Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 14 July
At the end of June, all major TV stations and online broadcasting platforms started promoting the TV series and movies that will be broadcast during the summer season.

Turn on the TV, and you will see Sakura TV's 30 million investment in the drama "Medical Soul" running advertisements around the clock.

Zhongxia TV's "Legal Tycoon" and Shanghai TV's "Wherever the Eyes Go" are also promoting their shows with full strength.

On the online streaming platform, as soon as Sakura.com opens the website, the first thing that pops up in the user’s face is the “Qingfeng” live broadcast advertisement. If the mouse is clicked on the small exit button, the online video account will automatically collect, make an appointment, and be reminded of the live broadcast.

Many website users frowned but were too lazy to complain.

After all, not everyone has the time, energy, and interest to watch TV dramas at home at a fixed time.

Online dramas with more novel themes actually have quite a lot of viewers.

Sakura.com's campus romance drama "Qingfeng", Xingxia.com's cycling-themed sports drama "Sprint Speed", and Hongsong.com's fantasy romance drama "I'm Trapped in the Temple!" also had over a million people pre-ordering before the show started.
Of course, with sufficient production funds, more publicity resources and funds, and two third-tier actors as the leading actors, "Qing Feng" has had an advantage in the online drama market promotion from the very beginning.

Some media also started doing this after receiving money.

[The co-creative screenwriter duo of Kanzaki Yusuke and Kiyota Sanji will redefine romance dramas this summer! 】

[After watching the movie in advance, industry insiders gave it a high score of 9.0]

[A web drama with a multi-million-dollar investment, "Qing Feng" may refresh everyone's view of the shoddy production of web dramas this summer. 】

[Tear-jerking love story, "Qingfeng" does not tell a story, but the lost youth of everyone. 】

The web drama has not been released yet, but some media outlets that claim to have released it internally in advance and have watched the series have started praising it crazily.

In the crew, Su Yan, who had temporarily finished filming his part, sat in a chair and watched the relevant news on his computer.

Wearing a red dress, her hair tied into a ponytail and with delicate makeup, Shinozaki Yumi was stealing glances at what he was doing.

Su Yan's expression was a little strange.

After all, in his previous life, he had no idea how many unscrupulous media and internet trolls had deceived him into going to the cinema to watch a piece of shit.

Wasting money is a small matter.

The important thing is that the brain is polluted.

I didn't expect that after traveling through time, the taste was still familiar.

"You really are worthy of being the TV station's own son!" Shinozaki Ikumi suddenly spoke at this time with an unpleasant expression.

Qingfeng’s current publicity resources and funds include one million yuan taken from the Rurouni Kenshin crew.

The more hype "Qing Feng" gained before it was aired, the angrier she got.

"Why are you angry? Just imagine that one day your work will be treated like this by the station. It will be given the most resources, and all the media will praise it before it is broadcast. The market audience will be eagerly looking forward to it." Su Yan saw her depression and comforted her with a smile.

"It's not that simple. I don't have that strong connections in the production department. I will never get this kind of treatment." said Ikumi Shinozaki.

Being disgusted by others is nothing, but the most painful thing is that revenge is far away.

"Sakura TV has become one of the top three in the industry. It doesn't just rely on connections to get ahead," said Su Yan.

“There are always people working, making achievements, and coming to the fore based on their own strength.”

"For example, if Rurouni Kenshin performs extremely well on Sakura.com or in the entire web series in the next quarter after it is aired, and takes the top spot in sales, then the next work you produce will naturally receive better treatment."

"You're taking it for granted." said Shinozaki Ikumi.

"It's almost impossible for Rurouni Kenshin to take the top spot in sales. How can a four-episode web series compare in total sales with other series with more than ten episodes?"

“The only thing we can expect is that the average number of views and ratings per episode can be higher.”

"Then the average sales volume should exceed that of the other party." Su Yan said with a smile.

"You think it's too easy, don't you?"

"Do you think Kenshin will lose?"

"Of course I don't think Kenshin will lose to those dramas like "Seikaze" and "Sprint Speed". I know they can't compare to Kenshin without even having to watch those dramas." Shinozaki Ikumi looked serious.

"You don't know, after watching the video edited from the first episode of Kenshin last night, I got goosebumps for the first time, and was moved by the work I made."

"But it's useless for me to like it. The audience has to like it!" Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan and sighed.

"No matter what fantasies you have in your mind, reality will always hit you hard."

