Evan Bell soon saw Chuck Lowe and Bill Prady again

Warner Bros. is indeed rich and powerful. It knows that the show "Lanny, Penny and Kenny" is favored by Evan Bell. Not to mention the development potential, just talking about the laws of the buyer's market and the seller's market, we know that Warner Bros. It is normal for brothers to raise prices. Therefore, it is not difficult for the copyright of this drama to go up to 10 million, but Warner Bros. is looking at the personal relationship with Evan Bell, "only" with 8 million. Although the sale to Evan Bell is still twice as expensive as the original "Hero" series of four million, it can still be regarded as a cheap friendship price-because the cost of the previous two pilot episodes is also can be included

Eight million dollars is a lot of money for Eleven Studio, because there will be a third time to prepare for the pilot episode, and the production cost of the TV series, etc., it is not a small amount, but Evan -Bell agreed without saying a word. On the one hand, he knew that the price offered by Warner Bros. was very reasonable. On the other hand, he knew that the economic value that this drama can create in the future is definitely more than ten times the investment of 8 million. , absolutely no loss

After changing bosses, Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady came to see Evan Bell, not just for the boss, but for the show itself Evan Bell stayed in LA after the Oscars, but who knows When is he going to come back to New York, then Chuck Lorre and the others have to fly to New York, which is definitely a hassle

Besides, they must have further communication with Evan Bell about the future development plan of the series, such as the time and funding of the pilot episode, and whether the series will continue with CBS after leaving Warner Bros. However, before everyone had time to start talking about the planning of the episode, a few people had a fierce quarrel over the episode itself: Obviously, these people attached great importance to the episode itself.

"Shit if Sheldon was the first male lead on the show, this show would definitely be nasty" Evan Bell's voice sounded agitated "All characters, I mean, four geek scientists , one does not leak, all are the protagonists, they are a collective, no one can come out alone, even if the role of Sheldon is the most extreme and the easiest to create conflicts, everyone is still the same.

Both Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady believe that there should be an attribute distinction among the four geek scientists. For example, Sheldon should be the first male lead and Penny is the first female lead, so according to normal In terms of development, it should be something happened between Sheldon and Penny. Unexpectedly, this view has been slammed by Evan Bell - not about who is ambiguous with whom, but Problems with the setting of the protagonist

"However, Evan, if there is no first male protagonist, it will be very unfavorable for the setting of the story line of the series," Chuck Lorre couldn't help but say that it was like "two and a half heroes", although there are three The main character, but the core is still the unstoppable Charlie Sheen

Evan Bell shook his head and said only one sentence, "Then tell me who is the first protagonist of 'Friends'"

"Rachel", "Ross", Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady gave different answers, but Evan Bell said, "I can also think of Joey, you don't know that there will be after 'Friends' Is a special spin-off called 'Joy'?" Evan Bell's remarks are similar to slander, but the two screenwriters can't say anything to refute

Evan Bell then went on to say, "I mean, each character has its own charm, each character is the protagonist, but the focus is different in each episode of the story, for example, Sher. Dayton, can you imagine what it feels like to fall in love?" Evan Bell is actually conceivable, because in the fourth season of his last life, Sheldon also began to fall in love, a different way of love, " He lives in his own little universe. He is very proud of his high IQ, so it is impossible for him to fall in love with Penny, who is almost an 'idiot', like countless Cinderella stories. This is really unimaginable. of"

"Maybe, when Sheldon and Penny are talking, Sheldon is like an alien, Penny is a normal person, and the communication between the two may be similar to the feeling of the comics, and even a little crazy. Ni's attitude towards Sheldon is how most of us ordinary people feel." Evan Bell recalled, organizing his own language while recalling the picture, "and when Penny came into contact with Leonard, she went back and forth. It's another feeling, Leonard is also a geek, but not as extreme as Sheldon, Sheldon is unbearable, but only Leonard can stand him, so they are roommates Maybe, Penny can It's also an arrangement to have a relationship with Leonard, who is relatively normal."

Evan Bell said a lot here, and Chuck Lorre quickly responded, "You mean, everyone has their own characteristics, so everyone feels in the process of getting along too. Maybe, Sheldon is a female insulator, so Leonard can be held accountable for emotional matters."

"Yes, maybe the two added roles, Howard can be a wretched man who promises to be romantic, but he can't always get the girl's heart; and Rajesh is the representative of shyness, he doesn't even dare to talk to the girl "Evan Bell added.

"We can also dig into their family background to see what environment they grew up in and how their parents raised such freaks." Bill Prady's idea quickly followed. , he started talking involuntarily, but he just said a word, and he stopped in place like this, with a weird smile on his face. Obviously, Bill Prady is building countless pictures in his mind, and his thoughts are like springs.

"That's what I mean. Chuck has more experience than me in making comedies. A comedy needs to produce more than 20 episodes a year. If the whole character is not established, the story of each episode will be fragmented and will not attract the audience." Evan Bell echoed that in fact, the shooting of sitcoms should generally follow this principle, and the same is true for "Two and a Half Heroes", but the series "Lanny, Penny and Kenny" is a little more special, the character of a geek scientist The settings are different from ordinary people and have similarities, but they still have to show special or even weird personality highlights.

For a time, neither Chuck Lorre nor Bill Prady spoke, but Evan Bell left Evan Bell in the cold, but Evan Bell didn't mind, because he knew that the two screenwriters were building a complete world in their minds , After the idea is clear, everyone will discuss it, improve the story together, and make the characters complete, then the drama will be born

"Evan, what about the actor?" Chuck Lorre seemed to think for a while, and then asked

"What actor?" Evan Bell didn't react. He had already had two pilot episodes before, and Evan Bell thought that the actors had already been selected - except for the two most joined Howard and Rajesh. roles

Chuck Lorre smiled awkwardly, "You know, the whole pilot episode took too long..."

When preparing for the pilot episode, of course, all the actors have to be selected. If the pilot episode is favored, then these actors are the real team and can directly enter the official shooting. On the contrary, the pilot episode was rejected by the episode. Then all the actors are naturally disbanded on the spot, even if this job opportunity is gone, "Lanny, Penny and Kenny" belong to the latter

When Chuck Lorre first prepared the pilot episode, it was more than a year ago. After being rejected by CBS TV, the crew naturally disbanded. The second pilot episode was at the end of last year, but it still failed. Now, and Warner Bros. has announced that this plan is temporarily shelved, it is naturally impossible for the actors to stay. Therefore, if the pilot episode is to be filmed for the third time, the actors must be recruited again.

After Evan Bell understood the process, he suddenly realized that he thought that actors such as Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki had already been selected. Now it seems that everything must be started from scratch Evan Bell After thinking about it, he remembered the names of these actors. After all, there are only five main actors, and they all became popular because of this drama Naturally, it is not difficult, but the problem is that now the drama of this series is very popular. The story framework is still not complete, and the personalities of several main characters have not been constructed.

"So, you go back and write the story of the pilot first, and then complete the background settings of the five main characters. When these are ready, we will find the actors. During this process, I will let Sean Mayer. Er will pay attention to see if there are suitable actors, and there will be an actor public interview at that time.” Evan Bell still thinks that the script is always the most important. Besides, the actors who have starred in this series, he estimates that he will still According to the historical trajectory, all starred in this drama

Evan Bell's words made Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady nodded, and this arrangement was obviously to their liking, "By the way, the name of the show is really not catchy enough, so let's change it. One"

"Bill and I thought the same thing," Chuck Lorre said, nodding. "We wanted to have a strong title, but we never thought of it."

Evan Bell raised his eyebrows, "That's called 'The Big Bang Theory...'"
