Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 55 Critical Moment
The plot of the eighth episode of Ancient Love Song is slightly less depressing than the previous episodes.

Shen Buyan made Lu Yuan angry because of the assassination of Li Yong, and then Shen Buyan took great effort to coax Lu Yuan, and finally made Lu Yuan forgive him.

To put it bluntly, Shen Buyan's mentality in this episode has changed greatly from before.

He admitted that as a weak modern man, it was unrealistic for him to engage in assassination and kill Li Yong.

But his purpose was only to save Lu Yuan. As long as he could take Lu Yuan away from the imperial capital, he couldn't care less about how Li Yong stirred up trouble in Shengguo.

And Shen Buyan's plan was indeed going smoothly.

Lu Yuan agreed to go with him to Nanmeng Lake, their former home, to take a look.

and here
Many foreshadowings have been revealed.

For example, in the first episode, Shen Buyan met an old lady under an ancient tree and bought broken jade from her.

And that ancient tree is actually in Lake Nanmeng, but it hasn't grown this big yet.

The mysterious old lady in the first episode said that if you write your wish on a wooden sign, hang the sign on a tree and make a wish, your wish will eventually come true.

This is the tradition of the ancient Sheng State.

But Lu Yuan and her maid Yihua said that Shengguo did not have such a tradition
But Lu Yuan was obviously interested in this statement.

In fact, sensitive audiences have already noticed that the tradition of hanging a plaque to make a wish in Sheng State may have been promoted and passed down to the modern era because Shen Buyan told Lu Yuan about it and Lu Yuan became the queen.

Another closed loop.

Lu Yuan, who was with Shen Buyan in Nanmeng Lake, became more and more worried as time went by.

Shen Buyan finally knew what Lu Yuan was thinking.

She knew Emperor Yuanqi, and he liked her. Lu Yuan also knew that Emperor Yuanqi was ready to attack Beilie as soon as he ascended the throne, which would bring disaster to Sheng State.
The entire eighth episode's plot finally had a turning point at the end.

[If I can change Emperor Yuanqi's determination to march north and prevent war in Sheng State, are you willing to live with me in Nanmeng Lake and spend the rest of your life here?] Shen Buyan asked.

[How can I easily agree to you? ]

The seventh episode ends with the shot of Lu Yuan’s bright eyes and smiling face.

The audience who stayed up late at night were very satisfied with the show.

Isn't the turning point here?

Can't agree easily?

The subtext is, if you can really make Emperor Yuanqi give up the Northern Expedition and give up using war, then I, Lu Yuan, will naturally not think about entering the palace or having too much interaction with the emperor.

The screenwriter has changed his character and didn't come up with any heart-wrenching plot in this episode?
"The male protagonist Shen Buyan is smart this time!"

"Lu Yuan only wants to save Shengguo, and Shen Buyan only wants to save Lu Yuan. Alas. This is the first time that I hope the heroine of a drama is a love-brained person. If Lu Yuan didn't have so many feelings for her country, her fate would have been changed long ago."

"What are you talking about? If Lu Yuan is really a love-brained person, would you still find this character attractive?"

"A true heroine is definitely not someone who considers love more important than anything else. She is willing to die for Shen Buyan, but is willing to give up the chance to be with Shen Buyan for the sake of Shengguo."

"In fact, the first few episodes were all about death and various tragic fates, which left me with a shadow when watching this drama. I still feel a little uncomfortable watching the eighth episode today. There was actually no drama?"

"The screenwriter obviously made the first half of the film cruel, but started to give out sweet things in the second half! The daily scenes of Lu Yuan and Shen Buyan making wishes under the tree at Nanmeng Lake and grilling fish by the lake really made me cry. Perhaps it was because of these beautiful memories that Lu Yuan waited for Shen Buyan for fifteen years."

"It's a rare good drama. It's a pity that the release date is so bad, otherwise I think Gu Xiang Si Qu will definitely be among the top three dramas in the ratings this season."

"It's not bad now! Maybe in a week or two, the ratings will be in the top ten."

