Chapter 253: The Rabbit Bites When It's Anxious! [Two-in-one, please subscribe]

South Korean television stations are mainly divided into two categories: free wireless stations such as KBS, SBS, and MBC, and paid cable stations such as tvN, OCN, and JTBC, the platform that broadcast "Goblin's Bride."

Because wireless channels are free, they have a wider coverage and naturally higher ratings. Conversely, cable channels have lower ratings.

Take TV dramas, for example. Over-the-air stations often have dramas with ratings in the tens of percent. Among cable channels, tvN's current highest-rated drama is "Reply 2013," which aired in 1994 and had a peak viewership of 10.431%.

JTBC's highest-rated drama at the moment is "Childless Is Blessing," a special drama planned for its first anniversary aired in 2012, with a peak viewership rating of 10.715%.

As for OCN, because its coverage is too low, there is currently no TV series with a viewership rating of 5%, so there is no need to mention it anymore.

In this day and age, a cable TV drama is considered to be passing if its ratings exceed 1%.

截止到8月10日，三家有线台播出的电视剧里，最高收视率超过1%的只有15部。最高收视率超过2%的只有7部。超过3%的只有四部，超过4%的有3部。

Only one drama exceeded 5%, which was "Oh My Ghost" broadcast on tvN TV station, with the highest reaching 1%.

As for JTBC's highest-rated TV series this year, it is "The Housemaids," which is currently ranked third, with a maximum of 4.725%.

Based on the above data and recent promotional feedback, JTBC predicts that the premiere of "Goblin's Bride" will reach 3%-3.5% viewership ratings, while Star Entertainment predicts 3.3%-3.7%.

So what will be the specific result?

At nine o'clock in the evening, the first episode of "Goblin's Bride" was aired.

At the same time, JTBC TV station chairman, Lee Chi-hyun's adoptive uncle Kim Bo-hun, Star Entertainment chairman Lee Chi-hyun, president Kim Jun-hyun, director Lee Eung-bok, actors Lim Yoona, Bae Joo-hyun, Ham Eun-jung, Lim Ju-hwan and more than a dozen others gathered in the JTBC conference room, watching the premiere while checking netizens' feedback on their phones.

【Ahhhh! Yoona is so handsome! 】

[Is this still Lim Yoona? She... How did he become so handsome? It was so heartbreaking when he was executed by the king!]

[Yoona's sister is Jiyeon? Really! They're both so flat! Hahaha!]

[Irene is totally a high school student! ]

[Holy crap! Im Yoona and Bae Joohyun look so good together? I'm a huge fan!]

[Although Irene's acting skills are a bit poor, does a face like this really need good acting skills? ]

[Hahaha! Soo-jung is Irene's mother. The mother-in-law and son-in-law look alike! Hahaha!]

【Ji-yeon’s guest appearance as the princess is so beautiful! 】

[Sibah! Im Yoona, Bae Joo-hyun, Krystal Jung, Park Ji-yeon, four female idols appeared in just one episode. Can't they find some serious actors?]

[The plot is good and the story is novel, but the actors' acting skills are questionable.]

[It's truly worthy of being a TV series produced by Star Entertainment. The production quality is even higher than "Gonjiam"! ]

Is this the TV series with a 20 billion yuan budget? I love it!

[No! The first episode is already over? It's only been an hour! Hurry up and upload the second episode!]

Overall, netizens' positive reviews for "Goblin's Bride" far outweigh the negative ones.

Of course, this is partly due to the efforts of the fan circle, but if the quality of "Goblin's Bride" is not good enough, it would be difficult to achieve good results just by relying on the praise of the fan circle.

Yes, good grades.

Fifteen minutes after the first episode of "Goblin's Bride" was aired, its premiere ratings came out, with a rating of 6.540% in Seoul and 5.322% nationwide.

Upon hearing this data, everyone in the conference room except Li Zhixuan was stunned.

Wow! The 5.322% viewership rating directly set a record for JTBC's highest viewership this year!

The key point is that this is just the ratings for the first broadcast!

Take "Oh My Ghostly Tribe", the drama with the highest ratings so far this year, for example. Its highest ratings were 7.337%, but its premiere ratings were only 2.654%.

Now the ratings of the first broadcast of "Goblin's Bride" have exceeded 5%. If the word of mouth does not collapse, there will be no problem for its highest ratings to exceed 10%. If it tries hard, it may even break 15%!

Judging from the current netizens' comments on "Goblin's Bride", the reputation is definitely good. In other words, "Goblin's Bride" is basically a success!
"Hahaha! Great, great! Zhixuan, uncle is really grateful to you this time! This year, JTBC will definitely surpass tvN! Hahaha!"

