入目
It is a park in the rainy season.

A small park courtyard full of vegetation, green trees, light rain, and an artificial lake.

Holding an umbrella, the handsome and masculine boy walked towards the pavilion beside the artificial lake.

bgm suddenly sounded.

The classic theme song of the original The Garden of Words by Rain instantly put Su Yan's fans who were watching the trailer into the mood.

Su Yan's works, at least in terms of music, are unquestionable.

The screen flashed, and a woman dressed casually and drinking beer in a pavilion appeared.

When Gu Qingyuan showed up in this modern workplace style, Su Yan's fans were a little dazed again.

Beautiful people look beautiful no matter how they dress.

The first time the boy and the woman met, and the woman's meaningful smile and words before she left.

【Perhaps, we will meet again. 】

【Maybe on a rainy day. 】

The inexplicable words and the storyboards full of youthfulness, Su Yan’s fans have already felt that familiar taste.

That’s right, it’s the unique flavor of love in Su Yan’s works.

You can't learn this from the works of other screenwriters in Xiaguo.

【An encounter that only happens on rainy days. 】

Text appears on the screen, revealing some information about the work.

The boy uses a template and a hammer to make handmade shoes.

The repeated encounters between the woman and the boy.

A boy makes shoes for women
The screen kept flickering.

Conflicts, quarrels, fights, and ridicule.

The audience was confused, but in the end, the picture froze on an old high-rise building.

The stairs going down were like a spiral corridor going straight up to the sky. The boy standing at the bottom of the first floor shouted at the woman with all his might.

[You've always been like that, never saying a word about important things. Always alone.]

【Spend your life! 】

The camera rotates and the woman looks like she is about to cry.

Then the picture freezes on a bird flying over the building.

When the climax of the song "Rain" sounded, the audience suddenly felt a tingling sensation on their scalps.

In the trailer, an atmosphere of impending storm invades the audience's hearts.

Also, the combination of this song and this picture is so consistent with the emotions that the movie wants to express.

After the one-minute trailer ended, many Su Yan fans breathed a sigh of relief.

This trailer is so artistic!
"Teacher Su Yan, is this an artistic love movie?"

“I don’t know, but the song is so nice!”

"A woman I met in the rain. How interesting."

"It doesn't seem to have an outrageous development like in April. It's just a story about a workplace woman and a high school boy meeting?"

"It's quite interesting. The youthful vibe of Su Yan, the old thief, dressed up as a high school boy is very strong. Gu Qingyuan's makeup as a working woman is also amazing. Is this a story about a sister-brother relationship?"

"It feels a bit weird! The old thief Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan are about the same age, so this sister-brother relationship doesn't look like anything at all!"

"Don't be so mean, Su Yan is one year younger than Gu Qingyuan. After all, Gu Qingyuan graduated from the Academy of Performing Arts. Su Yan started working at the age of 18 and went to Sakura TV for an internship."

"As long as the makeup artist is competent, none of this matters. Don't watch this movie through the filter of the two people's real life. The heroine in the trailer is indeed an intellectual queen, and the hero played by Su Yan is indeed a high school boy."

"I definitely want to. How can I not support a love movie starring Gu Qingyuan and Su Yan?"

"Why do I always have tears in my eyes? I have finally waited for this day. Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan can finally have a happy ending. From Jian Xin to Gu Xiang Si Qu to Edge Walker, the couples played by these two all ended with separation! I must see them have a happy and perfect ending in the cinema this time."

"Is it necessary? It doesn't matter whether it has a happy ending or not! Anyway, I was quite moved when watching Edgewalker, and I thought the ending was pretty amazing!"

"That proves that you are not a normal person. Any normal person who has watched the drama Kenshin will definitely feel bad for this actor couple."

"A relationship between an older woman and a younger man is a relationship between an older woman and a younger man. It's impossible for a modern urban drama to be more tragic than The Edge of Destiny! As long as no one dies, it's fine."

"Run it for me!"

“I must go to the cinema to support you on July 31st.”

"This trailer is very much to my taste, I will definitely support it when the time comes."

"Su Yan's first film work must be supported!"

"Anyway, I really like the art style in the trailer." "Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan's sister-brother relationship! Come to think of it, Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe are also a sister-brother relationship! I guess I'll have a strong sense of déjà vu of Rurouni Kenshin when watching this movie!"

"I may criticize him on weekdays, but I still recognize Su Yan's creative ability. I will take my girlfriend to watch it on July 31st."

"Bring your girlfriend? Aren't you afraid that this is a love movie with a tragic ending?"

A large number of Su Yan fans expressed their support for the movie after watching the trailer.

