Chapter 33 Ratings
Thursday, March 6, 2008, the weather was cloudy.
Today is the day when the second episode of the TV series is broadcast. In this episode, my first appearance will be in the film. I really don’t know what the difference will be for me on TV?
The ratings of the first episode of yesterday have also come out. Although the data is not very satisfactory, it only received a national rating of 13.4% and a Seoul rating of 15.2%, the director and the starring are full of confidence in the drama. Although in fact, I have not participated in the drama too much, I still hope that the drama can receive praise and win the recognition of the audience.
But to be honest, yesterday's episode was filled with many stars. Even Sister Hyo-ri came to play a guest appearance, as well as the guest appearances of seniors Han Caiying and Seniors Xu Qingshi, and even seniors f.t.island have appeared. Sure enough, seniors f.t.island have won the hearts of a large number of fans.
I don’t know what my appearance will look like today? Will there be something wrong with the performance? I have been thinking about these things all day today, and even my own shooting is a bit distracted. Fortunately, the other leading actors are a little uneasy, and the directors are the same, so nothing big has happened yet.
Forget it, it’s time to get to the point, don’t write anymore, go watch the playback.
...
Seeing that time was about to come, Kang Gou-woo threw down his pen and hurried to Park Yong-ha's lounge to watch the second episode played today.
The first episode will make the actors and staff nervous about the premiere ratings, because it will set the audience of the TV series to adjust the audience, which will also give a good omen for the future. Therefore, when the first episode was filmed, many popular stars were invited to make guest appearances. However, under the strong suppression of the family drama "Love or Hate", it can get a 13.4% rating, and the staff are also satisfied with this data. However, today's episode also makes everyone full of tension, because the fluctuations in this data represent the audience's feelings and opinions about this TV series.
"Gooyo, you're here." As one of the four leading actors, Park Yong-ha, the lounge he owns is not too big to exaggerate, but it can accommodate more than ten people. In addition to Kang Goyo and others, this lounge is also full of Park Yong-ha's assistants. However, because during this period, everyone can see that Park Yong-ha's love for Kang Goyo is not only for helping and guiding in acting, but even at the end of his work, he will take the initiative to invite Kang Goyo to have a drink. Therefore, Park Yong-ha's assistants also become familiar with Kang Goyo.
Regardless of Lin Runyeon and senior Park Yongxia's assistants discussing the topics between women, Kang Gou-woo naturally sat next to Park Yong-ho.
"Brother, how much do you think the ratings will increase this time? Will 5%?" Kang Gou-woo asked Senior Park Yongxia with a look of Xiyi.
Park Yong-ha laughed, "Why don't you guess whether the ratings will drop?"
Jiang Wuyou curled her lips, "It's not a TV series that I starred in, so why do you say that the ratings are declining. This is the one you starred in. Do I want to curse the TV series that you starred in is not good?"
"You boy." Park Yongxia rubbed Kang Goo-woo's head in a doting way. "Okay, I believe you will increase. Do you want to bet? I guess it will reach 16% this time." As he said, Park Yongxia pulled out a thousand yuan note from his wallet.
"Brother!" Jiang Wuyou was a little helpless. Although the increase of 1% was considered an increase in ratings, using this data that would obviously win to gamble with him for 10,000 yuan, isn't it obvious that he bullies people? "Brother, aren't you trying to win? Isn't you just eating a few more meals for you? You're so stingy."
Park Yong-ha grinned, pointed at the TV screen, and signaled Kang Go-woo to concentrate on watching TV.
As the plot develops and a burst of tense music, Jiang Wuyou began to realize that his first appearance was about to appear.
In a busy TV series photography venue, extras were painting makeup, and the staff in the play were also placing equipment in turn, everything seemed so nervous and orderly. Suddenly, the character played by Jiang Wuyou picked up the documents in his hand and pretended to beat the staff standing opposite him, just like a drop of water dropping into a hot but calm oil pan, suddenly bursting out a sense of tension.
When he got here, Park Yong-ha suddenly asked, "Wuwoo, how do you think you are doing this?"
"Huh?" Without talking about Park Yong-ha's sudden question, Kang Goo-woo thought about it and replied, "I think it's okay, brother."
