"Doctor House (use.m.d is a show with character, written and executive produced by David Shore.

The starring Dr. Greg House is the director of diagnostic medicine at Princeton University Hospital. He leads his medical team, specializing in solving a variety of intractable diseases and diagnosing patients who cannot be diagnosed by other hospitals or departments. At the same time, Dr. House had to rely on a cane to walk due to necrosis of the right leg muscle, and he was in a state of long-term leg pain, often taking a large amount of the painkiller Vicodin to relieve the pain.

In a way, Doctor House is actually the same type of person as Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean". There are piles of things, and Dr. House is even more exaggerated. He is addicted to drugs, likes to abuse his subordinates, ignores all the needs of his subordinates, and does not like outpatient clinics, but he is such a doctor with such a flamboyant personality, but he is loved by countless audiences. on him.

The difference from traditional medical dramas lies in the way "Doctor House" focuses on cases. The most successful medical drama in history, "The Story of the Emergency Room (e.r, which has aired for fifteen seasons, mainly shows the following: The treatment process, and here is the diagnosis process, the fun lies in solving puzzles. In order to avoid this process becoming boring, the itinerary will be set up in a small meeting pattern, "Doctor House" has combined the performance of the crime inference drama to become the "crime scene investigation" in the medical drama. This type of fusion is the drama a great initiative.

Dr. House will often instruct his subordinates to go deep into the patient's home to conduct on-the-spot investigations on the patient's living environment, and infer the cause of the patient's illness based on the patient's diet and daily life. This is actually the most commonly used crime scene investigation method in many crime dramas. Although this information can be obtained by communicating with patients, Dr. Howes is most convinced that "everyone lies." No matter what the intention is, people will instinctively hide some key information from others. He is good at Debunking other people's lies, he also likes to discover the truth himself, so he can do whatever he can. For example, if he suspects that the disease is caused by excessive exercise, he will not hesitate to put the weak patient on the treadmill and observe the disease process from the sidelines. This unbridled and debauched behavior has also made Dr. House controversial.

To be precise, "Doctor House" is like Captain Jack Sparrow in the medical world, and like a "NCIS" type medical drama, so it's no wonder that this script will eventually be recommended to Eleven Studios Now, this is definitely more suitable for Eleven Studio.

"Doctor House" is a very good TV series. Evan Bell remembers that this TV series has been broadcast for eight seasons. The quality of the first five seasons is very high. He has been shortlisted for many important Emmy awards, and has also won the Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and other award ceremonies for the best actor affirmation.

However, after a long period of broadcast, the TV series fell into a rock bottom in the seventh season, and finally in the eighth season, Fox TV took the initiative to announce that the show was about to end. It must have been a tough decision for a network to make a different decision to end an evergreen series than to cut down a poorly rated one. The reason behind this is usually a disagreement over the actors' remuneration, or it may be a disagreement within the actors, and most importantly, whether the development trend of the ratings is going up or down, the TV station must consider the profit and loss risk of continuing to broadcast, then The show's appeal to advertisers is bound to become an important criterion.

For example, this year, both of them decided that this is the final season of "Friends" and "The City". Neither was cut because of poor ratings. The TV station decided to accept these two episodes after long-term negotiations and discussions. of.

It can be said that the same is true for "Doctor House". Although the ratings in the eighth season were not as strong as before, the results were still good, but it was finally decided to end after deliberation. This is also a good start.

After hearing what David Greenblatt said, Evan Bell asked casually, "Who is the creator and producer?"

David Greenblatt gave the answer of "David Shore", which also allowed Evan Bell to confirm, he nodded, "This show can be produced in our studio, but the cast must be selected. Be cautious."

David Greenblatt is not too surprised by Evan Bell's remarks. Just look at the actor selection process of the "Naval Criminal Investigative Service". Evan Bell attaches great importance to actors. And for an evergreen series, good actors are one of the necessary ingredients for success.

"I was talking to David this afternoon about the production of the script," Greenblatt said, referring to the situation when Evan Bell called him, who was in the process of being with David Shore. Discussion of the script, "However, we are all thinking about which TV station should this show be given to. You know, this show is very individual, and not every TV station is willing to give enough resources to promote it." Just now, David Greenblatt gave a brief introduction to "Doctor House". The one he used for comparison is "Pirates of the Caribbean". Everyone knows what Evan Bell said to Captain Jack Sparrow. The transformation, which created "Pirates of the Caribbean" last year's glory.

"What is the result of your discussion?" Evan Bell asked.

"CBS is now producing detective dramas, and there are no dramas that can compete effectively, so we all think it's a good choice." David Greenblatt's choice is not surprising, knowing that the ratings are now The absolute powerhouse in the competition, "Friends" is the work of the TV station.

Speaking of this, Evan Bell suddenly realized that it was 2004. It does not refer to 2004 in the sense of time, but a very important year in the annals of American dramas.

In 2004, the most successful and influential TV series "Friends" in the history of American TV series ended, and another "** City" that had a strong influence on female audiences also came to an end, which means The dominance of the "Friends" family will disappear, and the competition for ratings will be completely open.

