Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 69 New Goals and Promotional Preview

[A miracle happened, the ratings of Ancient Love Song exceeded 4% after the end. 】

[If the Dignity Gilder of Sakura TV cannot protect it, then the Ancient Acacia Song will protect it. ]

【Ancient Love Song became the third drama in the autumn season to have a viewership rating of over 4%. 】

[Genius screenwriter Su Yan once again broke through himself, from 1.38% to 4.01% in ratings. This is a threshold that many screenwriters cannot cross in their lifetime, but Su Yan did it in just three months.]

【The ending of Ancient Love Song caused controversy. Fans had polarized opinions on Su Yan.】

[If nothing unexpected happens, Su Yan will win the Xia Country Best New Screenwriter Award this year. ]

The news media used exaggerated words when reporting on Su Yan.

And as Su Yan became more famous, the feud between him, Akasaka Yoshitoki, and Kiyota Sanji was also exposed online by some people.

Although there is no evidence, "Ancient Love Song" was actually scheduled to be broadcast during the midnight slot. For these TV drama viewers, evidence is not important. What they believe is what matters most.

This directly led to Kiyota Sanji being heavily criticized on the Internet as "Ancient Love Song" became popular.

Including those drama fans who criticized Su Yan.
The reason is very simple. Their resentment is directed at the screenwriter, but they definitely like the drama itself. As a result, the reputation of Kiyota Sanji is even worse than last season.

Many people have actually launched campaigns online, calling for a boycott of Kiyota Sanji's new drama, whose next unknown location is yet to be determined.

Su Yan and Shinozaki Ikumi, who were in the crew of the Moon, finally felt relieved.

"It's over. Fortunately, the situation I imagined, where fans were furious and the reputation of Ancient Acacia Song collapsed, did not happen." Shinozaki Ikumi let out a long sigh.

"Of course, I know that." Su Yan said.

"You don't think that Ancient Love Song will be the same as last season's Breeze, do you?"

"I'm definitely worried! If this kind of work is done well, it can be a depressing masterpiece, but if it's not done well, it can be just a stupid tragedy by the creative team."

"You are a genius screenwriter who controls the market with ease. We are just mortals. How can we predict what kind of reviews these plots will receive before they are broadcast? As a producer, I am anxiously watching the market response every week." Shinozaki Ikumi said unhappily.

But as he spoke, he fell silent and finally looked at Su Yan.

"But it turns out that a mortal like me really shouldn't tell you what to do."

"If you had listened to my revision of the script, the ratings of the last episode of Ancient Lovesickness would never have exceeded 4%."

"Ah, I always feel that my life has no regrets!" Shinozaki Ikumi suddenly sighed as she looked at the busy staff of the Go to the Moon crew.

"At the beginning of the year, Sakurajima Love Song suffered a disastrous failure, Rurouni Kenshin made a comeback, and Ancient Love Song reached its peak. This year, I experienced the life of most producers."

"Is the Ancient Love Song the pinnacle?" Su Yan said with a smile when he heard it.

"What about the next scene, Going to the Moon? Have you ever thought about the scene where you surpass Ancient Acacia in your performance on the Moon?"

More than Ancient Love Song?

Shinozaki Ikumi was stunned and her expression became strange.

"Going to the Moon feels like this play should be a more literary script."

Ikumi Shinozaki said as she thought about the content of the script about going to the moon that Su Yan gave her.

"As long as its ratings can remain above 3% throughout the series, it will have met the TV station's expectations."

But as Shinozaki Ikumi spoke, her voice became lower.

Is Su Yan someone who can accept average expected grades?
If he produces a drama and it passes with no mistakes, he will be happy?
Shinozaki Yumi shook her head
No, that's not right.

Don't think too complicated.

The standard for the launch of B-level dramas within the TV station is a 3% viewership rating.

The goal for A-level dramas is to have a viewership rating of more than 4%.

The outrageous situation in "Ancient Love Song" cannot be the norm. Su Yan's upper limit is very high, but it is impossible for him to be a hit in every drama.

He may have his moments of popularity, but it is impossible for him to be popular in every drama.

The screenwriter cannot be Su Yan, who always fantasizes about making a small profit with a big investment. He must be realistic.

"Going to the moon has higher investment, a better broadcasting environment, and TV stations are finally fair publicity resources."

"You have to dare to imagine! It has received much better treatment than the Ancient Acacia Song, and it is natural that its results are better." Su Yan said.

There are a lot of dramas with higher investment and better treatment than "Gu Xiang Si Qu", but how many of them performed better than this one?

Ikumi Shinozaki started to complain in her mind.

"Do you really think that when To the Moon starts airing, the ratings will be higher than the 4.01% of Ancient Love Song?"

The ratings of a slow-burning drama will definitely be average in the early stages, but it can rely on the fame of the starring stars and the quality of the production to stabilize the ratings, and then make a comeback with the gradually improving plot in the later stages.

There are quite a few TV dramas of this kind in Xiaguo.

"People always need to grow up." Su Yan paused.

"Didn't the ratings of Ancient Love Song also make it into the top three? How can we stand still or even regress?"

"So, you hope to get the second place in the ratings for Going to the Moon next quarter?" Shinozaki Ikumi's breathing was a little heavy.

Su Yan was silent for a few seconds.

