Chapter 110: When the premiere is in progress (middle) Second update
MBC said in the previous promotion that "My Name is Kim Sanshun" is the TV station's big work this year, and now watching such a press conference, most of them have nothing to look forward to.
In the boring introduction of the producer on stage, some reporters in the audience secretly shook their heads, if it weren't for the face of the TV station's invitation, I am afraid that someone would get up and leave on the spot. The reason why "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" can attract people's attention is mainly because it is adapted from a best-selling novel, in addition, it is also because of several main creators, such as Kim Xuan'er, who is said to have abandoned the sexy route and gained weight and transformed, such as Ahn Jun-hyuk, who dominated the topic for several months at the beginning of the year.
Lose them, this conference has no highlights at all, as for the TV series itself?
Who cares about it!
In the previous publicity, MBC had a lot of appetite, the promotional video was constantly broadcast on several channels, and even put advertisements on SBS, which seemed to want to repeat the glory of "Dae Jang Geum", but throughout the history of Korean dramas, how many Dae Jang Geum? Not to mention, the TV series has not yet been broadcast, and the producer and crew have contradictions.
Most people don't agree with MBC's whimsical optimism, and for "My Name is Kim Sam-soon", their highest estimate is probably the grade of "Fashion 70s" and "The Queen's Condition", or even ...... may not be able to rush to that level, after all, "Vogue" and "Queen" were broadcast nearly a month in advance, and the strangulation situation has already formed, and it is difficult to break through their resistance!
In contrast, "Resurrection" has a higher selling point because it has found a very topical male protagonist.
Imagining the KBS Main Building, which is also in Yeouido, Yan Jung-hwa attending the press conference. Compared with the desertion here, the overall atmosphere in the studio hall suddenly dropped a little.
Backstage on the stage in the hall, through the curtain to see the low atmosphere of the press conference, Yoo Jae-seok looked at Kim Tae-ho beside him: "What's going on with your TV station? The TV series hasn't been broadcast yet, so it's so stiff with the crew?"
Yoo Jae-seok came over today to discuss a show with Kim Tae-ho, stimulated by the great success of SBS's "X-MAN" and "Love Letter" in the past two years, KBS and MBC are interested in developing their own game shows, KBS's actions are not clear for the time being, but MBC produced a new program two months ago and put it on the market.
But it's probably an inexperienced relationship. The response to the show's launch was far from what I expected. Not only did it not become as popular as the high-level of the Art Bureau expected, but it even started broadcasting for more than two months, and even failed to break through 10% of the ratings.
Although the development of variety shows is a long-term process, such a start still makes the Arts Bureau quite discouraged. But the show has already started. Investments have been spilled. I can't get it back for the time being, but now, the game show called "The Great Challenge". It has become a litmus test - the top management of the art bureau has given up their expectations of it, and now they only hope that it can be recycled, so that they can gain more production experience and test the audience's preferences and tastes.
Of course, not everyone gave up, but Kim Tae-ho had some ideas about the show and wanted to take over, and it just so happened that he was familiar with Yoo Jae-seok, who had risen through "X-MAN" in recent years, and had been inviting each other over recently, asking about things like revision suggestions.
It was the same today, but Yoo Jae-seok heard that "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" starring Ahn Jun-hyuk premiered today, so he came to watch the press conference and wanted to know in advance what the reaction was, but the situation at the scene was really disappointing to him.
Hearing this, Kim Tae-ho shrugged with a wry smile: "What else can I do, the station has suppressed the salaries of the main creative staff and has not paid them, so there is an awkward disturbance over there." ”
Liu Zaishi was stunned for a moment, "Uh...... Why don't you pay your salary?"
In his opinion, MBC is such a big TV station, and a lot of money is spilled for production and publicity, so there is no reason to be stingy with a little salary.
"I'm afraid it's too risky!" Kim Tae-ho said, "What achievements can be achieved by "My name is Kim Sam-soon", no one knows what to achieve, since the end of "Da Jang Jin" last year, most of the dramas invested and produced by Taili have lost money, in order to reduce the risk, Taili can only use this way to force the crew to compromise, if the results are good, it doesn't matter what the salary is, if the results are not ......good, "He smiled helplessly," The TV station can also be cut in half at any time to avoid more losses, and the salary is pinched by the TV station, and the crew has no second choice except for being obedient. ”
Liu Zaishi was dumbfounded, he is not a person in the film and television industry, he has not been exposed to these twists and turns, and he also does not know what to do, Kim Tae-ho also picked up and said lightly, the TV station's means of avoiding risks are not only in this aspect.
After a while, he muttered and asked, "So, what about Junhyuk and them?"
"It's not our business. Kim Tae-ho glanced at the gap in the curtain again, the deserted press conference scene, grabbed Yoo Jae-seok's shoulder with one hand, and took him away, "Look at the results!"
……
……
"Let's look at the results!"
