032 Debut
Recommended song: Fan Weiqi----Departure
New Year's Day in Seoul seems a bit deserted, not only because of the regulations that firecrackers cannot be set off, but also because countries in the Asian circle are accustomed to following the Chinese tradition and celebrating the old calendar. Therefore, New Year's Day in the new calendar is not that important and relatively calm.
In 2006, Li Junyi's life still did not change much and continued to spend her time playing. Lin Yuner said that she received very excellent evaluations in the test and received strong praise from the teacher, which also made Li Junyi very happy.
Immediately, a very commemorative day for Lee Junyi came. On January 10th, the TV series "Palace", which was prepared for nearly five months and had been in the show for nearly three months, was officially broadcast on MBC TV at 9 o'clock in the evening. This means that Lee Junyi finally made his debut.
On the 10th day, everyone was still playing the show, and there seemed to be no difference, but everyone, including the staff, knew that today was the day of the premiere, and it would definitely not be an ordinary day.
"Grace, grace!"
"Ah, I'm here, I'll come soon." Hearing the voice calling him, Yoon Eun-hye hurriedly stood up and subconsciously sorted out her clothes, but her expression was still a little absent-minded.
"Haha, don't worry, I'm not calling you to film." Li Junyi walked over with a smile.
When Yoon Eun Hye found out that the person coming was actually Lee Jun-yi, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It's you." She sat down again, "What's wrong? It's our turn?"
"No, the director said that everyone should rest for an hour before starting, and everyone sat down and chatted." Lee Jun-yi sat down next to Yoon Eun Hye, "Why, are you worried about the premiere ratings?"
Yoon Eun Hye nodded. As a singer who transformed into an actress and was the leading female lead, she took more pressure than anyone else. After success, there were constant words of praise; when failure, almost all media would ask her why a singer wanted to challenge her acting skills. The news media is so realistic, and this is more obvious in the entertainment industry.
Lee Junyi did not give a word to comfort Yoon Eun-hye. This pressure cannot be resolved in just a few words. What Lee Junyi needs is just to be with Yoon Eun-hye and wait for the result to come out. Moreover, for Lee Junyi, the pressure is not small. This is his debut work, and a good start will definitely have a decisive effect. So Lee Junyi tried to divert Yoon Eun-hye's attention so that she would not be so worried. She pointed at the staff gathered not far away with a novelty, and said with a smile, "Everyone is betting on the premiere ratings, don't you participate?"
"Gambling?" Yoon Eun Hye finally came back to her senses when she heard such words. She looked at Lee Junyi in surprise, and then followed Lee Junyi's gaze. Unexpectedly, even director Huang Ren Lei and screenwriter Ren Yin'e were there.
As soon as the words were finished, the staff walked towards Lee Jun-yi and Yoon Eun-hye, and Kim Jeong-hoon and Song Ji-hyo also came over.
"Zun Yi, Eun Hui, guess what the premiere ratings are?" The staff asked with a smile, holding a small notebook in his hand making records. Seeing the surprise on Yoon Eun Hui's face and curious Li Jun Yi, the staff explained casually, "This is a tradition of the crew, not a real gambling. Everyone will use a little money to bet on the premiere ratings, which is considered to be a good start for TV series. The money won will be used when the crew has a dinner together, so it is just a game that represents luck. Almost every crew will do this."
This routine is extremely novel for newbies like Li Junyi.
"Jun Yi, Eun Hui, what do you think it will be?" Kim Jeon-hoon asked with a brilliant look on his face, "I guessed 13.3%.
"You are too conservative. I think it should be at least 15%." Yoon Eun Hye said uncertainly.
"I'm not conservative. Ji Hyo is less pressured than me. How much do you think?" Kim Jeon-hoon looked back at Song Ji Hyo and asked.
"It's about the same as you, 12.8%." Song Ji Hyo said embarrassedly. She could see that she had experience in several dramas and was indeed a little lacking in self-confidence.
"Zun Yi, what do you think?" The staff member turned his eyes to Li Jun Yi sitting aside.
Li Junyi lowered her head and thought, "Since I'm asking for a lottery, why don't I just push it higher?" After saying that, Li Junyi showed a big smile, "I think it's 18%.
"Wow, the highest ratings have appeared, the highest ratings have appeared." The staff member looked like a lively treasure and shouted loudly, "Li Zhunyi is 18%, 18%. " His excited voice attracted a burst of shouting from all the staff members next to him.
"Then I'll put 20% down." Huang Renlei's voice came from afar, causing everyone to cheer again.
