Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 5 Meeting
The next day after submitting the script, Su Yan still did not receive any information from the station.

Normally, if a new screenwriter like him submits a script and gets notified of any results within a week, it is considered a relatively fast process by the station's production department.

But that's how people are. They will feel anxious during the waiting process.

After all, it doesn't mean that the producers will necessarily study the scripts that have been submitted.

What if the people in the company's production department become slacking off?

Or maybe their vision is poor.

It's normal that no one was interested in Rurouni Kenshin's script.

The many bad dramas Su Yan had produced in his previous life have fully proved that there are too many unqualified professional producers.

Just as Su Yan was daydreaming in his mind, there was some noise coming from the screenwriting department.

Su Yan turned his head and saw that many employees in the screenwriting department were gathered around Kiyota Sanji's desk, discussing something.

After a few minutes, Su Yan understood.

The script "Qingfeng" co-written by Sanji Kiyota and Yusuke Kanzaki has been contacted by the station's producer Tu Heng.

It's not surprising that the producer is interested in the script submitted by Kiyota Sanji, because of his uncle's relationship.

But it’s different if the producer who takes over is Tu Heng.

In the five years since Tu Heng joined the company, he has grown from a new producer to the person who has produced two TV series that were once broadcast on Sakura TV.

Among them, the detective drama "Black Fog" produced last year even won the ninth place in the national ratings that quarter.

Even if Tu Heng is not a gold medal producer in the station, he is still a senior producer with certain achievements. He has been silent for half a year and has done nothing. Now he has made a move and even lowered his status to help Kiyota Sanji produce a web series.
"sharp."

All I can say is that Kiyota Sanji's uncle is really powerful. This kind of thing would not be something that the young producer Tuheng, who has a bright future, would actively request. It must be a political task imposed on Tuheng by the deputy director of the production department, Yoshitoki Akasaka.

Let's compare him with the original owner of Su Yan's body. He worked as a handyman in the screenwriting department for two years before being promoted from an intern to a full-time employee. Now he is still working hard to get a low-budget short web drama project off the ground.

Su Yan smiled and shook his head.

He is also a layman.

He will not look down on people with connections. The purpose of people's hard work is to make things convenient for those around them.

If Su Yan were an ancient emperor, he would let his son inherit the throne. If he became a wealthy man, he would also help his relatives and friends.

He just lamented that he was not reborn into a wealthy family and had to start a life of ease.

You have to start from the beginning as a screenwriter.

It's me
But at this moment, Kiyota Sanji was enjoying the praise from a group of colleagues in the office. For a vain person like him, the focus has never been on those people around him who flatter and try to get close to him.

It's the other people in the office who haven't shown up yet.

Just then he saw Su Yan smiling and shaking his head, and his brows furrowed.

What are you laughing at?
What are you shaking your head for?

Are you laughing at the fact that Yusuke Kanzaki and I were co-chief screenwriters in the script of "Seikaze", but in fact I didn't contribute much and was just a figurehead?
Or do you shake your head and ask me to use my uncle's relationship to let Tu Heng be the producer of my work?

The more connected you are, the more sensitive you are.

Kiyota Sanji had always disliked Su Yan, so he spoke deliberately at this time.

"Su Yan, I remember you submitted a script to the station yesterday, right? How is it going? There must be some news, right?"

At this time, Kiyota Sanji showed a gentle smile on his face and took the initiative to ask Su Yan who was not far away.

Su Yan was stunned. He looked at the dozens of pairs of eyes of his colleagues in the office and Kiyota Sanji's gentle smile. After thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face.

"Not yet, Kiyota-senpai."

"I've already told you, Su Yan, there's no need to call me senior. Although I'm older than you, you joined the TV station two years earlier than me. We can just call each other by our names." Kiyota Sanji said gently.

"But your script was only submitted yesterday, so perhaps the news of the project approval has not yet reached our screenwriting department. But I believe that with your talent accumulated over two years, the script you submitted to the station for the first time will definitely be selected and approved. If you have good news by then, please let us know so that we can celebrate for you together."

