Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 187 Progress
Monday afternoon, inside Sakura TV.

"It's over!"

"The second episode of Madoka Magica has a viewership rating of 5.2%."

"Will Minister Akasaka really be fired by the board of directors?"

"I don't know. Don't discuss issues that shouldn't be discussed."

"How come Su Yan is so amazing? Did he really work as a handyman in the screenwriting department for two years?"

"Ikumi Shinozaki, the most popular actress in Xiaguo's TV drama industry. She is now a very successful producer, but she has only done two things right in her life. She pulled Su Yan out of the pile of newcomers in the scriptwriting department, and then she resigned from Sakura TV together with Su Yan."

"At least eight or nine producers in the station are regretting their decision now. All those years ago, Su Yan's script for Rurouni Kenshin was handed to their offices, but these people were not willing to spend half an hour to read Su Yan's script."

"Not to mention these producers, even Akasaka Yoshitoki is regretting it now."

"Isn't it normal for the director of the production department to be unhappy with any newcomer in the stands and suppress him? He is just unlucky to have met a freak like Su Yan who only appears once in a century."

"There is no other way. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. There is no medicine for regret in the world. He must now bear the first blame for letting a genius like Su Yan escape."

"Do you think Minister Akasaka still has a chance to turn things around?"

"I guess not. It's been so long since Su Yan left the TV station. The station spent hundreds of millions of dollars and produced many works in an attempt to win the annual championship. In the end, they didn't even win the quarterly championship. Every time, they were hindered by Su Yan's works. The board of directors is now very angry with Akasaka Yoshitoki. Someone has to be held responsible for the drop in stock prices. Anyway, it all depends on the last two months. Let's see if the drama "Wushuang" can make a comeback in the later stage."

"It's difficult! Su Yan's works are famous for their late-stage efforts. Now they can't even compete in the early stages, how about late stages? It's better to learn from Shanghai Metropolitan Television. They know it's hard to win the season championship, so they just take it easy this season."

"That can't be helped. Minister Akasaka is forcing the issue. He has no say in this matter."

Akasaka Yoshitoki sat in the chair, a little dazed.

Although he didn't hear people on TV talking about him in person, he knew what they would probably say.

He didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment.

There is still a chance before the spring season ends in April.

But unfortunately, the feeling of despair has already spread in people's hearts, in the production department, and within Sakura TV.

Some of his producers have already started contacting Aya Kozekida, wanting to switch to her camp.

An atmosphere of impending storm hung over Akasaka Yoshitoki's heart.

Looking at the document showing that the second episode of Madoka Magica had a viewership rating of over 5.2%, even though his life motto was to never regret the past, it was difficult for him to maintain his mentality now.

"I have worked hard for decades to achieve my current success. Why do you deserve that?" Yoshitoki Akasaka slammed his fist on the table.

He knew he was a little bit impotent and furious, but if he didn't vent it, he would lose control of his emotions and feel sick and want to vomit.
How could there be such people in this world!

Starting from Tuesday, while the discussion of Magical Girl Madoka Magica has increased significantly due to the plot of the Headless Senior.

Su Yan also began to release some movie news about 5 Centimeters per Second on the official website and major platforms.

Actors’ makeup photos, scenery pictures, shooting highlights, etc.

Although there are still three months before the movie is released, related promotions can also begin. The only difference is that the intensity will not be as great.

At the same time, because Su Yan had less filming work, he also had plenty of time to answer reporters' questions.

During the process, Su Yan will also promote 5 Centimeters per Second and Love Like a Bouquet, but this week, Su Yan's fans also learned a lot about the drama Puella Magi Madoka Magica from Su Yan's fan meeting and press interviews.

Mami will appear again in the subsequent plot.

Homura Akemi is not a bad person.

The plot of this drama will subvert everyone's cognition later on.

Also, making a wish is omnipotent, but to what extent it is omnipotent depends on the qualifications of the person who wants to become a magical girl.

And
Is this drama ultimately depressing?

Su Yan made it clear that the ending was very happy.

Su Yan's words were ambiguous, but many viewers felt relieved after hearing them.

Just don't be depressed.

As for Su Yan's answer, he didn't lie.

Mami Tomoe will indeed appear later, but in another world line in Homura Akemi's memories.

There are also related plots in the story of Rebellion.

And because the story of rebellion was introduced into the plot, the final ending is that everyone lives in a false world constructed by Homura Akemi.

This is of course a happy ending.

A false happy ending is still a happy ending!

As for the viewing experience, that's not important.

It's Friday.

The third episode of Wushuang has begun airing, but the increase in ratings has weakened.

The ratings for this episode were 5.15%, which was almost the same as last week. The media in Xia Country was no longer restrained at this time, and the matter between Su Yan and Akasaka Yoshitoki was brought up again.

