Korean audiences have been waiting for a long time, and the annual spy war drama [IRIS] filmed by KBS TV and South Korea's Thai Won Entertainment Company has finally started.

Since a year ago, it was first rumored that Zixi would return to Korean film and television, and take over the [IRIS] actor at a price of 100 million won per episode; Later, during the filming of [IRIS], the amazing news that Zixi and Kim Tae-hee had been in love for seven years was exposed; followed by the Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster [Transformers 2 Comeback] starring Zixi, which exceeded $800 million at the global box office; Won numerous awards at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards and American Teen Choice Awards; The last is that Zixi became the first actor to make his debut in South Korea and became a member of the Hollywood 20 million club.

All of this is an internationally recognized glory, and the Korean media naturally added countless dazzling halos to Zixi, which also allowed him to return to the first work of Korean film and television [IRIS] and become the champion of Korean and even Asian TV drama broadcast rights sales.

KBS did not hold a grand premiere ceremony, but before the broadcast, director Kim Kyu-tae and starring Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee came out to say a few words to the media. It's not that I don't want to do it, but [IRIS] is still in the middle of intense shooting. Zixi's schedule is limited, and it is impossible to waste it endlessly on a TV series.

Don't think that the salary of 2 billion won is very high, compared to the envious and jealous eyes of countless Korean actors, Zixi really doesn't value the 2 billion won. After all, with his worth of entering the 20 million club, it will take three or four months for a movie, but the harvest is more than 20 billion won, which is ten times more. If you include the appearance fee of CF and some events, it is simply astronomical.

Before the premiere in the evening, the crew of [IRIS] temporarily canceled the filming, and the heroes and heroines Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee, the couple in and out of the play, invited everyone from the entire [IRIS] crew, including writers, directors and producers, to eat at the barbecue restaurant and watch the premiere. The barbecue restaurant is naturally the barbecue chain of Zixi and Girls' Generation, but it is not the main store in Cheongdam-dong, but the branch of the restaurant in the food street between Namdaemun Main Cave and C-dong.

[IRIS] From the crew to the actors, there are more than 200 people, and this time Zixi and Kim Tae-hee are very generous, inviting everyone over at once to share the final results of their work. Except for some who can't leave because of work, basically all of them are here.

As a prime-time TV series, there are world-class superstars like Zixi joining, and during the filming, the news continued, and the surprises and surprises continued one after another, and the degree of attention received was far beyond imagination. The audience has watched Zixi's performance on the big screen, and the support and popularity of returning to Korean film and television over the years can be imagined. As soon as they put down their jobs, the audience was already waiting in front of the TV, ready to see the wonderful performance of the star of the world returning to the TV series.

The barbecue restaurant in Namdaemun is also lively, for today's treat, the barbecue restaurant has closed to the public, and the best Hengseong Korean beef and high-quality pork belly are prepared, and shochu, rice wine, and beer can be drunk openly, ensuring that everyone who comes can come happily and return satisfied.

Entertaining 200 people to eat Korean beef, ordinary people really don't dare to think about it. If you think about more than 10,000 won per 100 grams, even if the price of Hanwoo has fallen to about 10,000 yuan due to the impact of the global financial crisis, it will be more than 4 million won based on an average of 200 grams per person. If you include pork belly and other side dishes, the cost of a meal will exceed 7 million won, which is not a high cost that ordinary people can afford.

However, when they heard that Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee had a treat, no one thought that they would be stingy and couldn't afford to invite them. According to the remuneration of the two of them, they can't eat it a hundred times. So eat with peace of mind, let go of eating, as long as you have fun, as long as you are happy.

"Zixi! Have you ever wondered how many points you can get for today's premiere? Director Kim Kyu-tae, who was holding a wine glass and asked Zi-hee to pour wine for herself, asked with a red face.

After pouring a glass of wine for director Kim Kyu-tae and director Kang Di-gyu, Zixi said with a smile: "With two big directors to help, I will definitely exceed twenty points when I watch tonight's premiere." ”

"Oh! So confident? Director Jiang Digui was also invited over for dinner by Zixi by phone call. Hearing Zixi's words, he smiled at Director Kim Kui-tae and said, "I see that you don't have confidence in us, but in yourself." With your current fame, coupled with the cooperation of Kim Tae-hee, the first beauty in South Korea, I am afraid that there are very few people in the entire Republic of Korea who don't know about our TV series. So I reckon there is a good chance of reaching thirty points tonight. ”

"Thirty?" Not to mention that Zixi was taken aback, Kim Tae-hee, Kim Seung-woo, Kim So-yeon and Jung Jun-ho at the same table, and the old-timers Kim Young-cheol and Lee Jung-gil were all surprised.

