Chapter 174. Fire and ice!

Meanwhile, South Korea's Seoul S-M Entertainment.

Li Xiuman was lying on the boss's chair, in good spirits, and in front of him was a middle-aged man in a suit and a bow tie.

The middle-aged man has a bald head, thick lips, squinting eyes, and huge nostrils, but he does not look at the slightest sense of incongruity, and his face reveals an indescribable ability. This person is none other than President Kim of SBS TV.

Speaking of President Kim and Lee so-man, they are also old friends in the Korean entertainment industry, the two knew each other when Lee so-man had not established S-M Company, at that time President Kim was just a Kim representative, responsible for the errand business of some TV stations, and greeted people with a smile all year round, and Lee so-man is not the domineering entertainment tyrant, just a slightly famous folk singer, who struggled to get on the stage, which gave this Kim representative a lot of benefits.

Now, the two of them are also mixed up, and what they hold in their hands is no longer cheap yogurt on the street, but high-end red wine.

President Jin knocked on Erlang's leg, shook the red wine glass in his hand and sighed, "Oh, it's not easy to drink such good red wine from you." ”

"If you like, you can come often." Li Xiuman said with a smile.

"Hehe, I want to too, but I've been busy lately."

"Is it because of the TV series?" Li Xiuman asked knowingly.

"Not really." Thinking of this, President Kim felt a headache, his pigtails were grabbed by that damn singer, what should I do?

"I don't quite understand, how can a smart person like you, President Kim, help JYP Company?"

"It's not like I've seen Park Jin-young's face." President Kim prevaricated.

"Huh. President Kim is very humane. ”

"yes, I think too. Hahaha! The two gently touched a glass.

"Butβ€”" Li Xiuman groaned, "It seems that this drama is not very good." Tonight's ratings didn't even reach 10. ”

"Hehe, that's right." President Kim smiled dryly, "But fortunately, we signed a floating share with JYP, and even if the ratings are low, we won't lose much." ”

"That's right--but your TV station has just secured the ratings champion of Shuimu dramas, and now you will let it out immediately, and the impact will be great, right? But I know very well that there is a lot of competition in TV stations right now. Li Xiu said with a deep sense of satisfaction.

President Kim glanced at him, "Chairman Lee." We are also old acquaintances, so you can say anything directly, and you can't make a detour. ”

"It's very simple, cut their TV series in half."

"Impossible!"

"Why?"

"Because ......," President Kim stopped talking.

"President Kim, what's the dilemma for you?" Who is Li Xiuman, as soon as he looks at the other party's expression, he knows that there is a problem.

"This ...... No, how could it be. "President Kim took a sip of red wine.

Li Xiuman smiled, "If there is anything, you can just say it." I'll help you. ”

President Kim: "Not really. Oh yes, I still have something to do, I can't drink with you anymore, I'm sorry. Farewell. After speaking, he put down his wine glass and said a few words of greeting very politely. Only then did he leave.

Looking at his back, Li Xiuman's face gradually became gloomy. Next to him, Director Lin asked in a low voice, "Do you want to investigate?" ”

Li Xiuman shook his head and smiled unruly. "Is this necessary? Even if that drama hadn't been cut in half, it would have been terrible, and it was so embarrassing and conspicuous when it first premiered-"

Chief Lin bowed and was silent.

As soon as Li Xiuman's words came out, it was equivalent to sentencing Yin Tianyou's new film to death, so he inevitably sighed in his heart, what would it be like for a young talent to be hit by failure, is it like he made his own bet that he will never make films again in his life, or will he be in a state of collapse...... Yin Tianyou, how can you turn things around?!

……

A company owned by the king of the Korean Wave, Bae Yong-joon.

As a popular artist under Pei Shuai, his confidant and favorite general, Kim so-hyun is eating ramen in a hurry.

"Brother Yongjun, this ramen is great, why don't you really order it?" Kim so-hyun said as he swallowed the ramen.

Pei Yongjun smiled: "Be careful, don't choke." Well, in fact, I haven't eaten ramen in a long time. ”

"Why? Isn't it delicious? ”

"No, it's because the way you eat ramen is ...... How to put it, it's indecent. You know, I'm going to keep my demeanor at all times. Bae Yong-jun felt that there was nothing to hide in front of Kim so-hyun.

"In fact, when I wasn't famous, I used to stay in those manga houses and eat ramen while reading manga boringly...... But one day I woke up, and I said to myself, Pei Yongjun, do you want to live like this all the time? Are you willing to spend your whole life like this? Do you want to eat only ramen forever? I woke up, and then I knew that my future was to be able to eat steak, eat French food, and eat a lot of delicious food, not just this cheap ramen-" Bae Yong-jun said this, and glanced at Kim so-hyun, who was gobbling up, "So, so-hyun, you also have to find your own way, and don't be tempted by this seemingly fragrant ramen, because there are more delicious foods in front of you-"

I thought that Kim so-hyun would be very teachable, but I didn't expect, "But I love ramen more." ”

Pei Yongjun was directly speechless.

