Depressive screenwriter.

Chapter 36 Public Opinion and Filming

When Su Yan said this, his eyes were more serious than ever.

Shinozaki Ikumi knew at a glance that allowing him to complete the script independently was a condition that Su Yan would never give up.

Although I am worried, what can I do?
I can only trust Su Yan.

Moreover, Su Yan also told her that he would give her a few music scores in a while and asked her to find someone to arrange the music and use it as an important interlude and theme song in the Ancient Love Song.

Shinozaki Yumi hesitates to speak
But the highly acclaimed episode of Rurouni Kenshin was found by Su Yan from somewhere. She just hoped that Su Yan would not waste too much energy on this kind of non-screenwriting work.

Polishing the script is the most important thing!

During the process of forming the crew of "Ancient Love Song".

The drama Qing Feng also successfully completed the online broadcast of its last episode.

As expected, the rating dropped to a new high of 4.9, because the plot of the last episode of Qing Feng was too bad, the heroine died of an inexplicable disease, the hero's father died, the family went bankrupt, and the second female lead took over in the end
Under the direction of Kiyota Sanji, Qingfeng is indeed bad to a new level. What can be done if a romantic comedy is forced to be turned into a depressing tragedy in just two episodes?

Just like when Su Yan read the Japanese love comic Feng Xia in his previous life, it was a love comedy comic. When it was at its most exciting, he inexplicably saw the comic page where the heroine was hit and killed by a truck.

His mood at that time was just like that of Xia Guoqingfeng's fans at this moment.

This kind of plot, which eighty out of a hundred viewers would find offensive, is a stroke of genius in the eyes of the creators who are obsessed with it. It is the script with a refreshing ending that Seida Sanji felt was self-indulgent at the time.

Many drama fans couldn't help but burst into angry laughter after watching the ending of Qing Feng.

This is not sad at all, it's even a little funny.

Oh, meaningless tragedy, whining without reason
The paid views of the twelfth episode of Qing Feng naturally plummeted.

Last week, the average paid views per episode dropped from 320 million to just 301 million.

The whole network was filled with curses.

Although the official media of the Qingfeng crew said that the scripts for the last two episodes were independently written by another co-chief screenwriter, Kanzaki Yusuke, and had nothing to do with Qingtian Sanji.

But the angry fans don’t care about so much.

You were the ones who said that these two people were co-writers of the Qing Feng script, and now that the show's reputation has exploded, the other one wants to distance himself from it?

Oh, do you really think we, the audience, are fools?

The team came last in the relay race, who is not guilty?
Don't say this is impossible. Even if it happens, you give me my money back, but the memory of eating shit won't fade away. Both screenwriters have no mothers, so no one can escape.

Especially since a lot of people knew that one of the two screenwriters, Kiyota Sanji, would broadcast his new drama "Night Sakura" on Sakura TV next season, they were even more resentful.

Are you worthy?
What level of screenwriter are you? How dare you release a new work so soon to disgust people?
At the same time, the official website of Sakura TV also released the project information of "Ancient Love Song", a new work by Rurouni Kenshin screenwriter Su Yan, for the next quarter.

Now, Qingfeng's fans directly rebelled and joined forces with Rurouni Kenshin fans to flood into the comment section of Sakura TV's official website to start making trouble.

"What is Qingtian Shanzhi? Are you worthy of following Teacher Su Yan's example of depression? Look at your Qingfeng, I have never seen a screenwriter who can pull such a big one."

"The depressing feeling of Rurouni Kenshin is that although I feel uncomfortable while watching it, I will sincerely feel that it is a depressing masterpiece after watching it. It is indeed a tragedy, but in the process, I was moved by the love of this couple in troubled times and their yearning for a peaceful world. What is Qingfeng? Its tragedy is like when I was eating hot pot at home and suddenly a dump truck hit my house. There is no logic, no inspiration, and it is pure disgusting. Even so, Qingfeng screenwriter Seida Sanji can have a new work broadcast on TV. Is the director of the TV station his father?"

"What a crap Night Sakura. Just go and fool other passers-by. I will definitely not go to see Night Sakura next season."

"Fuck, Rurouni Kenshin's screenwriter is actually writing so fast, and there's a new work to be filmed in the fall?"

