"The actor's interview went very smoothly, much smoother than expected." Chuck Lorre replied that the most important thing in Hollywood is actors, because there are only a few actors who can really stand at the top of the pyramid, like Evan - There are only a handful of actors who have been looted by countless people like Bell, so even though the "Big Bang Theory" project has failed twice before, there are still many actors who are willing to risk their lives for a chance.

To Chuck Lorre's surprise and no surprise, the third selection of actors was even more lively than the previous two. Even if he didn't want to admit it, the attraction of the Eleven Studio's signboard was obvious, even more than Warner Bros. is fine. So, the actor interview process was really smooth.

Evan Bell wanted to open his mouth again to ask who the actors were. Are all the actors Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki still in the lead roles? But looking back, now that the pilot episodes have been filmed, the change in history cannot be seen immediately, so I swallowed the question, "That's really good."

Chuck Lorre glanced at the smile on Evan Bell's face, and couldn't help but feel more certain.

Evan Bell's influence on Eleven Studio is indeed omnipresent, but his position is somewhat different from Steven Spielberg's position in DreamWorks. Evan Bell is more of a macro control, while There will be a corresponding person responsible for the engraving of the details. The most important thing is that Evan Bell’s personality has been integrated into the blood of the studio of Eleven Studio. It is almost all in this style. Only in the case of Eleven Studio's separation from Evan Bell, several films produced have achieved excellent results.

This is naturally good news for Chuck Lorre. Having such a boss who knows when to supervise and when to delegate power is definitely beneficial to Chuck Lorre.

While thinking, Sam Reid greeted him. The producer who was accidentally sent to negotiate the arrival of "pop idol" in the United States has now become the closest connection with Eleven Studios. Even though today's Big Bang Theory affair doesn't have much to do with Sam Reed, he came out to welcome it in person.

When Sam Reed saw Evan Bell, he was obviously surprised. No one expected Evan Bell to come to the scene today. "Evan, your arrival is really a surprise."

"Really?" Evan Bell smiled and hugged Sam Reid, "Then I hope you can give me a surprise today." This sentence is actually a hint that I hope CBS TV can do it today. Give "The Big Bang Theory" a contract.

When Sam Reid heard this, his smile couldn't help but become even brighter. In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer works that Evan Bell personally recommends. Otherwise, the attention of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in the past two days would not have been so enthusiastic. "Evan, although I'm not Brad, I can imagine his mood these two days."

Sam Reid is also a veteran, and naturally he will not answer Evan Bell's question directly. He uses Brad Gray, the head of Paramount, as a metaphor. The subtext is, if Evan Bell recommends the work As excellent as always, then CBS TV will definitely not refuse. But at the same time, there is no direct commitment on the surface. Evan Bell has no room for refutation.

Evan Bell did not intend to put any further pressure on him, and only asked after looking at Sam Reid and three other people with a smile and saying hello one by one. "Who will host the pilot today?"

"Nancy will be there in person." Sam Reid smiled lightly, but he couldn't help sighing in his heart. Is Nancy Trim a mistake today?

As the CEO of CBS TV, Nancy Trim will naturally not arrive at the site for the pilot broadcast of every TV series, but will make judgments after the feedback information is collected after the pilot broadcast. If necessary, Nancy Trim will wait for the senior management to watch the pilot episode together and make the final decision.

However, this time is a bit special. The cooperation between Charlie Lohr and CBS TV on "Two and a Half Heroes" has been very pleasant, and "The Big Bang Theory" has not passed the audit twice before. The third attack was under the name of Eleven Studios, so Nancy Trim decided to go to the scene in person to see the quality of the third pilot. The most important thing is that if the third trial results are good, then everything is easy to say; if it still fails, Nancy Trim still hopes to communicate with Chuck Lorre. Don't affect the good cooperative relationship between the two sides on "Two and a Half Heroes". Anyway, a pilot episode of a sitcom is only 20 minutes long, so it doesn't take up time.

With Nancy Trim hosting Evan Bell, Sam Reid couldn't have been better.

