Chapter 229 Hot Discussions and World Views
If the first episode of fz introduces the identities of the seven masters.

The second episode begins by revealing the origins of the seven heroes to the audience.

At times like this, it would be easy for viewers who have read the setting collection on Su Yan’s official website and done their homework to empathize with the story.

For viewers who haven't done their homework, they will have to pay attention to the plot while digesting the settings.

And
These heroes with distinct personalities quickly attracted the attention of audience fans.

Alexander the Conqueror, a burly, open-minded, but self-motivated king.

The plot where the spirits of historical kings come to the modern world to learn all kinds of new things in the real world makes the audience laugh.

When he was summoned alone, his only thought was to raise an army and conquer the world.

Because his Master Waver's wish was only to win the Holy Grail War and make those who looked down on him because of his inferior bloodline recognize his talents, he was slapped away by the King of Conquerors, who complained that he had no ambition.

The impression that the emperor abused his young wife on their wedding night was left on the audience.

[If you want to gain everyone's respect, why not use the Holy Grail to make a wish to grow 30 centimeters taller! ] The audience was a little upset.

Then there is the additional setting that the three Command Spells in the Master's hands can control Heroic Spirits.

And
The battle special effects scenes that the audience is looking forward to.

Because it is a group portrait drama, the warm daily life of Kiritsugu Emiya and his daughter Illya will be interspersed in the middle.

And
The heroine Saber's true identity is revealed as King Arthur.

The person who is known as the Knight King in history in a TV drama is actually a girl.

There is also a setting interspersed in the plot, in which the Knight King pulls out the Sword in the Stone, and saves the people from danger when the country is in danger.

And, the story of how he was eventually betrayed and fell by his subordinates.

The seventh master, Ryunosuke Amayū, and his heroic spirit.

Add to that the golden sparkle, and the heroic king Gilgamesh makes a brilliant appearance in the sky, creating a grand scene with the king’s treasures and weapons floating in the sky.

And, at the end of the second episode, the duel between Saber and Lancer
After this episode was aired, the audience in Xia country completely confirmed that the characters in the drama fz would not fall in love.

This is a fantasy special effects battle theme work.

Moreover, although only two episodes have been aired, the world view, background setting and mythological history of this drama have become completely popular in Xia Country.

"So the historical King Arthur in the story is a man, but in reality he is just a woman? Is this possible?"

"Are Altria's men blind? How can they treat their king as a man when her king is so beautiful?"

"But in the official anime, she has a wife and a son, and a subordinate named Lancelot cheated on her. What's going on?"

"The old thief has been supplementing the setting collection as the plot is being broadcast. However, according to the fantasy mythology and history in the plot, this kind of thing is not so difficult to understand. In a world where magicians exist, what's so strange about a girl becoming a king? Just use some weird magic to conceal her true appearance. But the fact that she married a girl in history and had a child, it is probably because she was really cheated on. Maybe the father of the child is Lancelot."

"I suddenly discovered that Kotomine Kirei's Heroic Spirit Hassan was really weak. He was defeated by Gilgamesh in one blow."

"That's acting! Can't you see that it's Kotomine Kirei and Tōsaka Tokitoki acting for everyone?"

"I mean, even without acting, Gilgamesh would probably be able to beat Hassan in one second."

“After watching two episodes of this drama, I just feel that this is the most complete and complex TV series about the life of an old thief. Although the old thief setting only briefly mentions some background history, it really feels like this world really exists.”

"Especially after Altria's identity was revealed, Altria's autobiography was directly released on the official website of Dimension Films."

"Anyway, the character's autobiography made me cry. The king who saved the country and pulled out the sword in the stone has been working diligently on the throne for many years, not daring to slack off even a little bit. However, she is feared by her subordinates because she is too rational and only cares about the law and not human feelings. She fought bloody battles on the Sword Hill, and because of her own reasons, her subordinates rebelled and eventually the country fell apart. Her last wish before her death was to go back to the day before she became king, choose not to pull out the sword in the stone, and choose to be a shepherdess, thinking that this way she would not cause the country to perish."

"Oh my god, does the heroine Altria have so many hidden plots?"

"Yes, they are all on the official website of Dimension Films, and they are updated every week as the plot is released. I just updated the autobiography of King of Conquerors Iskandar half an hour ago."

"Why don't you put these plots into TV series?"

"I heard there will be. Lao Zei said in an interview before that some characters' autobiographical stories will be filmed, but they will be posted on the online streaming platform for paid viewing after the TV series is finished."

