Rebirth of the Director in Korea

most recently SBSTV Station is very hard, how can I say?

From TV dramas to variety shows, the ratings have shown a certain downward trend. The ratings of “X-man” have fallen below 20%, and the ratings of “Weekend Reverse Theatre” have ranked first in the same period since it was broadcast. There has also been a certain decline.

As the new Saturday variety show king “Love Letter”, with the expiration of the contract of the Shinhwa combination, the ratings have dropped from an average of more than 25% to just over 20%. Although no news broke, some careful viewers have discovered that the PD of the variety show “Love Letter” seems to have changed, not the original Jung Hyuk-jae anymore.

Not only that, after the expiration of the Shinhwa combination contract, “Love Letter” went through a series of revisions, but from the perspective of ratings, the revision of “Love Letter” did not meet the audience well. Our mind is still that few people plus female guests. Although it hasn’t been half a year since “Love Letter” has been broadcast, the audience already feels a bit bored.

The ratings dropped. All the employees of the “Love Letter” segment group sat together to brainstorm and discuss the issue of revision. Has it become this bird in your hand?

Even if this is the new PD of the “Love Letter” program, I can’t figure it out.

The program’s ratings problem plagues SBSTV Station Bureau of Comprehensive Arts and Entertainment, and the TV drama production department is also bothered by the ratings.

Kim Woo-ji walked into the elevator with his head down, facing a few nodded younger generations who greeted themselves in the elevator, and didn’t say too much. In the past, he always encouraged them. The younger generations of TV Station, say a few words to them, but these days, he is really not in the mood.

Several TV Station juniors in the elevator have arrived at their respective floors. After saying goodbye to him again, they went to work at their jobs, and he had to get on the elevator and go up two floors to see himself. The big boss in charge of the TV series-Director Yoo.

The reason, naturally, is that the TV series “Shamrock”, which has only single-digit ratings, has recently been broadcast.

From the beginning of the filming of “Clover”, SBSTV Station and Lee Hyo-ri’s agency have invested a lot of effort. SBS wants to use the Lee Hyo-ri effect to stimulate the TV series’ ratings. After all, this TV series is the opening drama of SBSTV Station, and there is no room for sloppyness.

Not to mention Lee Hyo-ri’s agency. Who doesn’t want their singers to turn to actors? Don’t look at the classic song “Ten Minutes”, Lee Hyo-ri has become As the unashamed king and phenomenon-level singer in 2003, even if it crosses 2004 to 2005, as long as it talks about Lee Hyo-ri, the image and the first word in everyone’s mind is still’Queen of Sexy’.

Compared with male singers, female singers have a shorter shelf life. Lee Hyo-ri, who is twenty-five and sixty-six, is now facing the problem of transformation. How to turn and where to turn?

The survival pyramid of the entertainment industry in South Korea is very strange. Movie actors will always be Level 1 of aloof and remote, and then TV series actors, singers and models form the largest group in the entertainment industry. It can be said that Lee Hyo-ri has reached a height that many female singers in the entertainment industry can hardly achieve in their lives. The music industry has already reached the stage, and naturally it needs to be transformed.

Naturally, from the singer and actress, SBSTV Station saw Lee Hyo-ri’s topicality, and her agency operated her transformation mission. The two sides hit it off. The cooperative TV series “Clover” was just like that. Confirmed on the agenda.

It can be said that “Shamrock” has attracted a lot of viewers’ attention since the filming began. SBSTV Station saw the comments of netizens on the Internet and believed that the ratings of the broadcast should be good, but the reality is fiercely. A mouthful of SBS.

The viewing rate of 5% can be said to be the lowest viewing rate of SBS TV series in history. Why is such a TV series that brings together Lee Hyo-ri, Eugene and other big stars at that time, the viewing rate is only a pitiful 5%?

Kim Woo-ji couldn’t figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.

The elevator stopped slowly. Kim Woo-ji, holding the ratings report and the summary written down last night, came to the front of Director Yoo’s office. After talking to the secretary, he said He tidyed up his collar and walked in slowly.

He has been to Director Yoo’s office many times before. He is not unfamiliar with it here, but he has never felt like his heartbeat has been accelerated this time, and his heart is even more nervous.

“Director, Director Kim is here.”

“en.” Director Yoo, who seemed to have just finished the call, raised his hand, put the phone back, and looked directly at the person in front of him. Kim Woo-ji, “Come here, tell me what happened to the Production crew the day before yesterday?”

When I thought of this, Kim Woo-ji felt a headache, and had to report to Director Yoo one after another. Get up, as his ding boss, Director Yoo must have his own news channel, and ask him questions, just to see his attitude, but he dare not conceal the truth of the matter.

“It’s like this. The day before yesterday, the production crew of “Clover” was filming. The manager of Lee Hyo-ri-ssi had a conflict with the PD present, which affected the normal filming work on the scene, and Im PD came to follow up yesterday. I explained that I was going to quit my work as a PD in the TV series.”

