Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 314 Undercurrent
The trailer for Code Geass is simple and crude.

It is impossible to introduce the world view with a one-minute trailer.

However, the general power structure of Xia country's audience can still be understood.

First of all, Su Yan’s fans are very familiar with the setting of an imaginary world. Fate is similar.

Even if Su Yan did not make too many changes to the world view, his fans can basically accept it.

The only thing is the war scenes previewed in the trailer.

There are huge robots everywhere, flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, and controlling these steel monsters in the cockpit to wage war. But the drivers, Zhuang Yuxin dyed her hair green, and her appearance and temperament became quirky but beautiful and moving cc.

Gu Qingyuan plays Euphemia, Shen Liqian plays Kallen, Su Yan plays Lelouch, and the actor who just became popular for playing Shirou Emiya in the drama Fate plays Suzaku
Other roles, such as the backbone of the Black Knights and the princes and princesses of the Britannian Empire, are all played by first- and second-tier stars from Xia Country. Third-tier stars are only worthy of playing minor roles, and even some fourth- and fifth-tier stars come to play guest roles as passers-by without lines.
Su Yan fans knew that Code Geass was the most expensive TV series to produce since Su Yan debuted, but when the trailer was released, they were collectively shocked.

"What is this? Is this TV series produced according to the quality of a movie?"

"It makes my blood boil."

"I was wondering why the name of this show is so weird, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion? So the protagonist's name is Lelouch!"

"What the hell is that thing in the trailer? A giant robot?"

"I think his name is Lancelot. Isn't Lancelot one of the twelve knights of the round table under King Arthur of Fate?"

"Could it be that Code Geass and the Fate series share the same worldview?"

"No, absolutely not, Fate is a world of magic!"

"possible."

"Su Yan is such a good old thief! The mythology and history of King Arthur can lead to so many things."

"Just from the trailer, this drama shocked me the most before all of Su Yan's works were released. What kind of imagination does he have? How did he come up with the idea of ​​such a giant robot?"

"In fact, there are works of this kind in Xiaguo's history, but they were all Frankensteins who made villain robot props. No one thought of arming soldiers with such things to start a war, and then creating a drama based on this setting."

"The most important thing is that before this, Xia Country didn't have such rich investors! The shooting budget exceeded 600 million in two quarters. Even if this TV series is a big hit, it is very difficult to make a profit. If you want to make a profit, you must open up overseas markets. The only person in Xia Country who dares to have such confidence is Su Yan, the old thief."

"It makes my blood boil. I will definitely support this drama after it starts airing."

"I am someone who plays games all year round and doesn't watch TV series, but I am also attracted to it. I played Su Yan's fate game before and was attracted by the plot. Today, I happened to see the trailer for his new TV series online, and now I am itching to do something."

"July, please hurry up!" "Actually, a bunch of TV series that started airing in April this season are pretty good. I enjoyed watching them, but compared to Lelouch, they're just garbage!"

"Good scripts, good actors, and huge investments. This is the path that Su Yan's Dimension Film and Television Company is taking now. It is difficult for others to imitate it."

"The advertising industry in Xia Country is about to start a bloody battle. It is estimated that a large number of companies in Xia Country will want the advertising naming rights of the TV series Lelouch of Code Geass. Other film and television companies may have to worry about making a profit when producing such a series, but for Su Yan, he may be able to recover his costs from advertising placement, naming rights, broadcasting rights and many other profit channels before the TV series starts airing."

The predictions of the audience and industry insiders in Xia Country were correct.

After the trailer for Code Geass was released, the entire TV drama industry went wild.

Anyone with a discerning eye can feel what kind of viewing frenzy this drama and works of this type will create in the industry once they become popular.

Fate is more of a youth campus theme, and only people who are in junior high school or above can appreciate it.

But war-themed works like Code Geass obviously have a much wider audience. At least even if children can't understand the plot, they can still enjoy watching mecha fighting games.

Moreover, everyone has seen the commercial value of Fate before. Su Yan's works are definitely not the kind that will lose popularity after the completion. If Code Geass can replicate the popularity of Fate, this will most likely be the third big IP born under Su Yan's company after Fate and Kenshin.

A few days after the trailer was released, many mobile phone, computer, and automobile technology manufacturers in Xia country sent people to Tokyo to negotiate with Dimension Films about advertising placement. Although the TV series was less than two months away from its premiere, it was not difficult to place an advertisement.

At the same time, the three major TV stations also collectively sent people to Tokyo to negotiate with Su Yan.

Up to now, Su Yan’s works have been broadcast on the three major TV stations in Xia Country, and he has a good friendship with the top executives of the three major TV stations.

Among them, he had the best relationship with Sakura TV's production department director Kozekida Aya, but the favor had already been repaid, so even if Kozekida Aya came in person this time, Su Yan did not break the rules.

His approach to the broadcasting rights of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion was very simple. The teams of the three TV stations went to discuss it among themselves. Su Yan disdained to do the kind of thing of waiting for a price to be offered. I'll talk to you nicely today, and if another company offers a higher price tomorrow, I'll turn my back on you.

If Su Yan really organized a bidding meeting or something, he might be able to bid tens of millions more in broadcasting copyright fees, but doing so would easily cause the three major TV stations to have opinions about him.

The three parties know each other well, and they are roughly aware of how much funding their own TV stations have this quarter and what price they can afford. You three parties just need to discuss it among yourselves. As long as the price exceeds the reserve price of 100 million Xia country currency set by Su Yan, the broadcasting rights will be sold to that party.

Su Yan's approach stumped the three parties. The leaders of the three teams were all colleagues and good friends in the Shanghai area, but they were ruthless at the negotiation table.

But in the end, it was Chuxia TV that had a larger budget this quarter and was more determined. They offered 1.13 million yen to purchase the broadcasting rights for Lelouch of Code Geass and persuaded the other two parties to withdraw, and finally won the broadcasting rights for Code Geass of Code Geass in July.

After this news broke, the Xia country's TV drama industry was collectively shocked.

1.13 million is just for the broadcasting rights. This is the ceiling price for the Xia country’s television industry to purchase broadcasting rights.
