Chapter 38: Don't You Care About Ratings?
At the time of the first episode of the TV series "School 2013" aired on KBS2, Wang Nam-qian was busy on the set: since he returned to Seoul from Hong Kong to participate in MAMA, both directors Li demanded more from him - which also led to a significant increase in the amount of time he spent standing in front of the camera.

'Why did these two directors become devils all of a sudden?' Is there something I don't know about?' In the interval between being tortured by the two directors who suddenly became stricter, he once quietly asked Lee Jong Suk, the person who didn't have a camera until the third episode and spent the shortest time with him in the crew.
'Brother Nan, how would I know if you ask me about this kind of thing? You should ask Naranuna or Brother Daniel. This was the answer given to him by an innocent Lee Jong Suk.
Because he only appeared as a transfer student for the first time in the third episode, Lee Jong Suk did not stay in the crew for a long time every day like the other main actors during the filming of the first two episodes, which also made his relationship with the other artists in the crew a little rusty - in order to make up for it, Lee Jong Suk had more shots and began his long "stay up late journey" After that, he asked the crew and the participating artists to improve the meal once: after that barbecue that almost broke his production, Lee Jong Suk finally succeeded in getting closer to everyone.
And Wang Nanqian also quickly became close to Lee Jong Suk after that: in this place in South Korea, no one will get along with barbecue, and nothing can be solved by a barbecue - not to mention that Lee Jong Suk himself has many similarities with him, whether it is personality or way of doing things, Wang Nanqian feels that this younger brother, who is a few centimeters taller than him, is a person who is very compatible with him.
'Brother Daniel, why did the two directors suddenly become like devils?' After saying goodbye to Lee Jong Suk, who also knew nothing, Wang Namqian grabbed Choi Daniel during another break.
I can probably guess a little. Unlike Lee Jong Suk, Choi Daniel gave his opinion with a smile - so Wang Nam-qian finally understood why the two directors, Lee Min-hong and Lee Ying-bok, had been frowning and shouting "stop" to him from behind the cameras for the past two days.
During the two days that Wang Nam-qian went to Hong Kong to participate in MAMA, the promotional trailer for the TV series "School 2013" was also officially broadcast: after the scene of him and Lee Jong Suk staring at each other appeared in the trailer, his image of him wearing a school uniform in this TV series was also exposed - so almost everyone who followed the TV series inevitably talked about the same question: just looking like it looks like "please answer 1997" The image is not different, the appearance in the school uniform is very similar, and even the hairstyle and outfit are very similar......
There are even people who find fault with the thorns who said this: This drama was decided to be made after seeing that "Please Answer 1997" became popular, right? Not only did Wang Nanqian, the protagonist, be invited, but even the numbers in the title of the play were the product of imitation, right?
Probably because of this argument that aroused the two directors' hearts of victory and defeat - after returning to Seoul and joining the crew again, Wang Nanqian has not had a good day: it is a very good thing to be able to finish work before two o'clock in the morning every day, even on the day when the TV series has officially started broadcasting, he has been working in front of the camera until nearly three o'clock, which is a very embarrassing time.
"Are the ratings out? Does anyone know what the ratings are?"
After Lee Min-hong, the No. 1 director, finally stood up from his small bench, clapped his hands and shouted the word "call it a day", I don't know who first mentioned the word ratings -- so the entire set suddenly resounded with the shouts of director Lee Ying-bok.
"Everyone has worked hard, please advise me tomorrow," in the cold December, standing in front of the camera for more than an hour wearing only a school uniform, Wang Nanqian felt that his body was about to be frozen and unconscious: rubbing his stiff shoulders, he kept bowing his head to the staff who were busy packing up various equipment and props around him - now he doesn't care about the ratings at all, he just wants to hurry back to the dormitory to take a hot shower, "Please pay attention to keep warm, don't catch a cold." ā
"Don't you care about the ratings?" Lin Xuanjun had already arrived near the set at eleven o'clock: he sat in the nanny car and slept intermittently for two nights, and finally waited for Wang Nanqian to get off work - not far away, he saw the captain of the hard-working and pale face that looked like a faded exo-m, and he ran over with a smile and put on a coat for Wang Nanqian.
"Brother Xuan Jun, after you are also like me and freeze for hours in this ghost weather, do you think you will be in the mood to care about the ratings?" After putting on a heavy coat, he didn't feel a little warm, and Wang Nanqian, who was frozen, wrapped her arms around her chest and complained softly to her agent.
"Okay, okay, I got you hot coffee in the car, which I bought from the convenience store an hour ago. ā
Wang Nanqian is the oldest member of the EXO group, and the edges and corners of his personality have been hidden in the deepest corners after a long trainee career: it is not a common thing to hear such emotional words from the mouth of this child who has always used the language and methods taught by S.M. as a template for dealing with people and things outside--Lin Xuanjun couldn't help laughing, and at this time, he suddenly had a feeling that his relationship with this child had become closer.
It's the same when managing f(x), when he first debuted, except for Cui Xueli's girl, almost none of the other girls could fluently finish a whole sentence in front of him - it wasn't until they got the first place on the singing stage in 2011 that the other girls gradually began to dare to show girlish personalities such as coquettish and willful in front of him.
"Brother, thank you. ā
Because a cold wind was blowing, Wang Nanqian, who was just wearing a coat and had just recovered a little body temperature, was shivering with cold: he thanked Lin Xuanjun in his mouth, and at the same time took out his mobile phone - with his fingers, whose joints were frozen and almost immobile, he laboriously scratched the standby lock on the screen, and he saw the message that caused the phone to vibrate in his pocket.
"Nanqian oppa, congratulations on the official release of your new TV series! We have been very busy lately, and we have no time to contact you, how are you doing lately?Are you working hard in the crew? I don't know why, I suddenly miss you a little, if you are awake, can you contact me?"
"It's out!It's out!14.2%! The first episode has a 14.2% rating!"
The moment he saw that message, I don't know which girl with a sharp voice let out a scream, and then the entire set behind him resounded with a cheer. (To be continued.) )