Before "Goblin's Bride", the top two cable TV dramas in terms of ratings were produced by tvN, and JTBC could only rank third.

"Goblin's Bride" has just started airing, and its ratings have already reached the second place of the year. It is very likely that after the second episode is aired tomorrow night, its ratings will reach the first place of the year.

What does this achievement represent? It represents advertising revenue! It represents the growth of subscribers! It represents the increase in the company's stock price! It represents the money rolling in!
How could Kim Bo-hun not be happy?
As for the others, they were naturally very happy too. Especially for idol actors like Im Yoona, the successful premiere of "Goblin's Bride" meant that the audience was still very accepting of them, and they were naturally relieved.

"Let's go! It's my treat tonight, let's all go out and celebrate."

Seeing Kim Bo-hun excitedly offering to treat everyone, Lee Chi-hsuan quickly said, "Forget it, Uncle. It's getting late today, and you're not young anymore. You should go home and rest early. As for the celebration, we should wait until 'Goblin's Bride' is over. We can have a big celebration party then. We'll make it lively and give tvN a good slap on the wrist."

"Hahaha! Okay, I'll listen to you."

The words "make tvN angry" touched Kim Bo-hun's heart, so he happily agreed to Li Zhixuan's proposal.

"Then we'll leave first."

"Well, be careful on the road."

"Got it. Goodbye, uncle and cousin."

"President Jin, President Jin, goodbye."

After saying goodbye to Jin Baoxian and his son, Li Zhixuan and his group came to the parking lot, got in their cars and went home.

But Li Zhixuan just sent Yunxuan and the other two to the car, and then said: "Okay, be careful on your way home, and send me a message when you get home."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuner immediately asked: "Aren't you going home?"

"I'm not going home tonight."

Pei Zhuxuan: "Who are you looking for?"

"I've been in China for three or four days and have a lot of work to do. I'm staying at the company tonight."

"Let us accompany you."

"If you guys accompany me, how can I still be in the mood to work?"

Yunxuan and the other man looked at each other and both felt that the scumbag was right.

"Well, don't work too late and rest early."

"Ok, I know."

After watching Yunxuan and the other two leave, Li Zhixuan got in the car and went to the company. It was already half past ten when he arrived at the company.

On the other side, after returning home, Yunxuan and the others called out Kim Taeyeon and Jessica Jung who were hiding in the bedroom cloakroom.

"He's at the company tonight dealing with a backlog of work and won't be back."

"Not coming back? Then wouldn't that be a waste of preparation?"

"If he doesn't come back tonight, he won't come back tomorrow? It won't be in vain."

"Oh, okay." At seven in the morning, Li Zhixuan got up after a five-hour sleep. After washing his face in the bathroom, he returned to his office chair and continued working.

An hour later, there was a knock on the office door.

"Tuk~Tuk Tuk~"

"Enter!"

The door opened with a click, and Pei Zhuxuan walked in with breakfast in her hand. Then she put the bag on the table and asked with concern while taking out breakfast, "What time did you go to bed last night?"

"Two o'clock."

"So late?" Pei Zhuxuan frowned slightly, and then continued to ask with some dissatisfaction: "What time did you get up?"

"Seven o'clock."

"Only five hours of sleep?! How can your body handle that?"

Seeing Pei Zhuxuan getting anxious, Li Zhixuan took a bite of the vegetable dumpling, then reached out and put his arm around her waist, pulling her over and placing her on his lap. He smiled and explained, "Why can't you stand it? When you're busiest, you can't even sleep five hours a day, right?"

Pei Zhuxuan pouted, picked up the seafood porridge and fed the scumbag a mouthful, saying: "You are different from us. We are busy physically, mainly consuming physical energy. But whether you are handling company affairs or writing scripts, you are consuming mental energy. If you don't get enough rest, can your brain bear it?"

"At noon, we had hotpot and cooked some brains to make up for it."

Seeing the scumbag smiling and not taking it seriously at all, Bae Joo-hyun was too lazy to say anything. She just secretly planned to urge the scumbag to rest more often in the future.

Then, while feeding the scumbag porridge, Bae Joo-hyun said, "This is breakfast made by Yoona-unnie. I didn't want to disturb your rest so I sent it here just now. Yoona-unnie brought her boyfriend home today, and Yoona-unnie was called back home by Uncle Lin, so she didn't come."

"Oh! The eldest son-in-law is here?"

