Chapter 335 One point nine

"What are you looking at that makes you so happy?"

On a square table, Wu Shixun, who was sitting diagonally across from him, was chewing something. He glanced here several times with a frown. After seeing Chi Jingyuan, who couldn't help but smile while staring at his phone, he still couldn't help but be curious.

asked.

Yesterday was the premiere day of "Misheng", but Chi Jingyuan did not stay on the set of Peninsula due to schedule issues. He flew to Xia Kingdom Magic City with the company's team yesterday afternoon, and there will be a show here tonight.

The family concert in SMtown needs to be on stage.

Originally, because it coincided with the premiere of the TV series, the company considered letting Chi Jingyuan simply skip the family concert and stay on the set to film.

However, because Tao has been injured and unable to perform, if Chi Jingyuan does not go, EXO can only go on stage as a group of 9 people. Not to mention that many of their stage choreography is in the form of a dance battle between KM and KM, and only 9 people can watch it.

It sounds very strange, and to be honest, they have never practiced the stage formation of 9 people, but they have rehearsed the 10 and 11 people many times.

Coupled with these two points, the crew still had some left over from previous filming and was not very busy, so Chi Jingyuan simply joined in to perform. Anyway, this is SMtown's last performance in 2014.

After arriving at the hotel yesterday, they didn't go out to rest early. They got up early this morning and were having breakfast together in the hotel restaurant.

What several people ordered were relatively traditional things from Xia Kingdom. Each person had a bowl of porridge, a few baskets of steamed dumplings, siu mai and some side dishes. It was really enjoyable to eat.

"Last night, "Misaeng" premiered. He must have been reading the comments on the Internet." After swallowing the food in his mouth, Do Kyung-soo said slowly and understandingly.

He put a piece of Shaomai in the bowl and looked at Chi Jingyuan curiously as he thought of something: "By the way, have the ratings for the first episode come out?"

"Not yet, I guess it will be soon." Chi Jingyuan puffed his mouth and shook his head as he took a sip of porridge.

"I haven't read it yet. What are the reviews?"

"It must be very good, otherwise he can laugh so happily?" Wu Shixun laughed and said something weird.

"It's okay." Chi Jingyuan nodded and did not deny it.

Most of the reviews he just read on the Internet were pretty good. Whether it was about the plot or his acting skills, there was no shortage of praise. There were even some rainbow-tongued Chi Jingyuan who expressed their opinions after seeing it.

A little blush.

However, Zhang Keli’s eyes and expressions in the close-ups of Zhang Keli’s face in the first episode were really on point and very interesting. We filmed them many times during the filming, and I was very emotionally invested in each of them.

I remember that director Jin Yuanxi praised him very much at that time.

Of course, some people were a little disappointed and dissatisfied after watching it, and they also left messages online to express their criticism of the show. Based on the first episode, the main flaws were that 'the main character was always deflated and it was very uncomfortable to watch' and

'The pace is really too slow' above these two points.

This is also a problem set up in the early stage of the plot, and the crew itself understands this, but after discussion and consideration, they decided not to make changes.

After all, no TV series can be liked by everyone. The most important thing is to find your own positioning and audience group, and try to show the best drama within this framework.

Although "Misheng" has only aired its first episode, it has already highlighted a different charm. At least the majority of the positive reviews have given Chi Jingyuan a lot of motivation, making him feel that the crew's efforts in the past two months have been very fruitful.

"Buzz..." When he was halfway through eating, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated and rang. When he saw that the call was from Jin Yuanxi, Chi Jingyuan quickly swallowed the half-eaten bun in his mouth without avoiding it.

The member next to me was sitting there and connected directly.

"Inside, PDnim..."

"Haha good morning good morning."

"I should be able to go back tomorrow morning..."

"The ratings are out? How many..."

"Arathor, I understand...Kang Sangmita."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan looked at the phone screen and paused for a moment as if he was thinking about something. Then he felt the questioning looks from the two people on the other side. He didn't hold back and chuckled and said directly: "1.899 percent.

.”

"So high?" Do Kyung-soo was stunned when he heard it. He couldn't help but uttered surprise while still eating.

Just now on TV, Kim Won-seok told him that the ratings for the first episode have been calculated, with a maximum of 2.4% and an average of 1.899%.

Listening to the other person's tone and tone, you should feel quite satisfied.

To be honest, Chi Jingyuan also feels that the ratings of this premiere are already very good.

The ratings of cable TV stations and free wireless TV stations cannot be compared vertically due to fees. The first broadcast ratings of 1.899%, which is close to 1.9, are already very good for tvN.

As far as tvN's prime drama schedule this year is concerned, "Nine Boys", which was succeeded by "Misheng", had an average ratings of less than 1% after it was aired and can only be called a failure. The previous "Don't Fall in Love"

"Marriage" only had an average rating of 1.9 at the end of the broadcast.

"Cape Boy" starring Yoon Sang-hyun, Sung Dong-il and Kim Ji-won, which was broadcast in April, was also 1.9.

The only tvN drama with good ratings this year was "Emergency Couple" at the beginning of the year. This medical romance drama starring Choi Jin Hyuk and Song Ji Hyo finally reached an average rating of 5%. Although it was discussed and caused

The popularity is not very high, but it can be considered a success.

