Chapter 12 Chapter 4 Ratings Girl

In 2000, Director Yoon Seok-ho selected some newcomers (Song Seung Heon, Won Bin) as the leading actors in his TV series "Blue Life and Death", including Song Hye Kyo.On September 18 of that year, the show premiered on KBS Channel 2 at 9:50 p.m. on Mondays and Tuesdays.After its release, the audience received rave reviews for the show, and the ratings continued to rise.The ending of Choi Eun Hee played by Song Hye Kyo dying on Yoon Joon Hee's back made the ratings reach a new high of 46.1%.The trend of this drama made the protagonists in the drama quickly become popular, and Song Hye Kyo was no exception. She won the Popularity Award voted by the audience in the Baeksang Arts Awards in early 2001, which shows her high popularity.With the broadcast of "Blue Life and Death" in various parts of Asia and the release of DVDs in various places, Song Hye Kyo has become the most famous Korean idol star popular in Asia. Reds.A TV series became popular in the "Two Songs" overnight. Song Seung Heon and Song Hye Kyo replaced Ahn Jae Wook and Kim Hee Sun in South Korea.When the TV series was broadcast in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, the crowds were empty.

A "Blue Life and Death" completely changed Song Hye Kyo's acting stardom.Even she herself claimed that this TV series was the turning point of her acting career.Song Hye Kyo was once interviewed by KBS Channel 2's "Performance Intermediary" program, and talked about her acting career. The first major turning point was in 1996, when she won the award at the student uniform selection conference and became a school uniform model, and then stepped into the showbiz.After that, I made some short films, and gained a little popularity with the SBS TV drama "Shunfeng Obstetrics and Gynecology".Although he became an actor, he stood at the crossroads of "either an actor in a short drama or an orthodox actor".Fortunately, with the help of "Blue Life and Death", the work was recognized. Since then, Song Hye Kyo has become an authentic TV drama actor, and because she successfully portrayed the heroine Eun Hee, she has become an eye-catching melodrama popular drama actor.

In 2000, Song Hye Kyo won the KBS Popularity Award of the year and the KBS Best Scene Award for this "Blue Life and Death Love", also known as "Song Hye Kyo".There are countless awards selected by the Internet: the first female artist in the popularity survey, the first Korean actress "face-changing object" and so on. In fact, in the final analysis, what Yin Xihu filmed is what we call Qiong Yao drama.The Qiong Yao drama elements of the whole story are very obvious: pseudo-incest, five-corner love, identity truth, picture music, and child stars. First, let’s talk about pseudo-incest.Brothers and sisters are so affectionate, and in the end they can always find out in various ways that they are not real brothers and sisters (of course, the usual trick of lazy screenwriters is the car accident hospital blood test).Since there is no blood relationship, it is only natural to be together.Song Hye Kyo played such a role in "Blue Life and Death". No wonder she is called Qiao Mei, and there is a mystery in her name.In the play, she calls men of the same age as "brothers", Joon Hee and Tae Hee.Song Seung Heon and Won Bin both love her and love her.This kind of love is not the kind of slapstick love in Korean TV dramas that became popular later. This kind of love is the love and pity of thousands of pets, and it is a standard Qiong Yao-style heroine.It's no wonder that Mei Qiao can start with such a role.

Followed by Pentagram.Two men love one woman, two women love one man, and finally become a five-corner love of three men and two women or two men and three women.The first half of the TV series is basically conspiracies and tricks, how to do anything for love, how to frame the hero and heroine to prevent them from being together, and the second half is basically how to fulfill them with smiles and tears, making the audience lament the world There are still many good people.In this film, sister Qiao is deeply loved by two men, and the two men bear or even fail the love of other girls at the same time.Therefore, the role of sister Qiao can be described as a collection of thousands of favorites.

Another important element is the truth of identity, who is not who, whether the father is not the real mother or the real mother, and the maid is actually a lady. This kind of plot is not uncommon in Qiong Yao dramas.In "Blue Life and Death", the biggest suspense of identity and truth is concentrated on Song Hye Kyo.There is no doubt that Mei Qiao is the first heroine of this work.The whole TV series is a love story and a pursuit of the mystery of her life experience. In addition, the acting skills of the child actors in "Blue Life and Death" are really good!Since the plot develops from a young age, the child actor's performance attracted the audience's attention.Especially "Blue Life and Death" chose Wen Geunying to play the role of Xiao Enxi, the child actor's acting skills are good, and the quality and ratings of the whole drama have been improved.Wen Geunying has been studying while filming since high school, and won the Blue Dragon Award and Daejong Award in 2005 when she was under 18 years old.Because of his popularity, Wen Geunying's TV dramas, movie scripts and commercial endorsements rejected due to his studies are astonishing.However, she did not drop out of school to pursue an art career. Instead, she was determined to continue studying university courses, and successfully broke through the fierce entrance examinations and was admitted to university.South Korea's star-making mechanism is powerful, and the hard work and brains of the stars themselves have also become an important reason for the brilliance of Korean stars.Moon Geun Young played Eun Hee as a child, making the character image more plump.

