Ten Million Psychopath Actor

chapter 19



19. 100% true that I did it myself

“I am telling you too late. really···. Thank you so much for saving me.”

“It was something I had to do, of course. Anyone would have done that if it had happened.”

“It is absolutely not something anyone can do.”

Jeong Seol-ah and Kyu-ha had various conversations, and with Jeong Seol-ah’s active lead, the two quickly became close.

“Can you give me your phone for a minute?”

Jeong Seol-ah, who received Kyu-ha’s phone, dialed her number and pressed the call button.

– Gyuha oppa, the life saver

“Even after thinking about it for a few days, I don’t know how to thank you. So I just want to repay the favor over and over again.”

“no···. What is that?”

“Nope! I have to do that. Anyway, I look forward to seeing you in the future.”

Gyu-ha scratched his head as he watched Jeong Seol-ah walk away.

What does a trailer mean in a drama?

Bondi trailers are aimed at inducing viewing by imprinting them in the minds of people in the most effective way to inform many people of a drama.

It is most important to attract attention so that people can feel interest in the movie in a short period of time, and this plays an important role in the success of a drama, so the importance of trailer production is increasing day by day.

In fact, the trailer for the last episode of the QBC drama [Yellow Hair], which caused the syndrome of ‘year hair failure’, is still talked about as a masterpiece trailer on social media to the extent that it is uploaded as a legend video.

This is also the reason why the notice is also called another work.

The production of drama trailers is the main task of the youngest assistant director, and although the length is short, the assistant director is directly involved in composition, editing, concept, and subtitles.

The youngest assistant director Lee Young-chul, who was in charge of producing the trailer for ‘Pygmalion’s reverse effect, also felt a lot of pressure.

It was because the first notice I made during my days as an assistant director was actually the same as my debut.

Lee Young-chul also immersed himself in the work for days and nights, imagining the thrilling moment when the trailer he planned and edited was delivered to viewers through TV.

“The most important things in the trailer are fishing and aggro.”

Looking at the videos that have been evaluated as successful trailers, a lot of ways were used to arouse curiosity by selecting and arranging provocative scenes or editing lines without context.

It was unavoidable because I had to appeal the charm of the drama within 30 seconds.

Some people thought that making a 30-second video could be done in a day.

However, it is rather easy to increase it. Compressing a long content into 30 seconds is a task that requires more thought and suffering than expected.

Lee Young-chul also came up with the concept of the trailer after a few days of hard work.

“No matter how much I think about it, I think it would be best to write a scene where the male lead sculpts on the beach and an encounter with the female lead.”

And the senior assistant director already knows all the contents of the drama, so he knows the overall context, but the viewers don’t know that context at all, so he advised that they should stimulate the viewers’ curiosity but not deviate from the probability.

“That’s right. Probability is important.”

Lee Yeong-chul showed the dark side of the male lead, Sichang, for about 10 seconds, Kyu-ha sculpting in the moonlit night sea for 15 seconds, and the remaining 5 seconds for the female lead, Na-yeon.

“great. First of all, it draws curiosity by emphasizing the part that the actor sculpts himself, and then ends with a chance meeting with the female lead, and finally a chance encounter at school! Hey, I can’t help but watch the next episode.”

Lee Yeong-chul, who smiled with satisfaction, soon wrinkled his forehead again.

“Hmm… the background music is this, after all.”

He himself has listened to all 7 songs of Pygmalion’s reverse effect OST, but there is no music that fits the mood of the drama as well as Love Song sung by Heart Signal Midwinter.

“Something doesn’t sound like a song these days, but it doesn’t sound tacky. And it’s addictive, so I keep listening to it.”

Lee Young-cheol did not turn off the fluorescent lights in the editing room all night today to realize the 30-second aesthetic of a trailer.

The trailer for the first episode of ‘Pygmalion Backfire’ has finally been released. – trend sports

ㄴ ㄴㄴ The director already revealed that the male actor did it himself.

ㄴ Huh DUDU The quality of the pieces didn’t come, but that’s it?

ㄴ Wow, but Jung Seol-ah is fucking pretty ㅠㅠ Is the innocence true?

ㄴ So hahahaha I thought I was this pretty too.

and after 3 days

Finally, ‘Pygmalion reverse effect’, which had a lot of talk and trouble, was first aired on TVM.

***

Having already experienced unwanted fame due to a fire accident, it was an appropriate time to amplify the curiosity about what the inner substance of ‘Pygmalion’s reverse effect’ would be like.

Kyu-ha, team leader Han Jeong-hee, manager Bong-gu, and PR team leader Cha Cha-ra gathered to watch the first episode.

“Huh… it’ll be fine! Don’t worry, Mr. Kyuha. The atmosphere in the media is also good.”

“I think the team leader is more concerned?”

“Yeah?? No, I’m fine. Have I been through something like this once or twice? ho ho ho”

He said that, but he was team leader Han Jeong-hee, who couldn’t help but feel nervous because it was the first drama starring Song Kyu-ha, the first actor he handpicked.

“What? We begin now.”

Manager Bong-gu pointed to the large TV in the conference room, and episode 1 of ‘Pygmalion’ reverse effect began.

