Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 171 Progress and Public Opinion

With Su Yan's current influence, the news released on the official website of Dimension Film and Television Company was widely reported by a news media on the homepage of the online broadcasting platform within less than half a day.

Su Yan's fans and colleagues in the film and television industry all felt funny at this time.

Su Yan, is he really a human?

Anyone who works in this industry has more or less come into contact with the work of screenwriters or witnessed the working conditions of screenwriters.

Creation is extremely painful, and a movie only takes two hours for the audience to watch.

But to create their scripts, most screenwriters have to work for months. For some screenwriters who strive for perfection, sometimes it takes several days to finish a line of character dialogue.

There is no doubt that Su Yan's scripts can be called masterpieces, but how does Su Yan manage to make his works both high-quality and productive?

You launched the production plan for the two films while writing the scripts for East Love and Madoka Magica and participating in the performances.

Can you be so inspired when writing a script of this level?

"A bit perverted."

"Two more romance movies?"

"Is it the same type of work as The Garden of Words?"

"It seems so. The name of Love Like a Bouquet suggests this kind of theme, but 5 Centimeters per Second? Hmm, a racing movie?"

"I'm not good at math, what is five centimeters per second?"

"180 meters per hour."

"This snail? It seems to have nothing to do with racing!"

"Don't think about Su Yan's work, just support him when the time comes."

"I haven't even figured out Tokyo Love Story yet, but Puella Magi Madoka Magica has already been announced to start airing next April, and two more movies are being produced. This is really a bit scary."

"Isn't it good to be productive? Talented people are productive so that we drama fans won't be short of dramas. Don't be like some screenwriters who become famous with one work, then wait for three to five years before finally releasing the second work, and then we follow it with great expectations, only to end up with a huge pile of work after three to five years!"

“But the creation speed is so fast, I’m worried that the quality will decline!”

"Huh? I actually think Life is Strange, the worst of Su Yan's works, is pretty amazing. Don't think about this kind of question."

"Until Su Yan actually creates a piece of shit, my expectations for any new drama from him will be fairy grass."

"Fast creation speed has nothing to do with low quality. It's just that a bunch of mediocre people like to use this reason as an excuse. In the last century, a lot of movies that took one or two months from script creation to filming and release are still regarded as classics. On the contrary, many movies nowadays are polished with painstaking efforts for two or three years, but when they are released, they are just a pile of shit and disgusting."

"I don't have any requirements for these two movies of Lao Zei. As long as they are of the quality of The Garden of Words, I will support them by watching them at least three times."

"Speaking of which, Su Yan's reputation has changed so quickly! Yesterday, a lot of people were criticizing him because of the plot of Tokyo Love Story, but today they are all discussing news about his new movie?"

"Need I say this? People are not stupid. There are many people who scold Su Yan, but have you ever seen anyone scolding Su Yan for being a bad boy? They all scold him for torturing the protagonist in the plot and having a bad taste! If he really releases a new work, there will still be many people looking forward to it."

The news about the two movies, Bouquet of Love and 5 Centimeters per Second, really caused heated discussions in Xiaguo for several days.

But only there.

This season, Su Yan's fans are most concerned about Tokyo Love Story.

In just a few days, a group of viewers' attention returned to the show.

Tokyo Love Story Season 8 premieres on Sunday.

In fact, starting from the fifth episode, Tokyo Love Story is a plot that plays an extreme balance between the four main characters.

Although Mikami is a sea king, he is sincere to Rimi.

Before he got together with Rimi, he had a crush on Nagasaki Naoko, who was at the same school as him, so when Nagasaki Naoko approached him during his relationship, he was indeed unable to resist.

But at least, he did not cheat on her during the relationship, nor did he do anything that overstepped the boundaries with Nagaki Naoko.

It's just that Satomi herself lacked confidence and did not accept the previous ambiguity between Mikami and Nagasaki Naoko, so she took the initiative to break up.

After she broke up with Mikami, she went to Nagao for comfort.

