Chapter 21: The Miracle of Ratings
On the night of the show's broadcast, Jung Hyuk-jae gave the crew a holiday in advance, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, everyone stopped what they were doing one by one, or squatted or stood in front of the TV, waiting for the start of the "Reversal Drama" that they participated in filming.
Although he has the experience of his previous life, the ratings of "Reversal Drama" will definitely not be low, but as a 'rookie director', he will inevitably feel a little bottomless. Far away from the TV, only the eyes that looked at the TV from time to time accidentally revealed his thoughts.
"Zheng PD, why don't you go over and sit?"
Cai Lin didn't know when she came to his side, and looked at Zheng Hyuk-jae with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, her watery eyes seemed to be talking.
"Cai Lin xi? I thought you were going back? Jung Hyuk Jae came back to his senses and said in a little surprise when he saw the people around him.
"Today is the first episode of "Reversal Drama", how can I go back early?"
"If you want me to think, isn't it common for a busy person like you to fly around all day in a plane? Even if you want to rest, the company will definitely not allow it! ”
Hearing this, Cai Lin's eyes couldn't help but fade, but Zheng Hyuk Jae's unintentional words expressed the embarrassment of many popular artists.
At present, among the popular stars in South Korea, almost every announcement is full, from early in the morning of one day to one or two o'clock in the morning of the next day, and when the artist finally returns to bed~ I will stare for a while, and I will get up again in less than three hours to start the next day's work.
rushed to the beauty salon at five o'clock in the morning, and hurried to the set to make a perfect appearance, this is Cai Lin's hurried whole day.
"In fact, I sometimes envy those ordinary people, without too much pressure, grow up ~ people, get married and have children, support each other, and live their lives ordinarily!" Cai Lin gently reached out and brushed the long hair that was blown away in front of her ears behind her ears, glanced at the sky that was gradually darkening in color in the evening, and said slowly.
The voice is small, and it seems to be just speaking to itself.
Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at her beside him, even the best makeup artist couldn't hide the tiredness on his face, "You're wrong, in fact, ordinary people also have their troubles, such as money, etc., the reason why they envy their lives is just because they don't understand them 'people in the city want to go out, people outside the city want to come in', but that's it!" ”
Cai Lin looked at Zheng Hyukjae with some surprise, and chewed on this sentence repeatedly in her heart, 'People in the city want to go out, and people outside the city want to come in'.
"Let's go, let's go, the show is about to start!" Patting her arm comfortingly, Jung Hyuk-jae took the lead and walked out, blending in with a group of young staff, and after a while, you said I laughed.
Cai Lin stood in place in a daze, looking at the figure, her eyes were a little stunned, and a person who had never noticed before seemed to reappear in front of her.
"Zheng PD, while it hasn't been broadcast yet, don't you take the lead in guessing the ratings of our show?" A young man from the film crew shouted.
Jung Hyuk-jae smiled and nodded, "Guessing the ratings is a must, since I'm the first, then don't guess high, how about 20%?" ”
"Huh"
"Is this still called guessing?"
"If you say that, how do we guess next?"
"That's it, that's it!"
Everyone complained one after another about the young chief director in front of him, he couldn't be booed when he was working, and he always took this good opportunity to vent.
When talking about TV series or variety show ratings and viewership share, these are actually two concepts.
Viewership refers to the proportion of the target audience that watches a TV program in a certain time period to the total target population, expressed as a percentage. Viewership share, on the other hand, is the ratio of the number of viewers watching a program in a region to the total number of people watching TV, usually expressed as a percentage.
For example, if the total number of viewers is 100 people, but only 20 people are watching TV with the TV turned on, and 1 of them is watching your program, then your viewership is 1%, and the viewership share is 1/20.
Jung Hyuk-jae didn't answer, staring at the TV with a smile, waiting for the reversal drama after the end of "X-man".
The fragrant wind gusted, Zheng Hyuk-jae suddenly noticed that there was an extra person beside him, turned his head to look, and Cai Lin ran over at some point, leaning on the railing of the set, staring at the TV tightly.
"What you're about to watch next is Weekend Reversal!" With Yoo Jae-seok's introduction, the reversal drama of the first episode was finally displayed in front of everyone's eyes
sBs TV, it's close to ten o'clock in the evening, if nothing else, then the ratings of "Weekend Reversal Drama" should be counted at this time.
The lights in the office of the director of the sBs variety show bureau are still on, and an anxious figure can be seen walking around the office through the frosted glass.
"Director Cui!"
The young girl at the front desk knocked on the door of the room, and walked in hurriedly with a folder in her arms.
"Is it already out?" Cui Zhizhi's heart couldn't help but relax, and then he began to get nervous again, and the hand that took the folder involuntarily trembled slightly.