Even in terms of crying scenes, Yin Xihu and Qiong Yao are very similar. Qiong Yao is very good at turning on the faucet.Qiongyao girls, actresses like Liu Xuehua and Chen Derong are all famous crying stars.In fact, this is not the most powerful, Qiongyao boy is even more powerful.As the saying goes, men don’t flick their tears lightly. The male actors in Qiong Yao’s drama not only can cry, but also burst into tears. When they are excited, like Ma Jingtao, they can’t help crying. The TV series filmed by Yin Xihu is called love tear gas. The crying index of "Blue Life and Death" can be called the crown of TV dramas.The standard viewing equipment recommended by some people includes paper towels for wiping tears.In "Blue Life and Death", no matter the protagonist or supporting role, everyone can cry.Song Hye Kyo's character has been crying since she was a child, and the mother in the play sheds tears from time to time, and she can cry for three to five minutes with a sentence of "Eunxi, Eunxi...".The two male protagonists also love to cry very much, completely ignoring "men don't cry easily".Yuan Bin murmured about Song Hye Kyo on the phone alone, and cried while thinking about it.Song Seung Heon eloped with Song Hye Kyo, and was moved to cry under the maple tree.The TV series shot by Yin Seokhu almost left Song Hye Kyo with a misunderstanding of her acting skills, so many years later she participated in "The World They Live in", Song Hye Kyo said in an interview: "I used to think that acting sad was crying desperately, but it turned out not to be like this. "

Of course, the tear gas offensive in "Blue Life and Death" was very effective, and the audience in front of the TV burst into tears. When "Blue Life and Death" was broadcast in Korea as KBS's annual drama, the ratings rose from 30% to 54.4%.Especially in the last episode, Eun Hee died on Jun Hee's back, crying to death, which set off a climax of ratings. Director Yoon Seok-ho started filming TV series on KBS in 1992, and has always followed the aesthetic and lyrical route.Since 2000, the Four Seasons Love Song series has been filmed, and "Blue Life and Death" is the first one.Then came Winter Sonata, Summer Scent, and Spring Waltz.Although Yoon Seok-ho's love TV series has cultivated a large number of new Korean stars, the first batch includes Song Hye Kyo, Song Seung Heon, Won Bin, and later Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo, but overall, Yoon Seok Ho's TV dramas are on the decline. "Blue Life and Death" was the most influential and successful, and the subsequent ones were not as good as the next one. When it came to "Spring Waltz" in 2006, the ratings were very disappointing.

In 2006, in South Korea, beautiful love dramas have begun to withdraw from popularity, replaced by romantic light comedy lines.Everyone likes to enjoy fairy tale love while being relaxed and humorous, which has led to a trend of "village heroines" in Korean dramas.The heroine is no longer the fairy sisters of the past, all of them are either village girls or liars.In short, the more terrifying the heroine's background, the higher the ratings.Yin Xihu insisted that he did not follow suit, but he couldn't beat the market demand, and the trend of aesthetic TV dramas was over.

In contrast, Song Hye Kyo turned gorgeously in the constant search for transformation.Later in "Love Hotel", it was discovered that individual characters like Song Yuner were more popular with the audience, so they found a breakthrough point.She felt that transformation was necessary, and she did find a suitable film to shoot.This is all thanks to her agent team and her own willingness to try and challenge, which is why Song Hye Kyo is today's "drama star". Song Hye Kyo's performance in "Blue Life and Death" is very popular.So far, when people talk about the performance of Song Hye Kyo's new film, they will compare it with her early TV series.

In "Blue Life and Death", there is a passage, when Junxi's fiancée attempted suicide, Song Hye Kyo put his hand on Song Seung Heon's shoulder and said: "I forgive your sins".This kind of lines and character psychology are unusual, but Song Hye Kyo's performance is very good. On the blue seashore, Eun-hee hugged Jun-hee from behind. "Enxi? Are you Enxi?" "Brother? Are you my brother?" Before Junxi could turn around, both of them had tears streaming down their faces. Some people half-jokingly said that why the heroine in Qiong Yao's drama and Yin Xihu's drama became popular, it was because the hero said the heroine's name when he read the lines.Tragic romantic dramas use this hypnotic method to deepen the image of the heroine in the hearts of the audience.Indeed, many, many years later, you can still recall the names of the heroines in Qiong Yao's drama completely: Wanjun, Ziwei, Ruping, Yiping... Let us see how Enxi was cast in Yin Xihu's TV series. The male number two is on the verge of saying:

