Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 260 April and Nomination

March ends and April arrives.

The final box office of Rurouni Kenshin was 30.42 billion, temporarily ranking first in the box office of this year's movies.

After fz was finished, the popularity of the work actually increased. The number of online broadcasts on Sakura.com was increasing every day. On Su Yan's official website and major shopping platforms in Xia Country, the sales of fz's peripherals were even more popular than when the TV series was on the air.

Zhuang Yuxin’s commercial performance price has skyrocketed, and her schedule has been scheduled for several months into the future.

For Zhuang Yuxin, after all, she has a mixed-race face, and there are relatively few film and television dramas suitable for her. Su Yan does not have too many arrangements for her. Anyway, as the Fate series will continue to launch sequels, the role of Altria will be enough for her to reap the benefits for more than ten or twenty years.

Although she is now a contracted artist under Su Yan's company, Su Yan still shares the commercial performances and advertising income she gets through the role of Altria with her at a higher rate than other contracted artists in the market.

Although the money she made is not much compared to what she made from the Fate series, for her, who was still a sophomore last year and whose popularity has been ranked among the top female stars so far this year, she is already very satisfied.

Not everyone can't tell the difference between the big and small Wangs. After becoming famous, they are ready to use their influence to control their old bosses.

Zhuang Yuxin is not stupid. Even if someone has the capital to pay her the penalty for breach of contract and poach her at this time, Altria is a character created by Su Yan and the copyright belongs to Su Yan. She and this character are combined to become the most popular Altria in Xia country. Without the image halo of the King of Aho-Mao, who in the film and television circles of Xia country knows her?

Therefore, she had no objection to Su Yan's arrangements, and she actively cooperated with the itinerary arranged for her by the company. She did not do anything mindless like a big shot to Su Yan after becoming famous.

Meanwhile, in the Tokyo area, filming of Your Name and I Want to Tell You has also reached the late stage.

I really want to tell you that the filming progress will be a little slower. After all, this drama will take several months to broadcast, and Su Yan and the crew still have more than half a year.

But for the movie Your Name, the progress has to be accelerated.

There are only three months left until the release, and there is still a series of post-production work to be done.

Although fz has ended, Su Yan did not have an easy week.

However, from Su Yan's perspective, there are hundreds of people in the company who need to eat. Although the two works have not been completed yet, Su Yan also has to think about the company's next new work.

At Su Yan's current level, the works he produces basically have to be those of considerable quality, and most of these works cannot be filmed and broadcast at the same time like the previous low-cost dramas.

Post-production work is time-consuming and laborious. For example, film and television special effects have to start production at least half a year in advance.

So even though FZ has just ended, in order to strike while the iron is hot and hype up the popularity of Fate, after Su Yan released the trailer for FSN, Su Yan naturally did not hesitate and spent a lot of emotional points to redeem this work FSN. At the same time, the first Rurouni Kenshin movie was a huge box office success in Xia Country, so Su Yan naturally redeemed the second one as well. The script and other things will be completed within a month, and then the crew will be formed.

For a series like this, it is more reasonable to release one film a year. After shooting several live-action movies in four or five years, Kenshin's IP will be basically formed.

Su Yan’s company is now wealthy, and the gaming department is also beginning to be established.

At that time, the original anime can be exchanged and made into a sword fighting JRPG game like the previous life of Sekiro based on the plot, or it can be directly filmed into a series. Based on the length of Kenshin's original work, it is estimated that the popularity of the work can be maintained for more than ten years.

Of course, Su Yan also implemented the same operation in the Fate series of works.

Although Su Yan is planning to make the Fate series into a game, he certainly won't make it into a galgame. That thing has average commercial value. Moreover, in the Xia country's game market, gal is really a niche. If it is really made into a game, it will be a large-scale stand-alone game or a high-quality mobile game.

Su Yan sat in front of the computer and his thoughts paused for a moment.

Kenshin and Fate are the two major IP masterpieces that the company will be promoting in the future.

However, Su Yan couldn't just rely on these two works to make ends meet. After exchanging for FSN and the second part of the Kenshin movie, there was still a lot of emotion points left in the system.
"Let's write the scripts for these two works first, and then hold a lottery to exchange for one of the works." Su Yan took a deep breath and gave up the idea of ​​holding a lottery now.

"Also, in future long series like this, I will try to play fewer important roles." Su Yan whispered in the office.

Although Xiaguo fans buy into his account, just like Kenshin, this work cannot be started at all without Su Yan.

As the boss of Ciyuan Film and Television, Su Yan not only had to deal with a lot of company affairs every day, but also had to go to the crew to film according to the schedule. The original script, music, etc. had to be moved over in time, and even Su Yan could not handle the intensity of the work.

"But it doesn't matter if I occasionally act in short or medium-length dramas like I Want to Tell You. Maintaining my personal popularity is equivalent to maintaining the popularity of the company and other works I produce. If I completely retire and stop being an actor, then the fans of movies and TV series I have accumulated over the years will be wasted."

Su Yan let out a long breath and smiled bitterly.

In the entire Xia country, there is no other capital giant as rich and successful as him who is still working so diligently on the front line of the crew, and he will most likely continue to do so in the future. Su Yan is the first in the industry.

And
Su Yan looked at the several envelopes on his desk.

This is the envelope that the front desk assistant delivered this morning.

