Chapter 268 Interlude
Just when everyone thought that Jin Zhongming was going to heaven, a very inopportune thing suddenly appeared and seriously hit the confidence of the whole crew. That is, the ratings of the 17th and 8th episodes of the TV series that were broadcast afterwards suffered considerable fluctuations, and the national AGB data only rose by 0.8, making the 18th episode only come to 38.2%. At the same time, what is even more worrying is that TNS's ratings, which are more representative of the number of new viewers, have even suffered negative growth.
Then the question arises, if a 28-episode TV series wants to win 50% of the ratings, if the following episodes 19 and 20 can't successfully break through 40%, why do you think that the remaining eight episodes will make a 10% jump? But how easy is 40%? These data are indeed clearly placed there, TNS and AGB have no reason to cheat, right? What's more, the data of these two companies has a faint sense of mutual proof.
As a result, the entertainment media, which has always turned its face like a flip book, immediately became ambiguous, and the previous sensual touting disappeared without a trace in an instant, and some people have quietly changed their words, although they are still praising it, but they are unwilling to compare "My Name is Jin Sanshun" with this TV series. Even some media have taken great pains to analyze the failure of these two episodes, and they don't know where they got the courage.
"Where's Chaewon?" asked Kim Jong-ming on the set, posing with a poker face and carrying a newspaper. "Brother Xiubin, have you seen Caiyuan?"
"It seems that I went to the villa, it should be on the roof, right?" Pei Xiubin, who was about to go to dinner, responded, and seemed to want to say something to Jin Zhongming, but in the end he held back.
Kim Jong-ming's eyelids drooped, pretending not to see Bae Xiubin's unnatural reaction, and then continued to walk towards the villa that played the protagonist Xian Yuhuan's house with a black face.
Moon Chae-won is the actor of Yoo Seung-mi, the second female lead in this play. One of the four protagonists, the role is very heavy. However, the roles of the four protagonists are arranged and focused on in the TV series according to stages, for example, the female number one Gao Yinxing has the most, and then the second male Park Junshi and the male one Xian Yuhuan broke out together, and then it was Yoo Seung-mi's turn to play the role.
But. The problem is that when the first three people played, the ratings were rising steadily, but when it was her turn to play Liu Shengmei to become the key to the plot, the ratings were like this, which really made Wen Caiyuan a little unacceptable.
That's why she didn't go to eat at noon, but ran to the roof to secretly wipe her tears.
"What do you think?" a voice suddenly rang out next to him.
"Look, what are you looking at?" Moon Chae-won was startled, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that it was Kim Jong-ming.
However, she immediately became even more uncomfortable, because the other party handed her a newspaper, and the entertainment section on it prominently wrote a long drama review for herself. And she had already read this newspaper. I know what this is about.
"This says that although your acting skills are good, because most of the scenes need to be partnered with Kim Mi-sook's seniors, it has become a black hole in acting skills against the backdrop of the other party's excellent performance. Jin Zhongming sat down and pointed to a few subheadings and read a few words to the other party. At the same time, Kim Jong-myung, Han Hyo-joo, and Bae so-bin all showed their own special charm in the play, and the characters created by the three of them were distinctive, flesh and blood, which made the featureless Moon Chae-won even more passive...... What do you think of it?"
"I don't know. Wen Caiyuan said that tears flowed, and I don't know if it's true or not.
"Why? I think they have a point. Jin Zhongming put down the newspaper and calmly explained his opinion. "At least there is nothing wrong with these two items. ”
Moon Chae-won really cried. She felt that even if Wen Genying could fly over to help her, it would be useless, and today she designated to be hung up and beaten as a scapegoat by this drama bully.
"But, ah, Caiyuan. Jin Zhongming glanced at the sun above his head irritably. "With Kim Mi-sook's predecessor in this state now. To put it mildly, Yoo Ji-in's predecessor won the Baeksang Actress and Daejong's Best Supporting Actress in the 70s, and she was terrified when she played with Kim Mi-sook's senior, who would blame you for this?"
Yoo Ji-in, the actor of Xian Yuhuan's mother in the play, was originally invited by Kim Mi-sook to come over together. But her decent-performing performance really can't be compared with the explosive Kim Mi-sook this time.