"So do I need to go to the official website to read the setting collection to watch this drama?"

"It's not necessary. As the old thief said, you can understand the plot without reading those things. It's just that the setting collection is to help you understand the world view and the inner thoughts of the characters. If you are interested after reading the main plot, you can learn about it. If the main plot can't attract you, then there is no point in reading the setting collection! It's just a supplement!"

"I won't say any more. I also need to go and watch the setting collection."

"The plot keeps talking about how awesome King Arthur and the King of Conquerors are, but I don't really feel that. Indeed, these settings by Lao Zei are a big help." "Lao Zei is so serious about this drama! He didn't do that in his previous works!"

"After all, he is now successful and famous, so he must have a positive attitude towards his work! It's hard to become famous, but it only takes one bad drama to collapse your reputation!"

As the TV series started airing, discussions about the character settings and mythological stories of the Fate series became popular.

The work fz itself was created after fsn, but the plot timeline of fz is before fsn, so the charm and story of many characters were actually revealed in fsn.

When fz was born, the author of the novel, Gen Urobuchi, assumed that readers were familiar with the plot of fsn.

But Xiaguo does not have the galgame fsn.

In order to ensure that the audience in Xia country would have as few viewing obstacles as possible, Su Yan spent a lot of effort writing down these mythological background stories and publishing them online.

And the story about the character of Altria in the fsn galgame plot will also be released one by one as the plot progresses.

After all, a large part of her charm comes from the fact that in FSN, Shirou Emiya made a contract with her and saw the story in her dream.

Compared to the paid video website Sakura.com, Su Yan's Dimension Film and Television official website has the highest fan traffic tonight.

The website was stuck because there were too many people online at the same time, just like the course selection system in college was stuck.

But these fans still read the materials and novel information above with great interest late at night.

next morning
On the popularity list of TV drama characters in Xiaguo, Altria ranks first with an absolute advantage.

At the same time, Zhuang Yuxin, who plays Saber, also known as Altria, suddenly jumped into the top five on the popularity list of female stars.

You know, this kind of ranking in popularity is usually only enjoyed by Xia Country's top female stars.

But Zhuang Yuxin only took two weeks
Can you imagine how terrifying the attention Su Yan’s new drama has received?
At noon, fz season 5.32 had a viewership rating of %, still ranking first this week.

As for the second place in ratings, the suspense drama "River's Bank" which was launched by Zhongxia TV this quarter, the ratings of the second episode were only 4.81%, which is a huge gap from fz and basically does not pose a threat.

The news media also began to write extensive publicity articles.

What a high quality masterpiece of Xiaguo TV series.

What ingenuity it takes to create a virtual world for a TV series.

Some media praised Su Yan and the wording of this drama, which made Su Yan himself look a little embarrassed and felt it was too exaggerated.

But Dimension Films is not only focusing on the drama FZ.

It is already mid-January, and in about twenty days, the movie version of Rurouni Kenshin will be released during the Spring Festival.

The cost of actual location shooting and the cost of setting up some specific scenes during the filming of this movie exceeded 200 million Xiaguo currency.

In order to cope with the huge marketing expenses during the Spring Festival, Su Yan once again allocated nearly 200 million yuan in marketing expenses.

It can be said that if this movie only considers the box office share of cinemas, it will not make back more than 1 billion.

However, Su Yan, who had experienced the bombardment of the Chinese film market in his previous life, attached great importance to marketing.

Whether a movie is good or not depends mainly on the plot and production quality, but whether the movie can make a profit or not depends to a large extent on its marketing and publicity.

The weight loss movie in Su Yan’s previous life was adapted from an island movie. The plot is basically the same, and it even looks worse than the original.

But the box office of the original movie is not even as good as the Chinese version, the difference is probably several hundred times.

The original version of the movie had a total box office of about 4 to 5 million Chinese yuan.

The plot is similar, but with different people and companies, the box office difference is huge.

This is the power of marketing and capital. Of course, the huge film market of more than one billion people also plays a decisive role in the high box office.

In his previous life, Su Yan thought these behaviors were meaningless and looked down upon them.

But now in Xia Country, he has the ability, so he will definitely not deliberately refuse to engage in marketing.

Jianxin Movie is a good movie, but there is no need for Su Yan to sell it in the alleys.

Wouldn't we be stupid to let it gain popularity through word of mouth without any publicity?

Rurouni Kenshin will also have the treatment and investment that other movies deserve.
