The Best Director

Chapter 300 Hilarious Set

"Is Sheldon really not sick? I checked some information. He has many symptoms of Asperger's syndrome, has deficits in social skills, and has a more general interest in certain special things. Sheldon is Asperger's?"

Universal Studios Los Angeles, because Vivendi Group, the parent company of Universal Pictures, and NB Group have negotiated and confirmed that Vivendi Universal and NB will soon merge into a media giant "NB Universal", so the set of "The Big Bang Theory" was built in The studio of Universal Studios, including all indoor scenes such as apartments, comic shops, i, etc., as well as departmental offices such as costume dressing room and screenwriter's room in the backstage.

"No, I'm sure he didn't." At this moment, the crew was making the final preparations before today's start, and Graham Linehan and Bill Prady, who were in charge of the filming on the set, directed the preparations of the crew; the script Consultant and scientist David Salzburg sat on the director's chair with his name written on it in front of the set. In front of him was the living room of the apartment shared by Sheldon and Leonard. living room.

This is a fixed main set, and there are mobile sets such as Sheldon's bedroom, Leonard's bedroom, and comic shop on the left and right sides, which are moved to shoot according to the needs of each episode.

"It's really interesting." David Salzburg smiled and looked up to see a lot of lighting equipment and equipment, surrounded by several cameras that will come in handy soon, and there are 6 rows and 4 rows of auditoriums not far behind. After the audience entered the venue, nearly 200 audience members laughed out loud during the filming. This feeling is completely different from the scientific research room, which is really interesting. He wrote the physical formulas on the whiteboards in the living room.

As the first scene of the first episode, Wang Yang, the founder and chief screenwriter rather than the executive producer, was not absent. He needs to lay a foundation for "The Big Bang Theory" to determine a style, tell the protagonists how to act, and tell Graham -How Linehan and Bill Prady filmed and produced it. Wang Yang took the script of the first episode and walked to the front set, answering Jim Parsons' questions while walking.

Tom Parsons was wearing a set of green Green Lantern long-sleeved shirt and plaid pants, and he was full of gentle and sluggish geek temperament. When he heard Wang Yang's answer, he was still puzzled: "But why did he do that? Is there any reason?"

"Karey Cuoco, come here!" Wang Yang yelled, and Kaley Cuoco, who was sitting on the chair beside Han, waved. Many problems need to be solved, especially the protagonists' understanding of the characters. For example... Wang Yang couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw this Sheldon, probably because he was shocked by the joy. He smiled and said: "Why do you have to Do you think there is such a person because of mental problems?"

Jim Parsons was slightly taken aback. In fact, he had discussed this issue many times with Graham Linehan, Bill Prady and others. They all said, "Sheldon has no mental illness,

His mother took him for a checkup. "Well, even if it's not, he thinks God is fair, Sheldon is so smart, but he doesn't know how to communicate with people, but he always wants to figure out the reason.

Looking at the smiling face of this amazing director, Parsons couldn't help feeling nervous, not wanting to lose face in front of the handsome guy, and thought: "Uh...maybe in that case, this character will be more real?"

"I see, then you must think that people, Green Lantern, and Hulk are not real." Wang Yang's words seemed to be a bit wrong, and he asked, "Is that right?" Parsons nodded without knowing why: "Yes, they are comics and movies." Kalei Cuoco, with flowing golden hair, came over, waited for instructions from ye, and heard Wang Yang say: "Movies, TV, and dramas don't need so many constraints. As an actor, what you have to do is not to find faults, but to put in."

Wang Yang glanced at Kalei Cuoco, saying that this was also for her. Looking at the two, he raised the script in his hand: "Why do you think they are fake? They are real, they exist in their world , not ours, have you seen "Back to the Future"? Do you know the theory of parallel universes? Similarly, Sheldon exists in his world, you look at the script, you don't doubt whether this is true or not, you don't doubt whether this Reasonably, you're going to find your way to that world, and you're going to be Sheldon."

In the final analysis, this is still a question of entering the play, no matter the movie or TV series, if an actor always doubts his role, how can he enter the play? Of course, Jim Parsons has great enthusiasm and understanding for Sheldon, but this will affect his shaping of Sheldon. It turned out that in the first season of the O7 version of "The Big Bang Theory", the entire crew had all kinds of doubts, which caused the story style and characters to swing from side to side; such mistakes will not recur.

"You can find reasons for him, but you must believe that Sheldon is real. If you don't have a mental illness, you don't have a mental illness. You can't have the mentality of 'Okay, whatever'." Wang Yang took a picture of Parsons who was thinking With a shoulder, an excellent actor can always be convinced, find the shining point of the character and act vividly. He continued: "Your mentality will affect your performance. Only when you invest in it will you discover other things about Sheldon." , and then come and ask me 'How about this little move by Sheldon?', 'I don't think Sheldon can say that line.'”

