Peninsula Asteroid

"What are you looking at so happily?"

On a square table, Wu Shixun, who was sitting diagonally across from him, was chewing something in his mouth, frowning and looked this way several times, seeing Chi Jingyuan who couldn't stop smiling while staring at the phone, he couldn't hold back his curiosity after all. asked out.

Yesterday was the premiere day of "Unborn", but Chi Jingyuan did not stay in the crew of the peninsula because of the itinerary. He flew to Xiaguo Magic City with the company's team yesterday afternoon. There will be a show here tonight. SMtown's family concert 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 can’t perform, if Chi Jingyuan doesn’t go, EXO can only be on stage as a group of 9 people, not to mention that many of their stage choreography is in the form of KM two-team dance, only 9 people will watch It sounds very strange, and to be honest, they have never practiced the stage formation of 9 people, but they have rehearsed many times for the 10 and 11 people.

Coupled with these two points, the film crew still had enough time to shoot, so Chi Jingyuan decided to perform together. Anyway, this is SMtown's last performance in 2014.

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

The few people ordered all the traditional things of Xiaguo. Each person had a bowl of porridge, a few baskets of steamed buns, siu mai and some side dishes. It was really enjoyable to eat.

"The premiere of "Misaeng" last night, he must have been reading the comments on the Internet." After swallowing what was in his mouth, Do Kyungsoo said slowly and understandingly.

He put a siu mai in the bowl, thought of something and looked at Chi Jingyuan curiously: "By the way, have the ratings of the first episode come out?"

"Not yet, I guess it will be soon." Chi Jingyuan took a sip of the porridge, pouting his mouth and shaking his head.

"I haven't watched it yet, what's the review?"

"It must be very good, otherwise he can laugh so happily?" Wu Shixun laughed, and interjected a few words in a strange way.

"It's okay." Chi Jingyuan nodded without denying it.

Most of the comments he read on the Internet just now are quite good, whether it is for the plot or his acting skills, there is no lack of praise. A little blush.

However, the close-ups of Zhang Klee's eyes and expressions in the close-ups of the face in the first episode are really well done and very interesting. At that time, I shot it many times, and I was very emotional every time I shot it. I still remember that the director Kim Won-seok praised him severely at that time.

Of course, there are also some people who were disappointed and dissatisfied after watching it. They also left messages on the Internet to express their criticism of the show. The most important points of the first episode are concentrated on "the protagonist has been eating and watching, and it's uncomfortable to watch" and 'The tempo is really too slow' above those two points.

This is also a problem 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, there is no TV series that can be liked by everyone. The most important thing is to find out your own positioning and audience group, and show the best drama within this framework as much as possible.

Although "Weisheng" only aired the first episode, it has already shown a different charm. At least half of the positive reviews have given Chi Jingyuan a lot of motivation, making him feel that the crew's hard work in the past two months has been very rewarding.

"Om..." When he was halfway through eating, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated and rang. Seeing that the call was from Jin Yuanxi, Chi Jingyuan quickly swallowed the half-eaten bun in his mouth without avoiding it. The next member sits there and connects directly.

"Guess, PDnim..."

"Haha good morning good morning."

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

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

"Araso, I see...Kang Sang Mita."

After hanging up the phone, Chi Jingyuan looked at the phone screen and paused for a moment as if he was thinking about something, and then felt the questioning gazes from the two people opposite him. He didn't pretend to be a joke, and said directly with a chuckle: "1.899% .”

"So tall?" Do Kyungsoo was taken aback when he heard it, and couldn't hold back his surprise when he was still eating.

Kim Won Suk told him on TV just now that the ratings of the first episode have been calculated, the highest is 2.4%, and the average is 1.899%.

Hearing the tone and tone of the other party, I feel quite satisfied.

To be honest, Chi Jingyuan also thinks that the ratings of this first broadcast are already very good.

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

As far as tvN's golden soil drama schedule is concerned this year, the average ratings of "Nine Numbers Boy", which was taken over by "Misheng", was less than 1% after the broadcast, which can only be called a failure. Marriage" had an average rating of only 1.9 by the end of the broadcast.

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

This year, tvN’s only gilt-soil drama with good ratings this year is "Emergency Men and Women" 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%. The hot spots are not very high, but it has been considered a success.

The explosive drama "Please Answer 1997", which once had a relationship with tvN, premiered at 1.5, and it grew all the way to create the cable TV ratings record at that time.