Although it is not explicitly stated that Nagao and Rika want to break up, Rika senses Nagao's hesitation, and Rika, who is naturally insecure, breaks out a trust crisis with Nagao. The plot begins with a cycle of the two mending their relationship and then a trust crisis breaks out again.

From an objective point of view, some of the plot is repetitive.

But the problem is that the drama portrays the character of Rika too well.

The vast majority of viewers have little resistance to such a development.

As long as you put yourself in Rika's perspective in the play, your emotions will go on a roller coaster ride along with what Rika goes through.

And strictly speaking.
The train scene in Makoto Shinkai's 5 Centimeters per Second was most likely inspired by the scene where Rika and Nagao had a quarrel in the eighth episode of Tokyo Love Story.

On both sides of the same road, the same Rika and Nagao were looking at each other across the tracks, and the same train was passing by.

The only difference is that the audience understands that after the 5 Centimeters per Second train passes by, the hero and heroine will never see each other again in this life.

As for East Love, the audience knows that Rika is just angry.
She loves Nagao so much that even if he leaves in the eighth episode, she will continue to do her best to ensure their relationship continues in the ninth or tenth episode.

Of course, after this episode is over.

The scolding Su Yan encountered from Xia Guo fans was far greater than before.

After all, in this episode, his famous line to Rimi when she was feeling down [To me, you are still the object of my admiration that has not changed in my heart! ] directly made a bunch of viewers in Xiaguo stunned on the spot, and then their anger level exploded.

He actually said it.

In fact, everyone can see it.

Although Nagao and Rika are a couple, he still has an inseparable feeling for Rimi in his heart.

But the thing is, it's normal to have such feelings for Bai Yueguang, but you can't show it.

What would Rika do if her secrets were revealed?
In the previous plot, he was just indecisive.

But after this episode, the status of the protagonist Nagao Kanji in the show has been reduced to the lowest level in the hearts of the audience. However, corresponding to Su Yan being criticized, the ratings of Tokyo Love Story Episode 8 have climbed to a new height again.

5.54%.

In fact, Su Yan already knew which characters would be criticized and which characters would be liked after the show started airing.

The attitude of Dong Ai’s fans in the previous life says it all.

But for the drama Tokyo Love Story, it doesn’t matter even if all the main characters are hated by the audience, the ratings of this drama will definitely not drop.

As long as the character of Rika can maintain her personality, "East Love" will be an immortal love drama.

Su Yan and the audience in Xia Country were both very clear about this.

What is the reason that makes the audience keep watching this drama until now?

Everyone just wants to see Lixiang
In recent days, Su Yan has been fully armed and wrapped tightly whenever he goes out in Tokyo.

The same goes for Gu Qingyuan.

After the eighth episode was aired, the two characters of Nagao Kanji and Sekiguchi Satomi topped the blacklist of male and female characters in Xiaguo's film and television with a crushing advantage!

In the Tokyo area, some fanatical fans who can't stand the plot have started to come to the nearby area to cause trouble.

Fans in mainland China are more rational.

But the hot-blooded, middle school fans from the Sakurajima area have already started holding signs and protesting outside various crews, demanding that Su Yan not hurt Akaname Rika in the upcoming plot.

The media and drama critics in Xia country have also started to watch the show.

The drama "East Love" is really a hot topic.

It's a miracle that a drama that portrays the male lead and the second female lead in such an image did not suffer a decline in ratings and reputation, but only the screenwriter and actors were severely criticized.

The plot of each episode is very topical.

Including every line of the characters and the rhythm of the plot, outsiders think that the two characters of Satomi and Nagao created by Su Yan are annoying. But the screenwriters in the same field are studying them with a magnifying glass.

In this atmosphere, the ninth episode of Tokyo Love Story was aired.
The eldest daughter, Qi Naoko, who was about to marry her fiancé under the arrangement of her parents, took the initiative to find Mikami just before the engagement.

Rika obtained the qualification to work abroad and hoped that Nagao would keep her, but Nagao replied, "It's too heavy for me to decide your life!"

