Su Yan’s fans are still immersed in the afterglow of the plot.

Su Yan’s previous dramas include martial arts and romance-themed dramas such as Rurouni Kenshin.

There are fantasy love themes like Ancient Love Song.

There are science fiction romance films like Going to the Moon.

April is all about music and romance.

But Cyberpunk Edgewalker is definitely unique in style among all the film and television dramas created by Su Yan.

Before, everyone thought that Rurouni Kenshin’s worldview was cruel enough, but Cyberpunk Edge of Tomorrow is simply cannibalism.

"The heroine, please come out and comfort little angel David! This hero is so miserable."

"To be honest, the special effects of this drama are really good, and the gunfights are also exciting, but why is the plot so cruel!"

"Teacher Su Yan's characterization is really amazing! I was really moved to tears when David's mother died. Although the mother didn't appear in many scenes, her concern for David and the details of her portrayal were really good."

"I feel so heavy after reading this! I would probably get depressed right away if I lived in this kind of world."

"On the contrary, I think this is the best drama created by Teacher Su Yan. The special effects and this fantasy world are amazing!"

“Perhaps viewers who like guns will think that the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker is amazing! I think so too. The social and cultural characterization in this drama is really absurd and reasonable. If capitalists become rulers, perhaps the world will really become like that.”

"Although the first episode is a bit sad and not that satisfying, I feel like this is going to be a masterpiece. With this world view unfolding, what big things will David do next?"

"What big thing can he do? Just fall in love with the heroine Lucy. The trailer said that the two of them are going to the moon!"

"Pfft. I felt a little sad at first, but suddenly I burst into laughter."

"So far, I only know from the trailer that the heroine's name is Lucy, and I don't know anything else. Will Lucy appear in the second episode?"

"I hope the plot will be a little lighter later on. The hero and heroine will fall in love, and do something big together in Night City, such as overthrowing the rule of the original high-level officials in Night City. Like Rurouni Kenshin, Kenshin has a lofty ideal and works hard for world peace. David is heading in this direction in this drama, and the ratings will definitely not be low."

"Among the three S-rated dramas this season, the one that I enjoyed watching the most in the first episode was "Nanmen", and the one with the best special effects and plot immersion was "Cyberpunk Edgewalker". As for "Black Gate", I can only say that the female lead is too ugly and I can't really watch it."

"On the contrary, I think the first episode of Black Gate has the best rhythm, it is lighthearted and the following plot is very attractive. But in terms of plot depth, I think Edgewalker is indeed the best. On the surface, the first episode of this drama is about the male protagonist being abused. In fact, it is all about shaping the oppression of the lower class people by this worldview. But the plot unfolding under this worldview can easily break the character setting. It depends on how the old thief handles it. Anyway, I am optimistic that Edgewalker will win the quarterfinals!"

On the night when the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker was aired, a large number of fans discussed it all night long.

The ratings for the first episode of the show were released on the same night it aired.

9.0 points.

This data made a group of employees in Su Yan's company feel nervous.

During the lunch break, many employees in the company were a little absent-minded and kept looking in Su Yan's direction.

Ratings represent word of mouth. Among the three S-level dramas that premiered this season, Edge of Tomorrow had the lowest rating of 9.0 on the night of its premiere.

After all, the first episode was too cruel to the protagonist, and it was not very pleasant to watch.

Black Gate is 9.2.

Namco is 9.3.

No way.
If the rating is the lowest, then shouldn’t the viewership be as well?

But by noon, Zhongxia TV sent the ratings data of the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker.

Su Yan didn't hide it either.

Direct disclosure.

5.09%
"First-run ratings No. 1?"

After hearing the news, Ikumi Shinozaki was stunned for several minutes.

The first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker is mostly about the development of the world view and the laying of foreshadowing.

The male lead's scenes are all about abuse.

It is not until the second episode, when the male protagonist is equipped with a prosthetic body, that the eye-catching main storyline and crazy fighting scenes will unfold.

But the first episode already ranked first in ratings?
Won’t the ratings take off later?

Whether it was Gu Qingyuan or Shen Liqian, both of them felt goosebumps.

They have all become accustomed to the fact that the ratings of Su Yan's works are gradually rising.

The premiere had the highest ratings, and three S-rated dramas were aired simultaneously this quarter, which made both of them feel a little nervous.

"Don't get too excited. Among the three S-level dramas, the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker has the best special effects, the most fighting scenes, and the most compact plot rhythm," Su Yan said.

"As long as a drama has a lot of fighting scenes and special effects, it will naturally attract passers-by to stay, so it is normal for Edge Walker to rank first in the ratings in the first week. But this effect is more obvious in the first episode. If Edge Walker wants to continue to maintain its first place in the ratings, it depends on whether the plot can attract people to stay."

Whether it is special effects or the creation of a novel worldview, they can only attract the audience for a while.

For any drama, the most important thing is the plot and the development of the characters' fate!
After Su Yan said this, everyone present became more clear-headed. Su Yan was indeed right.

No matter how cruel the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker is, the first episode of this drama features a Daxia Kung Fu beating up an ordinary high school male protagonist, a gang exchange of gunfire on the highway, and a bloody special effects scene of a cyber psychopath beating up a policeman at the beginning.
These scenes do tend to attract passers-by, so it's normal that the ratings are higher.

