Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 185 Second Week

Although the ratings of the first episode of "Magic Circle" were exaggerated, they were also within the market's expectations.

If it was a new screenwriter, the slow-paced plot of the first episode of Madoka Magica would have a hard time getting ratings above 4% even if it was broadcast during prime time on the three major TV stations.

But Su Yan has been in this world for only a few years and has gained such a great fame. Although he did not participate in this drama, as a screenwriter, he is the biggest attraction of this work.

In addition, there is Shen Liqian, who is now one of the most popular female TV stars in Xia Country because of the role of Akaname Rika, and Gu Qingyuan, who has become a first-line actress in recent years for her role in Su Yan's hit dramas.

Popular idol singer Qiao Tianxi joins the cast as Tomoe Mami, second-tier actress Wada Haruka, Tang Dongxue plays Sayaka, and Sakura Kyoko who has yet to appear
The fan traffic associated with this drama is too huge, and the production level is absolutely top-notch in the Xiaguo TV drama market.

The media only casually mentioned this ratings result on Monday.

No one in the entire Xiaguo TV drama industry thought that this kind of thing was exaggerated for Su Yan.

The focus is on the second episode of this drama
But fans won’t think too much about it.

Compared to general TV dramas, the peripheral products of magical girl-themed works are undoubtedly the focus of profit.

It doesn’t mean that only anime fans will be interested in peripheral products. As long as the TV series and movies are well-filmed and popular, the costumes, props and peripheral products of the characters in the Xia Kingdom plane can also sell well.

As for the drama Madoka Magica, Su Yan has already started in-depth cooperation with relevant manufacturers for related clothing and peripherals.

Homura Akemi's magical girl transformation costume in the opening story.

The yellow magical girl transformation costume that Mami wore in the first episode is now available on the official website of Dimension Film and Television Company, major online shopping platforms in Xia Country, and the TV shopping program of Zhongxia TV Station.

A large number of Su Yan fans have already pre-ordered and have cosplayed the characters in the drama.

Related short videos swept the Internet.

Although the plot of the first episode of Madoka Magica developed slowly, with the support of a large creative team and a huge publicity campaign, it did not affect the popularity of this TV series in a very short time.

The second episode of Sakura TV's Musou premiered on Friday night.

As always, it was well received.

The ratings also rose to 5.14%.

But few people in the production department of Sakura TV were happy.

It didn’t even surpass the ratings of the first episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica, so how can it compete?

In the office, Yoshitoki Akasaka had a grim expression on his face and he wanted to call the Wushuang crew several times.

But in the end I endured it.

For an S-level drama, what else can you expect with a viewership rating of 5.14% in its second week?

Not to mention in today's era, even ten or twenty years ago, this achievement would have been worth celebrating.

The main creative members of Wushuang's crew have tried their best and they have reached the upper limit of their abilities.

Moreover, this is already the best TV drama team that Yoshitoki Akasaka can assemble, but if he still cannot compete with Su Yan, what can he do?
Yoshitoki Akasaka took a deep breath and thought about how Su Yan and his subordinates had ridiculed him in public during the Xia Yan Award.

Fists clenched.

Su Yan's upper limit has been proven through Dong Ai.

"You can't always be so good, right? You're always going to make a mistake once." Akasaka Yoshitoki gritted his teeth.

"It's absolutely impossible for anyone to win all the time. You've never failed in so many of your works, including Kenshin, Ancient Love Song, To the Moon, and so on. How can anyone accurately predict the market trend every time? If you're not cheating when flipping a coin, how can you always get the heads side? You should lose once in this Madoka Magica."

This kind of fate does not depend on oneself, but only on the mistakes made by the opponent, which makes Yoshitoki Akasaka feel disgusted.

What's more, the ratings ranking competition between "Wushuang" and "Madoka Magica" is also related to his position as minister.

Sakura TV suffered a disastrous defeat due to its repeated attacks on Su Yan. Although its performance did not decline too much, its reputation was greatly damaged, causing its stock price to suffer a setback.

He, Yoshitoki Akasaka, now has to take the blame.

This is his only chance to regain the board's trust.

The unparalleled popularity only lasted on Saturday.

On Sunday, the Xia country's film and television drama market was once again flooded with analysis posts on the plot setting of Magic Circle, as well as various selfie cosplay short videos.

Although the plot of this drama has not yet entered the main storyline, the images of major characters such as Shen Liqian and Gu Qingyuan have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the concept of magical girls has also spread.

In the evening, the ratings of Zhongxia TV soared again.

"coming."

"I've been waiting for the second episode for a week."

"I hope this episode will throw out the main plot. I still don't know what the final villain, enemy, and protagonist of this show will do."

"Well, is it possible that this is just a story about a group of girls getting together to fight an evil witch? Can't you just relax and not involve so many conspiracies? The main plot, the protagonist's life/goal, those don't matter."

"That's right, as long as the plot isn't too cruel, I don't care about the main plot!"

"Actually, isn't the highlight of this drama the transformations of these magical girls? Tomoe Mami's transformation is so beautiful, I can't wait to see Madoka, Sayaka, and Shizuku Hitomi's transformations."

