Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 13 Parties
Half a minute later.

This long shot was completed without any performance errors.

"Crack!"

Accompanied by Shi Peihua's voice.

The indifference on Su Yan's face disappeared and a smile appeared on his face.

"Are you okay?" Su Yan handed the towel handed to him by the assistant to Gu Qingyuan to wipe the prop blood off her face.

"Thank you."

Gu Qingyuan said, reaching out to take the hand towel, but her fingers were trembling slightly.

"What's wrong? Even though it's a rainy scene, the weather in June shouldn't be that cold."

Su Yan asked, or rather, although he was soaked, he still felt quite hot

"Not only that, I was a little scared by your expression just now." Gu Qingyuan paused for a few seconds before speaking.

"That's right. It's a bit scary to have blood all over your face." Su Yan wiped his cheek with his hand.

"There are more fight scenes like this in the first and fourth episodes, especially in the fourth episode, where you also have to smear a lot of prop blood on your body."

"No, when I said scary, I meant that your acting is very good. After the fight scene was filmed, the way you looked at me. Although I knew it was acting, I still felt dangerous." Gu Qingyuan paused and said.

"It's like really facing a monster that has killed so many people."

Um.
Su Yan was stunned when he heard this.

The Fei Tian Yu Jian Liu sword technique transmitted to him by the system contained many scenes of sword training, as well as many actual combat memory scenes.

Maybe those images are fake, but the emotions contained in the fights are real.

Therefore, when Su Yan was filming action scenes, he would be more or less affected by those emotions, causing his entire temperament and appearance to look different.

It is closer to the temperament of the young Kenshin in the original anime.

Su Yan already knew this when he was acting with those martial arts actors before.

Others said frankly that when filming the fighting scenes, they didn't dare to look him in the eye and always felt nervous.

It's natural for a girl like Gu Qingyuan, who has never seen boys fighting since she was a child, to be afraid.

"Sorry. I will try to control myself next time." Su Yan took a deep breath and apologized sincerely.

"It's okay, it's okay." Gu Qingyuan waved his hands quickly after hearing that.

"Why should you apologize if you acted well? It's me who needs to apologize. I have to work harder to get into the role. At least in the script, Tomoe Yukishiro won't tremble in fear of Kenshin. It's my problem."

"Don't worry. It's just acting."

Shinozaki Yumi, who was listening to the two people talking nearby, came over and quickly put a coat on Gu Qingyuan.

Although she was holding an oil-paper umbrella, her clothes were still wet by the rain, and her hair became damp.

"Let's go, take a shower quickly, or you'll catch a cold."

Over the past few days, Shinozaki Yumi has been getting along well with Gu Qingyuan. She chatted and laughed as she pulled her towards the locker room. At the end, she turned around and waved to Su Yan with a smile.

"You should also change your clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold! See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow." Gu Qingyuan looked at Su Yan and said.

"See you tomorrow." Su Yan said with a smile, not wasting time after watching the two leave.

It's late now and he needs to go home and rest.

Su Yan swung the prop sword in his hand, and all the prop blood and water drops on it scattered away, leaving not a drop behind. Then he swung the sword in his hand and it flew out, the blade spinning in the air, and with his other hand he quickly took off the scabbard from his waist.
The blade of the long sword flying in the air pointed vertically downward and returned automatically to the sheath.

The martial arts actor who was acting opposite her nearby twitched his eyes.

The action is handsome and steady. Why does this guy want to be a screenwriter?

In the Rurouni Kenshin crew, except for Kaishi Peihua who was mainly responsible for shooting the shots of Tomoe Yukishiro and Kenshin, the shots of other minor characters were given to the assistant director.

But shooting budgets are always exceeded, so how can there be any surplus?

Although we had saved a lot, the actual filming budget still exceeded the budget.

However, Ikumi Shinozaki had already anticipated this situation.

Before the crew starts filming, they make appointments with some advertising placement manufacturers in advance.

For example, the sword in Kenshin's hand, the kimono worn by Tomoe Yukishiro, and some crossbows and other props that appear in the series will all have information about the relevant manufacturers embedded in them.
Although the advertising fee offered by the other party is not high, every little bit counts and when accumulated it can be quite considerable.

After the second episode of the TV series was filmed, the literary scenes involving Tomoe Yukishiro and Kenshin increased.

Perhaps it was because Su Yan had the blessing of the systematic Flying Sword Sword style, so the cold-faced Su Yan who played Jian Xin was quite suitable for his temperament, and he was rarely scolded by Shi Peihua during the filming process.

After all, the difficulty in interpreting the role of Kenshin lies in the action scenes, and Su Yan is absolutely impeccable in this regard.

But as the drama increased after the second episode, the acting requirements for the heroine Yukishiro Tomoe also increased rapidly.

The character of Tomoe Yukishiro is not just a simple cold beauty.

On the one hand, she wanted to take revenge on Kenshin Himura, her enemy who killed her fiancé.

On the other hand, during this process, she was attracted by the young Kenshin, who showed her tenderness when he was not killing people, and stood up to protect her in times of crisis.
As a revenge spy and someone who falls in love with her enemy, her inner conflicts and entanglements often require Gu Qingyuan to express them through very short eye scenes.

So she was often scolded by Shi Peihua in the crew.

Several times, her eyes turned red when she was scolded, but she still controlled her emotions. Every night, she had to practice the scenes to be filmed the next day until late at night. However, over time, her progress was obvious to all, including Su Yan, who often became absent-minded when acting with her and regarded her as Yukidai Ba instead of the actor Gu Qingyuan.

