Rebirth of the Director in Korea

“The casting of KBS Moonfire’s new drama’Love Story In Harvard’ has begun”

“Jang Dong-gun said:’I hope I can challenge the drama “Character”, is expected to join “Love Story In Harvard”

“KBS new drama PDLee Hyung-min: This is an absolutely refreshing idol drama”

“KBS Action Constantly, MBC and SBS are temporarily silent”

As the fourth quarter of 2004 is approaching, whether it is a business or TV Station, it seems that the unity has fallen into the madness of festivals, although there are more than two festivals from the nearest festival. Month time, but this does not prevent the business from making publicity in advance.

Throughout this year’s TV series, the output is more than that of novelty. So far, 28 TV series of various genres have been filmed. If it is said that “Weekend Reverse Theatre” directed by Jung Hyuk-jae Screenwriter can make many viewers shine, then other TV series can only say “new wine in old bottles”. ‘, lack of sincerity as it should, perhaps the ratings are high, but it has also been criticized by many viewers.

From the perspective of ratings, “Lovers in Paris” leads the TV series with the highest ratings of 57.6%, and “Terms of Endearment” with the highest ratings of 45.5% and “Love Story” follow closely from behind. “In Bali” and “Full House” ran in third place, followed by “Weekend Reverse Theatre”, which can only be called a humorous short theater, followed closely from behind with the highest ratings of 28.9%. This has led to countless TV series. People are ashamed.

If you say that 20% is a hurdle, as long as you step past 20%, this TV series definitely has the potential of fire, 25% means that the TV series has become deeply ^ popular, if is 40%, even With a rating of 50%, it can only be said that this TV series absolutely captures the pulse of the market and the remote control of housewives, and becomes a national drama in everyone’s mouth.

Of course, ratings are not everything. There are also many factors that affect ratings. How popular is a TV series? In addition to subjective factors such as story arrangements, actors’ acting skills, etc., there are competitors as well. How to perform such objective factors.

Once the three TV dramas broadcast at the same time period form a confrontation, whether it is a dichotomy or a tripartite stalemate, the result of a stalemate will be that the ratings will fluctuate, and no one can win, and no one can win. It will be a disastrous defeat. Therefore, among these high-view TV series, there are some lucky ones who are “born in a good time”.

Similarly, ratings and word-of-mouth are not very relevant. For example, despite its high ratings, a TV series is not as good as the other TV series in the same period, whether it is topical or attention. . Although the ratings are higher than that of another TV series, word-of-mouth is not necessarily better than the other’s.

Those classic Korean dramas are not all of the amazingly high ratings, compared to these can only be said to be average.

The large Conference Hall on the second floor of KBSTV Station was refurbished early in the morning of the day. The cleaning aunts scrubbed it from the inside to the outside. Several staff members were on the stage. Assembling the shelves, there are several tables and chairs arranged on the stage, KBSTV Station is busy from top to bottom early in the morning.

Half an hour later, the stage was finally cleaned up. A huge propaganda poster with a width of 4 meters and a length of 7 meters was hung at the back of the stage. Half of the posters were covered up. It seemed There are some secrets underneath, but the other half points out the reason for KBSTV Station’s move this time — “Love Story In Harvard” production press conference!

At eight o’clock exactly, a reporter has already entered the venue, finds his place and sits down, staring curiously at the poster on the stage, fixed his eyes, and seems to be able to see through the cover. Secret under.

“It seems that KBS’s action this time is not small!” Several familiar reporter friends were communicating quietly while the press conference had not yet started.

Another female reporter with a peaked cap recalled the actions of this year’s KBS TV series, and said with emotion: “This year’s TV series’ ratings of the top ten on the Ranking List, KBS occupies 4 The quota is really strong in TV series!”

From “Terms of Endearment” to “Full House” to “Forbidden Love”, it can be said that as a state-run TV Station, KBS has already occupied the TV series. Important location.

“So far, SBS and MBC are still quiet, won’t this year’s Moon-Fire Drama be quietly filmed, right?”

When my friend’s doubts were heard, the female reporter was the first to refute Said, “This is absolutely impossible. You must know that SBSTV Station still firmly dominates the top ranking list of this year’s TV series with the highest ratings. The 57.6% ratings of “Lovers in Paris” can even be added to previous TV series ratings. It’s also the highest!”

“There is also “Dae Jang Geum” by MBCTV Station. Although this drama was broadcast from September last year to March this year, if you count the ratings, The average ratings can be ranked first this year!”

“You also forgot that SBS also has the dark horse “Weekend Reverse Theatre”. This year SBS also has 3 TV series ratings on the Ranking List. TV series are on the list. I’m sure that SBSTV Station’s actions will not be small in the future, and it’s more likely that it will directly collide with KBS and MBC!”

