Episode 281: C&C's second actor
"AGB 18.6% nationwide, Seoul 19.2%. ”
Hearing the director's announcement of the final confirmed premiere ratings early the next morning, Kim Xuan'er's tense mood for the whole night finally relaxed, as a miniseries, close to 20% of the premiere ratings is already an absolute hit, which means that if nothing else, 30% of the ratings must be there, and 40% is possible. With confidence, she looked around, but she didn't find Zheng Xiyi, frowned slightly, turned around and walked towards the rest area.
"Judging from the detailed analysis report sent back by AGB, Xiyi, you are still affected by the ANTI incident. Based on previous data analysis, you can probably increase viewership by an average of 2% to 3%, but this time it's not even 1.5%. ”
Jin Xuan'er stopped when she heard the voice, this should be the voice of Zheng Xiyi's agent Li Chengman, but she didn't expect the content of the conversation to be ratings. Jin Xuan'er thought for a while, added some strength to her feet, and made a little sound, before turning the corner and walking into the rest area.
Li Chengman glanced back, and when he saw that it was Jin Xuan'er, he sat still, just nodded and said hello, Jin Xuan'er deliberately stopped and saluted, and then looked at him and Zheng Xiyi with inquiring eyes.
Zheng Xiyi made a gesture to sit down and said to Jin Xuan'er: "It's okay, it's no secret that Brother Cheng Man and I are talking about the premiere ratings." ”
Jin Xuan'er was in a good mood, so she didn't be too restrained, smiled and walked to her recliner and sat down, and said lightly: "Is there really no need to keep it secret? If it was known that the ratings could have been higher, I am afraid that some people will be dissatisfied." ”
Zheng Xiyi stretched out his hands: "As long as you have no opinion on director NIM and writer NIM and NUNA, I don't care what other people have opinions." ”
Jin Xuan'er put her hand against her chin and thought about it, "Well, I don't have any opinion on this result, it's already medium for the premiere of the miniseries to exceed 13%, it's good to be able to exceed 15%, and if you still have opinions above 18%, it can only be said that you are too greedy, but if you don't let the director NIM and the writer NIM know about this matter, it's better not to let them know, more is better than less." ”
Zheng Xiyi nodded, he didn't worry about what others thought, and it didn't matter if the director and writer had opinions. Since he was invited to star, it means that he has considered the pros and cons, his value as a starring actor has just not reached the peak, but it has still grown, so if you have an opinion, Zheng Xiyi can't do anything, but as Jin Xuan'er said, more things are better than less, and there is no need to publicize it.
Zheng Xiyi looked at Jin Xuan'er's expression and suddenly laughed, "NUNA seems to be a lot easier, is it completely given up or completely relieved?"
Jin Xuan'er gave him a big roll of the eyeball, "Of course I'm completely relieved." 18.6% I still give up completely, that's how ambitious. ”
Zheng Xiyi smiled weirdly, "25%! This is the premiere ratings that NUNA guessed, and the ambition is clearly written in the notebook." ”
Jin Xuan'er, who was teased, looked at Zheng Xiyi hatefully and didn't dare to make a move, Li Chengman sat on the side, she was not Cheng Youli, and she hadn't kissed enough to be able to fight with Zheng Xiyi in front of her agent. Zheng Xiyi grimaced at her, laughed twice, and was so angry that she stomped her foot, picked up the script and fell on the recliner to read it.
Zheng Xiyi stopped teasing her, turned his head to Li Chengman and said: "This data is actually much better than I expected, at least not negative growth, and this is the premiere, when the plot gradually gets better, I estimate that it should slowly return to normal values, and the detailed data of each episode in the future should still be asked for AGB, and then observe four episodes." ”
Li Chengman nodded in agreement, Jin Xuan'er put the script on his stomach and asked, "Xiyi, do you still care about this?" SidusHQ just pays attention to the ratings every time, and it doesn't seem to be as careful as you pay attention to. ”
Zheng Xiyi spread his hands and said: "I am a returnee, and the method of being an artist may be different from that of local Korean artists, and recently I want to introduce some scientific management methods worth learning from American agencies into the company, so that the company can be better managed when there are more artists in the future." ”
Jin Xuan'er blinked, and suddenly remembered Zheng Xiyi's other identity, and couldn't help but turn over and sit up again: "Huh, Xiyi, do you want to turn S.MC&C into the management model of an American brokerage company?"
Zheng Xiyi waved his hand again and again: "Ani, Ani, I'm not so bold to challenge all the brokerage companies in South Korea." ”
Jin Xuan'er was immediately deflated when she heard this, "Cut, I thought Xiyi, you were going to turn S.MC&C into CAA, if it really became like that, I would jump to C&C when my contract expired." ”
Zheng Xiyi slapped his thigh, "Oops, I forgot to turn on the recording function just now, and I recorded Sister Xuan'er's words and then released them to the media!"
Jin Xuan'er kicked him falsely and fell back into the recliner softly, "Eh, Xiyi, when do you say that Korean brokerage companies can be like American brokerage companies?"
