Bill Prady has been talking to Evan Bell for more than half an hour, but it was only then that he faced the teenager in front of him for the first time. www.) There are many rumors about Evan Bell in the entertainment industry, but the word-of-mouth has always been very positive in terms of making dramas.

Evan Bell has always been fond of excellent TV series. Even if Studio Eleven cannot produce it, he is willing to sell it to other TV stations. With the platform of Studio Eleven, when the script is resold to other TV stations, he will always get two extra points. Valued, and Evan Bell has many excellent insights into the episode itself, which can often be a source of inspiration for producers.

One of the most classic cases is "Hero". This drama was unhappy on the TV station and received attention after it came to the Eleventh Studio. Later, although the Eleventh Studio did not plan to produce it, it was sold to the TV station. , and now it shines on TV.

Therefore, Evan Bell has always had a good reputation in the TV drama circle, and it is no wonder that major TV stations always give Evan Bell a high look.

But Bill Prady has been unsure, Evan Bell's willingness to be interested in the show "Lanny, Penny and Kenny", and a simple "I see the potential of this show" can't convince Bill - Prady. It's not that Bill Prady has no confidence in the work he planned, but that CBS TV and Warner Bros. failed to see the potential of this show, but Evan Bell, a young man, can see that Bill Prady is really Is skeptical.

After this period of conversation, Bill Prady really had a new perspective on Evan Bell. It can be seen that Evan Bell's research on "Lanny, Penny and Kenny" is indeed a research, and it is still a very in-depth study; secondly, Evan Bell is really sincere, even if not right Bill Prady's, also for the show; in the end, Evan Bell's well-informed does have real material. Maybe not brainstorming, but at least it gave Bill Prady a lot of new ideas.

Bill Prady looked at Evan Bell carefully, then said after a while, "Whether we can work together or not. But I still want to thank you for your generosity."

Evan Bell was not polite, but lowered his eyebrows in frustration, "Bill, you know, this is not the answer I want." This sentence made Bill Prady laugh involuntarily. Evan Bell's little straightforwardness is different from the seriousness of the top executives of other big film companies, and he has a sunny and cheerful look that belongs to his age. Even if it's straightforward, it's not annoying.

"Evan, you know, I'm not alone in this show." The most direct meaning of Bill Prady's sentence is: Don't forget Chuck Lorre. But to further understand, it can also be considered that Bill Prady does not exclude the cooperation with Eleven Studio, but it depends on Chuck Lorre's attitude. Of course, this is just a sentence. Exactly how much content, only Bill Prady knows.

Evan Bell also knows that Warner Bros. has put a lot of effort into "The Big Bang Theory". I am very supportive of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady. What's more, Chuck Lorre and Warner Bros. and CBS TV all had a pleasant experience in the production of "Two and a Half Heroes". Therefore, it is normal for Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady to continue to insist on cooperating with Warner Bros.

Therefore, Evan Bell did not intend to put further pressure on it. He has done his best to make things happen. As for the result, it is the best to let nature take its course. "Of course. The success of any show. It is the result of the whole team working together." He responded this time with a simple courtesy.

Bill Prady paused, then asked, "Evan, can you tell me why you love this show so much? Or, where did your confidence in this show come from?"

Evan Bell couldn't help laughing. In fact, everyone in the circle always has countless doubts about his "wisdom eye", but they rarely ask questions directly like Bill Prady, "I think this is a show that does not insult the audience's IQ. Such an answer. , I don't know if you are satisfied?"

Evan Bell's answer surprised Bill Prady, and this answer can generate infinite ideas. For example, it implies that the four geek scientists in the play, this is a professional drama with high IQ; for example, it is a drama that is responsible to the audience and wins with real quality; A lot of episodes..."shows that don't insult the audience's IQ", which is a lofty but also very personal goal.

As we all know, although soap operas are pitiful, and the plots are mentally retarded and **** enough to make people shout at the table, but soap operas are the longest-lived dramas, and they seem to be endless. Furthermore, since the most important viewing group for TV dramas has always been housewives, life-oriented dramas like "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy" are also hobbies that housewives can't give up, so the plot is stacked. In the process, there will inevitably be some **** parts.

