Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 268 Approaching
On Sunday, I really want to tell you that the third episode will be aired.

I really want to tell you that the basic format of this drama is to establish the fact that the hero and heroine like each other at the beginning, and then insert the stories between the heroes' friends in the process, and promote the plot by having the hero and heroine resolve the conflicts and entanglements between their friends and deepen their feelings.

Like at the end of the second episode, Kuronuma Shoko's two friends Yano and Chizuru spread extremely bad rumors in the school, but in the end it was discovered that the person who spread the rumors was Kuronuma Shoko?
The entire plot of the third episode is that Yano and Chizuru don't believe that the heroine Kuronuma Shoko would do such a thing, but because they both have twisted personalities, and the heroine Kuronuma Shoko is a bit naive, they accidentally make things more confusing in the process.

Su Yan's fans were heartbroken when watching this episode. Yano and Chizuru asked Kuronuma Shoko whether she regarded them as friends.

It is impossible to directly ask Kuronuma Shoko whether she was the one who spread those rumors, so the two have decided that as long as Kuronuma Shoko answers "yes", they will not suspect the heroine.

But the heroine's answer was "or".

As soon as she opened her mouth, she said, "Rather than being a friend."

People who are good at Chinese know that when using words to indicate a transition, the sentence that follows is not important, and the next sentence is the most important.

Unfortunately, Yano and Chizuru were in a state of loss and could not control their emotions. When they heard Kuronuma Shoko's next words,
By the third episode, the show's irritating atmosphere had become apparent.

The nickname of this drama "I'm going to drive you crazy" is not groundless. In the past, a group of fans would have high blood pressure if they watched it in one go because of the clumsy behavior of the characters in the plot, not to mention those who follow the drama.

On the night when the third episode was aired, Su Yan’s fan forum was in an uproar as usual.

"Uncomfortable!"

"Why do I feel that Su Yan's pure love drama looks more tormenting!"

"It's already the third episode, and the hero and heroine haven't confessed their love yet? When will they confess?!"

"Unbearable."

"Why would Kuronuma Shoko say that? When Chizuru asked her if she considered them friends, she could have just said yes. How could she say that they were not friends at all?"

“I feel like the heroine’s next sentence should be more positive, but it’s a pity that it wasn’t said.”

"I hate people who only say the first half of a sentence. This old thief must be doing it on purpose."

"What else? If the plot doesn't go on like this, is it still a TV show? That's not our daily life?"

"What you said makes me sad."

"I just want to see the hero and heroine confess their love and fall in love right now!"

"Don't panic, this kind of friendship plot is also interesting! Those love TV series where the characters confess in three episodes, kiss in the fourth episode, and then become all sweet and cloying afterwards make me want to vomit!"

"Although they are both romance dramas, they are very different from East Love! Basically, in the first episode of East Love, Rika is the one who makes a direct attack. In the first three episodes, the relationships between the various characters are like a roller coaster. In the fourth episode, Rika and the male lead have sex. However, I really want to tell you that in the third episode, the male and female protagonists are still secretly in love."

"be patient."

"My patience is running out. Your Name will be released next Friday, so I'll go see it three times first."

"Even if the movie Your Name is in theaters, I really want to tell you that I will definitely continue to watch it!"

"Enjoy this month. I really want to tell you that the movie "Your Name" will be online. After the summer vacation is over, I don't know when the next time the old thief has a new drama will be."

"Didn't I hear that FSN is already filming? Maybe it will be aired in January next year. And the second part of the Rurouni Kenshin movie will probably be released during the Spring Festival next year, right?"

"It's easy to say. It's only July now, and there's still half a year until next year."

"In fact, compared to Su Yan's special effects dramas, I think campus youth dramas like I Want to Tell You are even better." "I feel the same way. April, a campus romance drama, has always been my number one drama! Lao Zei's subsequent works didn't move me as much as April. It's a pity that Lao Zei didn't shoot this kind of music romance TV series anymore."

All night long, Su Yan's fans were complaining online about the plot of the third episode of I Want to Tell You.

This drama does not have any depressing plots, so Su Yan's pace this season is a bit lighter, and fans' attitude towards him is also much calmer. They are no longer like before, when they would directly criticize him whenever the plot is not satisfactory.

The next day, the third episode of I Want to Tell You had a viewership rating of 5.71%.

Basically, the growth rate has become very slow. The basic base of romance dramas is so small, there is nothing we can do about it.

Starting from Tuesday, the information channels of major film and television media and websites in Xiaguo have been controlled by various film investors.

With an investment of over 200 million yuan and a publicity budget of almost 200 million yuan, Your Name has undoubtedly become the most popular movie in the summer season.

After all, Su Yan’s previous work, Rurouni Kenshin, has a good reputation, and there are a large number of his movie fans in Xia Country.

Theater owners, cinema chain executives and other parties basically treat the movie named after you as the highest standard for the summer season.

On Tuesday alone, the pre-sale box office of the film exceeded 31 million yuan on its release day, and on Friday, the day of its release, the screening ratio was also leading by a huge margin of %.

The horror suspense film "Bone Temple", which also had an investment of over 19 million yuan, only had % of the screening time.

The screening schedule for the comedy film "Three's Journey" was squeezed to only 16%.

The worst is another youth romance movie "Summer Night" which was released on July 11th. The subject matter conflicts with Your Name and it was originally scheduled for this year's Spring Festival. However, the competition during the Spring Festival was too fierce and the investor took the initiative to withdraw the movie. Unexpectedly, it encountered another movie by Su Yan during the summer vacation. There was no way. The publicity and promotion funds had been spent, and it had to be released anyway. Although the investment was nearly million, the screening rate was only %, which has already revealed that the Xiaguo film industry is not optimistic about this movie.

At home in Shanghai, Su Yan, who had just finished a day of promotional activities, was studying the summer movie market.

Two years ago now, when The Garden of Words was released, he was still very nervous.

At that time, the screening schedule and treatment of The Garden of Words were basically the same as this year's Summer Nights. It was not optimistic, and the theaters only gave it the screening schedule because of how much public relations and publicity fees Su Yan had spent.

But this year, before Your Name was released, the entire film industry basically unanimously regarded Su Yan and Your Name as the strongest contenders for this summer's box office champion.

"This must be the origin of the very popular Thirty Years of Hedong in the previous life." Su Yan let out a long breath.

Su Yan once again looked at the general information of the three competing films.

The competition this summer is actually even greater than in the previous two years, but Su Yan feels the most confident this year.

In the film industry, the quality of the work and publicity are equally important.

Although Your Name had average box office when it was released in China in Su Yan's previous life, only around 500 to 600 million, that was a result achieved with basically zero publicity and during a crappy release period.

After all, it is an island film. There is no capital in the country, but theaters are willing to provide it with resources.

Even so, it still achieved such a high box office.

In Xia Country, Su Yan can be said to have provided all the external support for the film before its release.

At least in this summer season, Su Yan's goal has never been to compete with his rivals during the same period, but to try to make his name surpass the box office of the Rurouni Kenshin movie released half a year ago.
