Shonda Rhimes actually has a little relationship with Eleven Studio. Anne Hathaway's just-released work "The Princess Diaries" is the work she wrote.*.

Shonda Rhimes, born in 1970, is better than the "NCIS" screenwriter Sean Bonan, "House" screenwriter David Shore, and "Little Miss Sunshine" that Evan Bell met before. "The screenwriter Michael Amter should be lucky, although she did not fall to the point of failure, but after graduating from college, Shonda Rhimes took a job in an advertising agency and wrote scripts in her spare time. The opportunity to write the script of the TV series "Flying Over the Star River Dream (dg also translated as: red face blood and tears. -v

After being idle for a year, she was hand-picked to write the script of "Princess Diaries. Although this is just a youth idol movie, there is not much room for development, but Shonda Rhimes quickly got inspiration. Started the writing of the "Grey's Anatomy" script. Fortunately, the "Grey's Anatomy" script was quickly appreciated by Sean Mayer and began to communicate with the TV station.

For Shonda Rhimes, her career as a screenwriter has been smooth, and she's far from the term "down-to-earth." However, according to the feedback from the TV station, no one is optimistic about the love story "Grey's Anatomy", which is under the name of a medical drama.

Now in the TV drama market in the United States, medical dramas are respected by "the story of the emergency room". This drama, which has created a new history of medical dramas, has entered the tenth season in September. Although the ratings are not dazzling, but Still doing well: In the last lifetime, the show ended up airing in 2019, ending with fifteen seasons. Now, Eleven Studio has launched a new category of dramas such as "Doctor House" that combines medical dramas and detective dramas. The reason why Fox TV accepted this script for the first time is in addition to the trust in Evan Bell's vision In addition, it is also because it feels feasible.

But "Grey's Anatomy" is different. This drama focuses on describing the interweaving between a doctor's personal life and professional life. As an ordinary person, what a doctor does in his life will inevitably affect his professionalism as a doctor. To put it simply, the doctor and the couple quarreled, and the couple was still a colleague in the hospital. The two of them had to find a balance and not let their tempers destroy the harmony of work. This is not an easy task for a doctor who needs to rely on his own knowledge, experience, and calm judgment.

In other words, "Grey's Anatomy" is more like an urban life drama, just putting the workplace in the hospital, that's all. For TV stations, such a drama has no attraction, no breakthrough, no innovation, and no bright spots. So, no one wants to take the risk.

But Evan Bell knew that "Grey's Anatomy" could succeed precisely because of its positioning. First, it allows all audiences to see the unknown side of the doctor's white coat, which is very important to the audience; secondly, it is different from "The Story of the Emergency Room", "Grey's Anatomy" focuses on Interns, interns must rotate in various departments before they can choose their own majors, so it has a wider field of vision; finally, it can be divided into successful character shaping, the five main interns in the play, and their The boss, each character has its own story, and the involvement between the characters also makes the stories in the hospital rich and interesting. The most important thing is that this drama also has a different perspective on the shaping of patients. Patients are no longer "passers-by who see a doctor", they also have their own stories, and each case has its own particularity.

"Grey's Anatomy" beat a lot of opponents after just one season of airing, and won the top spot in the second season and won the championship of the national drama TV ratings, standing behind it is full of discussion " Desperate Housewives", the steadily rising "NCIS", the endless suspense "Lost", etc., all these TV series have not been able to resist the charm of Seattle Grace Hospital. "Grey's Anatomy" had the highest number of viewers, Evan Bell vaguely remembered that it should be around 23 million. It is absolutely rare for a TV series to break the number of viewers of 20 million.

Wait, Evan Bell seemed to remember something, he thought about it carefully, "Grey's Anatomy" was only broadcast in March of this year, and the first season only had nine episodes, in other words, "The Internship" "Doctor Grey" was indeed not favored at the beginning, so it was broadcast in the spring of 205, and only nine episodes were used as a pilot. Thinking of this, Evan Bell's memory came back little by little.