"'Ancient Love Song'? Scheduled to be broadcast at midnight on Sunday? What the hell? Rurouni Kenshin is such a good work, and the screenwriter arranged for the new drama to be broadcast at this time. Qingfeng is such a bad drama, and the screenwriter's sequel is scheduled to be broadcast at 10 pm on Saturday? There must be something fishy going on here."

"So what if it's Sunday midnight? As long as Mr. Su Yan's new work is as good as Rurouni Kenshin, I will get up from bed and watch it even if it starts at three in the morning."

"that is."

"Hey, what a coincidence! I'm a night security guard, and this broadcast time is just right."

"Everyone, please promote Teacher Su Yan's new play. Such a capable screenwriter should not be buried."

"It's just staying up until midnight on Sunday night. It's no big deal. Who hasn't stayed up all night? It just depends on whether you want to."

"Ancient Love Song! The name sounds quite poetic. I wonder what kind of TV series it is?"

"I just hope that the actress Gu Qingyuan who plays Tomoe Yukishiro and the actor Su Yan who plays Kenshin in this drama can continue to have scenes. Even if it's just a supporting role, please. I've been obsessed after watching Rurouni Kenshin and haven't gotten over it for a month. I really want to see them work together on a new drama, with them being a couple and a happy ending!"

"Wow, me too. Please, Teacher Su Yan, please ask Gu Qingyuan to act in the new drama, and you can also participate. You two can play a supporting couple with a happy ending. Make Kenshin and Yukishiro Tomoe's dream come true."

Fans of TV series rarely go to the TV station’s official website to cause trouble, but fans of online series often come to the TV station’s official website to express their opinions.

The huge difference in reputation between Kiyota Sanji and Su Yan has been noticed by both the scriptwriting department and the production department.

Although no one has mentioned any competition between the two shows, in fact
All the relevant department staff of the entire TV station felt the invisible atmosphere of competition between Su Yan and Kiyota Sanji.

September 12th.

Due to time constraints, the selection of the production crew of "Ancient Love Song" and the casting of actors were carried out at the same time.

Of course, the production team of "Ancient Love Song" has been comprehensively strengthened compared to "Rurouni Kenshin".

In addition to Shi Peihua, whose abilities were unanimously recognized by Su Yan and Shinozaki Ikumi, who continued to serve as director.

For other things like makeup, lighting, art, photography, editing and character costume design, more famous teams in Shanghai were hired again, and the quality of the filming is definitely much better than that of Rurouni Kenshin.

Su Yan’s idea for this drama is very simple.

An investment of 15 million is not a small amount, but if you really calculate it carefully in a film or TV series, it is not sufficient.

First of all, we can't afford first- and second-tier stars, but there is no point in inviting third-tier actors to participate. Third-tier actors have no appeal in the Sunday midnight time slot, and the money spent will most likely be wasted.

If "Gu Xiang Si Qu" wants to stand out, it can only rely on the plot and spend money on production quality. If the audience has a good reputation, there will be a hit drama even in the worst schedule.

Shinozaki Yumi's thoughts coincided with Su Yan's.

The lovers Kenshin Yukishiro Tomoe, played by Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan, still have a huge influence in the hearts of fans.

Asking some third-tier actors to play the male lead Shen Buyan and the female lead Lu Yuan is unlikely to produce as good an effect as if Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan continue to play the male and female leads.

Besides, the comments of a bunch of Rurouni Kenshin fans on the official website of Sakura TV have already made the problem clear.

Jianxin fans just hope to see another drama starring Su Yan and Gu Qingyuan.

"So, you will continue to play the male lead Shen Buyan, and the female lead will be Lu Yuan." Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan.

"Let Gu Qingyuan play the role. I've asked Gu Qingyuan about it, and she agreed without even asking about the pay. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course. When we were filming Rurouni Kenshin, I promised her that if there was a new script and a suitable role in the future, she would be the first one to be considered for the role. Besides, millions of Rurouni Kenshin fans on the Internet are also looking forward to it.

If Gu Xiang Si Qu wants to achieve good results in the Sunday midnight slot, these accumulated Jian Xin fans must not be ignored, and they must be used as tap water to promote Gu Xiang Si Qu after the show starts. "Su Yan paused and said.

