Chapter 778 Failure

The map cannon is definitely not that easy to fire. With one shot of Lee Soon-gyu, except for Seohyun's excellent physical fitness and Lee Mong-ryong's gender difference, it basically filled the entire girl.

Although the number of people is not large enough, at this time, it is natural to rush forward to teach this dead girl a lesson, and the first target of various black hands is Li Shunkyu, who is proudly shrinking. This group of people can't wait to be touched directly.

If Lee Soon Kyu had been stripped naked, Li Menglong could actually take a look, but now he really doesn't have the time. He doesn't even have enough time to sleep. Why would he want to see Lee Soon Kyu stripped naked?

If this idea were known to other long-cherished people, they would probably be jealous to death. But people who want to see it don't have the opportunity, and people who have the opportunity don't want to see it. It's so unfair.

After sucking in all the noodles, Li Menglong took Xu Xian and set off: "Let's go to the set to prepare first. Xiuying will come over in an hour!"

"Okay!" Xiuying responded. Although it cannot be said that what he just wanted to take a rest was a joke, when Li Menglong was serious, Xiuying also agreed unconditionally.

joke! Li Menglong has started directing. Does the director have any concerns about letting the second female lead get up early to shoot a scene? Xiuying would have to rush over even if there was a knife coming from the sky. She only dared to say this in private just now. Xiuying still gave Li Menglong face wherever there were outsiders.

As the second female lead, Xiuying doesn't actually have a lot of roles, and even removing this role has no essential impact on the plot. In Li Menglong's drama, the scenes between the male and female protagonists are maximized.

In other words, all the other characters are serving the two of them. This is why Yoona is so exhausted. The workload of this drama is almost double that of the heroine in other idol dramas.

In other words, Yoona has to film two idol dramas within the same period of time, so you can imagine the pressure on time.

Relatively speaking, she is a relaxed Sooyoung. She also has a desire-free personality. When she first came to play the second female lead, she asked Lee Mong-ryong as a joke, but she didn't expect that it actually happened, so she came to play the role. Here.

Although it was not very good, Xiuying at least did not hold back. However, this time she came to the crew after a few days. How should I put it? She had seen everyone's sluggish state after the premiere ratings were not ideal.

Even if Li Menglong gave a big red envelope later, it only aroused everyone's superficial positivity, as if the body was working hard, but the brain was in a state of stagnation or even slipping away.

But now it seems to Xiuying that the crew is in almost the same condition as when filming first started. Everyone has new expectations for this drama. Although Xiuying doesn't know what this expectation is yet, she is already very impressed. Li Menglong.

Xiuying is not a novice filming a movie for the first time, so she knows how extraordinary it is for a director to achieve this step. It sounds incredible to be able to re-inject confidence and goals into a group of crew members who have given up. .

It is not easy to find Li Menglong when he is busy, but there is Xu Xian who can be found. He stopped the little girl, as if collecting tolls, Xiuying asked directly.

Xu Xian put one hand across her chest and the other hand to protect her butt. Her unnies were always unreliable, which made Xiuying want to take action. Fortunately, Xu Xian said in time: "It's because of yesterday Shooting!"

"Yesterday? It seems I missed something again, right?" Xiuying asked curiously,

"Well, Yoona and Unnie performed very well yesterday, so everyone feels that there is hope for this drama again!" Xu Xian said with some pride. After all, she was also one of the staff yesterday, so how can she be different from Yourong? .

It's just that Xiuying thought a lot more than the little girl, and even understood the reason why Li Menglong was a little unkind in the morning. In fact, Xiuying thought that Li Menglong couldn't let her come over after what she said in the morning.

After all, everyone knows that Li Menglong loves them very much, and everyone is very cautious in using Li Menglong's love for them. For example, Xiuying was really in severe pain this morning, so she took the initiative to say that she didn't want to come.

But after seeing Li Menglong's persistence, Xiuying stopped insisting and took some special medicine. Although it was harmful to the body, she had not taken it less before, that is, she had stopped taking it for more than a year.

As for now, she understands everything and understands Li Menglong's inhumanity towards her. The current atmosphere of the crew is so good, first of all, not filming would be a waste of everyone's status.

Secondly and most importantly, Li Menglong doesn’t know how long this state can last. If the response is not good again after this scene is broadcast, it can be said that this drama will be sentenced to death, and Li Menglong will not be able to do it again. Encourage everyone's status.

So taking advantage of the current situation, of course I had to shoot as hard as I could. It would be nice if I could shoot more. After thinking about it, the last bit of unhappiness in Xiuying's heart disappeared, and then she starred with the second male lead Park Hae Jin.

