Today's third update, please push the stubble, please count and read!

In this movement of screenwriters to go on strike, almost all TV dramas have fallen into a state of suspension, so in general, there should be no dramas that want to profit from the strike. But there's a long list of episodes that minimize damage.

Compared with "Prison Break", "Twenty-Four Hours", "Lost", "Heroes" and other dramas that were shattered by shock, popular dramas such as "Desperate Housewives", "Criminal Minds" and "Ugly Betty" Although the episodes have also been affected more or less, either off the air, or in the form of replays to get through the storm, but overall, the impact is still very slight.

The dramas under Eleven Studios, aside from the reality shows "American Idol" and "Dancing Forest Hegemony." After the "Mad Men" broadcast on cable TV, the impact is close to zero. In addition, "Navy Crime" Four episodes including "Investigative Office", "Grey's Anatomy", "Doctor House", and "The Big Bang Theory", all of which have entered the off-air period to support the screenwriter, and the actors have also joined the wandering team from the action. The support was expressed on the above, which also led to different degrees of damage to the drama, but in general, because Evan Bell made the choice at the first time, the negative effects were all within the controllable range.

After entering the fifth season, the "Naval Criminal Investigative Service", which has become more and more courageous, has surpassed "crime scene investigation." It has become the number one detective drama in the United States, and its dominance is unshakable. Due to the relatively sufficient backup script, "NCIS" has been broadcast until November 28, and then entered the off-air period. However, due to the rapid development of the negotiation process of the screenwriter's dismissal, the broadcast resumed on January 16, 2008, which can be said to be the least affected batch of episodes. One was suspended for only a month and a half.

"Grey's Anatomy", which was hit hard in the last season, was again severely affected by the screenwriter's strike after a year's lapse. Before the strike, the filming of three episodes was completed. Month and January aired one episode each, but they were still unable to resist the spree of strikes, and they did not re-broadcast until April 25th. Although the entire suspension period is very long, the actors of "Grey's Anatomy" have been praised unanimously for their positive performance during the screenwriter's strike, which has instead minimized the negative impact of the show.

The fourth season of "Doctor House" was broadcast, and the basic trajectory was the same as that of "NCIS". It entered a suspension period on November 28, and was re-broadcasted at the end of January, but the writer's dismissal brought about The influence makes this series only have 16 episodes this season, which is a lot shorter than the usual 22 regular episodes, which is also a big influence.

But the point is that after these three dramas experienced the strike, the ratings and the number of viewers have always remained stable. In the violent impact of the strike wave, they survived tenaciously, and they all got the continuation of their respective TV stations. about! This is definitely a very gratifying news, and it is really lucky compared to dramas such as "Prison Break" and "Heroes" that have fallen into confusion.

For Eleven Studios, the most affected drama is "The Big Bang Theory", which was just released on September 24 this year.

As a new material released by Eleven Studio after a year, "The Big Bang Theory" has attracted countless attention at the beginning, but the setting of four geek scientists and a beauty did not immediately It burst out with amazing energy, and the ratings were not bad, but it can only give a "good" result, and there is still a distance from "excellent". Soon, "The Big Bang Theory" was hit by the writers' strike, and it was discontinued on November 13th.

Although "The Big Bang Theory" is a sitcom, the writing of the script "seems" to be easier than the actual drama, after all, an episode is only twenty minutes, but it is not the case, the difficulty of writing the script is the same, and "The Big Bang Theory" involves To more professional vocabulary, but the difficulty will be higher. In addition, "The Big Bang Theory" is a new TV series, and the first season is still uncertain, so the reserve of scripts is naturally relatively small.

As a result, "The Big Bang Theory" fell into a four-month suspension period, and it was not broadcast again until mid-March 2008. This is definitely a fatal blow for a show that is currently airing its first season.

From the statistics of episode losses, it can be seen that the episodes of the first and second seasons were the most severely affected. On the one hand, the audience's foundation was unstable, and on the other hand, the screenwriter's grasp of the focus of the episode was unstable; Relatively speaking, long-lived episodes will be affected much less.

However, the return of "The Big Bang Theory" after the suspension has made CBS TV happy. Before the suspension, the audience of 8 million people showed a slow increase trend. When the first season ended, it had already climbed. At 9.5 million, this speed is really gratifying. This has also stabilized the average viewership of the first season of "The Big Bang Theory" at 8.7 million.

