Rebirth of the Director in Korea

“Stairway To Heaven” is a wonderful TV series. Although a lot of dog blood is sprayed in the plot, it does not give people a sense of intentional action. Apart from talking about it, I can still swallow this big pot of dog blood. This is a kind of ability for the director. The girls in front of the TV cried rustling sound while still scolding Screenwriter and director vigorously. This is also a success.

In contrast, another sister TV series-“The Tree of Heaven”, the whole drama was filmed in Nagano, Japan, produced by the original crew behind the “Stairway To Heaven”, which is called the “Heaven Series” Concluding chapter, don’t look at Lee Wan and Park Shin-hye, who played the leading roles in the classic drama “Stairway To Heaven”, as the leading male and female protagonists. They tell about a man and woman who became siblings in the legal relationship due to their parents’ remarriage. The story of falling into love, but the ratings are a little less than that of “Stairway To Heaven”, which was popular all over the country.

The ratings for the first broadcast of “Tree of Heaven” are actually not bad. Although the ratings of more than 10% are not high among the TV series broadcast on Water-Wood Drama this year, they can be regarded as reaching TV Station. The minimum requirement is that as the plot progresses, the ratings of the third episode just aired have dropped a lot.

“Oppa, is the third episode of poor ratings?”

During the filming break, Park Shin-hye looked at the gloomy manager and reluctantly asked. Under a pair of beautiful eyes, there are deep fears and fears. After all, this is the first time for a girl to participate in the filming of a TV series as a starring role. Naturally, she thinks that the ratings will go higher, but sometimes the reality of the palm is ruthless. surface.

“The ratings of the third episode are 7.2%…” By the time I said this, the manager was already a little embarrassed to continue reading, after all, this result seemed a bit too unspeakable.

7.2%!

An extremely embarrassing rating result!

If you say that a 10% ratings is the minimum TV Station’s requirement for a TV series, then when the TV series’s ratings drop below 10%, the in mind led by the station has almost given the TV series a verdict Has a fixed-term sentence and want to commute? Yes, look at the performance of the next ratings.

The ratings for the first broadcast of “Tree of Heaven” have 10%. Although the ratings of the second episode are still not high, it is still above 10%. This makes “Tree of Heaven” the entire production crew The members feel less relieved, as long as they give the time, they firmly believe that the ratings will definitely rise, but the viewers don’t want to give them face at the moment. The TV series’s ratings hit a big jump in the second week after it was broadcast. From 10.3% to 7.2% in the second episode, the height of the 30-meter platform overwhelmed them all!

We are the Production crew who once produced the national TV series “Stairway To Heaven”!

Well, they all say, “The hero doesn’t mention the courage of the past.” It is estimated that Lee Jang-soo PD’s heart is even more depressed at this moment.

Lee Jang-soo is the director and general PD of “Stairway To Heaven”. It can be said that Shinhwa, the ratings of “Stairway To Heaven”, was created by him alone. It’s a pity that the name is Se-young. It was ruined on the “Tree of Heaven”.

“Why is it so low?”

Park Shin-hye was shocked when he learned this number from his manager, as well as full of doubts. The ratings shouldn’t be so low. A small face is full of incomprehension and grievances. This is the first TV show she has starred in.

In fact, it is not just Park Shin-hye, even her manager thinks about it, but she can’t figure out the taste of the audience now. When the company helped Park Shin-hye pick up the TV series, it was important It is the signature created by the original crew of “Stairway To Heaven”, and the plot of crying to death, but based on the current ratings, it seems that everyone is miscalculating.

In fact, I blamed them for not being well thought out. If you say that the previous years were the harvest years of tragic TV dramas, then these years are the harvest years of comedy TV dramas. Check out “Sassy Girl Chun-hyang” “Super Rookie” and “My name is Kim Sam-soon”. Which of these high-rated TV series is not based on comedy elements as a selling point. Even if the comedy elements are not that many in the TV series, they can be claimed to be Light comedy!

Water-Wood Drama, Moon-Fire Drama, Jin Yao Drama and Weekend Drama are all weekly dramas, and the core feature of weekly dramas is “filming while broadcasting”, that is, a TV drama When it first broadcasts on TV, it has generally only completed about 5 episodes, and the script for the subsequent story is also in the creative stage. In this way, the future trend of the plot is easily influenced by various subjective and objective factors such as ratings and audience opinions.