Therefore, it is not an easy task to make a "drama that does not insult the audience's IQ", because a drama that does not really insult the audience's IQ is often high and low, winning praise from word of mouth, but in terms of ratings Abandoned by the audience.

In this way, Evan Bell's words are an encouragement, but also a burden. However, this is the most obvious Evan Bell style, and it also makes Bill Prady shine. This sentence really moved Bill Prady.

Not to mention what Bill Prady thinks of Eleven Studio and Evan Bell, just talking about the dramas produced by Eleven Studio, all of which are high-quality products, this can be seen from Eleven's work. The studio is serious about each episode. And Evan Bell still maintains such a high enthusiasm for the work "Lanny, Penny and Kenny" that is currently in a dilemma, which makes Bill Prady willing to believe that with the help of Eleven Studios Next, this series can also be reborn and eventually become a work that makes people applaud.

Five days after Bill Prady ended his meeting with Evan Bell, Barry Mayer called Evan Bell and said, "What scheming did you use to put both Bill and Chuck on the line? Pulled over to your camp?"

Evan Bell didn't react at first, thinking it was Bill Prady who appreciated his efforts, so he just chuckled, "I wish I had the magic to pull them to work eleven. Come on. But I think I'm just honestly sharing some of my thoughts on the show with Bill, that's all."

"Then, you succeeded." Barry Mayer's sentence made Evan Bell stunned and replied, "What do you mean?" Barry Mayer continued, "I mean, Bill and Charlie Ke hopes to be able to work with Eleven Studios on this series."

"Really? Really? Really? Wow!" Evan Bell immediately jumped up from his seat. In fact, Evan Bell has lost hope. Because of the conversation that day, his efforts were more focused on the episodes, and the efforts to win Bill Prady to Studio Eleven did not seem to be worked. Thinking about Chuck Lorre's relationship with Warner Bros., it's actually very difficult to make "The Big Bang Theory" write the name of Studio Eleven. Unexpectedly, I got good news from Barry Mayer today, which really surprised Evan Bell.

When Barry Mayer heard Evan Bell's series of exclamations, he couldn't help laughing helplessly, "Evan, you're happy, what about me?"

"Barry, if they are willing to reach a cooperation with Eleven Studio, you can't stop it! You yourself gave up on continuing to produce the pilot episode." Evan Bell breathed a sigh of relief and said hastily.

Barry Mayer listened to Evan Bell's eager tone, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly sketched, "Evan, I didn't say that, I just said pause before, give Chuck a little time to breathe. . We are going to make it now, and we can still reopen this project. After all, this is a project that Evan Bell values ​​so much, and this is definitely a rare opportunity!" To see Evan Bell in the negotiation process An anxious expression is not a common thing. Barry Mayer couldn't help but wanted to make fun of Evan Bell, or to play tricks. After all, in previous confrontations, Barry Mayernae Vin Bell has never been able to do anything about it.

Evan Bell is also aware of his complacence, mainly because he did not hold out hope this time, but got unexpected joy. This sudden ecstasy made Evan Bell lose his sense of proportion This is not immediately It was seized by Barry Mayer. "Barry, so, do you really want to go ahead and restart this project?"

If Barry Mayer really wants to continue the "Lanny, Penny and Kenny" project, he won't call Evan Bell to announce the good news, but will continue to set up the project, and then at most Evan - Bell said once "unfortunately" and that's it. So, Evan Bell threw that sentence back.

Barry Mayer heard the helplessness in Evan Bell's tone and laughed smugly. This is a rare opportunity, and he must enjoy this moment. After laughing enough, Barry Mayer said, "Eight million dollars. I'll give it to Eleven Studios."

There are many projects under Warner Bros. Since the company has decided to shelve this project for the time being, and now because of Evan Bell's reasons, hope has been rekindled, but there is only a little hope, and it is still uncertain what it will look like. , so it's better to just follow the flow and make it for Eleven Studio, which can be regarded as a medium for good cooperation between the two parties.

"Deal!" Evan Bell replied simply and neatly.