I think of “Weekend Reverse Theatre” during this time Dark horse performance, everyone seems to be full of confidence in the next three TV Station melee.

In this way, they were talking while waiting for the KBSTV Station “Love Story In Harvard” production conference to begin. At 8:30 in the morning, a beautiful hostess in a dress walked away On stage, he announced with a microphone in his hand: “The production conference of “Love Story In Harvard” begins now!”

Followingly, Lee Hyung-min, the chief director of “Love Story In Harvard” I walked up from the side of the stage, with plump cheeks, the suit on my body was a little tight, and the hair neat and tidy covered my forehead. After all, my age was not too young, and my hairline was a bit back.

Lee Hyung-min stood on the stage and bowed slightly to the dozens reporter present. Then he said: “Thank you for coming to the production conference of “Love Story In Harvard” today!”

After a few simple words, he left the opportunity to ask questions to the reporter friends present. He swept his eyes down two times. Lee Hyung-min pointed to the female reporter wearing red-clothed clothes in front of him. The first question is about you, ah, yes, I am wearing a red-clothed suit with my right hand!”

The staff on the side walked up to her and handed the microphone to her. For herself, she couldn’t hide the excitement on her face. This was the first time she came out for an interview on her own. Naturally, the excitement in her heart was far more fierce than normal.

Lee Min-ah hurriedly got up and kneaded the corners of his clothes to cover up his inner tension, “Excuse me…uh, who are the heroes and heroines in the TV series “Love Story In Harvard” “

tone barely fell, she came back to his senses, couldn’t help but want to slap herself with a big mouth, what stupid question she just asked! Even if you don’t ask yourself this question, it will definitely be announced at today’s press conference. You can hear the uncontrollable chuckles of colleagues all around without having to watch and listen.

Lee Hyung-min laughed, and with a wave of his hand, the curtain that was originally covering the poster was pulled open, revealing the true face inside.

In the screen, the comfortable and warm sunlight is shining obliquely. The male protagonist played by Kim Rae-won is leaning against the wall, with one hand hugging the female protagonist Lee Soo- played by Kim Tae-hee. in, smile at the corners of the mouth, the years are quiet.

Lee Min-ah doesn’t care how beautiful the stills are. She only knows that she must hurry up and ask another question, otherwise she won’t be able to deal with it when she goes back.

“Lee PD, can I ask you another question? Excuse me… Lee PD…”

“Young Lady, a question has already been asked!” Staff She simply and rudely tried to snatch her microphone, but was stopped by Lee Hyung-min on the stage.

“Excuse me!”

Lee Hyung-min stretched out his hands and said very generously.

Take advantage of this moment, Lee Min-ah hastened to read the questions he had prepared on a piece of paper, and his eyes were locked on one of the most concerned questions.

“Excuse me, will the ending of the TV series “Love Story In Harvard” and the novel version “Love Story In Harvard” be different?”

I wanted to watch this rookie on the sidelines. The reporter’s nodded, which they recognized, also felt that she asked a good question. At present, the audience is most concerned about the ending of the TV series and the novel version.

“Leave this question to the future, you will understand when you see it in the future!”

Lee Hyung-min keeps quiet about this issue, the hostess is timely I took the microphone and proceeded to the next steps, “Below are Kim Rae-won -ssi and Kim Tae-hee -ssi, the male and female starring actors of “Love Story In Harvard”!”

The handsome man on stage The pretty girl killed everyone present, murdered the film and video tapes of the camera in their hands. Before the hostess spoke, everyone had already asked you questions.

“Kim Tae-hee -ssi, what do you think of the ending of “Love Story In Harvard”? Do you think there is anything about the heroine that attracts you?”

“Kim Rae-won -ssi, what caused you to take over this TV?”

“What do you think about Youxi Shengqing? Kim Tae-hee -ssi Do you have a boyfriend now?”

“Kim Rae-won -ssi, what is your ideal type?”

Everyone is noisy, and it feels like walking in for an instant Vegetable market.

Lee Min-ah was squeezed in the outermost periphery of the reporter. She was thin and thin and couldn’t fight the big five and three thick guys. She looked at all around reluctantly.

“dīng líng líng …dīng líng líng …”

My cell phone rang, and I looked at the caller ID, and she was so scared that she hurriedly answered, “Editor in chief, you Good!”

The deep voice came out of the microphone, Lee Min-ah reached out and covered the microphone to prevent interference from outside sounds.

“How’s it going to you now?”

“The press conference is almost over. I will be able to report back to the agency in a while. I will definitely not miss the newspaper tomorrow!” Lee Min-ah said affirmatively.

“Don’t come back, I received the news that the press conference of SBSTV Station is also this morning. You will go there in a while and catch the news on both sides!”

Approaching October, the three major TV Stations have entered a war without gunpowder!