"The market is unpredictable. Even if everyone in a crew is confident in a certain work, compared with the market of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of people, this sample data is still too small. It is very likely that all of us in the crew are just a small group of people. Yesterday, everyone was excited about the quality of the first episode of Kenshin, and that was just a small group of people having fun."

"So as a producer, I don't dare to ask for too much. I just hope that Rurouni Kenshin can have an average sales of more than one million per episode when it is broadcast with few publicity resources and lack of filming funds, so that the TV station can make a small profit. This way I can keep my job and have the opportunity to work with you on the next work and realize a major turnaround in Shinozaki Ikumi's career."

"The next one?" Su Yan was stunned when he heard that.

"You still want to cooperate with me?"

"Of course." Shinozaki Yumi looked at Su Yan. "Don't you want to?"

"I haven't thought about what will happen after Kenshin is completed and broadcast." Su Yan said.

After all, you don’t know what work you will get when the time comes, so there is no point in planning in advance.

"But you don't even know what my next script is, yet you dare to talk about cooperation in advance? Aren't you afraid that I will write a bad script?" Su Yan became interested.

"Then I will send your script back and ask you to rewrite it until you write a good script." said Ikumi Shinozaki.

"What if I can't write it?" Su Yan asked back.

"I don't believe that the screenwriter who can write the script of Rurouni Kenshin can only write Rurouni Kenshin"

"You will be famous. One day in the future." Shinozaki Ikumi stared at Su Yan, but after a few seconds, she smiled lightly.

"Of course, this is just a hunch, or just my wishful thinking. I often misjudge people and things, otherwise I wouldn't have become a joke in the production department."

“Maybe we don’t have to wait for someday in the future. Maybe it’s right now.”

Su Yan smiled.

But he didn't continue.

After Kenshin was broadcast, the best words are achievements.

Because Shinozaki Ikumi had no big market data for comparison, even though she approved of Rurouni Kenshin, she still felt unsure.

Su Yan is different. He knows what the sales big data of Rurouni Kenshin's original work was in its previous life.

Nearly 80 million copies of the book have been sold.

The total box office of the live-action film adaptation is over 200 billion yen.

This is not a niche work.
It has been tested in the market, but not in Xia Country.
On July 1st, major TV dramas were broadcast one after another.

On the same day, the first episodes of major online dramas on the four major online streaming platforms were also released.

Under the media's publicity, the paid sales of the most popular online drama "Qing Feng" soared as soon as the first episode was released.
After the first week, as Sakura TV expected, the first episode of Qing Feng ranked first among online dramas of the same period with 1.09 million views in the first week.

Although the audience rating is not very high, only 8.1 points, its competitors at the same time are even worse.

"Sprint Speed" scored 7.3 points when it premiered, with 91 paid views in the first week.

"I'm Trapped in the Temple" scored 5.9 points when it premiered, with 85 paid views in the first week.

Seeing this, the online media naturally did not hesitate to praise "Qingfeng" one after another.

After the first week's results for the first episode came out, the crew of "Qing Feng" held a celebration banquet.

As for the expenses, they will be drawn from the filming funds.

If there is insufficient funding for the filming of subsequent episodes, with Qingfeng's current performance, it will be easy to get additional investment from the station.

"Congratulations, Mr. Kiyota."

"Qingfeng opened the show with a great victory, Mr. Qingtian, you are amazing."

"The paid views in the first week exceeded one million, and the paid views in the first month exceeded three million easily!"

"Long live Mr. Kiyota."

At the celebration party, he felt dizzy due to the compliments from the crew members and the effects of alcohol.

Although, the Qingfeng script was most likely written by another co-chief screenwriter, Kanzaki Yusuke, and he just made some constructive suggestions.

The producer Tu Heng was found by my uncle.

The director was also arranged for him by his uncle.

But it doesn’t matter. Without his uncle, how could these people get together and hold a celebration party here?
Without him, there would be no Qing Feng drama, so he is a well-deserved contributor to the drama.

"In the July summer schedule, all the web series that were scheduled to be broadcast on the four major online streaming platforms have already started broadcasting. Well, only that rubbish Rurouni Kenshin 22 has started broadcasting."

"Oh, it's settled. Once Qingfeng wins the top sales and ratings for online dramas this quarter, I will no longer be a rookie screenwriter with no achievements. Next, I will prepare my first work that can be broadcast on TV."

When Kiyota Sanji thought of this, he drank another glass of wine and became even more dizzy.

　Thanks to Moonlight Burial Lullaby, Super Electromagnetic Light-On Fireworks, and Youxuan Ding for their rewards.

　　Thank you for the reward.

　　Thank you for your vote.
