"Goblin's Bride" Episode 11.373 Ratings %! Setting a New Cable TV Drama Ratings Record!

[Lin Yoona's big comeback! From ratings poison to ratings queen!]

[Tara Eunjung makes her first appearance! The fried chicken shop owner is stunning at first sight!]

[Ratings hit new highs, Bae Joo-hyun secures Best Newcomer Award! ]

Lin Zhouhuan posted a message to celebrate! He expressed his gratitude to screenwriter Li Zhixuan and Star Entertainment for giving him the opportunity to star in "Goblin's Bride"!

"The Fabricated City" topped the daily box office charts on its first day, beating out "Gonjiam"!

[It is rumored that Ji Chang Wook had refused to play the leading role in "Goblin's Bride"! ]

["Gonjiam" is about to be released, and the box office has exceeded 11 million! ]

Early in the morning, Li Zhixuan just woke up from Ham Eun-jung's arms, took out his mobile phone, turned on the screen, and a bunch of entertainment news popped up on the news and social software, basically all related to "Goblin's Bride".

There's nothing we can do about it, because "Goblin's Bride" has already set a new record for cable TV drama ratings after just the third episode, it's such a hit!

The TV series was trending, the four main characters were trending, and even Ji Chang Wook was trending.

I don't know who revealed that Ji Chang Wook was originally chosen as the male lead by the crew of "Goblin's Bride", but later because a movie asked him to play the male lead, he declined the starring role in "Goblin's Bride".

If it were just like this, Ji Chang Wook would only be ridiculed for having no vision.

But the funniest thing is, yesterday, August 12th, the movie he starred in, "The Fabricated City," was released. It premiered well, grossing over 150,000 people in a single day. The second-best movie, "Gonjiam," which opened for 29 days, grossed over 20,000 people in a single day, bringing its total box office to over 11 million.

Did it surpass "Gonjiam" in single-day box office? Yeah, it definitely did. But it didn't stop you from dying of laughter!

The most important thing is that whether it is "Gonjiam" or "Goblin's Bride", they are all produced by Star Entertainment.

Just because of a wrong choice, Ji Chang Wook has temporarily become a laughing stock on the entire South Korean Internet. This guy is now extremely regretful and has no tears to cry.

Let’s get back to “Goblin’s Bride”.

In fact, under normal circumstances, "Goblin's Bride" should only be broadcast two episodes per week.

Before introducing this, I have to say one thing, that is, in the Korean Peninsula and Japan, the seven days of a week are not called Monday to Sunday, or Monday to Sunday like in China, but are called Monday, Friday, Saturday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Correspondingly, the dramas broadcast on a certain day are classified into certain categories.

For example, "Goblin's Bride" is broadcast on Mondays and Tuesdays, so it is called a Monday-Tuesday drama.

However, because the ratings of JTBC's current Wednesday-Thursday dramas are really average, only a little over 1%, Kim Bo-hun decided to cancel the show, and Wednesday and Thursday are also used to broadcast "Goblin's Bride".

So far, Kim Bo-hun's decision has been a sure thing. The ratings have hit a new high, JTBC's stock price has surged, advertising revenue has soared, and Star Entertainment's broadcast fees have also increased significantly.

Theoretically speaking, "Goblin's Bride" is now a Monday-Tuesday-Wednesday-Thursday drama.

Money is earned, and the audience is happy to watch four episodes every week.

But there is a problem, that is, South Korean TV dramas are filmed and broadcast at the same time. In this way, if the audience has any dissatisfaction, the crew can make changes during the subsequent filming.

This is why the TV series only airs two episodes per week.

But now, two weeks of content of "Goblin Bride" have been broadcast in one week. If the subsequent shooting progress cannot keep up, it will be gone halfway through. What should we do?
What to do? Speed up the filming process. And speed up the filming process while ensuring quality and quantity!

In order to catch up with the progress, the four protagonists can no longer go to work leisurely every day like before, and can only take a day off occasionally.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, Ham Eun-jung went out to work. Li Zhixuan was not in a hurry. After getting up, he called Zheng Minya and asked her to order a food truck for the crew of "Goblin's Bride". Then he started to make breakfast.

The crew usually doesn't provide breakfast, even if they start work at 7:30 today. So to show his care for the employees, the boss Li Zhixuan ordered a food truck for them.

