The Best Actor in the Vase of Meiyu

Chapter 23 Character Fitting
The production of American drama series is based on seasons, which are often long-term operations. The longer the series is, the more successful it is. For example, "The Simpsons" has been produced for thirty-six seasons, so the entire production model is slightly different.

Generally speaking, a screenwriter is a team. A team of ten or twenty people is built around two core screenwriters. The team members may change at any time, and the screenwriters may even be different for each episode.

The same goes for directors, because TV dramas do not pursue audio-visual language like movies. All the charm comes from the script, and the director is responsible for presenting the content of the script in a regular manner, so directors are also changed frequently.

If it is a miniseries or a limited series, in order to maintain a unified style, the screenwriter and director team may be relatively fixed; but ordinary long-form dramas do not have such requirements, and the creative team has a huge turnover of personnel.

It is precisely because of this that the quality of the series may have obvious ups and downs in the story of a season, including watering down and sluggishness in the middle part, until the end of the season when it turns the tide and picks up strongly. This is normal.

"Friends" is naturally no exception.

As the end of the season approaches, the main writers and directors of this season have returned one after another. Not only the core screenwriter Marta Kauffman has returned in person; but David Klein has also returned to his familiar screenwriter. Position, personally control the production process.

However, Marta didn't know that the screenwriting team misunderstood David's meaning, which led to an error. Then David prepared to invite Bruce Willis to rescue him, but in the roundabout way, he finally decided to go with the flow and make the mistake. The only thing she knew was the result before her eyes - —

A young boy with no acting experience is about to serve as a guest.

As the core screenwriter who worked side by side with David to create "Friends" from scratch, Marta has the qualifications and the confidence to express her dissatisfaction.

Marta doesn't mind David using his power for personal gain, as such things are commonplace anyway; but when this happened near the end of the season, did David lose his mind and go crazy?

There was a fire in Marta's chest and she needed to let it out.

but.

She will enter the studio for filming tomorrow. If she doesn't want this week's broadcast to open up and affect the season finale plan, she'd better keep her mouth shut and work together.

Who wants to have trouble with money?

Therefore, despite her reluctance, Marta came to the company in person to communicate with the clothing and styling team to set an image for the vase——

If not funny, at least charming, like Brad Pitt.

By the way, let me vent my dissatisfaction again.

knock knock.

There was a knock at the door.

Debra-McQuire, the stylist on the set, was surprised and immediately gave Marta a wink, but Marta didn't care at all.

Marta didn't worry about others hearing those gossips. She dared to say them again even if David Klein was right in front of her.

Even so, Marta did not continue.

Deborah breathed a sigh of relief and shouted in the direction of the door, "Come in."

Yea.

The door panel was pushed open, and the sunlight and light in the corridor fell slightly from the crack of the door. In the Yingying halo, a tall and handsome figure walked in.

Marta glanced at it nonchalantly out of the corner of her eye, but after missing it, she couldn't help but look back and take another look.

"Good morning, I'm Anson Wood, here for a fitting."

Handsome and clear.

Marta's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly, she was very friendly to vision protection. Marta looked back at Deborah, and she could immediately catch the smile in Deborah's eyes, and she could understand the meaning without using words:

The two people exchanged a tacit look, and at least their looks were good enough, even beyond expectations. It seemed that such a guest was not that bad.

But Marta was not prepared to stay any longer, and she had not forgotten—

She was still angry, angry with David, angry with the young man in front of her.

No matter what, the shelves have to be put up.

Marta glanced at Anson again, maintaining a serious posture, but she didn't realize that the lines on her jaw, corners of her mouth, and corners of her eyes were slowly relaxing. There was not much left of the so-called severity.

"Okay, you guys try on the costumes first, then go back and read the script twice more."

Without saying a word or introducing herself, Marta walked out of the room.

Meanwhile, Deborah kept sizing Anson up.

Not a pure inspection, but a professional judgment, from the perspective of a stylist.

In Deborah's view, Marta's complaints are one thing, her professional attitude is another, and she is sincere about the plot design of the sixth season.

After all, in six years, from a bad situation that no one expected to develop to now becoming the number one drama series in the United States, Marta and "Friends" have gone through countless ups and downs side by side. Those true feelings of comradeship are real. Marta also hopes that the series can continue to develop.

Therefore, even if it is just a vase and a temporary guest guest, the writing team still designed a plot for this vase.

"Friends" tells the story of three men and three women, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey, who live in New York and live together as each other's best friends.

The story of the first season begins with Rachel, who ran away from the wedding, looking for her old classmate Monica. Monica's brother Ross has just divorced. His childhood crush is Rachel, her sister's classmate; Qiu settled down at Monica's house, and the story begins here.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed and the story has reached the sixth season, and a series of changes have taken place in the plot characters.

Rachel and Ross accidentally got married after getting drunk in the last season finale, but after sobering up, the two decided to divorce.

Monica and Chandler are officially dating, but they decide not to rush into marriage for the time being, but to move in together and give it a try.

Rachel and Phoebe originally shared an apartment, but there was an accidental fire, so Rachel returned to Monica's apartment and Phoebe lived with Joey; but later they discovered that the cause of the fire was Rachel's straight hair. As a result, Rachel and Phoebe swap apartments.

The plot has developed into its sixth season, but it still maintains its vitality and the ratings remain high. The dedication of the writing team and the sparks between the actors are the key.

There is no doubt that the ultimate suspense of season six is: when and how will Chandler, who has always been afraid of commitment and worried about being forced to marry, propose?
This also touches the hearts of countless viewers.

In addition, Ross and Rachel, who have been separated and reunited and constantly missed each other, where will their relationship go? Can they achieve consummation?
This is a focus that continues from the first season to the present.

So, as the sixth season was about to come to an end, the writing team designed a plot for the guests using the emotional relationship between Ross and Rachel.

Ross gets a job teaching paleontology at the university, but starts dating one of his students, whose brother then comes to visit.

Obviously, this brother expressed strong dissatisfaction with his sister dating a professor who was about the same age as their father; but he did not expect that this brother would start dating Rachel as soon as he turned around.

A subtle four-corner relationship was formed in this way.

It is this brother that Anson is about to play.
