Chapter 260: The Birth of the Big Bang

Chapter 260 The Birth of the Big Bang
Wang Yang invited two of the founding members of "The Big Bang Theory". One is Graham Reinham. He was born in Dublin, Ireland on May 22, 1968. He is a well-known TV screenwriter and director in the British television industry. The sitcom "Father Ted", which he created and wrote, won the baftas award (British Academy Television Award) for the best comedy (program or series) in 1996 and 1999, respectively, and was nominated in 1997.
"Father Ted" also won the 1996 "British Screenwriters Union" "TV-Situational Comedy" award; in addition, the first season of his "Black Bookstore" also won the baftas 1 year sitcom award.
For TV viewers in North America, most people know that the producer of "Brotherhood" is Steven Spielberg, and that there is Wang Yang in "Prison Break", which is naturally due to the effect of publicity; also There will be dramas mí, attention to subtitles, viewers who watch entertainment news, TV magazines, etc. The main creators of "Friends" are David Cran and Marta Kaufman. The producers of "" and ": Miami" have Gold producer Jerry Bruckheimer ...
But to ask Graham Reinham, a powerful character in the British drama circle, everyone has almost no clue ,?
Earlier, Wang Yang's invitation received Graham's confusion. British and American dramas are like two worlds. The American drama pays attention to "you learned this through this ..." It pays to ridicule each other, and there will be audiences at the shooting site, recording their laughter, reaching more than one episode in one season; six episodes of one season in the British drama, focusing on scenes and role conflicts to form laugh fruit The degree of dramatic exaggeration can be completely separated from reality, and the plot is often used to spoof a certain aspect of reality.
If you go to the United States, you must create according to the American drama style. Graham has no longing for Hollywood and industrial assembly lines; there is no objection, there are higher treatment, more job opportunities and better future prospects. Especially the person who invited him now is Wang Yang, Miracle Yang.
If someone else said he might have refused, but on the phone, he questioned: "I'm not sure I can adapt to American sitcoms, what do you think?"
"You are a person with a lot of detail and imagination. The use of scenes and props has a wonderful humor. I need them." Wang Yang answered him this way, which is exactly the idea in his heart. The cultural difference between British and American dramas Not so big, according to the information in my mind, the "Office" that debuted in 1 year will also be intentionally adapted to the "It Madman" American drama in o5.
Not to mention the "Big Bang" made from scratch, Wang Yang told Graham: "Because this series of characters is more exaggerated than other dramas, but they can exist." Graham Mu understands this meaning, which is also a characteristic of American dramas. Even if it is absurd, it will not abandon reality, at most it is a group of weirdos.
Wang Yang also said: "The focus of the story is not irony or education, but characterization. We arrange some events for them. Their faces are faced with these situations and they should behave as they please, naturally funny." Of course, this is also the reason why American sitcoms are closer to life, and at the same time they are easily modeled. There are too few unexpected places.
"Your main work in the team is not the design of the characters and the main bridge of the story, but the design of the details of the story. It adds some surprises to the scene shots and props without the sound of lines, but you know that all the roads lead An end point. "
Wang Yang attaches great importance to these. Compared to the usual mutual loss lines, "moving" is more prone to laugh and impress. Small scientific details such as Leonard rotating olives in a glass, explaining to Pennie what centripetal force is , Shelton and Leonard pushed a big box up the stairs, the two argued about what angle of incline can be pushed up; the use of props also reached the peak in the third season of the peak, the green light of the kite and Green Lantern , The Lord of the Rings ...
No matter the props on science, comics and other geeks, there will be a lot of them in this series. He hopes that the person in charge of this team is Graham Reinham, because this kind of detail is exactly the British drama. The advantage is good, "Black Bookstore", "It Madman" have a lot of memorable arrangements.
"What I value is your ability to handle details, and I know that you are an active user of a blog. You have a fairly good understanding of it and computers. This is one of the key points of our series, of course, and science." Wang Yang That being said, everyone knows that everyone who joins the team must make full preparations and research on the materials, especially the Irish need to work hard to understand these "specialties" in the United States.
Graham suggested that he should consider it carefully before replying. If he went to Los Angeles and was able to integrate into the team, it was another world. He might follow the "Big Bang" for five or ten years. Know where to go.
After more than a week, Graham, who was supported by his family and now has no job, agreed to come to Los Angeles to change the environment and make a new attempt.
The invitation of another creator is much simpler. He is exactly one of the two original creators of the "Big Bang", Bill Prady, and the second original creator, Chuck Lorry, is now "two heroes." The editor-in-chief of Half "is naturally not in the invited list.
