Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 20 Results
In the crew of Rurouni Kenshin, taking advantage of the break in filming the fourth episode, Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan, Shinozaki Ikumi, and Shi Peihua all stared at the comments about Rurouni Kenshin on Sakura.com through their computers.

"Why did the number of views increase so much today? The result is much better than expected." Gu Qingyuan's usually cold expression was also filled with emotion.

"This means that Kenshin's reputation has spread." Shinozaki Ikumi was also a little stunned.

The 13 paid views on the first day of Jianxin actually exceeded her expectations. After all, the first-day paid views of these web dramas are about one-third of the first-week paid views, and the first-week paid views are about one-third of the total paid views.

In other words, the number of views on the first day of the first episode of a web drama multiplied by nine is roughly the total number of views for the first episode of the drama.

But this is an empirical estimate and is only accurate for works of average quality.

For a drama that is either great or terrible, any data trend is possible.

It is obvious that Kenshin’s reputation led to such an outrageous increase in the number of views on the second day of its release.

"The first episode received over 41 paid views in two days, with a rating of 9.2. Do you know what this means?"

Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan, and Shi Peihua.

Elderly person Shi Peihua does not understand the data value of online dramas.

Gu Qingyuan and Su Yan, one a student who just graduated and the other an old second dimension person who just traveled through time, were even more confused.

"Anyway, this data is no worse than when the first episode of "Qingfeng" was aired, with an investment of more than 10 million, sparks and lightning all the way, all kinds of relationships to protect it, and full website promotion." Shinozaki Ikumi's voice became a little gloating.

That's for sure. She was very upset about Qingfeng stealing Rurouni Kenshin's one million investment, and she was very angry.

If Qingfeng, which the station has high hopes for, ends up performing at the same level as Rurouni Kenshin, which cost one million yuan to produce, or even has a lower website rating than Rurouni Kenshin, then that uncle and nephew would be a real joke.

Su Yan pondered after hearing this.

"In other words, if Rurouni Kenshin continues on this path, his final result will be similar to Qingfeng's?"

"Rurouni Kenshin's current ratings and reputation are much higher than Seifuku, but in terms of the allocation of promotional resources, Rurouni Kenshin is far inferior to the original Seifuku. Judging from my experience, there is a high probability that the first volume of Rurouni Kenshin will have slightly worse first-week data than the first volume of Seifuku." Shinozaki Ikumi said after a pause.

"But the final performance of the two dramas does not depend on the first episode. There are many bad dramas in the history of Xiaguo that received rave reviews at the beginning but ended with a mess."

Shinozaki Ikumi felt a little guilty when she said this, and thought of the last drama she produced, Sakurajima Love Uta, so she changed her tone.

"We all know what the script is like. Rurouni Kenshin Episode 4 is absolutely heartbreaking and tragic. Will the audience be able to accept this kind of plot after it is broadcast? Will the market be able to tolerate it? No one knows."

“Perhaps Rurouni Kenshin will cause a sensation among fans after the show is broadcast due to the highly abusive plot in the fourth episode, which will boost Kenshin’s fame and sales. However, it is also possible that the highly abusive plot in the fourth episode will be hated and criticized by fans, and the reputation will collapse, causing the ratings and paid broadcast volume to plummet.”

Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan.

"The only thing I can be sure of is that after the fourth episode of Rurouni Kenshin is broadcast, it will be impossible to create such a plot with a smooth ending. Su Yan, you must be prepared to be bitten by the double-edged sword."

"In other words, Su Yan, you still have a chance to change the ending." Shi Peihua looked at Su Yan and made a suggestion.

"All the plots remain unchanged, including the scene where Tomoe Yukishiro blocks Kenshin's sword. But she is only seriously injured, not killed. After they recover from their injuries, they leave Kyoto, fight the political struggle on Sakura Island, live in the countryside, and don't care about anything. There is no more Battousai in the world."

"It is indeed the safest way to change the script. It may be a bit vulgar, but fans will definitely not make a big fuss." Shinozaki Ikumi thought about it and agreed.

Su Yan chuckled when he heard this and was about to speak.

"I don't think this is a good idea." Gu Qingyuan, who had been silent nearby, spoke at this time, her voice somewhat excited.

"why?"

There are no big names in this crew, and Shinozaki Yumi and Shi Peihua would not be dissatisfied with Gu Qingyuan's sudden words, but just looked at her curiously.

"No reason. Tomoe Yukishiro's death was the finishing touch that completely saved Kenshin from the abyss of killing. Her death was not meaningless."

"If Kenshin gave up his ideals and no longer wanted to rely on his sword to save those who were suffering, but instead became a turtle hiding in the countryside and living a personal life with Tomoe Yukishiro, then what would be the difference between Kenshin and other numb people in the story? Whether it's Kenshin or Tomoe Yukishiro, the character charm has dropped from 100 points to failing."

"Of course, this is just the personal opinion of me, the actor who plays Tomoe Xueshiro. Directors and producers can just take it as a reference." Gu Qingyuan added at the end.

Shi Peihua and Shinozaki Yumi were silent upon hearing this.

