Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 315 July
"Okay, it's over."

After Su Yan signed the contract, he stretched lazily.

"Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Su Yan." The person in charge of the negotiations at Zhongxia TV Station put away the contract with a serious but excited expression.

It was not until this time that Lelouch's cooperation was finalized, and he was relieved.

It was thanks to the minister's foresight that he cut the funding for some self-produced dramas in advance, so that there seemed to be enough money to compete with Su Yan's new drama at the end of the quarter.

While the person in charge was flattering the director of his own production department in his heart, he was also paying attention to Su Yan's actions.

"Let's go, Director Zhou, let's go have a meal together." Su Yan stood up and said to the person in front of him with a smile.

"No need, Teacher Su Yan, I have to go back to Shanghai and have a lot of things to do, so I won't bother you with any of that." The person in charge said quickly.

After Su Yan signed the contract, Zhongxia TV Station became busy.

The more than 100 million yuan of introduction funds must be earned back from the advertisers during the broadcast period of the TV series. By then, some advertising companies in Xia country will come to Su Yan with the contract signed by Su Yan.

"Then I won't force you." Su Yan smiled, said nothing more, turned around and left.

Like this, the three major TV stations, Sakura, Hudu and Zhongxia, which benefit equally from the three stations, should cooperate from time to time, so that they will not be hostile to themselves.

Otherwise, if Su Yan only cooperates with Xiao Guantian Cai, with whom he has the best relationship, the consequence will be that Zhongxia and Hudu TV stations will use any means to become Su Yan's enemy.

Su Yan is not afraid of direct competition in the market, but competition often comes from the back, such as the official review department of Xia Country, official censorship and so on.

Although Su Yan, who has only been famous for a few years, has become a major asset in Xiaguo's film and television industry and has a good relationship with the government, the three TV stations have been working in this industry for decades. If they are pushed to the limit, who knows what will happen.

Su Yan didn't think that just because his work was so successful in the industry, he could ignore these three major TV stations.

When you eat meat, you should always leave soup for others.

After walking out of the building and signing the contract, Su Yan was bathed in the breeze at the end of May, which was warm and made people drowsy.

"Summer is coming again!"

In June, the temperature starts to rise.

During this period, almost everyone in the Dimension Film and Television Company started working overtime.

The production of the first season of Code Geass has indeed been basically completed, but the promotion of this TV series and the cooperation and broadcasting with major foreign online broadcasting platforms and TV stations still require someone to coordinate.

At the same time, Weathering With You, which will be released at the end of July, will also start promotion, and Su Yan also has to make preparations and arrange his schedule.

At the same time, the company's subsidiaries, such as peripheral sales and production subsidiaries, are now working overtime to produce and process a number of model machines from Code Geass.

Code Geass has not yet aired, but everyone basically assumes that the show will be a hit after it airs, and the entire Dimension Film and Television Company has activated the entire industry chain from top to bottom.

In addition to the 600 million yuan invested by Su Yan in the production of this drama, a large amount of funds from Zhongxia TV Station, major companies in Xia Country that want to advertise, offline disc manufacturers, overseas online broadcasting platforms, TV stations, etc. are all revolving around the drama "Code Geass". The economic activities generated in this process also boosted the income of tens of thousands of workers in the industrial chain.

Soon, it was mid-June.

After two years, Su Yan and Zhongxia TV cooperated again.

Speaking of which, after Su Yan left Sakura TV, works such as East Love, Edge Walker, and Madoka Magica were all broadcast on Zhongxia TV. However, in order to repay a favor, Su Yan put the subsequent dramas on Sakura TV. After more than two years of twists and turns, it has now moved to Sakura TV again.

So when Sakura TV invited Su Yan to go to Shanghai to record a promotional variety show about Lelouch, Su Yan only considered it for a day before agreeing. After all, he did have a good relationship with the top management of Zhongxia TV. Although he was very busy, Su Yan would still give this face.

In an interview program on Zhongxia TV, Su Yan also revealed a lot of ideas about Code Geass or mecha-themed works.

If Lelouch does well, then he actually already has script ideas for a series of mecha-themed works in his mind.

It’s hard to say what the specific story is, but what I can reveal is that the title of the work will have two words “Gundam”!
Gundam?

For Xia Guo’s fans, this name is too unfamiliar and they have no idea what it means.

But this was the first time in the next few decades that the name of a phenomenal film and television IP in Xiaguo was mentioned in public.

This interview with Su Yan was also remembered by Gundam fans around the world for many years to come and was placed in the hall of Gundam IP history.

For Su Yan’s current colleagues, they may think that Su Yan is now at the peak of his life.

But looking back twenty years later, we will find that Su Yan is still in the rising stage and is far from reaching his peak.

The interview trip to Shanghai was both work and vacation for Su Yan.

The first season of Code Geass has been completed, and the second season has also been filmed and is in post-production.

The filming of other works has basically been completed. As for Howl's Moving Castle, during the time when Su Yan was not in Tokyo, the scenes of the heroine Sophie were filmed, which did not affect the progress.

Su Yan had a pleasant week and took a short trip to the inland area.

During this time, time passed, the temperature gradually rose, and it was approaching July.

In late June, the promotional trailer for Weathering With You was officially released.

The quality and plot of Weathering With You are actually inferior to Your Name.

Especially the ending, which was criticized by a number of Chinese audiences when Su Yan's previous life movie was released.

But it just so happened that this work had a good reputation in Sakurajima, Su Yan’s previous life, and as time went by, its reputation among the Chinese community also rose.

In fact, from Su Yan's perspective, the biggest problem is that the male protagonist seems too weak and indecisive in many plots. The female protagonist Hina may not be inferior to Miyamizu Mitsuha in charm, but the male protagonist is far less charming, so in the filming of the Xiaguo movie version, the male protagonist was made to perform a little more decisively.

The plot is still the same, but the character of the protagonist in this type of work still needs to be slightly changed to suit the aesthetic tastes of the Xia people.

In the last week of June, the third trailer for Code Geass was released.

The total number of hits on major online streaming platforms exceeded 30 million in two days, and there were hundreds of thousands of related discussion posts.

With the joint publicity campaign of Dimension Films and Zhongxia Television, Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion, which premiered at 8 p.m. on Sunday, July 6, has become basically known to everyone in the Xia country's film and television drama fans.

Thousands of TV drama fans are counting the days waiting for this day to come.

Soon, time passed, a few days went by, and June ended.

July is here, and summer has officially begun.