And Bill Prady, like Graham, is idle without work. He was born on June 7th, and is a well-known sitcom writer and TV producer in Hollywood. His "Wife and Wife Not Right", which was written by him and ended in five seasons last year, was in 1998. "Favorite TV Comedy Series" that won the People's Choice Award.
He was not surprised by the invitation of Miracle Yang. He was more excited and agreed in a single breath.
Prady is mainly responsible for the design of the plots and lines of the plot; Wang Yang controls everything, leading the role, plot, lines ... and other episodes; plus Graham Reinham and script consultant David Sa Erzbauer, the determined "Big Bang" creative team is very strong.
"Guys, remember to move everything! The character must be cute, you know it ’s not a beauty, it ’s a baby, it ’s puppy-g! The kind of feeling that makes you feel the urge to pinch him, not the butt, give them some cute Things, especially this 'Sheldon-Cooper'. "
In the bright office, 35-year-old Graham, 36-year-old David Salzburg and 43-year-old Bill Prady sat at the steel-wood round table. They had all signed confidentiality contracts and preliminary contracts. Although, with Wang Yang's words from time to time smiling, but all listened very carefully.
The round table is full of paper, and the English and pictures on the paper are some of the episode settings and selected bridges that have been made. These character settings and style settings are all mature products that have been explored by the original "Big Bang" and "It Madman" teams, and there is no need to go the wrong way now. But there is something called "texture" and "three-dimensional sense". Even if there are pictures and texts, and there are stories and lines to refine the characters, Wang Yang still has to explain how "cute" is cute. What an abomination is.
The sound of "Dada Da" sounded, and the letters on the whiteboard erected in front of the round table were increasing. Wang Yang took the whiteboard pen and wrote next to "Sheldon Cooper": "Lovely."
Turned around and looked at three middle-aged men again, all three were easy to get along with. David Salzburg was an indisputable scholar, he would not have any objections, but only provided team science and physics professors In terms of knowledge requirements; Graham Reinhan is in the running-in period, the main task is a small idea; so the main explorers are Bill Prady and Wang Yang.
It is worth mentioning that Prady likes Chinese food very much, and also has a certain interest in Chinese culture. Probably this is the reason for the pile of Chinese elements in the original "Big Bang", but apparently neither cbs nor he has the intention of adding Chinese characters. Only let two "Sichuan boys" show their faces. Therefore, Bill Prady has his own ideas about the Chinese elements and Chinese characters set by Wang Yang.
"This Shelton has no neuropathy and no autism. Anyway, he is 100% healthy and normal, which is normal for him!"
Listening to Wang Yang's words, Graham Reinhan nodded easily. The character setting is very strange, but what does it matter? Shelton is such a person. Bill Prady was a little puzzled and didn't quite understand this shaped character after "future self-exploration". He grabbed his pencil and looked at Salzburg. He asked curiously: "Sorry, David, there is really in the scientific community Is this kind of nerd? "
"Yes, I think so." Salzburg thought and nodded, and Wang Yang smiled over there: "Our professor is not." Salzburg looked at the familiar whiteboard and filled it with episode analysis instead of Formula, the freshness in his heart surged again, he smiled and said: "The word nerd is derogatory, but I think it is perhaps the most appropriate word to describe those people who are passionate about science and animation."
Looking at Pradi, he continued: "These are a bit exaggerated, but Shelton and Leonard have their personal preferences, habits, and behaviors. Many people in real life are like this. I studied graduate school. At that time, I encountered such a guy. "Pradi nodded suddenly.
"In any case! When facing Shelton, he will not see any confusion; when facing Penny, his attitude is to treat her as ..." Wang Yang thought for a moment, then turned around Draw a line between Sheldon and Penny on the whiteboard and write: "A orangutan who has not evolved completely, will you be tempted by an orangutan? He does not like appearance, a woman in his eyes Whether beautiful is beautiful or not depends on IQ! The IQ value is his chest, and the academic trophy is his ass. "
Everyone chuckled happily, and Wang Yang smiled with a shrug. He did n’t know how many trial episodes of the original "Big Bang" had been "shot", anyway, there were two in his mind: the first one Shelton-Cooper is set to be lewd and lewd, and has had a relationship with Leonard's girlfriend. Penny is also a dark and scheming role, without Howard and Raj; the "donate sperm" bridge at the beginning Here, the two finally took the money and left.
The second is closer to the official first episode, the two also completed the donation of sperm, but then came back again, this version of the scientist is still not so stupid, still eating a lot of "human fireworks"; and then broadcast later In the first episode of the first season (pilot broadcast), the positioning of the characters and stories is still unclear. Sheldon still has many normal men's performances. If it is Sheldon in the third season, he will definitely not donate sperm. He How can you donate sperm even without an erection? He will not take the initiative to talk to Penny and show that shy expression.
