Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 156: Trailer Response and Contract

Today, Xia Guo, Su Yan, Shen Liqian, and Gu Qingyuan have collaborated on many works, and their previous works basically had depressing endings, so their fans are united in their hatred of the enemy.

Although there is some hostility between the Yan Yuan Party, the Yan Li Party, and the Yuan Li Party, it has not reached the point of factional strife.

The fan groups of each other joined cross-party, and the news of the Tokyo Love Story trailer being broadcast online swept through all the fan groups of the three within ten minutes.

A large number of viewers flocked to Zhongxia TV and the four major online broadcasting platforms.

At this time, the top of the trending search charts of several online broadcasting platforms have been dominated by East Love related terms.

When a large number of fans clicked on the preview video, they saw a cute girl with a smile, extremely beautiful, bright eyes and white teeth.

Her outfit is a bit similar to that of the last era, but with her powerful looks, she still makes a lot of boys feel moved and full of energy at first sight.

People with good looks are beautiful no matter what clothes they wear.

That’s right, this feeling is similar to Miyazono Kaori.

But it seems that it needs to be more energetic.

Just one picture and Miyazono Kaoru's fans were instantly excited.

But in the trailer, the energetic girl played by Shen Liqian said a line with this smile that made all fans' brains crash.

[Well, let’s make love! ]

?

? ?
???

At this moment, a large number of Su Yan fans tapped the space bar on the keyboard to pause the playback of the trailer.

I exited and took a look, and this is indeed the official playback page of Tokyo Love Story.

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?
Is the trailer so explosive right from the start?
The trailer continues.
At the station, a girl was holding a pick-up sign and calling out "Nagao Kanji".

Camera switch.

On the street at night, a girl kicked over the plastic bucket placed in front of a convenience store, then ran wildly on the street holding a man.

When parting, the handsome man said 123 to each other, then jumped behind and turned his back to the woman.

On a rainy night, a girl was waiting for someone outside a convenience store with an umbrella.

The melodious background music starts playing
Switch the screens one by one.

More than 70% of the shots are of the character Akaname Rika played by Shen Liqian.

Including Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan, and the second male lead of the show, Satake Shunsuke, they all have very few scenes.

The audience does not know what these flashing images mean, but they can feel a strong sense of time as the background music plays.

And there is a very faint sense of sadness conveyed in the picture.

Finally, the trailer freezes on a daytime scene again.

It was the same game as the previous night, where the man and woman shouted 123 to each other and then jumped backwards after parting.

This time, they still shouted loudly, with their legs bent in a squatting position.
But there was a hint of sadness in the expressions of both of them.

The scene ends abruptly.

【Tokyo Love Story!】A few big words appeared on the screen.

A group of fans came to their senses at this time.

Most TV show trailers don't reveal much.

The point of the trailer is not to spoil anything, but to throw in some plot hooks slightly.

For example, in the first scene of the East Love trailer, Akaname Rika said, "Let's have sex."

At this time, after watching this scene, the audience will have only one thought in their mind: which episode and which section this scene is from, and in what scene can it be told.

Is this the script written by Su Yan?

That’s too straightforward!
The most daring TV series Su Yan had starred in before was Edge of Tomorrow, and neither David nor Lucy in the series were like this!

Why could a girl who looks so energetic burst out with such vicious words?

As for other meaningless images and lines in the trailer, they help the audience understand the actors' makeup, the quality of the film, and the art style.

After watching the trailer, fans were discussing it enthusiastically.

"It's interesting!"

"A workplace romance drama?"

"This time there is no time travel, no music, no super powers, no future technology, and no martial arts. It's just a pure workplace romance!"

"Strictly speaking, the core of Su Yan's previous dramas was love, but he added some weird settings in it! But this time, it's really just pure love!"

"Interesting, Su Yan's traditional love drama! There are probably thousands of dramas of this theme in Xia Country, and there are so many classics! Is Su Yan trying to carve out a niche in the traditional love theme?"

"Damn, I'm a little nervous! To be honest, the audience for traditional romance dramas in recent years is much worse than before. The routines are the same, and the emotional development and entanglements of the male and female protagonists are all the same. Can this East Love be filmed with any new ideas?"

