Chapter 1703： ethical bottom line

Today's first update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Vince-Jilijing looked very seriously at the boy named Evan-Bell in front of him, very seriously.

Why do you use the word "serious", because there should be no people in the entertainment industry who don't know Evan Bell. Evan Bell's young, flamboyant, unruly and handsome face is almost everywhere, and everyone is familiar with this face.

However, when I saw it with my own eyes, this feeling was different. With two eyes, a nose, and a mouth, this young man was not a mutant alien, but the calm and warm smile on his face was It's so real that people can't help but keep their eyes on the arc of the corner of the mouth.

"Are you confirming whether I am Evan Bell? Or are you wondering why I came to find you?" Evan Bell said, with a smile on his face. Although this is the most lively December for screenwriters, with the arrival of Christmas, the drama activities are getting more and more intense, I am afraid that this year's New Year's Eve will be different. At this time, everyone can't see the dawn of the end of the screenwriter's **—in other words, there is no sign that the producers will compromise, but this does not hinder the daily life of other people, and everyone's life must continue. Even the screenwriters who are in the midst of **** are the same.

Vince Gilligan was recalled by Evan Bell's words, and subconsciously supported his black mirror frame, "Both."

"That's good, Tong Yi, I'm Evan Bell, that's a fact." Evan Bell's words made Vince Jiilligan laugh, and the literary atmosphere was instantly destroyed. Uncle Nian, "Secondly, I've known you since you wrote the script for 'You Archives', but then I thought you didn't continue to write the script any more, so when I heard about the 'National Superman Hancock,' When you wrote the script, you couldn't help but wonder if you were still writing TV drama scripts."

This is also the reason Evan Bell told Thomas Lansing that he couldn't say "Because I was born again, knowing that Vince Gilligan would create that amazing set of 'Breaking Bad'" so you guys Go find him. "Only one reason can be thought of to convince Thomas-Lansing, but also Vince-Gilligan.

In fact, this reason is not perfect, but Evan-Bell now has too much halo around him, which makes people less likely to question him often, so he is fooled by him. At this time, Vince-Gilligan did the same. Hearing Evan-Bell's explanation, the smile became wider, and a little bit of shyness appeared.

Before today's meeting, Thomas Lansing and Vince Gilligan had met at least five times, from his writing the script for "Hancock," all the way to the outline of the "Breaking Bad" script. Out, Thomas-Lansing is gradually approaching Vince-Gilligan. So, when the idea of ​​"Breaking Bad" was conceived, Vince Gilligan told Thomas Lansing immediately, and Thomas Lansing immediately brought good news that shocked him: Eleven Studios is willing to produce the series.

For a screenwriter, the most important thing is not which company makes its own script, but a company that is willing to make its own script. As for the importance of Eleven Studios, making the script more important, this can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. After all, selling the script and making it into an episode is the number one priority. The screenwriter of "Prison Break" Paul Schurling left Fox TV with this series, which is the most direct performance, and Evan Bell did not intend to blame Paul Schurling, they were just for a meal Just eat.

So, when Vince Gilligan learned that Studio Eleven was willing to make "Breaking Bad," he was naturally overjoyed.

He hasn't even finished the entire story system of "Breaking Bad". The script creation can only be regarded as a quarter of the completion. There is still a long process before it is put into production. The willingness to buy scripts and produce episodes is no different to Vince Gilligan, who is in economic crisis, and it even exceeds the joy of the screenwriter "Superman Hancock". Movies are always just movies, one-episode deals, sequels are not so common; TV shows are more stable for writers.

"Evan, Thomas told me last time that you are very interested in the script of 'Breaking Bad' and are willing to make this series, but aren't you worried that this series will challenge the moral bottom line of society?" Vince-Gilligan pushed his glasses nervously and asked.

"Breaking Bad" is about a chemistry teacher who used his scientific knowledge to manufacture drugs and embarked on the road of drug trafficking, which is of course a proposition that challenges the moral stack.