Zheng Xiyi shook his head, "NUNA, don't dream, it's impossible." ”
Jin Xuan'er didn't speak again, because Zheng Xiyi was right, Korean brokerage companies may slowly relax the management of artists and no longer strictly control the freedom of artists, but they will never become European-American brokerage companies serving artists.
After being stunned for a while, Jin Xuan'er suddenly sat up again, "Xiyi, what did you mean just now that S.MC&C will soon have new artists joining?"
Zheng Xiyi glanced at her in surprise, but she didn't expect that although this NUNA played a stupid big sister, she was actually a shrewd person, and her words didn't leak anything, but she still found out.
Jin Xuan'er was swept away by Zheng Xiyi's eyes, and immediately realized that she had asked abruptly, what was she doing as an artist of SidusHQ to inquire about S.MC&C's trade secrets.
She looked at Li Chengman, who wanted to speak and stopped, and stood up with an embarrassed smile: "Eh, it seems that the time is almost up, I'll go out and prepare first." ”
Zheng Xiyi raised his chin at Jin Xuan'er's back as if fleeing for his life, and said to Li Chengman: "Brother Chengman, you scared Sister Xuan'er away with a black face." People just casually asked, is it necessary for you to be so nervous when you look like a commercial spy? We didn't dig into the corner of SidusHQ, not to mention that Sister Xuan'er is not that kind of person. ”
Li Chengman didn't want to dwell on this topic, reached out to open his folder, pointed to the data on it and reported it to Zheng Xiyi again.
The ratings of the second broadcast made the whole crew rejoice, and the national average rating jumped by 5% in one go, and Seoul even rose by 7.6% to 26.8%, which is a remarkable achievement, and even the Korean media began to pay attention to Jung Hee-yi's new drama.
Generally speaking, the second episode of most dramas will drop a little bit compared to the premiere, and even if it rises, it will rarely exceed 1%, because the audience who watches the premiere is coming for the name of the director, writer, and actor, and after watching the premiere, the audience who doesn't like the plot will not chase the next episode, so the ratings will decline. If the ratings of the second broadcast do not drop much or even increase a little, it means that the show is accepted by the vast majority of the audience, and as long as there are no major problems with the plot in the future, the ratings will slowly rise, but if the second episode like "My Name is Jin Sanshun" rises sharply, then it is likely that it will be the birth of another national drama.
In this wave of attention to "My Name is Kim Sam Soon", an official announcement of S.MC&C suddenly attracted the public's attention: rookie actor Lee Joon-gi will sign with S.MC&C and become its second male artist.
It's not a big deal for a rookie actor, but what makes everyone curious is that S.MC&C actually held a signing ceremony and press conference for Lee Joon-gi, and the name of Jung Hee-yi was among the attendees, and the meaning of it made many people speculate.
At 10:30 a.m. on June 13, the small hall of S.M Company was full of media reporters, and the ceremony and press conference of Lee Joon-gi's signing of S.MC&C were held here.
There are only a few people in S.MC&C, the artist management department has not yet been established, it is impossible for Kim Yingmin and Jung Hee-yi to surrender their identities to preside over the signing ceremony, and Li Chengman has no experience in hosting, so he had to invite Lin Xiyin to act as a temporary host. With her opening remarks, Kim Young-min, Jung Hee-yi, and Lee Sung-man entered and sat down, and finally Lee Joon-gi appeared on the stage, stood in front of the stage with a slightly nervous smile, posed and listened to the call of the reporters and constantly changed directions and began to take pictures.
After shooting for three minutes, the reporters returned to their positions and sat down satisfied, and Lee Joon-gi also turned around and wanted to go back to his position to sit down, but he was dizzy and dizzy just now, and his eyes were a little disobedient, but fortunately, his position was in the middle, and there was still some distance from the photo area, so he had to slow down and walk in the direction of his memory.
Zheng Xiyi was sitting on the left hand side of his seat, and when he saw Lee Joon-gi walking slowly and still trying to open and close his eyes, he stood up with a smile and opened his hand to hug the oncoming Lee Joon-gi, blocking the reporters' sight with his head, and whispered: "Hold it for a long time, delay the time, and let go when your eyes can see it." ”
The reporters in the audience let out a low exclamation, stood up and shot wildly, Lee Joon-gi finally regained his eyesight, patted Zheng Xiyi's back gratefully, the two of them let go of their hands and smiled at each other, and there was another flash of light in the audience. After Kim Young-min and Lee Joon-gi symbolically signed and exchanged contracts, they stood together and were photographed, the signing ceremony ended, the press conference officially began, and Lee Joon-gi's eyes finally fully recovered.
Lee Joon-gi, who finally saw the hundreds of reporters in the audience, couldn't tell whether he was excited or nervous, but in any case, there must be a feeling of humiliation. Although he used to be a graphic model, he often faced flashes, but it was the first time that nearly 100 flashes were lit up in front of him almost at the same time, so he was tricked. Thinking of his dizzy appearance just now, Lee Joon-gi couldn't help but tilt his head and swept Zheng Xiyi on the left with the corner of his eye.
Zheng Xiyi looked at the audience with a smile on his face, but in fact, he was thinking about a very troublesome thing in his mind, or a particularly troublesome thing composed of a lot of troublesome things, and today, in fact, is just the beginning......