More importantly, the good reputation of film critics and audiences has given CBS TV station greater confidence and heart in "Life Husband Explosion".

The development track of "The Big Bang Theory" is actually somewhat similar to the "Naval Criminal Investigative Service" under Eleven Studios. The results in the first season can be said to be above the standard line, but there is no "Grey's Anatomy", "Prison Break". "Such astonishing explosive power, but the word of mouth has been unanimously praised, which also continues the trend that the eleven studios have produced masterpieces above the standard.

Especially after comparing the impact of "The Big Bang Theory" during the strike with "Prison Break", one can clearly see the control of Eleven Studios over the episodes. In fact, a good show goes downhill for a very simple reason: the plot is no longer attractive; conversely, the reason why a show can attract audiences is also very simple: it looks good.

The story of "Prison Break" fell into an infinite loop after entering the third season, and Sarah, the only warm character in the play, died tragically, which made the story's excitement and watchability drop by more than one grade, although the drama has not yet arrived. Terrible, but the audience's appeal is indeed declining.

The positioning of "The Big Bang Theory" was not so clear at the beginning, but as the broadcast got better, the positioning of the four geek scientists was clear and clear, plus the lively and lovely little beauties, the laughter was full of laughter, and the complaints were made. It's only natural for the audience to join in.

Especially the dialogue between the four geek scientists, there are not only countless confusing scientific knowledge, but also some highlights that make people complain. For a time, "The Big Bang Theory" became popular on the Internet - just like comics, "Star Wars", and anime heroes, it triggered discussions among countless netizens. The collision of scientific knowledge and common sense of life that appeared in the show is a lively exploration, which makes "The Big Bang Theory" easily the most topical and attention-getting one of the new episodes in 2007. TV series.

Putting this situation in the background of the gradual decline of sitcoms, "The Big Bang Theory" is all the more valuable.

Later, internal news broke the news that Evan-Bell actually tried to save the "prison break" story, but his changes to the script were not approved by Fox TV, which led to the breakdown of the cooperation between the two parties. Although this inside information is not very accurate, it can also let people see the tip of the iceberg. Evan Bell is well-known for being picky about the script, which is also an important reason why the Eleven Studio series has always maintained a high level, while "Prison Break" has not It's really a shame to be able to continue at such a high level in the third season.

Eleven Studio is not a magical workshop, but always has a kind of obsession of literati, scholars, and philosophers, almost stupid obsession, that is, the obsession that is despised and ridiculed by big companies, but it makes Eleven. The studio's work stands out among the many episodes. People can't help but imagine, if the third season of "Prison Break" still stayed in Eleven Studios, what kind of situation would it be? Maybe the drama is no longer a drama, but at least it won't smash directly to the ground from heaven and become unrecognizable.

But no matter what, "The Big Bang Theory" is gradually on track, and this is an unchangeable fact. CBS renews the contract for the second season very readily than the TV station. So far, the five TV series currently being produced by Eleven Studio, including "Mad Men." All have been renewed for a new season, continuing Eleven's work. Room's undefeated record ~www.readwn.com~ is truly an astonishing thing.

After the screenwriter's dismissal, people also have a new understanding of the screenwriter's work, and the irreplaceable role of the script has once again been highlighted. Presumably in the future, the attitudes of major Hollywood companies will undergo subtle changes.

A major strike of screenwriters is still very obvious to the whole change in Hollywood. What will happen in the future is still an unpredictable result. The most direct: whether the status of screenwriters in Hollywood will really be mentioned, it must be Leave time to test. But it is conceivable that the relationship between producers and screenwriters will definitely not be so harmonious, and whether major TV stations and major film companies will hold grudges against screenwriters who actively participate in the strike is also an invisible bombardment. Bullets will have an impact on the future development of the film and television industries.

For Evan-Bell, the strike of screenwriters is not so complicated. It is just a movement for screenwriters to fight for their rights, which is normal. In this process, although Studio Eleven suffered some losses, just like all film companies, at the same time, during the whole strike process, the screenwriters who were in a state of rest also brought a lot of new inspiration and ideas. , Kurt, as soon as Laporte managed to bring a good news, enough to make him smile.

The script of "Breaking Bad" has entered the candidate list of Eleven Studios!
