Chapter 163: Premiere
is different from the fifth jade and Taeyeon who watched the premiere, but there was a tense atmosphere on the part of the program team. There is little doubt about whether the ratings will increase. Two artists who have been very popular recently participate at the same time, and even to satisfy their curiosity, many people will choose to watch it.
But there is also an upper limit to the increase in this reason, and as a professional TV station, it naturally has its own set of measurement standards. What they're nervous about now is to see if the show's ratings can be above that standard.
In the studio, the PDs and writers of the program team nervously looked at the data counted by the computer. When the previous couples were played, the data was still the same as before, neither high nor low, showing a smooth trend transition. With the fifth jade and Taeyeon part, the very intuitive line chart suddenly rises, but the PD is still expressionless, because the ratings at this time are still some distance from that standard.
PD clasped his hands to his chest, and his indifferent face could not see the mood at this time. However, as a writer who has been collaborating for a long time, I can still understand his nervousness at this time from some clues.
Gently stretching PD's clenched fist, the writer said to PD unusually gently:
"Jungjae, you will definitely be able to surpass!"
PD was stunned, and the writer's delicate face revealed infinite tenderness.
"Show... Xiuli, thank you. PD also lightened his tone, but the title was still a little blunt. Immediately, PD straightened his face again, put his eyes back on the computer screen, and said:
"However, when you work in the future, you will still call me my position!"
Xiuli pursed her lips and smiled softly, not angry because of PD's blunt answer, but just looked at the cramped PD gently, and said silently in her heart:
"Lord PD, if you come to this show, you will definitely be rated as the most blunt husband!"
When the fifth jade and Taeyeon parts were broadcast, the ratings were much higher, but let alone exceeding that standard, it was a little difficult to see that trend even reach. This made the atmosphere of the whole studio a little depressing, and several staff members looked at the serious PD worriedly, as if they were looking at a bunch of explosives that would explode if they were not careful.
In the final analysis, in terms of recent popularity, Fifth Jade and Taeyeon are indeed standing on the cusp of the limelight. But the time for the two of them to be popular is too short, and to put it bluntly, a large part of these popularity is a bubble. There has never been a shortage of short-lived idols in the entertainment industry, who were in the limelight for a short period of time, but eventually disappeared from people's sight over time. Actually, Taeyeon is better, after all, he debuted in 07, and his current popularity also has a certain foundation. And the fifth jade is different, a complete newcomer, and there are no works in South Korea, not counting this "We Are Married", three variety shows in three months! His current popularity is actually more due to the fact that he made Hollywood movies and the scandal with the national goblin Lee Hyo-ri. Therefore, the combination that seems beautiful is far from the expected results.
"Lord PD ......" Su-ri looked at Jung-jae worriedly, in her eyes, he was not the stern PD in the staff's mouth, but her husband who was not very good at expressing his feelings.
Their story is very simple, colleagues who have been working together for a long time, as they gradually get to know each other, Nam Jung-jae, that is, this PD, is attracted by Su-ri's gentleness and tolerance. And Su-ri also discovers the sincere but inexpressive feelings hidden behind Jung-jae's serious face. So, the two naturally came together.
"Whew!" With a deep exhalation, PD turned around and looked at Xiuli with a worried face, a rare trace of tenderness on her serious face.
"Forget it, maybe we're taking it for granted. This program ...... That's the limit! ”
At this time, Xiuli suddenly looked at the computer screen blankly, and in confusion, PD also turned her head to look.
I saw that the ratings curve, which had been stagnant in growth, suddenly rose again, straight across that standard line, and there was no tendency to weaken at all.
"This ...... What's going on? What happened? Is the machine out of order? The sudden surprise made the PD a little incoherent, and then the staff checked some computers and replied:
"No, the machine is fine."
"I want to ...... We really did take it for granted! At this time, Xiuli, who was in a daze, suddenly said.
PD looked at his wife suspiciously, only to see Xiuli continue: "We have always clearly classified the show as a funny variety show, and we think it would be interesting to let the IDOLs pretend to get married, and then all kinds of funny things appear, but we didn't find the characteristics of this show!" ”
"What are the features of our show? Everyone knows that it is a fake marriage! But what we have to do is to hide this 'fake'! At the beginning, we were afraid that there would be scandals among the participants, so we basically did not arrange more sincere scenes. But, think about it, if you stand in the audience's point of view, when you see these couples all funny on that day, what is the first thing that comes to mind? False! It's too fake! In addition to those little boys and girls who will continue to look at their idols, will those parents with remote controls watch this kind of obvious play? ”
"However, if it's too sincere, if there is a scandal, our show will also be criticized!" PD lifted his glasses, seriously considered Xiuli's words, and said with some concern.
"We thought too much about it and forgot a little bit! From the very beginning, our show has told everyone that we are married by illusion! All the scandals can be explained by this, as long as those IDOL don't really announce their marriage during the show......"
Speaking of which, Su-ri pointed to the show that was being broadcast simultaneously, in which Fifth Jade was facing the icy pool and was ready to go down to catch fish with a look of death, while Taeyeon was watching worriedly. Then came the post-mortem interview, in which Taeyeon explained:
"Although I proposed it, I just heard from my friend that it was good for my body and that OPPA was really going down, so I couldn't help but worry! Because it was really cold that day and the water was very cold......"
"The two of them didn't do anything funny, because they joined suddenly, we didn't have time to set them up, we almost just let them play on their own! That said, most of the time these are their most authentic reactions. I think that the ratings suddenly increased again because the audience also found out about this, and there is no artificial control of the laughter, they will be more curious about what will happen next! The more Xiuli spoke, the more she affirmed her thoughts, and then called up the previous ratings, saying:
"Look, that's the ratings for the first days of our show. The ratings were also high at the time, but then they went down. We started to think it was past the freshness period, but it wasn't! You see, since we added settings to Qiangren and them, although there are more funny scenes, the traces of the performance are more obvious! So, I now think, that's the crux of the matter! ”
PD carefully looked at the ratings that were dialed up, and through the comparison of the dates recorded above and the content of the program, Xiuli's explanation became more and more convincing.
"So the fifth jade can't be set up either?" PD said with a frown.
"Yes." Xiuli shook her head and replied unexpectedly.
"Huh?" PD was stunned for a moment, waiting for Xiuli's explanation, only to see Xiuli shake her finger and say softly:
"You must know that the fifth jade itself does not have a fixed image in front of the public!"
“…… It seems like... It seems like this......" PD thought about the pitiful variety show of Fifth Jade, and replied with black lines.
"It's just, so the show is out of our control!" PD sighed softly, although he found out the reason, but as a PD, out of his own control, is that still the show he wants to do?
"No, it won't!" Xiuli said affirmatively, then looked at PD, and said gently: "I'm your writer!" ”
After a deep look at Suri, PD nodded, then turned to look at Fifth Jade and Taeyeon in the picture.
"It looks like I'm going to ask these two in the future!"
