Chapter 375: You from the Stars
When the filming of "Runningman" officially began, as the planner of this variety show and the chairman of NRG TV, Lee Jun-hee did not appear on the scene. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, Lee Jun-hee wanted to supervise the work, but unfortunately, on the night of the start of filming of "Runningman", he had more important things to pay attention to.
After post-production, as well as large-scale publicity, "My Love from the Star" finally ushered in its premiere.
As Lee Jun-hee's first TV series after his return, "My Love from the Star" attracted countless eyes as early as the start of filming, the partner of national idol Lee Jun-hee and national goddess Jun Ji-hyun, just the actor cast, made this drama popular during the filming process.
Finally came to the day of the broadcast, Lee Jun-hee went to NRG TV after dinner, wanting to grasp the first-hand ratings data for the first time.
With Lee Jun-hee is Jun Ji-hyun, who has not had a work for a long time, and her expectations for this drama are also very high, of course, there is another reason why she pays so much attention.
If it weren't for "You from the Star" and without the role of Cheon Song-yi, Jun Ji-hyun would not have gotten together with Lee Jun-hee as he wished.
"President! The data just counted, the ratings are 13.5%! ”
After listening to the staff's report, Lee Jun-hee just nodded, didn't say anything, and it hasn't officially started yet, and now this rating can be said to be the credit of the previous publicity work.
What the results will be, we have to wait until after the first episode is broadcast.
After the final editing of "My Love from the Star", there are only 20 episodes in total, and TV series of this length are generally broadcast weekly.
But Lee Jun-hee did not do this, but ordered the TV station to broadcast one episode a day, and all the broadcasts were completed in three weeks.
The reason why this broadcast method is adopted is because Lee Jun-hee intends to use this TV series to completely establish the status of NRG TV in the Korean broadcasting industry.
"I'm nervous!"
There were only two people in the room, Lee Jun Hee and Jun Ji Hyun, and Jun Ji Hyun noticed that Lee Jun Hee had not spoken since he sat down, and as the broadcast time approached, she could clearly feel that Lee Jun Hee was nervous.
This guy will be nervous too!?
Jun Ji-hyun felt very curious and couldn't help asking, "It's just a TV series, we all tried our best, as for the result, is it that important?" ”
Lee Jun-hee raised his head, looked at Jun Ji-hyun, and secretly said in his heart: Can I not be nervous?
For this TV series, Lee Jun-hee has put in a lot of effort and energy, and in terms of production alone, the production cost of one episode will be worth the investment of a small-budget movie.
In terms of actors, even small roles with only one or two lines are played by well-known artists in the circle, and the performance lineup can be called luxurious, and in terms of post-production, Lee Jun-hee specially invited the most famous production team in the Korean film and television industry, and even the OST of the TV series is sung by the national sister IU.
Jun Ji-hyun, who waited for a long time and didn't see Lee Jun-hee speak, asked curiously: "What's wrong?" You can't be really nervous!? ”
Li Junxi sighed and said, "If you want to say that you are not nervous, can you believe it?" My expectations for this series are very high! ”
Jun Ji-hyun didn't understand, well, she also knew that the situation of the NRG TV drama channel was not optimistic, but expecting a TV series to turn over, she still felt that Lee Jun-hee was a little taken for granted.
"Your current state, is it ~~~~~~~~ that you don't have any confidence at all!"
Li Junxi smiled faintly, how could that be!
Although it is inevitable to feel nervous in the process of waiting, Lee Jun-hee is still very confident in the TV series itself, softening various elements and creating a work that is very different from previous Korean dramas, Lee Jun-hee believes that it will definitely attract many audiences.
Lee Jun-hee thought and looked at Jun Ji-hyun.
Jun Ji-hyun was stared at by Lee Jun-hee like this, and couldn't help but feel a little unnatural, and said, "What are you looking at me for?" Is it up to me to decide the ratings? ”
Li Junxi smiled when he heard this, and said, "That's right! You're the key to the success of this show! ”
Jun Jihyun was stunned for a moment, pointed at himself, and said, "I didn't expect myself to be so important!" ”
Li Junxi said in his heart: Of course it's important, whether this "You from the Star" can get its wish and succeed, you are a crucial factor.
Because Jun Ji-hyun plays Cheon Song-yi in the play, which is a female character that has never appeared in the history of Korean dramas.
Korean dramas, all along, can also be said to be idol dramas, most of the heroines have always been girls next door, with low education, no career, the bottom of the family, affinity and ordinary, full of shortcomings, but quite real.
Why is this premise?
is to allow the female audience in front of the TV to smoothly substitute for themselves, and only with this strong sense of substitution will they be attracted.
