Chapter 1384： retro drama

Today's fifth, please recommend, please subscribe to the annual work ticket 340 plus

"NCIS" in 2003, "Dr. House" and "Grey's Anatomy" in 2004, and "Prison Break" in 2005 Over the past three years, Eleven Studios has released a total of four TV series, all It has achieved great success, but 2006 has already entered July, but I still can't see any movement from Eleven Studio, which really surprises everyone.

However, with the great success of "High School Musical" and "The Queen Wearing Prada", it is understandable that Eleven Studio will shift its focus to the big screen. The start of shooting "Three Hundred Spartans" has attracted many people. This is the third time that Studio Eleven has photographed works without Evan Bell. Whether it can continue the glory of the previous two times is naturally worth looking forward to. At the same time, what will Evan Bell do after "perfume"? When it comes to filming, it has also become a topic

The TV station will send Mark Bonet to the door at this time, obviously hoping to explore Evan Bell's tone

Mark Bonet went straight to the topic, and Evan Bell was not surprised. He didn't avoid it deliberately, but said with a smile, "Yes, but it's still in the preparatory stage, so I haven't contacted the major TV stations yet. , our plan is to rebroadcast it in the fall of next year."

Evan Bell admitted it neatly, but instead made Mark Bonet stunned, but he just paused, and quickly picked up the words, "What is it? It actually takes up to a year. The preparation time is comparable to that of a movie.” In fact, it is not uncommon for a TV series to be prepared for one or two years. Like shooting some epic dramas, the shooting of each episode is carefully crafted compared to the movie, and the shooting time is not at all. no shorter than a movie

"You know Matthew Wiener?" Evan Bell did not directly answer Mark Bonet's question, but opened up a topic

Mark Bonet is not in a hurry. He knows that Evan Bell is willing to get straight to the point, so it's no problem. All he needs to do is to listen to Evan Bell's topic, "Matthew? Of course' black. .Dao.Family' one of the lead writers for seasons 3 and 4"

"The Sopranos" can be regarded as one of the pillars of the TV station. After its premiere in 1999, it received rave reviews and won numerous awards at the Emmy Awards and Golden Globe Awards. On the road to revival, it has changed the pattern of American TV screens. It is no exaggeration to say that "The Sopranos" has played a major role in standing out in many cable TV stations.

"At the end of last year, Matthew submitted a proposal that he had been writing for five years to us, but it never got any attention. After a few months, I saw this proposal in March this year and thought it was very feasible. I hope it can be filmed. Becoming a TV series" Evan Bell continued on after Mark Bonet's words, "but unfortunately, Matthew took over the screenwriting job of the final season of 'The Sopranos', plus this plan needs to be carefully crafted After careful consideration, our company plans to slowly carry out preliminary preparations and start shooting next year.”

Matthew Weiner, the 41-year-old "Mediterranean" screenwriter became a screenwriter in 1996. After that, he went up and down in the screenwriting career until 2001. Matthew - Wiener was qualified as a screenwriter for "The Sopranos", and his career began to pick up. Unfortunately, in 2002, Matthew Wiener lost his job, and then he put his plan "advertising" that he had written since 1999. Madman" submitted it to the TV station and rejected the proposal on the grounds that it was "bland"

"Mad Men" describes the brutal commercial competition in the golden age of advertising in the 1960s with New York as the background story. It is indeed a "bland" TV series, without hot sex. Love scenes, there are no talented people and strange things, there is no exciting case-solving chasing, it can be said that the adjective dull is used to describe it, but this TV series is better than hopelessly retro, faithful and true insider, and false The history of , these highlights make "Mad Men" a retro drama with charming charm

After being rejected, Matthew Weiner was silent for three years without a job. At the end of last year, when he had no way out, he chose Eleven Studio. In fact, Eleven Studio is not Matthew Weiner's first. The choice, not even the top eight choice, because the Eleventh Studio is too small and does not have sufficient funds, it can be seen from the movies and TV series filmed by the Eleventh Studio. Eleven Studio could not meet Matthew Wiener's requirements for "Mad Men", and "Mad Men" truly restored the scenes and costumes of the 1960s, which kept the production costs high.

