"The Beggar Becomes the Prince" premiered on the 15th, and the ratings of TNMS Seoul broke 15%, and TMS 14.8% nationwide.

Whether it is the director, screenwriter or MBC station leaders, they all thought that "The Beggar Becomes the Prince" was very popular, and no one noticed the fragmentary "boring" remarks on the Internet.

But when it was broadcast on the 16th, the ratings dived all the way from the advertising time before the broadcast, and by the time the broadcast began, the real-time ratings were less than 12%, and after an hour of broadcasting, the ratings fell to less than 10%.

TMS national 9.3%, TNMS Seoul 9.9%, the big jump in ratings, proves that this drama is already half cool.

Everyone in the crew knows that there is not the slightest problem with the production of the second episode, whether it is from the perspective of the actors, from the director's point of view, from the point of view of editing, they can do it with a clear conscience.

The fundamental problem that led to the diving of ratings can only be found in the script.

In the first episode, everyone was fooled by the overwhelming publicity before, and came to watch it with the mentality of watching the excitement.

Kim Tae-ho, who debuted at the age of 7 and then immigrated to France, starred in two leading roles in movies with a box office of over 100 million dollars, and has already stepped into Hollywood with one foot.

The first TV series starring such a big star, can you not watch it?

In the girls' generation of the music bank for nine consecutive championships, Lin Yuna, the head of the house, starred in the first water and wood drama after the fire of "Miss Shibi", and she couldn't come to see the excitement?

Through overwhelming publicity, relying on the star effect of the two people, the ratings of the first episode were very good.

Most of the first episode is Tae-ho's role, and it is also thanks to Tae-ho's performance that he is good enough to attract the audience to watch the first episode, so that the ratings of the first episode will not suddenly dive in relaxation.

But no matter how good the performance is, it's useless, the cliché of the plot is a fatal wound, and the audience can react in one night.

"This ...... No, I can't. Director Liu Zhengjun smoked a cigarette depressedly: "The station has invested so many resources, it can't hand over such an answer sheet." ”

"It seems that the actor's brand is too big, which makes me a little floating, this TV series still has to focus on the plot in the end. No matter how good the actor is, if the script is not good, it is not good, this is an eternal truth. Liu Zhengjun sighed helplessly.

Taili asked Liu Zhengjun about it, and in addition to Xingshi asking for guilt, he also asked Liu Zhengjun to come up with a solution. After all, we have invested so many resources in your foolishness, and you don't want to make a profit, you have to find a way to stop the loss.

In order to find a way, Liu Zhengjun's hair turned gray with real sorrow, and the wrinkles on his face were much deeper.

Of course, the script has to be revised, combined with the opinions of most netizens, the pace of the plot is accelerated, and the original two episodes of the story are crammed into one episode.

There are also more dramatic conflicts, and the positioning of the characters is different, the male protagonist and the female protagonist are good people, the male and female protagonists are bad people, and the people who have conflicts with the protagonist are bad people.

And revise the outline at large length, so that the bad guys are more pure. Don't let the audience feel that the bad guy framed the male protagonist for love and justice, and the bad guy should have the appearance of a bad guy, just for his own selfish desires.

In order to change the plot, writer Zhao Yunying tore up the script that had been written to the tenth episode and rewrote it from the third episode.

got the script of the third episode of the writer's painstaking work, and the crew rotated day and night, and all the previous shots were scrapped and filming started again. The leading actors don't have to go back to their homes, and it's good to sleep with clothes on the nanny's car, which is convenient for waking you up to make up and shoot.

"The other problems are easy to solve, but what about the 'low degree of matching', the two of them don't look like a couple, what can I do?

It would be okay if a few people said so, but tens of thousands of netizens have this idea, which cannot be ignored by him at will.

"The audience doesn't think the two of them are like a couple, it's a subjective matter. For subjective issues, we must not use a tactful approach, but be crude and direct. It is necessary for the audience to directly accept the setting that the two of them are a couple. The assistant director was full of ruthlessness next to him: "As long as the audience accepts the setting that they are a couple, their subjective attitude will change a lot." ”

"It's light, and you give me a rough one. Yoo Jung-jun said disdainfully.

directly stirred up the scandal, just said that the two of them fell in love because of the play, and released a sneak photo of the two of them kissing. The assistant director said bluntly.

"Be specific. Yoo Jung-jun showed an interested expression.

"We can shoot a kiss scene when we're out on location, don't wear costumes on costumes, let the two of them wear regular clothes as much as possible, and avoid the camera next to us when we can't shoot on our phones. ”

"S.M Company will not agree, they clearly wrote in Lin Yuna's contract, and the crew is not allowed to use Lin Yuner to promote scandals. The scandal will devalue the idol, and S.M will not agree to it because of the poor ratings of the TV series. Even if the ratings of the TV series are not good, Lin Yuner will have no dramas to receive for three years. Yoo Jung-jun shook his head, and he could instantly clear the vein.