"However, the heroine Lu Yuan in Ancient Love Song has some fighting scenes, and her fighting ability is quite strong. I will play the role of a weak scholar in the play and be saved by her several times. If she wants to play Lu Yuan, I guess she will have to practice fighting scenes."

"That's not a problem. How do you fight to be an expert? I have discussed these details with her, and she said she is willing to accept training in martial arts scenes." Shinozaki Ikumi looked at Su Yan with trust.

After all, she participated in the entire filming of Rurouni Kenshin and didn't even bother to hire a martial arts instructor.

Those martial arts instructors at the Shanghai Film and Television Base came to Su Yan, isn't that just showing off their skills in front of an expert?

It is not certain who will guide whom.

"There are also four other important supporting characters in this drama: Prime Minister Li Yong, Lu Yuan's brother Lu Shi, Lu Yuan's maid Yi Huahua, and Emperor Yuan Qi. Basically, these people have the most important supporting roles in this drama, and their auditions will be..." Su Yan reminded again.

"The auditions will start in the afternoon and will last until the evening. Today, hundreds of actors will come to participate in the auditions for these four people. This is one of the reasons why I came to you now, so Su Yan, come with me to the audition venue later." Shinozaki Ikumi said.

"So fast?" Su Yan was surprised.

It’s only been a few days since the station approved the project of Ancient Love Song?
Why does it feel like Ancient Love Song will start filming in a few days?

"What do you think?" Shinozaki Ikumi said softly.

"The broadcast time of Ancient Love Song has been set. It will be at 00:01 a.m. on Monday, October st."

"We only have more than half a month to shoot. It is basically certain that the footage we shoot every day will be sent to the post-production team for dubbing, editing and image synthesis the next day. But you don't have to worry. Ancient Love Song does not involve any supernatural light pollution, qigong and other special effects. It is not difficult to shoot and produce a simple costume drama. As long as the money and the script are in place, the short shooting cycle will not affect the quality of the finished product."

"So Su Yan, you must, must, must write the script on time. I suggested finding an assistant for you. You don't want to be the episode writer, and I respect your opinion. But after the filming really starts, no matter how tired you are during the day, you have to make sure the script keeps up with the creative progress." Shinozaki Ikumi took a deep breath.

"I can solve all the difficulties in filming and personnel organization. Even if I work overtime without sleep, I can solve them all. But I can't solve the script problem. Only if you hand in the script on time can my filming schedule go on smoothly without any problems."

"Don't worry." Su Yan looked at Shinozaki Ikumi.

"I will never let you down."

In the afternoon, Su Yan participated in the audition for the supporting role in Ancient Love Song.

Each of these four supporting roles has excellent acting skills.

Actor Li Yong had to portray the image of an upright official in his early life, but also had to play the image of a powerful official who was corrupted by power during his time as prime minister.

Yihua has to act out a lively and lovely character in the early stage of her life, who is not afraid of power, but in the later stage of her life, she becomes cold and quiet because of the loss of her beloved.

There is no need to talk about my younger brother Lu Shi.

In the script of the ancient love song in his previous life, the plot template looked like Huo Qubing.
He must have superb martial arts, good looks, and strong acting skills.

Every role has its performance challenges.

But the fact is that money makes the world go round.

The crew has money and can find all types of actors.

As for other supporting roles that occupy a small proportion of the plot, it will be left to Shinozaki Ikumi's assistant to find them.

For example, the old lady who appeared at the beginning of the play and sold the broken jade to the male protagonist Shen Buyan, made director Shi Peihua so eager that she prepared to perform it herself.

In the film and television shooting base on the outskirts of Shanghai, a bunch of crews are mobilizing at this moment, not only the crew of Ancient Love Song, but also the crew of Night Cherry Blossom, the crews of the A-level dramas in the autumn season of the three major TV stations, more than ten crews of B-level dramas, and many crews of C-level dramas and web dramas.
In this case, neither Su Yan nor Kiyota Sanji is anything special.

And such a large group of people are all eyeing the autumn season in October.

Everyone wants to soar to fame in the fall season, exceed ratings expectations, and become famous.
The time came to September 14th.

"Ancient Love Song", which has been in preparation for many days, has officially started filming.
