As the World Cup is in full swing, Li Xiaole's plan has played a role. Almost only in just one day on June 9, "My Girl" became the most well-known TV series in South Korea and even Asia.

The average ratings rebounded to 18.4 percent, and the highest ratings broke through the big mark, reaching 22.8, which shocked the KBS internal lifting platform. No one could have thought that "My Girl" would actually increase its ratings during the World Cup.

You should know that during the World Cup, the remote control is in the hands of fans at home. Moreover, this World Football Cup is the first time that it is hosted in Asia, and South Korea is the host. All Koreans are crazy about it and there is no room for TV series to survive. The other two TV series even have a luxury of 10% viewership ratings, but "My Girl" exceeds 20%! This makes everyone feel unbelievable.

No one noticed that it was director Li Xiaole who was quietly controlling everything behind the scenes. First of all, he asked no member of the crew to accept interviews. Even the senior executives of KBS would never respond to the inquiries. The behind-the-scenes footage was very simple, with no advertisements or endorsements, and they were not promoting "predicting the World Cup" and "score predictions". Not to mention promotion, there was no special information on the World Cup on the webpage.

The entire behind-the-scenes at the end of the filming is just a funny conversation between the actors and interesting scenes in the filming of the series. The conversation about the score only took a few seconds. If you don't listen carefully, you won't notice it at all.

Without a clear purpose, those fans think that this matter is becoming more and more magical... They keep discussing whether the Korean team's game against the United States will be tied 1:1 on the Internet, on the fan bar, the football square, and even anyone they meet.

The fans who discussed "Zhu Yuling's prediction" did not realize that they promoted "My Girl" in every discussion. KBS's forum block that originally discussed the plot of the series has almost become a special area for World Cup discussions due to the registration of a large number of fans.

Of course, the sports program teams of the three major TV stations, those editors with rich experience in market feedback, quickly realized the popularity of this topic, and added a similar prediction link to their own football review programs as soon as possible.

However, the difference between the guests they invited was from the retired stars and retired coaches at the beginning, each program team began to model "My Girl" and invite some beautiful actresses as predictors, using their mouths to tell the results our football experts had already predicted, and they also hope to join in the fun.

Of course, the program team hopes to follow the trend. This is the most common method used by most TV people with weak professional ethics. They do not need risks. As long as they predict a different score from the "predictive girl" Zhu Yuling, if they happen to guess correctly, then the halo on Zhu Yuling's head will be grafted onto other actresses. If it is not right, they will not lose much, and just make it an entertainment topic.

But after the highly anticipated match between the Korean team and the United States on the 10th, all the program teams who followed the trend were disappointed, because the Korean team actually tied 1-1 with the United States, just like Zhu Yuling's prediction.

This result not only made Zhu Yuling's goddess aura soar, but also caused other TV stations to invite "new goddesses" and all of them to get back their prototypes.

The result of this draw in this game was actually expected, and even if the result was guessed, it would not be particularly magical. However, if the correct deeds of continuously predicting the score before, the nature would be completely different.

To use a line that lets the bullets fly away, "What is surprise!? This is fucking called surprise!"

Those sports media smelled the news point in this matter and began to report the news. Even the Sports Weekly, which is far away in China, showed a small section that published a "Korean actress's God's Prediction Score".

In China, Chinese fans who learned the news have responded to this news online: "Korean players are so sexy again~ Everything is theirs. Even the king of football Pele has to grab the job of crow mouth, and South Korea has won Portugal... Damn~ I predict China will win this championship!" "The Korean team is going to be shady, and there is hope for the group to qualify, but even if the referees take care of them, their level is still a waste, and there is no hope of playing Portugal."

During the process of multi-party public opinion on the ending prediction of "My Girl" and criticizing more than praise, Li Xiaole maintained his usual cold attitude, and did not respond in a manner that was not related to his own affairs. He just led the crew to continue filming, as if all this had nothing to do with him.

Of course, many media colleagues suspect that this incident was simply forged, and it was a trick of KBS to promote his TV series. They believe that KBS must have hired professional footballers to analyze the handicaps of major betting websites, thus accurately predicting the scores, and then speaking it through the mouth of a new actress.

Although they thought so, they had no reason to say anything more. The reason was very simple, because Zhu Yuling's prediction was successful every time, and he also predicted that the Korean team would win in the future. If they sang the opposite tune at this time, they would definitely be despised by everyone, and only a fool would do it.

At most, they could only make a statement in the media that "It is better to calculate the horoscope for those who believe in the so-called 'magic' actresses."

So no one cares about the remaining voices of Zhu Yuling. Whether people believe or doubt the attitude, there are also places where fans gather on the Internet, on university campuses, and the number of people participating in the discussion of "My Girl" is increasing significantly.

After a day of filming ended on June 13, Li Xiaole brought a slightly tired crew member back to the restaurant in the KBS building for dinner.

He and Lu Jae-fu, Lee Da-hai, and Yoon Eun-sung sat on the same table and ordered barbecue all over the table. When people were overtired, they really lacked meat. The KBS employees in the restaurant pointed at them from time to time, as if they were saying something behind their backs.

What was particularly eye-catching was that the traitor Cao Zhouyong was having a meal with Lin Dongzhu's new crew, and Lin Dongzhu looked here with a bandage tied with a look of resentment.

"Don't worry about them, let's eat our meal." Li Duohai was in a very good mood these two days. Because the ratings increased, her heart was filled with happiness. She looked like a smile in her clear eyes at any time, which was so beautiful:

"Director, eat more~ You have worked hardest recently." As he said that, he picked up a large piece of roasted tenderloin for Li Xiaole and handed it to his plate.