"Alright, you go out first!" Waving his hand to call the girl at the front desk out, Cui Zhizhi slowly opened the folder in front of him, and carefully looked at the ratings of the time period one by one.
"Success?" Cui Zhizhi looked at the black and white words on the document with some excitement, and sure enough, he didn't misread him.
At the same time, a signal from a phone call ~ passed through the night sky of Seoul and came to Gangnam. An upscale residence in the district.
sBs TV Drama Production Department ~ Chang Kim Woo-ji was standing in the study, a wide pear blossom wood desk, covered with a snow-white rice paper, pondering for a long time, then holding a pen in his hand, stained with full ~ black ink, thinking about what word to inscribe.
"Jingle bell jingle bell", the sudden ringing of the telephone made his hand tremble, and a drop of thick ink was stained on the rice paper that was originally like snow.
"Assi!"
The pen in his hand was thrown aside, Jin Youzhi gritted his teeth and answered the call in a deep voice, "Didn't I say that I didn't want to call at this time if I had nothing to do at night?" ”
The cold tone made the young man on the other end of the phone a little at a loss, so I heard him explain incoherently on the phone, "Jin Uh, Jin Ministry~ Chief, didn't you say last time, I'm still on the TV station"
Jin Youzhi's face became even more gloomy, and his hand holding the phone tightened, obviously angry in his heart, "Ah! If you have anything to say quickly, don't ramble, is this how your leader taught you to speak? ”
A reprimand scared the young man into a spirit, and he was slurred and incoherent just now, but now he was completely frightened, "Jin Bu~ Chief, I'm on the TV station now, you told me last time that as long as the ratings of "Reversal Drama" come out, let me report to you!" ”
Hearing this, Jin Youzhi's complexion finally returned to normal, and he seemed to have said this sentence in his impression, "Well, you say it!" ”
Although he once said this, he didn't pay attention to the "Weekend Reversal Drama" made by the Variety Show Bureau, where do a group of people who do variety shows understand TV dramas, and what kind of big name does a grass stage team still want to make?
Joke!
"The live ratings of 'X-man' continued from 14.7% before the broadcast to 17.9% at the end of the show, with a peak rating of 19.3% and an average rating of 16.8%!" The young man introduced the Boss according to the ratings table.
Although Kim Youzhi has a wrong appetite for the "Reversal Drama" made by the Variety Show Bureau, he actually sincerely admires the ratings of "X-man" from the bottom of his heart, just like the ratings of this ordinary issue, although the highest rating did not break 20%, but it is already very good!
Looking at the ratings of TV dramas broadcast so far this year, there is only one TV series that can break 20%, and you can see the potential of "X-man", as long as it continues to break 20%, it is a matter of course, and you can even consider the record of 25%.
"What kind of reversal drama is that?" At this moment, Kim Youzhi still couldn't remember the name of the short drama made by the Variety Show Bureau, just by listening to the name, he could have a hunch that the ratings would definitely not break 10%.
This is still an overestimation by him, if it weren't for the end of the short drama "X-man", it is likely that it would not even be able to break the 5% rating.
"Uh, the real-time ratings of "Weekend Reversal Drama" went from 19.4% at the beginning, uh" I don't know why, the guy on the other end of the phone started to talk again.
Kim Woo-ji was upset when he heard it, although he was a little surprised by the initial rating of 19.7%, he was not too surprised, after all, this is just the beginning of the broadcast, and the audience will definitely lose in the future, and the ratings will drop from 19%.
"You go on!"
"The real-time ratings of 'Weekend Reversal Drama' went from 19.7% at the beginning to 23.5% at the end of the show, with a peak rating of 24.1% and an average rating of 22.6%!"
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
It's broken by 20%? And the highest rating has reached 24%, is this still an ordinary homemade short drama?
Jin Youzhi couldn't believe it, and asked him to take a closer look, whether the ratings table given was wrong, how a short drama could reach 20% ratings, which has deeply subverted his previous concept of TV dramas.
It takes about 20 minutes for an episode to be full, even if it is with ads, two episodes with ads are only 50 minutes, which is not even as good as the weight of ordinary TV dramas, and the ratings are actually high, moving steadily towards the goal of 25%!
"Ministry~ Director, there is no mistake in this form, I have already asked the statistics there!"
"Ministry~Chief? Ministry~Long? ”
Ignoring the inquiries of his subordinates in the microphone, Jin Youzhi came to his desk with a gloomy face, staring straight at the rice paper stained with a drop of thick ink in front of him.
"Whoa!"
The Xuancheng rice paper specially bought from China was torn to shreds and thrown into the trash, and even the pen and ink inkstone on the table could not escape the angry Jin Youzhi's magic zhua.
The soft and comfortable carpet is sprinkled with a little ink traces, which looks a bit freehand painting style. "Assi!"