"Xiuxian, you have to be ambitious! Men only become stronger when they are ambitious! Like that FIVE, I saw in his eyes the desire for power and fame! ”

Hearing Bae Yongjun mention Yoon Tianyou, Kim so-hyun's eyes flashed with a gleam, "You mean he's very powerful?" ”

"Isn't it?" Bae Yongjun asked rhetorically.

"But it seems that he is not good for his first TV series."

"Really? I don't think so. ”

"Why?"

"Don't you see that this drama is very popular...... I do TV dramas, and I know very well what is good or bad about a play. Pei Yongjun said with confidence.

Kim so-hyun didn't eat the ramen anymore, "You mean, this drama...... Will it be red? ”

Bae Yongjun nodded, "Of course, this is just my own opinion, but Xiuxian, you have to work hard, now that you have become popular with "DreamHigh", you have to make persistent efforts next, I will give you some good scripts, including movies, you must pay more attention." ”

Kim so-hyun nodded, "I understand, Brother Yongjun." But will Yin Tianyou's new drama really be popular? ”

Pei Yongjun looked at him, "What, jealous?" ”

"Not really, just curious." Kim so-hyun knew that Bae Yong-jun must know some other inside story.

Sure enough, Pei Yongjun spoke, "Speaking of this FIVE, it's really interesting, I even dared to bet with SBS Taidian that the ratings of my newly filmed TV series will definitely exceed 20 points." ”

Kim so-hyun was stunned, "How could it be ......?"

"Because he has faith. Strong confidence. Bae Yongjun said.

"Are you saying that the ratings of this drama will really exceed 20 points?" Kim so-hyun hurriedly retracted his thoughts.

Pei Yongjun: "Just wait and see!" ”

"No way, unless a miracle happens!" Kim so-hyun muttered to himself.

……

As expected, after the premiere of the first episode of "My Love from the Star", major Korean media have reported accordingly on the premiere results.

Among them, the reports of "Korea Entertainment Channel" and "Entertainment Online" are the most representative.

Korean Entertainment Channel――

Big headline: The premiere hit the rocks, and the future ratings are worrying.

Content: The SBS Mizuki drama "My Love from the Star" (aka: "The Man from the Star") starring Yoon Cheon-woo, Song Ji-hyo, Park Ji-yeon, Park Hae-jin, etc., started broadcasting last night, and the first episode of the premiere only received 8.6% of the national ratings, temporarily ranking third in the Mizuki drama.

According to the ratings data released by AGB Nielsen today, the national ratings of the 01st episode of "My Love from the Star", which aired last night, reached 8.6%. It was far lower than the expected 10%, while MBC's "I'm Fascinated for You" in the same class had a national rating of 9.1%, and KBS2's "The Princess's Man" had a national rating of 13.5%, directly becoming Mizuki's No. 1. At the same time, this is also the highest rating in the premiere of the Mizuki drama recently launched by KBS TV, and it can be said that the situation of "My Love from the Star" was not very good at the beginning. I wonder if Episode 2 will be able to reverse this bad momentum?

……

Korea Entertainment Online――

Big title: BS's new Mizuki drama "You from the Stars" has finally started broadcasting, and the ratings of the first episode have started steadily.

Content: A few days ago, according to statistics from an authoritative ratings survey company in South Korea, the national rating of the first episode of the TV series "My Love from the Star" was 8.6%.

Co-starring the well-known singer Yoon Tianyou and the well-known actor Song Ji-hyo, this TV series has become a new star in the Mizuki drama with high popularity. As the successor to the TV series "City Hunter", whether it can create the myth of the highest rating of 18% of the previous work has made Korean audiences look forward to it.

MBC drama "I'm Fascinated by You," which aired at the same time, received a nationwide rating of 9.1%, and KBS drama "The Princess's Man" received an audience rating of 13.5%, temporarily ranking first in the ratings.

"My Love from the Star" tells the story of Do Min-joon (Yoon Cheon-woo), a mysterious man who came to the Joseon Dynasty from an alien planet, who lives in modern times 400 years later, and falls in love with Cheon Song-il (Song Ji-hyo), who is a top national actress.

……

It can be seen from the attitudes of the above two media reports that the mainstream media in South Korea is divided into two sides of the drama, one side is optimistic, and the other is very unoptimistic. While saying that the ratings hit the rocks, he said that he set sail smoothly. It can be said that in terms of ratings, there are two heavens of ice and fire. Who is right has inevitably aroused the curiosity of Korean audiences.

And this drama has also entered the audience's attention more with this contrasting report, and a new ratings battle is about to begin! (To be continued......)