At the beginning, "Grey's Anatomy" was indeed not optimistic about any TV station, and Shonda Rhimes can be regarded as a strong woman. After she realized that the TV station seemed to be interested, and the TV station had been acquired by Disney - Shonda - The "Princess Diaries" written by Rhimes is a movie invested by Disney, so it is still a bit related. So Shonda Rhimes personally went out, spent a lot of time, successfully persuaded the TV station, and finally gave the first season nine The pilot component of the episode will be broadcast in the spring of 205. When the first season aired, all the actors of "Grey's Anatomy" only had contracts for nine episodes. Know if your show can go on and on.

But the fact is that after only nine episodes aired, "Grey's Anatomy" gave an eye-catching answer with excellent ratings, which made the TV station immediately decide to shoot the second season of this TV series.

It seems that the script is not wrong, the screenwriter is not wrong, and the current situation is not wrong. The only difference is that Studio Eleven took a look at the script of "Grey's Anatomy" before the TV station, and the production of this TV series will be carried out by Studio Eleven, but I don't know that Studio Eleven is now Whether the manpower is sufficient.

Evan Bell cleared his mind and immediately looked up at Eden Hudson, "You just ask Sean to find this screenwriter, Shonda Rhimes, and then you go to the TV station together. I put in the email. The highlights and highlights of this TV series are written out, which is the advantage of the TV series, you go and negotiate, there will definitely be a result."

As Evan Bell spoke, he was typing quickly, recording his thoughts. In fact, Shonda Rhimes must know all of these things, but she has not yet been stimulated to her potential, and it is not time to gamble. Now that Evan Bell has written these things out, and they go to the TV station to talk about it, there should be a result worth looking forward to.

But after thinking about it, Evan Bell stopped again, "Will we be overloaded with this? Now it means that there are three TV series running at the same time, and 'Brokeback Mountain is still filming, and then' Little Miss Sunshine, will be Will there be a problem with manpower and funds when we invest in filming?" Evan Bell is not worried about the income of the work at all, he is not worried that there will be a situation where the successful and failed works of DreamWorks will not be able to make ends meet. "The intern "Grey", "NCIS", "Doctor House", these works will be the cash cows that make countless people covet in the future.

What Evan Bell is worried about is the scale of Eleven Studios, whether it can run so many works at the same time. You must know that these TV series are filmed for eight or nine years, which means that once the shooting team starts, it will be It will continue to follow up, and there is no way to spare time for other work.

Eden Hudson was not worried at all, he pushed Evan Bell's arm with his elbow, motioning for him to continue typing, "Don't worry. We have enough people, even if we don't have enough people, let the TV station make a little more. It's just people." When Evan Bell was busy, Eleven's agent was naturally not idle, and now it is not difficult for Eleven Studio to form a crew, and their contacts in the entertainment industry have been fully laid out. What's more, Hollywood is always the most unemployed.

As for funding, since the establishment of Eleven Studio, it has been making money continuously. The copyright of songs, movies and talent shows under the name of Evan Bell alone has been making money all the time without stopping.

And every time you invest in a new work, you can often receive double, or even three, four, or even ten times the income. Eleven Studios now has absolutely no worries in terms of liquidity.

The outside world does not know, but Eden v Hudson really knows nothing about the economic situation of Eleven Studio Also, Teddy Bell knows that Evan Bell has ideas about Pixar, in fact, has always been In doing short-term investments to accumulate more capital for the company, it seems that the results are very good now.

"This matter is probably a bit tricky. You first say hello to Sean, and when you are done here, then go to Los Angeles to help them together." Evan Bell no longer worries about the company's operations, Eden- Hudson does have more say, "Let Shonda Rhimes decide the show." And "Doctor House" is also at the helm of David Shore, which is also the style of Eleven Studios. And Evan Bell knew that Shonda Rhimes deserved more than half of the success of "Grey's Anatomy", so there was absolutely no problem in handing it over to her.

Eden Hudson nodded to show his understanding, glanced at Evan Bell who had finished typing, took the notes, and prevented Evan Bell from continuing to surf the Internet, "Go take a shower and sleep. It's not that I have to do it tomorrow. Let's start filming."

Evan Bell originally wanted to go to Eleven Bet, but when he heard Eden Hudson say that, he couldn't help but smiled and touched his head.