For S.M Company, actor Lin Yuna is naturally not as good as idol Yuna, and the income is more than the second floor of the basement of the eighteen-story hell and the other on the roof of a skyscraper in the thirty-third day.

"No, this scandal has nothing to do with our crew, we are filming, but there is an illegitimate meal sneaking into the location scene. And we will edit these scenes into seven episodes and eight episodes, but we will shoot them more than half a month in advance. The assistant director smiled.

"There is no point in playing with words. Let's not say that the reason of 'filming the fourth episode and filming the eighth episode kiss scene at the same time' is not tenable at all, he Li Xiuman himself is an expert in playing with words. If you look at the name of his company, it is obvious that he likes to beat people, but he can pull out such a high-sounding reason as the 'Star Museum'. The director looked disdainful. No matter how high the status of this singer is, he is still just a singer in the end.

"What then?" the assistant director looked at Yoo Jung-joon, and by looking at his expression, he knew that he already had a way in his heart.

"Hehe, let Kim Tae-ho and Lim Yoon-a go to "My Knot". Yoo Jung-jun looked confident.

"My Knot?"

"Yes, I knot. Isn't the audience disgusted with the mismatch? Then let's let the two of them play husband and wife directly, at least five intimate scenes in one episode, and they also have to say a word of love from time to time. I don't believe it, Kim Tae-ho has been in France for more than 20 years, and he can't even handle a 20-year-old yellow-haired girl like Lin Yuna?" Liu Zhengjun laughed: "When the two of them really become a couple, will there be people shouting that they don't match under the TV series?"

"Didn't you say that S.M wouldn't agree?" the assistant director wondered.

"The casting of this variety show has nothing to do with our crew, and he S.M is dissatisfied and can't spread it on our heads. ”

"Then they S.M agreed to combine the façade to make pink with other men in "My Knot"?"

"In Girls' Generation, Kim Taeyeon is not much less popular than Lim Yoon-a, but isn't she still going? ”

"Isn't Kim Taeyeon's partner a funny artist? The image doesn't match at all, the audience knows it's fake, and the fans won't take it to heart. Kim Tae-ho and Yoona can't, they don't have this kind of congenital convenience. ”

"It doesn't matter, the stars on "My Knot" were all fake at the beginning, and the audience knew this. And don't the viewers of our TV series also think that the two of them are not compatible? No problem. And if fans think that if they match it, won't the biggest problem of our TV series be solved?" Liu Zhengjun smiled brightly.

"Then "My Knot" will agree to the two of them on the show?"

"How much audience will Kim Tae-ho and Lim Yoon-a bring to "I Knot"? How many regular viewers will Kim Tae-ho's French romance attract to a show like "My Knot"? He, Park Chang-hoon, the chief director, can't count this account? Besides, it is not his turn to make a decision, and the station has already said that as long as there is a way to turn "The Beggar into a Prince" into a profit, I will give the green light to all departments with a report. ”

S.M., Taili, "My Knot", Audience...... So what if Kim Tae-ho doesn't agree?" the assistant director pinched his fingers and finally found the last obstacle.

"It's very simple, just tell Kim Tae-ho that filming "My Knot" is fun. According to Park Cheol-so's senior, Kim Tae-ho is very fond of trying new and interesting things. This is true for playing guitar, and even more so for practicing professional wrestling. ”

"That's it?" said the assistant director's face was full of suspicion.

"Of course, filming variety shows is really fun, especially variety shows like "My Knot". What's more, didn't he Kim Tae-ho's ideal World Cup choose Yoona as the champion? Isn't it good to be on "My Knot" with Lim Yoon-a?"

"Forehead ......"

Yoo Jung-joon had just typed the report here, and "I Knot" over there immediately sent three ways to Jung Hyung-don's agency, S.M, and Park Cheol-so's company, where Tae-ho's studio was attached.

The reason why the crew of "My Knot" is so fast is entirely because just now, D Society broke the news that Jung Hyung-dun and the SBS variety show writer are in love.

filming an imaginary marriage show, but having a girlfriend in private, naturally doesn't make sense, the crew of "I Knot" has decided to let the "Fudge Pudding" couple finish it immediately and get off the car quickly. It happened that the stage issued a document and asked Kim Tae-ho and Yuna to partner in the role, so he sent an extra team of people to inform him.

"What?" Kim Tae-ho raised his eyebrows: ""We're Married"? What kind of variety show is this...... Forehead...... Oh...... This one...... Okay, I'll take it, isn't it just acting, okay. ”

After hanging up the phone, Kim Tae-ho remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to ask the woman's information, and he didn't even have a name.

Tae-ho shook his head and continued to put on makeup.