"Not first." Su Yan said.

Shinozaki Ikumi was stunned.

"First?"

"Yes. Number one. Of course, it doesn't mean that "Going to the Moon" has to be number one in ratings as soon as it is broadcast, but it has to be number one in ratings before it ends," Su Yan said seriously.

Su Yan is planning to leave Sakura TV when his contract expires in April next year.

Before that, he not only had to save enough money to start a company, but also had to make his "Su Yan" brand famous.

This first place is very necessary. "Do you think that you and I will lose to the group of people in the film and television market next quarter?" Su Yan looked at Xiaozaki Yumi's hesitant expression and asked with a smile.

"Their achievements at your and my age are far less than ours."

When Shinozaki Ikumi heard this, her shoulders shook.

The most important thing for a person is to dare to think.

It is obvious that Ikumi Shinozaki is also a person who dares to think.

Many times, a person's biggest enemy is himself. When doing something, before difficulties arise, enemies come to the door, and he assumes a lot of non-existent enemies and difficulties in his mind.

The end result is mental self-consumption, and the thing is stillborn before it even starts.

If she is alone, she is very rational.

But standing next to Su Yan, looking at Su Yan's confident face and smile.

Some were assimilated
No.1 in ratings
These words aroused her ambition.

Dare to think, then dare to do.

Only if you dare to do it, you will give it your all.

How can a high school student who only cares about a monthly salary of three thousand yuan have the motivation to study and eventually get admitted to Didu University?

Can a producer who only wants to be in the top ten in the quarterly ratings produce a work that ranks first in the quarterly ratings?

Luck doesn't favor a salted fish!
The significance of setting a goal before a drama is broadcast is to give everyone in the crew a motivation to move forward.

It doesn't matter what I do. I'm not trying to get first place, so why should I make such a serious excuse to fool myself?

Neither the second nor the third one will work.

Only by setting a goal like the first one can everyone reach the upper limit of their ability and effort in work.

"First?"

"Well, first."

After getting Su Yan's clear reply.

Ikumi Shinozaki subconsciously reached out her hand towards Su Yan.

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly responded by holding her hand.

“Then, after I really took first place”

"How is it?" said Shinozaki Ikumi.

"I will tell you my new life plan in March next year."

"What new plan? Is it a new plan to work hard to become a legendary screenwriter for Xia Country starting next year?"

"It's indeed this direction, but it's not just that," Su Yan said with a smile.

December ends and New Year's Day arrives.

During the New Year's Day holiday, the average online paid playback volume of "Gu Xiang Si Qu" exceeded 9 million.

This also shows that the total sales of this drama on the online streaming platform alone exceeded 1.2 million.

Compared to its production cost of 1500 million, Sakura TV made a fortune.

At the same time, a special video of Ancient Love Song was also released on the online streaming platform.

From Lu Yuan's perspective, the forward timeline tells the story of her and Shen Buyan's life.

As soon as this chapter was released, the number of paid views exceeded three million in one day. The fans of Gu Xiangsi Qu, whose emotional wounds had just healed, were once again severely tortured by the review of the special episode.

There were tens of thousands of posts criticizing Su Yan in the comment section.

Then there is the television industry.

The first three days of January are New Year's Day holidays, and all major TV stations have their New Year's Day Gala programs.

At this time, most TV viewers are not in the mood to watch TV series. Naturally, the TV series that will be aired this season will not choose this time period for their premiere.

at the same time
The Xia Yan Award, which represents the highest award hall in the Xia country's TV drama industry, has also begun to draw up a list of nominees based on a number of masterpieces and newcomers that appeared in the Xia country's TV drama industry in the previous year.

Among them, Su Yan, Xiao Qi Yumei, Gu Qingyuan and other people in the category of producer, screenwriter, and new actor frequently appear on the nomination list of the organizing committee.
Of course, names such as Kiyota Sanji and Kanzaki Yusuke also appear on the reference list.

Although Qingfeng's reputation has exploded, its performance is indeed not bad.

Ye Ying only lost to Gu Xiang Si Qu in the works of new screenwriters in the same period on Sakura TV.
Its eleventh place in the quarter is not bad!
In addition to Sakura TV, Zhongxia TV and Hudu TV, there are also some new people emerging.

In the music section, the interludes "Kong Dai" and "Bi Shang Guan" in "Gu Xiang Si Qu" are also very popular, and Su Yan is also listed in the column of their composers.
After three days of New Year's Day.

Major TV stations in Xiaguo's film and television industry have taken action.

The four A-level dramas produced by the three major TV stations this season have started a crazy publicity mode.

Sakura TV invested 4100 million in the fantasy drama "The Door".

Zhongxia TV invested 3500 million in the housewife drama "Imperfect Divorce".

Zhongxia TV invested 3950 million in the youth love idol drama "Blue Summer"

Shanghai TV invested 4200 million yuan in the suspense horror drama "Bloody Magician".

The publicity for their launch was overwhelming.

of course
The crew of To the Moon, which had not stopped working during the New Year's Day, also promptly edited a promotional trailer for the show and submitted it to the TV station.

January 6th.
The trailer for "To the Moon" was first released during the prime time of Sakura TV.
　I am exhausted. My head hurts if I type too much in one go.

　　Of course, it may also be related to my bad condition today.