"Well said." Su Yan spoke at this time, looking at Gu Qingyuan with admiration.

"Besides, a mediocre ending would only reduce Rurouni Kenshin to a mediocre work like Seifu."

"Ms. Xiaozaki, Director Shi, Ms. Gu. A work as mediocre as Qingfeng's is destined to never surpass Qingfeng's."

"If Rurouni Kenshin wants to surpass Qingfeng in performance." Su Yan looked at the three of them.

"It's not okay to play it safe. We are betting that Rurouni Kenshin's highly abusive ending will touch the hearts of the audience. We are betting that the audience will approve of the ending of this story. We are betting that this ending will make Kenshin surpass Qingfeng."

Su Yan said a lot in one breath. He naturally knew that the audience in Xia Country would probably accept the ending of Kenshin's Memories.

The fact that the ending of Kenshin's Memories was welcomed and regarded as a masterpiece in so many countries in the previous life says a lot.

But Su Yan must use another reason to convince the rest of the creative team.

“More than the breeze.”

As soon as Su Yan said this, Xiao Qi Yu Mei thought for a moment, and her eyes lit up. It's safe to have a mediocre ending. How can it be a slap in the face to end up with Qing Feng's grades at the same level?
To get revenge, you have to bet that Rurouni Kenshin will have a higher score than Seifuku in the end.

For the same web drama produced this quarter, Yoshitoki Akasaka, you cut the budget of other dramas by one tenth and cut the budget of Rurouni Kenshin by half?
Who do you look down on?

The current situation is a competition between the station's lowest-invested and highest-invested online dramas this quarter.

If Rurouni Kenshin wins in the end, Shinozaki Ikumi is sure that Akasaka Yoshitoki will be embarrassed at the next production department budget meeting.

Her mother's long-time friends, the aunts in the senior management of the production department, were just as vindictive as she was.

In the last few days, only the most important part of Rurouni Kenshin Season 4 remains to be filmed.

Whether it is the origin of the cross-shaped scar on Kenshin's face, or the plot of burning Yukidai Tomoe's body, it is a great acting challenge for Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan.

But during this week, Rurouni Kenshin's popularity on Sakura.com has continued to rise due to Su Yan's superb action scenes in the first episode and the plot that is rich in depth and epic feeling. The rating has increased slightly from 9.2 to 9.3.

Moreover, the number of paid broadcasts continued to grow rapidly in the following days.

The final date came on July 29th.

On this day, data related to the first episode of Rurouni Kenshin was announced.

With 105 million paid viewers in the first week, it became the second best opening drama on the four major platforms this quarter.

Many film and television media on the Internet have written articles to report on Rurouni Kenshin.

This not only shocked the writing department of Sakura TV, but also made Kiyota Sanji and Akasaka Yoshitoki extremely upset.

Although this result is still not as strong as the 109 million viewers of the first episode of Qing Feng in its first week.

But what are Rurouni Kenshin’s conditions, and what are Qingfeng’s conditions?
The fact that these two dramas can be compared together shows that there is a big problem.

Kiyota Sanji no longer had the smug look he had in the past few weeks.

My heart must be in turmoil.

In the evening, around eight o'clock.

Viewers who were attracted by the first episode of Rurouni Kenshin had already expressed their opinions in the dynamic chat room in the comment section of the playback page.

"Brothers, I've figured it out. The actor who plays Kenshin and the screenwriter Su Yan are newcomers. The actor who plays Yukishiro Tomoe, Gu Qingyuan, is a graduate of the acting major this year. As for the director Shi Peihua, she has been retired for a few years. As for the producer Shinozaki Ikumi, you probably won't guess her. She was the producer of the terrible drama Sakurajima Love Uta in the first half of the year. Hahaha, you didn't expect it, did you? It was this group of people who came together and produced a wonderful chemical reaction."

"?"

"Sakurajima Love Song?"

"She is the producer of Rurouni Kenshin?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Don't scare me!"

"Everything was fine in the first few episodes of Sakurajima Koibito. I was so fascinated by it. Who could have expected that it would become so bad in the later episodes? I don't think Rurouni Kenshin will be the same."

"Don't worry, the reason why Sakurajima Love Song is so bad is because the screenwriter was cheated on by his wife during the later stage of writing the script, which caused him to lose his balance. At least Rurouni Kenshin screenwriter Su Yan doesn't have a girlfriend, so there's no need to worry."

"I'm scared even if you say that!"

"Fear!"

"I look forward to the performance of screenwriter Su Yan, come on! I like Rurouni Kenshin, and I look forward to the subsequent development of Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe. Most importantly, the screenwriter must let the two of them have a happy ending in the end!"

“Hopefully there will be more fighting in episode two.”

"Am I the only one who wants to see the protagonist's master, Hiko Seijuro, appear?"

The comment section is very lively.

It ranked third in the online drama category of Sakura.com.

Kenshin fans have been waiting for a week for the first meeting between Kenshin and Tomoe Yukishiro.

The time quickly approached eight o'clock in the evening.

The second volume of Rurouni Kenshin is online on time.