Tae Hee: "Eun Hee, I will not ask you to marry me, and in the future, I will not trouble you, I will not pester you anymore, and I will not ask you to like me. Let me cure your illness Your illness! I want to cure your illness. After you are cured... When you are cured, I, I will leave you! I will not expect any extravagant demands, I will leave you. Please let me heal Your illness!" Tae Hee: "I'm really disappointed! You're still sleeping. I'm afraid you've woken up, so I bought a lot of things, and I'll eat them all by myself. Do you want to eat?" He walked to the hospital bed: " Every time I come into the ward, do you know what I'm thinking in my heart? Whenever I open the door and come in to see you, I'm afraid that you're not here, and when you wake up, I'm afraid that you'll be with Junxi again Elope, in this case, my heart will be broken again." Tae Hee: "I want to save her! I beg you to save her! You must save her! Save Eun Hee, okay? The two of them really love each other, that's why I will give up Eun Hee! But you can't give up! I Please save her! I beg you!" "Cui Enxi, I'm going to kill you..." "Cui Enxi, I'm waiting for you, come back quickly!" "Enxi, come back quickly!" "Enxi... Enxi... Enxi..." "I love you……" Tae Hee, who asked the handsome guy Yuan Bin to perform, cried and shouted at Eun Hee, which made the female audience in front of the TV want to become Eun Hee.For Song Hye Kyo who plays Eun Hee, female audiences envy but don't hate, why don't they hate?Because the director arranged for her to end with a terminal illness. After that, South Korea launched a food tour, and South Korea's way of promoting tourism is really unique.In fact, this has been tried as early as the period of "Blue Life and Death".After ALLIN was broadcast, despite the unsatisfactory ratings, relevant government departments also built venues to respond to the TV series.It is said to be "watching Korean dramas and taking a romantic and beautiful trip to Korea".Attractions include: Hwajinpo Beach is the last location of "Blue Life and Death". The scene of Junxi walking along the beach blankly with the dead Eunxi on his back was filmed here.The coast that leaves sad memories is located at the northernmost end of the East China Sea, and it is a clear and quiet beach.In addition to the bathing beach, there are also many landscapes such as Huajinpu Lake, celebrity villas, reed fields, pine forests, and strange mountains.Hwajinpo Beach, where Junhee and Eunhee are now, is famous for its blue water and soft sand. Remember the abandoned elementary school that Junxi used as his studio in the play?This school is Sangun Elementary School in Yangyang, Gangwon-do. After "Love in Blue" was released, this place has also become a famous place for tourists to visit.Now, the props and sets from the time of filming are still preserved here.In fact, this is the studio of ceramicist JungJaeNam, the wife of Kim He-in, author of the novel "Chrysanthemum Fragrance".Therefore, the studio is full of a mixture of novels, ceramics and "blue life and death".Not only are there various pottery works for sale here, but also the stills of "Blue Life and Death" are hung on the walls, reviving people's memories of the film.Visitors can also experience the fun of making ceramics and dyeing cloth by themselves.The poplar trees on the campus are tall and straight, which is a good place for walking. Sokcho Cheongho-dong is a place where people whose hometown is in North Korea live together, commonly known as "Daye Village".The so-called "uncle" is the dialect of Hamgyong Province, referring to an elderly man. During the June 25th War, most of the people who came to Cheongho-dong from North Korea to take refuge were old people, hence the name.The dense old-style houses in Cheongho-dong are reminiscent of Seoul in the 1970s. The simple street scene and the quiet coast of Cheongho-dong present a unique style.The TV series "Blue Life and Death" was filmed here.The small shop run by the heroine’s family in the play has become a famous scenic spot in Cheongho-dong, and the raft on which the heroine rode has also become a popular object of tourists.The raft that can carry 35 people is one of the means of transportation for people from Sokcho to Cheongho-dong, and the chain connected to the boat is pulled by manpower.In addition, Daye rice intestines and Hamhung cold noodles in Cheongho-dong are also very famous. Daegwanling Samyang Ranch is the place where Junxi and Eunxi went on their honeymoon in the TV series.Samyang Ranch at an altitude of 850-1470 meters is the largest green grassland in East Asia. The 600-square-kilometer prairie extends to the east coast in the east, and a plateau basin in the west.The virgin forests and grasslands here are endless and very spectacular.The grazing cattle are scattered on the grass, grazing leisurely, which makes people feel relaxed after seeing it.The viewing platform at the top of the ranch is also a must-see attraction.Climbing to the viewing platform can not only have a panoramic view of the peaks of Wutai Mountain, but also watch the beautiful sunrise.
