Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 131

The first week of April ends and the second week begins.

The three major TV stations all made efforts at this time.

Although Edge Walker is not a self-produced drama of Zhongxia TV, Zhongxia and Su Yan are now on the same ship.

The first episode of Edge Walker ranked first in ratings, which also unified the production department of Zhongxia TV, which had some internal disagreements.

The station has limited publicity resources, and if they were given to Edge Walker, their own dramas would be gone. There are some small factions in the production department, and the producers naturally have opinions about Edge Walker.

It's not a drama from our station, so we can just support it according to the conditions agreed upon at the beginning. It's impossible to allocate all the resources to Edge Walker, right?

But once the production executives saw that Edgewalker had a great chance of competing for the championship this season, and that this possibility was revealed in the first episode, there was nothing more to consider.

Seasonal and annual championships are definitely more important than anything else and are directly related to the TV station's advertising revenue.

Therefore, Su Yan filmed the movie "The Garden of Words" during the day, and cooperated with Zhongxia TV to shoot promotional advertisements about Edge Walker at night. In addition, several promotional variety shows are being planned and arranged in the next few weeks.

Since Zhongxia TV was so proactive, Su Yan naturally couldn't refuse and he cooperated with the arrangements throughout the whole process, which greatly changed the people at Zhongxia TV station's impression of Su Yan.

I thought that a god-like person who dared to confront Akasaka Yoshitoki must be very difficult to serve and must be a madman.

But why is Su Yan so kind? He doesn’t come late, put on airs, or act like a big shot.

How stupid was Akasaka Yoshitoki to force such a good-tempered genius to leave Sakura and work on his own?
On the other hand, Cyberpunk Edgewalker had such good ratings when it was first broadcast that in addition to the increased support from Zhongxia TV Station, advertising placement contracts from various manufacturers in Xia Country also followed.

For a drama like Edge of Tomorrow, advertising placement is as easy as blindly inserting it.

Other dramas also have to consider how to embed these advertisements naturally and without affecting the viewing experience.

But for Edge Walker, the show is full of neon lights and holographic projections, and these advertisements look perfectly natural on the background.

And there is no picky about the type of ads.

Su Yan had no way to get a share of the TV station’s advertising revenue, but Zhongxia TV had no control over the product placement in TV dramas.

There are a lot of film critics in the market, and the media publishes a lot of articles and reviews about the three S-level dramas every day.

Under such circumstances, the weekend of the second week of the spring season arrives.

The second episode of Black Gate begins airing.

After the plot entered the main line, the reputation of this episode was better than the first episode.

The ratings were announced at noon the next day.

5.13%.

The second episode of "Nanmeng" premiered on Saturday night.

The ratings are also announced at noon the next day.

This is slightly more than the first episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker’s performance last week, which was 5.10%.

After the results of the second episodes of these two works came out, the pressure came to Cyberpunk Edgewalker again.

Including the media in Xia Country, TV station practitioners could feel that the atmosphere was not right.

Normally, the TV series that air in a quarter are usually dominated by two main players. But this kind of situation where the ratings of the three main players are so different in the second week that no matter who wins the championship, it is very likely that they will win the championship this quarter is rare.

Fans have long been arguing and discussing this.

"How will the ratings for Edgewalker's second episode tonight be?"

“Will it be higher, or will it remain the same?”

"Who knows about this kind of thing? We'll have to wait and see what happens in tonight's drama!"

"The first episode basically introduces us to the cyberpunk worldview. The second episode should enter the main storyline."

"What's the main plot of this drama? I only know that the ruler of Night City in this drama is Arasaka Corporation. Are we going against it?"

"I don't know. How can you guess before the creator of this kind of work gives any information?"

"But what is certain is that the love element in this drama should account for a large proportion. The trailer gives the most information about the male and female protagonists played by Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan!"

"Don't lose! I've been a fan of Teacher Su Yan for more than a year. If Edgewalker can win the championship this time, his position in the industry will be unquestionable!"

"That's right. Edge Walker is an S-level drama. Moreover, it won the season championship when both Shanghai TV and Sakura TV launched two S-level dramas. This is of great value."

"As long as they win the championship this quarter, they will definitely win the championship this year. It's impossible for Sakura and Hudu to come up with a few S-level dramas in the second half of the year, like they did at the end of last year, and just rely on resources and publicity to snatch the championship this year, right?"

"If A-level dramas can do this, how can S-level dramas do this? The simultaneous broadcast of the three major S-level dramas this season will also heat up the market atmosphere. If the two TV stations randomly broadcast an S-level drama in the second half of the year, the ratings will most likely not be as high as the ratings of this season's dramas."

"That's right, high ratings can only be achieved under high-pressure competition."

"Edgewalker, charge and maintain your first pick tonight!"

Su Yan's fans are definitely the most contradictory among the Xiaguo TV drama group.

Those who cursed Su Yan were the cruelest.

But once Su Yan's works have the hope of achieving good results, their cohesion and unity will be the greatest.

There is no conflict between despising Su Yan as a person and believing in his creative ability.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening.

The ratings of Zhongxia TV have skyrocketed.

A large number of fans turned on the TV at the appointed time, waiting for the second episode of Cyberpunk Edgewalker to be broadcast.

Although Bian Xi had to work overtime tonight, he rushed home and ate the dinner he bought on the way, looking forward to the release of the second episode of Edge Walker.