If we only talk about the appearance of the actors in the opposite roles, Sooyoung is undoubtedly much happier than YoonA. Basically all the male actors in the entire drama beat Lee Kwang Soo in terms of appearance, whether it is the second male lead or Sooyoung's relationship. The line is also the villain boss and even Yoona's younger brother in the play, so in this regard, Yoona is indeed unfortunate!

"All departments are ready, filming will take place in ten minutes!" Xu Xian shouted with a loudspeaker.

With Xu Xian's voice, it can be seen with the naked eye that the entire crew is like boiling water. Everyone is busy with what they are doing, checking the machine, confirming the venue, touching up makeup, and memorizing lines silently...

Hundreds of people are like parts, running efficiently and smoothly according to Li Menglong's will, and the progress of the scene is also progressing at a frightening speed.

Just as the crew is making intense preparations, the new TV week has arrived. This is now everyone’s joking name for the explosion of TV series during this period. Based on the last broadcast of My Love from the Star, there are new ones every day, seven days a week. You can watch the show.

You must know that although You in the Star is said to be a hit, it also hit the crowd with a premiere ratings of over 10%. In normal times, this result would probably still be the first at least in the premiere.

That is to say, several other dramas during this period were too conspicuous, and the star's You has many shortcomings. If it really fails in the end, it can be regarded as a glorious defeat.

It's just that Li Menglong obviously still wants to fight to the death, but the third and fourth episodes, which are played this week, are all edited together last time, which means that the old version and the new ideas will not be released until the fifth episode. .

In the latest two episodes, Lee Kwang Soo and Yoona's funny life continues. After four episodes, the relationship between the two is still ambiguous. Of course, there are endless funny scenes.

This kind of rhythm cannot be said to be wrong, but it is obviously different from the current dramas. The earliest idol dramas like to set up foreshadowing, and even if they focus on the relationship between men and women, the relationship will not be confirmed until the last few episodes.

But then the speed obviously accelerated, and there was a law in the eighth episode where the male and female protagonists kissed to confirm their relationship! However, times are still developing, and competition has reached such a fierce level today.

The writers worked hard. They started to create suspense in the first episode and dared to reveal the mystery at the end of the first episode. In the first episode, the male and female protagonists didn't know each other yet, but in the second episode, they dared to kiss directly to establish a relationship...

It cannot be said that everyone is too snobbish, but they have done everything possible to retain the audience. Although this can attract the audience, it also comes at the expense of the thickness of the script.

Li Menglong didn't want to do this, but he couldn't resist the cruelty of the facts. He was not the kind of artist who talked about art even though he couldn't afford to eat.

Li Menglong's only criterion for a good drama is the ratings. If the audience doesn't like to watch it, then the drama will be a failure, so in order to conform to the taste of the audience, Li Menglong compromised.

It's just that his compromise was not reflected in these two episodes, and the ratings were similar to what MBC expected. After all, it is a major TV station that has produced so many TV series. They have their own set of rules for watching dramas.

For example, You from the Star focuses on taking an unconventional path, and I won’t mention the specific aspects. This kind of story can easily become an instant hit, and it can also easily lead to death, but the most terrible thing is that the number of viewers will not increase with the broadcast. lengthening and growth.

This is why MBC decided to shorten the number of episodes. Ordinary TV series have higher ratings as they go to the end, which may be several times higher than the first broadcast.

But You Who Came from the Stars has such distinct characteristics that if people don’t agree with the first and second episodes, they will basically have no desire to watch it anymore, so the ratings for the next two episodes will still remain at 100%. About twelve.

Originally, the reporters still had good memories and were afraid of being slapped in the face by Li Menglong, so they waited until the new week. When they saw that the ratings of the other three dramas had exceeded 20% and only Star You was stagnant, it was all entertainment. There is no need to take care of each other anymore.

If there hadn't been such a special turn of events, Li Menglong's drama would have basically crashed. It's still the same after four episodes. They don't believe that this was Li Menglong's intention.

Even if Li Menglong is willing, MBC is not willing, so this is because his strength itself is not enough. There is no other excuse. After being successful for so long, Li Menglong is finally about to fall.

After reaching this conclusion, I don’t know how many people breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if Li Menglong continued to succeed, what would become of other directors or works?

The media, which had been somewhat silent when Li Menglong failed last week, began to exert their efforts. After two consecutive weeks of low ratings, the media sentenced Li Menglong and Xingyou to death.

This time it is not just nonsense to express personal anger. There are really many experts who explain the problem from a fair perspective, and even news from MBC is revealed.

Even TV stations are preparing to reduce the number of episodes because they are not optimistic about it. Doesn't that explain something? For example, Li Menglong really failed...
