Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 38 Goal
Tong Xiaoqi calmed down and focused on the trailer.

Before today, all Jianxin fans only knew that Su Yan was going to film a new drama called "Ancient Love Song", and that was it.

The subject matter of the work, the actors involved, and the members of the production team are all unclear.

Even if Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan are starring in this drama, we still have to consider the subject matter.

[We are not casual acquaintances, you have always appeared in my life. 】

Gu Qingyuan's voice rang out.

The screen flashed.
Lu Yuan, dressed in red, lying in a pool of blood, looked at Shen Buyan who was hugging her. He knew nothing and was confused. He didn't know why Lu Yuan risked her life to save him. There was a flash of attachment, reluctance and determination in her eyes. She smiled and spoke.

[You will see me again! ]

Just from this picture, Tong Xiaoqi can be sure of one piece of information.

Costume drama!
Moreover, it is most likely a love story.

But the next second, the camera switched again.

Shen Buyan woke up in his room, wearing modern clothes. In front of him was a laptop computer that was not turned off and several pieces of broken jade.

"Ah?" Tong Xiaoqi blinked?

what happened?

Laptops appear in costume dramas?

What is the subject of this work?

Moreover, the scene of Lu Yuan lying in a pool of blood just now gave her a bad feeling. Could this be another depressing drama?
Suddenly, the trailer music becomes exciting.

Su Yan's narration sounded.

[I went back to before the Yuanqi Incident, back to the past time and space. Lu Yuan and I met in a reverse time and space.]

When Tong Xiaoqi saw this, her brain CPU started running at high speed.

After a few seconds, my mind suddenly became clear.

Back in time
No wonder.

There are no time-travel films or TV series in Xia Country, and when the trailer gave a little hint of it, Tong Xiaoqi’s curiosity was aroused after she understood it.

No wonder there are both ancient and modern costumes.

【First meeting, farewell.】

Tong Xiaoqi couldn't understand the words that appeared in the trailer at that moment.

She had only just begun to understand the concept of time travel.

But if she had watched the entire play of Ancient Love Song and then watched this trailer, she would have discovered the meaning and depression represented by these few simple words.

That's the end of the Riddler hints.

The next shots show various highlights of Prime Minister Li Yong, maid Yihua, younger brother Lu Shi, and Emperor Yuanqi.

War, conspiracy, suspense, martial arts, romance
Tong Xiaoqi could probably tell the genre of this drama from the shots that flashed across the screen.

Moreover, the quality of this drama can also be seen.

Apart from the fact that the actors invited are really not famous, the costumes, makeup, background, and picture quality are all improved compared to Rurouni Kenshin.

[If it is God's will, please forgive me for my strange look when you loved me the most]

Finally, Gu Qingyuan's voice sounded.

The camera flashed across a scene at an execution ground where people were cheering and wanting to kill a woman.

Shen Buyan, who was wearing modern clothes, looked into the eyes of the graceful and elegant woman who was about to be killed.

The trailer ends here.

"Ancient Love Song, October 1st, broadcast at 12:00 midnight" appeared on the screen in large characters.

Tong Xiaoqi blinked at this moment.

The trailer was a little confusing, but her curiosity was undoubtedly there, and she was intrigued.

Even if the male and female protagonists in this trailer are not played by Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan, she will still be attracted by the plot of the trailer.

Time travel is already gimmicky enough.

Why did Lu Yuan say that sentence at the end: "When you loved me the most, please forgive my strange look?"

What is this setting?
Who would fall in love with a stranger who has never had any intersection, contact, or even met him?
Tong Xiaoqi clicked on the comment section of the official page of Ancient Love Song.

[Awesome! I just checked the crew information of Ancient Love Song. The male lead is Su Yan and the female lead is Gu Qingyuan.]

[And this drama has been confirmed to be a quarterly drama, with at least twelve episodes. ]

[Finally, there will be no shortage of dramas next season. The three major TV stations are pushing "The Lone Doctor" and "The Gilded Man" in the autumn schedule. I can see that they are routine dramas. These themes are produced every year. Don't you get tired of them? ] [No way, it's hard to stand out even if you don't have any talent. For those who don't have talent, like Kiyota Sanji, why can his drama be broadcast at 10 pm on Saturday night, while Teacher Su Yan's drama can only be broadcast in the early morning? ]

[Talent overcomes everything. I dare say that as long as Ancient Love Song has the quality of Rurouni Kenshin, this drama will definitely be a hit in the midnight slot.]

[I don’t really care whether Ancient Love Song is popular or not. I just hope that Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan in the story can live happily and fulfill the regrets of Xue Dai Ba and Jian Xin.]

