Chapter 429: Crisis
No wonder Liu Haozhen will urgently summon Zhang Che, mainly because the ratings of "Youth Undefeated" have been a bit miserable recently, the highest 15% before, and "Youth Undefeated", which hovered in double digits all year round, has recently slipped to single digits, and the ratings after the new members join are basically 10%, hovering between 8%-9% all year round.

It stands to reason that Zhang Che should be the most anxious about this matter, after all, it is a variety show produced by their company, but Zhang Che is not in a hurry, but Liu Haozhen is more anxious. In a sense, this show is also Liu Haozhen's "famous work". The first time he directed a variety show, on the sub-station, it was still a period of time that was not favored on Friday night, creating double-digit ratings, which itself is also an affirmation of his directing ability, but now this "affirmation" has encountered some crises.
In fact, in all fairness, the current ratings are still a good result for the sub-station's Friday time slot, but those who are used to eating shark fin occasionally eat salted fish is called a spice, and then who can stand eating salted fish every day.
Liu Haozhen also thought about his own methods, such as whether to invite guests, whether to invite the previous members back to make cameos, and even whether to change the MC, etc., but these need to be decided after consultation with Zhang Che.
So when Zhang Che arrived in Hongchuan, while G7 was changing clothes and preparing for shooting, Liu Haozhen pulled Zhang Che for a small meeting.
"You know the ratings thing, right?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Don't you have any ideas?"
"No, it's a little worse than before, but isn't it all within our expectations?"
"It's been three issues in a row, except for the one that planted rice and barely reached 10%, the other two phases were 8.7% and 9.1%, and the one that was broadcast this week didn't have any explosions, and it was estimated that it was about the same. ”
"Oh, KBS has an opinion?"
"Uh...... Not really!"
"So, although our show is broadcast on the platform of KBS, the main risk is also borne by me, so don't be too anxious!"
"You... There's already a way!"
"No, if the ratings are not good, it will be stopped, what is there to hesitate about. ”
“...... You're talking about it!"
"Otherwise, although I also do shows, in the final analysis, I still have to have income and profits, otherwise I will do it with money?"
"Don't you want to save it?"
"I'm not as rich as KBS, so if it's above 7%, I can do whatever you want, and if it's below 7%, I'll think about it. ”
"I see! I'd like to try my best!"
"It's okay, you're a PD, listen to you!"
The above is the content of Zhang Che and Liu Haozhen's short meeting, and they went to their respective jobs after the meeting.
Liu Haozhen got all the PD rights, and Zhang Che was like an ordinary producer, only giving indicators, and no longer interfering in the filming of the show, including whether to make personnel adjustments and so on.
Neither of them mentioned the form of the program, although both of them knew that the form of the program was the biggest problem, with the decline in freshness and the appeal of members, the decline in ratings was inevitable, but because of the copyright problem, Liu Haozhen was not easy to say, and Zhang Che didn't want to say it, so both of them deliberately ignored it. This is what Zhang Che said, "within the expected range".
However, Liu Haozhen wants to change, and without changing the form of the program, he can only change the content of the program, and Zhang Che also gave Liu Haozhen the greatest right, and also wanted to see if Liu Haozhen could create a miracle.
"Undefeated Youth" Up to now, with idol as the highlight, the freshness of working in the countryside has passed, and it has experienced the replacement of personnel, and it is certain that the appeal is not as good as before, plus there is nothing in the idol village from the beginning, and now the house is also decent, there is a cowshed, a chicken coop, a field of its own, and even the puppies have grown up a lot, unless a new group of people is replaced and a new place to start over, Zhang Che really can't think of any possibility to recover the ratings, so Liu Haozhen can do it if he wants to.
In the future filming, Zhang Che will still come, and he will still do his job as a writer, but for the ratings, Zhang Che really doesn't think there is any way, if it weren't for Liu Haozhen's request, he would have thought about finding a suitable time, such as when the rice harvest is over.
The day's shooting was still in accordance with the original plan, no matter how powerful Liu Haozhen was, it was impossible to change the content in the current period, and even it was unrealistic to change the content in the short term, so it was still that rhythm, it was still the same form of shooting, and it ended up shooting in the evening.
Zhang Che still rubbed the car back, but this time it was not Hyo-min's car, but Park Ji-young's car, because Park Ji-young rarely took the initiative to find Jang Che and said that there were some things to ask him for help.
"Have you watched our new show?"
In the car, Park Ji-young asked casually.