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

Both Do Kyungsoo and Oh Sehun are also insiders and both are very interested in the film and television industry. Naturally, they know what the first broadcast ratings mean. So good, then your drama is going to be popular again?"

"I 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 more pleasing to the eye.

He finished the remaining porridge in the bowl with a squeak, and shook his head conservatively: "It depends on whether the ratings of the second episode tonight will rise or fall."

"That's right." Although they were quite determined in their hearts, the two still nodded in agreement. The ratings are hard to predict. No matter how good the first episode is at the beginning, there is a great possibility that it will rise or fall later.

There are also many TV dramas whose first episode has the highest ratings of the whole drama, for example.

Do Kyungsoo and Oh Sehun also quickened their eating movements. After clearing the food on the table, the three got up, greeted the few members who were still eating next to them, and left the restaurant first, walking towards the elevator. I'm going to go back to the room and take a rest for a few minutes. After a while, I'm going to go to the scene for a rehearsal.

Just two steps out of the restaurant, they met four people from red velvet walking towards them. Judging from their expressions, they should have come down to eat not long after they got up.

I don’t have much make-up at the moment, I probably just put on some foundation or BB cream and then ran down. The floors of the hotel are also covered by SM, so I don’t have to worry about being photographed by outsiders.

It's just that under the cover of no makeup, the four people's complexion and skin are obviously not very good. It seems that Pei Zhuxuan, who is walking in the second place, has a yellow complexion, obvious dark circles under the eyes, and a pimple on the cheek on the left side of the mouth. A small raised pimple appeared.

The others were not much better, that is, Park Xiurong looked a little better because of his youth, but the dark circles under his eyes were quite conspicuous.

"So early?"

Jiang Seulqi, who was walking in the front, saw three people, and greeted them with a smile.

Pei Zhuxuan at the back was also about to say hello when he suddenly remembered something, and quickly stretched out his left hand to cover his forehead, as if the sun was too big to shade him.

A few people didn't put on much makeup, and she probably knew that her complexion was not very good. It didn't matter to walk in the corridor before, it was quite natural, but after seeing Chi Jingyuan, she reacted suddenly and wanted to block it like a conditioned reflex .

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

When she was a trainee, when she didn't wear much makeup, I met Chi Jingyuan several times, but I didn't see her care so much about such things.

Sun Shengwan also beckoned, and she, who was usually full of energy, seemed to have lost all energy and was a little listless.

After red velvet's official comeback on the 13th, the results in the past week have almost been seen.

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

As for the sound source, because it is a cover song, in addition to the fact that it was just released because of the high attention that made it explode that day, it was not bad, but the rankings in the major charts have been declining rapidly since the second day, and it has fallen in less than a week. Almost out of the list.

As for the reaction, not to mention, those who should be scolded continue to be criticized, and those who should be criticized continue to be criticized, and the number of fans has not increased much, as if they never returned at all.

Ryder Beibei is still the object of group ridicule on the Internet, and even because the results of this comeback have almost no splashes in the first week, the black fans are so happy that they start to scold even more.

It feels better to return to void than they are now.

When we met at the company by chance last month, I could still see Pei Zhuxuan clenching his fists and cheering himself up with vivaciousness and anticipation, but now this cruel reality probably makes the few people who are doing their best for this comeback feel a little bit Lost and hopeless.

It is estimated that there will be a feeling that no matter how hard you try, it will be of no use.

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

After Pei Zhuxuan realized that her complexion was not good, she lowered her head after greeting her softly, her straight black hair hung down from her forehead and both sides of her cheeks, covering her face so much that she couldn't see clearly.

Seeing them like this, Chi Jingyuan and the others didn't say much, and after a word or two with Jiang Seqi and Sun Sheng, he was ready to leave.

He didn't say "Come on" like before this time, and now speaking about the situation of Led Beibei will not only have no effect, but may even have some counterproductive effects.

At this time, Pei Zhuxuan and the others should be very sensitive

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

"By the way, the breakfast Xiaolongbao and preserved egg and lean pork porridge here are very good, you can try it."

The others all smiled and nodded when they heard the words, only Pei Zhuxuan seemed to sense something else, quietly raised his head to look at Chi Jingyuan, and then quickly lowered his eyes before he looked over.

After saying goodbye, they walked into the elevator with Oh Sehun and Do Kyungsoo. They all thought of the current status of the junior-sister group Red Velvet. They looked at each other knowingly, shrugged and did not speak.

Today’s family concert EXO still has the same stages, but because there are only ten people, and there are only four left in the M team, Ji Jingyuan and Do Kyungsoo will go to make up for their positions when changing venues.

