Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 88 New Works and Changes

The fourth day of the journey to the moon.

The average paid viewing volume of each episode of Sakura Online's Going to the Moon has officially exceeded 10 million.

The media's comments on going to the moon were all positive.

Meanwhile, Su Yan, who was slacking off in the office while reading a newspaper, had his cell phone nearly blown up by calls from all walks of life.

Zhongxia TV, Shanghai TV, and five other large TV stations that are already short of talent.

It is outrageous that such a talented screenwriter with outstanding achievements, youth and good looks has not signed any non-compete agreement or long-term contract with Sakura TV.

Although Su Yan always said on the phone that he had no intention of changing jobs for the time being.

What no idea?

You just want to wait for a higher price and ask for more money.

We all understand, we are all adults, and we are all ordinary people.

Based on the performance of Su Yan's past three works in the market, a total of seven TV stations offered Su Yan a maximum salary contract.

Among them, the prices of the five large TV stations will be slightly higher, but Zhongxia and Hudu TV Station have given additional contract conditions that are more favorable to career development in addition to the quotations.

And on Sakura TV side.

Su Yan still had no intention of renewing the contract. Xiao Guantian Cai came to ask Su Yan many times, but Su Yan said not to worry.

The argument that she was going to take a break after going to the moon and then slowly consider her future career development made her panic.

Su Yan wouldn't really be planning to change jobs, right?

In a few days, Ozaki Aya mobilized Shinozaki Ikumi twice to persuade Su Yan, but Su Yan got away with it both times.

"about there."

Su Yan looked at the emotion value in his system space.

Although waiting for a while might accumulate more, that would be a waste of time.

The lottery begins.

Su Yan first directly called up 16 million emotion points for extraction.

There is always a risk in lottery. If you draw some banned work, it will not be worth it. So Su Yan also had a trick up his sleeve. There are still 6 million emotion points left in the system space.

The system interface in the system space kept flashing, and some information flowed in Su Yan's mind.

[You have won "Your Lie in April!"]

[You have won the piano and violin performance experience package. ]

A huge stream of information flowed through Su Yan's head.

It took Su Yan a long time to wake up.

"Did you pick April?" Su Yan looked surprised.

It's definitely a win if you draw it with 16 million emotion points.

After all, if a specific redemption is required, this work requires more than 30 million emotion points to be redeemed.

Moreover, this work does not have any fantasy special effects scenes, and the scenes in the work are mostly schools, without any war or large-scale action scenes.

That is
The cost of shooting will not be too high.

This is the most important thing.

Su Yan calculated that after the proceeds from his trip to the moon came in, he would only have a net worth of a little over 10 million yuan, and he could not afford to shoot some fantasy special effects drama.

But even so, 10 million yuan of filming funds is too little for April.

Unless you don't invite any popular stars, just use amateur actors.

Su Yan thought for a moment, but his thoughts temporarily shifted to the skills he drew.

"But did you give me new skills this time? Violin, piano."

Su Yan finally understood.

The skills obtained from the lottery are basically daily things.

And these are skills possessed by important characters in the work.

For example, in To the Moon, the important characters Cheng Li and Shen Yi only have the knowledge of operating a memory machine.

Obviously, the system will not give Su Yan such a thing. Even if he draws some fantasy-themed works in the future, it will not give Su Yan any skills like superpowers.

"Don't be too greedy. I can't possibly practice Taoism in Xia Country, right?" Su Yan smiled.

After finishing everything, Su Yan exited the system space.

I was just about to continue reading the newspaper and slacking off.

but
In the screenwriting department, some unexpected news began to spread in the morning, and even he could not avoid hearing it.

"Have you heard? Director Yoshizaki Shigeyoshi of the production department has confirmed his retirement."

"Eh? Is his Alzheimer's really that serious?"

"What do you mean by Alzheimer's? Do you think he has that level of dementia? He is just in poor health due to other underlying diseases. He is a man in his seventies, and he has to attend social events and manage the production department all year round. It is very stressful and stressful. He has been hospitalized for almost a month, but his physical fitness and energy have not recovered, so he will not continue."

