Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 177 Ending
For the next few days, news about Dong Ai was everywhere in Xia Country.

There are many people in Xiaguo who cannot watch TV series because of work or studies.

Or some people simply don't like to follow the updates.

Now that East Love has ended, although there is still an episode of the if line that will be aired on Sunday, a large number of people have already started to catch up on the drama on Xingxia.com.

The number of paid views of Dong Ai on Xingxia Online has been increasing rapidly.

At the same time, the companies in Xia State that wanted to find Shen Liqian to sign an endorsement contract almost broke down the door of Su Yan’s office in Tokyo.

Shen Liqian, Su Yan, Gu Qingyuan and the actor who played Aili Mikami, Shunsuke Satake, instantly became top stars in the Xia country's TV drama industry.

Su Yan also began pre-promotion for Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which will be aired next April.

All major websites have invested in publicity funds, taking advantage of the current popularity of East Love to bundle and hype it up.

Information about Puella Magi Madoka Magica has been released one after another on the official website of Dimension Films.

There were no magical girl-themed works in Xia Country, so Su Yan directly wrote a large number of setting collections and posted the articles on the Internet to educate his fans about what a magical girl is.

But this kind of thing is also easy to understand.

The magical girl fighting the witch is just like Ultraman fighting the little monsters, and the blue star people fighting the alien monsters, they are all the same thing.

Although there are no magical girls in Xiaguo, there are many works on the theme of the battle between justice and evil, which are not difficult for fans to understand.

Besides, who doesn’t like to watch a story about a righteous beautiful girl defeating an evil witch?

The magical girl makeup in the TV series is not as childish as in the anime. Instead, it is full of youthfulness, and a lot of money has been spent on special effects.

Although there were many doubters, Puella Magi Madoka Magica still easily topped the list of unaired TV dramas.

“It seems interesting!”

“But is a drama without a romance element really good?”

"I'm not sure. I saw some witches and magical girls in the setting book, and I feel like this show is a bit like something for kids."

"Is Su Yan really planning to switch to the children's market? I've noticed if it's Dong Ai, many of my family's elders love to watch this work. After all, the timeline is 20 or 30 years ago, and the protagonists are people of their generation. Now he's working on this kind of magical girl work. What new approach is he trying?"

"If you really want to target the children's market, you wouldn't choose an adult as the protagonist. I don't think it's that simple."

"Well, I've never seen a drama of this theme, but judging from the makeup photos that have been released, I will definitely follow this drama."

"Indeed, even if the plot is not to my taste, the looks of this drama are definitely to my taste! I will definitely follow it."

"You need to clear your mind first. The aftereffects of Dong Ai are too strong. When I see Gu Qingyuan now, I feel a bit like Satomi, a green tea girl. I hope her performance in Madoka Magica can break this impression."

"But why are most of Su Yan's dramas set in the Sakurajima area? Forget about Touai and Madoka Magica."

"Need I say more? Most of Su Yan's dramas are about middle school and high school students falling in love. In mainland China, that's considered puppy love, and they'll be complained about if they're filmed. But in Sakurajima, this kind of thing is common, so it's easy for the script to pass review!"

"? Is there such a thing?"

"Of course! In Xiaguo's TV series, any drama involving middle and high school students falling in love is set in the Sakurajima area. Otherwise, parents from the mainland will complain. This is already a tacit understanding in the Xiaguo TV series industry."

"In fact, the same is true for Eastern Love. As for Rika's character, it is easier for people to accept her only as a heroine in the Sakurajima region. If it was set in the mainland, it would probably have been complained about long ago."

"It's not easy for screenwriters like Su Yan, the old thief!"

"Alas, it's already mid-December. After the Tokyo Love if line ends this Sunday, it will be the winter season. I feel sad when I think about not having Su Yan's works to read next season."

"Come on. Don't ask for too much. Su Yan's output is already incredible. He has produced more works in the three years since his debut than many screenwriters have produced in their entire lives!"

"Although the output of Lao Zei's works is high, his achievements are also better! The achievements of any of his plays are something that 99% of Xiaguo's screenwriters can't achieve in their entire lives!"

Tokyo
Because Su Yan did not participate too much in the filming of the two movies, after the filming of East Love was completed, Su Yan's workload on the set was reduced a lot.

But at the same time, the company's operating work is inevitably shared by Su Yan.

In the past, Shinozaki Ikumi helped him check these jobs, but now he makes the decisions on his own.

Of course, Su Yan would still go to the shooting site regularly to supervise every day.

In order to ensure the popularity of his work, Su Yan would take time out every one or two weeks to meet with reporters and the media.

Each prefecture in the Tokyo area will also hold offline fan meetings.

Of course, Su Yan’s fans were very popular in the past, but because he played the role of Nagao this season, there were also black fans causing trouble at the fan meeting.

Also, although Su Yan is the boss of the company, he is also a very famous contracted artist of the company.

If the company has any brand image activities, such as some advertising placement companies that pay a lot of money, he has to attend for the sake of money.

And in this state, the weekend soon arrived.
The day when the Tokyo Love Story if line starts airing.

Starting from the afternoon, Su Yan's fans across the country began to become active.

The ratings of Zhongxia TV have been rising since 7 o'clock. The momentum is more terrifying than any other week.

The TV stations also routinely organized variety shows to promote the launch of the if line. They were even more anxious than Su Yan. Although Su Yan was eager for the 6% ratings record, he was not too eager. He had a system, so what was he afraid of? If this work didn't achieve success, the next work would.

