Chapter 935: Tara's Return (Part II)
With the broadcast of "City Hunter", the whole of Asia has been hooked by this new drama played by Junxiu, and countless fans are waiting on their computers every week to wait for the live broadcast. Because this drama is an idol drama, this type of TV series is indeed not what aunts like, so it is not so powerful in traditional TV ratings, it can be said that this is the first time that Junxiu premiered on a TV series without 10%, but fortunately, the second episode reached 13%, saving some face.
Although the drama is not very prominent in the traditional ratings, many people can also understand that first of all, this is a Mizuki drama, unlike the weekend dramas that Junxiu starred in before. Secondly, this drama is still very topical in South Korea and even in the whole of Asia. The introduction, after the first week of the TV series aired, was soon negotiated by various Asian TV stations. And the introduction price of Junxiu's TV series is still the highest in the market, there is no one!
This is also the reason why the TV station is willing to spend a lot of money to invite Junxiu to play the male lead, because the words 'JS Junxiu starring' can be more than double the introduction price of other TV dramas. You must know that the price of each episode is not calculated in Korean won, but in US dollars!
Today, during the break on the set, Junxiu has been holding an iPad and watching the news of the show on the Internet, the TV series has been on the air for the second week, and the ratings report has also come out, but the ratings of the third and fourth episodes still haven't reached 20%, and the highest is only 15%, which has a big psychological impact on Junxiu, who is used to high ratings.
Those anti on the Internet seem to have poor ratings, as if they have finally raised their eyebrows, Junxiu's three or four episodes this time did not break through 20%, so it is very likely that the follow-up TV series will not reach more than 40%. It's like a firecracker celebration for anti-tarnish.
The antis on the Internet are awake and encouraged, but the plot of the TV series has not yet fully unfolded, and they are happy to just curse two handsome TV series on the street, but will they really pounce?
After the ratings report came out from the second week, director Chen He also saw Junxiu's worries, so he took advantage of the break to come to Junxiu's side with coffee, as the absolute male lead, the character at the center of the story, his mood may affect the filming later. So the director also needs to come over and persuade Junxiu.
He held the coffee, gently touched Junxiu's shoulder twice and handed him the coffee, Junxiu also put away the iPad in his hand and looked at the director with a smile: "Director, why don't you keep the monitor?"
"Seeing that you have been restless these days, I will come over to enlighten you. "The director is very straightforward, without any false transitions.
Listening to the director's straightforward words, Junxiu said with a wry smile: "I've seen people with strong winds and waves." None of the 100,000 antis knocked me down before. ”
"Anti didn't knock you out, but I'm afraid you knocked yourself out. The first time I filmed a TV series, I didn't get close to 20% of the ratings in the second week, didn't I feel good?"
The director's words were still so direct, he accurately said Junxiu's worries, which made him shake his head and say, "Maybe." The news and messages from the outside world have a little bit of an impact. I've tried to ignore it, but looking at the ratings that can't go up, I'm as anxious as you are. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not in a hurry, I shoot TV series to make money for the TV station. Although the ratings of this show are not high for the time being, the time buyout of advertisers has made the whole show profitable. It's only the second week, and then it's time to make money. And there are also overseas rights, so ah, this drama is a success for me and for the TV station."
After the director said this, he took out his own cigarette and lit one of them, and the director continued: "Junxiu, this is a Shuimu drama, it's not a weekend drama you filmed before, Shuimu drama is the so-called youth idol theme, and it is impossible for these to be appreciated by uncles and aunts." So, 15% of the ratings is already in the category of success, and you think about the young people who like idol dramas on Wednesday and Thursday have to go to work. The only thing left is that middle and high school students will be waiting in front of the TV, and they don't necessarily have a say in the TV. So what we look at is the network ratings, topicality, and on-demand replay. These answers, our dramas are the first, and even surpass the weekend dramas. So, if you don't have the love of uncles and aunts, you don't want to watch the traditional ratings. Come on, in this play, your acting skills have improved again.."
.........
Three weeks, four weeks, after the TV series was broadcast, the ratings still stayed between 18-19, and it has not rushed to 20%, but everyone in the crew knows that this drama will definitely break through 20 next week. Before you know it, the time has entered, and at the end of June, Jun-so's overseas special "RM" was also broadcast in Korea, and all Korean fans used to read about Jun-so's overseas popularity from the news media.
And this time, the camera of the program team personally recorded Junxiu's overseas popularity, and Junxiu's popularity in Thailand was really terrifying. Along with the release of the show, SBS also gave Junsu a news gift, and Junso's "City Hunter" starring Junsu cost up to $180,000 per episode. You must know that there are more than a dozen TV stations that have introduced this drama. It is equivalent to saying that once introduced, the TV series will earn more than 1 billion, and more than 10 will be more than 10 billion.
After this price came out, it once again confirmed the value of the TV series starring Junxiu, even if the ratings in South Korea were Waterloo, but in the overseas market, and overseas topics are still so explosive. Young people across Asia are slowly getting into the rhythm of City Hunter.
And at this time, Tara's new album cover was finally released on the official website, and the retro-style Tara appeared in the public eye, and many people accused the producer Junxiu of plagiarizing the idea of "Sunshine Sisters", but who cares?
At the end of June, the full version of Tara's album's title song MV was released on YouTube, and the disco elements of "Roly-Poly" were post-80s, fused with modern music, giving people a completely retro feel. The backing dance of "Roly-Poly", which is a fusion of retro dance popular in the 70s and 80s, a compact diamond dance, and ABC dance, will be reminiscent of "Saturday Night Passion", and this retro hot wind has exploded in Korea.
