The Best Director

Chapter 252 The best TV series? !

"Paul, I'm not sure about doing a second season of Prison Break."

The sky was full of sunset, the sun was shining at dusk, and in the garden where the fallen leaves of the sycamore trees were blowing with the wind, a white Labrador was sniffing around on the lawn. Jessica was sitting on a rattan sun lounger, lost in thought Looking at a bridal magazine "de" on the table, the corners of her mouth curled up from time to time, with a pretty smile of anticipation, and she looked at Wang Yang who was walking and chatting on the phone.

Hearing his words, Paul Jones, who was far away in New York, was startled. Are you sure about the production? What a joke! It's been less than two days since the hot broadcast started! He hurriedly asked: "What do you mean?" He only heard Wang Yang's sleepy chuckle: "After Michael Scofield and the others escaped from prison, the story seemed meaningless." Paul Jones said distressedly: "Oh no , you can’t! You can’t think like that, absolutely not.”

Who is the most important person behind the scenes of a TV series? A good movie is the director, and a good TV series is the main screenwriter. Now this person is often the main creator and the highest person in charge (such as Joss Whedon), and sometimes he will personally act as the director of several episodes. The chief screenwriter led the entire screenwriting team to complete the script. In addition to Magic Yang, there are 6 screenwriters in "Prison Break", each of whom has different tasks and cooperates with each other.

Someone is responsible for designing the plot details of the story; someone is responsible for designing the characters, including character background and dialogue; In order to be more professional and avoid mistakes, the team will also invite experts in relevant fields to serve as consultants and script doctors. In the end, the complete script written according to the chief screenwriter's ideas and intentions will be revised and polished by the chief screenwriter.

At the beginning, the script of "Prison Break" was an almost complete prototype. He saw Miracle Yang seriously requesting and encouraging the screenwriters: "We can't have any water! Any idea of ​​'almost', we want to occupy the audience's attention." Brain! Follow me to change their thinking structure!" Then he pointed out that a 42-minute episode is divided into 6-minute units, and each unit is separated by crisis resolution and crisis (suspense), and there must be one for the audience to switch between commercials Once you log in to the channel, you will never forget the exciting details of switching back.

Facts have proved that this team did it, and then the shooting of this perfect script began. During the shooting, Mi Yang not only performed the duties of the top producer, but also took care of the set remotely. All the main screenwriters are like this. The TV series are different from the movies. If the director of the episode wants to change a line of the script or change a detail, he has to call Ye Wen to the main screenwriter, and the screenwriter can only make changes with the approval of the screenwriter.

So no matter how many days "Prison Break" was filming, Magic Yang's cell phone would ring about once a day for this, to solve the directors' questions and decide the intention of each scene and each shot.

This talented chief screenwriter is the most important one! His extraordinary and profound analysis and grasp of the script and story, as well as his strong communication and agitation ability, are the key to the success of "Prison Break".

Now suddenly say no! ? Take the initiative to apply for a cut in half? hell! If Fantastic Yang insists on quitting the second season of "Prison Break", he has not signed a long-term contract, so bsp; Man, how much quality is there in Season 2? What about when you advertise? What will the audience think? If there isn't even a second season of Prison Break, what's the point of lobbying for a new sitcom?

But if this is the case, the relationship between everyone has deteriorated, but is Miracle Yang missing the family? Cbs and other TV stations took the opportunity to poach him, and if Miracle Yang secretly attacked and clarified that "Magic Yang quit by himself" by using "different creative ideas" as the reason for quitting, it would turn into a féi soap opera.

Of course, there is still a very high probability, bear with it, continue the production of the second season of "Prison Break" but maintain a good relationship with Miracle Yang, and be scolded by the audience with him; lobby him to start a new drama, provided that the contract has at least Three season terms.

It's just that no matter what, the big surprise of the first two days will turn into a big trouble, and he, the production manager, is in big trouble. Thinking of this, Paul-Jones broke out in a cold sweat suddenly, his breathing became a little urgent, and the tone of his urgent request was almost pleading: "Jan, you can't do this, "Prison Break" needs you! You should be joking with me Bar?"

"Yes, it's just a joke! But I hope the second season is called "Prison Break: Escape." Wang Yang laughed and walked towards Danny stepping on withered yellow leaves. In fact, he did have this consideration a few days ago. After the theme of "Prison Break" comes out of prison, the focus will inevitably change, so why is it still called prison break? How to keep its charm? But I immediately thought, what's the point if you give up when you encounter difficulties? How did it come to this day? The first season is over.

