Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 189 Public Opinion and Undercurrent

After the fourth episode of the TV series Puella Magi Madoka Magica was aired, the entire Su Yan fan group went wild that night.

Those who thought the drama was a cheerful, harmonious one about justice triumphing over evil were stunned.

"What the hell? What's the plot tonight?"

"Wait, my mind is confused. Why did the plot suddenly develop in such a dark and bizarre direction?"

"My daughter burst into tears tonight. I immediately returned the genuine Kewpie doll I bought online."

"Why is Su Yan's play set up like this?"

"Isn't this too perverted? The essence of a magical girl is to become a stone in exchange for making a wish?"

"Where are all the people who said they wanted to be magical girls a few weeks ago? Come out!"

"Didn't old thief Su Yan say that this drama isn't depressing? If it isn't depressing, becoming a magical girl is a tragedy in itself."

"And I don't think this plot is right. Does Kamijou Kyousuke, played by Su Yan, really like Sayaka? Could it be that Sayaka is just being sentimental and moving herself?"

"Yes, Sayaka wanted to make her childhood sweetheart better at the cost of becoming a magical girl. But he didn't know that his health improved because of Sayaka. But now, what should Sayaka do! She has become a monster, is there any development between her and Kamijou Kyousuke?"

"If it were me, I would be completely stunned. A good magical girl turned into a monster."

"I don't think it makes any difference! Even though the soul has turned into a soul crystal, isn't it still the same body?"

"How can it be no different? When you are sitting in the driver's seat and driving, do you feel like you are a car? When you control the human body through the soul crystal, do you feel like you are a human being?"

"I'm so surprised. It does seem different when you put it that way."

"This episode of Su Yan, the old thief, is so incomplete that it really makes me depressed."

"Brothers, I have a bad feeling. I feel like this drama is going to go in a dark and cruel direction as it develops."

"If you take away the feelings, this drama will definitely go in a dark and cruel direction."

"What about what old thief Su Yan said before that this drama will have a happy ending?"

"What else can I say? He just tricked us, the audience, into coming in like pigs, and then killed us with one blow."

“It has changed my mindset when watching dramas. Magical girls and happy endings, this drama feels wrong. Don’t be paralyzed by the theme song and the camera style. I have a feeling that this drama will get even bigger later!”

"Su Yan, you better not show up these days!"

As expected, fans became visibly excited after the fourth episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica aired.

The number of views of the setting collection of Puella Magi Madoka Magica on the official website of Dimension Pictures has skyrocketed.

Last week, many media outlets that were still questioning Puella Magi Madoka Magica quietly deleted their previously published articles.

It seems like something is not right.

The temperature in Tokyo was getting warmer at this time, and after the filming of 5 Centimeters per Second was completed, the only thing left in the entire company that needed to be filmed was the bouquet of love.

The company's workload was greatly reduced, and Su Yan's work and rest schedule returned to normal.

All kinds of copyright income from Tokyo Love Story in China and overseas regions have been arriving one after another. After nearly 300 to 400 million yuan of funds entered the company's account, the company's capital chain, which had been operating somewhat unsmoothly, also resolved the small crisis.

Su Yan also bought a villa in Tokyo in the name of the company as his residence.

After getting up, washing, eating breakfast and driving to his office in Tokyo, a pile of documents were already placed in his office and needed his review and signature.

These are all some of the companies' collaboration projects and grant plans for the next few months.

Su Yan's partner, Shinozaki Ikumi, was wearing a black dress and had already started working at her seat.

She had a lot of things that needed to be communicated with Su Yan in real time, so their offices were set up directly next to each other.

"Are you here?" Shinozaki Ikumi glanced at Su Yan.

"You've been so lazy lately! You only come to the company at this hour."

"Since I'm not directly participating in the performance, the workload is much less, so the schedule doesn't have to be as crowded as before." Su Yan smiled, then sat down in his seat and looked through the documents on the table.

"The post-production special effects of Puella Magi Madoka Magica are almost complete. The post-production editing of 5 Centimeters per Second has also begun, and we also have a general idea of ​​the competing movies to be released during the summer season." Shinozaki Ikumi reported some key content to Su Yan while working.

"If our goal is to win the summer box office championship, then starting from June, you have to start showing your face on a large scale and cooperate with the creators of 5 Centimeters per Second and Flower Love to start promoting the two movies."

"Okay, I understand." Su Yan quickly looked through the document and signed at the key points one by one.

"And more." Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan.

"Auntie Kosakida Aya from Sakura TV has contacted me. She talked to me for a long time yesterday. The general meaning is...if Akasaka Yoshitoki steps down as the director of the Sakura production department, are we willing to cooperate with Sakura TV in the future?"

When Shinozaki Ikumi said this, she actually felt a little uneasy.

Her words showed hatred for Yoshitoki Akasaka, but she did not have any big opinions about her former employer, Sakura TV.

She also has great respect for Ozekida Aya.

As long as Puella Magi Madoka Magica continues to crush Warriors this season, a production director who, no matter how hard he works during his term, can only make his station's heavily invested works rank second, will have no meaning for the TV station.

After Akasaka Yoshitoki stepped down, there is a 90% chance that Ozekida Aya will take over.

The situation she faces is the same as Yoshitoki Akasaka's. How can she boost the station's performance?
Are you going to continue competing with Su Yan?

How is it possible that in the current TV drama industry in Xia Country, who dares to say that they can compete with Su Yan's works under fair competition?