The eldest son-in-law? Then who is the second son-in-law? The damn scumbag!
When Pei Zhuxuan heard what the scumbag said, she remembered that Li Zhixuan and Lin Yuna had gone home to meet their parents, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

Although she didn't show it, Li Zhixuan guessed it, so he kissed Pei Zhuxuan on the delicate face and asked with a smile: "When will you take me home?"

"Hate it~" Pei Zhuxuan said coquettishly, wiped the rice crumbs from her face, and thought for a moment before answering: "After the tenth fried chicken shop opens."

"it is good."

Bae Joo-hyun was thinking that the first fried chicken restaurant had not yet opened, so who knows how long it would take for the tenth one to open.

But Li Zhixuan felt that everything is difficult at the beginning. As long as the first store is managed well, the subsequent chain stores can be opened quickly.

As for going home with Bae Joo-hyun to meet her parents, Li Zhixuan actually didn't care, but considering Bae Joo-hyun's feelings, he felt that he still had to go once.

"What work do you have today?"

"I have nothing to do in the morning. I have to go to JTBC to record a talk show in the afternoon."

"Then stay here with me in the morning."

"Well, that's what I planned."

After a while, Li Zhixuan finished his meal and continued to work. Pei Zhuxuan made him a cup of tea and then sat on the sofa to accompany him silently.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Zhixuan saw that it was time to go to work, so he pressed the pager on his desk and said, "Yuana, bring me the documents that have accumulated over the past few days."

"Yes, President."

Soon, the office door was pushed open, and Zheng Min-ah walked in with a small pile of file bags or envelopes, and saw Bae Joo-hyun sitting on the sofa at a glance.

Her too?!

Of course, Bae Joo-hyun also saw Jung Min-ah.

The two looked at each other, and Pei Zhuxuan stood up with a smile on her face: "So many documents? Let me help you."

Seeing Pei Zhuxuan reaching out to help her get it, Zheng Minya quickly shook her head and smiled apologetically, "Don't bother Miss Irene, I can do it."

As she spoke, she quickly delivered the document to Li Zhixuan's desk, and then respectfully asked, "President, do you have any other instructions?"

Li Zhixuan smiled and asked, "Did you have a good rest yesterday?"

Ok? !

Bae Joo-hyun raised her eyebrows slightly, surprised but also felt it was quite reasonable.

Zheng Minya was delighted and nodded shyly, saying, "Very good."

Li Zhixuan nodded and said, "I'm glad you've had a good rest. I'm out of fruit here. Go buy some. Buy all the seasonal fruits. Don't forget to buy a Musang King durian."

what?
I thought you cared about me, but it turns out you were just trying to get me to work? Humph! Dog boy!

No matter what she thought in her heart, Zheng Minya did not dare to complain on the surface, and could only nod and say: “Yes, I’ll go right away.”

After Zheng Minya left, Pei Zhuxuan walked up to the scumbag, smiled slightly and reached out to gently lift his chin: "Small shirt, hip skirt, curvy figure, flaming red lips, you found a good secretary."

Li Zhixuan reached out and hugged Pei Zhuxuan in his arms, then rubbed her forehead lovingly and explained softly: "She is a spy, I have to stay by her side."

"That's it."

Pei Zhuxuan understood instantly, but still asked with a little jealousy: "Have you slept together?"

Li Zhixuan shook his head: "I didn't think she was a serious person, so I didn't dare to do anything."

Pei Zhuxuan was no longer jealous at this point, and then she hugged Li Zhixuan's neck and acted coquettishly: "It's really hard for you."

"Uh...what do you mean?"

"With so many women and so many jobs, you still remember that I love durian."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhixuan's eyes widened in surprise and he asked, "Ah? You like durian?"

Bae Joo-hyun: (_)
To be honest, for a moment she really doubted her own wishful thinking.

"Hahaha!"

Li Zhixuan was very happy for a while, then he hugged Pei Zhuxuan and said, "When two people are together, isn't it that you think about me and I think about you? This is the only way to last."

Pei Zhuxuan raised the corners of her lips and smiled happily. She looked into the scumbag's eyes and said softly, "If we can live like this for the rest of our lives, it doesn't really matter whether we get married or not."

Hearing this, Li Zhixuan reached out and gently pinched the tip of her nose, teasingly saying, "Now that you say that, if I really marry Yoona, you'll be unhappy again."

Just know it, why say it out loud?!

"Ah!" Bae Joo-hyun opened her mouth and bit the scumbag's finger.

Li Zhixuan quickly retracted his hand: "Haha! A rabbit bites when it's angry, right?"

"Ah! I'll bite you to death!"

"Hmm...are you serious about biting it?"

"Well...it's okay to be casual."
