"Didn't I hear last time that Thomas had two comedy books in his hand, didn't he put in the filming?" Evan-Bell knew that with Eleven Studio's current strength, he had the ability to invest 200 million to shoot a work. Yes, but it will inevitably hurt the bones, so Thomas Lansing and others have not relaxed their vigilance for low-cost works.

Eleven Studio has not started shooting new works for a long time since Evan Bell finished shooting "Juno". Before Evan Bell set off for a backpacking trip, I vaguely remembered that there were several projects in the start-up stage. Yes, but when I came back, I didn't hear anything.

Teddy Bell shook his head, "You know, the book of comedy is the most uncertain. We have never filmed a comedy before, so neither Thomas nor Kurt were able to put the plan into filming."

This answer made Evan Bell feel quite surprised, "'High School Musical, isn't it a comedy?" This sentence made Teddy Bell's simple and honest face suddenly stiff, and Katherine Bell and Frank were next to him. Derimes burst out laughing. "When did Thomas and the others take such a forward-looking and backward-looking view? Didn't the 'Queen in Prada, such an unpopular plan' make a decision on the spot?"

Comedy works have always been regarded as a typical case of ants eating a big tree. Imagine the proud achievements of "big belly overnight" last summer, and people can't help but envy. Compared with the money-burning game of commercial blockbusters, the shooting cost of comedies is low. The “Fake God” which failed miserably last summer is an exception, but the results are often very gratifying. This is also a field that major film companies are very involved in. The current Universal Pictures is A typical comedy company.

But this summer, comedy movies have suffered from Waterloo, from Eddie Murphy to Will Ferrell, from Adam **** to Jim Carrey, and even to super beauties like Jessica Alba and Megan Fox. The joining of comedy films has not been able to save the decline of comedy movies, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the situation of comedy this summer with annihilation. In this summer's wave of forty comedies, only three survivors, "The Confused Detective," "Pineapple Express," and "Tropical Thunder," show how dire the situation is.

Although it is said that the low-investment filming cycle of comedy works is relatively short, it is an excellent target for short-term low-cost investment, but it is really not easy to make the same comedy work. Long gone is the endless stream of blockbuster comedy films.

Although Studio Eleven has never failed since its establishment, it is now in a critical period of development. It is like walking a tightrope. Any failure will usher in a dangerous collapse. Don't talk about the big investment of 200 million US dollars like "Alice in Wonderland", even the investment of tens of millions of comedy films must be cautious, and more importantly, even if the comedy film loses money, it will not hurt your bones. Once the so-called "invincible myth" of the studio is shattered, there must be many people in the entire critic who are willing to get down.

Thomas-Lansing, Curt-Laporte, and Tee-Case have their own strengths and strengths, and they have a lot to discuss with each other. In the past two years, they have organized the release of Eleven, and took over the production of Eleven produced by Teddy Bell. Most of the business is also doing well. But they want to be cautious when it comes to breaking new ground.

"They still want to hear your opinion." Teddy Bell stated the fundamental reason, which is the important factor that Thomas and Lansing have been hesitant to start the two comedy plans until now.

Hearing this sentence, Evan Bell did not feel satisfied, on the contrary, he was a little worried. Evan-Bell has always had a clear understanding of the work. He does not blindly believe in the memories of the previous life. Rather, he starts from the work itself and measures the work from his own perspective, because Evan-Bell knows that , the memory of his last life will end in the knife-edge year. If there is no end of the world, then he will not have the advantage of rebirth. So he has to work **** himself to go further.

This is true of music, this is true of movies, and the same is true for Eleven Studios. Xi-like, Evan-Bell also hopes that its managers can gradually break away from their own influence and gradually become independent. Eleven Studios has Egyptian Wen Yibeier's personal style and personal branding are good things, but everything is tied to the Aegis Bell, which is a disaster.

Evan-Bell himself has never stopped working hard. Similarly, Teddy-Bell, who originally knew nothing about the entertainment industry, is also working hard. Eden-Hudson has stepped out of the legal field and shouldered ten A responsibility of the studio network department. Now it's Thomas-Lansing, Kurt-Laporte, Tey-Case and others. Evan-Bell doesn't know if these three will leave Studio Eleven in the future, or will they always follow them Go on, but at least now everyone is of one mind, then the three of them must shoulder the responsibility of eleven production. Evan Bell also has high hopes for them.