She opened her phone, and her wallpaper was the scene in the drama Rurouni Kenshin where Kenshin accidentally injured Yukishiro Tomoe with his sword.

She has used this wallpaper for more than a year without changing it.

She has been a fan of Su Yan for more than a year.

I have never cursed Su Yan on the Internet!
She is a die-hard fan of Su Yan, and also the ultimate CP fan of Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan!
"Gu Qingyuan, you're supposed to appear in the second episode tonight. Let me see what image you'll have in this drama?"

Tonight, in every province and every corner of Xia Country, Su Yan’s old fans, haters, and cross-dressing fans are all watching the drama in front of the TV.

Watching this talented screenwriter who has been in the industry for less than two years showing his fangs to the TV giants who have dominated the TV industry for more than a decade this season.

Even until now, it is still in a leading position in this market competition. At eight o'clock, the theme song of Cyberpunk Edgewalker slowly sounded.

The rhythmic theme song sounded.

Bian Xi began to slowly shake her head and stamp her feet to the music. She actually found cyberpunk-themed works very exciting.

The second episode begins with the surgery that the audience has been looking forward to for a week: the male protagonist David.

Without any anesthesia, he forcibly implanted the new prosthesis into his spine.

There was so much blood and the mechanical special effects were so powerful that Bian Xi had to squint his eyes and didn't dare to look closely.

David had the military prosthesis left by his mother implanted. He didn't even bandage the wound on his back from the surgery. He put on his bright yellow sports jacket and walked out of the prosthesis hospital with a determined look in his eyes.

Walk towards the school step by step.

The background music bgm becomes passionate and explosive.

At this moment, Bian Xi's emotions were completely immersed in the plot.

David, it’s time to settle the score with that rich second-generation classmate in your class.

He didn't care that the guy beat him up, nor did he care about his classmates' ridicule of him.

But the only thing was that, when his mother had just died, this guy called David at the saddest moment of his life and mocked him for having a good mother's death.

This is too much.

Sure enough, as the music and plot progressed.

When the audience's emotions reached their highest point, David came to Arasaka Academy and found the beast.

Here, Bian Xi saw everything she wanted to see.

David, played by Su Yan, did not use the Flying Sword Style, but simply used movements that were so fast that it was hard to react, smooth and beautiful like art, and added the blessing of special effects.

The audience was presented with a wave of cyberpunk-style fighting scenes.

so handsome
Bian Xi's eyes widened.

At this moment, the shadow of David seemed to overlap with Kenshin Himura.

Although the roles are different, the action.
So recognizable.

"Huh" Bian Xi, a die-hard fan of Rurouni Kenshin, was extremely excited at this moment.

Then here, the main storyline comes out.

The video of David beating a classmate at school was handed over to the classmate's father, a high-ranking official at Arasaka Academy.

As a high-ranking official in Night City, he didn't care about such trivial matters as his son being beaten.

But he recognized the prosthetic David had used to beat his son, and.
David did not experience any adverse reactions when using this prosthesis [Sian Westin].

This prosthesis is actually the one used by the cyberpsychopath at the beginning of the first episode, which was removed by David's mother when she collected his body.

From here, the protagonist David begins to show his resistance to the use of prostheses.

The soldiers who used this prosthetic body could not bear it and turned into mental patients.

But David.
He used Swanwestin several times as if nothing had happened.

The director of Arasaka Academy instantly understood David's value and was prepared to bribe David with money to cooperate with the academy in the development of prosthetics.

The following plot is that the people of Arasaka Academy wanted to invite David to join the plan, but was rejected, and David.
Meeting Lucy on the subway.

Lucy is a chip thief who steals the chips from other people's necks with extremely fast hands, but David grabs Lucy's hand at the moment when Lucy is about to attack him.

Bian Xi's breath was choked.

Gu Qingyuan, dressed as a silver-haired queen, and David, who just beat up the man who insulted his mother
The two looked into each other's eyes at this moment, but they were not completely hostile, but instead communicated with each other.

After getting to know each other a little, Lucy learned that David was not going to go to school and was extremely short of money, so she suggested that David use Swanwestin's fast movement ability and cooperate with Lucy to steal things in the subway.

Bian Xi was stunned.

ha?
Tomoe Yukishiro and Kenshin Himura stealing things on a modern train?
"The values ​​of this drama are really bold!" Bian Xi took a deep breath.

But considering that there has not been a good person in Night City so far, it is understandable why David and Lucy did this.

Implantation and use of prostheses require inhibitors to suppress side effects. Lucy even paid out of her own pocket to buy these things for David to alleviate the side effects of his repeated excessive use of Sianwestin.

夜晚
Lucy led David to her residence.

Clean and tidy room.

The first time I smoked a cigarette was when Lucy handed it to me.

The first time I drank was when Lucy handed me a glass of wine.

The two even like the same movies.

But here, the second episode names the subject.

David sees the poster in Lucy's room
A poster promoting "Going to the Moon".

In this world, going to the moon is a real possibility.

In the cyberpunk world, preliminary development of the moon has begun.

As long as you have money, you can travel to the moon.

Bian Xi's expression froze.

Although I don't quite understand the meaning of this plot,
She instinctively felt that when Lucy and David met, they talked about going to the moon.

It is absolutely crucial and a big foreshadowing.

[Who knows how many people have been sacrificed to develop the moon? The moon is only bright and beautiful on the outside, but in reality it is more like a dark hell.] David said in a deep voice.

[You seem to know a lot!] Lucy's voice also turned cold.