Regarding the premiere ratings, there are actually certain rules in South Korea, a country with a population of more than 50 million. The premiere ratings are a beginning, and a high starting point means that the chance of rising in the future will be higher and higher. The premiere ratings of those TV series that create ratings records will basically have good results. Of course, some TV series start high and end low, which is an exception. A rating of more than 10% is basically a good start, while those below 10% are not satisfactory. About 12% to 15% are considered a good result, while those above 20% are rare in the history of Korean drama development for so many years. So Lee Jun-yi is 18%, which is indeed a very amazing number. Yoon Eun-hye thinks that 15% is normal.
Of course, the ratings of the premiere are just a premiere. For a TV series, there are many criteria for measuring success, including ratings, advertising sales, peripheral sales, and the added value of actors - including increased pay, script invitations, advertising invitations, etc., the results of a TV series can be seen. The ratings are only part of it. In addition to the premiere ratings, it also includes many parts. For example, the highest ratings of the whole drama, the average ratings of the whole drama, the highest ratings of the single time point, the highest ratings of the region, etc. Therefore, the ratings of the first broadcast are just the beginning, and a high premiere rating is the first step to success.
Today's crew kicked off with a hustle and bustle. After a day, the progress of the show was not fast, and it was even slower than the normal progress. Not only the actors, but also the staff including Huang Renlei were not so focused, and they had more rest time, so the progress only barely maintained the normal shooting weight.
It was only 8:30 in the evening, and today's work was announced to be over. Everyone was guarding the crew's large-screen TV and began to wait for the premiere. Hundreds of people in the crew watched TV series together, which was also a landscape, making people feel like they were watching movies.
The opening of the TV series "Palace" took a lot of thought. The traditional traditional Chinese cursive script and the beautiful palace scenery made the opening full of charm. This TV series depicts a virtual scene, telling the story of the marriage between princes and commoners under the monarchy. So at the beginning of the first episode, it tells the ancient story background of the monarchy, and enters the story with some modern playfulness.
Under the monarchy, the existence of the emperor was natural. As the emperor's condition became more and more serious, the crown prince Li Xin promised the empress dowager to marry a girl who had already made a marriage contract as soon as possible. At this time, the crown prince Li Xin was just a high school student. He understood that as the crown prince, he would not have the right to choose his personal preferences. Before he recognized the marriage, Li Xin secretly dated a girlfriend Min Xiaolin, but Min Xiaolin refused Li Xin's proposal. Now this made Li Xin feel lucky, because he understood that once he married into the palace, he would no longer have his own personality, and everyone would become a doll who lost himself. Instead of letting his loved one encounter such a situation, it would be better to find a girl he didn't know, which would make him feel more at ease.
On the other hand, just when Shin Caijing was in trouble, she unexpectedly received a letter from the royal family. At this time, her family realized that the fact that grandpa had been bragging about having a engagement with the royal family was actually true. The "big pie" that fell from the sky made Shin Caijing's family cheer, but Shin Caijing, who was still a high school student, sternly refused the arranged marriage that suddenly came. In the end, her sense of responsibility as the eldest daughter and the family's difficulties made her reluctantly accept the marriage.
14 years ago, Crown Prince Xiaolie died in a car accident. His son Li Lu was ordered by his mother to return to the palace to fight for his throne. With the return of Li Lu, who also had the right to inherit the throne, a stir in the originally peaceful palace. Everyone, including the Queen Mother and the Emperor, believed that the simple Li Lu would not have any ambitions for power and the throne, and was very enthusiastic about his visit, but the queen had already seen through Li Lu's mother's intentions, and the status of her husband and son had been threatened.
At the beginning of the first episode, the relationship between the story is unfolded from the perspective of Shin Caijing, and accidentally broke into the classroom where Li Xin confessed to Min Xiaolin. He also saw the scene of Li Xin being rejected with him, which was considered to have a bond with Li Xin. The appearance of Li Lu, who was like an angel, became a ray of sunshine in Shin Caijing's life.
The story reveals the comic playful and exquisite scenes. The relatively awkward but lively acting skills of several new actors make the characters full of charm. The relationship between the characters is simple and quickly. After an episode, the climax continues, and firmly grasps everyone's sight, making people involuntarily interested in the story.
There was once a statistics that the most adapted fairy tale in the world is "Cinderella". Although it is old-fashioned, it is always popular and is still popular even now. Various Cinderella stories still attract everyone's attention. "Palace" can also be said to be another kind of Cinderella story. In modern society, with the background of the monarchy, and the cute and playful comic style, I believe that a large group will still like it.
When the first episode ended, everyone in the crew applauded at the same time. Although they didn’t know whether it was successful or not, as for these staff members, they were naturally happy to see the finished product they had worked hard for half a year and the quality was of high quality. If they could achieve good results, it would be a recognition of everyone, and everything would have a result tomorrow morning.
The first update is here. Thank you for your rewards, thank you for your voting, hehe.