The meals he cooked were mainly for the four protagonists and himself.

After breakfast was ready, he took it to the crew and whoever was not filming could eat first.

After staying with them on the crew for a while, Li Zhixuan went to work at the company.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Li Zhixuan was stopped by Min Zaicheng who had also just arrived at the company.

"President, I have good news for you. Coupang has made another stupid move! Haha!"

Du Le laughed out loud. Seeing him so excited, Li Zhixuan was naturally very curious and asked with a smile: "What happened?"

"Coupang has launched a fitting service for women's clothing. Simply put, after a female user places an order on Coupang and buys clothes, the courier will deliver them to her home. The user can then ask the courier to wait until the user has tried on the clothes and decided whether to return them or not. Only then will the courier leave."

"Isn't that nonsense? Couriers are so busy every day just to earn that little bit of hard-earned money. If they had that time waiting, they could have delivered several orders. Isn't this just delaying their earnings?"

Li Zhixuan couldn't laugh, but instead felt a little angry.

Seeing this, Min Jae-sung also put away his smile and said indignantly, "Yeah! Salaries have already been reduced three times in a row, and now Coupang has introduced this thoughtless policy. Many Coupang couriers are cursing online."

With salary cuts and this kind of Dogecoin policy, can the couriers still stay here?

The key question is, why is Coupang's logistics service so well-known? Isn't it largely due to the professionalism and good service attitude of these couriers?
If Coupang doesn't value these couriers, what about other logistics companies? Aren't they scrambling to get them?
But then again, the courier's performance is also closely related to the company's system and the leadership's management methods.

So, who is the most suitable leader for Coupang's couriers?
That must be Min Jae-sung who built Coupang Logistics!
"How is Xuanxiao Logistics preparing? Can they quickly accept a group of couriers who resigned from Coupang?"

Hearing this, Min Jae-sung's expression darkened, and he said helplessly, "Not yet. Right now, the Xuanyao Mall website and the apps for mobile and tablet platforms are still in the testing phase, and there aren't enough merchants on board. The logistics are almost ready, after all, South Korea isn't that big."

"Notify the heads of the Technology, Marketing, Human Resources, and Finance departments to come to the conference room. Let's have a meeting together."

"Yes!"

Although they said they were having a meeting together, in fact, Li Zhixuan was the only one giving orders.

After everyone arrived, Li Zhixuan first said to the head of the technical department: "I'll give you half a month to launch the website and the software for each platform."

Half a month? Even a month isn't enough!

"Can……"

The head of the technical department was anxious, but just as he was about to say something, Li Zhixuan raised his hand to stop him. He said sternly, "If you want money, I'll give you money. If you want people, I'll give them people. As long as we can launch the product without any problems, everyone in your department will receive a big red envelope of no less than 10 million yuan, and we'll give you an extra week off during the Spring Festival!"

At least 10 million, which means ordinary employees, and even interns, have 10 million, so how much do supervisors have? Not to mention they get an extra week off during the Spring Festival, so they can rest well if they want, and travel if they want!
As the saying goes, a big reward always brings out the brave. With the generous reward, the technical director had nothing to say. He immediately stood up, bowed, and said, "Yes! I guarantee to complete the task!"

"Go ahead and inform everyone of this news."

"Yes!"

After the technical director left, Li Zhixuan looked at the marketing director again.

“How many brands and businesses can we attract to settle in within half a month?”

For newly established online shopping platforms, most merchants will choose to wait and see rather than rush to join, especially brand merchants.

If the platform wants to have enough products, it needs to have enough merchants settled in. In order to achieve this goal, it has to rely on the marketing department to connect with other brands.

How much can be negotiated in half a month?
The marketing manager wasn't sure either. After a moment's hesitation, she tentatively asked, "Do you also want people for you and money for you?"

"That's the principle, but there has to be a bottom line. Otherwise, if you give a merchant a 100 million yuan subsidy, they'll definitely want to come, but the company won't even have enough money to spend."

"In that half month, we could only attract 300 brand merchants to settle in at most."

"Okay, let's use 300 as the base. If you don't reach that, your entire department's bonus for this month will be cancelled. For each additional company you reach, you'll receive a bonus of one million."

"Yes!"

"Finance, personnel, and full support for them, can you do that?"