The sky in Seoul is clear and clear after the rain, while on Jeju Island, the clouds are still dense, and the mountain wind sweeps the rain curtain on the top of the towering Halla Mountain, and the rain curtain hits like water splashing on the face, Ahn Jun-hyuk and Kim Sun-a, who have just finished filming, hide in a tent, looking at the staff who are busy packing up equipment outside, and are also talking about the press conference and salary.
Jin Xuan'er said that she had been eating for more than half a year, and if she lived like this for another month, her economy would have to go bankrupt.
MBC wants to pressure her salary, she has been in the film and television industry for many years, and she knows it very well, but she has only heard of anyone who has encountered such a thing before, and she never thought that she herself would be so unlucky, just in time for the TV station to avoid risks.
Let's look at the results!
In the face of her complaints, Ahn Junhyuk said with a smile, "If you have good grades, you are guaranteed to earn a lot of money and eat and drink!"
"Ah, are you really Kim Sam-soon?" pretended to be angry and slapped An Jun-hyuk, Kim Xuan'er wrinkled her nose, and after being disgusted, she immediately became worried again: "Jun-hyuk, what do you say will be the ratings of our premiere?"
"I'm not a prophet, I know where I am. ”
"Just say a number and comfort me, can't you?" Kim Xuan'er raised her fat palm and patted Ahn Junhyuk on the back again, "Why are you so wooden, you don't have any sense of humor." ”
"Hey, I'm very tired now, big sister!" An Junhyuk rubbed his back with his backhand and smiled bitterly: "You also said that you are not Jin Sanshun, you have learned all her bad habits." ”
"I'll let you say it again!"
A moment later, Ahn Junhyuk's helpless words came from the tent, "Okay, okay, the first broadcast is 20%, and from now on we will be all over the sky, okay?"
Hearing the number he predicted, Jin Xuan'er felt a little weak: "20%......? Too high, right?"
Ahn Junhyuk rolled his eyes, "You said that I should comfort you, and I comforted you and felt that it was too much, just like that?"
"Ah, stinky boy, how do you talk to your sister?"
Kim Xuan'er, who has never been a good man and a woman, immediately broke out again, chasing and beating An Junhyuk constantly dodging, of course, these are just banters like venting, although Jin Xuan'er didn't say it, but Ahn Jun-hyuk knew that she was actually very nervous.
This "Jin Sanshun" is not only related to her recent life, but also profoundly affects her future path, she is not young, it is impossible to be sexy forever, seeking transformation is an inevitable process, if you succeed, you can climb to the sky from this step, if you fail, the trough period in the next 2 or 3 years can also be predicted, more serious, you may take a back seat from now on, say goodbye to the word star.
Facing such a major turning point, anyone who thinks about it will suffer from gains and losses.
In fact, not only her, everyone in the crew has similar worries, as newcomers Zheng Liyuan and Daniel, if they want to gain a foothold in the film and television industry, this drama is the most critical factor, if they succeed, they can wear the title of newcomer and officially become an actor.
The same is true for Kim Yoon-chul and Kim Do-woo, whether they are hot or obscure, this "Kim Sam-soon" is directly related to their fate, and even Ahn Jun-hyuk, who is the least urgent, is a little nervous on this day.
He just started to like this profession and wanted to keep going, he is not a saint without desires, maybe money is not a pursuit for him, but popularity, he must get, an actor wants to grow in popularity, only by continuing to come up with good works, and try to avoid every possible failure.
Although in the dream, he vaguely remembers the success of "My Name is Jin Sanshun", but the reality is not a dream in the end, many things have changed, and he does not have so much confidence, guaranteeing that this time it will be successful, he can only work hard to make himself perform well, as for the final result, the audience will judge.
After finishing the shooting at the top of the mountain, the group went back to the hotel where they stayed at the bottom of the mountain, and it rained on the mountain for a long time.
Temporarily putting aside the faint apprehension in his heart, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who returned to the room, hurriedly took a bath, didn't eat, and fell asleep until he was woken up by the phone ringing.
I opened my hazy sleepy eyes, raised my wrist and looked at the time, it was already more than 8 o'clock at night, and when I connected the phone, the microphone came from Kim Xuan'er's sneaky voice on the other side: "Jun Hyuk, open the door, I'm outside your door!"
After that, he hung up the phone without waiting for him to agree.
"......" scratched his hair speechlessly, Ahn Junhyuk had to open the door, and then realized that it was not only Kim Xuan'er outside the door, but also Zheng Liyuan and Daniel, all three of whom were still wearing pajamas, with sleepy eyes and a look of misgrief.
"Uh, you ......"
"Oops, don't talk nonsense, get out of the way, the premiere is about to start!" Jin Xuan'er shouted impatiently, pushed him away, and beckoned Zheng Liyuan and Daniel into the house.
Turning sideways and watching them swarm in, trotting to the back of the TV to turn on the TV, Ahn Jun-hyuk was stunned and smiled wryly.
On this night, in Seoul, Busan, Daegu, Gwangju and other places, it is not uncommon to suddenly turn on the TV, some people choose "Resurrection", and some people choose "My Name is Kim Sam Soon", the first round of competition in the summer water and wood drama officially kicked off! )