But the people in Zhongxia TV are different. The future is unpredictable. Who knows if Su Yan will run out of ideas and fail? Even if he can reach the peak again, who knows who will get the credit for Su Yan's dramas by then?

In the workplace, personnel transfers have become very frequent.

So not only did the TV stations mobilize a lot of resources to help promote East Love, they also spent their own money to help East Love's if line advertise on the Internet.

As long as the ratings for tonight's episode of East Love exceed 6%, the share price of Zhongxia TV will definitely soar, and everyone in the TV station will have a good year.

Eight o'clock in the evening came.

if line drama, started airing.

As for the plot setting of the if line, it is actually not that different from the original main plot.

Su Yan is very clear about his abilities and is not so crazy as to think that he can perform recklessly.

There are a lot of precedents in the past, such as Naruto. No matter how much the original work is criticized, the standard is still there, but the sequel, Boruto, is just a joke.

Even if Su Yan creates an if line, he will definitely follow the character settings of the original work.

There won't be any weird things added to the if line. And the if line that starts tonight.

The early plot is exactly the same as the eleventh episode of the original work.

It was Nagao who went to Ehime, found Rika, and then talked with Rika on the beach.

But the only difference is that the two people in this episode are wearing different clothes than in the eleventh episode.

The two people in episode 11 are wearing white clothes.

In the if line, the two of them are wearing black clothes.

Then, the same farewell at the seaside, the same choice that Rika gave Nagao.

The train is at 4:48 pm.

Here is the turning point
So, if Nagao really wants to keep Rika, does he need to think about it for two hours?

The appointment is at 4:48. Do I need to arrive on time?

Did he never think about the situation where he didn't have time? The word "if" in the if line means the turning point is only here and can only be here.

If Rika really waited for Nagao until 4:48, her character's charm would be reduced.

Her behavior in the if-plot is not much different from the original ending.

The one who has changed is the male protagonist Nagao.

He arrived at the train station ahead of time.

In fact, if a work is originally set to be depressing and a happy ending is added, the plot will lack conflict and fun when watched.

Although the audience are all saying that there should not be a depressing ending.

But if things go smoothly, anyone would get bored.

However, if the audience watched the original ending first and then the if-line ending, the situation would be different.

Just like Su Yan's previous life work Clannad, if the original work did not have the death of Nagisa Furukawa in the ending, and directly chose Nagisa Furukawa to give birth to a daughter smoothly and live happily with the male protagonist as the ending, then could Clannad still move so many people?
It is precisely because the plot setting is that the male protagonist loses his life first, and then the deus ex machina brings Nagisa Furukawa back to life, that the audience is moved, and they don’t even want to complain about the deus ex machina.

The same goes for those who watched the ending of the East Love if line.

Because of the foreshadowing of the ending of last week,
In the plot, Nagao was touched by Rika's words, and his expression changed before the time point of 4:48.

He finally remembered.

The TV drama screen flashed madly with scenes of him going on dates with Rika again and again, but he kept breaking the appointments, being late, and standing Rika up.

And every time, Lixiang would wait for him for a long, long time.
He had never been on time for his date with Rika.

He never cherished Rimi as much as he did, and always waited for Rimi to arrive fifteen minutes in advance.

When Nagao looked at his watch, it was not yet four o'clock.

Suddenly, he ran to the train station like crazy.
The music is ringing.

This simple plot is even what most of the fans of East Love have guessed.

But it still made a large number of audiences cry.

You old thief Su Yan, you finally got it.

The if line doesn't need to be fancy, as long as Nagao figures out who is more important to him, Satomi or Rika.

Is it the childhood sweetheart’s white moonlight?
still is
Rika has been with him since he came to Tokyo.

Since the title of the play is Tokyo Love Story, at least Nagao should have love for Rika.
At the station, Rika tied a silk scarf around the railing and was about to write on it with lipstick before leaving when Nagao arrived.

【Rika.】

The two looked at each other
Needless to say, at this moment, Nagao's arrival here ahead of time already explains everything.

As the train slowly started, Rika threw herself into Nagao's arms on the platform
At this moment, a large number of Dongai fans in Xia Country felt the touch of love.

Feeling an emotion called healing.

This drama is perfect.

As for the later part, Nagao returns to Tokyo and confronts Satomi, stating that he will choose Rika.
Of course, Satomi would cry and complain, but this time, Nagao made up his mind.

He would have sympathy for Rimi, but he would never waver in his determination. He would never do anything even remotely wrong in light of Rimi's weakness and helplessness.

The audience was delighted to see it.
I call you green tea and I call you a bitch.

It's okay now.

In the end, green tea has nothing.

In the end, there is no true love!

As for the subsequent plot, it is similar to the original version.

Mikami and Nagaki Naoko get married.
But this time, Rika attended the wedding with Nagao, Satomi and her new boyfriend.

A love pentagon is destined to be chaotic.

The biggest problem with this show is that there are three female characters and only two male characters.

Since it's an if-ending, the plot will definitely not be as eventful as the original one.

But enough is enough.
The ending scene shows Rika, wearing a wedding dress, stretching out her hand, and Nagao personally putting the ring on her finger.

At this moment, Xia Guo’s Dong Ai fans, with a large amount of emotional values, flew towards Su Yan.

Although the ending of the if line was a bit bland, the audience was very satisfied with it.

In the ending of the main story last week, all the characters got married except Rika who was still single.

In this if line, we finally saw Rika’s wedding photos!
That’s enough, it’s over!
