Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 221 Extraction and Accidental Works

In September, as the release date of the movie "Hua Lian" was extended, the market's discussion about Su Yan began to wane.

The film and television market is like this. No matter how great a creator is, his work will only be popular when it is aired.

Su Yan concentrated on filming two TV dramas, and the release of Hua Lian's movie was gradually coming to an end.

In fact, the media's initial expectation that Su Yan's two works would take the first and second place in the summer box office did not come true.

Although the total box office of Bouquet of Love eventually exceeded 1.2 billion, it was still 30 million less than that of The Windmill.

In the end, it only took third place in the summer box office.

But with this result, even the most jealous Su Yan’s haters would not be ashamed.

Is third place bad?
Is a box office of 12 billion bad?

This is an achievement that many filmmakers will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.

Su Yan achieved this result with two films in a row in two months.

Nowadays, Su Yan has become famous in the Xia country's film industry. Basically, all the top film and television companies in Xia country will no longer look down on Su Yan.

When the media and film critics mentioned Su Yan, they generally praised him and no longer brought up his identity as a TV screenwriter.

Before the summer vacation, all doubts about Su Yan in the Xia country film industry disappeared.

As for Su Yan's Dimension Film and Television Company, because there were no new investment projects, a large amount of the company's funds began to be recovered and remained in the account.

The overseas copyright fees of many previous works were paid for viewing on major websites.
Adding these together, the funds in Su Yan’s company account exceeded 10 billion.

In addition, there is the box office share of the two films, Flower Love and 5 Centimeters per Second, which has not yet been settled.

All in all, the two movies will bring nearly 10 billion in box office revenue to Su Yan's company.

Even though the production and promotion costs of the two films exceeded 100 million, the return on investment of over % is still too amazing.

Now inside Su Yan's company, both he and Shinozaki Yumi have been walking in a floating manner for some time.

Although many rich people like to say, "Money is just a number to me!"

Moreover, both Su Yan and Shinozaki Ikumi do not have high demands for material life.

But even they felt a little excited when they thought that there would be more than 20 billion in their company's account.

Money is definitely not as simple as a number!

The two people who have been conservative in their investment funds in the past few years have deeply understood that money is very important in the film and television industry!
If Su Yan used this much money to make a movie, even if he tried his best, he would still not be able to finish it even if he invested nothing in five or six years.

After all, one hundred million Xia Guobi can make an S-level drama, so how can Su Yan finish it?
But let Su Yan invest the money.
He knew very well that the Xiaguo market was too complicated.

Things like buying and selling stocks are all insider information. He doesn't have the energy or time to do such risky things with small returns.

The most he could do is ask someone to find out if there are any major shareholders of the major online video sites who want to sell shares, so he can spend money to buy some.

The situation in Xia Country is somewhat different from Su Yan’s previous life.

In Su Yan's previous life, televisions went from being the public's first choice of entertainment to being a household decoration that was not turned on for half a year within just ten years.

The reason is the rise of the Internet and video websites.

But in Xia Country, the four major video websites are basically controlled by TV stations. The only one that is not controlled, Raccoon.com, also has capital from some movie and private film and television production companies as shareholders.

The process of the Internet replacing television stations may progress slowly in Xia Country.

But this is the general trend, slow but unstoppable.

Su Yan bought their shares in the hope of becoming a shareholder in the future.

In this way, when the company's future works are broadcast on these websites, they will not be controlled by the platforms.

But those things can only come slowly
And now.

Su Yan looked at the emotion value of more than 400 million remaining in his system space, and Su Yan was no longer worried.

If you need to smoke, smoke it.

Now that he has money and emotional points, and the production cycle of his works is long, he basically looks forward to next year's work.

Although it is only late September, we have already started preparing for the movies and TV series that the company will produce next year.

Judging from the fact that 5 Centimeters per Second has higher box office performance and reputation than Love Like a Bouquet.

Movie fans in Xiaguo obviously like the works of Makoto Shinkai.

In that case
Su Yan looked at the information about these works in the system space.

Among the remaining movies of Makoto Shinkai, only three are worth Su Yan's special exchange.

The Garden of Your Name, The Journey of Bell Bud, Weathering with You. Su Yan knew without even having to exchange money that stream-of-consciousness movies like Beyond the Clouds were too literary and would definitely not do well at the box office.

As for "Children Who Chase Lost Love", it is one of the few films of relatively low quality by Makoto Shinkai. Su Yan's rating of it after watching it in his previous life was very low.

As for Voice of a Distant Star, it is too short to be considered.

In Makoto Shinkai's disaster trilogy, the thing with the highest exchange value is undoubtedly your name.

As Makoto Shinkai's famous work, it not only has the highest box office among all of Makoto Shinkai's works, but also has the highest popularity, reputation and ratings.

This exchange price is quite exaggerated
3.5 million sentiment points.

However, Su Yan today is no longer worried about his emotional value like he was in previous years. He spent money to exchange it without hesitation.

Exchange it first, then make it.

It will take at least a year or so to produce.

As for Weathering with You and The Journey of Bell and Sparrow, you can redeem them after the subsequent emotional points are accumulated.

After fz starts airing in January, new emotion points will be added.

Similarly, the Rurouni Kenshin movie was originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival next year.

Su Yan could actually use the remaining emotion points to exchange for the remaining Rurouni Kenshin movies, but Su Yan was not planning to dive headfirst into the film industry from now on.

The TV drama industry is his base camp, and the film industry is where he plans to expand territory for his company.

So we also have to consider the new works in the TV drama section next year.

So after thinking about it, there were less than 70 million emotion points left in the system space, so Su Yan directly used them to draw the lottery.

quickly
A work that had been buried in Su Yan's memory for a long time appeared.

《I really want to tell you! 》

?

Su Yan was completely stunned.

This work?

As the ceiling of the ceiling in the love works in Japanese anime in Su Yan's previous life, this work left a deep impression on Su Yan.

After all, in the era when One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach were the most popular serials, it was the only romance comic in the top ten single-volume sales, and its sales were even lower than Naruto and Bleach, only behind One Piece.
Su Yan will definitely never forget this kind of work.

In the previous system draws, he basically got a bunch of depressing works.

This time this work
It turned out to be pure love?
And it is a truly pure love drama.

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand it.

Most of the works with high emotional value are Su Yan’s popular works in his previous life.

Among popular works, there are relatively few works with a tragic and depressing style.

Especially if these works are limited to those that Su Yan has seen, there are even fewer of them.

Su Yan had no chance of winning the lottery for long-running works like "Dead Fire and Sea", whose IPs are worth tens or hundreds of billions of dollars.

There is no need to mention the depressing masterpiece EVA.

It's just well-known, but because it's a love-themed work, its commercial value is relatively low. I want to tell you that you were chosen, so that's understandable.

If it can cause trouble, I guess the system will continue to do so.

Ah.
also.

Su Yan thought about it carefully and a smile appeared on his face.

Don’t his fans always think that Su Yan is just a depressive person?

It's quite interesting to see a pure love work like this once in a while that seems to make you anxious to death.

After all, when everyone conceded that Su Yan would become depressed, he suddenly came up with a work like this, breaking the inherent impression and prejudice of his fans and the market.

From now on, no one will dare to make blind predictions about his works before they are broadcast to the end.

Until the end, whether depression is caused or cured, it is like Schrödinger's cat, we cannot let them guess it.

Film and television creation must maintain suspense.

Su Yan’s own personality cannot be completely defined.

Soon, Su Yan exited the system space.