"Shizuku Hitomi? From the official setting collection, it seems that she doesn't have that many scenes! Can she transform, too?"

"Maybe! It would be a shame if such a cute girl didn't transform."

"My biggest anticipation for this drama right now is the magical girl's transformation. It's a little perverted but I don't know why an 18-year-old boy likes to watch this kind of thing."

"Brother, you are not alone."

“I’m thirty-eight and I still like watching it!”

"Twenty-nine-year-olds also like magical girls."

"I strongly urge everyone to watch the mainland version of Madoka Magica and then go watch the Sakurajima version of Madoka Magica. The line "Horse Monkey Soju" is really catchy."

"The voice acting in the Sakurajima area is indeed good. Although the emotions are a bit richer, it somehow fits the style of Su Yan Lao Zei's work."

On the Internet, a large number of Su Yan fans were discussing in forums and fan groups to kill time, waiting for the second episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica to be aired. Finally, the time has come.

Chi Jingyan sat down steadily.

The cheerful and warm theme song of Magical Girl Madoka Madoka sounded.

After the theme song ends, the story enters the main line.

The plot continues from the previous episode, when Madoka, Homura, and Sayaka met naturally.

Before leaving, Homura Akemi once again hinted to Madoka not to become a magical girl.

Why doesn't Madoka become a magical girl?

And why do you always act as a riddle man?

Is there any danger in becoming a magical girl?

Well, it seems that fighting witches is indeed dangerous, but if no one stands up, who will destroy these invisible monsters?

Also, where does Homura Akemi's strange attitude towards Madoka come from?

Chi Jingyan smelled some subtle scent.

But the plot gave too little information to go on.

The camera pulls away, and in the distance, Mami looks at the three people calmly.

The next plot begins with Mami taking the two to fight witches in order to make them think seriously about whether or not to be magical girls. She lets them feel what kind of work it is and what kind of dangers there are. Only after thinking it through can they decide whether or not to become magical girls.

Chi Jingyan watched this plot very seriously.

Because in this drama, only the scenes involving witch battles have special effects shots with explosive picture quality.

And
"Tomoe is so strong!"

Watching Mami cutting melons and the vegetable chopper killing the witch in the plot, Chi Jingyan felt at ease.

Witch, nothing more than that.

To put it bluntly, in front of the magical girl, he is just a beast that screams louder!

Then in this process, Chi Jingyan gradually understood the setting of the drama.

After becoming a magical girl, you will have a soul gem as the source of power.

And every time the power is used, the Soul Gem becomes cloudy.

But after killing the witch, you can use the Seed of Sorrow dropped by the witch to evolve the Turbid Soul Gem.

ummm
So in fact, as long as you don't fight the witch and don't use the power of the magical girl, the Soul Gem will not become turbid.

Conversely, fighting a witch will make the gems turbid, but the spoils after victory will only clear out the turbidity.

From the perspective of just fighting the witch, there is no benefit at all. It's really just about generating energy for love and saving the world.

[Even if I am useless, if I can help others like that, it would be really gratifying! ]

When Madoka saw the handsome figure of Tomoe Mami, her eyes flashed with admiration.

The following plot is about a threesome between Madoka, Sayaka and Mami Tomoe.

They experienced the battle with the witch together, and Mami told her about her past where she wished to become a magical girl in order to survive.

Sayaka expressed her wish to make a wish to save another important person who has encountered misfortune in life.

[Sayaka-san, do you want his wish to come true, or do you want to be the benefactor who makes his wish come true? ]

Mami Tomoe's words made the topic heavy.

"Stop dithering and become a magical girl quickly! Why think so much? You might as well just make a wish for immortality for all mankind! Why are wishes always so narrow?" Chi Jingyan complained in her heart.

But after calming down, I realized that there was something wrong with my thinking.

It's said to be an omnipotent wish, but it's impossible for every wish to come true, right?

Otherwise, making a wish for the universe to explode is just nonsense. No matter how magical a TV show is, it is impossible to completely ignore science.

Madoka and Sayaka are confused, and late at night the rabbit Kyubey keeps persuading Madoka to become a magical girl.

He also said that if Madoka became a magical girl, she would be more powerful than Mami.

Of course, the specific degree of power depends on the wish made.

In Kyubey's words, Madoka has become the most qualified reserve magical girl he has ever seen.

"Uh, why is Xiaoyuan so special?" Chi Jingyan frowned.

Just because she is the heroine, she has the highest qualifications?
Can't figure it out.

As you continue watching, the plot is still about Madoka's daily family life, the threesome at school, and the confrontation between Mami and Homura at school because of Madoka.

Then, the plot unknowingly entered the second half of the second episode.

Because of the sudden attack, Sayaka entered the witch's barrier.

In order to save Sayaka, Madoka and Mami enter the witch's barrier together.

Of course, Homura Akemi was also involved in this process.

This girl, who was full of mysteries, was restrained by Mami as soon as she entered the barrier and was not allowed to cause any trouble.

Chi Jingyan became excited.

Although the plot has not yet seen Madoka transform into a magical girl, it doesn’t matter.

Mami's battle is also beautiful and handsome.
