Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 193 Discussion
The sixth episode is the most depressing episode since the show started airing, and it is also the most controversial episode since the show started airing.

That night, the two actors Tang Dongxue and Wada Haruka, who played Sayaka and Sakura Kyoko, topped the trending searches on major film and television websites.

The official website of Ciyuan Films also released a pre-recorded interview video of the two actors. They talked about their understanding of the two characters, and also thanked Su Yan for giving them the opportunity to participate. And their understanding of the death of the two characters.
There was a sentence in it that went viral on the fan group and forum that evening.

[If the fate of magical girls is to become witches, their dream is to eliminate evil and bring world peace. Then self-destruction before the end of their lives is their happiest ending! ]

Fans of Madoka Magica were already in a state of collapse, and now, their defenses were completely broken.

There was a constant stream of criticism against Su Yan.

"Su Yan, you old thief, come out here!"

"Are you sick in the head? Wouldn't a normal screenwriter have Madoka wake up the witch that Sayaka has transformed into by calling out to her? How can you be so cruel!"

"Damn, I shouldn't have trusted that old thief. He's just a pervert who enjoys torturing his fans."

"Who still remembers the comments before this drama was aired? It's for young audiences and children. Su Yan is entering the children's market! I can't stop laughing at home now!"

"I have been silent since I watched episode 6. It's so painful!"

"It turns out that this drama is not a drama with two female protagonists, Shen Liqian and Gu Qingyuan, but a drama with a group of characters! Since the beginning of the show, I feel that Sayaka and Sakura Anzi have had more roles than these two."

"I had misunderstood Tang Dongxue before. I always thought she was just a vase variety show star who could sing a few songs. And Wada Haruka, I always thought her acting was poor. The performance of these two in this episode made me cry."

"What a great script! I can only say that old thief Su Yan is a fool, but his script really makes my scalp tingle."

"Magical girl, witch cow! It turns out that the homophonic pun is waiting for us here."

"How are we going to shoot the next few episodes? Are all the Five Colors Team members going to die?"

"The plot is now at a dead end. If Madoka doesn't become a magical girl, she won't have the power to solve the witch crisis. If she becomes a magical girl, she will become a witch sooner or later."

"Sometimes I really want to go to the old thief's house and take his head apart to see why he created all these plots?"

"For the viewing pleasure of the work, why else? Who would watch a work with a smooth plot? We may criticize him, but basically everyone still recognizes Su Yan's work. But we don't recognize him as a person. He is clearly capable of creating a happy world, but he always creates tragedies."

"Old thief, if you are reading this forum, please reflect on yourself. You said before that the ending would be a happy one. Don't break your promise!"

"I just gave up. I assumed that this drama would have a tragic ending. I just had to see what the old thief Su Yan could do next."

"I'm a little scared to keep watching. Next up will be Homura Akemi and Madoka, right?"

"Don't say that. Maybe there will be a twist later."

"I'm kind of looking forward to Homura Akemi's witch transformation."

"Heretic, get out of the forum. Is this human language?"

"I've jumped from looking forward to Madoka turning into a magical girl to looking forward to Madoka turning into a witch."

"Oh my god, I found out there are a bunch of perverts among Su Yan's fans. It's the same with every work. The more depressing the plot is, the more excited they are? Is this the top masochist?"

The next day at noon, the ratings for the sixth episode of Puella Magi Madoka Magica were announced.

5.56%.

As the plot becomes more and more outrageous, the ratings become more and more stable.

Although Su Yan encountered the biggest fan backlash since the broadcast of "Magic Circle", and his account was criticized so much that the official website issued a warning, the official website of Dimension Film and Television Company also temporarily collapsed because too many people criticized Su Yan.

But the final output of these talents is just to help Moyuan promote himself.

A large number of passers-by in Xiaguo will not hesitate whether to join the show because of these remarks.

They only look at one data point, which is the ratings.

on Monday
Su Yan has already handed over the preliminary scripts for the first few episodes of fz and the script for the movie version of Rurouni Kenshin to Shinozaki Ikumi.

Of course, Su Yan has two choices for the various heroes in fz. One is to directly apply the historical figures of the Xia Kingdom.

But that would mean too many changes to make, and it would be easy to introduce bugs.

So Su Yan chose another way and simply set the background to an imaginary world.

The Xia country market is also flooded with fictional history and fictional mythology dramas, and the audiences are basically accustomed to these things.