At the same time, many film industry media also began to report on the work The Garden of Words.

After all, it was Su Yan’s first work in the film industry, which had just set a record for ratings.

Regardless of its box office performance, this work has attracted a lot of attention.

During the same period, Su Yan and the distributor Tianxing Film and Television Company also began to promote The Garden of Words in an all-round way.

In the cinemas in the first- and second-tier cities of Xiaguo, money was invested to start putting up promotional trailers in the theaters.

Many cinemas have also quietly put up large posters of The Garden of Words.

He also bribed a number of film critics to help promote The Garden of Words during this period.

But after all, 20 million yuan of publicity funds are not too high, so the publicity effect is not as good as the action film "Gun Grave", fantasy film "Firefly", and comedy film "High Energy Girlfriend" released in July.

After all, the investment in shooting these three films amounted to hundreds of millions, and a considerable amount of money was also spent on publicity and promotion.

The most important focus of the media is definitely not on The Garden of Words.

There are still more than twenty days until the movie is released.

However, practitioners in the Xia country's film industry generally believe that the total box office of Su Yan's film will most likely not exceed 100 million, and many organizations even predict that the total box office of The Garden of Words will be less than 70 million.

With this box office, plus the sale of online broadcasting rights and overseas rights, Su Yan won't make much money, but at least he won't lose money.

"100 million at the box office?"

Su Yan put down the newspaper in his hand and said softly.

"Don't believe what these forecasting agencies say. If they can make accurate predictions, why are there so many box office failures and dark horse movies in Xia Country?" Today, Shinozaki Ikumi was also paying close attention to the online reviews of The Garden of Words after the release of the trailer.

"Of course I won't be misled by these remarks!" Su Yan said with a smile.

"But seriously, what do you expect The Garden of Words to perform at the box office?" Shinozaki Ikumi also became interested at this time.

"I haven't thought about this question." Su Yan said after pondering for a moment.

"But no matter what, these media outlets look down on us and think that The Garden of Words won't make over 100 million! Well, we're going to slap them in the face. The lowest expected bottom line for The Garden of Words box office is to double it, to 200 million!"

Su Yan also speaks conservatively.

The same work will indeed have different fates in different environments.

In Su Yan's previous life, The Garden of Words was a highly rated work but one with low commercial value, because in the early days Makoto Shinkai was just an unknown animation director.

But Su Yan of Xia Country is now considered a big celebrity, and the money he has invested in the Garden of Words is far more than in his previous life.

Su Yan really did not have the data from his previous life to estimate what kind of results it would achieve.

"Two hundred million." Shinozaki Ikumi thought for a moment and then smiled.

"I thought you wanted to take first place again this time and that you would propose the goal of winning the summer box office championship."

"I am just confident in The Garden of Words, but I am not blind. Our financial support for The Garden of Words is indeed not as good as others. In terms of marketing, the gap between us and others is so big. It would be stupid if we still ignore other people's movies." Su Yan said.

"However, we cannot rule out the possibility that The Garden of Words will rebound with word of mouth and see a huge increase in box office sales after its release."

Shinozaki Ikumi is actually unsure of herself right now.

She had no idea how many of Su Yan's fans in the TV drama circle were willing to go to the cinema to watch his drama.

Everything can only be left to the market.

The two of them ended their discussion about the box office in tacit understanding.

"By the way, the auditions for Magical Girl School and Tokyo Love Story will be scheduled in the next few days. Once the main actors are selected, we will set off for Tokyo!" Shinozaki Ikumi said at this time.

"clear."

In fact, Su Yan and Shinozaki Ikumi both have a good understanding when it comes to the selection of casts for the two dramas.

In the TV drama industry in Xia Country, Su Yan is now deeply tied to Gu Qingyuan and Shen Liqian in the eyes of fans.

When these three of them film a drama together, the topic will be very interesting, and the effect of one plus one plus one being greater than three will be achieved.

Since Su Yan's fans like to watch the dramas they acted in together, neither Su Yan nor Shinozaki Ikumi will certainly go against the market.

Among the four main characters in Tokyo Love Story, Su Yan is actually the most suitable to play the second male role, Kenichi Mikami.

Tall, handsome and passionate, Su Yan's image is quite suitable.

But if Su Yan played this role, it wouldn't be a big topic.

After all, fans would definitely like to watch the love story between Su Yan, Shen Liqian and Gu Qingyuan.

Mikami's words are a bit too marginal.

　Thanks to the cigar in the pipe and the reward from Super Electromagnetic and Fireworks Light Sound. Thank you big brother!
