Chapter 80: Competing on the same stage
Entering the end of the year, starting from October, the TV drama ratings of the three major TV stations are catching up with me, and they all want to dominate the audience's TV set.
From "Not Alone" to "Wife's Betrayal" to "Tropical Night in December", "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me" and so on, these TV sets that premiered in October have seized the opportunity in the ratings.
But as the battle for ratings kicked off in November, all of that was shattered by "Love at Harvard" and "Sorry, I Love You," and the only thing that could be called good was sBs's weekend drama "Please Dance with Me One Last Time."
This low-cost TV series quietly launched by sBs TV at the end of October did not attract much attention and attention at first, and Chicheng, which debuted in 1999 and has not yet become popular, has a two-year career gap with the former ses member eugene (Liu Zhen), such a group of male and female groups really makes the audience not interested in watching.
Before the start of this show, no one knew about its existence, and even if someone knew, it was estimated that there was no vision, because on the surface, its plot was really old-fashioned, and the actors were not eye-catching.
Before the broadcast, sBs TV carried out a small scale of publicity for it, and from the trailer broadcast in advance, it seems that it is also a bloody romance drama, the rich boy suffers from amnesia, and talks about a 'prince and Cinderella' love affair with an ordinary girl.
At that time, the cast was not outstanding, and the old-fashioned love story seemed to have given this TV series a 'critical illness notice' at the very beginning, maybe sBs also knew the problems of this TV series, and it is estimated that even they themselves had little confidence, so they didn't make any efforts to publicize it, presumably they just casually inserted it to pass the time of the show.
is such a TV series with no actors and no publicity, and in the competition of weekend dramas, it has surpassed the two major TV stations KBs and mBc, and has become a well-deserved dark horse.
At the same time, with the broadcast of five or six episodes of "I'm Sorry, I Love You", the highest rating of the TV series reached 23.4%, and the average rating was 21.2%, while "Love at Harvard" and "Heroic Times" in the same schedule ranked second and third with ratings of 19.1% and 9.7% respectively. Three weeks after the TV series aired, "I'm Sorry, I Love You" unexpectedly ascended to the throne of the ratings of the moonfire drama.
At the beginning, KBs were still confident that they would snatch back the title of ratings champion through the plot of "Love at Harvard", but the ratings of seven or eight episodes of "Sorry, I Love You" taught KBs and mBc to be human beings every minute.
In the second week of December, the ratings of "Love at Harvard", which has already aired 12 episodes, have dropped instead of rising, from 19.1% last week to 18.4%, completely losing the desire to catch up with "I'm Sorry, I Love You". Due to the development of the plot, the ratings of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" have been firmly stabilized at 23%, and there is a possibility of breaking 25% at any time.
"Love at Harvard" has completely failed to catch up, and "Age of Heroes" is about to be cut, as long as the right TV series is launched, "Age of Heroes" will end its sad ratings journey. Looking at it, the opponent of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" seems to be gone
"The duel between the big hit and the big hit, the fight between the dark horse and the dark horse!" ă
"Counting the year-end ratings winners, sBs came out on top"
"Competing on the same stage, the battle for ratings"
It stands to reason that there is nothing to compete with the same station, because no matter which ratings are high, the final winner is sBs TV, but the undisciplined behavior of reporters is manifested here, and football still has a 'city derby', why can't TV dramas compete on the same stage? This is discrimination!
So "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me" and "I'm Sorry, I Love You" were deliberately placed on opposite sides by them.
"The battle for TV drama ratings at the end of this year can be described as exciting, and the three major TV stations can be described as punching me and kicking me, which can be described as a fist to the flesh. "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me", which was inconspicuous from the day it was launched, did not have a strong star lineup to attract ratings, and there was no atmospheric publicity offensive, "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me" dominated the weekend theater with its light comedy style, and the ratings were firmly maintained at more than 20%.
A dark horse from sBs TVâ--- "I'm Sorry, I Love You" is also the object of our discussion today.
If the reason why "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me" became a dark horse is in the actors and publicity, then the reason for "Sorry, I Love You" is in the director.
