although I know that Lao Zei’s works will be strengthened in the later stage. But I really don’t want to see Lao Zei fail again. Can this drama be a hit as soon as it is aired?”

Although Su Yan's fans usually criticize him for everything, they don't pretend at this time and openly express their support for him.

The webcast page of "Cyberpunk Edgewalker" was launched in advance on Xingxia.com, which is controlled by Zhongxia TV. Su Yan was forced to open a verified account on Xingxia.com. At this time, the number of fans exceeded five million, and the number of comments in the comment area was counted in tens of thousands.

Of the top ten hot searches on the website, four are related to Edge Walker.

As the time approaches eight o'clock in the evening, the ratings of Zhongxia TV are climbing higher and higher.

Yue Kaicheng drank a cup of Coke and looked at the time on his phone.

almost.

After the health care product advertisement on Zhongxia TV ended, the screen paused.

A cacophony of electronic sounds and light pollution appeared.

Under the night sky, the neon lights are dazzling.

The passionate and rhythmic BGM matches the indifferent eyes and muscular cyborg on the square.
Yue Kaicheng looked interested.

He had never seen any cyberpunk works before, but in order to watch this drama, he made a special effort to learn about this element.

In the future technological world, government organizations collapse. The contradiction between the high-tech world and the low living standards gives rise to contradictions and tragedies, conflicts and bloodshed. The hymn to the fate of the characters is the highlight of this type of drama.

This kind of subject matter is not very popular in Xiaguo.

But everything goes from unpopular to popular
Maybe, the drama Su Yan Lao Zei can make this element popular?
While Yue Kaicheng was thinking about a lot of things in his mind, the plot of the show quickly got going at the beginning.

The muscular man who appears at the beginning is a cyberpsycho.

Through the narration and dialogue, Yue Kaicheng understood what cyberpsychosis is.

To put it bluntly, when people constantly replace their organs with mechanical prostheses, their mental health will also have problems. The more organs are replaced, the more likely they are to develop symptoms of mental illness and lose their self.

This muscular man has completely lost himself and even started killing indiscriminately in the center of Night City.

This plot is kind of cool.

The movements of the mentally ill muscular man are fast and brutal, without any hesitation. Killing people is like chopping melons. There is a kind of messy and twisted beauty to the movement.

In order to cater to children's senses, the scenes in the TV series will not be particularly bloody. Shots of eyeballs and brains will not appear if Su Yan can avoid it.

But within two minutes of the start, a large number of police officers died in the city center, which was indeed eye-catching enough.

Fighting scenes are not picky about the audience; men, women, young and old are all easily attracted.

Soon, a zoomed-out camera technique allowed Yue Kaicheng to realize that the scene just now was the protagonist David at the cyborg doctor's place. Through a chip implanted in his brain and a thing called Black Super Dream, he was able to experience the memories of the cyber psychopath before his death.

Including the pain he felt when he went crazy and was shot to death in the city center!
As soon as this kind of setting came out, Yue Kaicheng became interested.

Can you read the memories of the dead?

This technology is so interesting.

Next, the perspective shifts from the background introduction in the first minute to the protagonist David.

A poor student from a prestigious school in Night City.

The mother is a white-collar worker and although her salary is not small, it is extremely difficult for her to support her son to go to a prestigious school and maintain living expenses.

In this city, money is everything.

The mother's greatest expectation for her son David is that he will be able to excel in the future, graduate from Arasaka Academy, and become a superior person!
Very realistic and explicit setting.

He doesn't even pretend, there's no such thing as gentleness, courtesy, frugality and modesty.

No other character has the ideal of "I want to benefit society".

In Night City, if you don’t have money, you are a bug. If you have money, you have everything.

In broad daylight, criminals were killing and robbing people in the streets. Crime was everywhere and the police were coming to suppress it violently.

Prosthetics, strength, weapons, as long as you have money, you can survive even if your body is broken into pieces and only your brain is left.

After just a few minutes of the story, Yue Kaicheng had a rough understanding of the cyberpunk worldview.