Director Kim Kyu-tae seemed to be satisfied with everyone's surprise, and said with a smile: "Director Kang Di-gyu's words are not nonsense, according to the results of KBS's survey on the Internet, the most anticipated TV drama of this year is our [IRIS]." Among the votes of more than one million people, nearly 830,000 viewers said they would definitely watch it, nearly half of them said they would watch it because of Zixi, and nearly two-thirds were looking forward to the couple performance of Zixi and Kim Tae-hee. According to the results of this investigation, thirty points should not be a big problem, but I don't know if there will be such a miracle in the first episode. ”

As director Kim Kyu-tae said, if the ratings of the first episode reach thirty points, it will indeed be a miracle, even against the sky. The audience's requirements for watching TV series are getting higher and higher, but it's not so easy to fool. In addition to the script, director and cast, the most important thing for a TV series is word-of-mouth. No matter what the TV series is, the ratings are generally from low to high, or from high to low. There are not a few TV series with the first episode exceeding 20 points, [Da Changjin], [Taizu Wang Jian], [Xu Jun] and other historical TV series can be reached, but TV series with more than 30 points are unique.

"Director Kang Di-gyu and Director Kim Kyu-tae, are you too ideal?" Kim Seungwoo, as a senior who has debuted for many years, is relatively stable, of course he hopes that the TV series will have good ratings, but excessive expectations will be disappointing, so he conservatively questioned: "I estimate that it is more than thirty o'clock, and twenty-five o'clock is about the same." ”

Director Kim Kyu-tae was not unhappy because of Kim Seung-woo's questioning, and in the past year of cooperation, everyone has established a deep friendship, and he will not be unhappy because of such a trivial matter, but asked Zixi with great interest: "What about Zixi?" Everyone said that there was an ideal rating point in their minds, and if anyone guessed it, then how about everyone invite him to eat again? ”

Zixi thought for a while, nodded and said, "I also agree with Brother Chengyou's prediction, it's almost twenty-five o'clock." After speaking, he gave Kim Seung-woo a high-five.

Director Kim Kyu-tae didn't say anything, and said to Kim Tae-hee and Kim So-yeon, the two beauties present: "What do you two think?" ”

Kim Tae-hee smiled and said, "I believe in the prediction of director Kim Kyu-tae and director Kang Di-gyu, there will be thirty o'clock in the premiere." ”

"Yikes! You don't believe your husband, and you're still fighting against me? Zi-hee pretended to be unhappy and asked Kim Tae-hee.

"Cut! I'm not helping my relatives, and I haven't married you yet. Kim Tae-hee shook his head and left the back of Zi-hee's head.

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed for a while, Zixi and Kim Tae-hee flirted and scolded each other, and after the two made their relationship public, the crew was not uncommon.

Kim So-yeon patted Kim Tae-hee with a smile and said, "Don't flirt in front of us singles, it's enviable and jealous." But this time I believe that Chengyou OPPA and Zixi, I believe that thirty o'clock will be reached, but tonight's premiere, twenty-five o'clock is already very good. ”

"Yikes! How can you betray me, there are only two of us here, and we should unite with the outside world. "Kim Tae-hee and Kim So-yeon are the same year, but the month is older than her. However, in the entertainment industry, Kim So-yeon is an absolute senior. The two of them have also become very good friends because of this TV series, and they have no scruples when they speak.

"What joint external? If you want to unite with you, it's better to find Zixi, otherwise he will complain that I have taken over his girlfriend. ”

"Uh-huh! We should be husbands and wives! Even if you lose, you should lose with me. Zixi nodded and said.

"Yikes! What is the truth of this, what you want to lose, you will lose together. I'm going to win, it's thirty points. If I win, not only will you have to dinner, but I'll also have a Ford E450 RV. Kim Tae-hee immediately increased the stakes.

"I haven't used that car, and you want it?"

"Humph! So which K7 do I have? Didn't I just use it, and someone took it out and ran around the street and came back dirty? Kim Tae-hee glanced at Zi-hee and said through gritted teeth.

All right! Zixi now understands how Kim Tae-hee deliberately got angry with him today, and it turned out to be jealous. Yesterday I taught Yuli to practice driving and went to a construction site. When the new Kia Ophiles K7 came back, it was as if it had just been pulled out of the quagmire, and the whole car was mottled with dust and dirt, so angry that Kim Tae-hee almost didn't go crazy on the spot. This is considered to be a chance for Kim Tae-hee to take revenge, so he did not hesitate to use the Ford E450 RV as a bet.

"Ford E450 RV? Are you kidding? This time it was Kim Kyu-tae's turn and was taken aback by Kim Tae-hee.

As a director, Kim Kui-tae often comes into contact with some high-end RVs and luxury goods for the needs of filming. The Ford E450 RV is also known as a mobile luxury palace among the same models in the United States. The interior space and functional areas are completely designed according to the modern family, and the inner cage area of the cabin can be up to 40 square meters. Luxurious sofas, LCD TVs, modern kitchens, separate showers and toilets, luxurious bedrooms and roof air conditioning are all available, integrating "clothing, food, housing and transportation", which can give people the warmth and comfort of home. However, this "home" is not cheap at all, and the modified Ford E450 RV imported from the United States costs more than 400 million won.

Fortunately, director Kim Kui-tae only knows the price of an ordinary Ford E450 RV, and he doesn't know which Ford E450 RV Zixi has according to Zixi's requirements, after special modification by Ford Depot, otherwise he will definitely choke Zixi's neck and scold "loser". Because the cost of refitting Zixi's Ford E450 RV is much more expensive than buying a car, reaching 100W US dollars, more than 1.2 billion won.