"But Edge Walker's reputation score is currently the lowest, which actually has an impact on the subsequent increase in ratings. Perhaps in the next two or three weeks, Edge Walker may not be able to maintain the first place in ratings. However."

Su Yan thought about the ratings of the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker and smiled.

"But what?" asked Shinozaki Ikumi.

"Although the ratings of this drama were not very high when it first aired, since it had an initial audience rating of 5.09%, I think that no matter how the ranking of the ratings changes during the broadcast, it is already very stable that this drama will eventually win the season championship."

"Are you so confident?" Shen Liqian asked curiously with eyes wide open.

"Of course, this shows that the cyberpunk theme will not scare away the audience. What I am most worried about for this work is that the public will not accept the cyberpunk theme." Su Yan said with a smile.

"But judging from the comments from the audience, no one thinks there is anything wrong with the subject matter. Instead, most people are looking forward to the appearance of you two, Shen Liqian and Gu Qingyuan, in the second episode. The audience is all love-brained!"

"Because the trailer is hinting to the audience that this drama will have a lot of love plots. Even if the audience doesn't like gun battles, science fiction, and fighting scenes, they will continue to follow it because of the excellent love dramas you have starred in in the past, Su Yan." Gu Qingyuan said softly.

"It's a real fact that Cyberpunk Edgewalker's opening ratings ranked first. No matter how the other two competitors perform in the next few weeks, we have only one goal this quarter. To win the seasonal championship, or even the annual championship," Shinozaki Ikumi looked at everyone present.

"I hope that at the Xia Yan Awards next year, we will be nominated and win awards such as Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenwriter, and Best Producer!"

Su Yan, Shen Liqian, and Gu Qingyuan all looked at Shinozaki Yumi.

"Well, of course, we can't ignore The Garden of Words that we are filming now." Su Yan added at this time.

"The Garden of Words has been confirmed to be released in July during the summer vacation. As the first movie produced by our company, I hope it can at least win a few awards rather than a big box office hit."

The news that Cyberpunk Edgewalker topped the ratings in its first week spread throughout the Xia country's film and television industry in less than half a day.

Su Yan knows the plot of the first episode of Cyberpunk, and the advantages of special effects and pictures in attracting passers-by, so the media naturally know it too.

But first is first!

Needless to say.

The media doesn't care about that.

[The first episode of Cyberpunk: Edgewalker received a viewership rating of 5.09%, topping the list in the first week of the spring season! ]

[This quarter, the ratings of the three major S-level dramas all exceeded 5%, and the Xiaguo TV drama industry ushered in a real spring! 】

[Although Cyberpunk Edgewalker topped the ratings in its first week, the real competition among the three S-level dramas starts from the second episode. If the second episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker does not have a breakthrough plot and is still as abusive as the first episode, perhaps the word-of-mouth ratings will continue to decline. ]

[Can a drama with a theme like Cyberpunk maintain its ratings? Perhaps starting from the second episode, the ratings of this drama will drop sharply. ]

[The main creative teams of Black Gate and Namco were interviewed and both said that in the next two weeks, the ratings will surpass all competitors and reach the top! ]

[Three S-rated dramas, none of which are bad, this season is definitely a feast for Xiaguo film and television fans! ]

[Whoever wins the quarterly championship will basically be crowned the annual champion, and the next year's Xia Yan Award may become the biggest winner. ]

After the results of Cyberpunk Edgewalker were released, the competition among various works in the first week of the spring season in Xiaguo came to an end.

But people with discerning eyes know very well
For these three dramas, the competition has just begun.

The ratings for the three dramas Namco, Black Gate, and Edgewalker were 5.02%, 5.03%, and 5.09% respectively.

The ratings are 9.3, 9.2, and 9.0.

It can be said that the performances of the three dramas are generally comparable.
The gap between them is very small. One of the dramas may suddenly have a super explosive plot in a certain week when it is aired, and then the ratings and reputation will soar directly, and finally the victory is confirmed.

As for now, Edge Walker's ratings advantage is almost insignificant.

It just ranked first in the ratings in the first week, which sounds better.

The production executives of Shanghai Television and Sakura Television all had the same sour thought.

Especially Yoshitoki Akasaka. The ratings of the first episode of Edge Walker were so high, but he didn't say anything for half an hour after he knew the news.

But he still had to do some superficial work. As a minister, he had to remain calm and composed, acting as if he had the situation under control to reassure everyone in the station and make performance guarantees to the top management of the TV station.

He stayed in the office and felt the pressure.

But when he thought of the excellent script of "Black Gate", he suddenly felt at ease.

"Your Su Yan's drama is not the only one that starts slowly but gains momentum in the later stages. The same is true for 'Black Gate'." Akasaka Yoshitoki took a deep breath.

Yoshitoki Akasaka believed that the plot of "Kuromon" became significantly more interesting in the later stages, and he asked the station to add funds to produce special effects, which would allow the drama to ultimately win out among the three S-level dramas.

"The championship of this quarter must belong to Sakura TV."

Akasaka Yoshitoki clenched his fists.
