Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 160 Public Opinion and Achievements

The first episode of Tokyo Love Story has ended, but this drama is completely different from all Su Yan’s previous dramas.

Its information density is somewhat beyond the audience's imagination.

Most shows might take several episodes to unravel a plot, but it unfolds it in just one episode.

The acquaintance of Akana Rika and Nagao Kanji.

Nagao Kanji had a crush on Satomi and then he saw Satomi kissing her good friend Mikami.

Mikami and Satomi had a conflict, but then Mikami took the initiative to kiss Satomi.

Also, in the length of one episode, the male and female protagonists experienced a leap from knowing each other, to the progression of their relationship, and then to the ending where the female protagonist Rika kissed Wanzhi.

Who shoots a romance drama like this?

The male and female protagonists have this kind of progress in the first episode, what about the second episode?

Just get married right away?

"What a fast relationship development."

"Rika is so cute!"

"The character of Shen Liqian is so well-crafted."

"Why is the character played by Gu Qingyuan in this drama so mediocre?"

"After all, she's a supporting actress. Can she be as likable as the heroine Rika?"

"Although I am a fan of Gu Qingyuan, I still feel that the character of Sekiguchi Rimi in this drama is quite green tea."

"That's right, from the eyes to the words, to the lines. What do you mean I like Mikami, but Kanji is always by my side so gently? What's this? It's not just treating the male lead as a backup!"

"But, despite this, I still feel that Rimi is pitiful!"

"It may be because of the filter of the characters that Gu Qingyuan played before. Even though she is a supporting role with such a personality, I still like her!"

"You old thief, come on! Make the character of Gu Qingyuan more likable!"

"Don't pay attention to Sekiguchi Satomi. After watching the first episode, shouldn't everyone be paying attention to Akaname Rika?"

"Rika is the cutest in the world!"

"There is a paradox of being innocent yet lustful. Obviously, this kind of energetic girl's character should not understand anything about feelings, but Rika knows everything. She understands everything, and still insists on her own way."

"Indeed, Rika knew that Kenji liked Satomi, but she still had a crush on him, but she didn't pursue him further. But when she saw Satomi and Mikami kissing and Kenji was heartbroken, she took action decisively without any hesitation. What a handsome heroine."

"This is a clear goal. Knowing that Wanzhi likes someone else, she encourages Wanzhi to pursue the person he likes, Satomi. And when the situation changes, her actions also change."

"What kind of fairy heroine is this, Li Xiang? I was in a bad mood today, but I was cured immediately after seeing this heroine."

"Me too, I enjoyed watching it very much. I will definitely watch this TV series."

"Su Yan is quite a good thief. The male protagonists in his scripts are always dull when pursuing girls, but the female protagonists are very good at pursuing boys."

"Haha, I can't imagine what would happen if a girl like Li Xiang pursued me in real life. I would probably be played around by her."

"You can't even dream of a girlfriend like Shen Liqian."

"I was worried that Su Yan Lao Zei's drama might be slow to warm up in the early stages and lead to poor performance, but now I am relieved."

After the first episode of Tokyo Love Story was broadcast, it was basically the same as Su Yan expected.

The first episode of the show received rave reviews.

The male lead of Tokyo Love Story is not likable, and the male and female supporting roles are not likable.

But as long as Akaname Rika is likable, that's enough.

In Su Yan's previous life, many viewers of Tokyo Love Story might have criticized Rika's unusual views on love and values.

But these are also the charm of this role.

At least after the first episode was aired, a large number of TV viewers were successfully attracted by the character of Rika.

Su Yan's anti-fans, who were ready to stir up trouble after the first episode of Tokyo Love Story aired, have now disappeared.

Don't dare to show up at all.

It seems that this drama is different from Su Yan’s previous works.

It’s true. It started to gain momentum from the first episode. It didn’t get slow at all. It even got hot so fast that it was a bit outrageous.

Given the information density of the script and the speed at which the plot develops, no one would have thought it strange that the heroine Rika's grandson was born in the tenth episode.

Noon the next day
The moment when the ratings of the first episode of Tokyo Love Story will be announced.

Although Su Yan and Shinozaki Yumi have experienced this kind of scene dozens of times.

But I still feel nervous.

Including Su Yan.

Before a drama is aired, he must believe that it will perform well and that its ratings will go high, crushing those of the same period.

But believing does not mean that you can be calm.

Just like the person who always gets the top score in the class, he must believe that he can get the top score this time, but when the results are announced, he will still be worried.

"5.02%"

Su Yan let out a long sigh when he saw the message sent from the Hudu area.

After Su Yan's voice spread, almost everyone in the crew was stunned.

"5.02%?" Shinozaki Ikumi was a little bit unbelievable.

"Why is it so high?"

Tokyo Love Story is just an A-level drama after all. Although it is produced with the highest standards among A-level dramas, the performance of its first broadcast can catch up with the performance of Edge of Tomorrow.

But when Shinozaki Ikumi thought about it carefully, she was able to figure out some clues.

Things are different now.

When Edge Walker was first aired, Su Yan's popularity and status in Xia Country were definitely not that high. Just like before the release of Your Name by Makoto Shinkai, even if The Garden of Words and 5 Centimeters per Second were good, without the support of capital and creators, their performances were mediocre.

But after Your Name, no matter how many flaws there are in the plots of Weathering With You and Bell & Bud's Journey, their performances are extremely good.

