Chapter 103: The Bitter SBS
Recently, sBs TV has been very hard, how to say it?
From TV dramas to variety shows, the ratings have shown a certain downward trend, the ratings of "X-man" have fallen below 20%, and "Weekend Reversal Drama", which has occupied the first place in the same schedule since its broadcast, has also declined to a certain extent.
As the new Saturday variety show king "Love Letter", with the expiration of the contract of the mythical group, the ratings have also fallen from an average of more than 25% to just over 20%. Although no news broke out, some attentive viewers have discovered that the PD of the variety show "Love Letter" seems to have changed, and it is no longer the original Jung Hyuk-jae.
Not only that, after the expiration of the mythical combination contract, "Love Letter" has undergone a series of revisions, but judging from the ratings, the revision of "Love Letter" this time is not very in line with the audience's wishes, or a few people plus female guests, although "Love Letter" has not been broadcast for half a year, but the audience already feels a little tired.
The ratings declined, and all the staff of the "Love Letter" column group sat together to brainstorm and discuss the issue of revision, after all, the top was also urging tightly, how did the original good Saturday king variety show become this bird as soon as it came into their hands?
Even if it is the new PD of the "Love Letter" program, I haven't been able to think it through.
The ratings of the program plagued the sBs TV Variety Show Bureau, and the TV drama production department was also troubled by the ratings.
Jin Youzhi walked into the elevator with his head down, nodded in front of a few juniors in the elevator who greeted him, and didn't say much, in the past, he would always encourage the juniors of these TV stations and say a few words to them, but these days, he is really not in the mood.
Several TV juniors in the elevator have already arrived on their respective floors, and after saying goodbye to him again, they went to work at their own jobs, and he had to take the elevator to two more floors to meet his big boss Director Liu, who was in charge of the TV series.
The reason, of course, is the recent broadcast of the TV series "Clover" with only single-digit ratings.
"Clover" started from the beginning of the preparation, sBs TV and Lee Hyori's agency have invested a lot of effort, sBs wants to use the Lee Hyori effect to stimulate the ratings of the TV series, after all, this TV series is the opening drama of sBs TV, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Not to mention Lee Hyori's agency, who doesn't want their singers to turn to the road of actors, don't look at the classic song "Ten Minutes", Lee Hyori became a worthy king and phenomenal singer in 2003, even if it spanned 2004 to 2005, as long as it comes to Lee Hyori, the image and the first word that comes to everyone's mind are still 'sexy queen'.
Compared with male singers, female singers have a shorter shelf life, and Lee Hyo-ri, who is twenty-five or six, is now facing the problem of transformation, how to turn and where to turn?
The survival pyramid of the Korean entertainment industry is very strange, movie actors are always at the top level, and then TV drama actors, singers and models form the largest group in the entertainment industry. Lee Hyori can already be said to have reached a height that is difficult for many female singers in the entertainment industry to reach in their lifetime, and the music industry has reached its peak, so it is natural to need transformation.
Naturally, from the singer and actor, sBs TV took a fancy to Lee Hyo-ri's topic, and her agency operated her transformation task, and the two sides hit it off, and the cooperative TV series "Clover" was determined to be on the agenda.
It can be said that "Clover" has attracted the attention of many viewers since the beginning of filming, and sBs TV station also thought that the ratings of the broadcast should be good when they saw the comments of netizens on the Internet, but the reality knocked sBs hard in the mouth.
With a rating of 5%, it can be said that it has created the lowest rating in the history of sBs TV dramas, why is it that such a TV series that gathers Lee Hyo-ri, Yoo Jin and other popular stars at that time has a ratings of only 5% of the pitiful Baba?
Jin Youzhi couldn't figure this out after thinking about it for a long time.
The elevator slowly stopped, and Kim Youzhi came to the door of Director Liu's office with the ratings report and the summary written overnight yesterday in his hand, and after talking to the secretary, he tidied up his collar and walked in slowly.
He had been to Director Liu's office many times before, and he was no stranger to it, but he had never felt his heart beating faster than he did this time, and his heart was even more nervous.
"Director, Minister Kim has arrived."
"Hmm." It seems that Director Liu, who had just finished making the call, raised his hand, put the phone away, and looked directly at Jin Youzhi in front of him, "Come here, tell me what happened to the crew the day before yesterday, right?" ”
Thinking of this, Jin Youzhi felt a headache, and had no choice but to report to Director Liu one by one, as his top boss, Director Liu must have his own news channel, and asked himself, just to see what his attitude was, but he didn't dare to hide the truth of the matter.
"That's right, the day before yesterday, during the filming of the crew of "Clover", Lee Hyorixi's agent had a conflict with the PD present, which affected the normal filming work on the scene, and Lin PD came to explain the situation to me yesterday and said that he was going to resign from the TV series PD job this time."