"Oh my god! What a fun wonder Jan!" Paul Jones was on a rollercoaster ride, between hell and heaven! It's heaven now. Maybe no one can fry an omelet without breaking the egg. The fifth season of "Law and Order: Special Victims", which aired yesterday Tuesday, only had 12.72 million viewers, a rating of 9/12. Last season dropped more than 10,000 viewers, and now it is counting on "Prison Break" to become the new trump card.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and felt some dissatisfaction in his stomach, and said with a smile: "Yang, you have joked a lot recently, I am a person who is not scared. I almost passed out just now, you know How much we value "Prison Break", it's so creepy!"

Wang Yang laughed, snapped his fingers at Danny, patted the big tuǐ and made a command gesture of "follow me", Danny glanced at it and continued to hunt for treasure without paying attention, he said to the phone: "Yes, I Know and thank you, rest assured Paul, I will try my best to make "Prison Break" season 2."

He has figured out what to do. Although the plot line and details of the first season of the two "Prison Break" are not the same; compared with the original version, the current version almost only retains the prisoner t-bag, because t-bag is the most convincing original version of "Prison Break" The powerful criminal role, Robert Knepper, who starred in two versions of t-bag, also performed very well. The roles of other prisoners have undergone new changes, which are more reasonable and convincing.

But the problem facing the second season is the same, the scene of the whole story is no longer a prison. The original version chose to play family cards, touching cards and water injection, trying to "reverse the case" for each prisoner. However, the lack of connection between the characters caused the plot to be scattered, and too much deliberate family affection wiped out the tension. While filming and broadcasting until the last third season, it ran back to a Panamanian prison.

One of the reasons why the first season has reduced the number of people involved in the escape is to prevent the plot of the second season from being distracted. Wang Yang understands that "tense suspense", "smart and cool" are the biggest charms of dramas like "Prison Break" , the largest core.

Just unite the characters, carefully design the escape itself, don't make the mistake of playing the family card and pouring water, and add more new talented characters to compete convincingly with Michael Schofield, whether it's like "Alexander" "Villain" policemen like "Ma Hong" still add new members outside the prison to the escape team...

Only by maintaining a breathless rhythm can the vitality of "Prison Break" be maintained. This is one of the creative ideas he wants to convey to the screenwriter team for the second season.

"Thank you for saying that, I'm relieved!" Paul Jones laughed in relief, and asked tentatively, "Then just said about creating a sitcom? Are you interested?"

"Paul, I need some time to think about it." Wang Yang didn't refuse immediately, otherwise it would seem too insincere, and he was really considering this invitation. After chatting for a few more words, the two ended the call. Wang Yang walked towards Jessica, but before he could take a few steps, the phone rang again. He muttered "Phone life!" and answered the call: "Hello, this is Jan."

Immediately, Rachel's anxious voice came out of the phone: "Jan, I can't help it! I have many, many questions about "Prison Break", but I just want you to answer me, toe!"

This question is too important to be suspenseful; if Michael Schofield's toes are cut off, he needs to be healed, and the gangsters may be punished; if they are not cut off, who will come out to stop them? What will happen? Different results will make the whole plot go differently! Rachel repeated quickly: "Toes! One chance! Toes!"

Uh! Wang Yang had a weird expression on his face. Has her addiction to drama gone? He laughed and said, "That's not okay, Rachel, I signed a non-disclosure agreement." Rachel's tone was very savage: "Please! I won't say it, it has been entangled in my brain for the past two days, it's so annoying! Hurry up and tell me I'm going to get a good night's sleep. e11, e11, e11! I'm addicted, I just can't stand this kind of drama, maybe that's part of the fun!"

"Haha!" After getting mad, Rachel laughed softly at herself, her voice softened, and she asked in a negotiating tone: "Just give me a hint, how about giving me a movie line?"

"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next one will be." Wang Yang blurted out a line from a movie, and Rachel suddenly let out a rough "woo" sound like a trapped beast. Wang Yang said with a smile: "Let's keep the suspense, it's running out. I don't even know if I want to do a second season." Over there Rachel was shocked: "What, you want to die? I will kill you." Wang Yang shrugged and said: "It's just a joke, but the plot really cannot be revealed, and there can be no exceptions. If there is a first time, there will be a second time. Let your toes go! Do you understand?"

Let the toes go? Rachel suddenly smiled and said, "Oh, i-see, i-see! Thank you, see-u!" Hearing her laughter and the beeping sound of the mobile phone, Wang Yang frowned blankly, she misunderstood What? The toes are still there! Maybe "let the toe thing go" can be understood in another way.
