Chapter 781: The premiere breaks 20!
After more than half a month of intense editing, "A Gentleman's Character" has finally been rough-cut, and the first 5 or 6 episodes have all been fine-cut, and SBS has also arranged for internal staff to conduct a small 'premiere'.
As a result, more than 95% of the employees gave an A-level evaluation of the four grades of ABCD, saying that the drama was very interesting and not superficial, and the remaining five percent were filled in the S-level that was not on the card!
Although this result is very satisfactory, it is clear that as an SBS employee, this kind of evaluation itself is subjective and cannot be done strictly speaking.
But it doesn't matter, this little event is a product of boredom, and it is enough to have some psychological comfort.
So, after the bombardment of publicity, the much-anticipated "Gentleman's Character" by countless viewers and fans finally met with everyone, and it immediately ignited the resonance of audiences over 30 and under 50!
Laughing at the same time, it can bring warmth and memories, as well as those troubles in the past, the stupid things I did when I was young and frivolous...
And what is surprising is that when countless viewers leave messages on the Internet after watching, they all express their great expectations for the small stories before the start of each episode of the main drama, and some people even directly say that the beginning part is more interesting than the main drama, and they seem to be able to feel his fanaticism through the computer.
Such an interesting story that makes people laugh and cry really makes the production team speechless, and I don't know whether to be happy or depressed.
And aside from the fascinating plot that will smile every few minutes, while watching the TV series seriously, checking the number of stars appearing in the camera with your fingers is also one of the hobbies of the majority of viewers and fans!
After all, this drama is a real fire before it is broadcast, and almost every character in the play is played by everyone who is familiar with the existence that can scream out the name, how can such a 'divine drama' not watch it!
In addition, there are a large number of celebrity cameos, Girls' Generation, Tara, IU, Ailee, Yoo Jae-seok... And so on and so forth!
Although most of the shots of these people are cut for a few seconds because of the avoidance of making the picture look very scattered and allowing the audience to play out of the plot, even if it is a flash, it will be found by the sharp-eyed audience, and then excitedly sorted out into information and uploaded to the Internet, accepting the worship of those viewers who didn't see it!
Coupled with Kim Jong-kwon, who naturally has its own topicality, and the first TV drama cooperation of the Trojan couple, Zhao Yincheng, who has just returned from the army, was criticized as Lee Hyo-ri, who is not suitable for acting at all...
There are so many natural contradictions, so that once this drama is broadcast, it seems to have ignited the war in the entire entertainment industry in an instant, praise, belittlement, abuse, refutation, support, all kinds of voices have come out, as if this 2012 has only one voice of "Gentleman's Character" from the beginning!
With a super luxurious performance lineup + investment at all costs + interesting and excellent script + superb acting skills + experienced crew + natural topic contradictions, coupled with the expectations of countless audiences and fans, it is natural that the direct ratings of this "Gentleman's Character" will explode!
After just two days of broadcasting, the national ratings increased from 22% of the first episode to 26% of the second episode, and the ratings in the Seoul area broke through the 33% threshold at the end of the second episode, ranking first among all programs in the same period!
Such an almost unnatural rating made the SBS drama department, which was somewhat worried, directly put down the stone in his heart, and cheered excitedly when he got the ratings report.
You must know that in this period, whether it is any program, whether it is a TV series or a variety show, the ratings have dropped a lot, and if the ratings of a program exceed 20%, it can almost be regarded as the trump card program of the TV station, you can imagine how fierce the ratings competition is now!
Because there are more choices now, the vision is higher, and the audience has become more picky.
So the previous ratings miracles have become a pity that they can no longer be realized, which is why Kim Jong Kwon will seem so "confident" this time, just to ensure an average rating of at least 30%.
The 30% rating has now become a luxury, for example, RM, which is a mess overseas, and the current ratings are just over 20, and the occasional outbreak can break through to the point of 25, which is still because of the existence of Kim Jong Kwon, a ratings guarantee.
Another example is the tail spanning 10 years, "The Secret Garden" at the beginning of 11 years, Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won almost all the awards that could be won that year with this drama, so that Kim Jong Kwon did not receive any money, of course, this has a lot to do with the small actions behind CJ, otherwise it would be at least 55 open.
And even the super popular "Secret Garden", its highest rating is only 35.2% of the finale, which is still a certain distance from breaking 4.
So just looking at the current results, "A Gentleman's Character" can already be determined to be a great success, as for how many ratings will be in the end and how many breakthroughs can be made, it is still unknown.
On the day I got the ratings report, all the employees of the SBS drama department happily went to dinner together.
Of course, before leaving, they did not forget to tell the good news to Kim Jong-kwan and other leading actors, and then they also solemnly posted the good news on the official website, which triggered a greater upsurge of discussion.
After all, this is a 'divine drama' that broke 2 at the beginning, which made many viewers who were originally not interested in this kind of drama curiously watched the replay, and then went out of control, contributing to the next ratings.
When Kim Jong Kwon received this good news call, he was watching TV with Taeyeon on the sofa at home, an otaku girl with a lazy cancer patient, such a combination really saves time and effort, you don't have to think hard about where to play every day, just stay at home and watch TV and play games with peace of mind, life is really not too decadent!
When Taeyeon heard the news he relayed, she directly fell on him with excitement, even if she was ignorant, she knew what kind of concept it was to have more than 20% ratings in the first two episodes, not to mention that this was a drama that she personally participated in filming, which was even more significant!
Taeyeon, who was extremely excited about this, began to call the members one by one to tell them the good news, until she was angry and complained, and then she threw down her phone with some unhappiness.