Evan-Bell smiled, "What is the moral bottom line?" Vince-Gilligan was stunned by this rhetorical question, and seemed to want to say something when he opened his mouth, but Evan-Bell shook his head, "The moral bottom line is Society tells you not to do this, you shouldn't do it, and it is inconsistent with your education. So, I want to ask you, does drinking violate the moral bottom line?" Vince Gilligan shook his head, Evan Bell laughed, "No, drinking violates the moral bottom line of those who advocate prohibition. Likewise, meat consumption violates the moral bottom line of vegetarians."

Evan-Bell deliberately magnified the problem, which made Vince-Gilligan stunned, but involuntarily followed Evan-Bell's thoughts and moved forward, "I mean, in fact, everyone's moral bottom line is Differently, some people think that at the age of 30, still relying on family support and doing nothing is a challenge to the bottom line of morality; on the contrary, some people think that it is nothing to do nothing at the age of 30, even if it should not be the case, but at least it does not violate morality, because he did not commit a crime. Is that so?"

Vince-Gilligan nodded in understanding. Evan Bell did not intend to continue the example, but brought the topic back to "Breaking Bad", "In the story of 'Breaking Bad, Walter White is very special, his His life was coming to an end, which made him a desperado. What are desperadoes, they are people who risk their lives and see everything as nothing. Why is the law so scary, because breaking it will Sanctions caused by the state apparatus will lead to imprisonment, disgrace, or even death. But for the desperados, if he doesn't even want to die, how can he be afraid? Therefore, the moral bottom line is not for them at all. Important, isn't it?"

Vince Gilligan heard his story, and his spirit came back immediately. He quickly shook his head, "No, no. Walter is not like this, he is not a desperado." He strongly denied Evan Bell's point of view , "Everything Walter does is for the family. He doesn't care about death, but he still cares about his family. As long as he cares, he will be restrained by the moral bottom line. He cannot be discovered by the law, otherwise he will make drugs and earn money. Not only does the money fail to support his family, it puts his family in danger, which he will not allow."

"Yes, this is what I want." Evan Bell did not refute Vince Gilligan again, but showed a look of great admiration, "Walter was cornered, he had to do this, on the one hand He knew that he was wrong, and his moral conscience was preventing him from continuing to sin; but on the one hand, the pressure of life and the threat of death forced him to do so, otherwise his separation would be fatal to his family. Not only will he die, maybe his family will die too. It can be said that Walter is not only committing a crime, he is also struggling with the bottom line of morality."

"Audiences have a sense of substitution. When they are in love with Dai Can, the moral bottom line will also play a role." Evan-Bell went on to say, and Vince-Gilligan's expression has gradually become clear, he Understand what Evan Bell is going to say, and he has the same idea before, "on the one hand, the audience will criticize what Walter has done, knowing that it needs to be punished by law; Together with Walter's fate, and wondering how Walter will deal with the endless crisis, the ups and downs with Walter's fate. All of us know that Walter will eventually die or be punished by the law, but we have to follow Walter Te's life has its ups and downs. That's the beauty of drama, isn't it?"

In fact, Vince Gilligan just told the concept of "Breaking Bad" to Thomas Lansing I didn't expect Thomas Lansing to express that Studio Eleven was willing to make this series , and even more exaggerated, Evan Bell soon made a special appointment to meet Vince Gilligan.

Originally Vance-Gilligan thought that Evan-Bell was just a profit-seeking businessman, or was interested in this subject, but now it seems that Evan-Bell's understanding of "Breaking Bad" and his The ideas coincide, and the whole idea is very clear and accurate.

This precise positioning is really a good thing for Vince-Gilligan, because he can win Evan-Bell as writer-executive producer for the production of the series in this situation. With the greatest support, he even wanted to agree immediately.

But Vince-Gilligan was not a newcomer either. He still forced himself to swallow the words of promise that had already poured into his throat, and then forced his excited thoughts to calm down a little, clarify his thoughts, and then asked. To, "But, Evan, I'm still in the outline conception stage for this script right now, and you know how important a good outline is for a show that wants to be long-term.

So, I don't know when the outline will be completed, and I don't know when I can officially write the story of the first episode of the script. Does it matter? "