On the other hand, South Korea’s online media has a great influence on TV dramas, while South Korea TV dramas are very democratic. Unlike domestic TV dramas, the audience may curse from beginning to end, but it can’t be changed. If One voice is consistent, then the writer may make some changes to the script.

This is not even the tragic “Love Story In Harvard” in the original novel. It is not necessary to change the Grand Finale according to the audience’s request. The main reason is that the audience’s voice is too strong. The original ending was changed. The change in the play cured the leukemia played by Kim Tae-hee, and gave a romantic wedding to a pair of lovers, abandoning the tragic ending that had been popular for a while.

So the tragedy in the ratings of “Tree of Heaven” is related to the wrong audience market research. Now it is not the time for the hero and heroine to stimulate the ratings, easy love. It’s what audiences like to watch most at the moment.

………………………………………………………………………………

The girl on the stage has a sad face, The audience, Jung Hyuk-jae, also received a call from his subordinates, told him about the ratings, and hung up the phone. A smile appeared on Jung Hyuk-jae’s face, with a rating of 27.2%. The 30% goal is getting closer and closer!

Two worlds on stage and off stage.

Soon “Unreasonable Challenge” continued to record, but the next recording, even Jung Hyuk-jae on the side saw the problem, the girl sitting in the MC on the stage is not here Distracted?

For five or six minutes, Park Shin-hye couldn’t insert a word at all. It was all other moderators talking about the discussion, and she didn’t know where she was looking, in short, she was stunned. In the same way, Kim PD’s face in the palm of the audience gradually became gloomy.

“Pause!”

Not long after, the Kim PD called out for a timeout. His face was so gloomy and unreasonable. Originally because of the program ratings, Kim PD I have been looking for a solution to the problem, but now it’s good, the solution has not been found, and the shooting level of the original program can’t be reached. It’s weird that the ratings can be good!

Because of Kim PD’s abrupt “pause”, the girl on the stage finally came back to his senses. When she saw the manager looked towards her eyes, she realized that she smelled good It was a mistake!

“Not good means, Kim PD, I just lost my mind.” Park Shin-hye stood up and bent down deeply, like a delicate and pretty little orchid lowered himself His little head is pitiful.

“Pay attention to the next shooting.”

Seeing Park Shin-hye’s every move, Kim PD didn’t have much to say. After all, this is a minor in front of him. Little girl, there are some things you can’t say even if you are angry.

Program recording paused has several points of minutes and then it continued.

Jung Hyuk-jae’s eyes didn’t stay too much on Park Shin-hye’s body, but because of the previous appearance, Jung Hyuk-jae’s eyes turned to the stage, and only program recording During the process, although the little girl covered her mouth and smiled lightly from time to time, Wei Wei frowns did not lie, which proved that the girl has a lot of thoughts, probably because of the TV series ratings, Jung Hyuk-jae thought.

When my subordinates called just now, they also told me about the ratings of the Water-Wood Drama of the other two TV Stations. Among them was the SBSTV Station “Tree of Heaven”, which seemed like a downward slope. The diarrhea-like big dive stunned the TV people in the circle. Originally, people in the circle were quite optimistic about this TV series. After all, according to the name, it belongs to the ending chapter of “Stairway To Heaven” and “Stairway To Heaven”. It’s just that everyone didn’t expect the ratings to be so sluggish, and everyone was shocked.

“How do you know this little girl?” Don’t know when, Kim Tae-ho approached Jung Hyuk-jae and asked in a mean tone.

When he heard what he said, Jung Hyuk-jae turned his head and glared at him, and said, “Can you not think so badly? Is it a little girl?”

I don’t know if it’s the reason why I’ve been in the entertainment industry for a long time. Kim Tae-ho, who has a pair of spectacles on his face, looks a bit more ethical, and looks a bit rascal when he speaks, “I’m not worried. Will you not find a girlfriend in the future?”

So just say, people can’t be too familiar. If you are too familiar, you dare to say anything!

