Chapter 906: Failure and Success

May 26, 2012 is a very ordinary Saturday, but it is a day that countless Korean drama fans have been waiting for, because it is the day of the premiere of "A Gentleman's Character", think about the luxurious cast, it is really exciting to think about

And different from the nervousness of the audience, the few actors who are the parties have seen a lot of wind and waves, and they don't have any special feelings, they just finished it, which can be regarded as a celebration, but also a practice for Li Shenglin to win glory for the country, everyone decided to find a place to get together, and watch TV together by the way, guess the ratings are also good

And then what

Li Shenglin hesitated for a moment, but still walked in front of Xiao Jing, "Go and say hello to your agent, let's go have a meal together"

After listening to Li Shenglin's words, Xiao Jing controlled and controlled, and finally controlled it, after all, it was said that everyone was eating together, but in fact, it was not the leading actors, directors and screenwriters, and everyone else was also self-aware, so it was better not to join in the fun

So it's time to show the results of this period of practice, well, first, be reserved, second, speak quietly, and then smile, not laugh, and finally tilt your head a little bit, and squint your eyes a little bit

OK, the state has been found, "No need uncle, you can go, I won't bother, I hope you have a good time"

Eh, what is this girl doing, Li Shenglin shuddered unconsciously, it was so infiltrating, especially when the other party said this kind of thing with a look that seemed to be smiling and his eyes contained murderous aura, it was really awkward

But Xiao Jing didn't know what Li Shenglin thought. Still secretly proud, do you want to show off with the stinky dinosaur, the little girl thought about it, forget it, as long as you master it yourself

"Come on, come on, guess the ratings, there is no reward if you win, if you lose, you can order a glass of wine by mistake, no one can be ambiguous"

Such occasions. That is, old age. And Kim so-ro, who is more outfielded, is suitable for bringing rhythm

Speaking of ratings, everyone present thinks that this time it must be a national-level TV series, after all, everyone is very confident in each other's popularity and acting skills. But what about the premiere. It's really hard to guess. And one order a glass of wine, except for Kim Ha Na and Kim Eun Sook, screenwriters use small cups, everyone else is a big cup

Come and think about it. Everyone guessed that it was around 30%, which was not much worse, and then it was

When the first episode ended, after director Shin Woo-cheol received the ratings statistics, no one was punished for drinking, but involuntarily poured himself a few glasses

Why?

In addition to rushing to 28% at the beginning, with the broadcast of the TV series, the ratings actually plummeted, and finally barely maintained the level of 21%.

Speaking of which, this number is really not low, but for these people here, this is the failure of Hongguoguo, not to mention, Li Shenglin has just finished a 66% TV series, this gap is too big

The director and screenwriter are no worse than the previous ones, the script is also very good, and the cast is even stronger I don't know how many times, why is there such a big gap?

Could it be that Li Shenglin is not the protagonist?

Of course, this is not the case

In fact, the reason why the ratings are not very strong is still related to the script, and these leading actors have already passed the stage of filming for ratings, and they only look at the preferences and quality of the script and whether there is room for acting skills, which ignores the audience of the script

You know, in South Korea, the dominance of the remote control is in the hands of housewives or children, although they are generally the heads of the family, but men will still be humble at this time, and coincidentally, "The Character of a Gentleman" is a middle-aged man's play, although the leading actors are very powerful, but for housewives and young people, it is really a bit of a sense of substitution

What's more, as a country with high work pressure, there are a few middle-aged men who have the conditions to live as chic as the protagonists in the play, but if you watch the TV series, you will have a deep sense of frustration

But

As the TV series continues to be broadcast, although the ratings have not risen significantly, they are also growing slowly, maybe 30% still has a chance, but what does not match the ratings is the huge topic and excellent word-of-mouth

In fact, if you remove most of the two main viewing groups of housewives and young people, the drama "Gentleman's Character" really can't even achieve 20% of the ratings, but this TV series has attracted a lot of people who don't usually watch TV dramas, for example, white-collar workers in large companies, middle-aged people with successful careers, and some elite students

Maybe this drama doesn't have a bloody plot that ordinary people like, and the overly chic middle-aged life makes everyone have no sense of substitution, but for some social elites, this is life, this is what a TV series should look like, people can have romance when they are middle-aged, just don't be so, isn't it good to be plain and indifferent, and

Any popular TV series, eh, removing costume dramas, will lead a fashion trend, "Gentleman's Character" is no exception, but it is not ordinary people who lead, but elites, the protagonists' luxurious and restrained costumes they like, and the modern decoration of their residence is also worth learning from, after all, the resplendent appearance in ordinary Korean dramas really makes these people unbearable, it is simply vulgar

Even during this time, LG mobile phones, as sponsors, have actually surpassed Samsung, the boss of South Korea

Perhaps, the so-called elites really only account for a small part of the population, but their wealth and power account for more, so this TV series that they have labeled as tasteful is really a success

Maybe the impact on Zhang Dongjian and Li Shenglin is not obvious, but it can be said that even Ha Jung-woo and Kim Ha-na have benefited a lot, although the performance fee of everyone in this drama is the price of cabbage, but now those luxury jewelry endorsement contracts that are flocking to it are a huge amount of money, after all

It's all luxury, so it's embarrassing to give a low endorsement fee

Even the minor supporting roles of Xiao Jing can be said to have made a lot of money, although there are no real big brands looking for them, but there are still some high-grade commodity advertisements, which is really big for their value and image to promote

But these effects are to be fermented slowly, when the fourth episode of the TV series is broadcast, looking at the ratings that can break through 25%, Li Shenglin sighed helplessly, "Although it's not a birthday, you should always give me a good mood."

And then

There are still people blocking him (to be continued......
