Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 60 New Work
Everyone enjoyed the meal.

Late at night, Xiao Guantian Cai and the other two left first.

Shinozaki Yumi and Su Yan stood at the door of the restaurant.

Shanghai in December is already gloomy. Although it is not snowing, it is still very cold.

Ikumi Shinozaki pulled the collar of her white windbreaker, and looked at Su Yan who was standing next to her with a hint of complexity in her clear pupils.

"Su Yan, thank you."

"Huh? Why do you suddenly say that?" Su Yan asked.

"Thank you for considering me when you think about your future career development until now." Shinozaki Ikumi said softly.

She didn't care about anything else Su Yan said during the meal.

Only the most crucial sentence.

Under the same conditions, I choose to stay at Sakura TV.

And in the case of staying at Sakura TV, he only considered working with her Ikumi Shinozaki.

This commitment is of great significance.

Sakura TV has plenty of producers who can manage the crew well.

But a genius like Su Yan, who has proven his strength twice in a row.

I haven't come across one at Sakura TV for several years.

"Of course. You are the reason why I came into this world." Su Yan paused and quickly changed his words.

"The first friend I made after arriving in Shanghai."

"That's too much. Didn't you intern at the TV station for a year? You must have made a lot of friends. But I'm still very happy when you say that."

Shinozaki Ikumi smiled and walked towards the underground parking lot with Su Yan.

"Well. Today's dinner has dispelled many of my worries."

Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan.

"At the beginning, I set my goal for Ancient Acacia Song very low. I was too cautious because I was a frog in the well."

"But now, since Ancient Acacia Song has achieved such success, I may be a little proud of myself now."

"Gu Xiang Si Qu is doing so well right now. Maybe it can even move up a few spots in the autumn TV drama market."

"Su Yan, you have a good chance of being nominated for the Best New Screenwriter Award in the Xiaguo TV Drama Industry this year with this drama."

"And I'm already looking forward to the invitation from the awards committee to nominate the Best New Producer in January."

After taking out the car keys, Ikumi Shinozaki smoothed her hair by her ears and smiled.

She didn't drink, so she was the one who took Su Yan home.

Although she had worked at the TV station for a while earlier than Su Yan.

But she served as a producer of TV series, and her first work was the terrible drama Sakurajima Love Song at the beginning of the year, followed by Rurouni Kenshin and Ancient Love Song.

She is indeed eligible for this award.

"I have been lucky in my cooperation with you. I have a feeling that this good luck will stay with me for a long time."

Su Yan paused after hearing this, then smiled, opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Take out the word hunch."

"Good luck will be with you!"

Ikumi Shinozaki sat in the driver's seat and started the car with a smile on her face.

"I accept your good words."

She thought that the two of them should end the topic here, and what would follow would be an atmospheric silence, with Su Yan sitting in the passenger seat admiring the neon lights of Shanghai at night until he got home.

The tacit understanding between partners is beyond words!
But Su Yan was silent for only ten seconds and then suddenly spoke, breaking the atmosphere.

"Ms. Shinozaki."

"Ok?"

"Next week, the production department will hold a meeting to discuss the production of a new drama for the winter season next January, right?"

The car that Shinozaki Ikumi had just started suddenly braked, and both Su Yan and she leaned forward.

"Su Yan, why are you asking this question?"

Shinozaki Ikumi immediately turned her head, with a strange look in her eyes.

There was just over a week left to shoot the main part of Ancient Love Song.

What remains is recording, editing, music insertion, and some necessary special effects production, which may take another week or two after the shooting is completed.

But if
If Su Yan has a new script, the crew of Ancient Acacia Song will not have to disband. They can seamlessly connect and start producing the next work right away.

"You're right. I have a new script and I want to produce it and broadcast it in the winter season in January." Su Yan looked at Shinozaki Yumi and said.

hiss!
Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan with a confused expression. She had witnessed with her own eyes the amount of work Su Yan had done this quarter.

Filming of the male lead's scenes, script writing, and composition and arrangement of several popular interludes in the drama
Tell me now, can you still find time to write a new script?

you are human?
Su Yan was also tired, but there was nothing he could do.

No matter how he calculated his total net worth after the broadcast of Ancient Love Song ended and the proceeds came in, it would be at most around five or six million.

If he wants to leave Sakura TV in March next year and start his own film and television company.

At least you need to have a starting capital of nearly 10 million.

So in the winter season in January, he had to start another drama and work for Sakura TV again to earn 10 million yuan in compensation.
"Are you sure you want to shoot and produce three dramas for three consecutive seasons?" Shinozaki Ikumi took a deep breath.

"Do you think I'm a person who speaks without purpose?" Su Yan responded calmly.

"I've already thought of the script."

The atmosphere in the car was silent.

"Another depressing drama?" Shinozaki Yumi paused and asked. "Yeah, very depressing!" Su Yan said.

There was no way Shinozaki Ikumi would be fooled by Su Yan for the second time, so Su Yan did not hide what type of drama he was going to produce.