Su Yan looked at Kiyota Sanji and his eyes fixed.

Hmm. With this tone, you are being sarcastic, right?
Ah.
"I understand, Kiyota Sanji, if there is news that my script is approved for filming, I will tell everyone." Kiyota Sanji?

?

Are you really taking advantage of the situation and not even calling me senior?

Kiyota Sanji felt a tightness in his chest.

He said so, but he didn't expect Su Yan to actually dare to call him by his name.

He looked at Su Yan's face carefully. He was smiling, handsome, innocent, and looked like a fool.

Is he really so brainless?
Kiyota Sanji hesitated.

But for Su Yan
He is not from Sakura Province. When working at Sakura TV Station, calling someone "senior" is in line with local customs, but it is only basic respect. If you don't want this little respect, then forget it.

There was something wrong with Kiyota Sanji's attitude towards Su Yan, and other employees present also noticed it.

Just then, someone from the front desk of the screenwriter department came in and shouted.

"Writer Su Yan, Ikumi Shinozaki from the production department wants to see you. Do you have time now?"

"Yes" Su Yan was stunned when he heard it.

What could the people from the production department want from him? Is there any need to think about it?
He instantly put aside the unpleasantness brought by Kiyota Sanji.

"Sorry everyone, I have something to do now and I have to leave first." Su Yan said to a group of colleagues in the production department.

Then he hurriedly tried to walk out of the screenwriting department, but suddenly thought of something on the way. He went to the cabinet at his workstation, picked up a file bag and left in a hurry.

Ikumi Shinozaki from the production department?

At this time, the people in the screenwriter department recalled briefly and remembered who this person was.

In any department, the best and the worst people are always impressive.

Sakurajima Love Story was ranked second among the top ten worst online dramas in the first half of the year, and the main creative team was from the TV station, so Shinozaki Ikumi was naturally well known by the screenwriter department.

After all, no one wants to fall into a trap in the future.

When looking for a cooperating producer, you have to look for one who is reliable, capable, and well-connected. Only in this way can the other party help you attract more investment for your script, more famous star actors, and a more capable team.

It is obvious that Ikumi Shinozaki is already at the caterpillar level in the evaluation criteria of the screenwriter department's producers.

What could be the reason why Shinozaki Ikumi came to see Su Yan? She must have taken a fancy to his script!
Kiyota Sanji figured this out and nodded thoughtfully.

A new screenwriter who was only hired after two years of internship is paired with a producer who just led the production of a well-known bad drama last quarter. They are a perfect match.

Are they going to put on a grand show?

What a flop configuration!
Moreover, if Su Yan's script is really noticed and passes the budget review of the production department, it will definitely be put on the online broadcast platform, and it may be released at the same time as his "Qingfeng".

Huh?
It feels okay.

In this way, wouldn't Su Yan's work become the background to highlight Qing Feng's outstanding achievements?

Just because I don't like Su Yan, it would be refreshing to say hello to my uncle and have his script rejected directly in the project review of the production department.

But wouldn’t it be more satisfying to just use the performance of other works produced during the same period to surpass his drama?

Outside the screenwriter department, Su Yan straightened his clothes and appearance.

Then, under the guidance of the front desk, he met the person who came to see him in the reception room outside the screenwriter department.

Under the light green dress were long black legs and draped hair. Under the sun hat was a fair and delicate face. When she saw Su Yan walk into the room, her clear eyes were fixed on him and a smile appeared on her face.

Shinozaki Ikumi
Su Yan didn't expect that the producer who was discussed by the editorial department for several days last season for producing the bad drama Sakurajima Love Song was actually such a beauty.

On the other side, Shinozaki Ikumi on the opposite side also had similar thoughts in her mind.

Unexpectedly, this new screenwriter who worked in the screenwriting department for two years as an intern before being hired as a full-time employee turned out to be such a handsome and masculine boy.