"Please don't bring any domineering CEOs or crazy heroines! It makes me want to vomit!"

"From the trailer, the heroine of this drama, Akana Rika, is energetic, but there is only a fine line between energetic and naive. In fact, if the plot is not well set up, a lot of people will criticize the heroine with this kind of personality."

"That's right. A heroine with a personality like Miyazono Kaoru would feel annoying and blindly arrogant if the plot wasn't done right."

"Lao Zei actually shouldn't worry us fans about this. He can definitely think of what we can think of."

"But judging by the appeal of the trailer, Sakura TV's Blood Road seems to be much more interesting."

"What can we tell from the trailer? Anyway, the quality of the two dramas is about the same. The trailers of bloody and bizarre dramas are indeed quite exciting, but we still have to wait until the real drama is aired to see the plot."

"That's right. If bloody and bizarre dramas could easily get high ratings, then Xia Country would have been full of such TV dramas long ago."

"Anyway, Su Yan can't lose. The screenwriter on the other side directly approached him and said that he would beat the old thief in October. It would be too embarrassing if he lost."

"The main thing is that the old thief also responded that Tokyo Love Story will not lose ratings from the beginning to the end, even if it lasts for a week. This is the most exciting thing. Whether it's Su Yan or Akiyama Shunsuke, the two famous screenwriters of Xia Country, they are all gambling their reputations now."

"In short, I believe that although the investment in the drama "Old Thief" is not as high as that of "Edge Walker", the final result may not be worse than that of "Edge Walker."

After the fans' heated discussion, the media came on the scene and analyzed the trailer of East Love, and also conducted a comprehensive analysis of the past works of Su Yan and Akiyama Shunsuke.

The media is also good at provoking conflicts, and has reaped a wave of traffic from fans on both sides.

In September, Sakura TV and Chuxia TV have also launched comprehensive promotions for their two dramas that will be aired in October.

The production department of Sakura TV was under tremendous pressure, and they forced the launch of this drama in October despite such public opinion. Moreover, the market's attention to Blood Road and East Love is still so high.

This is different from the season when Edgewalker premiered.

Colleagues across the country all know who Sakura TV is targeting.

In October, these two shows are basically competing for the championship. If they really lose, it will be shameful.

Tokyo
The crew of "Tokyo Love Story".

【So you really are like this! 】

[Is the contract for tennis shoes the same? Did you make a deal with that person to close the deal?]

【What are you talking about? You, what nonsense are you talking about? 】

The woman's eyes changed from calm to shocked and sad in an instant.

"Crack!"

Shi Peihua's voice rang out.

Both Su Yan and Shen Liqian woke up from their acting trance.

Shen Liqian's eyes were red and tearful, and she took a few deep breaths before she managed to suppress the emotions in her heart.

"Very good." Su Yan looked at Shen Liqian with a strange look.

“You acted very well.”

"Thank you Teacher Su Yan for the compliment." Shen Liqian smiled when she heard that.

Su Yan looked a little dazed.

In fact, in Su Yan's previous life, there was only one role in the drama Tokyo Love Story that he performed brilliantly, was irreplaceable, and left an imprint on people's souls.

That's Rika Akagi played by Suzuki Honami.

In fact, replacement actors can be found for all other roles, except Suzuki Honami. Su Yan doesn't know how to find her replacement in Xia Country.

Obviously, even though Shen Liqian has six or seven years of acting experience and has similar temperament and image to the character of Akaname Rika, the Akaname Rika she plays cannot be better than the version played by Suzuki Honami in her previous life.

That was the peak.

However, the character Akagi Rika, played by Shen Liqian, had a similar yet different interpretation style, which also made Su Yan feel moved during the filming process.

Just like the two most popular versions of Little Dragon Girl in Su Yan's previous life's The Return of the Condor Heroes, played by Li Ruotong and Liu Yifei, the two people have different perceptions of the same role, but both of their performances have a large number of supporters, and it is difficult to tell who is better.

Before filming Tokyo Love Story began, Su Yan was most afraid of the actors he had found, including himself, who would end up playing the role in a weird way.