After saying a series of words in one breath, Wang Yang paused, and said in a serious tone: "Are you ready?" Jim Parsons took a deep breath secretly, nodded and said: "Yes, I think I am ready .”

Not only Jim Parsons, but also Kaley Cuoco suddenly felt some pressure. This 24-year-old young director has too much aura, and he is not comparable to the director of "Eight Rules" and "Girl's Big Boss"... I want to come Yes, he is miraculous Yang! It's unbelievable that she was crazy about "High School Musical" when she was 13 years old, and now she is 18 years old, and she is about to start filming "The Big Bang Theory" directed by bby; at the age of 18, Fantastic Yang has already filmed "Ghost Story".

"Kare, I watched some of your rehearsals just now." Wang Yang's voice interrupted Kalei Cuoco's thoughts, and she listened attentively: "Yes, yes." Wang Yang grinned and said: "Your smile, do you see me like this? Sunshine!" Kalei Cuoco groaned, not understanding the self-deprecating joke; Wang Yang continued to laugh and said: "Pure sunshine as much as possible! I don't want fashion and maturity Yes, Penny has had many boyfriends, but she's a goofy, country girl who just came to the big city, a little girl, get it? First impressions count."  …

"This is the recording site of "The Big Bang Theory", welcome everyone!"

As the start-up time got closer and closer, under the leadership of the white host, nearly 200 live audience members came to the studio in a mighty manner, and then sat down in the auditorium one after another. They all went through the security check to prevent Bring in dangerous items, as well as cameras, dv machines and other shooting equipment. As soon as everyone sat down, the host began to create a happy atmosphere, making sure everyone laughed louder when they participated in the recording later.

"Everyone knows that this is Miracle Young's first sitcom, and everyone is guessing how funny it is?" The host looked at the interested audience and said passionately: "You will know soon, it It's so, so interesting! The first episode will be recorded today, it's not a trial episode! And Fantastic Young will also make a guest appearance in another episode! You can see the scene where the best Oscar director is ng!"

Everyone suddenly cheered in surprise. If the microphone settings above them had been turned on, these voices would have been recorded. Among the audience of nearly 200 people, it can be said that no one came for the leading actors, except for a few fans of "Eight Rules", they all signed up, grabbed tickets, and sat here for the magic Yang, Ellie Sha is such a movie fan. She has been looking forward to "Firefly" and "The Big Bang Theory" for too long. She is really lucky to be able to watch the recording of the first episode of "BB"!

"Now let's invite our leading actors and creators to come out, they are: Johnny Galecki, Leonard! Jim Parsons, Sheldon! Kaley Cuoco, Penny!..." The host Shouting names one by one, I saw that in the main set in front, the five leading actors whose names had been read ran in from the backstage with a smile and waved to say hello. Guest, or eccentric, or old-fashioned man, the host continued to shout: "Founder, Producer, Writer: Graham Linehan, Bill Prady... and—"

He dragged his voice, and the auditorium was already boiling. Almost everyone in seat 64 stood up spontaneously. It was as lively as a concert. The host's face was almost red, and he suddenly shouted: "Jan -King!—Magic Jan!"

"Yang!", "Yang, Yang!" A burst of shouts and screams broke out suddenly, and the audience, mostly young people, booed and shouted heartily. , reached ** all at once. Amidst the shouts of the crowd, Wang Yang in a windbreaker and jeans came out from the backstage, ran to the front of the set without waving quickly, turned around unexpectedly, put his hands in his pants, and slid into the night in a decent manner.

"Hahaha!", "Wow!——" Seeing his coquettish appearance, bursts of laughter rang through the entire studio, and the audience all laughed, or screamed in amazement, the decibel was much louder than the host just now The sum is even higher; the leading actors in front of the set turned their heads and couldn't help laughing. Kaley Cuoco was even more dumbfounded. Magic Young is scary when he is serious, and funnier than anyone else when he is funny and humorous. When did you see such an "alternative" director on the set? Not to mention movie dramas, sitcoms are also hard to find.

Graham Linehan, Bill Prady, David Salzburg and other behind-the-scenes creative teams were also stunned for a moment, and finally understood what the young director said, "We want to make this set full of happiness, and let ourselves always be happy." In a funny rhythm, understand!" What does it mean.

"Cool! This is the main creator of comedy!" Like many people around, Alyssa couldn't help screaming, Miracle Yang's moonwalk is so handsome! She clapped her hands high and shouted at the top of her voice, "Hey, Fantastic Jan! I want your autograph!"

He seemed to have heard her cry in the commotion. Wang Yang, who came to the set by spacewalk, raised his hand to express his gratitude. He didn't go to the camera with Graham and the others to start shooting. He suddenly rushed towards the auditorium. For a moment, he shouted even more frantically: "Ah, Yang!!", "Yang——" Wang Yang took the microphone from a staff member, looked at the rows of audience, and waved: "Hi, how are you all?" ?Welcome here!"