In the eighth week of the autumn season, the eighth episode of Ancient Lovesickness ranked twelfth in the season with a viewership rating of 2.98%.

In the same week, Kiyota Sanji's Night Sakura ranked 3.09th in the quarter with a viewership rating of %.

At this time, a lot of people in the entire Xia country's television industry were staring at Gu Xiangsiqu.

Although the ratings have slowed down in the past two weeks, compared to most dramas this season, this performance is already several levels ahead of those works. For example, Night Sakura had this rating when it first aired, and it was still the same in the eighth episode.

The fluctuation does not exceed 0.05%, which is so stable that it makes people want to sleep.

However, this week, the eighth episode of The Lone Doctor became the second drama of the autumn season to have a viewership rating of over 4%, following The Man in the Picture.

With a viewership rating of 4.03%, it ranked second in the viewership rankings.

At this time, among the three A-level dramas of the three major TV stations, only Sakura TV's Gilded One has not broken 4%. The entire crew is now feeling a little uncomfortable.

Although the performance of its two competitors was not much better, one was 4.11% and the other was 4.03%, but at least their ratings exceeded 4%.

The Gilded Man had an investment of nearly 3.96 million, and the ratings for the eighth episode were only %.
And at this time, the ratings of "Gu Xiangsi Qu" almost broke 3%.

It even made the crew members of the three dramas invested by Sakura TV, "Night Sakura", "Under the Blue Sky" and "The Gilded Man" feel a little embarrassed.

If the results are not as good as expected, you can use the excuse that the autumn market is not good and the performance of dramas on all TV stations is average.

But when you find that you have a work like Ancient Love Song in your camp that can make it out of the late-night slots, can you still say that the market is not good?

Especially Kiyota Sanji, he hasn't slept well in the past few days.

Although there is still a glimmer of hope in my heart, I actually know it very well in my heart.

It is only a matter of time before the ratings of "Ancient Love Song" surpass those of "Ye Ying".

The dream that I once imagined, that Yeying's ratings would reach the top ten of the quarter, that I would be taken seriously by the station from then on, that I would be hailed as a talented new screenwriter, and that I would win this year's Best New Screenwriter Award and rise to prominence, was on the verge of being shattered.

On Sunday night, Kiyota Sanji left the crew and returned home, looking at his haggard face in the mirror.

The temperament of a loser.

After midnight, the ninth episode of Ancient Lovesickness Song will be aired.

He has always been very proud. So what if he has no talent?
How can having connections be more important than talent?
But now, Su Yan's rise slapped him hard in the face.

He totally didn't understand and couldn't figure out why "Ancient Love Song" could be released during the midnight time slot?

What was most painful was that the filming funds for Ancient Lovesickness were taken from the original budget of Yeying.

If there was no Ancient Love Song and Night Cherry Blossom, with an investment of more than 10 million, and if more famous stars and better directors were hired, these dramas would have great potential to break into the top five in the ratings this quarter, even though the ratings are so low.

Now, if Yeying's ratings are really surpassed by Gu Xiangsiqu
Then Kiyota Sanji will become the laughing stock of the TV station for a long time.

There's nothing funny about connections.

Everyone wants to be a person with connections.

But the people with connections, who have everything going for them, are still being pushed to the ground like this.
This is straight out of the script for the Joker King.

Thinking of this scene, the proud Kiyota Sanji almost blushed.

At night, Kiyota Sanji tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he went to the living room and turned on the TV.

He knew that there was only one way to avoid becoming a TV joke.

The ninth episode of Ancient Love Song, which was aired on Sakura TV tonight, had a completely shattered plot, with a plot that could cause the reputation of the show to plummet.

The plot is even more exaggerated than the last two episodes of Qing Feng
Time passed, and after midnight, the screen of Sakura TV paused, and the ninth episode of Ancient Lovesickness Song began to air.

Kiyota Sanji's expression became extremely nervous.

There was only one thought in my mind.

Ancient Love Song, come on!
