Chapter Eighty-Seven Premiere Was A Huge Success!
Yoon Ji-ho looked at the departing Gaeul with a hint of bewilderment, picked up the handkerchief on the ground, and muttered softly, "What a strange girl!"
The first episode of "Boys Over Flowers" has ended...
Yoon Je-ho had already gone to make a phone call to KBS at that time, and everyone was anxiously waiting for his news...
"It's out! It's out!" Yoon Je-ho shouted as he ran...
"How much? How much?" Jin Fan asked out everyone's question...
Although Li Shenglin was open-minded about these comparisons, his hand holding Xiao Huhu still unconsciously used a bit of force, "Dad, it hurts!"
"14.9%, nationwide 14.9%! (From now on, all data will be calculated based on the highest real value +0.5%. The main character should at least be 0.5% stronger than Kim Hyun, right?) We did it! We did it!" Yoon Jae-soo was overjoyed, of course. He was a golden writer, and his first work was a huge hit. His path forward would naturally become much smoother...
Li Min-ho bumped Li Shenglin with his shoulder, "Still, Shenglin, you're the best! You guessed the ratings for the first time and got a great start, I owe you a meal!"
It was said that Li Shenglin invited everyone, but in fact it was a collective contribution from everyone. Although the money was usually not enough and the host had to make up for some of it, everyone was happy and didn't mind the little difference.
Of course, this is under the circumstances of good ratings...
Ratings aren't good? What's for dinner then, let's continue working harder on filming...
......
On the way to the restaurant, Li Shenglin's mobile phone kept ringing non-stop, all of which were congratulatory text messages from relatives and friends. Because there were too many, he couldn't reply one by one, so he sent a group message, "Thank you!"
But it's not just him, other people's phones are also ringing non-stop.
"Thank you everyone for your hard work all along. As a director, I'm proud to have actors like you. Let's keep working hard and strive for even better results, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
......
Everyone here is drinking and having a great time, but on the other side, although it's already quite late, netizens who just finished watching the first episode of "Boys Over Flowers" are not calm at all. They quickly logged onto the official website to vent their emotions that they couldn't hold back.
It's all over, I'm poisoned, Yun Ji-ho's gentleness has intoxicated me...
I prefer kids with a cute appearance, it's like raising them as pets...
I'd rather be kept as a pet by Yoon Ji-ho...
Hui Shan Nuna, my golden grass, scatter wolf black oil...
......
Apart from these purely emotional audience, many people also expressed affirmation of Li Shenglin's acting skills:
Lee Min-ho is really a model? My god, it's obviously the rhythm of a new generation of powerful actors.
Goo Hye Sun isn't bad either, she acted even better than in "Pure 19" ...
What amazed me the most is Li Shenglin, his enchanting eyes, and his heart-warming gentleness... From now on, I must find a single dad to be my husband, men with kids are absolutely the best warm-hearted men.
Not everyone who rides a white horse is a prince, and not every single father with kids is a warm man.
After watching the acting of the three main actors, I now have high expectations for Su Yi Zheng and Song Yu Bin. "Meteor Garden" FIGHTING!
......
Of course, there are still many brainless anti-fans who pick bones from eggs, but I won't bother with them. After all, they also contributed to the ratings, didn't they?
The entertainment sections of major newspapers the next day naturally used a long article to report on the hot broadcast of "Boys Over Flowers".
"In the beginning of '09, KBS's "Boys Over Flowers" brought us a surprise. It can be predicted that 2009 will absolutely be a year with outstanding works one after another, and audiences are in for a treat..."
Are you a prophet?
But it's still okay, there are even more exaggerated ones, XX News, with the title "The Korean Wave Rises Again"
"Korean dramas have always been the vanguard of Hallyu, but in recent years, their influence in Asia has somewhat declined. However, with the broadcast of "Boys Over Flowers", it attracted a large number of viewers and topics, I dare say that this is absolutely a sign of the resurgence of Korean TV dramas and a milestone for the expansion of Hallyu's influence..."
Sounds like all good words, full of national pride... but somehow there's a sense of high-end darkness...
In addition to these widely acclaimed flat media, there are some other unconventional reports, for example:
Boys Over Flowers VS East of Eden
Alright, the title can be considered a compliment to "Boys Over Flowers", although its premiere ratings were good and it was heavily invested in by KBS, but compared to MBC's hit comeback drama, honestly speaking, it's not on the same level.
It just so happened that yesterday's episode of "East of Eden" was the one where Lee Seung-yoon made a guest appearance, and the newspaper ran a big spread on Kim Tae-hee and Lee Seung-yoon, the two actors who are simultaneously starring in two TV dramas...
Anyway, whether it's funding or the cast, it's completely inferior to "East of Eden". Highlighting these two people seems a bit interesting, but in reality, it really feels like this is going to be a crushing defeat...
Jin Fan, a minor character in "East of Eden", played the lead role as a child... and later became the third or fourth male lead in "Boys Over Flowers".
Li Shenglin, let alone, the dragon suit in "East of Eden", turned into a phoenix in "Boys Over Flowers" and became the second male lead.
Somehow I feel that "East of Eden" is stronger than "Boys Over Flowers" by more than one level...
......
But the newspaper doesn't care about these things, what they want is topicality, sensationalism, and sales volume. After analyzing it, the conclusion is that "Boys Over Flowers" will surpass "East of Eden"'s ratings within 10 episodes.
As soon as the report came out, this newspaper was scolded to death, but the sales were real money... More importantly, when "Boys Over Flowers" later really surpassed "East of Eden", the newspaper sold well again. Who let them have a foresight?
But now, Jin Fan and Li Shenglin have gained a lot of anti-fans for no reason.
......
Li Shenglin is now very entangled, extremely entangled, why?
Because he's about to shoot a kissing scene...
Although Hu Hu was born, he had no memory of the process, so in his heart, his first kiss was still there.
Although the girlfriend from the previous generation was playing with him and didn't get any benefits, after mixing for so long, she must not be pure anymore... But something as sacred as a first kiss should still be reserved, right?