It was a nomination invitation from the organizing committee of the “Imperial Capital Film Festival”, the largest film award event in Xia Country.

Shen Liqian was nominated for Best Actress and Best New Actress for her role in Bouquet of Love.

After all, Hua Lian was Shen Liqian’s first film, and it performed so well, ranking among the top ten in last year’s box office rankings.

She has a good chance of winning the Best New Actress award.

As for the Best Actress Award, Su Yan didn't have much hope. The judges on the organizing committee were not Su Yan's biological father, so it was highly unlikely that they would give face to Su Yan and her artists.

There has never been a film queen in the history of Xia Kingdom who won the Best Actress Award for her first film.

As for Su Yan himself, the movie 5 Centimeters per Second was nominated for the Best Screenplay Award. Because Su Yan's debut film was The Garden of Words released two years ago, the Best New Screenwriter Award has nothing to do with Su Yan and he is not eligible for the nomination.

As for other miscellaneous nominations like Best Music Award, Lighting, and Art Award, Su Yan didn't care much about them.

For someone of his level, getting nominated for or even winning these small awards is just icing on the cake.

End of April?
Su Yan muttered to himself.

He is actually most concerned about the Best Film Award.

It’s a pity that last year’s works "Flower Romance" and "5 Seconds" were not nominated, which made him not very interested in the Teikyo Film Awards.

But Shinozaki Yumi and Shen Liqian are different.

Especially Shen Liqian, when she learned that she was nominated, she screamed in Su Yan's office.

"Is it necessary for you to be like this? After all, you are the best actress of the Xia Yan Awards. Why are you so excited just by being nominated for the best actress in a movie? I don't know how many TV drama fans in Xia Country are definitely inferior to movie fans." Su Yan said helplessly.

"Su Yan, you are successful and famous, so you don't care about these things. I have been in the film and television industry in Xia Country for almost ten years. It took me almost ten years to enter the film industry and be nominated for the Best Actress in the Imperial Capital Awards. How can a genius like you understand my feelings?"

"You are a genius too. You debuted as the seventh in the Xia National Youth Violin Group when you were a teenager. You were spotted by an entertainment company, and your second TV drama became the quarterly champion in ratings," Su Yan quickly corrected.

"Compared to you, you were still exploded into a mortal." Shen Liqian looked at Su Yan even more speechlessly.

For someone like her who has been in the industry for ten years and was nominated for Best Actress at the age of 26, she is already a genius in the industry.

But compared to Su Yan, a screenwriter, actor, and investor who started from nothing and became the top in both TV series and movies, that is really not enough.

"Okay, there's no need to argue. It's nothing more than a story of a genius meeting a pervert. A mortal like me gets angrier the more I listen."

Shinozaki Ikumi, who was standing next to them, found out that she, as a producer, had not even received any nominations at all, and had been sulking there with a pout. When she heard the two people's Versailles remarks, she quickly stopped them.

"Besides, Shen Liqian, you should know that the possibility of you winning this Best Actress nomination is extremely low. On the contrary, your chances of winning the Best New Actress award are extremely high. Your competitors for this award have far less influence in the film and television industry than you do now."

"I'll be satisfied as long as I can be nominated." Shen Li said with a faint smile.

Gu Qingyuan sat next to him, covered her mouth and laughed softly, then said.

"This year, I was nominated for the Best New Actress Award for Hana Ren, and next year, I will be nominated for the Best Actress Award for Kenshin and win the Best Actress Award."

Gu Qingyuan doesn't flatter others easily, but she will make an exception for Shen Liqian, with whom she has a very good relationship.

"Qingyuan, you are still good at talking." Shen Liqian immediately smiled happily.

"Don't be happy too soon," Su Yan poured cold water on them at this time.

"Even if you, Shen Liqian, are nominated for the Best Actress Award next year, it will still be very difficult for you to win the award."

"Eh?"

The three girls looked at Su Yan together. This was not something Su Yan would say! When would he say something that would destroy his prestige?

"While you two are acting out your friendship here, have you ever thought that the heroine Mitsuha Miyamizu in Your Name, which will be released in mid-July, will also be nominated for the Best Actress Award at the Teikyo Film Awards next year?" Su Yan said.

These award nominations for Xia Guo can be said to be very down-to-earth.

Whether a work can win an award depends on the judges’ opinions, but the influence of the work and its score are also important.

Influence and the like can be reflected in the box office. Can a movie with a box office of less than 100 million yuan have a high influence? It is just a niche.

But at the same time, winning awards must also take into account the reputation of the work, otherwise the commercial value of popcorn movies will be unbeatable.

But Rurouni Kenshin is a movie that has both box office success and good reputation.

At the same time, there is a high probability that your name is also the same.

"You two are very likely the biggest competitors for the Best Actress award next year." Su Yan said softly.

Shen Liqian and Gu Qingyuan looked at each other and both realized that this seemed to be the case.

"It seems that this is the case in the TV drama circle. Qing Yuan and I are always nominated for Best Actress at the same time. How come it is the same in the movie circle?" Shen Liqian was speechless.

"This shows that every one of Teacher Su Yan's works is a classic!" Gu Qingyuan flattered Su Yan again without leaving a trace.

"Oh, Qingyuan, you have changed. You have become more materialistic and worldly-wise."

"No way."
