Chapter 139: A New Drama That Stands Out from the Crowd (Part I)

"Infinite Challenge" followed Junsu to participate in the New Year's Eve concert in New York, which is a big thing for the Korean entertainment industry. But the appearance of this news can be regarded as promoting Junxiu in disguise, because everyone knows that without Junxiu, it would be impossible for Korean artists to have such an opportunity to appear on such a world-class stage.

Although the news said that Yoo Jae-seok appeared on the Times Square concert, the reason why he went on stage was also because Junsu sang on stage. So, Junxiu's fame has been publicized again. This is a good thing for the whole crew, the TV series will be released in two days, and at this time, the topic of Junxiu suddenly became hot, isn't it equivalent to doing preliminary publicity for their drama?

At noon that day, the buffet of the hotel booked by Junxiu was delivered to the crew. This made the crew happy, because such a sumptuous dish is very rare in the crew, and everyone has a boxed lunch on weekdays, even Junxiu is no exception. So today's New Year's dinner that Junsu invited everyone to eat is happy for the entire crew.

If you eat well, you will have the strength to work. There are more than 100 people in the entire crew, Junxiu has spent a lot of money this time, and the hotel's buffet starts at 100,000 yuan per person. It is equivalent to saying that Junxiu spent at least 10 million won on this meal. This is something that the director has never thought about.

At lunchtime, the director came to Junxiu with a dinner plate and thanked him: "Junxiu, you make it very difficult for our crew, what should we do with the finale banquet next month after such an expensive New Year's meal?"

Junxiu said with a smile: "If our TV drama has high ratings, then the crew of the finale banquet will invite us to eat Korean beef, do you say?

Normally, barbecue (pork) is eaten at the finale banquet, but Junsu deliberately said 'eat Korean beef' at this time, which was instantly supported by the staff: "Yes, yes, the finale banquet eats Korean beef." ”

Listening to the voice of the big guy, the director could only smile bitterly and shook his head and said: "If our TV series breaks 40% of the ratings, then the finale banquet will eat Korean cow! Even if the TV station doesn't pay for it, how about I pay out of my own pocket?"

Junxiu took the lead in applauding and said, "Okay~~!!For our Hanniu, cheer everyone!Huai Ting~~!"

"Huai Ting!!ha~~!!"

The whole working atmosphere on the set is very good, especially when I meet a 'good' actor like Junxiu and a director who is easy to talk to, the atmosphere of the whole crew is very active. This makes the staff who work hard in the cold winter also feel warm, and the atmosphere is good, and the work is not so boring.

After eating two bites of the dishes on his plate, the director said to Junxiu and Han Jiaren: "The TV series is about to start, how much do you bet on Junxiu?"

Betting on ratings is not really gambling, but a crew custom. Because the ratings of the TV series are very important, only when you get off to a good start, everyone will work very smoothly and be more motivated!

When talking about the ratings, Junsu smiled and said, "Then I'll bet 20%, if the ratings of one or two episodes reach 20%, and the director invites everyone to coffee? If it doesn't reach 20%, then I invite everyone to coffee?"

It reached 20% at the beginning of the broadcast, which is a very scary rating. In recent years, there has been no drama that has reached 20% of the broadcast, and even the highest rated "Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu" in the past two years has not reached 20% of the ratings when it was launched, and Junxiu said 20%?

But in today's Internet era, many people don't watch live broadcasts on TV. With a convenient network, you can search for it and watch it anytime and anywhere, so many people are waiting to watch the replay on the weekend, after all, chasing dramas is a very hard thing. And Junxiu's TV series is not a weekend drama!, so it's normal for everyone to choose to watch the replay on the weekend.

When the director heard Junxiu open his mouth and count directly, he was stunned: "Wow.. Junxiu, your 'point' is really scary, I'll just treat you as a joke. ”

Han Jiaren followed the director's words and said to Junxiu: "Yes, Junxiu, if this number was in the past, it was still possible." But now there has been no 20% rating for the opening chapter for many years, and you and I haven't appeared in one or two episodes yet. ”

Han Jiaren thinks that if there is a handsome appearance at the beginning, then he bets 20%, then he can really try to bet on it. After all, Junso's own TV series ratings are very high. But there is no handsome figure in the first five episodes, all of them are young actors, or rookie actors, so what is he betting on 20% at this time, which makes people think that he is deliberately talking funny.

Junxiu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll bet 20%." If the start of the drama reaches 20%, then our drama is likely to reach 40% later. So, I bet 20% in order to get a good idea, and if I didn't reach it, I thought I wanted to invite the hard-working staff to coffee. ”

The director shook his head and said, "Okay, since you all said that you want to get a good meaning, then I'll bet 15%!! ”

Han Jiaren smiled and said: "Then I'll bet too, I'll bet 13%!! If it really reaches 20%, the director, you invite once, I will also ask once!"

"Okay, that's it. When the broadcast starts the day after tomorrow, we will book a restaurant to eat!!"

.......

Two days later, in a restaurant that grilled fat sausages not far from the crew, in a private room with a TV, Junxiu, Han Ga-jin, etc., the leading actors, as well as the director and screenwriter, all sat inside and waited for the ratings report after the broadcast.

Junxiu gambled 20% of the ratings at the start of the show, which made many staff members think that Junxiu was simply talking stupidly. Everyone doesn't believe that one or two episodes of TV will reach 20% after they are broadcast, you must know that betting on ratings is not a moment of betting. If it's an instant, there might be some hope. The script is a drama in which Junsu participates, and everyone is curious about what the opening is like.

But the crew bets that the ratings are all averages. And Junxiu's average rating of 20% is a bit fantastical. You must know that he and Ha Ji Won's "Secret Garden" have not reached 20% recently, and the original publicity was 20 million box office actors. This publicity is much stronger than their drama!!
