Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 276 Staying Power
The box office of Your Name on Monday was not going well from the day on, and it turned out to be as expected by the evening.

Just after midnight, major institutions in Xia Country calculated that the full-day box office was 2.12 million yuan.

This result silenced the media and haters who had posted articles the day before expressing regret over the film's poor release date but were actually gloating over the misfortune.

We just express our regret on the surface that Your Name has a bad release date and has no chance of surpassing Rurouni Kenshin in box office.

It doesn’t mean we really want Your Name to surpass Rurouni Kenshin at the box office?

They don't even want this movie to gross over 20 billion.

For normal screenwriters and investors in the film and television industry, it is normal to lose money on several films before making any profit on one.

As a screenwriter and investor, Su Yan’s works in the film industry are all profitable. That’s not all, he even won the box office champion during the Spring Festival.

There is a large group of people in Xia Country who are jealous of Su Yan.

These people all hope that Su Yan will fail once, and then they will ridicule him.

But after waiting for half a year, Your Name was finally released.

Not only did it not flop, the box office was so outrageous in the first three days.

And then it will exceed 2 million by Monday?
Many people's defenses were broken that night.

Especially the investors behind those works that failed miserably in competition with Su Yan's film in the past three years.

Many people posted sour comments that night.

Various media outlets were also affected and began publishing some inexplicable articles containing slanderous remarks.

Something like "Your Name" had a good box office on Monday, but it's probably just a flash in the pan, and the box office will return to normal, and the total box office will not exceed 2 billion.
But the Xia audience is not stupid either.

Compared to the opinions of these media people whom they have never met, they definitely believe more in the most direct viewing experience of the people around them.

By Tuesday, Your Name's box office still exceeded 2 million, closing in 2.01 million, and there was still 1.58 million in box office as of Wednesday.

These box office data silenced everyone in the Xia country's film industry.

After all, most of the time, Xiaguo's daily box office on weekdays is less than 60 million. This box office performance of Your Name on weekdays is definitely not a short-term popularity among fans or the result of Su Yan's die-hard fans watching the movie twice or three times. Instead, it is the word-of-mouth spread of the movie, which is gradually attracting a large number of passers-by fans to the cinema to support the movie.

Precisely because we are people in the industry, we remained silent after seeing this clearly.

They didn't want to admit it, but they had to admit that Su Yan, a screenwriter, investor, and freak in the Xia country's film and television circle, had basically no interests or personal connections with other bigwigs in the industry. In the film and television industry, very few people knew him. Most of his external joint and cooperative work was led by his company's second-in-command, Shinozaki Ikumi.

But this young man, who has no connections in the industry and is seen by everyone as someone who has a lot of money and only knows how to spend money, his works are sweeping the TV drama and film circles in Xiaguo, changing the aesthetic taste of the entire Xiaguo film and television audience.

This kind of thing that most people working in the film and television industry would only dream of is now happening to Su Yan.

What will happen if the situation continues like this?
In a few years, Su Yan will be a god in both the TV drama and film circles, and become a benchmark in the industry. On Thursday, the Xiaguo media's film reviews of Su Yan and Your Name had already turned to this level.

Su Yan did not spend any money to market himself in this regard, but the media people in Xia Country have begun to view him in this way.

As a 26-year-old who is inexperienced and needs time to grow up, he will be criticized in any industry. No media, no film critic, and no industry leader in the whole of Xia country dares to talk about this matter.

If you continue to take advantage of your age and seniority, you will only bring shame upon yourself.

And just when the entire Xia country was keeping an eye on the box office of the movie "Your Name".

Su Yan, who had just finished all the pre-release promotional work for Your Name, was paying attention to the box office trends of Your Name and the broadcast data of the TV series I Want to Tell You, while also starting the pre-production preparations for Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion.

Su Yan is not unfamiliar with the work Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. It is one of the masterpieces he had seen in his early days in the two-dimensional world in his previous life.
In that era, the male protagonist Lelouch and the female protagonist CC of this animation have long dominated the top two popularity rankings of male and female protagonists in major anime, and its competitors at the same time were all a series of masterpieces.

Suzumiya, fsn, higurashi, NANA, clannad black notebook.
Many of these works are relatively unpopular among the two-dimensional people who grew up later. For example, NANA, an anime for girls, is not often seen among Su Yan’s friends in his previous life.

However, it was able to beat popular comics such as Dead Fire Sea, which were already very popular at the time, and won the championship in comic single-volume sales in a single year.

As for why it only took one year, it’s because girls’ comics are not long and they will be finished very quickly.

In that era when masterpiece anime were released frequently, Code Geass was also one of the most popular anime.

Although the work is relatively old, Su Yan knows very well that classics will not fade with time.

Su Yan admitted that the plot of Code Geass was very childish and a little bit outrageous.

But who among the audiences who like movies, TV and animation wants to see reality? A plot that is out of touch with reality is not a problem at all. The problem is that the plot is boring and out of touch with reality, and that is when these problems will be criticized.

Su Yan didn't have to think about filming "Code Geass" into a TV series. The first thing that came to his mind was the grand and frequent war scenes in this work, which appeared in almost every episode.

And it wasn't just an ordinary war, but a city battle involving a bunch of giant mechas. To produce these scenes, the cost of special effects was definitely the highest among all the TV dramas Su Yan had produced so far.

Even the special effects production of dramas like fz, fsn, and madoka magica cannot compare to Lelouch of the Code.

However, this kind of thing is not a problem for Su Yan now.

After all, after working in the industry for so many years, I have some assets.

Don't say that Su Yan hasn't produced any works that lose money yet. Even if Lelouch really can't make a profit because the production cost is too high, it doesn't matter.
Being able to bring mecha, Gundam and other war-themed works to Xiaguo's film and television industry is something that makes Su Yan excited.

In addition to being a film and television investor in Xiaguo, he is essentially an old 2D fan who naturally likes to promote his favorite works to more people.

Moreover, the development of Dimension Film and Television Company has basically been on the right track.

Your Name movie is currently in theaters, and the second Rurouni Kenshin movie is also in production. But since Shinkai Makoto and other comic-adapted movies are so popular, Su Yan must have also set his sights on other
Satoshi Kon, Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki
A series of thoughts appeared in Su Yan's mind.