In Su Yan's previous life, East Love not only had the old version, but also a 20-year remake version. The same plot, different actors, the 20th version is simply hard to describe.

Now, when Su Yan was filming the fourth episode, all his worries were dispelled.

At least judging from the finished film that had been edited, Su Yan’s confidence was growing day by day!

In today's scene, both Su Yan and Shen Liqian were fully into the mood.

"Just keep performing as we did today." Su Yan thought for a moment and said.

"As long as the quality of your performance today can continue, after the show starts, you will become popular in Xia Country to an extent you can't imagine because of this role."

Shen Liqian's expression paused when she heard this, and then a bright smile appeared on her face again.

"Thank you, Teacher Su Yan, for your good wishes."

Today's scenes are shot up to here.

The night scenes "before" and "after" this shot had actually been shot long ago, but both Su Yan and Shi Peihua felt that this short shot of less than half a minute was not shot well enough, which is why they delayed the shooting time and shot it repeatedly until now.

It's already 11 o'clock at night.

"By the way, Teacher Su Yan, do you want to have a midnight snack?" Shen Liqian called Su Yan at this time.

Of course, Shinozaki Yumi, Shi Peihua, and other crew members were also invited.

"I'll treat you." Shen Liqian looked at everyone, but mainly at Su Yan.

"Also, I have a lot of things I want to ask you, Mr. Su Yan, about the subsequent filming of the character of Akana Rika."

"Sure." Su Yan wasn't shy.

During the filming of Tokyo Love Story, Shen Liqian was the one who showed courtesy more frequently in the crew.

But this is normal. After all, she is not stupid. Su Yan is now a hot commodity in the film and television industry of Xia Country. If she has such an opportunity, she must make full use of it.

The crew came to a relatively large late-night restaurant on the roadside near the crew late at night.

After sitting down, Shen Liqian first discussed the script with Su Yan for a while, and then the topic turned to another side.

"Teacher Su Yan, my agency contract is about to expire. I would like to ask, what if I do not renew the contract with the original company?" Shen Liqian said casually at this time.

"Can I transfer my agency contract to Dimension Pictures?"

At this time, Shinozaki Yumi, who was sitting on Su Yan's left and eating ramen, also slowed down a little.

She has very sensitive ears.

Logically speaking, for an actress of Shen Liqian's level, it is impossible that her agency contract would not have been renewed when it was about to expire.

The original agency is not stupid!

But Shen Liqian had offended Akasaka Yoshitoki before, which resulted in her not having any filming time for more than a year.

During this period, the agency's help to her was almost zero, and they were in a state of semi-abandoning her.

Later, she contacted Su Yan herself and turned her situation around in this industry.

In the past one or two years, she has been extremely careful about signing her contracts.

There were only a few months left on her economic contract, and bringing it up at this time and in this kind of situation could be considered a long-planned move.

She was indeed envious of Su Yan's care for Gu Qingyuan. Although Su Yan also took good care of her, she herself was not at ease because she was not a member of Su Yan's company.

Judging others by herself, she is Su Yan. Even if she has a good relationship with an actress who is not under her command, can she take good care of her?
It's impossible to expect Su Yan to remember the favor of the anti-Akasaka Yoshitoki alliance formed by both parties for the rest of his life.

Su Yan glanced at Shinozaki Ikumi.

Regarding this issue, Ikumi Shinozaki did not give her opinion.

After all, Shen Liqian and Su Yan have worked together for such a long time and in so many dramas.

It would be best if Shen Liqian could be directly accepted into the company.

But for a movie star of Shen Liqian's level, the signing fee, future benefits given to her in the contract, and the allocation of resources are not a small amount. This kind of thing can only be decided by the big boss Su Yan.

"I can join [Dimension Film and Television Production Company] under the same conditions as when I signed the contract with my current agency [Xingcheng] a few years ago." Shen Liqian looked at Su Yan for a long time without saying anything, and whispered her bottom line.

Su Yan and Shinozaki Ikumi's eyes narrowed when they heard this.

Her conditions are considered very low.