"Yes!" "Don't worry, President. Everyone in our department will definitely work overtime to complete the task."

After the heads of each department expressed their opinions, Li Zhixuan let them get back to work.

Only the chairman and the president were left in the conference room. Li Zhixuan continued to talk to Min Zaicheng, "In the early stages of starting a business, we are short on manpower, so employees will definitely have to work overtime. Overtime is very tiring, both physically and mentally draining.

Therefore, overtime pay, meal allowance, transportation allowance and other subsidies must be given in full, and the tea room should be equipped with more drinks, fruits, snacks, etc. Don't save this little money.

Oh, and since the weather is so hot right now, I need to buy some cold drinks and ice cream for my employees to keep them warm.

Hmm… Also, prepare some medicine to strengthen the stomach and help with digestion, and to treat diarrhea and gastroenteritis. This is to prevent some unlucky people from overeating when they get a good meal, and then end up feeling bloated and cold.

"Haha!" Hearing the last part, Min Zaicheng laughed, then looked at Li Zhixuan and said with some emotion: "I have been in the business world for more than 20 years, and I have never seen a boss as considerate as you."

"Oh! These things don't cost much. The employees are exhausted from working every day, so it's only right that the company spends some money to make their lives more comfortable.

Of course, I don't want to be taken advantage of. First, the accounts must be clear and reasonable, and wholesale should not be more expensive than retail.

Second, whether it is food, drink or other daily necessities, they are only allowed in the company and are not allowed to be taken away."

Hearing this, Min Zaicheng nodded in agreement. This was the right thing to do. In fact, if Li Zhixuan hadn't said it, Min Zaicheng would have proposed it.

"Even if that's the case, the company's expenses will still be higher."

"It's okay, but the company won't go bankrupt because of this, right?"

"That's definitely not the case."

"Okay, let's do it. You can take care of the logistics. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard, leave it to me, don't worry."

"it is good!"

Things here were almost dealt with, and Li Zhixuan planned to go back to the office to work. But just as he was about to leave, Min Zaicheng stopped him again.

"President, please wait a moment!"

Li Zhixuan stopped, turned around and asked with a smile: "Is there anything else?"

"Hmm..." Min Zaicheng hesitated for a moment, then bowed deeply to Li Zhixuan and said, "There are some things I shouldn't say, and I'm not qualified to say them. But no matter what, I still want to express my stance to you."

So solemn?

Li Zhixuan immediately walked back and helped Min Zaicheng up: "Go ahead."

"What you just told me to do, and your anger at the couriers' plight in the lobby downstairs, are enough to prove that you are someone who can empathize with ordinary people.

I believe that someone like you is the most suitable person for the position of Chairman of the Lee Group. Only someone like you can lead the Lee Group to a long-term future.

I don't have any great abilities, but I'm willing to support you until the end."

Yo!
Li Zhixuan was delighted because he found that he had inadvertently impressed a subordinate, and he was a senior business executive!
In response, Li Zhixuan put away the smile on his face, then bowed solemnly to Min Zaicheng and said, "Thank you for your trust and support. I promise I will never let you down!"

Min Zaicheng accepted the gift calmly, then helped Li Zhixuan up and bowed deeply to him again. This also meant that at this moment, a relationship similar to that of a monarch and his subjects had been established between the two of them.

……

"Director, I just realized something. Why doesn't the president have a personal assistant? The kind that follows him wherever he goes."

When Zheng Minya suddenly asked this, Zhang Yuanna first explained: "The president has bodyguards around him. To some extent, they are the president's personal assistants."

After explaining, Zhang Yuanna teased, "You went on a business trip with the president once, and you want to be his personal assistant? Aren't you worried that he might have something bad to do to you?"

He doesn't even bother to talk to me! What's there to worry about?
Although she was angry in her heart, Zheng Minya pretended to be embarrassed on the surface and explained: "Don't worry, the president is still a very good person."

As soon as they finished speaking, they heard the elevator ring. Soon, Li Zhixuan arrived at the door of the secretary's office.

"Yuana, make me a cup of tea."

"Yes."

After giving the order, Li Zhixuan left. Zhang Yuanna turned her head and looked at Zheng Minya: "Minya, you go."

"Ah."

After making the tea and looking down at her sexy camisole, Zheng Min-a went to Li Zhixuan's office with the tea...
