Endless Rebirth

"Secret Garden" is half a year ahead of time in memory, which means there will be a lot of variables.The director has been changed, the plot has been adapted, the actors have also been adjusted, and the production company has been replaced by a stupid one. It can be said that this TV series is different from the original version.

Being non-original does not mean the quality is poor, on the contrary, it is better.

Lee Shi-hun firmly believed in this, so he showed strong confidence in front of Yoona.He personally participated in the adaptation of the script and discussed the plot with Kim Eun-sook. His understanding of the story was almost the same as that of the original author.

He is also the director of this TV series, and he knows every shot and every picture.The performances of the actors are even better than in the original version, and the editing is also more thoughtful than the original version.So he has reason to believe that the premiere can create a miracle.

Of course, not everything is perfect.After all, it was his first time coaching and he had many shortcomings.However, these deficiencies can be covered up during editing.Coupled with his popularity appeal and the popularity of the protagonists themselves, it seems that there is no need to doubt anything.

However, after dawn, Li Shixun received the day's newspaper from his secretary.

Without exception, newspapers are full of negative opinions on Li Shixun's TV series, even in the face of survey data.They also gave reasons. The first one was that Li Shixun was not from a relevant professional background and they doubted his guidance ability.

What's interesting is that although the lines in the newspaper are full of suspicion, they don't mention names, which is a bit covert.Completely opposite to the sharpness in the past.Li Shixun understood this almost instantly.

His name still plays a role. How the media reports it must also take into account public opinion.Now Li Shixun is the trend.Even if you are questioning something, you must be calm and have a reason, otherwise random accusations will only cause trouble.Didn’t I see that some time ago, Li Shixun was taken away by the Blue House and there was a demonstration?

Guidance ability is one aspect, but having strong opponents is also a reason not to be optimistic. SBS TV station is not the only one that will broadcast Lee Shi-hoon's TV series.In terms of moon dramas, there are "Ohmylady" starring Choi Siwon and Chae Rin, and "Coffee House" starring Kang Jihwan and Park Si-yeon, which will be broadcast in May.

In terms of the popularity of the starring roles, scripts, etc., these two films are not inferior to "Secret Garden" directed by Li Shixun. In terms of the level of expectations, they are almost the same.

In addition, in terms of water-wood dramas, there is Song Joong-ki's "Obstetrics and Gynecology".Works such as Kim So-yeon's "Prosecutor Princess" and Lee Seung-ki's "My Girlfriend is a Nine-Tailed Fox" will be released one after another after Lee Shi-hoon's TV series, which will have a big impact on the ratings.

There are also weekend dramas such as "Mom's Desire", "It's a Beautiful Life", "Neighbors", etc.Not to mention, there are other two major TV stations, as well as Korean cable TV stations.

With Li Shixun's popularity and charisma as an actor, it would not be difficult for him to stand out among so many works.But because the company had no experience or was too anxious, it set the release date in April instead of during the summer vacation. Wasn't it a big mistake?

The above are all what the newspaper means. You should be careful with Li Shixun's words. They are not so polite to an entertainment company, not to mention that this company still wants to advance from the idol circle to the entertainment industry.It would be weird not to have some fun with it.

Li Shixun regarded these newspapers as a joke, flipped through them briefly, and then threw them aside.However, although he didn't care, someone did, and he was even more worried.

"Minister Jin, why do you have time to call me?" Li Shixun said with a smile.

Minister Jin on the other end of the phone was not in such a good mood, and said worriedly: "Shixun, have you read today's newspaper?"

"Well, I just finished reading it. It's just nonsense. Don't pay too much attention to it." Li Shixun said casually.

"It's a bit of nonsense, but there are also some shrewd words. Shixun, I think it's better to switch to weekend dramas. I don't know what dramas are about!" Minister Jin said with a bitter smile.

The difference between Mizuki dramas and weekend dramas is that Mizuki dramas have fewer episodes, and there is one episode every day. Weekend dramas focus on families and are suitable for families to sit together and watch on weekends. The number of episodes is larger than Mizuki dramas.

"Minister Jin, are you so unsure of me?" Li Shixun said helplessly.After all, Minister Kim is from the variety show department. Although he is involved in TV dramas, he is not proficient in it. Li Shixun still understands this mentality. It can be understood, but it does not mean that he agrees.

"Of course I have confidence in you, Shixun, I just..."

"Okay, Minister Jin, don't worry too much. It's just a TV series. It doesn't matter even if the ratings are a little bit worse." Li Shixun interrupted him and said, "Even if I have to change, it's too late. I already agreed to relax tonight." , You can never break an appointment, that will make you more passive."

"Actually, forget it, as long as you have confidence, why should I worry about you." Minister Jin had something to say but held back, and finally said: "That's it, let's have a drink together when we have time."

"Well, goodbye!" Li Shixun hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

He understands what Minister Jin is worried about. Every move he makes is being watched. If this work is not satisfactory, it will be a huge blow to him.However, Minister Jin did not understand that he, Li Shixun, was strictly not an artist.

It doesn't matter whether you are popular or not, as long as you can make money.Don't forget, essentially, he, Li Shixun, is a businessman.

Putting aside the indifferent thoughts, Li Shixun continued to work.

On this day, the crew finished work early. Li Shixun invited the entire crew to have Chinese food. Everyone ate while waiting for the TV series to play.While eating, Pani and Taeyeon also rushed over during Yoona's call.

SNSD was currently in their respective activities. Pani and Taeyeon had just finished their announcements. When Yoona received the call, they were coming out of the TV station.

The arrival of the two members of SNSD naturally caused the crew to cheer and lively for a while.But it only lasted for a while. As the TV series officially started to play, everyone's eyes were fixed on the only TV in the restaurant.

The leading actors had serious faces and their eyes caught the attention. They put down their bowls and chopsticks and stared at the picture on the TV.And Li Shixun also received a call from Minister Jin after watching it for a while.

"Shihun, good news, the first broadcast ratings are 20.00% in Seoul and 19.00% nationwide!" Minister Kim's laughter came through the speaker in Li Shihun's hand.

"Oh yeah..." Huge cheers immediately erupted from the Chinese restaurant.

That night, news about the horrific premiere ratings of "Secret Garden" circulated on the Internet. SBS TV station even used "Conscience Works" as the news headline, fully analyzing the reasons for the horrific ratings, and sarcastically and refuting the media reports during the day.