"Now that Yoshizaki Shigeyoshi has retired, who will be the minister?"

"Why ask? It's Akasaka Yoshitoki, of course!"

"Shit, isn't the production department going to undergo a major change?"

"Of course. Once the director changes, many producers who used to control resources in the production department may no longer be in the limelight. However, the producers who have been under Akasaka Yoshitoki for many years will definitely receive more resources for their works."

Su Yan stood at the edge of the screenwriting department and listened to the discussion of his colleagues.

"So fast?" Su Yan looked surprised.

For a senior executive of Yoshizaki Shigeyoshi's status, it is not a big problem for him to take a leave of absence for a few months or even half a year to recuperate.

Anyway, the production department is taken over by Yoshihiro Akasaka.

But he was ready to withdraw immediately.
"It seems that his physical condition is not optimistic."

But this has nothing to do with Su Yan.

Su Yan was even glad that he had made up his mind to leave Sakura TV early on.

Otherwise, if we really sign a five-year or ten-year contract with Sakura TV, won't we have to depend on Akasaka Yoshitoki's mood in the future?

Su Yan's expression was slightly solemn.

Other colleagues in the screenwriting department looked at Su Yan not far away with complicated expressions.

Who in the entire screenwriting department doesn’t know about the rivalry between Su Yan and Kiyota Sanji?
It can be said that when Su Yan blocked Kiyota Sanji's way, he was already on Akasaka Yoshitoki's blacklist.

Moreover, Ancient Love Song and To the Moon stole the limelight from the dramas produced by Akasaka Yoshitoki for two consecutive seasons. The Gilded Man and The Gate, two A-rated dramas, were overtaken by Su Yan's works in their respective broadcast seasons.
Shinozaki Ikumi, who works with Su Yan, is a subordinate of Akasaka Yoshitoki's old rival Ozekida Aya.

Now that Yoshitoki Akasaka has become the head of the production department, what should Su Yan do?
No matter how capable Su Yan is, he does not belong to Akasaka Yoshitoki's faction.
Wouldn't he be neglected and marginalized in the TV station after Yoshitoki Akasaka became the minister?
No, that should be impossible. There is a high probability that Akasaka Yoshitoki will recruit Su Yan to work for him.

In the film and television industry, where investments often amount to tens of millions, what does that little contradiction matter?

As long as Su Yan admits his mistake and expresses his apology to Akasaka Yoshitoki, given Akasaka Yoshitoki's shrewdness and the interests involved, he will definitely not reject Su Yan.

Many colleagues had various thoughts in their minds at this time.

But Su Yan was too lazy to care
Su Yan's contract expires in two weeks. Akasaka Yoshitoki will be his department manager, and Su Yan will soon have a bright future.

The screenwriter department will always discuss and make a fuss about things happening in the production department.

This is especially true within the production department.

A new official takes office with three things to do. I wonder who will be used as an example by Yoshitoki Akasaka?
Many employees in the production department actually have some idea of ​​this.

No matter what others say, Shinozaki Ikumi is definitely in big trouble.

Ikumi Shinozaki understands this very well without anyone reminding her.

If we rank the list of people to be killed as a warning to others by Akasaka Yoshitoki, she would definitely be in the top three.

Not to mention the conflicts between her and Su Yan caused by Akasaka Yoshitoki's repeated slaps in the face during these three seasons.

For example, before her mother retired, her relationship with Yoshitoki Akasaka as a colleague was extremely bad.

As far as Shinozaki Ikumi had heard, her mother had openly quarreled with Akasaka Yoshitoki at least ten times during meetings.

"Damn it, you old bastard, you are deliberately disgusting me, right?" Shinozaki Ikumi's blood pressure was a little high in the office.

That guy must have done it on purpose. He knew there was no way she would switch to his side, yet he still made this request last week. Then he quickly became a minister this week and then suppressed her.