"Manager Lu, you should eat more." Li Duohai respectfully wrapped a piece of pork belly with lettuce and picked it up with Lu Zaifu bowl with chopsticks.

Lu Zaifu took it with a plate, frowned and raised his glasses, and looked at the people next to him staring at this place, feeling very uncomfortable.

"These people are really polite. They stare at this place like we are rare animals." Yin Enxin was also a little uncomfortable and complained: "Little brother, you should listen to me and ask me to book a French restaurant to let everyone eat quietly. Looking at these disgusting people will affect their emotions~~~"

"Okay, if you transfer your helicopter, I will be treated as a young man who is kept again." Li Xiaole gnawed pork belly and said unhappy. Because of the sequelae of the last incident, he was not gossiped about KBS. It is said that Li Xiaole tied up a Samsung lady, so he was so lawless and had been treated as a young man who was a soft-hearted person.

"Director Li, can I say a few words?" Lu Zaiji said, suddenly put down his chopsticks with a serious face and looked at Li Xiaole.

"Manager Lu, you have dinner first, and you will talk about it after you have something to do." Yin Enxin is most afraid of this old peddler teaching people a lesson with a stern face. Judging from his attitude, you will know that he must be making a big mistake.

"I won't eat anymore, I really don't vomit any words." Lu Zaifu has been holding it in for a long time in the past few days.

"Well, tell me, I'm listening." Li Xiaole was too hungry, and answered indifferently while taking the tenderloin that Li Duohai had picked up for him with a bowl.

"I just want to ask you, Director Li, is that the ending behind the movie your promotional plan?" Lu Zaifu said in a deep voice, straight to the point. Lu Zaifu is not a fool either. Of course, from his usual words and deeds, he can see that Li Duohai doesn't understand football at all. But every time he records the prediction behind the scenes according to the words in Li Xiaole's note. The so-called "Wonderful Actress Prediction Score" is completely an event planned by Li Xiaole.

He had been curious before why Li Xiaole had to choose the World Cup period. Now it seems that the young director had already planned this set of Xiaojiujiu in his mind.

"Manager Lu, that behind-the-scenes is me..." Li Duohai saw that Lu Zaifu was about to get angry, and quickly wanted to take the responsibility on him, but Li Xiaole stopped him with his eyes.

"Since you have asked this, I'll tell you the secret. The behind-the-scenes I had planned to promote the game before the filming started." At this point, Li Xiaole hid it meaninglessly and said with a smile.

Lu Zaifu and Yoon Eun-sung were stunned when they heard this. What did he mean? He had planned it before filming started? He was confident that his TV series would pass the review of the Broadcasting Bureau and KBS? He could be screened during the World Cup. Isn’t he too arrogant?

"Actually, you can think about it." Li Xiaole said while eating: "Although I have achieved a little bit of success in movies, I am just a newcomer in the TV industry, and the actors in our crew do not have enough appeal. Even if we make good works, there will not be too many people know about it. The effect will not be very good based on word of mouth. When the TV station does not pay attention to it, I can only think of a way myself..."

This is the truth. Things in the entertainment industry must be "heart" and things in the entertainment industry must be "art". Only by combining heart and technique can a work achieve great success. Without the support of "art", those who follow his crew members fight to the death every day but cannot get real benefits, which is too heartbreaking. If the works that are praised must be popular, this is his persistent directorial philosophy.

"You said you need publicity, and I completely agree with you." After digesting Li Xiaole's words, Lu Zaifu said in a more serious tone: "But Director Li, have you ever thought that inappropriate publicity methods will bring negative effects, which is not a good thing for you and the future of our entire team."

"What does it mean? Is the publicity wrong?" Yin Enxin widened her beautiful eyes, feeling that this old peddler was a bit unreasonable. Li Xiaole tried her best to make the ratings of "My Girl" improve, and she did something wrong!? This old man is really unreasonable!

"It seems that the result is of course good now." Lu Zaifu said calmly: "But Director Lee, can you guarantee that your prediction will always be accurate?"

"It doesn't matter, if you are wrong, you are wrong~ Anyway, everyone knows through this matter that our goal has been achieved." Yin Enxin rushed to answer.

"Is that true? You now predict that South Korea has won Portugal, which has lifted the appetite of all Korean fans. If the South Korean team really wins, then forget it. If the South Korean team loses, what do you think those fans will react? Are you considering Lee Dahai herself? You are joking about the future of a young actor like her," Lu Zaifu, after all, was experienced and quickly pointed out the real hidden danger.

Yoon Eun-xin immediately reacted, yes, now everyone is beginning to believe that the Korean team will win the game against the Portuguese team because of listening to Zhu Yuling's magical predictions. But once the game loses, the Korean team does not qualify in the group, so that huge psychological gap will make Korean fans angry. I am afraid that they will take their anger and think that Zhu Yuling has deceived their relationship and thinks that she is a liar. "My Girl" will go from the most popular drama to the most hated drama.

And more importantly, the angry fans are very likely to treat Lee Dahai as a clown who makes the truth, and from then on, they resent Lee Dahai, causing her image to suffer a fatal blow. Others in the circle will criticize her for this, which will definitely prevent her from being reborn from then on.

Not long ago, the famous singer Liu Chengjun was also a handle by his competitors in the media for joining the US nationality incident and escalated the incident infinitely in the media, which eventually led to Liu Chengjun being banned by the Romance Company of Korea.