But think about it carefully. In fact, under the leadership of Thomas and Lansing, the production of Eleventh and the release of Eleventh have been on the right track. In terms of distribution strategy, they did not rely on Evan-Bell or Tai. Di Yibel came to make decisions. Even in terms of production, they basically made a decision, and then gave Evan Yibel a look to confirm it. It was not just going through the motions, but also establishing principles of conduct and judgment in the process. Confidence .

Thinking of this, Evan Bell knew that Thomas, Lansing and the three of them had done well, not to mention the past, but today's talk, whether it is a large investment of 200 million US dollars, or a comedy film dabbling , They are all discussing and discussing themselves, and they did not pin their hopes on Evan-Bell. Now it is just a final decision at a critical moment. It is normal to listen to some Evan-Bell's suggestions. If it wasn't for Teddy Bell, they didn't find Evan Bell directly, which shows that they are still working hard. So, don't be too hasty, the development of Eleven Studio is still on the right path.

After Teddy Bell finished speaking, he saw his brother's eyebrows leaning slightly in the middle, as if he was a little worried, but he quickly relaxed, and he continued, "At the end of August, John I. A play with Lee Hancock as the director and Sandra Bullock as the heroine has already started. The budget is 25 million.”

Evan Bell raised his eyes, "'Perfect world, screenwriter?" This is John-Lee Hancock, the screenwriter-turned-director whose first screenwriting work has won numerous accolades for "The Perfect World" ." Directed by Clint Eastwood, he has also begun to try to make some achievements in the director position in recent years, but it does not seem to be ideal at present. "What is your name?"

"'Weakness' tells a rugby story. Teddy Bell said, Evan Bell's eyes lit up, and then nodded, indicating that he was studying, which made Teddy Bell a little relieved, and then said, "The comedy script, you are going to read it." see? "

Evan-Bell didn't pause this time, just nodded, "Show it to me after dinner later, Thomas and the others have hesitated for so long, there must be a reason."

Teddy Bell couldn't help laughing, "I guess there is no reason, it seems that I have some doubts about comedy movies."

"Catherine, what's for dinner?" Evan Bell did not ask any more, but changed the subject.

Catherine Bell heard the question from her younger son and laughed, "You're tired of eating pasta for two meals in a row, right?" Evan Bell shrugged, noncommittal, "I'll make Chinese food that night. Well, I think you're just greedy." Hearing this, Evan Bell showed a satisfied smile, obviously having infinite expectations for dinner. Seeing this smile in Catherine Bell's eyes, she immediately felt very satisfied.

In the evening, Evan-Bell ate straight up. Catherine-Bell now had free time in order to take care of her youngest son's stomach. She went to study the cuisines of various countries, among which Chinese cuisine also put in the most effort. Seeing Evan-Bell eating too much, like he didn't grow up, lying on the sofa and humming, Catherine-Bell felt amused, "Who made you eat so muchnow Go up again."

Teddy Bell took the Xiaoshi tablet from the small room to his brother, "I know that I have a bad stomach, but I overeat." He was always worried that his brother's stomach disease would break out again at some point during his busy work. But looking at Evan Bell's rare appetite today, neither he nor his mother hindered him too much.

Evan Bell continued to pretend to be pitiful, and Teddy Bell could only sigh helplessly. Seeing that his brother was no longer lecturing, Evan Yibel immediately showed a smug smile, "Okay, where's the script? Bring it over to me, I'll walk while watching it, digest it."

Teddy Bell pointed to the underside of the coffee table. Evan Bell lowered his head and saw two thick scripts. He took his script to the coffee table, picked up the thin planning book on top and read it first.

Evan-Bell flipped through the two books one after another, and it is no wonder Thomas-Lansing and the others hesitated, because from an objective standpoint, investing in these two books does require a lot of risk, and the box office prospects Not favored. If Evan-Bell was not reborn, it is estimated that he would reconsider these two scripts, not only cautious, but also responsible for every investment made by Eleven Studios.

But now, Evan-Bell can be sure at a glance that the two scripts in front of him are worth a shot. However, Evan Bell did not rush to tell Teddy Bell what he thought, but read it carefully. He wanted to study why these two scripts would be so popular in the future.
