Shining Star Korean Entertainment

The TV ratings war is far more than a comparison of the same day and time period, but includes a comparison of all Korean dramas within a week. The increasingly fierce ratings war has made the audience even more interested in the ratings than the TV dramas themselves.

The winner of Wednesday and Thursday dramas is MBC's "Dream Couple", and the winner of Monday and Tuesday dramas is MBC's period drama "Joo Meng". No one can challenge his position.

The weekend drama is dominated by KBS's "The Rumored Seven Princesses". This weekend drama also has a very strong new actor in the entertainment industry, Lee Seung-ki!

However, the moon-fire dramas and Earth-Yao weekend dramas are not as valuable as the water-wood dramas!

It is commonplace for TV series in these two time periods to increase the number of extended episodes.

Take "Ju Meng" and "The Rumored Seven Princesses" as examples. The two TV series were originally scheduled to have about thirty episodes. However, due to the rising ratings, the number of episodes has been extended.

It’s episode seventy!

What is the concept of seventy episodes?

In addition to daily dramas, Korean TV dramas are broadcast two episodes per week, and seventy episodes are enough to last thirty-five weeks!

These two TV series were broadcast in April and May of this year respectively, but now in November, they are still steadily maintaining certain ratings, and may even continue to be broadcast until next year.

The level of weirdness opened the eyes of Lin Youmin, a rookie in the entertainment industry!

In terms of the ratings for the whole week, "Dream Couple" has always been ranked below "Zhu Meng" and "The Rumored Seven Princesses", ranking third. It was only in the finale episode that it debuted.

It ranked first in the ratings for the first week, and it was also the last time!

However, there are no regrets after all!

From 13.7% in the premiere to 35.6% in the finale, the ratings of a TV series spanned 22%.

Even though it is not unprecedented or unprecedented, it proves the popularity of "dream lovers" from another aspect.

In terms of popularity, it is probably equal to or slightly better than the popular "Palace" in the first half of the year. After all, the ratings of "Palace" at that time were only 30%!

Even so, several of the leading actors in "Palace" have gained considerable popularity and attention.

In this aspect alone, "Dream Couple" is even better than "Palace"!

The 24-episode "Hwang Jin Yi" has eight episodes left after "Dream Couple" has been aired.

"Hwang Jin Yi", who had been suppressed for a long time, finally had a big explosion!

The ratings of episode 17 rebounded to 24.6%, setting a new high since the launch!

The new drama "90 Days to Love" that follows "Dream Couple" can't cause any obstacles at all!

After nearly two months, "Hwang Jin Yi" finally felt proud, with the final ratings reaching 29.3%.

But these are all things for later, and have nothing to do with Lin Youmin.

By the time "Dream Couple" reaches its fourteenth episode, all the content has been filmed.

Director Kim Sang-ho took the entire crew to a closing banquet, which can also be said to be a celebration banquet.

We have been getting along for several months and have become familiar with the crew, but when they are about to be separated suddenly, it is inevitable that they are a little reluctant to part with them.

Even Park Han-sung, a girl with a quiet temperament, drank a lot of wine out of melancholy.

Han Ye-seul and Lim Woo-min, who have made the most contributions, naturally have to be persuaded to drink.

Fortunately, he learned a lot smarter this time. He always had a drink and even dragged Quan Encan over, so he finally didn't get drunk.

He was not drunk, but the other one was.

It is said that women are emotional, but at this celebration banquet that was supposed to be joyful, the drunk Han Ye-seul was crying profusely, and even though she was not very conscious, she hugged Lin You for a while.

Chewing wildly, the murmur of alcoholic breath came to my face.

Lin Youmin's face and lips were all covered with Han Yeseul's lip marks. Even though the two of them were very familiar and had already filmed kissing scenes, such an embarrassing thing still made him extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, everyone present didn't take it to heart. Instead, they looked at it with smiles. Some even joked about it and asked the two to just become a couple.

This couldn't help but make Lin You feel ashamed. He and Han Yeseul had the purest "revolutionary friendship" and had no other ideas at all.

In any case, when the drunken Han Ye-seul was handed over to her manager, said goodbye to the crew, and got into Kwon Eun-chan's car, Lin Youmin's first acting career came to an end!

…

Kwon Eun-chan seems to particularly like to discuss things with Lin Youmin while driving instead of in the studio, and this is also the case this time.

"Youmin, you will have about a month's rest next time. Except for a few photo shoots and catwalks that were promised, no other work will be arranged for you."

"Encan, you can arrange these." Lin Youmin was busy wiping the lip marks on his face with a tissue. "By the way, brother, how do you arrange the awards ceremony at the end of the year?"

"I'm busy doing public relations and publicity during this time! Our resources in this area are incomparable to those of those brokerage companies! We can only do our best!"

Quan Encan is also a little troubled. In this regard, they are at a natural disadvantage. Who makes them work alone without a backer?

The end of the year can be said to be the busiest time in the entertainment industry. Whether it is singers or actors, there are always many artists, large and small, constantly attending various award ceremonies and busy.

The reason is, is it really just for those miscellaneous awards?

Of course not. Except for those authoritative award ceremonies, many artists don't attach much importance to the rest.

The most important thing is exposure! The more occasions you go to, the more news you will get! What does exposure mean? Popularity!

This is why so many artists are keen on red carpets and premieres.

"It's okay. I'll just have to work harder when the time comes!" Lin Youmin rubbed his brows and said.

In terms of news channels, they are naturally inferior to those brokerage companies, but Lin Youmin also has his own advantages.

With his wonderful performance and high popularity in "Dream Couple", his presence in the MBC Drama Awards and Baeksang Arts Awards at the end of the year will definitely not be missing.

Winning an award is almost inevitable, it just depends on the specific award.

In such a situation, you don't need to take the initiative to seek exposure, the cameras will take the initiative to find you, and the news will automatically lean on you.

Quan Encan nodded.

Kwon Eun-chan has also begun preparations for Lin Youmin's next phase of work after 2016, and is looking for new scripts and trial opportunities for him.

Generally, other actors will choose to take a break after starring in a TV series, which may be a month or two, or a year or two.

This kind of rest is not just for simple relaxation, but for getting rid of the influence of the previous role, brewing a good mood, adjusting the state, so that you can fully devote yourself to the new role, so that you can give full play to your best acting skills.

.

For an actor, this is an adjustment and also a kind of helplessness.

Of course, those artists who are exploited by their agencies cannot be counted.

However, generally those who take on the starring role in two scripts in a short period of time will not have any outstanding performance.

The mental consumption involved is far from being as casual as it seems on the surface.

On the other hand, famous artists are very cautious when choosing scripts, for fear of accidentally ruining their brand.