Time passed and it was already the end of June.

"Action actor?"

In the crew of "Qingfeng", Qingtian Sanji, Tu Heng, the crew director and a group of actors, who have been filming this web drama for a month, have more or less heard some strange stories from other crews in the Shanghai Film and Television Base.

In a low-cost film and television crew, a talented action actor appeared who was praised by a group of veteran martial arts actors in the base.

Although there are many crews at the film and television base, in fact, everyone's circles are overlapping, and this information spreads quickly.

Of course, this kind of thing doesn't mean anything to Kiyota Sanji. His work is a youth idol campus drama and there is no fighting scene.

But it is strange that this so-called talented martial arts actor is from Sakura TV?

"Rurouni Kenshin crew, screenwriter and actor, Su Yan"

When Kiyota Sanji saw the name, he burst into laughter.

"A genius action actor? It turned out to be him?"

"What's wrong?" Tu Heng turned his head and looked at Kiyota Sanji.

He was a young man in his thirties, with a square face and tall stature. At first glance, he looked like a very serious person.

"Su Yan, this kid, has to take a long time to catch his breath after climbing to the fifth floor. What kind of genius action actor is this? I wonder where this information came from?" Kiyota Sanji said with a smile.

"And the crew of Rurouni Kenshin was so poor that the screenwriter became the lead actor. Su Yan's ability is beyond my expectation."

The actors in the crew who were currently surrounding the main creators chuckled at this moment and echoed Kiyota Sanji.

Among them, Feng Nannan, the fourth female role in this work, spoke up to express herself.

"If I remember correctly, my classmate seems to be the female lead in this crew."

"Oh, how about that?" Kiyota Sanji became interested after hearing that.

"She had come to our crew to audition for the role of [Sunaga Miyu] before, but was rejected and was about to go home to inherit the family business of growing grapes. Then, at the last minute, she was recruited by the Rurouni Kenshin crew to be the female lead."

Miyu Sunaga is the third female character in the drama Qingfeng.

Everyone understood as soon as they heard it.

A person who aspires to go home and grow grapes can be recruited to be the heroine?

A new screenwriter takes a break from his job and becomes the male lead?
Then the producer of this drama is none other than Ikumi Shinozaki, who became famous for producing the terrible drama Sakurajima Koika in the first half of the year.

After hearing this, Kiyota Sanji couldn't help himself.

“All the top talents are gathered together.”

"Okay, leave them alone."

At this time, Sosuke Okabe, the director of the Qingfeng crew, spoke.

"Starting tomorrow, Sakura Online will do its best to help promote "Qing Feng" before it airs. Although it is a web series, everyone knows that the specifications of "Qing Feng" are completely in line with the quality of TV series."

"The meaning of the production department of the station is also very simple. It is not only Sakura.com under our station, but also Xingxia.com under Zhongxia TV Station, Hongsong.com under Hudu TV Station, and Raccoon.com."

"Among the online TV series that will be broadcast on the four major online broadcasting platforms in Xiaguo next quarter, "Qingfeng" must rank first in paid broadcast volume among the series that will be broadcast on the four major platforms, and its reputation must also be ranked first."

Although the current film and television drama market in Xiaguo is still dominated by TV broadcasts, the number of paying users and attention to online dramas is also increasing.

Deputy Minister Yoshitoki Akasaka also used the development of the online broadcast market as an excuse to get the station to invest tens of millions of dollars and a lot of promotional resources in the online drama "Qingfeng".

But if after investing so much, it can't even get the first place among the online dramas of the same period, then someone in the station will definitely be held accountable.

"That is to say." Sosuke Okabe looked at everyone.

"Based on past experience, Qing Feng needs to have at least three million paid views per episode to secure the first place."

These online streaming platforms in Xia Country are the product of the rise of the Internet in recent years. They are not as outrageous as iQiyi, Tencent Video and Youku, which Su Yan developed for more than ten years in his previous life.

In the past, if a popular online drama had over 100 million views, the broadcasting rights for such a drama could also be sold for hundreds of millions.

The Xia Kingdom has not yet developed to that stage.

But on the other hand, Xiaguo's payment system is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Three million views per episode may not seem like a big deal, but these are effective paid views. There are no freeloaders. All of them are bought with real money by VIP users.

Therefore, this result is also a somewhat stressful performance indicator for the main creative members of the Qingfeng crew.

After all, those online dramas that cost four or five million yuan to invest, if recognized by the market, often have an average of one to two million paid broadcasts per episode. After all eleven or twelve episodes are broadcast, there will be paid sales of between ten and twenty million yuan. Half of the money from the online broadcast will be shared with the producer, plus the advertising placement fee. The TV station will sell the broadcasting rights to some foreign media.

The TV station will make a small profit, but the profit margin will not be too exaggerated.

If the TV station encounters a bad drama like Sakurajima Koika that the audience does not buy into, the TV station will still lose two to three million.

Producer Tu Heng had a serious expression on his face, and the director seemed to be thinking about something as well.

Everyone knows.

The advantage of having people with connections like Kiyota Sanji in the crew is that the station will invest and give the green light very quickly.

Once a project suffers losses, others will often be blamed.

"Don't worry." Kiyota Sanji said with a smile to ease the atmosphere.

"I've learned about the dramas that will be broadcast on the four major online streaming platforms next quarter. There are no strong competitors. Three million views per episode is not our ultimate goal. Four million or five million are also expected in the future. In short, we have secured the first place."