As a traditional romance drama, Tokyo Love Story shouldn't have had so many viewers just based on the first episode. Even if the ratings were to increase, they would have to rise after a few weeks of airing thanks to the high reputation of the work.

But Su Yan is very famous in Xia Country now.

Whether you are a human or a dog, a true fan or a hater, everyone will watch its premiere. Even Su Yan’s mortal enemy Akasaka Yoshitoki sat at home last night and watched the entire first episode of East Love, and then was so depressed that he couldn’t sleep all night.

"We are no longer the same as we were two years ago."

Su Yan looked at Shinozaki Yumi's eyes with slightly dark circles and smiled.

"We are now the kings of traffic in Xiaguo's TV industry. As long as I don't create a flop and consume my reputation in Xiaguo's TV drama community, my works will receive far more attention than other screenwriters and colleagues when they are broadcast."

Of course, only for the first broadcast.

The audience's curiosity about Su Yan is limited to the first episode. If the first episode fails to capture their hearts, they will definitely not follow the show in the second week.

But Su Yan is extremely confident about Tokyo Love Story.

From the first episode to the last, this drama has explosive highlights almost every week.

If fans thought the first episode was exaggerated enough, then from then on until the end of the show, fans will feel an even stronger emotional impact every week than the first episode.

"Alright." Su Yan clapped his hands, attracting the attention of everyone in the crew.

"Today we have finished filming the sixth episode of Tokyo Love Story. In the afternoon we will catch up on the progress of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. In the evening, I will treat everyone to a celebration party for the launch of the show, and then we will take a hot spring bath. Our company has been established for more than a year, and we have not distributed year-end bonuses. In the evening..." Su Yan looked at everyone.

"Everyone has it!"

Su Yan is now receiving about 1.8 million yuan in profits from Edge Walker into his company's account.

The Garden of Words had a total box office of 5.3 million, and Su Yan's company received more than 2 million in box office dividends.

With money in his pocket, Su Yan naturally became generous.

As the second largest shareholder of the company, Su Yan gave Shinozaki Yumi a one-time dividend of more than 10 million yuan.

Of course, it is impossible to distribute all the company's profits to Su Yan and Shinozaki Yumi. Not only is the tax deduction high, but a portion of the money must also be reserved in the company's account for the filming of Madoka Magica and Aoi.

And the expenses of the large crew of hundreds of people in front of Su Yan
Since the profit margin of the works produced is so high, Su Yan will not treat his subordinates unfairly.

When they heard about the bonus, people in the company's eyes lit up.

"Long live the boss."

"Teacher Su Yan is so handsome!"

"Dimension Films is number one in Xia Country!"

Everyone in the crew was completely excited.

Shen Liqian and Gu Qingyuan, who were standing next to Su Yan, felt this atmosphere and began to relax.

"Qingyuan, you don't look disappointed at all." Shen Liqian walked to Gu Qingyuan's side at this time.

"Many people on the Internet object to the character of Sekiguchi Satomi."

"It's an actor's ability to make a character popular, but the same is true to make a character hated by others," Gu Qingyuan said softly.

"For me, no matter what, I think it's good. At least the audience paid attention to the role I played. On the contrary, if no one likes or hates the character I played after the TV series is broadcast, it proves that my performance has failed."

Shen Liqian stared at Gu Qingyuan for a long time, then she sighed.

Although she and Gu Qingyuan are in direct competition.

Now in the Xia country market, her fans, Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan's fans have united together and can be called the largest CP fans in Xia country's film and television circles.

Su Yan also understood this point. Whenever he wrote a script, the first thing he considered was whether the characters in the script were suitable for the three of them to play.

As long as three people participate, the script basically has a large audience base.

Therefore, she and Gu Qingyuan are the biggest rivals in this three-person CP.

But she really couldn't hate Gu Qingyuan's personality.

She is open and aboveboard, not without scheming, but she never bothers to resort to scheming.

Although she is indeed trying to curry favor with Su Yan, she will not do that for no reason, and she will immediately play any role Su Yan assigns her.

Although she is already a top actress in Xia Country, she will never use this as an excuse to bargain with Su Yan for preferential treatment in scripts and roles.

Perhaps it is because of this that Su Yan has been cooperating with her since his debut.
"Congratulations, Li Qian." Gu Qingyuan looked up at Shen Li Qian.

"Teacher Su Yan told me that the role of Akana Rika will definitely raise your popularity to a higher level. Much higher than it is now."

"They are the same." Shen Liqian looked at Su Yan.

"It won't be long before Su Yan brings you to the same position."

"Why do you think so?" Gu Qingyuan asked after a pause.

"That's what I feel. He has the ability, and he is willing to do it." Shen Liqian said.

"After all, you and he have been working together since the first drama he filmed. As one of the few friends he recognizes, your position in his heart is definitely higher than mine. You are probably only second to his partner Ms. Shinozaki Ikumi!"

"Fortunately, Ms. Shinozaki Ikumi is not an actor, but just a producer." Shen Liqian chuckled when she heard this.

Gu Qingyuan thought about it after hearing this and did not refute.

Because it is obvious that in the entire crew, Su Yan will respect Shinozaki Yumi's opinions in everything he does.

In the company, Su Yan is patient with everyone and will not get angry even if things go wrong, but he never objects to anyone that Shinozaki Yumi suggests firing.

But there are no ifs in the world.

She and Shen Liqian are the two people that Su Yan is currently promoting.

It can be expected that this pattern will not change in the coming period of time.