At the same time, Tao’s absence caused no one to do somersaults. XO’s choreography still has many parts like somersaults, including "Addiction" and "mama".

In the past, as long as there were such movements, they all belonged to Tao, and his first position in EXO was to be in charge of martial arts.

Originally, the company planned to find a member to replace it, but the other members were really not good at this kind of thing. After thinking about it, they canceled this action for fear of getting hurt.

After finishing the family concert, before Chi Jingyuan returned to the hotel, at ten o'clock, "Misaeng" also started broadcasting the second episode on tvN.

After the first broadcast yesterday, the evaluation on the Internet was very good. After the broadcast started today, the various data of the TV station obviously exceeded the same period yesterday.

Just like Nan Dongjian, today he did not comfort himself with the reason of 'I am idle anyway', but got ready to sit in front of the TV half an hour in advance after returning home and wait for "Misaeng" "Start.

Thanks to the fact that the section chief didn't call for a drink today, he had enough time to come back and watch this urban workplace drama that he discovered yesterday was very suitable for him and even resonated with him a lot.

Zhang Klai, who suffered all setbacks and blank stares in the first episode yesterday, also touched the hearts of many viewers. Many people were very concerned about his future development in the "All International" and they discussed it on the Internet.

After the first episode, Zhang Klai declined the suggestion of section chief Wu Shangzhi to let him go home and rest first, and returned to the company to work overtime overnight to complete the task of sorting out documents assigned to him by the other party.

It's a pity that the results of his labor were not recognized the next day. The sorting items and methods he used were only suitable for him, and others were not used to them and could not understand them.

Wu Shangzhi also directly criticized Jin Daming, who tried to take care of him a little bit, and gave Zhang Keli a little work to let him practice: "What the hell are you doing?"

"Who did you ask to do? Are you still not cheering up?"

"Let him try? Is this his practice field?"

Jin Daming got up and apologized after some words, but Zhang Keli, who was standing beside him, fell into unspeakable silence.

None of these criticisms were aimed at Zhang Keli, but each of them hit Zhang Keli's self-esteem clearly and forcefully.

It is obvious that they have worked very hard, but as the section chief said, there is no one here who does not work hard.

Today's experience made him realize that some things can't be done by himself alone.

Recently, the company suddenly spread rumors that Zhang Keli has a very strong background, because it seems strange that he can come in as an intern with no work experience and a high school education, so many people immediately believed a lot after hearing it, and somehow Zhang Keli's popularity in the company suddenly increased a lot, and some people who were indifferent to him before became more enthusiastic.

Then in order to complete the internship briefing, the interns need to cooperate with each other and form teams in two groups. At this time, Zhang Klai, who had been neglected before and had no improvement in his work ability, suddenly became a favorite. His people came to him enthusiastically to seek a team.

And An Yingyi was a little jealous and excluded by other contemporaries because of her strength and being a woman, while Zhang Klai, who had never found a partner because of doubts and hesitation, was offered to drink coffee by An Yingyi, and the other party also took the initiative unexpectedly. Bring up the idea of ​​partnering with him.

"I also have a lot of shortcomings."

"Let's work together and do it well."

Thinking of the other party's encouragement and encouragement when they drank coffee together before, Zhang Keli felt a lot stronger in his heart, and also had some faint strange feelings.

But when he was very grateful to An Yingyi in his heart, Jin Daming, who was reprimanded for trying to take care of him before, suddenly pulled Zhang Keli to the conference room, and reminded him a few words in earnest as a senior:

"Have you selected your briefing partner?"

"..." Zhang Klai felt a little embarrassed when he thought of being invited by An Yingyi just now.

"Everyone come to you..." Jin Daming saw through Zhang Keli's thoughts at once, and looked at the document in his hand with a chuckle, but he didn't mention it at all.

"Well, I don't know why this happened suddenly..." Zhang Klai was also very puzzled. Will actively invite.

"And you, you have the qualities that other trainees like."

Jin Daming's expression was flat, watching him say it outright: "You are not confident enough, you don't understand the business, and you don't have enough skills."

"Then why is everyone coming to see me?"

"It's best for you if you both get good results in the same group, but if that's not possible, it's better to play with the obvious bomb."

"bomb?"

"Yeah, the victim holding the bomb will stand out more... At least in front of the judges, I will stand out a little more... That's why I'm looking for you."

"Choose someone who approaches you carefully..." Feeling that I had said too much, Jin Daming packed up the documents and reminded him before leaving the small conference room, leaving only Zhang Keli sitting there silently with a turbulent heart daze.