Wen Caiyuan's expression became strange, it turned out that this drama bully didn't seem to be looking for himself to blame, but to comfort himself.
"And the lottery yuan. Jin Zhongming continued. "Your character is a girl who puts everything on Xian Yuhuan, in fact, there are no too big and too distinctive features to be the characteristics of this character, and the other party is not accusing you of saying this. On the contrary, I feel that it is a compliment to you. ”
Wen Caiyuan was completely relieved, but she still had some knots: "Then why are the ratings ......?"
"It's none of our business. Jin Zhongming rubbed the corners of his sour eyes. "I said a long time ago, this drama is mine, everyone has a share in winning, and it's mine to lose it, but are you still crying here and crying, do you want to do it?"
"I didn't make a fuss......"
"Why don't you go to a secluded place to cry if you don't make a fuss?" Jin Zhongming didn't save face for the other party at all. "What does it mean to sit on the roof of the building so that the whole crew can see it clearly?
Wen Caiyuan stopped crying this time, but his face was simply red.
"You remembered it for me. Jin Zhongming still has the same poker face, and his tone is similar from beginning to end, but the first few words and the last few words are completely different from the feeling in Wen Caiyuan's ears. "If you have any ideas or grievances, tell me directly, don't play tricks anymore, the shooting time is actually running out, but if you dare to have a next time, Gen Ying can't save you!"
"Yes. ”
"Then go back to dinner. Jin Zhongming completely pulled down his face. "Also, ask your agent and assistant not to ask where you are at the lunch stall, I get upset when I see it. ”
Moon Chae-won immediately got up and ran downstairs.
This is the reality, when things are going well, everyone will help you, and if you encounter a little twist and turn, all kinds of magical people and things can jump out. forced Kim Jong-ming to pinch his nose and put out fires everywhere on the small set! No, he just dealt with Kim Yong-sub in the morning, and in the morning he also took away two perfunctory tricks in acting, and at noon, when he wanted to get a boxed lunch, he could meet Moon Chae-won's agent and assistant pretending to find someone.
Looking for someone, looking for your sister! Lao Tzu will be on the set in South Korea for ten years in two months, what haven't you seen?
After calming down, Jin Zhongming went back to eat with peace of mind.
"That Zhong Ming. Aren't you worried at all?" As soon as she ate two bites, Han Xiaozhu came over with a lunch box.
"Don't really worry. Jin Zhongming weakly put down the braised pork in his hand, the image of his character is the kind that wants to be fleshy, so he has been eating this kind of thing. "Next week's ratings will be back to normal, you see!"
"But why?" Han Hyo-joo asked anxiously as she put down her lunch box and rubbed her hands. "Okay, why is this all of a sudden? ”
"Ah~!" Jin Zhongming groaned helplessly, and then glanced around the studio of those who had also stopped eating. "Originally, I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid that any of you would have a special political stance and end up getting distracted. Actually, although the increase in ratings on the two episodes in the middle of the month has passed, a closer look shows that the increase at that time has already decreased. In other words, the impact of our TV series this time was something that happened at the beginning of this month. ”
"You mean Roh Moo-hyun...... What about the former president?" Bae Xiubin was older after all, and immediately reacted. "But didn't that happen last month? and then there was a state funeral right away, and our TV show wasn't affected at the time. ”
"It was because there was a state funeral immediately. Jin Zhongming simply put down his chopsticks this time. "The deceased is the greatest, and the two parties of the government and the opposition, the two factions of the whole country and the people are honestly doing funerals. Now that the funeral is over, do you think that with Roh Moo-hyun's prestige in the Dish Cooking faction, the opposition parties will be over?"
"Definitely. Park Wonjong also agreed with this statement. "I feel like a lot of political news has been popping up since June, but we and Bong Joon-ho's work have managed to cover it up. That's what I said. You mean, the evening news of KBS and MBC?"
"That's right. Specifically, MBC's Evening News. Jin Zhongming nodded. "I went to look at the data, and the news, which used to be watched by only a few middle-aged and elderly people who liked political issues, has recently doubled its ratings, and they are competing with us for viewers. ”
"Then are we going to suffer from the pond fish?" Pei Xiubin asked a little unwillingly.