"What's the new show?ah, oh, watched!" Zhang Che didn't react at first, but then remembered that he was talking about SBS's "Heroes and Heroes".
In fact, when "Heroes and Heroes" premiered, Zhang Chezheng was in Thailand with T-ara, and he didn't watch the premiere at all. However, as one of the most familiar shows in his previous life, he can now recite what he filmed in the previous episodes, and he said that he had watched it.
"So, how am I doing?" Park Ji-young asked suspiciously, not the first day he met Jang Cheol.
"It's decent! The little thing you and Xu Renying are estimated to be on the search list, although it's not very beneficial to you!" Zhang Che recalled and said.
In addition to the warehouse, the biggest attraction of the premiere is estimated to be the dispute between Seo In-young and Park Ji-young, one is old but debuted late, the other debuts early but is young, but Park Ji-young's image has always been strong, and Seo In-young is also a strong woman's image, so there are still highlights in the conflict.
But in fact, this is very unfavorable to Park Ji-young, because no matter how you say that filming a show is also a workplace, the rules of the workplace are still based on the time of debut, even if you are in your 50s, you are a junior when you debut late, not to mention that the age gap between them is not much.
"That's right, that senior is really aggressive, I didn't say anything, and the result was quite a storm!" Park Ji-young nodded and said with palpitations.
"Xu Renying's image is like that, if she retreats, there will be a problem, don't worry too much, there are still the program team and Lu Shiyan's predecessors, they will give you a round back, otherwise this show is really not easy to position, the debut age is to exclude Lu Shiyan's predecessors, who can compare with the real sister, she is the same age as you. Zhang Che said comfortingly.
"I'm much more relieved when you say that, so do I need to be soft next time I shoot?" asked Park Ji-young.
"Look at your company's image arrangement for you, but the program team estimates that it is unlikely that you will be reconciled from the contradictions of the program, but you can say hello to Xu Renying in private, although I don't know this very well, but I shouldn't be a cautious person. Zhang Che said.
"Well, I know how to do it, thank you!" Park Ji-young thanked Jang Che with relief.
Seriously, Park Ji-young is really a little uncomfortable these days because of this matter, she is a very atmospheric person, and she didn't check what she said that day, and she just said it, she didn't think too much, but the follow-up reaction was very unfavorable to her.
She asked the company, but the company seemed to be more concerned about the popularity that had risen because of this matter, and she didn't think about her thoughts at all, and she didn't want to ask the program team, as for Xu Renying, she didn't even have a phone number, so she could only ask Zhang Che.
Unexpectedly, without waiting for her to exit, Zhang Che automatically told himself the analysis and even the solution to the incident, should he say that he was lucky or that damn "tacit understanding" that was about to be forgotten?
Thinking of that "tacit understanding", Park Ji-young subconsciously suppressed this thought, and then changed the topic and asked: "What about Xinhui, Xinhui also asked you how she is doing!"
Zhang Che was dumbfounded by this question.
Where does he know where to go, he saw Nicole's clumsy pronunciation performance in his last life, where does he know what Park Shin Hye is doing in this life, she can't understand Korean either, right?
"Well, that's it!" Zhang Che said vaguely.
Park Ji-young's original heart became suspicious again, you must know that in the first broadcast, Shin-hye can be said to be full of weight, after all, the popularity of the wheel, it is also a higher level for Seo In-young and Park Shin-hye, how can it be possible not to take the two of them as the "protagonists".
However, why does Zhang Che think that Xiao Xinhui's performance is average, she watched the premiere, and even she has to admit that Xiao Xinhui has done quite well, at least compared to her.
So, why does Zhang Che still feel average about such a performance? Hasn't he actually watched the premiere, so how does he know his performance?
I can't think deeply about this question, why does it feel that Jang Che has not seen Park Shin Hye's clip but is so familiar with his own clip, no matter how I think about it, so Park Ji Young turned his head almost in embarrassment, blushed suspiciously and said, "Well, I will tell Shin Hye!"
Jang Che always felt that there was something wrong with Park Ji-young, but he couldn't say it, and wondered if he should go back and make up for the class again and take a good look at their premiere?
Because of this inappropriate answer, Park Ji-young had no interest in chatting, turned his head and lay on the seat and pretended to sleep, Zhang Che didn't bother when he saw it, but he just chatted with Park Ji-young's agent softly, and then closed his eyes and rested.
The car drove back to Seoul so quietly.
The next day, Jang Cheol was dragged off the bed by the angry Park Shin Hye, and of course, he was followed by a snickering little dinosaur and a dumbfounded little IU.