Kim Woo-ji stood aside and didn’t say anything, quietly waiting for Director Yoo’s response, only to see him with one hand supported. The chin makes a hand knock on the table from time to time, making a sound of’ka ka’.

“Im PD resigned, then change to another person, if the script fails, let the Screenwriter in the stage revise it!”

“Yes!”

Director Yoo suddenly said so loudly, it scared Kim Woo-ji standing in front of him to a tremor. I have never seen such a temper in history. Of course, If I don’t count the last time Jung Hyuk-jae talked with the director if.

SBSTV Station originally had great confidence in “Shamrock”, but the reality has given SBS a blow. SBSTV Station, which has invested more than 2 billion in funds, wants to recover almost the cost with a 5% ratings It’s impossible. If it wasn’t that Lee Hyo-ri’s brokerage company helped share part of the risk this time, then SBSTV Station was really at a loss this time to grandma’s house.

In the beginning of 2005, I don’t know how many media and the other two TV Stations wanted to see their own jokes. Starting from the shady theory of the acting awards, KBS and MBC used all kinds of unseen The method can be used to blacken SBSTV Station. If everyone is not distracted by the recent’X File’ incident, then it is estimated that it will take a while for SBS to wash itself off.

The Moon-Fire Drama theater has always been the battleground of the three major TV stations in the first year. KBS’s “Sassy Girl Chun-hyang” has achieved a better than 20% since the beginning of the broadcast. Achievements, with the broadcast and broadcast of the episodes, the ratings are still continuously increasing, and I see 30% of them.

The ratings of “Sassy Girl Chun-hyang” continue to rise, so it is naturally SBS and MBC that are compressed by KBS.

Not only because of the script and the actors, there are many reasons for the low ratings of “Shamrock”. I haven’t seen that even MBC’s “Age of Heroes” has a higher ratings than “Shamrock”. more than half? Although MBC said earlier that it would cut “Age of Heroes”, but after so long, “Age of Heroes” is still playing well, and the ratings are compared to those of “I’m Sorry, I Love You” at the time. Under the double oppression of “Love Story In Harvard”, it is even better. The 14% ratings are much better than “Shamrock”‘s less than 5%.

……………………………………….. …….

This afternoon, Jung Hyuk-jae received a call from his former colleague Yoon Chang-woo and got along during the shooting time of “I’m Sorry, I Love You” , And the Deputy PD, Jung Hyuk-jae, who is a few years older than him, also know a lot, and get along fairly happily. Although I have resigned from SBSTV Station, from time to time, the two of them will call and greet a few times, and agree to come out together for a while.

“Why did Yoon PD have time to call me? Aren’t you busy with “Love Letter” recently?” Pressing the on button, Jung Hyuk-jae leaned on the back of the chair, laughing hehe To say.

Before leaving, Jung Hyuk-jae recommended his former partner to Choi Ji-hye of the Bureau of Comprehensive Arts and Entertainment. After some consideration, Yoon Chang-woo was transferred to “Love “Letter” became his deputy PD. Although it is not the most ideal TV series, his salary has increased a lot. After all, he got married and had children, and had a wife and child. Yoon Chang-woo doesn’t care if he can make a TV series by himself. , Feeding the family is the most important thing.

“Hyuk-jae~ah, I am calling you today just to ask about something.” Yoon Chang-woo said vaguely, Jung Hyuk-jae was also confused, for a long time Holding the phone, I don’t know what he asked.

“What’s the matter? What’s the matter?”

“That’s it. Recently, there is a TV series on the station until this time. It is necessary to change the director temporarily. Director Kim put I’ve come to my question. I think I’m a general PD. I want to try it!”

Listening to what he said, Jung Hyuk-jae remembered the TV series in his heart, but it’s Lee. Hyo-ri’s “Clover”?

Holding the phone, Jung Hyuk-jae hurriedly asked: “Did you not agree yet?”

“Ah, just now Director Kim called me. Aren’t you still thinking about it? I called you just thinking about it.” Yoon Chang-woo said with a smile, the words revealed a bit of intimacy.

“Brother, if you can trust me, don’t go down this muddy water!”

Jung Hyuk-jae, but remember it very clearly. After a series of director changes, After changing the script and the internal conflict, the ratings of “Shamrock” are still so hard. If you really get the ratings, it’s okay. If you can’t, it will definitely be detrimental to your next development in the station.

On the other end of the phone, Yoon Chang-woo was silent for a while, then he replied: “I listen to you!”

The two talked for a while and then hang up Phone.

Recalling Yoon Chang-woo’s words just now, Jung Hyuk-jae turned on the computer and searched for the news of “Shamrock”. Sure enough, there were many news articles with concerns about ratings issues.

I have to say that in the first year of 2005, SBSTV Station was far from the taste of the TV series variety masters of the previous year. Thinking of this, Jung Hyuk-jae’s mouth showed a chuckle, and then closed. computer.