"I mean, don't we have to wait for the last month. Han Hyo-joo also said what she thought. "From now on, everyone will start the promotion, anyway, we have a lot of episodes, and we won't delay the filming no matter what. ”
"No, I can't. Jin Zhongming vetoed it. "The original plan remained unchanged, and the shooting was completed by the end of June. In July, I didn't have any burden and went straight to the final publicity sprint. ”
"But what if that group of people who play politics don't stop?" Even Chen He couldn't bear it anymore. "We can't ruin a once-in-a-lifetime chance for them to mess around, right?"
"No, it won't. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "This will be the end of this week, and our 20th episode is destined to explode. ”
"Why?" Han Hyo-joo asked blankly, she didn't understand where Kim Jong-ming got this confidence.
"The day after tomorrow is the last day of the government review period. Kim Jong-ming explained after picking up the lunch box again. "For the opposition parties in a state of mourning, the opportunity is just these last few days. ”
"But?" asked Park Yuanzong, who couldn't hold back his meaning, lowered his voice. "But as soon as the review period ended. Won't President Lee Myung-bak look for trouble in the other way? His kind of cautious eye is known to all South Korea. ”
"You think too highly of him. Jin Zhongming's fierce answer made everyone in the studio a little confused. "What do you think he thinks of President Roh Moo-hyun's death? Would he have thought that an almost routine retaliatory review would elicit such a violent reaction from the other side? Is it okay that he is actually hurting the death of a fox now? I guess our president can't sleep at night, where did he get the courage to take revenge on the opposition parties? Yes! That is not now, nor will it be his instructions. ”
Speaking of this, Jin Zhongming found that he seemed to be a little angry, and in the end he didn't control his mouth, so he immediately made a summary conclusion: "Look at it, he has designated to be a shrinking turtle, and even the review of Park Yuanci's case has been stopped, how can he make trouble again." In short, this matter is just a small storm for our TV series, eat seriously and film well, that's fine, why do you care so much?"
Everyone wanted to speak and stopped, but Jin Zhongming's authority in the crew was unshakable, and they didn't dare to say anything with the other party's posture of burning three times in one sentence, so they had to wait for the arrival of episode 20 according to the other party's intentions.
However, as Kim Jong-myung said, the political turmoil ended after a few days in the form of an attack by the opposition party and a defense by the Grand National Party, because the Grand National Party really only defended and did not attack, and they seemed to have forgotten about it after surviving the government review period in the National Assembly.
And at the end of June, with the end of the 20th episode of "Splendid Legacy", everything verified Kim Jong-ming's judgment. In this episode, this TV series not only successfully crossed the 40% mark, but even simply came to the point of 42.4%. Among them, the national data of TNS has actually reached 44.1 percent! The jump is as high as nearly 8 percent! This data in turn proves that Jin Zhongming's explanation of the situation shows that the group of people was indeed only temporarily attracted by political news before. And now, they're back.
Of course, it's not just the audience who comes back, because as soon as the audience comes back, everything will come back. As the saying goes, the heavens and the earth are all together, and by this time all the negative statements and negative thoughts have disappeared, and everyone is completely correct and ready to witness the miracle in July. And it was in this state that on the last day of June, with the excitement of the crew, all 28 episodes of the TV series were successfully filmed.
Subsequently, according to Jin Zhongming's arrangement, all the crew members left their burdens behind and devoted themselves to the promotion of the last few episodes. As for SBS itself, it goes without saying that this huge media machine, one of the three largest television stations in South Korea, is also at full speed ready to gamble everything. After all, since "Savage Age" in 02, this TV station has been almost crushed by the other two TV stations in the field of Korean dramas, which can best represent the level of TV stations!
It was in such a context that one day in early July, Kim Jong-ming once again came to "The Birth of a Family", the trump card of SBS TV, in the weekend variety show "The Birth of a Family", accompanied by Bae so-bin, Han Hyo-joo, and Moon Chae-won.
In view of the fact that this issue of "The Birth of a Family" will be broadcast before the finale of "Splendid Legacy", these four protagonists naturally have to do their best.

Ladies and gentlemen, I can't learn to be so crazy yesterday, I slept until six o'clock in the evening yesterday, and then ate some food, and came back to write but didn't write, and after a while in the group of chickens, I was ready to move the keyboard seriously, but I fell asleep on the keyboard when I came up, and I didn't start coding until half past seven in the morning.