The fall of 2004 is a huge opportunity for major TV stations. The first is the TV station. After "Friends" is over, they must find a brand new series that can continue the glorious tradition of TV station ratings; and for cbs TV station, relying on a series of detectives such as "crime scene investigation" The drama has won a lot of applause in word of mouth, and it is bound to be a good time for them to overtake; TV stations have always been at a disadvantage in the competition of ratings. location, then it is estimated that many people will think that you are joking, so taking advantage of this good opportunity, they must make changes.

Fox TV, which started with news, strategically bought out the copyright of "American Idol (an.l last year, a move that did not attract the attention of the other three major commercial TV stations at the time, but then Fox confirmed their With a good vision, the ratings of "American Idol" in the first season have risen rapidly, disrupting the deployment of various TV stations. In addition, "24 Hours", which is about to enter the third season, still attracts countless attention. Quietly, Fox TV also has It has the strength to compete with the traditional three strong.

Therefore, after the launch of the autumn program in September 2004, a series of excellent dramas emerged, which also became an important turning point in the history of American dramas. Later facts also proved that it was the last time that American dramas were in the next few years. Important collective outbreak.

In this list of blasters, there are several shows that stand out, "Doctor House" is one of them, in addition, "Desperate Housewives (desperate.usey, "Lost (st All of them are excellent works. These series have won word of mouth to win the audience, and also won the favor of advertisers. In the 2012 advertising revenue rankings, except for "Lost", which had ended at that time, these dramas all appeared in the top ten lists, which shows that their solid audience base attracts advertisers strength.

If you add the previous episodes such as "Two and a Half Heroes (ten and "Naval Criminal Investigative Service" that were broadcast in 2003, as well as several classic works that were born in 2005, these episodes are together. It set off another golden age of American drama.

If you look closely at the new TV series that appeared in 2004, the works that performed well, "Desperate Housewives", "Grey's Anatomy" and "Lost" are all from TV stations, whether these three TV series are in ratings, word of mouth or In terms of awards, they have achieved a comprehensive overtake, and also allowed the TV station to successfully fight a turnaround battle, gaining a lot of advantages in the ratings war.

"Doctor House" belongs to Fox Radio, and together with the "American Idol" and "24 Hours" that were broadcast before, this "rising star" has shown a strong competitiveness, especially "American Idol" to the 18-year-old By the age of 49, the attraction of adults is unparalleled, which also makes Fox TV, which was not valued at first, stand out from the crowd, and it has become the audience rating for eight consecutive years from 2004 to 2012. The final winner of the year-end statistics completely broke the dominance of the three major commercial TV stations.

The cbs TV station, which started out as a detective drama, has carried forward its own expertise. Not only has it developed a series of spin-off dramas on the original "crime scene investigation", but it has also tasted the sweetness of the "Navy Crime Investigation Service", and has launched a high-quality TV series. The "Criminal Minds (nal.nds of "Criminal Minds (nal.nds finally succeeded in replacing the dominant TV station and achieved the eight-year consecutive **** of the number one viewership.

As for the TV station, after the end of "Friends", it failed to launch excellent drama series in time. Although there were some decision-making mistakes, the new drama launched was either not topical or of insufficient quality. Position, but also lost to TV stations, and then went downhill all the way, failed to come out of the brilliant shadow of "Friends", from 2004 to 2012 for eight consecutive years in the bottom of the four major TV stations.

Looking at the twelve years after the 21st century, it can be said that 2004 is indeed a very important year, and it can definitely be called a turning point in the history of American dramas. Subsequently, Fox TV rose to dominate the ratings, and cbs was unrivaled in terms of viewership.

Of the shows that came out in 2004, Evan Bell was most interested in "Lost" producer J.J. Abrams, whose ideas were absolutely wild, and he created a series that included "Lost", "Mission Impossible 3", "Super 8" and other works full of personality. However, J.J. Abrams is now a well-known producer, and his "Double Spy" has received a lot of praise. Not sure, but Evan Bell speculates that J.J. Abrams should have signed an employment contract with him. Because "Double Female Spy" is also a work broadcast on TV.

However, no matter what, it was good news for Evan Bell and Eleven Studio to have the opportunity to participate in the production of "Doctor House" at the turning point in the history of American dramas in 2004. .

Returning to David Greenblatt's question just now, after listening to his description, Evan Bell asked, "Why not consider Fox TV? I think with the good cooperation between us, Fox should be willing to take the risk with us."

Evan Bell’s words made David Greenblatt think The three major commercial TV stations are more favored. But Evan Bell is different. He is very clear that in the TV drama market in the next eight years, the ratings will belong to Fox, and the number of viewers will belong to cbs. As for... Evan Bell will be more favored, because the TV station is in " After the broadcast of "Friends", there were major mistakes in decision-making for several consecutive years, which caused the TV station's ratings and viewership to fall to the bottom.

"If Fox TV is willing to take over, they can let them broadcast with 'American Idol' as a guide, which should be a very good attention." Evan Bell said with a smile.

David Greenblatt looked up and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, I'm serious." Evan Bell gave a confirmed answer.