Xiao Guantiancai's idea is of course to win over Su Yan. Su Yan can cooperate with Zhongxia TV, why can't he cooperate with Sakura TV?
Su Yan heard this and thought for a moment.

To be honest, he and Zhongxia TV are now cooperating very well, but the two sides are basically just dealing with interests and there is not much friendship between them.

But Ozekida Aya is still different, if she really drove Akasaka Yoshitoki away.

Since she had helped Su Yan obtain investment for his debut works, it was difficult for Su Yan to refuse her request. Moreover, he also knew the relationship between Shinozaki Ikumi's mother and Ozekida Aya.

Ikumi Shinozaki rarely interferes with Su Yan's decisions on the general direction of the company's development, but since she took the initiative to say this, her attitude is very clear.

She still hoped that Su Yan could cooperate appropriately with Xiao Guantian Cai.

Anyway, the three major TV stations, whoever they cooperate with is not a cooperation? As long as the annoying people disappear, it's fine.

However, there is a limit to repaying favors, and Su Yan would not give up too much of his own interests.

After all, he is now the chairman of Dimension Film and Television Company, and he has hundreds of employees waiting for him to support them.

"Well, let's wait until Akasaka Yoshitoki is really gone. Besides, Sakura TV has to be sincere in cooperating." Su Yan said with a smile.

"I understand." Shinozaki Ikumi knew what he was thinking as soon as she saw Su Yan's expression.

Su Yan would not say anything definite, but this ambiguous attitude basically shows that he does not refuse to cooperate with Sakura TV without Yoshitoki Akasaka.

"Thank you." Shinozaki Ikumi said after hearing this.

"What is there to thank me for? A cunning rabbit has three burrows. Zhongxia TV and I are not in a strategic relationship. Who knows if one day the two sides will have a conflict due to conflicts of interest? Cooperating with Sakura is a double insurance." Su Yan said with a smile.

"But the works produced by our company now basically have to rely on these large TV stations to broadcast, and I always feel a little restricted by others."

"It's just like making a movie. The producer, distributor, and theater chain are all three parties working together. This industry is all about mutual cooperation. Even the three major TV stations have times when they are unable to cope with the situation. They need to introduce works produced by private film and television companies to boost ratings." Shinozaki Ikumi knew what Su Yan was thinking.

"You don't have to worry about the three major TV stations joining together to boycott your work."

"With our current popularity in Xia Country, the Big Three TV stations' actions are only giving our former partners, such as Blue Sky TV, a bargain. If the Big Three unite, it won't take more than a year or two for us to find these TV stations for cooperation, and the Big Three's monopoly position will be completely torn apart. We know this, the Big Three TV stations know it, and the entire industry knows it."

"So, they don't dare!"

Before Su Yan's fame fully rose, he needed to rely on the traffic of the three major TV stations to promote his works.

But now, he and the three major TV stations have achieved mutual success.

Even if Su Yan broadcasts his works on Qingkong TV, how much will the ratings drop?
After all, for this group of TV drama fans, switching from the three major TV stations to other TV stations is just a matter of moving the finger and controlling the remote control for two seconds. The current Su Yan is still worth the majority of Xiaguo drama fans to make this operation for him.

Su Yan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case.

The conversation between the two was brief, and after they each worked in the company for a while, it was noon.

When the chef arranged by the company delivered the meals to the office, Su Yan's cell phone rang.

"5.39%" Su Yan said after a pause.

"The ratings for the fourth episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica."

"5.39%" Shinozaki Ikumi remained silent after hearing this.

Having already experienced the ratings of Dong Ai exceeding 6%, she is no longer surprised by the current ratings data.

But it still feels a bit dreamy.

Because according to this data trend, it is hard to say whether the drama Puella Magi Madoka Magica can compare with Love in Tokyo, but it is likely to surpass Rimwalker.

The ratings record that Xia Guo had not broken in the previous five years will be broken three times by Su Yan within a year.

Inside Sakura TV, the hope that Yoshitoki Akasaka had just ignited was completely extinguished by the results of the fourth episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

After Zhongxia TV announced the results, undercurrents began to surge within the entire Sakura TV.

It was quiet here at Akasaka Yoshitoki, but things were getting exciting at Ozekida Aya's place.

Many of Yoshitoki Akasaka's former confidants contacted her privately and began to tell her some explosive information about Yoshitoki Akasaka's past as minister and deputy minister.

As the director of the production department of such a large TV station, the capital inflow and outflow of filming TV dramas and producing major variety shows every year are calculated in billions. How could there not be some fishy stuff?

Everyone knows these things, but Akasaka Yoshitoki has indeed developed to this point now. Looking at the performance of Madoka Magica, who can believe that it will be surpassed by Dynasty Warriors later in the show?

These trusted subordinates of Akasaka Yoshitoki were prepared for a rainy day and submitted their letters of allegiance to Ogideka Aya in advance.

It is impossible for the outside world to know about the internal turmoil at Sakura TV, and the news media are just reporting some groundless stories as usual.

On Friday, the fifth episode of Wushuang will be aired.

The ratings were 5.18%.

This ratings data basically shattered Sakura TV's hopes of reaching the top.

From the TV industry to the media, most people no longer regard the show Warriors 2 as a threat to Madoka Magica.

Even on Saturday, among the TV series popularity statistics from the entire network, even on that day, the popularity of "Wushuang" did not exceed that of "Madoka Magica".

Although the ratings of Wushuang are extremely good.

But ranking second means it is the biggest loser of the quarter.

Saturday passed quickly and it was Sunday again.