The hit drama "Reply 1997", which was once linked to Chi Kyung-won and tvN, premiered at 1.5, and eventually grew and set a cable TV ratings record at the time.

Judging from this comparison, "Misheng", which has a slow pace and is inherently unpopular as a workplace drama, is already off to a very good start.

Do Kyung-soo and Oh Se-hun are both insiders and are very interested in the film and television industry, so they naturally know what this premiere rating means. After the two of them smacked their lips and chewed the number, Oh Se-hun looked over and asked: "In the beginning

If it’s so good, isn’t your show going to be popular again?”

"We can't say yet..."

Chi Jingyuan, who was in a good mood, felt that the sky outside was a little bluer, and the bags under Wu Shixun's eyes were much flattering.

He finished the remaining porridge in the bowl with a slurp, and shook his head conservatively: "We still have to wait and see whether the ratings for tonight's second episode will go up or down."

"Yes." Although they were quite convinced in their hearts, the two of them still nodded in agreement. Ratings are difficult to predict. No matter how good the first episode is at the beginning, there is a high chance that it will rise or fall later.

There are also many TV series whose first episode has the highest ratings of the entire series, for example.

Do Kyung-soo and Oh Se-hun also speeded up their eating movements. After clearing the food on the table, the three of them stood up, said hello to the members who were still eating next to them, and then left the restaurant and walked towards the elevator.

I'm going to go back to the room and rest for a few minutes. I'm going to have to go to the venue for a rehearsal in a while.

Just two steps out of the restaurant, they met the four people from Red Velvet walking towards them. Judging from their expressions, they must have just gotten up and came down to eat soon.

I didn't put on much makeup at the moment. I probably just put on foundation or BB cream and ran down. The floors of the hotel were also covered by SM, so I didn't have to worry about being photographed by outsiders.

It's just that without makeup, the complexion and skin of the four people are obviously not very good. It seems that Bae Zhuhyun, who is walking second, has a yellowish complexion, obvious dark circles under her eyes, and a smear on the left side of her mouth.

A small raised pimple appeared.

The other people are not much better, that is, Park Soo-young looks a little better due to his youth, but the dark circles under his eyes are also quite conspicuous.

"So early?"

Jiang Seulqi, who was walking at the front, saw the three people and took the initiative to say hello with a smile.

Behind me, Bae Zhuhyun was about to say hello when she suddenly remembered something and quickly stretched out her left hand to cover her forehead, as if she wanted to shield herself from the sun.

None of them wore much makeup, and she probably knew that her complexion was not very good. Before, she didn't mind walking in the corridor and it was quite natural. But after seeing Chi Jingyuan, she suddenly reacted and wanted to block it reflexively.

.

This action caught Chi Jingyuan's eyes, and he felt that this sister was quite interesting.

When she was a trainee and didn't wear much makeup, she met Chi Jingyuan several times and never saw her caring so much about such things.

Sun Shengwan also waved. She, who was usually full of energy, now seemed to have lost her energy and was wilting.

After red velvet officially returned on the 13th, it has been almost a week since its results can be seen.

Because it is a digital single comeback and no physical album has been released, the overall performance does not depend on sales, but only on the sound source, response and popularity.

As for the music source, since it is a cover song, it was not bad that it exploded that day due to the high attention it had just released. From the next day, its ranking in the major charts has been declining rapidly. In less than a week, it has already

It's almost time to make the list.

Not to mention the response, those who deserve to be criticized continue to be criticized, those who deserve to be criticized continue to be criticized, and the number of fans has not increased much, as if they have never returned at all.

Ledbebe is still the target of ridicule on the Internet, and even because the results of this comeback barely made any splash in the first week, the anti-fans were so happy that they began to scold her even more fiercely.

I feel like the invalid returns are better than they are now.

When we met by chance at the company last month, we could still see Bae Zhuhyun's lively and expectant look while clenching her fists to cheer herself up. But now this cruel reality probably makes several people who have worked hard for this comeback feel a little agitated.

Be lost and desperate.

You will probably feel that no matter how hard you try, it will be of no use.

However, I heard that the company has recently accepted several variety shows for red velvet to promote, and I don’t know if it will be better after the show is released.

After Pei Zhuhyun realized that she didn't look good, she said hello softly and then shrank back and lowered her head the whole time. Her straight black hair hung down from her forehead and sides of her cheeks, covering her face so much that she couldn't see anything clearly.

Seeing them like this, Chi Jingyuan and the others didn't say much. They casually said a word or two to Jiang Seqi and Sun Sheng before preparing to leave.

This time he did not say "Come on" like before. Speaking out about Ledbebe's situation now would not only have little effect, it might even have some counter-effects.

At this time, Pei Zhuhyun and others should be very sensitive.

However, when he was about to pass by, Chi Jingyuan thought about it, turned around and stopped a few people with a smile:

"By the way, the breakfast dumplings and preserved egg and lean meat porridge here are very good, you can try them."

Several other people smiled and nodded when they heard this. Only Pei Zhuxuan seemed to sense something else. He quietly raised his head and glanced at Chi Jingyuan, and then quickly lowered his eyes before he looked over.
