Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 232 January

Late January.
Su Yan and his entourage went to the capital city in a mighty procession.

Strictly speaking, attending the Xia Yan Awards ceremony was just a side purpose for Su Yan. His real purpose was to start promoting the Rurouni Kenshin movie in advance.

Now there is only about half a month left before the release date of the Spring Festival film, and the competing works of the Spring Festival film are basically clear.

The Xia country's film industry is like its television industry, with several giant film and television companies at the top of the industry.

During the Spring Festival every year, these companies basically have works that they have high hopes for released during the period.

Just like Su Yan's previous life, many people in Xia Country go to the movies during the Spring Festival just for the atmosphere. They do whatever everyone else does. The residents have time and money, so the number of moviegoers is not comparable to that of normal periods.

Among the nine movies released during this year's Spring Festival, Su Yan actually only focused on three of them.

Tianyu Films claims to have invested 5.1 million yuan in the costume film "Breaking the Array".

In terms of trailer style, it is basically not much different from the costume dramas in Su Yan's previous life.

A bunch of big stars are trying to pump the movie into the movie. There's Teng Xi, a famous director who ranks in the top ten in terms of both fame and the performance of his works. Together with a bunch of first- and second-tier movie stars who either join or make guest appearances, the movie was expected by the industry to be a strong contender for the box office champion of the period before it was released.

"The Fake Detective", a comedy detective film with an investment of 4.3 million yuan.

The cast is similar to that of Breaking the Array, with a bunch of movie stars from Xia Country crammed in. Anyway, as long as there are enough actors, there will always be one that the audience will appreciate and who can attract the audience to come and watch.

These two movies are the two works with the highest investment during the Spring Festival. The next one is Su Yan's "Rurouni Kenshin".

A total of more than 400 million yuan was invested in filming and publicity, making it the largest investment since the establishment of Su Yan's company.

And this time, no black fans can use the fact that Su Yan is a TV screenwriter and his company's team can only produce shoddy movies to discredit Su Yan.

The performance of 5 Centimeters per Second during last year's summer season and the highest-rated summer romance film in the past decade left those haters speechless.

The only thing that can be criticized is that not many people in Su Yan's Rurouni Kenshin team have won awards at major film award ceremonies in Xia Country, and there is definitely a gap between the cast of the other two films.

Moreover, as competitors, Su Yan's aggressive rise in the film industry in the past one or two years has indeed made many people a little worried.

Like the male lead Ying Rui and the female lead Xi Xiaoling of Po Zhen. There is also the male lead Lu Yu and the female lead Meng Ningtian of Fake Detective, who basically formed a three-way battle with the fans of Su Yan and Shen Liqian.

As the national promotion of several movies began, fans of the three parties could be seen everywhere on the Internet posting insults at each other.

In Xia Country, the fan circle culture is no worse than Su Yan's previous life, and in Xia Country's entertainment industry, Su Yan's fans are definitely among the most powerful.

The news media also began to frantically report on the status of several movies during the Spring Festival, and some competitors even spent money to hire internet trolls to discredit Su Yan.

Several movies are trending on the Internet almost every other day, driven by the capital behind them.

As for Su Yan, he and his subordinates basically hold press conferences and fan meetings in different locations every other day.

After a few days, even a workaholic like Ikumi Shinozaki could not bear it anymore. Seeing Su Yan busy from morning to night, and even having time to practice with the sword from the Kenshin movie in the office at night, she looked at Su Yan with envy.

"No wonder you can perform such beautiful action scenes, your physical strength is extraordinary."

"Just practice more. I've been attending fan meetings these days, and many fans hope that I can perform Kenshin's Flying Sword Style from the movie in real life, so I have to study it too." Su Yan said.

Filming a movie and performing are two different things. If Su Yan really wants to rely on these to promote the movie, he can only do some beautiful, non-lethal actions.

"Since you have so much energy, you should hold more related promotional activities. In Xia Country, other stars have to participate in activities every few days to maintain their popularity, but you are different. You are only active for a few days when a new work is online. Even reporters can't find you on weekdays. Look, you have only been active in front of the media for a few days, and your ranking on the popularity list of TV stars and movie stars has risen rapidly."

"Human energy is limited. Work is important, but it is not the only important thing." Su Yan said with a smile.

"As a single person, what else is important to you?" Shinozaki Ikumi complained directly.

"What about you? You are not single yet." Su Yan smiled.

When faced with this kind of problem, he usually hurts the other party.

Shinozaki Ikumi's breath was choked when she heard this. In Tokyo, she basically went home every day, and was basically nagged by her mother every day.

"I definitely have better plans for my life, future and family than you do."

"For example?" Su Yan spread his hands.

"I remember when I first met you, your life goal was to become a well-known producer. Now you have basically become the top producer in the TV drama industry. What's next? What is your life plan?"

"Once the movie we make can win the annual box office championship in Xia Country, I will focus on other aspects." Shinozaki Ikumi said with a smile, rolling her eyes.

"Just wait and see. With my charm, I can find the perfect love partner in a week."

"Then you have to hurry up. Maybe in just half a month, after Rurouni Kenshin is released, it may win the Spring Festival box office champion. Normally, the Spring Festival box office champion is the box office champion of that year. Adding the release time of the movie, you still have a month and a half." Su Yan chuckled.

Shinozaki Ikumi's expression froze when she heard this, and she was about to refute, but as the producer of Kenshin, could she refute that this movie was unlikely to win the championship? She was suddenly stuck in her words, and after a long time, she spoke in a faint tone.

"You have great ambitions, and you're eyeing the summer box office champion."

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Su Yan smiled.

In fact, he didn't have much confidence in his heart. Judging from the current situation, the popularity of Rurouni Kenshin before its release is not worse than that of its other two main competitors.

But this is just the hype before the release. Who knows what the quality of those two works is?

In addition to the two films "The Breaking Bad" and "The Fake Detective", there are six other films released at the same time.

Although everyone now thinks that those movies are worth watching but not the meat, no one can tell whether they are dark horses.

However, since Su Yan's movie is released in this period, he is definitely aiming for the championship.

"Also, don't try to change the subject." Su Yan took a sip of water.

Knowing that she couldn't win the argument with Su Yan, Shinozaki Ikumi quickly left, saying that she wanted to go home and rest.

Su Yan stretched, left the company department in Hudu, and drove to his home in the nearby villa area.

The next day, Sunday.

Today, the popularity of fz has surpassed that of Rurouni Kenshin among Su Yan's fans.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the fourth episode of fz will be broadcast.

The first three episodes of fz let the audience know the main characters of this work.

Starting from the fourth episode, the focus began to shift to minor characters.

For example, the friendship between Kiritsugu Emiya's wife Airi and Saber.

For example, the inexplicably ambiguous atmosphere between Director Kenneth's wife and Kenneth's heroic spirit, the spearman Diarmait with a teardrop mole at the corner of his eye.

As Weber's teacher, Kenneth looked down on Weber in class and mocked him for his impure bloodline.

At home, he was criticized and blamed by his wife Sora, and his wife even seemed to have great ideas about the heroic spirit Diarmait.

Yeah, I guessed right, I fell in love with the Lancer.

From other perspectives.

Gilgamesh's dissatisfaction with Tōsaka Tokichi, and the inexplicably slightly overlapping values ​​between him and Tōsaka Tokichi's disciple Kotomine Kirei.

Then, the fourth episode ends with Kiritsugu Emiya breaking into Kenneth's base camp and confronting him head-on.

Of course, in this episode, after Emiya Kiritsugu took action, his methods that were completely inconsistent with a magician were also met with various complaints from fans and people in the plot.