But then, Eleven Studios rose rapidly. It is a pity that Matthew Weiner set his sights on this newly emerging small-qualified production company after he completed the acquisition of Pixar. He has always been known for his bold eyes and unique personality. Eleven studio also did not respond

After entering 2006, Matthew Wiener's doom is over. First, the TV station invited him back to write the script for the final season of "The Sopranos"; then Eleven Studios called and said they were willing to make "Mad Men" Fortunately, Eleven Studios agreed to let Matthew Weiner complete the screenwriting work of "The Sopranos" first, and then invest in the production of "Mad Men" next year, which really made Matthew Weiner overjoyed.

In fact, the person who was really overjoyed should be Evan Bell. He almost missed "Mad Men". You know, this TV series has won the Emmy Award for Best TV Drama in the Drama category for four consecutive years. The Golden Globe Award also achieved three consecutive championships for the best TV series. There is no doubt that the work is excellent, but Evan Bell's real love for this work is not because it can win awards, but this show is indeed a rare one. Excellent drama to see

Generally speaking, the main drama is a little serious and dull, and it is difficult to attract a large audience on a small screen. Evan Bell tried four times in his last life before watching it, but once he watched it, he was completely addicted to it.” "Mad Men"'s portrayal of characters, strictness to the industry, and pursuit of details all make the TV series exude a charming charm. Among them, different social classes have different clothes and dresses, mixed with the practice of real historical events in the 1960s , a real and credible advertising case; and the most important thing is that in that year, when the haze of World War II dissipated, singing and dancing announcements, and sensuality, the TV series truly created that nostalgic and hazy atmosphere, which made people fascinated. ...These highlights make the show "Mad Men" reborn and become a classic

If Eleven Studio can successfully create a TV series like "Mad Men", it will be a big improvement for the entire Eleven production staff, which will have an unlimited positive effect on the quality of the studio's works in the future. Therefore, Evan Bell is very determined to create this TV series

With the appearance of Mark Bonet, Evan Bell did not hesitate, and he put forward the plan for the show. Although the filming will not start until next year, he does not mind starting to cooperate with the TV station now, and put the early stage of the show. Preparatory work on the agenda

After Mark Bonet listened to Evan Bell's narrative, he was very entangled. In their eyes, they would never make a show like "Mad Men". Matthew Weiner was sure Some "Mad Men" scripts were put into TV stations, but they must have been rejected, because unlike such cable TV, these commercial TV stations rely on advertisements for a living, and retro dramas like "Mad Men" are driving ratings. The ability is almost approaching zero. If Mark Bonet is allowed to make judgments, he will definitely refuse.

But on the other hand, this is a play that Evan Bell likes. What does this mean? It means that Evan Bell's unique vision has attracted "Mad Men", which is equivalent to the quality assurance of the work itself, which makes Mark Bonet unable to give up

Evan Bell seems to know the entanglement and struggle of Mark Bonet. He is not in a hurry, just chatting, giving Mark Bonet enough time to think. In the end, Mark Bonet was extremely depressed. Chosen to refuse, "I think such a drama is still not suitable"

The current TV station lacks both ratings and word of mouth, but relatively speaking, it still lacks ratings. If Evan Bell can come up with a plan like "jailbreak", it would be great for Mark Bonnet. I know Even if he takes it back, it is estimated that this plan will not be passed. So, even if he knows that "Mad Men" is favored by Evan Bell, Mark Bonet still has to choose the ratings For the first, I can only reluctantly give up

Evan Bell is not surprised at all. Shows like "Mad Men" are more suitable for cable TV stations, because they have always paid more attention to the audience than the quality. I just hope that the audience who watch this show will like the show and keep the audience's attention. Subscription rate, that's enough

Mark Bonet looked at Evan Bell, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Evan, since 'Mad Men' is a plan for next year, does Eleven Studio have no other plans this year?" Just now Evan Bell has kindly proposed a plan, and it can be seen that he highly respects "Mad Men", but Mark Bonet directly rejected it; now he has an inch and Mark Bonet also knows It's not good to behave like this yourself, but this is a negotiation in the business field, isn't it? Even if he knew that Evan Bell would not pick up again, he had to get a clear answer.

"No, Eleven Studios has no other TV series plans this year," Evan Bell said flatly, extinguishing Mark Bonet's last hope

I ask everyone to support the power wow, and also offer a monthly ticket, a subscription, and an annual work ticket to be continued)