I didn’t pay attention to the filthy god beside him, no wonder he would come up with that many deceptive ideas in the “Infinite Challenge” program in the future, which must be inseparable from his title of filthy god. Jung Hyuk-jae looked at the girl on the stage, and he really remembered that when the SBSTV Station awards were held, she seemed to be the one who came at the beginning?

There are so many things that people have to experience in their lives. If it’s not because there was a gap in the memory just now, Jung Hyuk-jae can’t remember what happened before, it’s always the SBS TV drama of that year. The big prize is not something worth recalling. Many people and things have lost their impressions in his mind.

However, a sentence of this girl was printed in Jung Hyuk-jae’s heart.

“Don’t cry because you didn’t win the prize!”

When I thought of this, Jung Hyuk-jae’s face couldn’t help but show a smile…

…………………………………………………………

After more than three hours of recording, this issue of ” “Unreasonable Challenge” is finally over, and it’s not bad in terms of time. After all, when Jung Hyuk-jae was doing variety show program PD, he also encountered more than ten hours of program recording time, which is nothing. What’s new.

When Jung Hyuk-jae came to the MC’s big lounge at the backstage of the program, Yoo Jae-seok and the others were sitting around a small coffee table, chatting, and eating stir-fry. For rice cakes, the atmosphere is quite hot.

Hearing the knock on the door, Yoo Jae-seok looked up at the door, and when he saw Jung Hyuk-jae coming in, he immediately greeted him, “Hyuk-jae is here? Come here, come and eat! “

The recording time of “Unreasonable Challenge” is more than three hours. Don’t look at it as a group of masters. Even if you eat in the morning, you will be hungry now. A few boxes of fried rice cakes. Then everyone’s appetite was seduced.

Receiving a lottery from Yoo Jae-seok, Jung Hyuk-jae also sat down and joined the army of fried rice cakes. Although he is not very familiar with the other MCs, it is because of Yoo. Jae-seok is here, the atmosphere is always cold.

Although program’s ratings are not high, it does not affect the relationship between everyone. After such a long period of time, the relationship between several MCs is considered to be a relatively good one. There is usually something to do Whenever there is nothing to do, they will come out to get together. He he chats and chats or something. There are only a few things between men, and all friendships come from drinking.

“da da da !”

No matter how you say it, it’s a big man. A few boxes of fried rice cakes are not good at all. They are all wiped out in a few minutes. , But I can always cushion my stomach. After eating the fried rice cakes, everyone in the house was talking, and then I heard another knock on the door. Yoo Jae-seok felt a little strange, but he still responded.’ Please come in’.

I don’t know if someone outside the door didn’t hear clearly, and there was a rhythmic knock on the door again.

Yoo Jae-seok was about to get up and open the door, but Jung Hyuk-jae, who was closest to the door, reached out and stopped him, “Jae-seok -hyeong, let me go.”

With that said, Jung Hyuk-jae got up and came to the door, opened the door, and saw a pretty figure standing at the door at a glance. It’s not Shin-hye, who else would be there, but although she was smiling, her eyes were red. .

“Sunbae?”

When I pushed the door, I saw Jung Hyuk-jae. Park Shin-hye was a little surprised, “Yoo Jae-seok Sunbae are they here?”

“It’s all here, come in.” Jung Hyuk-jae greeted him kindly.

Yoo Jae-seok and the others behind also saw Park Shin-hye, smiling and speaking of which: “Is it Shin-hye-ssi? Come in!”

“Park Myeong-su Sunbae, Yoo Jae-seok Sunbae, Noh Hong-chul foreheads are better than… hello!” Baba’s long line of greetings came down, and there were no fewer than a dozen girls just bending over.

Don’t look at these MCs who always pretend to be very colorful on the stage, but they all seem very kind, after all, they are all for the needs of the role.

Park Shin-hye did not stay in the lounge for too long, but the polite attitude and manner of the girl still left a deep impression on the MCs at the scene, a very nice girl! This is what everyone thought in their hearts.

After talking for a while, Park Shin-hye said he was leaving, Jung Hyuk-jae stood up again and drove her to the door, and then watched the girl bend over and bow to say goodbye to him, “Goodbye Jung PD !”

After saying this, he turned and left. At this moment, Jung Hyuk-jae suddenly stopped her.

“A pretty little beauty girl, don’t cry!”