And when Nagao and Satomi were both feeling down, they actually comforted each other and staged a wave of joy of "you know my heart, I understand your intention".

In fact, when Su Yan watched the Eastern Love TV series to this point in his previous life, he had already cursed the male lead Nagao and the female lead Satomi in his heart.

What's more, at the end of this episode, Nagao chose to cancel his date with Rika for Satomi, which made the audience even more angry.

If it were any other romance drama, and there was such a sad plot, Su Yan's first reaction would be to click the cross.

But it is the character of Rika that keeps him watching.

In fact, all the fans of Tokyo Love can follow this drama just to see Rika's ending.

But even so, this plot that tests the audience's bottom line still makes fans grit their teeth.

"No wonder Mikami, Satomi, and Nagao can become good friends, and no wonder Rika can't fit in with them. If they are not from the same family, they will not be able to enter the same door!"

"This drama reshaped my worldview. Other romance dramas tell you that true love is invincible and that as long as there is true love, all difficulties can be overcome. But Tokyo Love Story tells me that everything will change. Only a silly girl like Rika will firmly like Nagao, while other people in the drama change their hearts faster than I eat!"

“What a realistic love drama!”

"At the beginning of this drama, I thought Mikami was the worst of the three. But now, I find that Mikami is the best. Although he is a sea king, he has a bottom line. Satomi and Nagao definitely have a lower bottom line than Mikami!"

"Go to hell, Rimi. Nagao was ready to go out and reconcile with Rika, but this idiot told him not to go."

"Women are more resolute than men at critical moments. The moment Nagao left, Satomi knew that this was the decisive stage between her and Rika. If she could keep Nagao here, she would win. If Nagao chose to meet Rika, she would be the loser. Satomi won."

"So in this drama, Satomi won? I'm so angry!"

"Not necessarily. There may be a plot twist later. After all, Eastern Love will end in eleven episodes, and this is only the ninth episode. But I have to say that this episode is Rika's darkest moment!"

"Otherwise, how come Mikami and Rika get along so well? Even though these two are not interested in each other, the nature of their relationship is that they both know clearly that everyone has a bottom line, and it's not low."

"My whole family watched episode nine tonight and we just laughed out loud."

"You can curse them, but in all these years, Xiaguo has never produced a more classic romance drama than East Love. This is the first time I've watched a drama and found that it has so many hot topics of discussion every week. From Monday to Sunday, there are millions of people criticizing the characters online every day."

"Did the old thief Su Yan set up the plot like this on purpose?"

"Need I say more? People in the screenwriting industry will understand how amazing it is to be able to arrange such a high-information plot in a 40-minute plot, with each episode being so unexpected and each episode contributing famous lines. I used to think that Su Yan's dramas were just so-so, but I am really impressed by Dong Ai."

"So many screenwriters can't figure out how to write a love triangle. East Love has mastered the pentagonal love plot. To put it bluntly, each character in this drama has a lot of depth. Every character has people who criticize them, but if you analyze them carefully, you will understand that each character's behavior has its logic and is pitiful."

"Oh, maybe this drama will make Rika think things through and break up with Nagao. In fact, a happy ending doesn't necessarily mean the hero and heroine are together. A happy ending is when the protagonists gain peace of mind. It makes me sad to think that such a good girl like Rika likes a guy like Nagao!"

"But Li Xiang's character is like this, infatuated. If she could give up, she would not be herself anymore."

"The only stable performer in this drama is Mikami. In this episode, he slept with Nagaki Naoko again. I don't even want to complain about it anymore."

“The most stable character in the whole show. His personality never changes from beginning to end!”

"This is the first time I admire Aquaman so much. I can only say that there are too many abnormal characters in this drama, which makes Aquaman lovable."

"Question Mikami, understand Mikami, become Mikami!"

“It’s so cool to put this drama into Mikami’s perspective!”

"It's damn true!"

"You guys' comments made me laugh."

"From the current plot, I feel that Nagao and Rika are definitely going to break up."

"Not necessarily. The change of thought of these characters in this drama only takes a moment. Before the ending comes out, everything is unknown!"
