Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 322 Plan
The box office performance of Weathering With You can only be said to be completely within the market's expectations.

After all, Su Yan has basically dominated the Spring Festival and summer vacation schedules in the past three years.

He releases two movies every year during the two best periods of the year, and the entire industry and the market have become accustomed to it.

The reputation and plot of Weathering With You are indeed slightly inferior to Makoto Shinkai's Your Name, but this does not mean that the movie's box office will definitely be bad.

When Your Name was released, Su Yan was definitely not as famous as he is now, and the audience's tolerance of Su Yan was not as high as it is now. The movie did cause some controversy over the plot within a few days after it was released, but these controversies did not expand.

The main reason is that even if Weathering With You is slightly worse than Your Name, the quality of the films produced by other companies during the same period in the summer season, or even in recent years, is still much better.

Not to mention the plot, the quality of the movie that Su Yan spent hundreds of millions of dollars to produce is obvious.

This is a far cry from some movies that claim to have invested hundreds of millions of dollars but actually only lost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Soon, it was August.

The fifth episode of the first season of Code Geass: The Rebellion begins.

By now, the plot of the work "Code Geass" has basically been put on the right track.

Lelouch is a student at the aristocratic academy under Britannia during the day, and at night he climbs over the wall to the outside of the concession, using the alias Zero, to lead the people of Sakurajima in their resistance against the imperial colonization.

Not to mention that there are no such works in the Xiaguo TV drama market, there are also no TV dramas of this type produced in recent years in all countries in the entire Xiaguo plane.

In Xiaguo, the Weathering With You movie and Code Geass TV series dominated the film and television industry's media attention this week.

Overseas, the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion TV series topped the charts in the six countries and online streaming platforms where it was aired.

Although the face of Lelouch played by Su Yan is still oriental, his name and the mixed Eastern and Western ancestry of Su Yan in the background setting of the changed Xia Kingdom plane still make it easy for overseas audiences to accept this.

Anyway, Su Yan is in the Fate series, but Gilgamesh, the king of the Western country, was also played by Gilgamesh in Se Ding. It is not surprising that he played a half-blood prince of the Western Empire in Code Geass. Who said that the screenwriter, investor, and leading actor of this drama, Su Yan, is from Xia?
Moreover, in foreign countries, fans of Lelouch are more fanatical than those in Xia Guo. This kind of revolutionary drama naturally piques their interest, which directly led to a large number of messages from foreign fans who had climbed over the wall under Su Yan's creator account in Xia Guo.

The performance of this TV series overseas basically met Su Yan's initial expectations of it. Although it was also due to the several hundred million publicity funds allocated by Su Yan for overseas regions, Lelouch did complete the task of opening up the overseas market, making Su Yan and Dimension Film and Television Company an instant hit among overseas TV drama fans.

In Tokyo area, Su Yan, who had just finished filming Howl's Moving Castle in the afternoon and returned to his villa after dinner, checked the box office of Weathering With You.

Although the box office exceeded 7 million in two days after its release, the box office in the first seven days was only 14 billion. The total box office will definitely exceed 20 billion, but it will probably be difficult to break 30 billion.

The box office performance of a movie has a lot to do with word of mouth. The reputation of Weathering With You is indeed slightly worse than that of Your Name.

Su Yan thought about it for a moment but didn't worry too much. This result was basically expected before the movie was released.

Besides, Su Yan is not sure that each of his works will be better than the last. In the past, he was in a period of rapid fan growth, so of course his works were better than the last.

But now his fan base in Xia Country is basically saturated.

Anyone who pays attention to movies and TV series knows him. After the growth of fans reaches the upper limit, the upper limit of Su Yan's performance will definitely depend on the quality of his works.

Su Yan's fingers were tapping something on his laptop. After the release of Weathering Son, the only projects that the company has not yet aired are Code Geass Season 2 and Howl's Moving Castle.

Of course, Rurouni Kenshin still has two or three movies to be produced to complete the entire series! And after completing the Kenshin movie series in four years, some new actors can be trained to shoot the Kenshin TV series. Although Su Yan was not yet thirty years old at that time, he probably didn't have time to shoot a long TV series that would take seven or eight seasons. It would be better to give young people some opportunities. At most, he could occasionally guest-star as a martial arts instructor on the set, or guest-star as the master of the TV version of Kenshin, Hiko Seijuro. The movie version of Hiko Seijuro's hands were not good enough, and he couldn't achieve the domineering effect that Su Yan imagined.

In the Fate series, Su Yan is also preparing to put the UBW line and HF line on the agenda. After all, with so many fans around the world, Su Yan cannot give up this IP.

Then
Su Yan looked at the two words "Mecha" that he had typed.

Code Geass is just a test, EVA and Gundam series are Su Yan's ultimate goal in producing such works in Xia Country.

In the past life, Hollywood in the United States filmed the Marvel Comics Universe, which was about to go bankrupt, into a TV series, bringing this IP back to life.

In fact, Su Yan had similar thoughts.

Works like EVA and Gundam can first be filmed into TV series to gain popularity and then enter overseas markets.

Then invest a lot of money to shoot a special effects movie that can be shown in theaters.

Universe, starry sky, mecha
These elements themselves are suitable for being made into blockbuster movies, but the investment is relatively large. In the Xia Kingdom plane, there is no film production base like Hollywood in the previous life that covers both the East and the West, so these blockbuster movies are basically not popular in the countries in the Xia Kingdom plane.

Even if the movie sells well in its own country, it may still end up losing money in the end.

Hollywood movies often fail to recoup their costs in their home country and have to rely on the global market to make a profit.

The size of the market determines how much investment you can make.

But for Su Yan
He is actually now slowly opening up the Western market.

Finally, Su Yan paid attention to the cash in his company account.

After the continuous profits of many works and Su Yan's purchase of a lot of assets and online streaming platform stocks, the company still has more than 5 billion in cash in its account.
Su Yan now suddenly felt more confident.

EVA's emotional value is not enough for the time being. This anime series has only more than 20 episodes and several theatrical movies. It created a value of more than 10 billion US dollars in Su Yan's previous life.

Its value is almost half of that of One Piece, which has been serialized for nearly 30 years, and is equivalent to the value of the entire Naruto IP series.

Even for Su Yan now, it is difficult to exchange EVA.

But the Gundam series is different.

Although the IP value of the entire series exceeded 10 billion in the previous life, there are dozens of works over the past few decades. It would be no pressure for Su Yan to only exchange the more classic ones.

Soon, Su Yan, who was immersed in the system space, spent all his emotional value.