The whistling and whistling gradually stopped, and the audience fell silent with smiles on their faces. Wang Yang walked in the aisle and smiled at them: "Guys, remember to laugh louder later! This is not a request, you will Yes! I mean don’t get tired of laughing.” The audience applauded thunderously. They didn’t have the slightest worry that "bb" would not be funny. Wang Yang continued to laugh and said, "Everyone get out of here and keep our filming content a secret, okay?" ? But please tell your family, friends, people on the Internet: 'It's so hilarious! I won't tell you why!' Well, let them envy!"

In fact, Huo Huo and nb are not afraid of spoilers on the Internet. This is not a movie, and sitcoms have always been like this. Leaking some plots and lines will not affect the ratings; on the contrary, the wider the spread, the more people know about it. Spoiler content creates expectations, and the ratings will be higher. "The Big Bang Theory" will not start airing until the new season in September. Now it is only filming three episodes a month, and the first 12 episodes are filmed; the last 12 episodes are filmed while broadcasting. It was decided that sitcoms need to be filmed while broadcasting.

"I will!", "!" The audience laughed and shouted in agreement, Wang Yang said thank you: "Then see you later!" He waved his fist and walked towards the camera. Under the host's repeated requests, the audience sat down again and kept quiet. The host looked at the filming schedule and introduced: "The scene that will be filmed soon is that Leonard and Sheldon have had a very unfortunate time. One day, when they came home, they saw a new neighbor had moved in, and she was Penny."

The first scene of the startup was shot on the set of the elevator aisle. The audience saw Wang Yang and Graham standing next to a camera talking about something, and several photographers were ready; and Kaley Cuoco Sitting in the living room of Penny's house, which was newly arranged and full of boxes of things, watching the script, Wang Yang led a few people into the elevator aisle set, and gave Jim Parsons and Johnny wearing glasses Galecki demonstrates something.

"Phew!" Seeing the final preparations, Paul Jones, the production manager of nb Entertainment who came to watch, was very nervous, and it was finally time to start the machine! Just because of "Amazing Young", they desperately ordered "The Big Bang Theory" for a full season at a high price. If it wasn't funny, they would have to give back the credit they got for "Prison Break". He prayed silently: "Magic Yang, don't mess it up!"

Everything entered the countdown, Wang Yang and others returned to the back of the three cameras, Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki, who were carrying backpacks across their backs, walked behind the stairs of the set, and the on-site reporter shouted "First After the first time in the game", the audience heard that the director of this episode, Wang Yang, shouted: "In!"

"Do you want to hear interesting things about the stairs?" With the cameras, microphones and other equipment starting to work, a lifeless Leonard and a calm Sheldon walked out of the stairs, talking while going upstairs, Leonard did not Uninterested and authentic: But Dun seems to have heard ye, and immediately said with great interest: "If there is even a small gap of two millimeters in the height of a step, most people will be tripped." Leonard continued to be uninterested: "I do not care."

The audience was looking at the scene, or at the large TV screen connected to the camera image data and hanging in front of it; Wang Yang, who was looking at the camera screen, was very satisfied. Although he had the credit for many rehearsals, the two now The demeanor and movements of the performance are already very close to the peak of the o7 version, especially the erratic Shelton in the early stage is "Sheldon" when he comes on stage. Just about this scientifically proven staircase joke, Wang Yang wondered why Jessica would trip over stairs without a small gap? He has measured the stairs at home, and there is no gap.

"Two millimeters... that's not possible, is it?" The dejected Leonard suddenly wondered, and Sheldon became more interested, and continued to speak in a rhythmic way, teaching authentically: "No, it's true, I was 12 years old. A series of experiments were done. My dad also broke his collarbone."

"Hahahaha!" Under the instructions of the host, and without his instructions, bursts of laughter erupted in the auditorium, and the audience who had already stored up their energy laughed heartily, which doubled the effect of the joke. Because the scene layout needs to be updated, this shot is over, Wang Yang smiled and shouted: "U! Very good!" Immediately, the crew and the audience all applauded, celebrating the completion of the first shot of "The Big Bang Theory".

Soon there was another "in!", and then another burst of laughter, louder and louder: "Hahahaha!!" Alyssa laughed until her facial muscles were tired. The jokes about scientific theories that she didn’t understand were full of freshness, which made her feel excited: “It’s so interesting, so interesting! So that’s what Miracle Yang said about science! It’s so cool, this drama must be It will be a big bang..." Just as he was thinking, a joke suddenly came out again.

"Hahaha!!" Listening to these laughter, Paul Jones couldn't help laughing at the focused Miracle Yang not far away, and clenched his hands vigorously: "ye, ye!" He has visited too many The filming of the sitcom is over, and it is clear what kind of laughter is sincere and what is coping; moreover, this is just a verification, and the script of Miracle Yang and "The Big Bang Theory" is the key to reassuring. But the reaction of the audience... ratings!

Will "The Big Bang Theory" take over from "Friends"? Paul Jones laughed with the audience again: "Hahahaha!"
