Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 96 Preview and July

"That's a bit exaggerated. You Su Yan fans can't belittle Shen Liqian just to promote Su Yan, right?"

"That's right. I believed you when you said Su Yan could play the piano and could imitate the standard movements during filming and then find some pianists to dub for her later. But now you're making up a story that Su Yan's violin attainments are better than Shen Liqian's? I was there at her youth violin final five years ago. Her level is absolutely unquestionable!"

"If you don't believe me, you'll know after the show starts. When I was performing as an extra in the concert hall, I was also very skeptical about the performance level of Su Yan. But after a few days of performing as an extra, I can only say that if Su Yan didn't become a screenwriter or actor, he would definitely be famous in Xia Country as a violinist or pianist."

"And this drama didn't hire any pianists or violinists for dubbing. The official website has already announced the dubbing list for the music part, and they are Su Yan and Shen Liqian."

"In fact, Shen Liqian's performance is obviously at a professional level. Don't underestimate the actors in the entertainment industry. Many of them are truly talented, but they only become actors because acting makes more money. She definitely didn't waste her violin performance during the years she was filming. She just didn't participate in domestic competitions. It's just that old thief Su Yan's violin performance is indeed better than hers. I was stunned at the scene at the time. I really didn't expect that old thief Su Yan could be so amazing."

"Anyway, I left a picture of my internship certificate as an extra under the post. After all, seniors become extras just to get the internship stamp, but in the end, the old thief Su Yan gave us a great musical feast."

"Is this true? Is old thief Su Yan such a pervert?"

"Anyway, you'll understand when you watch the show. The music standard of this show is really high."

"Then did you see any interesting scenes as extras? Wasn't it a musical romance? Were there scenes like the old thief Su Yan and Shen Liqian?"

"No, not at all. I didn't even see them holding hands. It seems like it was pure love."

"Well, maybe there will be scenes later on. But don't even think about the first few episodes, I really don't see any hand-holding or kissing scenes."

"But the name of this drama is actually very interesting! What does the lie in Your Lie in April represent?"

For several days in a row, a group of passers-by and fans of Su Yan and Shen Liqian argued fiercely about the actual musical level of Su Yan, the screenwriter.

Shen Liqian, Su Yan, and Shinozaki Yumi who were filming in the crew inevitably learned the news.

Of course, for some people, the fact that this drama has not yet been aired in April and there is such controversy is also a disguised form of publicity.

Everyone is happy to see the results.

The news media is even more groundless and reports such things extensively.

He even dug deeper into the various abilities revealed by Su Yan.

The screenwriting ability is first-class in the industry.

His musical talent seems to be equally amazing in terms of composing music and performing skills. He is known to have mastered at least four musical instruments, and it is rumored that he can play them at a professional level.

His martial arts scenes are also first-rate, and he is recognized by the industry as a martial arts genius.

As for the acting, it also did not lag behind.

It's better not to think about it.
Did Yoshitoki Akasaka, the director of the production department of Sakura TV, get his head caught in the door?

Why would you suppress such a person and force him away?

The news surrounding Su Yan quickly turned into other topics.

Although April is only a B-level drama, its popularity before its launch was not much weaker than those four A-level dramas.

If April really achieves some good results in the summer season, then Yoshitoki Akasaka will probably become a laughing stock in the industry.

May ends and June begins.

At this time, major crews will begin to promote their dramas before they are broadcast.

First of all, the support of the TV station is definitely necessary.

Su Yan, Shen Liqian, Shinozaki Yumi, Gu Qingyuan, She Yuan, Chen Ji and other main and supporting actors in the drama April all appeared on a variety show specially organized by Qingkong TV to promote April.

This program is broadcast on Sunday night at 10 o'clock. It basically gives a brief introduction to the genre of April's drama and helps promote April.

Then the main actors will answer the market’s questions about the drama.

The host was not polite and asked on the spot whether the rumor circulating on the Internet that Su Yan was a high level violin and piano player was true or not.

And the person asking the question was not Su Yan, but Shen Liqian.

As for Shen Liqian's answer, it became a hot topic on the Internet that evening.

She clearly affirmed that Su Yan's playing level was not only very strong, better than hers, but also stronger than the rumors on the Internet.

Even famous quotes came out.

"His real talent is not in screenwriting or acting, but in music. He is a musical genius who was delayed by film and television dramas!"

This passage directly aroused the curiosity of many netizens.

Is it really that outrageous?
After more than a month of filming, Shen Liqian might not be convinced by Su Yan in other aspects, but she was really convinced in music.

This thing is really strong, and the higher her musical level is, the more she can feel this.

With that kind of abnormal musical sense, he can fully grasp the key points of playing a new piece of music after only playing it a few times. No wonder he was able to write the character of Arima Kousei.

The prototype of this character is obviously himself.

Su Yan is really too conservative. It is obvious that the Arima Kousei in the drama is a young musical genius who has not yet grown up, while the Su Yan in reality is the truly grown-up Arima Kousei.

This guy is only one year older than her, why? This kind of person should have participated in various music competitions since childhood, and he must be very famous in the piano and violin youth groups in Shanghai, or even in Xiaguo.