Take a look at the resume of this young director who is less than twenty-five years old, "X-man", "Weekend Reversal Drama", "Sorry, I Love You", the resume is not very gorgeous, but it can definitely make people shine.
In the past, there has never been a director as young as him, even among short drama directors, there are few people like him, at most he is an assistant director, and he is still in his early thirties.
Not many people are optimistic about the "I'm Sorry, I Love You" directed by him, and the sluggish ratings of the TV series since the beginning of the broadcast seem to confirm the ability of this novice director, but a week later, he really faced the "Weekend Reversal Drama" directed by him, and the sharp reversal of the plot surprised everyone, everyone couldn't believe their eyes, and the slaps in the face were endless.
Director Jung Hyuk-jae uses his unique soothing rhythm to tell a sad story, showing the audience Cha Moo-hyuk's unfortunate but fortunate life.
Close your eyes, the melody of the TV series osT "Snow Flower" seems to be lingering in your ears, the tangled love between Cha Moo-hyuk and Song Eun-chae in the play firmly grasped the hearts of the audience in front of the TV, and the most anticipated thing in a week is the broadcast of the recent episode of "I'm Sorry, I Love You", looking forward to Cha Moo-hyuk and Song Eun-chae getting closer in the new episode, looking forward to them telling each other their hearts, and recognizing that the person opposite is actually the most important person in their lives"
"The highest rating of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" broke 25%, and the fact that "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me" in the same period was still able to maintain more than 20% of the ratings under the impact of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" is enough to explain the problem.
The Moonfire Theater doesn't have much comparison with last weekend's theater, because of the broadcast mode of the weekend theater, "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me" has more potential to win the year-end ratings championship than "Sorry, I Love You". â
"Li PD, what do you think of this manuscript? Is it written like this? â
sBs TV, the name is also Li PD, but this Li is not the other Li. Lee Seung-yeol PD, director of the sBs weekend drama "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me".
At this time, he was sitting in a swivel chair in the office, answering the phone with one hand, holding the mouse in the other hand and carefully reading the press release on the Internet about the TV series he directed.
"That's a good write, I'll call you the money in a moment!" Lee Seungyeol said with a smile.
"Then you're busy, Li PD!"
Hanging up the phone, Li Chenglie leaned on the transfer, stared directly at the ceiling above his head, and many thoughts turned in his mind for a while.
Lee Seung-yeol has actually heard about the recent rise of the TV station Jung Hyuk-jae, but he has never had the opportunity to meet, after all, the two are directors, and neither has much more time than the other.
No matter what kind of company it is, it is not a monolith, and there is naturally competition where there are people, and the place where people are rivers and lakes.
Because they both belong to sBs TV stations, and the TV series of the two are not on the same schedule, it stands to reason that there is no competition at all, you have a moon fire drama, your own weekend drama, the difference between the two is 108,000 miles, no one can hinder anyone, which one is this staged by Lee Seung-yeol?
Since "I'm Sorry, I Love You" topped the Moonfire Theater championship, since the beginning of seven or eight episodes, the ratings of more than 23% of the episodes have not only pressed KBs and mBc under him, but also the weekend drama "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me" belonging to sBs has inevitably been compared by the audience, insiders and "I'm Sorry, I Love You".
The ratings of "Please Dance the Last Dance with Me" are very stable, from 17% at the beginning of the broadcast to more than 20% at present, and Lee Seungyeol, as a PD, has spent a lot of energy and effort on this drama.
Everyone actually has a competitive heart hidden in their hearts, maybe because they saw the attention that "I'm Sorry, I Love You" caused on the Internet, or maybe because "I'm Sorry, I Love You" is about to break 25% of the ratings, Lee Seungyeol came up with the idea and relied on the popularity of "I'm Sorry, I Love You" to hype his TV series.
I don't know how it works, but I have to give it a try.
Approaching the end of the year, the year-end awards of major TV stations are about to kick off, and Lee Seung-yeol more or less has thoughts in this regard, although his TV series are not as popular as "Bali Story" and "Paris Lovers" at the beginning of the year, but as long as he can occupy a few places in the year-end awards, he feels very gratified.
If he wants to win a place in the year-end awards, his biggest enemy is "I'm Sorry, I Love You".
