The splendid life of Korean entertainment

The ratings were sluggish in the first week, and Jin Zongchang encouraged everyone not to be discouraged on the set.

"Our TV series will shoot about [-] to [-] episodes. Now it's just the beginning, and the wonderful things are still to come. Please keep working hard. I believe it will get better and better."

As a senior, Han Zhenxi, an old drama player, encouraged everyone by shouting slogans: "The champion of ratings - "Conditions of Love"! The champion of ratings - "Conditions of Love"!"

And his wife, Jin Xiuyu, who was a famous actor, also came to the scene to cheer for the crew, and brought her novice made fish cake with spicy strips.

Artists of the older generation use spiritual comfort to motivate the whole crew, but no matter how much they motivate, it is also an internal communication. Whether the audience should watch it or not, it will not give you any face!

How to do?

Chicheng came up with a method: "Do promotion!"

promotion?

Well, to put it bluntly, it's just praising yourself!

Jicheng has a wide network of contacts, and he immediately sent a please text message to Son Yejin, Su Zhixie, Zheng Jun and others who had worked together in "Delicious Beauty".It's a pity that apart from Zheng Jun, the other two actors who are currently in the trend did not send a reply to Chicheng.Chicheng was not discouraged, and continued to use text messages to capture Li Bingxian and Song Huiqiao, who had worked together in "L.A. Life and Death". These two were very face-saving and quickly replied to the message. However, they didn't mention anything about the promotion, only saying that the It is inconvenient for people to answer the phone when they are abroad. If there is anything to do, we will discuss it when we return home.

"Brother Chicheng, please take a rest!" One day, Song Ya finally couldn't take it anymore.Although it wasn't her who sent the text message, Chicheng's doing so would make the entire crew feel ashamed.For "Conditions of Love", Song Ya has a lot of confidence in her heart. She believes that as long as the audience doesn't suddenly change their appetite and like watching war movies, or the Republic of Korea falls into the Pacific as a whole, then with Wen Yingnan's solid script structure, " The Conditions of Love" must not be too bad in ratings.Just need to wait for now!

Or, Song Ya really missed it. "Conditions of Love" has always been poor in ratings, and even hastily finished. For Song Ya, she can accept it.The taste of the audience is changing all the time. The only thing that an actor can do well is to play every role well. As for the result, she believes that an excellent film and television work will not be drowned in the end.TV dramas are different from movies, especially Korean dramas, which only broadcast two episodes a week. Now the main story line has not been fully unfolded, and half of the main characters have not yet come out to meet the audience. In addition, there are no big-name stars in the town, so how can the ratings suddenly explode? ?Song Ya didn't understand what Chicheng was anxious about!

"Be patient, brother Chicheng." Song Ya frowned and said, everything is haste, and it's really embarrassing to beg for help!The fact that the ratings are not high now does not mean that it will still be like this a month later.

However, Chicheng has his own ideas. "Leave Yami alone, the ratings are on my brother!"

In the crew, Chi Cheng's star journey is also relatively smooth. He debuted in 1999, and won the Newcomer Award at the MBC Drama Awards in 2001 for his outstanding performance in "Delicious Beauty".

Unlike Song Ya, although Chi Cheng won the first award in his life two years later, he did not run through so many tricks. Instead, he withdrew for a while to complete his studies, and then returned to the film industry. altar.

In Chi Cheng’s own words: “Anyway, I had nothing to do during the summer vacation. A director approached me to act in Delicious Beauty. I didn’t want to do it at the time. Later, when I saw that the heroine was Son Ye-jin, I agreed, and I won an award.” Said To be honest, when the host read my name, I was calling my mother in the toilet and told her that I couldn't go home for dinner today..."

For entering the showbiz by mistake, Chicheng had a playful attitude at first, but as time went by, especially after starring in some popular film and television dramas, he became more and more concerned about the future development of his career.