The four people in the conference room focused on the TV screen and soon became so immersed in the drama that they could barely breathe.

An hour passed like that, and with the preview for episode 2, the first broadcast of ‘Pygmalion Adverse Effects’ ended.

“Whoa, that’s fun…”

Manager Bong-gu shared his first impressions.

“The editing is neat, and the drama has definitely come out well. In a way, it seems like a typical melodrama, but it has elements that the younger generation these days will like. There is definitely a sense of immersion.”

Director Han Jeong-hee evaluated the drama from the point of view of the producer or critic rather than simply from the point of view of the viewer.

“I also enjoyed it. But how much will the ratings be?”

The head of the PR team asked about viewership, which could be the most important factor.

“Well… I can’t predict that part either. However, I would like it to exceed 2%.”

How are TV ratings calculated?

People often think that viewer ratings are a survey of all houses with TVs, but in reality this is not the case.

Usually, sample households representing the population are selected, which are selected through a fairly careful and complex basic survey.

The number of sample households selected in this way is about 4,200, and a survey device called a people meter is installed in the sample households to collect data and is sent to the Nielsen headquarters at 2:00 am to count viewer ratings.

[‘TVM Pygmalion Adverse Effects’ highest viewership rating of 2.9% Nielsen Korea nationwide]

The first score of Pygmalion’s reverse effect came out.

“2.9% isn’t bad.”

Team leader Han Jeong-hee felt relieved at the figure of 2.9%.

Even if it wasn’t a jackpot, the average hit was enough.

In fact, even for ‘Walkie’, which was the biggest box office success in cable history, the first episode had a viewership rating of 4.3%.

In a melodrama with relatively low ratings, 2.9% was quite encouraging.

“It would be nice if it would go up little by little like this.”

Perhaps team leader Han Jeong-hee’s wind worked, the ratings graph of ‘Pygmalion Adverse Effect’ continued to trend upwards, and by the time the 8th episode reached the middle, the viewership rating reached 6%.

However, the reason why ‘Pygmalion’s adverse effect’ became an issue was the topic due to the overwhelming support of the 2030 fanatics.

In fact, if you look at the search term rankings for daily Korean dramas on the portal site Nave, ‘Pygmalion’s reverse effect’ is ranked 3rd.

Considering that ‘Successor of the Sun’, which exceeded 15% in viewership ratings on terrestrial TV, ranked 5th in search terms, this clearly showed the topicality of ‘Pygmalion’s adverse effect’.

“What do you think is the reason Seolah Jeong thinks ‘Pygmalion’s reverse effect’ is loved?”

Jeong Seol-ah, who was scheduled for an interview with a reporter from the entertainment department, fell into thought for a moment after receiving a question from Newspia reporter Lee Jung-ah.

“Um… I think empathy from empathy is the biggest reason. A man who closes his heart and pretends to be normal, and a woman who feels pity and maternal love for such a man. And the fresh campus romance that you can only feel when you are in a relationship when you are a college student, and the process of gradually opening your heart to closed eyes, I think viewers sympathize with and feel some kind of vicarious satisfaction.”

“Thanks for the reply! The next question is… Is it true that Song Gyu-ha did the pieces that Si-chang does in the play? Even on the Internet, opinions are divided.”

“I can definitely tell you about that. You are 100% sure you did it yourself. There were no bands at all.”

“Then it is really surprising. Next… It’s a bit cautious, but it was a big enough incident to be reported on the news, right? There was a story that actress Song Kyu-ha saved Ms. Jeong Seol-ah from being in trouble when a fire broke out in the dorm. In fact, no details are known about it. Can you elaborate? You can skip it if you feel uncomfortable.”

After thinking about it for a while, Jeong Seol-ah solved the story as if she had made up her mind.

“In fact, the actual situation was more serious than reported. I missed the timing to get out, couldn’t go down because of the fire and smoke, and my mind was gradually fading. In fact, I gave up at that time. I couldn’t see any way to survive. With death in front of me, I thought it was too unfair to die without being able to act properly. And just as I was about to lose my mind, the door suddenly slammed open and I saw Song Gyu-ha.”

“I thought it was a dream. Of course, the only thing I can see before I die is my co-star Song Gyu-ha.. I must have wanted to act quite a bit too. I even lost my mind. It turns out that he really climbed up to the 4th floor through the fire to save me. I was surprised to hear it later.”

“Wow···. Song Gyu-ha is really great. Unless this is a firefighter with professional equipment, it is not normal to jump into a smoke-filled fire… So what kind of person was actor Song Kyu-ha after filming together?”

“Even excluding the fact that actor Song Gyu-ha is my lifesaver, there is a lot to learn from him. I don’t have a very friendly personality, but I’m learning a lot and being stimulated by seeing how he takes care of each and every staff meticulously, and above all, acts as if he’s possessed someone else.”

“okay. Personally, I am very proud that I learned a lot about the stories I didn’t know about the two lead actors in today’s popular drama ‘Pygmalion’. This concludes today’s interview. Thank you for your effort.”

“Yes, the reporter also worked hard.”

And the next day, Jeong Seol-ah’s interview was published in magazines and news sections, and it received an unexpected response.
