Chapter 1577： Willing to win

The third update today, please recommend, please subscribe!

Evan Bell doesn't know why "Lanny, Penny and Kenny" was rejected by CBS for the second time because he hasn't seen the pilot episode, and he doesn't know where the show that will win everyone's love in the future is now. is something wrong. www.) Moreover, Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre are both people who have been in the TV circle for many years, and Bill Prady, a computer programmer, as a screenwriter, after being rejected by CBS TV last spring, has been silent for a long time. After half a year of making a comeback, it was still rejected, which is really incredible.

However, in society, the process is never important, the result is the measure of everything. The Olympic Games shouting "friendship first, competition second" is not only in Asia, but also in Europe and the United States. The gold medal is the real focus, and there are not many cases where the loser who loses the gold medal can win the attention. This is especially true in a field where interests come first like the entertainment industry.

CBS TV rejected Chakroll - even the success of "Two and a Half Heroes" did not make CBS TV open to Chakroll, interests are the most important; and Warner Bros. cooperated with Chuckroll "Two and a Half Heroes", and Bill Prady on "Gilmore Girls", but they are willing to spend money to make expensive pilot episodes, which is not easy, and now both times Failed, and they are not willing to waste money and energy a third time.

In this case, Warner Bros. had already decided to stop the "Lanny, Penny and Kenny" proposal, but Evan Bell came to the door. Evan Bell accidentally learned about this project while chatting with Barry Mayer. Evan Bell was very surprised by the predicament of "The Big Bang Theory". Although there are countless such things in the entertainment industry, Evan Bell is very surprised by the predicament of "The Big Bang Theory". Bell still sighed a little.

Evan Bell suggested to Barry Mayer that the current show called "Lanny, Penny, and Kenny" actually has a lot of potential, and he thinks Warner Bros. Three chances. Barry Mayer naturally knew that Evan Bell was not a targetless person, and people also had absolute awareness of Evan Bell's discerning eyes. But Barry Mayer has decided to shelve the plan for a while. Even if a third chance is to be given, it is not recently, at least it should wait for a while.

So Barry Mayer asked Evan Bell if he was interested in giving Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady some guidance. Evan Bell jokingly returned. "If I gave them some advice on the script, it wouldn't be making wedding dresses for Warner Bros. I might as well get it myself and make it by Eleven Studios."

Barry Mayer had no objection, so Evan Bell found Bill Prady.

However, Bill Prady has recently been in a stage of precipitation and reflection. It seems that there is no hurry to make a major revision to the script of "Lanny, Penny and Kenny", and plan to take a new step after clarifying the idea. Chakroll also has the same idea. They must understand which link they are lacking in. After all, this idea is still very good.

Evan Bell's persuasion didn't hold much appeal to Bill Prady, because what Eleven could offer, in fact, Warner Bros. had already offered to them: enough freedom, enough money, enough support . It's just that they haven't been able to convert these advantages into a paper agreement for CBS TV before. As for the legendary Evan Bell point finger www.7ket, Bill Prady is not too convinced.

Evan Bell looked at Bill Prady's expression and knew that he was not convinced by his tirade. Even if Evan Bell's eloquence is excellent. But he is powerless in the face of people who have no desires and no desires. That's probably how other studios feel when they hand in scripts to Evan Bell. Evan Bell knew that instead of impressing Bill Prady with those so-called benefits. It's better to start with the script, this is the part that Bill Prady cares about most.

"Bill, have you ever thought about why the plot was still unsuccessful after the heroine was replaced from Katie to Penny?" Evan Bell's question finally aroused Bill Prady's interest. Looking at Evan Bell, he seemed to be asking Evan Bell's opinion. "The settings of the two male protagonists are correct, and the female protagonist has also been replaced with a lively and lovely style. These are all parts that can stand out. So is the creativity not good enough? Or is the story too bad?"

Actually Evan Bell's question. That's what Bill Prady and Chuck Lorre have been thinking about lately. Bill Prady was silent for a moment, "A comedy, there are many sources of laughter, I've been thinking about whether the laughter of this idea is not as good as expected."