Therefore, it was difficult for Chicheng to accept the low ratings of "Conditions of Love".The reason why I came here at the beginning was entirely because of the important position of the director Jin Zongchang in the TV industry.How popular was "Yellow Handkerchief" back then!Almost all of Asia is popular, and this "Conditions of Love" is not bad.Originally, Chicheng wanted to take this opportunity to further his career. Who would have thought that the audience would be so ruthless, but in just two years, he completely forgot about Jin Zongchang who had touched them countless times.

Chicheng also felt that it was harmless to ask celebrity friends to help.We all hang out in the same circle, I beg you today, you beg me tomorrow, and finally a win-win situation, isn't it great?Besides, that's not the case in the music industry. The juniors made their debut, and the seniors of the company assisted with great help. Even though the singing was a mess, the seniors shamelessly praised it as the sound of nature.Since the music industry does this, it is not an exaggeration for the film and television industry to do this, right?

However, he forgot that colleagues are enemies!Not a colleague of the same company, but an enemy among enemies!At that time, whether it was Son Ye Jin, So Ji Sub, or Lee Byung Hun, Song Hye Kyo, there would be new dramas coming out.Can someone help you?That's crazy!

In addition to Chi Cheng, the other two leading actors, Li Zhongyuan and Song Yiguo, are also mentally abnormal. They sang together and pretended to be netizens on the Internet, exaggerating "Conditions of Love"——

A: "Recently I watched a very good TV series, KBS's "Conditions of Love". The director is Kim Jong-chang, he is my favorite director!"

B: "I have watched the TV series A mentioned. It's really good. The plot will definitely subvert your imagination, and the actors in it are all very beautiful! Especially Song Yiguo who played Luo Changxiu, wow, so handsome! "

C: "By the way, Li Zhongyuan, who plays Chen Zhenghan, is not bad either!"

Ding: "They're all handsome and beautiful, everyone go and see them!"

……

As a result, the director Jin Zongchang knew about these two farces somehow.Since ancient times, literati have always had an arrogance, and they would rather kill than humiliate!It is not shameful to have low ratings, but it is shameful to ask for help and cheat.On the set that day, Jin Zongchang, who has always been good-tempered, lost his temper. He pointed at Chi Cheng, Li Zhongyuan, and Song Yiguo and said, "Pack up your things and go back to your respective companies. My Jin Zongchang's crew does not need such people!"

The three big boys were terrified. They didn't expect that their good intentions would lead to bad things.Everyone was very sad, not because they were about to be sent home, but because they felt sorry for Jin Zongchang for their childish behavior.

"I'm sorry, director, we were wrong!" Although the three big boys expressed their attitude with a long ninety-degree deep bow, Jin Zongchang waved his hands in anger and said in disgust: "Go, go! Back to your Go to the company!"

The situation reached a stalemate for a while, and the work of the entire crew had to be suspended.

Song Ya wanted to talk to the director. She understood Jin Zongchang's anger, but the childish way of sending the three male actors home made her feel very irrational. After all, the TV series had already been aired. Coupled with the reshoots of the scenes that have not yet been aired, then "Conditions of Love" may really become an unfinished drama.

The price paid was too high, Song Ya thought it was not worth it!

Song Ya told Cai Shina her thoughts in a tactful way.

"You're right." After pondering for a moment, Cai Shina nodded and said, "However, even if you're right, you shouldn't be talking to the director."

"I understand, that's why I came to find my sister."

Cai Shina shook her head slightly: "You are wrong, and I am not qualified either."

Song Ya was stunned for a moment: "I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. You entered the industry earlier, and you are even your younger brother than director Jin Zongchang. How can you say that you are not qualified?"

Cai Shina lowered her head and smiled slightly, looking at Song Ya like she was looking at a child: "Silly sister, I'm not talking about seniority qualifications, but qualifications as a woman.

Women's qualifications?Song Ya suddenly realized!