It stands to reason that the world of a nerd was broken into by sunshine girls, and it should become more and more human, and more and more "man"; as a result, Shelton was revised to be more and more stupid, and of course, more lovely.
At the beginning, the characters are all the ultimate version. Naturally, the beginning will no longer be the sperm donation section. The two physics doctors have to play in other ways, and everything has matured and changed.
The original Shelton Cooper was played by Jim Parsons. He was born in Houston in March 1973. He has a bachelor's degree in theater and dance from the University of Houston, a master's degree in theater from the University of San Diego, and a lot of theater performance experience. , Is a typical academic actor. Parsons, who is now years old, has not had any experience in film performances. On TV, he only played a dragon set in "ed", which can be said to be blank.
Wang Yang is going to continue looking for him to play Shelton. Parsons is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. He thinks that there will be no problem in the film appointment. The actors of Howard, Raj, and Leonard are now in idle state. It's just that Penny is in trouble.
Relative to the academic Parsons, Leonard's actor Johnny Galecki is a child star, and is famous. He was born in 1975. At the age of 12, he appeared on the 6 screen with the TV movie "Order of Murder". At the age of 17, he joined the sitcom "Rosanne" and appeared in 92 episodes of five seasons. There are also "Mr. Bean's Disaster" and "I know you" on the screen. "What did you do last summer", "Vanilla Sky" and other performances, won four nominations and won the young artist award.
The future is bright, and will become the main star of Hollywood's new generation. If his height is more than -m, the dazzling child star will fall because of the height of only m.
"Ok, let's talk about Penny first! This is a typical big-headed girl with no brains, and my love life is a mess!" Wang Yang circled a big 1uan circle on the whiteboard. Under the watch of the three, he wrote and said: "But she is sunny, friendly, and sometimes takes some small advantage, but she is a principled person. I need her to quickly enter the life and circle of geniuses and become good friends with each other. She has no sense of self-protection. It ’s the xìng grid, and the second is that she ’s not afraid of this group of nerds, if she fights, she thinks they can kick them to death with a few feet, right?

"Don't worry if there is no story to tell, our goal is 12 episodes in the first half of the season, this group of people is already a carefree and very close good friend."
There was a red 12 on the white board. Wang Yang saw all three nodded, and then analyzed and explained it. He wants Bill Prady to keep up with the rhythm of the mature version, instead of staying at the stage of "scientists are really so dumb?" And "Sheldon will be horny?", Only Bill Prady understands these matures Only with a stable mindset can he be released, and the work of the studio can be given to Bill, and "Big Bang" can only start recording.
"Next, let's talk about supporting roles." When the whiteboard was written densely, Wang Yang changed a new one next to him, walked to the round table and took a sip of water, and continued to preach: "Tell me about this Chinese professor of mathematics ..."
He has decided to tentatively assume the role of Chinese as a supporting role, colleagues of Shelton and others. This is a very necessary role, not only because he wants a popular Chinese character to appear on the screen, but he also needs to use this to make fun of himself, otherwise sometimes he makes some light jokes about whites, Jews, and Indians, although Everyone knows that this is a sitcom, but they do n’t joke all day long and become malicious without being malicious.
It's still a name to blame, and now everyone connects "Big Bang" and Magic Young, he is not the kind of unknown producer. Of course, people are not so sensitive and can't make jokes, otherwise the crew of "South Park" would have been torn apart by 800 people.
What is Penny's trouble? After a busy day of screenwriter meetings in the morning and editing in the afternoon, the sky in Los Angeles is already dark night. In the bright study room, Wang Yang looked at the photo of Penny's player Carre-Zuo Ke on the computer screen, frowned, and It ’s not that 18-year-old Carreco-Coco ’s appearance is not in line with her temperament, or her acting skills are not good ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but she is now starring in the second season of a set of sitcom "Eight Rules for Dating My Daughter".
According to the information in my mind, the third season of the series ended with a dismal performance. If it is not cut by the waist during the winter break this year, then it is impossible to invite Carre Tsoko with a contract to participate in a sitcom audition.
"Wait until the winter break." Wang Yang whispered and shut down the webpage. If Carreco-Coco had no schedule, he could only invite others to audition for Penny. In addition to the continuing screenwriter meetings and telephone calls, the pre-preparation for "The Big Bang Theory" is all this. The formal crew formation and actor selection work will not be carried out until the winter break. These tasks are done by the executive producer. Of course he also Need to look after.
"Huh." Wang Yang stroked his forehead and felt his shoulders seemed to be lighter. He knocked on the keyboard a few times to open the calendar and looked at it. He suddenly glared and shouted, "Oh my god!" It was still so heavy.