The history of the characters in fz only requires the official to release some setting collections, like Madoka Magica, to help the audience understand the concepts.

fz It was just that Shinozaki Ikumi couldn't see any problems with the scripts of the first few episodes, but the Rurouni Kenshin movie script that Su Yan took out really made her silent for a while.

Although it happened only three or four years ago, she still felt like it was a dream.

After all, in the beginning, she and Su Yan became famous thanks to Rurouni Kenshin.

"Is this a follow-up spin-off movie? Is it the story after Tomoe Yukishiro's death?" Shinozaki Ikumi asked. "Yes, that's right. It's the story of Kenshin choosing to give up his sword after the new era has arrived." Su Yan said.

Shinozaki Ikumi said as she quickly flipped through the script.

"Another tragedy?"

"How is that possible? I'm not a psychopath, and my works will not be all tragedies." Su Yan said with a smile.

"In the new movie, there will be a new heroine. And the plot is also an orthodox martial arts action genre."

"You're finally not going to create a tragedy?" Shinozaki Ikumi breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face when she heard that.

It’s not that I don’t do tragedies anymore, but I can choose not to do tragedies in my own works.

As for the fz extracted by the system, it is still a tragedy.

Su Yan's expression paused, but he didn't say what was in his mind.

"When the Rurouni Kenshin TV series was being filmed, we had no money and no people, but I think this work is actually a very promising subject, and the character of Kenshin Himura also has many points worth exploring. So after these few years, I have conceived its subsequent plot, and I plan to shoot this movie as soon as possible, and it will be released in the Spring Festival period in February next year. And the drama FZ is also scheduled to be broadcast in the winter period in January! Didn't you say before that you were going to cooperate with Sakura TV?" Su Yan looked at Shinozaki Ikumi.

"As for how to cooperate with this FZ drama, you can just go and discuss it with Minister Kosekida Aya."

After hearing this, Ikumi Shinozaki thought for a moment and began to understand what he meant.

Minister Ozekida Aya?

In other words, if Ozekida Aya is really promoted to the head of the production department, then we will cooperate.

If Sakura TV still insists on protecting Yoshitoki Akasaka, then forget it. Anyway, we are having fun working with Chuka TV.

and also
"Are you ready to compete for the Spring Festival period?" Shinozaki Ikumi quickly reacted.

"Yeah." Su Yan nodded.

There are actually two best time slots in the Xia country’s film industry.

Spring Festival and summer vacation.

Of course, this best refers to the upper limit of these two periods.

In Xia Country, the champion movie during the Spring Festival is generally the annual box office champion of Xia Country.

However, if the quality of the movies released during the summer season is high enough, there will be many box office hits.

But overall, the Spring Festival period not only has a high upper limit, but also a high lower limit.

Movies that can be released during the Spring Festival generally have a box office of at least 700 million to 800 million yuan.

"If you want to squeeze into this schedule, you have to," Shinozaki Ikumi said hesitantly.

"What?"

"It costs money. At least 100 million yuan for publicity and public relations. Of course, if 5 Centimeters per Second and Love Like a Bouquet are popular at the box office in July and August, and our company's strength is recognized, then everything will be easier to operate."

During a major release period like this, not every movie can be released whenever it wants.

A cinema is not a welfare home. It schedules films based on whether the work has the potential to make a profit.

If it is an unknown movie with a mediocre cast, would the theater owner allocate even one theater for this film during the Spring Festival period?

Therefore, if a movie wants to gain recognition from cinema chains and theater owners, it must do sufficient publicity and establish complete relationships before its release, only then will it be scheduled for screening and have box office success.

"Don't think too much about problems that can be solved with money." Su Yan said with a smile.

"Now is a critical moment for the development of our company. Since Rurouni Kenshin has chosen to be released during the Spring Festival, we don't have to worry about success or failure. We still have some financial resources for the time being."

"In other words, Su Yan, you have already confirmed that the film will be released during the Spring Festival, right?" Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan.

"Ah."

"I understand. I'll arrange it right away!" Shinozaki Ikumi said with a smile.

"You, the big boss, said so, what should I be afraid of? Besides, if Rurouni Kenshin can really be made to the quality of the previous TV series, it will definitely be a big hit during the Spring Festival."

In Xia country, there is no one in martial arts action movies who can have the skills of Su Yan.

As for Su Yan's action movie in the Spring Festival movie market, Shinozaki Ikumi doesn't believe that it will be unpopular.

"Well, now that we have both reached a consensus, the next step will be easy." Su Yan said.

"Let the employees in the company take a break first. During this time, I'll trouble you to work harder and finalize the budget as quickly as possible. Start the work on the new project as soon as possible."