It turns out that everyone in the workplace smiles at you, but the people who treat you well don't keep smiling like they do on the surface.

Jin Daming's words made his previous complacency disappear without a trace, and he only felt an unspeakable emotion brewing in his chest and could not vent it.

However, these very timely reminders made Zhang Keli grow a lot. Jin Daming, the representative who was very dissatisfied with him on the first day of work, also showed his warm side here.

Even though Jin Daming's words seemed straightforward and chilow, and his usual attitude towards him was not good, but his behavior of helping and reminding Zhang Kelai couldn't be covered up.

Immediately afterwards, the third business group encountered an accident. Because of the mistake of Jin Xihao, an intern in the second group, he dropped the draft book that should be scrapped by the shredder in the corridor, and was picked up by the passing company executive.

This kind of data leakage is not a trivial matter. The executive went to the third business group and handed the draft document to the section chief Wu Shangzhi, and the whole third group was instantly chilled.

And Zhang Klai just happened to be in charge of taking a bunch of materials and scrapping them. After seeing the draft paper, he thought it was his own mistake that he had missed one.

"Yes, it's me..." Just as he was about to admit his mistake and apologize, Wu Shangzhi, who had always looked down upon him before, suddenly interrupted him,

"Qiao Song Mida." Wu Shangzhi bowed to the executive and kept apologizing.

The executive didn't say anything, just smiled and left. His coming here has actually proved that there is no need to say anything about his attitude. .

"Get out of here, bastard!"

After the executive left, Wu Shangzhi immediately lost his temper, scolded Zhang Keli and told him to get out, and at the same time looked at him disappointedly and angrily: "You know clearly now...the reason why I don't even want to give you a chance .”

Zhang Klai, who thought it was his fault and was extremely sad and disappointed, took the initiative to run to the rooftop to physically punish himself. He ran around the rooftop and leapfrogged, shouting "concentrate" while running profusely in sweat. Words like 'serious' and 'focus' are used to remind and motivate myself.

He was really disappointed in himself.

But at this time, Wu Shangzhi discovered that the leakage of the draft book was not the fault of Zhang Kelai, but the mistake of Jin Xihao, an intern in the second business team.

Wu Shangzhi's mood became very complicated because of this. As the section chief, it was impossible for him to apologize to Zhang Keli, but because of his misunderstanding, he scolded Zhang Keli in public and said some ugly words, which made him feel sad. Sorry, I've been a little distracted all night.

After Zhang Keli came back from the physical punishment, Wu Shangzhi took the initiative to call Jin Daming and Zhang Keli to drink and have dinner. He had something on his mind and soon got drunk and was staggered on the street by his two subordinates. with.

At this moment, they met the second group of business who came out to celebrate. Facing the section chief of the second group who also showed off to himself after drinking too much, Wu Shangzhi, who had been holding back all night, finally told the truth through alcohol: "Don't be here What are you talking about preparing lipstick glue... because your interns threw away the glued documents, causing my employees to be scolded!"

He smelled of alcohol, his expression was exaggerated, and he spit out saliva when he spoke. He looked like a drunk who had drunk too much.

But what he said stunned Zhang Keli next to him.

Even after returning home, Zhang Klai still sat there in a daze for a long time, and Wu Shangzhi's drinking words kept echoing in his mind.

"The employee who caused me to be scolded!"

"My staff!"

The phrase "my employee" made Zhang Keli, who had been in a state of incompatibility since he joined the job, and was ignored by all kinds of cold eyes. Like an outsider, Zhang Keli suddenly felt a huge sense of identity and belonging.

It turns out that I have been regarded by the section chief as a staff member of the third business team, not someone who is there to fill up the number, and I don't need to know the name of someone.

Looking at the desktop in a daze, all kinds of bitterness after work surfaced in his heart, the disappointment and discomfort that he thought he made a mistake this afternoon, all kinds of complicated emotions made him choke up for a while.

But it didn't take long before Zhang Keli suddenly laughed out. Even though his eyes were red, his nose narrowed, and his lips were slightly pursed, no matter how he looked, he looked like he was about to cry.

But it still makes people feel that he is really happy when he smiles.

The picture freezes, the melodious BGM sounds, and the second episode of "Unborn" comes to an end.

But at this time, countless viewers in front of the TV are still immersed in the last scene. Looking at Zhang Klai, who is crying and laughing on the screen, it seems that he can really understand his mood at this time. faded, but became more empathetic.
