Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 234 Turmoil
As Su Yan's publicity funds were distributed to all parties through various channels.

These sword-fighting "learning" videos shot by Rurouni Kenshin and Su Yan spread among the ordinary people of Xia Country in a very short time.

Although Su Yan is very famous in the film and television industry in Xia Country, there are still a large number of people who do not usually watch TV dramas. They have only heard of Su Yan in the film and television industry, but are still unfamiliar with Su Yan's works.

This kind of thing is very normal. There are too many people in Xia. In Su Yan's previous life, people like Tyson and Ronaldo were so famous, but for people who don't watch boxing or play football, they are just familiar with their names at most.

But when it comes to movies, basically everyone will go to see them more or less. The only difference is that for real game works, how to push its information to these ordinary people? The answer is to spend money.

There are differences in the plots of the Rurouni Kenshin movie and Memories. The former focuses on fighting, while the latter focuses on the humanistic environment and the love between the male and female protagonists.

It is precisely fighting movies that have the lowest viewing threshold.

A large number of people who had only heard of Su Yan also became very interested in the movie Rurouni Kenshin after receiving publicity.

There has also been huge discussion on various forums.

"So powerful?"

"What does the old thief mean by releasing these instructional videos? Does he think we can learn it?"

“Is there anyone who knows this business who can tell me whether the old thief’s teaching videos are just for show or are they real skills?”

"I've been learning this since I was a kid. Strictly speaking, the moves he taught you in the teaching videos are just fancy moves. They are not practical when you use them in a fight. But he can do those moves so beautifully, he must have real skills. I feel that the moves in his teaching videos omit some explosive force techniques. If they are included, it will not be a swordsmanship teaching, but a killing teaching."

"I don't understand it, but I was shocked. My daughter has always liked the works of this young man named Su Yan. I always thought he was a pretty boy, a vase actor who made a living by his looks. I just saw his sword fighting video today, which made my blood boil. I tried it and twisted my ankle!"

"I always thought I was better than Su Yan. I've been working out for ten years and have full muscles. But after watching these action videos of him, if we really fight, I probably won't be able to hit him. His speed is a bit too fast."

"Does anyone know who the old thief's parents are? He is only 25 years old, how is it possible that he knows scriptwriting, music, acting, and martial arts?"

"So, he's a genius! He's from a working-class family, and he probably taught himself. Don't look at him with an ordinary person's mindset. Who can produce so many works in a few years, and have them all become big hits? Who can go from being penniless to being worth billions in a few years?"

"Is it really that exaggerated to be worth billions?"

"You can understand it if you look at the online sales data, box office data, and overseas copyright sales data of his series of works. Xiaguo has an entire industry chain that relies on Su Yan's works for its livelihood."

"Acting really makes money, and being good-looking means you can do whatever you want."

"Don't be so jealous. Even if Lao Zei doesn't rely on his looks and doesn't star in his own dramas, do you think his achievements can be low? His acting ability and looks are the least worth mentioning among his many abilities."

"After watching Lao Zei's teaching videos, I rekindled my dream of martial arts."

"I can only describe it as awesome. I haven't watched any TV series or movies starring this young man named Su Yan before, but I particularly like martial arts movies. If his fighting scenes in this movie can be this smooth, no matter what the plot is, I will definitely go to support it during the Spring Festival!"

"Awesome! I will definitely support you during the Spring Festival."

"He can do romance and martial arts, the old thief has a wide range of acting skills!"

"I don't have any other requests, I just hope that this movie won't be a tragedy. Tomoe Yukishiro is already dead, but I hope that in the movie version, Kamiya Kaoru, played by Shen Liqian, doesn't die as well."

"The old thief wouldn't do that, would he? He couldn't possibly turn a handsome character like Kenshin Himura into a wife-killer, right?" "Anyway, I've prepared for my whole family to go watch it on the Spring Festival. Maybe we can meet in the cinema then!"

"Me too. I can save money on other movies, but I will definitely support Rurouni Kenshin, a new entry in my career, even if Su Yan's plot is rubbish."

After a wave of promotional push, at this time in early February, Rurouni Kenshin continued to top the hot search lists of major websites for two consecutive days.

And competitors during the Spring Festival period will certainly not sit idly by and watch.

Likewise, publicity efforts were maximized on all channels. During this period, anyone in Xia Country who liked to surf the Internet or watch TV could receive relevant push notifications from various channels.

As for the major cinemas in Xia Country, they had already hung up the promotional posters of several big-budget movies half a month in advance. Before the movies were released, the promotional trailers of several movies would be played in the theater for the audiences who went to the cinema to watch the movies, regardless of whether they wanted to watch them or not.

Su Yan also held offline fan meetings in Shanghai, the capital, and several first-tier coastal cities. He basically took Gu Qingyuan and other main creative members to promote the event in different places every day. Wherever they went, there were basically a large number of fans watching, and the area around the fan meeting was packed with people.

Funds from major film and television capitals in Xia country poured into the market before this year's Spring Festival.

If Su Yan had not made so much money in the Xia country TV drama circle in the past few years, he, the owner of a private film and television company, would not be able to afford this level of publicity.

Even if it's just for filming, how many people in Xia Country can afford hundreds of millions of cash? And among those who can afford it, how many dare to invest in a movie? When rich people do things, the first thing they consider is not the benefits, but the risks.

Su Yan's competitors all have several investors behind them to share the success or failure and reduce the risk, but Su Yan is a sole proprietorship, fully invested, and basically pays for the publicity himself. The cooperating distributors only use their connections and channels, and they don't dare to invest as much as Su Yan in Jianxin Movies. Of course, Su Yan will get more of the box office share.

Ikumi Shinozaki looked at the company's financial records of funds in and out every day, and she began to become anxious.

"Su Yan, what do you think would happen if Rurouni Kenshin gets bad reviews after its release during the Spring Festival and ends up being a box office failure?" Shinozaki Ikumi blurted out while distracted in the car after attending an offline fan meeting one day.

But after saying it, I realized it was wrong. How could a producer say such a thing before his movie is released?

"Forget what I just said. This is impossible."

But Su Yan didn't care and just smiled.

"That kind of thing is certainly possible, but given the current situation, the possibility is very low. However." Su Yan looked at Shinozaki Ikumi.

"If this happens, we will come back next year. The current Dimension Films Company is not the same as before."

"Even if Kenshin has zero box office success, our financial resources are enough to support us in doing this several times. What are you worrying about?"

Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan and spoke after a long time.

"I really can't learn your mentality."

"You can never really understand my true thoughts even if you don't learn it." Su Yan said with a smile.

After all, Ikumi Shinozaki is an ordinary human being, and her future is full of unknowns.

But Su Yan is a time traveler, and he knows the quality of his works very well. He has the big data support of the reputation of his works in his previous life. How could the two of them have the same mentality?