After Jin Youzhi finished speaking, he stood aside and did not speak, quietly waiting for Director Liu to respond, only to see him holding his chin with one hand, causing one hand to knock on the table from time to time, making a 'click' sound.
"Lin PD resigned, then change to another person, and if the script doesn't work, let the screenwriter in the station revise it again!"
"Yes!"
Director Yoo suddenly made such a loud voice that scared Kim Woo-ji, who was standing in front of him, into a tremble, I really had never seen such a big temper in history, of course, if you don't count the last time Jung Hyuk-jae talked to the director.
sBs TV originally had great confidence in "Shamrock", but the reality gave sBs a blow to the head, and sBs TV, which invested more than 2 billion yuan, it is almost impossible to recover the cost with a rating of 5%, if it was not for Lee Hyori's agency to help share part of the risk this time, then sBs TV would really be a loss to grandma's house this time.
At the beginning of 2005, I don't know how many media and the other two TV stations want to see their jokes, starting from the shady theory of the acting awards, KBs and mBc have used all kinds of shady means to hack sBs TV, if everyone is not distracted by the recent 'X-Files' incident, then it is estimated that it will take a while for sBs to clear their name.
The fire drama theater has always been a must for the three major TV stations, and KBs' "Haojie Chunxiang" has achieved more than 20% of good results from the beginning of the broadcast, and with the broadcast and broadcast of episodes, this rating is still improving, and it is Ben 30% to achieve.
The ratings of "Haojie Chunxiang" are rising, so the viewership share of KBs is naturally sBs and mBc.
Not only because of the script and actors, there are many reasons for the sluggish ratings of "Clover", don't you see that even the ratings of "Heroic Age" produced by mBc are more than half of "Clover"? Although mBc said earlier that he would cut "Age of Heroes", after such a long time, "Age of Heroes" is still broadcast well, and the ratings are better than when they were under the double oppression of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" and "Love at Harvard", with a rating of 14% that is much stronger than less than 5% of "Shamrock".
On this afternoon, Jung Hyuk-jae received a call from his former colleague Yoon Xiang-you, after a period of getting along during the filming of "I'm Sorry, I Love You", and the deputy PD of Yoon, who was a few years older than himself, Jung Hyuk-jae also learned a lot, and they got along quite happily. Although he has resigned from sBs TV, the two of them will call a few times from time to time to say hello and make an appointment to come out and sit together for a while.
"Why does PD Yin have time to call me? Haven't you been busy with Love Letters lately? Pressing the connect button, Jung Hyuk-jae leaned on the back of the chair and said with a smile.
Before leaving, Jung Hyuk-jae recommended his former partner to Choi Zhizhi of the Variety Show Bureau, and after some consideration, Yoon Xiangyou was transferred to "Love Letter" to be his deputy PD, although it is not the most ideal TV series, but the salary has also increased a lot compared to before, after all, getting married and having children, having a wife and children, Yin Xiangyou doesn't care if he can make a TV series by himself, and supporting his family is the most important thing.
"Hejae, I just wanted to inquire about calling you today." Yoon Xiangyou said vaguely, and Jung Hyuk-jae was also confused when he heard it, holding the phone for a long time and not knowing what he asked.
"What's wrong? What the hell is going on? ”
"That's the case, there is a TV series in the station that has been filmed here recently, and the director is going to be changed temporarily, Minister Jin asked me what to say, thinking about how to be a chief PD, I want to try it!"
Hearing him say this, Jung Hyuk Jae remembered that TV series in his heart, isn't it Lee Hyori's "Clover"?
Holding the phone, Jung Hyuk-jae hurriedly asked, "Haven't you agreed yet?" ”
"Ah, the phone call from Minister Jin just now, aren't I still thinking about it? Thinking about it, I'll call you. Yin Xiangyou said with a smile, revealing a bit of intimacy in his words.
"Brother, if you can trust me, then don't go down this trip to the troubled waters!"
Jung Hyuk-jae remembers very clearly that after a series of changes of directors, script changes, and infighting, the ratings of "Clover" are still so hard, if you really get your hands on it, the ratings can be improved, but if you can't, it will definitely be detrimental to your next development in Taiwan.
Yin Xiangyou on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then replied: "I listen to you!" ”
The two chatted for a while, and then hung up.
Remembering Yoon Xiangyou's words just now, Jung Hyuk-jae turned on the computer and searched for the news of "Shamrock", and sure enough, there were a lot of news written about concerns about ratings.
I have to say that at the beginning of 2005, sBs TV station was far from the taste of the TV drama variety show bully of the previous year, thinking of this, the corner of Jung Hyuk Jae's mouth showed a chuckle, and then turned off the computer.