"That's it," Park Yong-ha thought about it and explained in another way, "So, how do you think you play the role?"
Looking at the scene where Jiang Wuyou called in the TV screen, Jiang Wuyou thought about the description in the script and replied: "The description in the script is to reflect an anxious mood. I think I have shown it."
Park Yong-ha nodded and agreed, and said, "Then let's analyze it in detail. First of all, this plot is when you suddenly hear news that an actor who should have arrived at 3 o'clock may miss the shooting of the day, and this shooting is still a scene that must be completed on the same day. Therefore, the first thing you need to do is to find a corner and call to confirm immediately. OK, let's take a look at your performance here. When making a call, what you need is an urgent emotion, and the urge to curse."
Jiang Wuyou carefully savored Park Yongxia’s explanation and nodded as if she had some insight.
After drinking a sip of water, Park Yong-ha pointed to the TV and continued, "Look at your acting skills just now. When an actor acts, the form of expression is nothing more than language and expressions, and of course the action will also be helpful. For your scene, it is mainly expressions to express your sense of urgency. However, looking at your performance, it is too dull. Just as I just explained, the actor cannot arrive on time for shooting, so all the shooting progress must be delayed. By the way, when you participate in a show, TV series, etc. in the future, don't be late. Otherwise, no matter how big the reason you have, it will leave a bad impression in the hearts of others. Back to the topic, your expressions seem to be that you don't care whether the other party will arrive on time. Your performance is like a puppet, purely for speaking the dialogue.
Therefore, what I want to say is that what you need to do is to integrate into the role you want to perform. Think about the causes and consequences of his scene, understand his pressure, and understand his emotions. In this movie, although you are just playing a supporting role, you will always have the day to play the leading role. You must cultivate your abilities from now on to succeed earlier.”
Listening to Senior Park Yongxia's endless talk and his personal understanding, Kang Gou-woo greedily absorbed and asked from time to time. Instead, the TV series became a decoration, and only the two of their assistants continued to watch it. However, this was understandable. Kang Gou-woo mainly wanted to watch his first TV series performance, while Park Yong-ho was only interested in the ratings, so it was normal for them to have no interest in TV series.
During the filming the next day, Kang Gou-woo lost 10,000 won. Unexpectedly, Park Yong-ha would have guessed so accurately, and the ratings reached just 16.1%, which made him earn. However, such ratings are not easy for directors and script writers to accept. The 15% first broadcast and 16% second broadcast can be said to be purely because of the actor's own star effect, and the real ratings test will only be known from the next third and fourth episodes.
Director Shin Woo-cheol and writer Kim Eun-sook, who were under pressure from ratings, also made drastic changes to the script. In order to cater to the audience, Director Shin Woo-cheol had to reshoot some shots, which included some content from Kang Go-woo himself.
Although it will be very tiring to keep repeating the filming, after constantly learning new knowledge from senior Park Yong-ha, training himself through the continuous reshoots in the past few days has greatly improved Kang Go-woo's acting skills. Even Lee Fan-soo, who had an opponent with Kang Go-woo, had a good first impression of Kang Go-woo. Although he has not reached the perfect level, as a newcomer who has participated in the filming of a TV series for the first time, from constantly reshooting to being able to avoid being called "cut" by the director, this kind of progress is easier to get from the praise of the staff, and the impression will be deeper.
As expected, after everyone's joint efforts, the ratings of the third and fourth episodes have indeed increased significantly, directly rising to 20%, and have also become a dark horse in public opinion. Although the first and second episodes are due to the star effect, the quality of the third and fourth episodes, as well as the comments of the media and audience, can be said to have made everyone really feel relieved.
Perhaps it was because the audience's recognition inspired everyone's enthusiasm. In short, during the subsequent filming process, the set was always full of laughter and joy. In the happy atmosphere, the number of times ng was gradually reduced (no.good, when the actors had problems in shooting and needed to reshoot). The improvement of shooting efficiency and quality once again consolidated the ratings of the TV series. The ratings that have been maintained at 20% and have steadily increased not only made SBS TV station happy, but also allowed the actors of the TV series to gain more opportunities and recognition for appearances, which gave President Kim Kwang-soo and Kwon Eun-hyuk an opportunity.