[As long as Mr. Su Yan's drama is sweet, I will be his loyal believer for the rest of my life. ]

[Me too, I have set a reminder on my phone to wake me up in the early hours of October 1st to watch Ancient Love Song.]

[Who are the Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan, Kenshin, and Yukishiro Tomoe you are talking about? I have no idea. I was attracted here by the trailer of the Sakura TV commercial. Is this person named Su Yan very powerful? ]

【? Any new fans? 】

[Of course it's amazing. This screenwriter named Su Yan produced a very sweet TV series called Rurouni Kenshin last season, which is broadcast on Sakura.com. You should go and watch it quickly. It's so good and sweet that it makes me want to cry.]

[I testify that Rurouni Kenshin is indeed very sweet. 】

[The sweetest drama in the universe, you will regret it if you don’t watch it. If you don’t think it’s sweet after watching it, it’s free! ]

[I also testify that Rurouni Kenshin is the sweetest drama in history. 】

[Really? I just like watching sweet dramas. Thank you for your guidance.]

In the afternoon, Kiyota Sanji looked at the number of views of the trailer for "Ancient Love Song" on Sakura.com and a relaxed smile appeared on his lips.

Compared to "Night Sakura" which is broadcast during prime time on Sakura TV and has a special promotional link on the homepage of Sakura.com.

The number of clicks on the trailer of "Ancient Love Song" is obviously much lower than that of "Night Sakura".

So what even if Su Yan has the support of Rurouni Kenshin’s fans?

At most, there will be a million loyal fans staying up late to watch the show.

Putting aside the fact that these fans can stay up late for weeks, first of all, Rurouni Kenshin's fans are nothing compared to the hundreds of millions of TV viewers in Xia Country.

Even if there is a little blessing, how much can it add to the formula for calculating the ratings?
The broadcast schedule has a decisive influence on the performance of a drama.

Except for those dramas that have a good reputation and are praised by the whole network and recommended by fans spontaneously, the performance of most dramas is determined by the broadcast schedule.

And with this Ancient Love Song, with just this little bit of publicity, is it possible for it to make a comeback in the midnight slot?

Strictly speaking, the opening trailer for Ancient Love Song is pretty good, at least almost all Rurouni Kenshin fans are looking forward to it.

But among the many TV series and movies that are about to be aired in the fall season, its popularity is indeed not high.

The number of TV viewers can differ several times between a good broadcasting schedule and a bad broadcasting schedule.

Many people are certainly not willing to pay attention to the dramas aired at midnight on Sunday night. After all, most people have to rest during that time. Unless the drama is really popular and all classmates and colleagues are talking about it, then it is another matter just to keep up with the discussion around you.

This is also normal.

Moreover, for Su Yan, the Ancient Love Song had emerged in a poor broadcasting environment in his previous life.

Su Yan is not too anxious about the popularity of the work before it is broadcast. What he is more concerned about is whether "Gu Xiangsi Qu" can become popular through word of mouth after it is broadcast, just like in its previous life, despite poor publicity and low investment.

But Shinozaki Ikumi is different, she has to consider a lot.

The average viewership for Sakura TV's Sunday midnight slot over the past two years is 1.02%. As long as "Ancient Love Song" can exceed this figure, it would actually be considered good.

But Shinozaki Ikumi also understood that Akasaka Yoshitoki was waiting to pick on her and Su Yan, and only getting average grades would be equivalent to failing the exam.

There are more than 30 A, B, and C-level TV series and movies that will be broadcast in the autumn season on the three major TV stations. They are interspersed at various time points from Monday to Sunday to satisfy the drama-chasing habits of a group of drama fans in Xiaguo.

In addition, various TV stations often rebroadcast some high-scoring dramas from previous seasons.

In addition to the three giant TV stations in Shanghai, Xiaguo also has several smaller large TV stations.

They will also produce film and television dramas and broadcast them. Even if these dramas cannot compete with the A-level dramas of the three major TV stations, they can definitely compete with the B-level dramas of the three major TV stations.

Generally speaking, in each quarter, there are hundreds of film and television works competing in the major TV station markets in Xia Country.

Although the release date is not good, after all, it has the support of Rurouni Kenshin's previous fans and independent publicity.

Shinozaki Ikumi is somewhat confident and has set a ratings target for the show.

The ratings exceeded 1.4%.

And among the TV series and movies aired in the autumn season, its ratings ranked among the top 30 among all the TV series and movies aired in that period!

After the target result came out, the entire crew, including Shi Peihua, actually felt some pressure.

Because this goal is not easy.

But for Su Yan, he thought about it and asked out of curiosity.

"Is this goal set so low? No matter what, Ancient Acacia Song can't be lower than Ye Ying's score!"
