Chapter 66: The Ending of the "Emperor" Drama
Another week passed, and "The Crown Prince's First Love" aired the last two episodes, especially the finale broadcast on August 26, and the audience has been looking forward to it for a long time. Because the ending this time was filmed based on the results of the audience's voting, it seems to have a special meaning for them.
In the past two weeks, the staff of the official website of "The Crown Prince's First Love" and the telephone receptionists of the relevant departments of the TV station have collected tens of thousands of votes. The results are as follows: The audience votes for Cha Tae-hyun and Jang Sung-won were actually less than 100 votes, accounting for less than 2/1000 of the total votes of more than 70,000 votes. This result is a big surprise, because most people think that Jang Sung-won has a great chance of winning, after all, the show's ratings in the second half are almost supported by Jang Sung-won.
The crew thought that the statisticians had made a mistake, so they rechecked it, and the result was still the same. After carefully analyzing the reasons, I understood why there was such an unexpected result.
Most of the people who support Zhang Chengyuan are female audiences, including teenagers, young people, middle-aged and even elderly women at all stages, it can be said that all ages are killed, of course, the reasons why each age likes Zhang Chengyuan are not the same, so I won't repeat them here.
And the composition of the audience that supports Cha Tae-hyun is much more complicated. Their reasons for choosing Cha Tae-hyun are roughly as follows:
"Although I prefer the male number two Zhang Chengyuan, Cha Tae-hyun is the original male number one, and the female number one naturally wants to be with the male number one." This is the thinking of conservatives, and there are still quite a lot of traditional people in Korean society.
"Unconditionally support Cha Tae-hyun, as long as it is Cha Tae-hyun oppa, I will support it" This shows the strength of Cha Tae-hyun's fans.
"Jang Sung-won is too arrogant, too stinky, too annoying, it's better to choose Cha Tae-hyun than to choose him." This is the reason why Jang Sung-won's anti chose Cha Tae-hyun.
"Zhang Chengyuan's conditions are too good, he will snatch our little boy away, so I don't want them to be together, even on TV, I don't want to see them together." This is the choice of some Cheng Youli fans.
Although Jang Sung-won is more popular with female audiences than Cha Tae-hyun, his handsome appearance and cold and arrogant personality in the play also make many male viewers jealous and hateful, because he didn't want to see Jang Sung-won win and voted for Cha Tae-hyun. That's the general reason why the two votes are equal.
After Cha Taixian learned about this reason, Ha Luha laughed and ignored it, the laughter was a little bitter but more open-minded; Cheng Youli laughed and teased Zhang Chengyuan for deserving of bad luck, who told him to always bully her in the play; After Zhang Chengyuan knew the reason, he didn't take it to heart at all; Others think that Zhang Chengyuan is very popular, and it is reasonable to be hostile to other celebrities' fans.
Knowing that there was no problem with the voting results, the director and screenwriter immediately felt a headache, because according to their predictions, Jang Sung-won was very likely to win, so the first ending of the careful filming was to make Sung You-ri and Jang Sung-won a happy couple. For the sake of insurance, the ending of the second version of Cha Tae-hyun and Sung Yo-ri living together in Tahiti was also filmed. never thought that the audience's support for the two male protagonists would be almost the same, so that he never thought of filming the third version of the finale. But the results turned out to be much more than they expected.
In order to give the audience an explanation, three days before the finale was broadcast, the crew, which was about to be disbanded, worked overtime again, busy in the dark, not distinguishing day and night, and finally rushed out of the official finale that was finally broadcast on the screen. In this ending, the heroine Sung You-ri was neither with Cha Tae-hyun nor with Jang Sung-won, but went to Paris alone, and the two male protagonists after learning the news left everything behind and went to Paris to pursue love, as for who was with whom in the end, it depends on the audience's own imagination, because the plot is all over here.
As soon as such a finale was broadcast, the result was predictable, and it immediately attracted one piece after another of verbal criticism. The audience was furious, and they all felt that the director and screenwriter of the "Crown Prince" crew had made a mistake in their nerves, and actually filmed this kind of disappointing ending, they waited for about an hour without blinking on the night of the 26th, just to wait for the ending that could make them get what they wanted, and now they were tricked, how could they not be angry? So that night, the crew of "The Crown Prince's First Love", especially the director and screenwriter, were scolded by countless audiences.
But the crew also has their own difficulties, honesty is the foundation of life, since the voting results were announced by the notary public, even if they don't want to play this kind of finale that is not pleasing to both sides, they can only harden it with a cloud-like scolding. Compared with pleasing the audience, it is more important to have the credibility of the industry, because the gimmick that made the audience vote to decide the finale was originally made by them, and they were already under great pressure, and if they did not fulfill their promises, they might be severely punished by the Korean Broadcasting Commission or the TV Drama Association, and the consequences would be even more serious. By contrast, the public scolding will automatically dissipate after a few days at most.
However, the crew still made some countermeasures. First of all, he held a press conference to solemnly apologize and explain the reasons for doing so, so as to win the public's understanding. In addition, it also made a solemn promise that it would never engage in such petty tricks to confuse the public eye again in the future. Finally, the other two versions of the ending were published on the Internet for everyone to watch for free, so as to satisfy the disappointed audience who did not see the desired ending.
But these have nothing to do with Zhang Chengyuan, the day after the whole drama was finished and the dinner was eaten, that is, on August 27, he immediately rushed to Zheng's house to comfort Xiao Jing, because he made Xiao Jing too sad during this time.
During the whole summer vacation, because Zhang Chengyuan was busy filming, he didn't play with Xiao Jing once, and he didn't even have the opportunity to meet, which made Xiao Jing complain again and again, and even said on the phone that he didn't want to recognize him as a brother anymore. For children, spring break and summer vacation are the best time to play, Xiao Jing has long been looking forward to being able to get together with Zhang Chengyuan and have fun in this summer, but Zhang Chengyuan has never accompanied her decently once, no wonder Xiao Jing is very annoyed! Fortunately, the child's temper came and went quickly, and when Zhang Chengyuan appeared in front of Xiao Jing and solemnly apologized to her, Xiao Jing immediately forgave him.
In the evening, in the room of the Zheng sisters, Zhang Chengyuan was lying on a single bed, his tall body almost occupied all the space, so that the little crystal sleeping next to him had almost nowhere to go, so he simply hugged him tightly and fell asleep. Zhang Chengyuan accompanied Xiao Jing to play a knowledge quiz game, Xiao Jing was tired of playing and fell asleep on his chest, Zhang Chengyuan was afraid of waking her, so he had to lie motionless at the head of the bed and think about his own thoughts.
Thinking about the filming experience and harvest in recent months; thinks that with his current popularity, the next TV series should be able to serve as the male lead, and his future career should be on the right track; Thinking about how to deepen the relationship with the four sisters of Fin.k.l, it is best to formalize the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend, and at least chase one of them......
