Chapter 318: Works of Conscience

"The Secret Garden" is half a year ahead of memory, which means that there will be a lot of variables. The director has changed, the plot has been adapted, the actors have also been adjusted, and the production company has been replaced with a silly hat, so it can be said that this TV series is different from the original.

Not the original, doesn't mean it's of poor quality, on the contrary, it's better.

Li Shixun was convinced of this, so he showed strong confidence in front of Yuna. He personally participated in the adaptation of the script and discussed the plot with Kim Eun-sook, and his understanding of the story was not much different from the original.

He is also the director of this TV series, and he knows every shot and every picture well. The actors' performance is better than the original, and the editing is more painstaking than the original. So he has reason to believe that the premiere can create a miracle.

Of course, not all of them are perfect. After all, he is a first-time instructor and has a lot to be desired. However, these deficiencies can be masked when editing. Coupled with his popularity call, as well as the popularity of the leading actors themselves, it seems that there is no need to doubt anything.

However, after dawn, Li Shixun received the newspaper of the day from the secretary.

Without exception, the newspapers are full of depreciation of Li Shixun's TV series, even in front of the survey data. They also put forward reasons, the first of which is that Li Shixun is not from a relevant professional background, and he doubts his guidance ability.

Interestingly, although the newspaper was full of suspicion, it did not name names, and it was somewhat secretive, completely contrary to the sharp in the past. Regarding this, Li Shixun understood it almost as soon as his mind turned.

It is still his name that plays a role, and how the media reports it, it must also take into account some public opinion. Now Li Shixun is the general trend. Even if you are hungry for doubt, you must be calm and have a reason, otherwise indiscriminate accusations will only cause trouble. Didn't you see that some time ago, Li Shixun was taken away by the Blue House, and there was a demonstration?

The ability to guide is one thing, and having a strong opponent is also a reason for not being optimistic. SBS TV is not just about Li Shixun, a TV series to broadcast. In terms of moon fire dramas, there are "Ohmylady" starring Choi Si-won and Chae Lin, and "Coffee House", which will be broadcast in May, starring Kang Ji-hwan and Park Shi-yeon.

In terms of starring popularity, scripts, etc., these two films are not inferior to "Secret Garden" directed by Li Shixun, and in terms of expectations, they are almost the same.

In addition, there are works such as Song Joong Ki's "Obstetrics and Gynecology", Kim So-yeon's "Prosecutor Princess", and Lee Seung Ki's "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox", which will be released one by one after Lee Shi-hoon's TV series. It's a big sniper to the ratings.

There are also weekend dramas such as "Mother's Desire", "How Beautiful Life Is", "Neighbors" and so on. Not to mention, there are two other major TV stations, as well as South Korea's cable TV station.

Originally, with Li Shixun's popularity and the appeal of the actors, it was not difficult to stand out among so many works, but because the stupid hat company was inexperienced or too anxious, it was not a big trick to set the broadcast time in April instead of the summer vacation.

Above. It's all in the newspaper, and you should pay attention to Li Shixun's words. They are not so polite to an entertainment company, not to mention that this company still wants to be promoted from the idol circle to the entertainment industry, so it's strange if you can't be sarcastic.

As for these newspapers, Li Shixun completely regarded them as jokes, flipped through them slightly, and threw them aside. But. Although he didn't care, some people cared, and they were even more worried.

"Minister Jin, why do you have time to call me?" said Li Shixun with a smile.

Minister Jin on the other end of the phone was not in such a good mood as him, and said with some concern: "Shixun." Did you read today's newspaper?"

"Well, just finished reading it, it's just some nonsense, don't worry too much. Li Shixun said casually.

"It's some nonsense, but it's also shrewd. Shixun, I think it's better to change it to a weekend drama, I don't know the bottom of the water and wood drama!" Minister Jin said with a wry smile.

The difference between Mizuki dramas and weekend dramas is that there are fewer Mizuki dramas, and there is one episode per day, weekend dramas are mainly family-oriented, suitable for families to sit and watch together on weekends, and the number of episodes is more than that of Shuimu dramas.

"Minister Jin, are you so unconfident in me?" Li Shixun said helplessly. Minister Jin is from the variety show department in the end, although he is involved in TV dramas, he is not proficient in it, Li Shixun still understands this mentality, which can be understood, but it does not mean that he agrees.

"Of course I have confidence in Shixun, I'm just ......"

"Okay, Minister Kim, don't worry too much, it's just a TV series, even if the ratings are almost nothing. Li Shixun interrupted him and said: "Even if you want to change, it's too late, I have already said that I will relax tonight, and I can't miss the appointment, so I will be more passive." ”

"Actually, forget it, if you have faith, why should I worry about you. Minister Jin held back when he had something to say, and finally said, "That's it, have time to have a drink together." ”

"Well, goodbye!" Li Shixun hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

He understands what Minister Kim is worried about, his every move is being watched now, and if this work is not satisfactory, it will be a huge blow to himself. However, Minister Jin didn't understand that he, Li Shixun, was strictly a general and was not an artist.

It doesn't matter if it's popular or not, as long as it can make money. Don't forget, at heart, he, Li Shixun, is a businessman.

Putting aside the idea of indifference, Li Shixun continued to work.

On this day, the crew finished work early, and Li Shixun invited the whole crew to eat Chinese food, and everyone waited for the TV series to play while eating. While eating, Pani and Taeyeon also rushed over on Yoona's phone.

At this time, Pani and Taeyeon had just finished their announcement, and when Yoona received the call, they were coming out of the TV station.

The arrival of the two members of the young naturally made the crew cheer for a while, and it was lively for a while. But it was only for a while, and as the TV series officially began to play, everyone's eyes were all on the only TV in the restaurant.

The leading actors had serious faces, their eyes hit, and they all put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands and stared at the pictures on the TV. And Li Shixun also watched for a while, and then received a call from Minister Kim.

"Shixun, good news, the ratings of the premiere are 21 percent in the Seoul area and 19.5 percent nationwide!" Minister Kim's laughter came through the speaker in Lee Shixun's hand.

The huge cheers of "Ouye ......" immediately erupted from the Chinese restaurant.

That night, news about the ratings of the horrific premiere of "The Secret Garden" circulated on the Internet, and SBS TV even used the conscience work as the headline to analyze the reasons for the horror of the ratings in all aspects, and sarcastically and refuted the media reports during the day.