There is no way around it. No matter how many times this kind of face-slapping thing in real life is mentioned, it will always attract huge attention.

He was suppressed as soon as he debuted and was forced to leave his old employer by his leader. Now that he has made some achievements, he is suppressing the performance of his former leader and is almost forcing him to step down.

TV drama fans all over the country naturally have a strong sense of involvement with Su Yan's experiences in recent years.

They all viewed the increasing ratings of Madoka Magica and the feud between Su Yan and Akasaka Yoshitoki with a humorous attitude.

But in the end.
As it stands now, it looks like the farce will come to an end this quarter.

After all, no matter how you look at it, the gap between "Musou" whose ratings have been growing slowly since the third episode and "Magic Flower" which is on the rise will become larger as time goes by.

On Sunday, the comments section of Puella Magi Madoka Magica became active again.

In the evening, the third episode was successfully aired.

This episode did not have any unexpected developments like the second episode.

But in this episode, the character that thousands of viewers have been looking forward to, Kamijou Kyosuke, played by Su Yan, made his debut.

A teenager who had to be hospitalized for a long time due to illness, could no longer play the violin, and had to leave the path of music.

But, Sayaka likes him.

From the moment this character appeared, the audience of Madoka Magica knew what wish Sayaka wanted to make when she became a magical girl.

The subsequent plot was indeed just as everyone had guessed.

A crisis breaks out in the city, and Sayaka makes a wish to make Kamijou Kyousuke's illness disappear, and becomes a magical girl.

He saved the boy he had a crush on.

He also saved his best friend Madoka who was caught in a witch's barrier in a critical moment.

[Ms. Mami, my wish has come true! 】

At the end of the third episode, Sayaka looked at the disappearance of her pain with a happy smile, and Kamijo Kyosuke, played by Su Yan, played the violin piece again.

Although the impact of the headless senior sister plot in the second episode has not yet been eliminated in this episode.

But the general trend seems to be returning to normal and joy.

Sayaka's blue transformation.

The cool posture of a magical girl, the heroic battle, the unregretful smile.

Just
"Is Su Yan the thief playing with his own joke? The character design of Kamijou Kyousuke is too similar to Miyazono Kaoru, isn't it? Isn't it just Miyazono Kaoru's background directly applied to Kamijou Kyousuke?"

"A genius screenwriter can also be lazy! The same genius violinist, the same ALS-like symptoms, but in this drama, Kamijou Kyousuke has Sayaka make a wish for him and regains his health at the cost of becoming a magical girl. In April, Miyazono Kaoru is pure metaphysics!"

"Maybe April's drama and Puella Magi Madoka Magica's drama share the same worldview! Maybe there's someone who has a crush on Kaoru Miyazono who made this wish, which allowed her to successfully stand up in the if-line ending."

"Miyazono Kaoru is a woman!"

“Don’t be so narrow-minded!”

“But to be honest, I was very touched when I saw the character played by Su Yan. Your Lie in April has been aired for almost two years!”

"This character immediately reminded me of when I was watching the drama in April, oh well."

"But I have a question. If there really is an opportunity, an opportunity to fulfill all wishes. The price is to become a magical girl. Would it really be that simple?"

"What do you mean?"

"Generally speaking, there is a price to pay for fulfilling a wish! And can becoming a magical girl really be called a price? Isn't it a reward?"

"That's right, becoming a magical girl and gaining enormous power, how can that be called the price of making a wish? This setting by old thief Su Yan is very strange. If it were me, even if I wasn't given the opportunity to make a wish, I would still want to be a magical girl."

"Emmm, but fighting a witch is dangerous!"

"Anyway, I feel it's weird. I feel like there must be something missing in the magical girl setting. Otherwise, Homura Akemi wouldn't have repeatedly reminded Madoka not to become a magical girl."

"Anyway, let's just keep watching. I also feel that this drama of Lao Zei is not that simple. At first I thought it was just an ordinary superpower drama, but now I find that it is completely different from what I imagined."

"At least the old thief said in an interview that Tomoe Mami will appear in the show later, and it will also have a happy ending. As long as I know this clearly, I won't panic at all!"

The next day, the ratings for the three episodes of Puella Magi Madoka Magica were announced.

5.26%
Compared with the second episode of this drama, the increase in ratings is actually very average.

After all, the plot pace of the third episode is a bit slow, and the story only stays at the point where Madoka and Sayaka are confused because of Mami Tomoe's death.

There are also fighting scenes that the audience likes.

But the main focus is on Sayaka.

The two most popular characters in this work, Homura Akemi played by Gu Qingyuan and Shen Liqian played by Shen Liqian, basically did not have much performance in this episode.

But for Su Yan, the ratings of his work did not rise as expected, so the media and the haters all found it funny.
