Chapter 42 The Battle for Ratings
"Don't worry, Aunt Ying, I dare not say much. It's more than enough to introduce some flat shots to Baolan." Lin Youmin agreed confidently.
"Thank you oppa!" Quan Baolan narrowed his eyes and thanked him.
Although she rejected the help of her parents, she did not reject Lin Youmin's help.
Because they are of the same generation, Quan Baolan met Lin Youmin a few years ago, otherwise Lin Youmin would not have taken such a big deal even if he helped.
After all, this is Quan Baolan's own connection.
The barbecue was spent in a happy atmosphere. Kwon Yuri seemed to be embarrassed by the embarrassment when she met Jeon Bolan. From beginning to end, she just cared about the barbecue on the plate and said nothing.
On the contrary, Zheng Xiujing talked to Quan Baolan from time to time.
When paying the bill, Lee Mi-young went there. In South Korea, it is normal for elders to pay the bill, not to mention that she just asked Lin Youmin to take care of her daughter.
Lin Youmin naturally accepted it calmly, so as not to feel uneasy and mistakenly think that he didn't take it seriously and did not do his best.
Human relationships are also a science! Lin Youmin has learned a lot in recent years.
...
On October 18 and 19, the aggressive "Fantasy Couple" and "Huang Zhenyi" fought each other again.
An ambitiously trying to get the other party off the horse, and a tenacious guarding his throne with the highest ratings in the same period.
In the third episode, the ratings of "Fantasy Couple" rose again, with an average rating of 19.7%. In the fourth episode, it rose slightly, and with a domineering and strong performance of 20.3%, it officially crossed the threshold of 20% and was promoted to a popular TV series.
The highest ratings of "Fantasy Couple" instantly appeared in the scene where Lin Youmin was forced to kiss in front of her childhood sweetheart by Han Yiser, reaching a horror rating of 24.5%!
It is far exceeding the 23.1% maximum moment value of "Huang Zhenyi" in these two episodes.
Although he is still the second place in the same period in terms of ratings and loses to "Huang Zhenyi", he has already vaguely suppressed the other party.
Although the starting point of "Huang Zhenyi" is high, the ratings are not growing fast. Since its launch, it has gradually been caught up by "Fantasy Couples". The ratings of the latest two episodes are 21.4% and 20.9% respectively.
More and more media and audiences are beginning to pay attention to this ratings battle of Shuimu drama!
This is a war between urban emotional dramas and costume dramas!
This time is also a great opportunity to test the audience market and taste!
Relatively speaking, the younger generation prefers "dream couples", while older people may prefer "Huang Zhenyi".
To put it bluntly, the winners of this ratings battle will lead the broadcast type of Korean TV series that will be broadcast in the early stages of the next year.
Even so, the entire "Fantasy Couple" crew became more relaxed and relaxed, and was not affected by outside comments.
No matter what, they can be said to have succeeded now. Next, just try their best to take pictures of the remaining parts!
However, Kim Sang-ho still attached great importance to it. In the past few days, he took out the parts he had edited before and studied them again. He took some shots and deleted some crude shots in a hurry, striving to make the Ministry of Justice TV series more compact and exciting.
On October 25, before the fifth episode started, I don’t know who learned about Lin Youmin’s birthday. The entire crew held a small birthday celebration for him on this day!
Even the Hong sisters who had been busy revising the script for a long time and had not appeared, temporarily put down their work and came to the set to send blessings to Lin Youmin.
From directors, screenwriters, starring, and ordinary staff, they are particularly cheerful because of the success of "Dream Couple".
Even director Kim Sang-ho had a few drinks with Lin You-min at this party.
Before the character of the heroine Zhao Anna played by Han Yeser was released, the success of the whole drama was inseparable from Lin Youmin's unique position.
This is true whether it is the identity and topic outside the play or the performances that are dedicated and hard to perform in the play.
This birthday party was held until 12 o'clock, and it gradually dispersed after helping Lin Youmin cut the birthday cake.
Quan Eun-chan, who has been busy recently, also came to pick up Lin Youmin, who was a little drunk.
If you want to have fun, alcohol is naturally indispensable. As long as you don’t delay the next day’s work, Kim Sang-ho will not pursue it, turn a blind eye.
As for his two assistants, Park Seung-mi and Lee Hoon, Lin Youmin kindly gave them a day off because of their birthdays.
"Yu Min, don't drink so much in the future. You will have a bad alcohol tolerance. Not to mention delaying work, if you are occasionally photographed and exposed, it will be unfavorable to your image." Quan Encan looked at the back seat of the car. Lin You Min, who was drunk and hazy, frowned and said earnestly.
"I have a sense of responsibility, Brother Euncan." Lin Youmin leaned against the car seat, and although his face turned a little red, his consciousness was still very clear.
Kwon Eun-chan is his full-time agent. No matter what he thinks, he will start from his interests, or in other words, the interests of the two are one.
What's more, after knowing each other for so many years, I know very well about the other person's character, so naturally I won't become impatient just by a few advices.
"If you can't drink or push it off, then come to me and I'll help you stop the wine."
Since ancient times, South Korea has been deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Among them, the best ones are Confucian culture, as well as wine culture.
Above the wine table, it is always the best place to promote friendship, talks, cooperation and exchanges.
To persuade people to drink and stop wine, it will come into being.
"Brother, you said, I'm becoming famous now? It seems a bit too fast..." Lin Youmin shook his waist and head, and he couldn't believe it.
Kwon Eun-chan pondered for a while, smiled and sighed, "Yes! You are no longer the unknown model, you are the rising popularity star in the entertainment industry. You will still be the superstar in the entire South Korea and even Asia in the future!"
"There is always an unreal feeling, it feels... like everything is too empty..." Lin Youmin expressed his sigh softly. Maybe he would only say this feeling when he was half drunk.
It's like a person walking halfway through the road, but encountering a hazy fog. Although it feels like he is in a fairyland, he can't see the distance or the original road.
He was like this at this moment, a little confused and hesitant, as if the so-called "popularity" would disappear after a night.
"Why do you think so? Now all this is achieved through your unremitting efforts! Think about it, who will have such appearance and acting skills like you, but can still calm down to hone yourself and wait for opportunities."
Quan Eun-chan comforted Lin Youmin and brought out all the words he could think of in his mind.
Chapter completed!