Yes, how did she forget that this is South Korea?A country that calls for equality between men and women every day, but in fact shows that men are superior to women everywhere.Machismo tells the people living in this land that what is on the table is a man's business, and women should choose to avoid it!

Song Ya sighed in her heart, but said nothing. "Who does my sister think is suitable?" She asked curiously.

The most urgent thing is to solve the shooting as soon as possible.

As a result, Cai Shina smiled slightly, and turned to look at Han Zhenxi not far away, who was enjoying the big play with great interest.

Han Zhenxi's face was full of joy, and he couldn't see any unhappiness because of the delay in the shooting progress.He even stepped forward and patted Chicheng on the shoulder, "encouragingly" said: "Xiaocheng, leave me a phone number at home later, it's fate to get together, and we will keep in touch in the future!"

"Senior, you..." Chi Cheng became even more depressed.

Cai Shina leaned into Song Ya's ear and whispered, "Look, Dad is too impatient to be a peacemaker."

Really?Song Ya disagreed, why did she feel that if Han Zhenxi got involved, the matter would become even more chaotic.

Han Zhenxi was indeed willing to be a peacemaker, but his approach surprised everyone.He actually agreed with Jin Zongchang's approach!

"Yes, director, you should send all such ignorant actors home and never hire them!"

Song Ya was a little anxious.Senior, are you trying to calm down the situation or add fuel to the fire?Just as she was about to rush forward, Cai Shina grabbed her: "Be patient, Xiao Yamei, the best show is yet to come!"

Cai Shina spoke very firmly, as if everything was under control.

Facts have proved that Cai Shina's judgment is completely correct!

It was only at the last moment that Song Ya suddenly realized that Han Zhenxi was playing a "bitter trick".First, he scolded the three of Chicheng for nothing, seemingly standing on the same front as the director, but he was actually pleading for the juniors.

Besides, which director is willing to temporarily replace the actors when the new play has already started?In addition to wasting time, money is also a problem.These actors were carefully selected by the crew over and over again. A lot of energy has been spent in the early stage. If they are not particularly liked, the crew will not easily nod and sign the contract with the actors.

In other words, the director has confidence in the strength of the actors!Unless the actor is suffering from serious injuries and is unable to continue filming.Otherwise, from the director's mouth, the words "changing actors" would not be easily heard.

In fact, Jin Zongchang's original intention was to frighten these three ignorant children.The reason why I am angry is also that their way of "asking for help" is because they don't trust the crew, the script and even him as the director! "Conditions of Love" has only just started broadcasting, and everything is still unknown. As an actor, he does not think about how to improve his acting skills and memorize his lines, but plays these useless and embarrassing tricks. Jin Zongchang is really angry .

Originally, he wanted to scare the three children, but the words were serious as soon as he uttered them.Jin Zongchang didn't get angry very often, but this sudden outburst scared the entire crew so much that no one came up to persuade him?Jin Zongchang was very depressed.

Fortunately, Han Zhenxi came forward in time to resolve all the embarrassment.Let things finally be satisfactorily resolved.Song Ya suddenly remembered an old Chinese saying, "Jiang is really old and spicy!" Looking at the whole crew, Han Zhenxi is definitely the best candidate to solve the problem.In the end, the director's face was given, and the lessons of the three children were also given. By the way, it also boosted the low morale of the whole crew, making everyone's hearts suddenly closer and trusting each other more. Laying a solid foundation in advance can be said to kill three birds with one stone!

After the "storm" subsided, the filming work got back on track.

Time flies, and on April 4th, "Conditions of Love" was broadcast for a whole month.

Everything was just as Song Ya expected. With the gradual unfolding of the plot, the ratings of "Conditions of Love" rose strongly in the fifth week. The final data of agb Korea's statistics reached 34.6%, ranking second in the ratings at the same time. Second only to "Bali Island Story".

Jin Baora wept with joy, holding Song Ya with snot and tears: "Yami, your good day is finally here!"