When arriving in the elevator, Evan Bell and Sam Reid walked forward while chatting, and before they had time to say a few words, Nancy Trim greeted them, apparently receiving a call from the receptionist on the first floor , made a special trip out. "Look who this is, it's really been a long time no see." Although Nancy Trim spoke politely, she herself acted in a resolute manner, and she walked like a tiger , the speech is also simply and neatly.

Evan Bell gave Nancy Trim a big hug, "Last time I came here, it seems so far away."

"That's natural, it's been four years." Nancy Trim's memory is absolutely infallible in this regard. Evan Bell was last at the Blackrock Building in 2003 for the pilot of NCIS. Time flies, and Nancy Trim's position has not changed much, but Evan Bell has grown into a character who is equal to her.

"Time flies, doesn't it? But I don't see any signs of this on your face. I don't know if my eyes have begun to degenerate." Evan Bell's calm praise made Nan Si-Trim showed a neat smile.

"You've changed a lot." Nancy Trim replied briefly. Four years ago, although Evan Bell was already a high-profile star, even though he had dealt with bigwigs such as Lee Kelleher and Steve Jobs, he was still a little bit in front of Nancy Trim. Nervous; but now, Evan Bell's entire demeanor is completely different. Changes are of course great.

Evan Bell raised his eyebrows and was noncommittal. If it was someone else, he would definitely make a few more jokes, such as "Are you making fun of me?" Words such as "are you making fun of me?" will definitely make everyone smile. . But in the face of people like Nancy Trim, there is no need to be polite, "Is everything ready? Today's protagonist is not me, it should be 'The Big Bang Theory', and Chuck, Bill." Evan Bell took a step to the side, pushing Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady forward.

Nancy Trim said freely to Chuck Lorre, "Chuck, we meet again." Then she led the group towards the screening room, "The title of this episode is very attractive. Li, 'The Big Bang Theory,' looks so punchy, who's the brainchild of this name?"

"Evan." Chuck Lorre said bluntly, "Of course it's Evan." Evan Bell stood by the side, facing Nancy Trim's gaze, smiled modestly, he actually Just borrowing the idea of ​​Chuck Lorre, "Evan also wrote a theme song of the same name for the series, which was sung by Linkin Park and the Magic Red band with him."

The theme song of the same name of "The Big Bang Theory" is not strictly Evan Bell's own original. His source of inspiration is the theme song of the same name sung by the Canadian rock band "Ladies in Nutty"... The melody of the song is brisk and catchy, and Evan Bell completed the creation of this song based on his own inspiration and ideas.

Compared with the creation of the melody, Evan Bell seems a little helpless in the creation of the lyrics. He is not a master of physics. This time Teddy Bell and Eden Hudson can help a lot. Busy, tossing for a long time to complete the lyrics. The lyrics are closely combined with the content of the TV series, and the styles of rock, folk and pop are softened, creating a sense of humor and lightness, and completing the creation of the whole song.

In the end, Evan Bell invited Linkin Park and the Magic Red Band to complete the recording of "The Big Bang Theory...", which became the theme song of the TV series.

Nancy Trim showed a smile, "This made my expectations for the series skyrocket. It seems that Evan has put a lot of effort into the 'Big Bang Theory' this time."

"Nancy, you say that, Chuck and Bill are going to be sad." Evan Bell's voice jumped out from the side, "Don't you see that even Kurt's smile is stiff?"

Nancy Trim didn't make any more politeness, and simply said, "My fault." Then she took the initiative to open the door of the conference room, "Then let's see the latest results of Chuck and Bill, I really very much looking forward to it.”

In fact, part of the reason why Nancy Trim attaches so much importance to "The Big Bang Theory" comes from the entire American market. When "Everyone Loves Raymond" and "Friends" ended, American sitcoms seemed to enter a new era. The bottleneck, with the exception of "Two and a Half Men" sitcoms are going downhill. If CBS TV can seize this opportunity and create an excellent sitcom, it will be of great help to CBS TV's show composition.

Obviously, the partner of Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady is a good choice, and now, plus an Eleven studio, it is naturally worth looking forward to. So, what about the third pilot, as long as the episodes are good enough, it is worth looking forward to again.