When she was learning the violin, she had never heard of Su Yan, and even asked Su Yan which industry teacher he learned violin and piano from.

Su Yan said something his parents taught him, which almost confused her.

A middle school teacher and a hospital nurse, both of whom died in a car accident a few years ago. How could they teach your son to have such musical ability? Who are you trying to fool?
Shen Liqian gained a lot from filming with Su Yan.

Because her level is indeed high enough and she is very talented, Su Yan also strives for authenticity, so during the filming process he gave comprehensive and merciless criticism and guidance on her violin playing.

While allowing her to experience the fear she felt when she was criticized by her strict teacher when she was learning the violin, her violin playing level also improved significantly.

After this variety show interview
The long-standing debate on the Internet came to an end. Su Yan's haters were somewhat at a loss.

Could it be that Su Yan is really a musical genius?
The appearance is high.

Genius screenwriter.

A talented martial arts star.

Are you still a talented composer and performer now?

Are you cheating?
Shen Liqian's fans were somewhat dissatisfied.

But after Shen Liqian said this, everyone just kept their dissatisfaction in their hearts. Anyway, whether it is true or not will be known when the show starts.

Su Yan's fans had a collective climax.

The more powerful Su Yan is, the more face they have.

As for Gu Qingyuan’s fans, they were very angry.

You two have filmed three dramas, and none of them had a happy ending as a couple. In the fourth drama, Gu Qingyuan even played a supporting role.

Su Yan, you are deliberately making things difficult for us fans, right?
Every month, there is always news about this drama in April.

Yoshitoki Akasaka of Sakura TV already felt that something was wrong.

It’s already June, why hasn’t April’s popularity been overshadowed by the several A-rated dramas that are about to be aired?

Without the traffic support from Sakura TV, shouldn't the attention to Su Yan's works drop sharply?
time flies.

Mid-June
A number of TV series during the spring season have come to an end.

The work with the highest ratings this quarter was the suspense drama "The Blind Heart", with a peak rating of 4.31% during its broadcast.

There are five dramas whose ratings exceeded 4% this season.

A slight improvement from last quarter.

But these dramas are difficult to watch in terms of ratings.

The highest-rated drama of the entire season only had a score of 9.0, which is a huge difference compared to the 9.6 of To the Moon last season.

After all, when the score reaches 9.0, every difference of 0.1 is extremely huge.

After these dramas ended, trailers and promotional videos for a number of TV dramas that will be aired in July were broadcast on TV stations one after another.

With the support of funds and TV station traffic, the four A-level dramas from the three major TV stations naturally became very popular.

Then, on June 19, the trailer for "Your Lie in April" was released on Blue Sky TV.
The cute and beautiful girl Kaori Miyazono appears as an energetic junior high school student.

In the concert hall, wearing a red dress, with a beautiful face and a serious expression, Jingchuan Emi, played by Gu Qingyuan
And at the end of the trailer, under the gaze of thousands of people, the male protagonist, Kousei Arima, stood in the center of the concert hall, staring at the piano in front of him and was hesitant to move.

The passionate and emotional piano music in the trailer makes all the viewers who see the trailer feel excited!
The power of music transcends language.

On that day, the discussion heat of April once again caught up with the four A-level dramas at an outrageous speed.

It even ranked third in the list of the most anticipated TV series in July voted by netizens on the Internet, directly pushing Sakura TV's "The Simplest Love" to fourth place on the list.

Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan's foundation group, which had been silent for three months, was completely revived.

Shen Liqian hasn't filmed a movie for more than a year, and her fans have been getting frustrated.

To be honest, the investment in this drama in April is a bit low, but the cast is not bad at all.

Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan are second-tier stars, while Shen Liqian is a first-tier star.

Maybe its production level cannot catch up with the four A-level dramas, but it is among the B-level dramas that were aired this quarter.

April is definitely number one in terms of cast and pre-airing awareness!

The last day of June.
In the afternoon, April crew finished their filming mission.

Everyone in the crew was feeling nervous and heavy at the moment.

Tomorrow is the first week of July.

What kind of launch results can be achieved in April?
Will it fail on Qingkong TV?
Will people not like musical romance dramas after they start airing, and the ratings will be lower than expected?

These are all unknowns.

And Su Yan, before all the main creative staff of the crew got off work, gathered everyone in the office, which was a speech for the main creative team before the show started in April.

"This drama will be aired in a few days in April. Here, I hope everyone will believe in me and believe in yourselves."

Su Yan looked at Gu Qingyuan, Shen Liqian, Xiao Qi Yumei, Shi Peihua, and She Yuan and Chen Ji, the two actors of Chun and Liang.
“I’m never going to go downhill.”

"To the Moon achieved the highest ratings of the quarter at its premiere. So Your Lie in April will definitely be better than To the Moon!"

"Our goal is to reach the summit. Even if it's broadcasted on Blue Sky TV in April, this goal will never change!"

To others, what Su Yan said was just empty talk.

But when this genius with many achievements said this, everyone's heart started pounding.

First!
That night, it was past midnight.

End of June.

In July, summer arrives.
