Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 16 Start broadcast

On this day, there were many passers-by like Yue Zhi on Sakura.com.

In the comment section below the Rurouni Kenshin trailer promotional video page, there were soon a lot of messages.

"Who are the male and female protagonists of this drama? Why haven't I heard of them?"

"It should be a new actor."

"That's pretty amazing. The fighting scenes in this drama have such smooth movements. Is it synthesized by special effects?"

"To be honest, I was a little confused. I used to be a stunt double in martial arts scenes, so I could tell that this was real fighting, but the actor who played the male lead moved too fast. Also, the way he held the sword looked very professional. This actor must have practiced martial arts since he was a child."

"Only four episodes? That's a shame. This kind of martial arts drama should be longer! There haven't been any decent martial arts dramas in Xia Country in recent years."

"Why is everyone focusing on the fighting scenes in the trailer? I'm more interested in the love story between the male and female protagonists!"

"What are you thinking? The love scenes in martial arts dramas are all irrelevant. The focus is on the fighting. If you don't believe me, just wait until the series is online and you will know that the heroine is definitely a marginal role of a vase."

"That's right, what's the point of a martial arts drama with a female lead? A female lead will only affect the speed at which the male lead draws his sword. Brotherhood is the highlight of a martial arts drama."

"If the fighting scenes in the series are as smooth as those in the trailer, I will definitely call on all my friends to buy this series. Regardless of the plot, the subscription fee is worth it just to watch the fighting scenes."

"I thought it was a crude martial arts drama. I judged the show by its appearance."

"This season's web series are so bad that the sales of the ridiculous "Seikaze" are so high. I hope Rurouni Kenshin will start to squeeze it out."

"You're overthinking it. What do you expect from a low-budget, four-episode web series? It'd be good if it can get a certain amount of paid streaming and make a small profit. As for this actor, I hope the top executives of these entertainment companies will have some foresight to sign him. It would be a waste if such a talent doesn't specialize in period dramas."

Although the publicity efforts given by Sakura.com were not strong, Rurouni Kenshin still gained popularity rapidly after the trailer was released.

In a very short time, it reached the 22nd place on the website's hot search list.

But that’s where it ends. After all, with this amount of publicity, the effect is already very good. At least it has made it to the hot search list and attracted the attention of a group of website users.

For the main creative staff including Shinozaki Yumi, Gu Qingyuan, Shi Peihua, Su Yan, etc., a huge stone fell from their hearts.

What they fear most is that the promotion is launched but there is no splash in the market.

With such a high retention rate for the trailer, we can expect at least some sales after the feature film is released.
"The audience all praised your fighting scenes, Su Yan. If I had known, I would have put all the fighting scenes in the trailer. Your most powerful fighting scenes were not edited in."

"No need." Su Yan interrupted Shinozaki Yumi.

"At least the plot of Rurouni Kenshin we shot is not a drama centered on fighting. Strictly speaking, fighting is just a byproduct, and the real attraction is the love between Kenshin Himura and Tomoe Yukishiro. If we promote fighting too much and create the image of Rurouni Kenshin as a passionate martial arts drama, when it starts airing, the audience's expectations will not match the actual plot, and we may get a lot of negative reviews."

"Teacher Su Yan is right. I have never bothered to do any misleading or fraudulent editing in the trailer. It is obviously a tragic love story, but it was edited into a passionate battle drama, which is a wolf in sheep's clothing." Shi Peihua said.

"." Shinozaki Ikumi looked at the two of them speechlessly.

"I also hope that the show will achieve good results after it goes online."

"For a low-budget drama, there aren't many choices. If you want to achieve good results, you can only rely on word of mouth from fans, so you shouldn't do those operations. The trailer shows the general style of the work, and people who like it will naturally help advertise our work after watching it. And I am confident about this," Su Yan said.

"Your confidence is so strange. You are obviously a new screenwriter." Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan and said.

"Don't underestimate the newcomers!" Su Yan said with a smile.

"Maybe in a few days, you will look at me with new eyes."