"There are many reasons why the laughter is not as good as expected. It is because the topic is not enough. The characters are too weak, or the setting of the laughter is incomprehensible." Evan Bell is actually a layman in the production of comedy, and Chakroll is the real one. experts. Therefore, Evan Bell didn't have any troubles, and just said something casually, which was an introduction.

Sure enough, Bill Prady didn't dodge this time, but hesitantly said, "The problem is, in our second pilot, the audience was very fond of the two geek scientists, and they both showed Enough enthusiasm. It means that the topic, the characters and the jokes all play a role, but it all comes together and it doesn't seem to be living up to expectations."

Looking at Bill Prady's thoughtful expression, Evan Bell knew that his guidance was working, and he still had to find the right way to connect the dialogue, "Then have you ever thought that the personality conflict between the two male protagonists is still the same? Not enough?"

Bill Prady looked up and frowned at Evan Bell. "You mean adding characters? Isn't that the same as 'Friends'? A story of a group of friends getting together."

"First, the stories told in all TV series come from life, whether it's 'Friends' or this sitcom you're making, the focus is not on the subject matter, but on how to create a laugh through the characters and settings." Evan Bell's words immediately made Bill Prady understand. He just wanted to be wrong. There is still a big difference between the two dramas "Friends" and "Lanny, Penny and Kenny". "Second, adding characters is to show the personality of a geek scientist from different aspects. This has a full effect on the plot. Why not?"

Evan Bell noticed that the two most important characters, Howard and Rajesh, are missing from the current "Lanny, Penny and Kenny" concept!

In the future "Big Bang Theory", the four scientists have different personalities. Sheldon is the most quirky existence and the most extreme representative of geeks; Leonard is relatively normal, and is regarded as the most Realistic characters; Howard is a self-proclaimed romantic existence, his fantasies about women are very obscene, but at the same time are often the most direct joke maker; Rajesh has a very serious social disorder, in non-drinking situations He can't talk to women, and his presence as an Indian is one of the most important additions to the conversation in American life.

It can be said that these four characters each represent part of the culture and personality, and even without the existence of female characters, the way they get along with each other is full of jokes. To put it simply, there are countless laughs when four people with different personalities meet - "Friends" and "Two and a Half Heroes" all prove this, and "The Big Bang Theory" brings together four geek scientists , the laughter is even more distinctive.

The lack of two characters, Howard and Rajesh, is definitely a fatal blow to the entire series. It is no wonder that the effect of the first two pilot episodes failed to meet expectations.

Although Evan Bell did not say it in detail, just one sentence made Bill Prady's eyes light up. In fact, it's not that Bill Prady and Chakroll didn't think about it, but they were a little limited by their thoughts, and they have been focusing on Sheldon and Leonard. This is also the reason why they need a little time to think. When they calm down, they will soon be able to think of various key points. Adding roles and enriching personality conflicts will inevitably enter the minds of the two screenwriters.

Now, with a little inspiration from Evan Bell, Bill Prady understood right away. Evan Bell laughed, and then said, "Also, since you plan to describe the story of a geek scientist, you either don't do it or do it to the extreme, and the professionalism of the lines must be rigorously verified. Does the audience listen to it? Understanding is not the point, the point is to build the image of a geek scientist in its entirety."

In fact, this sentence is nothing more than Evan Bell's consistent point of view: the role is very important Even if it is just a supporting role, the completeness of the character construction can play a decisive role in the improvement of the entire story.

Bill Prady didn't show much expression this time, just looked at Evan Bell with a pondering face, and found Evan Bell a little inexplicable. Bill Prady was silent for a while, and then he said, "Evan, if you say what you have to say about this show, Chuck and I are still reluctant to work with Eleven Studios to produce this show. Do you want to work on it, or stay at Warner Bros.?"

Evan Bell smiled, "Bill, if my opinion can make you create an outstanding work, then it is my honor. Maybe, I can't participate as a producer, but at least I can as a producer. The audience is involved, isn't it?" Evan Bell's tolerance is something that many major film companies do not have.

Evan Belt paused, with a casual and bright smile on his face, "Of course, I still hope we can cooperate, after all, I am determined to win this show! Don't you feel my sincerity in my eyes? ?"

Ask for a monthly pass! There will be one more later! RQ