This old man is really good at making people feel disgusted.

Do you want me to regret not agreeing to your terms and joining your team that day?
no way!

At most I can quit working at Sakura TV and go back to Sakurajima to find a new job. I won’t starve to death.

And the fact was just as Shinozaki Yumi guessed.

It was the third day since Yoshitoki Akasaka became the head of the production department.

Six pm
Shinozaki Ikumi's mother's good friend and her direct supervisor, Aya Ozekida, came to the door and said to Shinozaki Ikumi with a guilty look.

"In the production department meeting this morning, Yoshitoki Akasaka transferred, demoted, or dismissed 11 employees with poor performance and incompetence in the production team, and you were one of them."

Shinozaki Ikumi clenched her fists.

Xiao Guantiancai took a deep breath and said.

"According to Akasaka Yoshitoki, your variety show and TV series Sakurajima Love Song last year caused millions of losses to the TV station, and you should have been fired directly. But since you dug out the credit of screenwriter Su Yan."

"Okay, just tell me the result!" Shinozaki Ikumi interrupted Ozekida Aya.

There was a hint of anger and reluctance in her eyes, but her voice was calm.

"He thinks you are not suitable for the position of producer. Even if you have achieved certain results, it is Su Yan's personal screenwriting ability that leads the crew forward. If Su Yan's three dramas have a more capable producer to start the project production, it will definitely bring greater profits to the TV station."

"He used this as an excuse to transfer you from the front-line producer position to a logistics position," said Ozekida Aya.

?

Shinozaki Ikumi was almost laughing out of anger.

If it weren't for Yoshitoki Akasaka's various weird moves at the production department meeting, such as reducing investment and suggesting a bad schedule for Su Yan's work, Su Yan's work would certainly have performed better.

Now they blame her for the TV station's losses due to her lack of ability?

He really wants to be both a ghost and a god.

Xiao Guantian Cai felt very guilty.

Before, when Yoshizaki Shigeyoshi was still the minister, she was just at a disadvantage.

But now, let alone saving Shinozaki Yumi, even if she as the director does not do her job well, her position might be in danger.

"I understand." Shinozaki Ikumi took a deep breath.

Although she was angry, she also knew that this matter could not be blamed on Xiao Guantiancai.

After a while, Aya Ozeki also left Shinozaki Ikumi's office.

"Damn it, you piece of shit Akasaka Yoshitoki, why don't you just die?"

"How can there be a scumbag like you in this world?"

After Aya Kozekida left, Shinozaki Ikumi scolded that guy for half an hour in the office.

But after she got tired of cursing, she realized that this was just impotent rage. No matter how she cursed Akasaka Yoshitoki, not a single hair would fall from that guy's head.

"Logistics post?" Shinozaki Ikumi took a deep breath and sneered.

"You old bastard, Akasaka Yoshitoki, you might as well just fire me. That way I can get two more months of compensation! Damn, what a loss! You are the best at disgusting people."

Ikumi Shinozaki turned on the computer and started typing, writing her resignation letter.

But as I wrote, I felt wronged, and a tear fell on the keyboard.

Two years of time!

He has just achieved success as a producer and even won the award for Best New Producer.

But this is the ending.

"Don't cry. People do this to make you cry."

Shinozaki Ikumi quickly rubbed her eyes with a tissue.

Boom boom boom!
Just then, there was a knock on her office door.

"Please come in." Shinozaki Yumi restrained her expression and a smile appeared on her beautiful fair face.

Even if you are in a bad mood, don't make fun of yourself.

"Yo."

Su Yan pushed the door open and walked in.

Shinozaki Yumi's smiling expression froze, and then her eyes turned red.

After taking a few deep breaths, Shinozaki Ikumi spoke.

"Do you have something to talk to me about? Su Yan"

"I heard some rumors about the production department and you, so I came to ask you," Su Yan said after a pause.

"Are you interested in leaving Sakura TV with me and setting up a film and television company together?"