The lunch break passed in a flash.

Soon, afternoon arrived, and Su Yan, Shi Peihua, and Shinozaki Yumi took their positions.

At present, most of the scenes of Rurouni Kenshin have been filmed.

The only things left to be filmed were the fight scene in the snow at the end of the fourth episode and the final life-and-death farewell scene between Kenshin and Tomoe Yukishiro.

Su Yan stood in the snow scene built in advance by the props team, holding a sword. Soon, the gentle smile on his face disappeared.

Instead, after learning that he was the murderer who killed Yukishiro Tomoe's fiancé and caused the tragedy in her life, Kenshin was on the verge of a mental breakdown, and his eyes were filled with the determination to die.

For Su Yan, the improvement in his acting skills over the past month of filming cannot be underestimated.

Even without relying on the system, he actually has a talent for acting.

The masked martial arts actor who had been prepared on the tree was hanging on the wire and jumped down. In front of the entire crew, he and Jian Xin, played by Su Yan, had a gorgeous and handsome life-and-death battle. The photographer's camera followed the two people.
On the other hand, because the fourth episode of "Seikaze" was a little controversial and the number of paid broadcasts dropped slightly, Kiyota Sanji was in a depressed mood.

At this time, I heard a group of colleagues in the screenwriting department exclaiming.

"Is this Su Yan?"

“Isn’t he too handsome?”

"He actually became the leading actor of his own drama?"

"Amazing! How did he do this kind of action? Is he really from our screenwriting department, and not an action star from an entertainment company?"

"Does Su Yan have a girlfriend? With his physical condition, his girlfriend must be... Oh, why are you pinching me? We are adults, and you don't even dare to discuss this topic?"

Kiyota Sanji is very sensitive to compliments, and when he heard his colleagues cheering for Su Yan, he naturally couldn't suppress his curiosity.

What is there to praise about a screenwriter who hasn't been to the department for a month and has been filming outside?

A minute later, Kiyota Sanji turned his eyes away in disbelief from the Rurouni Kenshin trailer that was playing on a loop on his colleague's computer in the screenwriting department.

Kiyota Sanji looked a little confused.

Although he is a fake screenwriter, he is still a member of this industry.

It is obvious at a glance that Su Yan in the video is doing real fighting, with no special effects used. To be able to perform these kinds of moves, one must have practiced martial arts since childhood, and must have extremely high martial arts talent.

And hearing my colleagues in the screenwriting department praising Kenshin's trailer non-stop was even more irritating and annoying.

"Su Yan also knows these things?" Kiyota Sanji looked incredulous.

I remembered the rumors I heard from some martial arts stunt doubles in other crews during the filming of Qing Feng, that Su Yan was a talented action actor.

What people with connections hate most is geniuses who can break the shackles of convention.

Because the existence of geniuses will constantly remind them of their own ridiculousness.

Qingtian Sanji, who was already annoyed with Su Yan for various reasons, became even more jealous at this time.

He is more handsome than him and popular with girls.

They are all screenwriters who have just joined the TV station, but Su Yan does not rely on connections. He actually has producers willing to start projects based on his own scripts.

Is there even potential to be an action star now?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

But who is Kiyota Sanji? He has terrifyingly strong mental strength. He quickly adjusted his mentality, took a deep breath, and whispered in defiance.

“So what?

How far can you go in this industry with just these?"

Whether it was Kiyota Sanji's jealousy of him or the curiosity of his colleagues in the screenwriting department about his drama, Su Yan had no idea.

He was immersed in filming the final scene of Rurouni Kenshin: Remembrance with Yukishiro Tomoe, played by Gu Qingyuan.
This plot requires the highest acting skills in the entire work, and it is also the plot with the highest NG rate for Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan.

Sometimes it takes a whole morning to finish shooting a scene.

For two consecutive days, the shooting progress was slow.
But time waits for no one, and it was July 22nd.

Tonight at 8 o'clock, the first episode of Rurouni Kenshin [The Executioner] will be online on time.
