Screenwriter Mystery

"My Father…"

"Well, my dad isn't quite used to this."

Las Vegas, hotel theater.

The audience sitting in twos and threes is watching the content of the pilot episode of the TV series shown on the screen.

They are tourists from all over the United States and even all over the world. In their spare time, they come to the theater to participate in the TV station's new drama research, and provide their own views for the TV station's new drama project this year.

"It's been 5 years, and he still can't fully accept it. Every time he wants to enter my room with Xiaoka, he will shout first, in case he bumps into me and Xiaoka kissing..."

"If only my mother had this habit, remember?"

"talk about it later."

When the episode shows same-sex couples complaining to the camera about their father.

Several audience members frowned, then turned the small turntable in their hands to the right, expressing their dislike of this part of the plot.

However, most of the audience still chose to turn left.

In recent years, the voices of LGBT and other minorities have become more and more loud, and they do not want to be called discriminators.

Sitting in the far corner of the theater, I learned the audience's reaction to the plot through the curve on the notebook. ABC's researchers marked the fluctuation of the curve.

Ding dong!

"OHGOD."

"OK, I'll go and dress up Lily. I want you to be honest with them."

"Ok."

"Be obedient, you can do it, let an athlete hit his chest..."

In the TV series, Mitchell is nervous about the upcoming family, who just recently adopted an eight-month-old baby girl from Vietnam named Lily. And Mitchell's adoption of the child has not yet been told to his family. Cameron knows that he has been running away. In order to let Mitchell get rid of the psychological shadow, face real life bravely and keep walking, Cameron took the initiative to invite his family to come at night. Be a guest and announce their adoption of a child.

"Hoo~"

"Hi!"

In the TV series, when Mitchell opens the door and hugs and greets his family.

Many viewers in the theater showed surprised expressions on their faces, because these families who appeared in Mitchell's house were the other two families that appeared in the previous plot. They originally thought that three unrelated families actually existed like this. wonderful connection.

The audience's surprised reaction was also faithfully presented on the ABC researcher's notebook. He looked at the straight upward curve on the screen, and the expression on his face fluctuated.

…

Mid-May.

After a long wait, Zhao Yuan finally got the follow-up news of "Modern Family" from Ron Mayer.

"It's basically confirmed."

Although, there are still a few days before ABC officially announces the order for a full season of "Modern Family".

However, Universal has already been informed by the TV station.

"The research data for the pilot broadcast of "Modern Family" in Las Vegas is ideal, and it only needs to cut out a few less popular plots to be able to premiere."

"it is finally over…"

When the crew of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" heard the call from Ron Mayer, Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, I felt the stone in my heart fall.

He is confident in the order result of "Modern Family", however, the lengthy production process of the whole show makes people feel anxious.

It's hard to believe that it took more than half a year from the time the script was handed over to Universal to the moment when ABC TV officially confirmed the order for the series. This complicated process is a good thing for viewers watching TV series, but for behind-the-scenes creators like Zhao Yuan, it is undoubtedly a long wait.

During this period of time, he moved from "Modern Family" to the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" crew. The continuous shooting of the two works even made him forget his identity other than a Hollywood celebrity screenwriter.

"Next week, ABC will announce this year's subscription series. The TV station has already sent an invitation to "Modern Family". As the screenwriter of this series, Ellen, you are also among the invited."

"Next week?"

Hearing Ron Mayer's words, Zhao Yuan was not too surprised.

The announcement ceremony of the TV station is a routine, which takes place every year.

They will invite all the crews participating in the campaign to fly to New York to select some of the episodes ordered by the station this year, as well as those episodes that are off the air.

It can be said that the whole ceremony was a thrilling roller coaster. The selected crew naturally reveled for a few days, while the suspended TV series had to leave the stage dimly, disbanding the crew to find new jobs, just like Zhao before. The original crossing is the situation.

Of course, TV stations hold such ceremonies not just to bring together several campaign crews to announce their lives and deaths, but the essential purpose is to publicize and show them to major advertisers around the world to see advertisements that sell TV series at the same time seats.

"I'll be there on time."

He gave the exact answer to Ron Mayer on the other end of the phone.

Zhao Yuan turned his head and glanced at Wen Ziren who was filming not far away.

As a veteran of horror films, Wen Ziren has a very good grasp of the details of horror in films. Often, after some tasting shots are selected from his perspective, UU reading www.uukanshu. com always presents an unexpected visual sense. During this period of time in the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", what Zhao Yuan learned the most was to control this point.

Although he bears the title of director of "Blair Witch", in fact, he is not even a newcomer in terms of movie lenses.

The success of the original witch did not depend on the lens of the movie, it was simply a miracle of propaganda.

Even so far, in most film critics, he still hangs the title of the worst director.

However, Zhao Yuan didn't take this seriously.

For him, Hollywood is just a means of ascending, no matter how fierce the critics are.

The benefits brought to him by the movie "Blair Witch" alone far exceed the works of excellent directors in their group.

Even after "Blair Witch", Zhao Yuan already had plans to put a few other movies of the same type on the screen.

Anyway, film critics scold once, and scold twice.

As long as they can make money, major Hollywood film production companies will simply ignore the so-called opinions of film critics.

However, for now, things about the new movie can be slowed down for a while.

After all, "Blair Witch" was released not long ago, and it is difficult for audiences to feel new to the same type of movies again. After "Blair Witch", the box office of 'pseudo-documentary' movies launched by several small and medium-sized film production companies followed suit. You can see one or two.

Right now, Zhao Yuan's main thing is to participate in the TV station's ceremony in New York next week.

By the way, the new script he had conceived and completed during this period of time was released.

waited so long.

It is also time to continue to evolve the new script.