Because he spent one-third of his emotional points, about 350 million, to draw the new script last night.

He plans to use the emotion points he earned from the unaired episodes of Ancient Love Song and the remaining 700 million emotion points he has until March next year to go all in for his first self-produced drama after establishing his film and television company!

After getting Su Yan's answer, Shinozaki Ikumi felt a little toothache.

This guy is so reckless that he isn't afraid at all that his audience will come and attack him in person after being abused!

But after thinking about it carefully, those angry drama fans were probably looking for trouble with Su Yan just to get beaten.

And since Rurouni Kenshin, I have been scolded along with Su Yan.

As a producer, she has the obligation to review and ask the screenwriter to revise the script, so it is not unreasonable for her to be scolded.

But what can she do?
Su Yan became famous for these depressing dramas, and now she doesn’t dare to make any random comments.

After all, the precedent of Qingfeng with Kiyota Sanji happened only two months ago.

"What's the name of your new script?" Shinozaki Ikumi asked curiously.

"【Go to the moon!" Su Yan said softly.

Go to the moon?
ha?
What the hell is that name?

Forget it, believe Su Yan.

Shinozaki Ikumi thought for a minute.

"Give me the scripts for the first three episodes within three days, and I'll hand them over to Director Xiaoguan to arrange them in advance. No matter what." A shrewd look flashed in Shinozaki Ikumi's eyes.

"This time, we have to secure reasonable and legal resources for your new script! We will never allow that old bastard to mess things up."

Shinozaki Ikumi said this and started the car.

Because Su Yan had already decided not to renew his long-term contract with Sakura TV, he did not put as much effort into preparing the script for the January winter season as he did in the past, and did not put all his emotional energy into selecting the next work.

But this does not mean that the value of "To the Moon!" is low.

Among the many depressing works that Su Yan had read in his previous life, the feeling he felt from going to the moon was definitely top-notch.

The original work of To the Moon is not a TV series, an anime, or even a novel, but a text game.

It is a game with extremely low production costs, pixel-art graphics, and almost no playability. The audience plays it like reading a text novel.
Galgame games also have bonus pictures and bonus plots, but To the Moon even has pixelated graphics.

If you judge the original To the Moon based on its gameplay, it’s garbage.

But judging by the storytelling aspect of To the Moon, it is a masterpiece.

In the year of its release, it defeated a number of big-budget games such as Catherine and Portal and won the Best Story of the Year Award.

In addition, the game author was invited to be interviewed on CCTV because his trip to the moon moved so many domestic and foreign game players and caused a sensation.

Before Su Yan traveled to Xia Country, a project to go to the moon had already been launched in China to be made into an animated film, but unfortunately, even the personal poster has not been released for several years.

It is not clear whether it is a funding issue or some other reason.

After returning home, Su Yan looked at the three words "To the Moon" typed on the script document on his computer.

Taking a deep breath, after several years, Su Yan still felt a little nervous when he saw these three words.

After all, I couldn’t sleep the whole night after reading the plot of this work in my previous life.

But the thought of spreading this depressing mood to the residents of Xia Country.

Su Yan became excited again, and his motivation to write the script immediately increased.

Two days later, it was Sunday.

The eleventh episode of Ancient Lovesickness Song is aired.

Shen Buyan’s fourth time traveling through time begins.

This time, all the broken jades merged into one piece, and Shen Buyan brought them back to the time when Lu Yuan was 18 years old.

Even the jade pendant has traveled through time, which means this is really the last time.

And this time, Shen Buyan understood that fate cannot be defied.

He kept trying to change Lu Yuan's fate, but in the end all his actions only brought greater harm to Lu Yuan.

He looked at the 18-year-old Lu Yuan and his younger brother Lu Shi, who had not yet escaped from being slaves in the local wealthy family in Nanmeng Lake.

Therefore, the only thing Shen Buyan wanted during this time of traveling through time was to help Lu Yuan's family escape from slavery and teach this girl who did not know him and whom he met for the first time during this time of traveling through time more knowledge.
I hope that in her future life which has already been determined, she can rely on her knowledge of military affairs, strategy, politics and economics to suffer less grievances in her struggle with Li Yong.

Strictly speaking, this episode is not as sad as the previous ones.

There are just some details, such as when Shen Buyan helped Lu Yuan pick the leaves above her head, Lu Yuan took half a step back.

Just like in the first episode, when 36-year-old Lu Yuan helped Shen Buyan straighten his collar, Shen Buyan took half a step back.

At the moment when you love the other person the most in your life, you meet him/her whom you just met.

I have also experienced the harm that my unintentional behavior has caused to others.

How uncomfortable it was for 36-year-old Lu Yuan to see him.

How painful it was for Shen Buyan to get along with 18 Lu Yuan.

The sense of fate of this drama is reflected to the extreme in this episode.

But Su Yan’s previous speech became the only inner support for this group of audiences.

“Don’t be afraid, screenwriter Su Yan said so.

By the end, all the dreams of Shen Buyan and Lu Yuan will come true.

This drama must have a happy ending.”