Even a woman like Jin Sanshun can bring such a handsome man, isn't it possible for him?
Dreaming began at this time.
It should be said that many Korean dramas are quite successful in this perspective.
The heroine generally chooses a newcomer girl, no acting skills are required, but she is real, of course, her appearance is lovely, but there are few glamorous goblins, cute, no sense of threat to the female audience, sexy, but not good.
But "You from the Stars" rarely chooses the heroine of a national goddess.
What to do?
How can ordinary female viewers have a sense of substitution for Jun Ji-hyun's beauty without dead ends and his height of 170?
That is a vigorous and unsparing "de-deification" movement.
peeled off the aura of the goddess and let the goddess land in the mortal world, firstly, the plot made her fall to the bottom of her life, and secondly, the details were extremely life-like.
First of all, from the point of view of malice, it satisfies the mortals "You also have today!" Goddess! Secondly, from the perspective of goodwill, the audience has a sense of identity that "in fact, the goddess is the same as us when she talks about love".
As a screenwriter, Lee Jun-hee's portrayal of the character of Cheon Song-yi can be said to be a different way, and he uses "de-deification", just like the most touching line in "Notting Hill", it is the female star who tearfully said to the bookstore owner: "Actually, I am also a girl, standing in front of the boy I like, begging him to love me." ”
"You from the Star" used a lot of space, so that Jun Ji-hyun took the initiative to confess, took the initiative to attack, regardless of self-esteem, repeatedly hit a wall, stalked, fell out of love and got drunk, sent humble text messages, cried and scolded, lost all manners, and everything was "deified".
Jun Ji-hyun, it took more than ten years to create a goddess, and taking off this halo, one TV series is enough.
It can be said that all the savings of more than ten years have been used in this TV series.
In fact, it can be said that the star that landed in the world was not a professor, but Jun Ji-hyun, the national goddess.
This sense of novelty is the magic weapon to attract the audience.
In fact, if you want to make a serious comparison, it is not difficult for people to find that this TV series is not so much a different way, but rather a complete reversal of traditional Korean dramas.
In traditional Korean dramas, the general routine is that the male protagonist falls to the bottom of his life, and after meeting the heroine, he begins to fight back, such as the "Success of a Cheerful Girl" a long time ago, probably the main line is that a grumpy and arrogant rich second generation is plotted to lose everything, and when he is in trouble, he meets an ordinary heroine and plucks up the courage to create brilliance again.
In comparison, isn't it very similar to the male version of "You from the Star"?
In the era of "Cheerful Girl Success", the life and career of the male protagonist is the main line of the story, in the era of "My Name is Jin Sanshun", the heroine wants to start her own business with the male protagonist, and in the era of "You from the Star", the male protagonist has no career, of course, he doesn't need it, everything is focused on the heroine, and the whole story is how the heroine clears her grievances, escapes from danger, and returns to glory.
The story has been completely centered on the heroine's life, and her ups and downs are all.
Isn't this completely upside-down setting enjoyable?
not only meets the needs of female audiences, but also takes care of male audiences, which can be described as a kill.
After the finished product of post-production, Lee Jun-hee has already seen it, Jun Ji-hyun's performance can be said to have broken through the limits of the roles she has played in the past, even the savage girl in the classic "My Sassy Girlfriend", which is not as good as Cheon Song-yi she plays.
"Here we go!"
At the beginning of the TV series, there was no long opening, but Do Minjun, played by Lee Jun-hee, stood on the street of Seoul, and the background behind him changed little by little from a barren area through the changes of the times, and gradually evolved into a modern metropolis full of high-rise buildings.
"The special effects are good! Just this title will attract many women! ”
Immediately after the plot began, the first thing that appeared on the screen was the Joseon Dynasty, and Xu Yihua, who was still a girl, died before her husband died, and she became a widow at a young age.
Park Bo-young sat in the sedan chair, muttering to herself with an expression expecting Ai Ai.
Jun Ji-hyun looked at it and couldn't help laughing, "oppa! Bao Ying should really be here today, in the first episode, her role is not light! ”
When Li Junxi heard this, his tone was helpless, and he said: "I would have come over together, but she was called away by Xiaozhu, and she should be at home with Xiaozhu at this time, and she is paying attention to this drama like us!" ”
Jun Ji-hyun was stunned when he heard this, and at first he was worried about Park Bo-young, and then he gloated and said, "Is it? That's great, I hope they don't fight while watching a TV show! ”
Lee Jun-hee looked at Jun Ji-hyun: What kind of person is this! (To be continued.) )
