Today's third update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Frank Darabont has been a little restless during today's negotiation process. It is difficult for him to keep his eyes on Kurt Laporte, and he always drifts to Evan Bell next to him involuntarily.

Frank Darabont has been away from the top Hollywood circles for a long time. "The Mist" in 2007 is also the work of the independent production company Dimen Pictures. Unfortunately, the results were not satisfactory, and it did not cause more waves. But over the years, the deeds of Evan Bell can be said to be endless, but Frank Darabont has never had a more accurate source of information, so the various stories of Evan Bell have just stopped in rumors.

In the eyes of Frank Darabont, or to be more precise, according to the rumors, Evan Bell is a difficult person to get along with. His personality is too strong and his talent is too dazzling. Among the head-to-head encounters, very few people can gain the upper hand. And those so-called little tricks and unspoken rules Evan Bell do not look at, if you try to use these methods to attack Evan Bell, it will only be self-inflicted, just look at the current situation of Universal Pictures. . Therefore, according to the rumors, Evan Bell is a arrogant and self-centered man. Now he is talented and in full swing. Once he is no longer magical, it is estimated that there are absolutely countless people who want to get down. That's why Katherine Heigl's rhetoric about Evan Bell's "Caesar" was so influential.

Rumors, in fact, people in the circle know that this is a layer of fog, almost as long as people in this circle have more or less rumors, positive and negative, and there are countless more, we have to clear the fog in front of us to see the true face of the artist. But it's not that easy. Therefore, people inside the circle are very keen to spread the so-called rumors, but very few really believe it, because they know that it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, but to the audience outside the circle, these rumors are true as their lives.

Although Frank Darabont is an insider, he is a little uncertain. After all, he has been away from the top circle for a while, and he cannot make an accurate judgment on the young man Evan Bell.

Now Evan Bell appeared in the meeting. Originally, Frank Darabont was worried that Evan Bell would point fingers at his script proposal. You must know that Evan Bell is now the most famous rumor in the circle but not " Caesar", but his "wisdom eye", a script that can be seen by Evan Bell's critical eye, and it is not far from success. Evan Bell's criticality can be imagined, which also gives Frank De Rabont brought great pressure.

But apart from the initial greeting, Evan Bell handed over the initiative to Kurt Laporte. He just sat attentively and read the script without intervening a word. Frank Darabont was concentrating on talking to Kurt Laporte, while worrying about whether Evan Bell was picking on himself after reading the script. This also makes Frank - Darabont has been somewhat distracted.

Kurt Laporte, who was sitting directly opposite, witnessed all this with his own eyes, but he did not expose Frank Darabont. He was always a gentleman, but he had some playfulness in his eyes. Of course, Kurt Laporte knows the rumors about Evan Bell in the current circle. He also knows the influence of the name "Evan Bell" on the producer circle, but Kurt Laporte entered Studio Eleven. It has been four years in the blink of an eye, and he is more aware of the purity of Evan Bell, or it would be more appropriate to describe it with focus.

The script, this is the object of Evan Bell's personal focus. He has always been on the matter, and it will not change because the other party is Frank Darabont or Jerry Bruckheimer. So, looking at Frank Darabont's eyes floating to the side from time to time, Kurt Laporte couldn't help but find it very interesting.

"Do you have a general plan for the first season?" Kurt Laporte asked casually, but his eyes stayed on Frank Darabont's involuntarily drifting to his right. Kurt Laporte found this scene very interesting.

Frank Darabont is also a famous director who once stood at the peak, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Green Miracle", these two works alone are enough to make him famous in history, but the Frank Darabont in front of him is not. It seems like a fledgling rookie, watching Evan Bell's color nervously. Of course, there must be a reason for this, which also makes Kurt Laporte wonder how Frank Darabont's life has come through these years, and how terrible the pressure on his shoulders, from "Life in Film" in 2001 The failure of Frank Darabont's nine years to begin with is truly unimaginable to outsiders.

"Yes, I'm going to shoot six episodes." Frank Darabont took his eyes back and tried to calmly say, finding information about "The Walking Dead" from the clutter of thoughts in his head, "On the one hand, let The pace of the first season is quicker, and it's also a test of the audience's reaction, which is good for the production of the entire series."

Kurt Laporte nodded and agreed, "A zombie drama in the true sense, the requirements for the script are very strict, and your idea is correct." Kurt Laporte stopped his eyes on the The script on the desktop paused for a while, "What about the shooting plan?"

Frank Darabont tried his best to concentrate and thought for a while, "I still want to calm down and start writing the script, not to mention whether the first six episodes of the script can be completed, at least after three episodes of the script. , and then start filming." Having said this, Frank Darabont hesitated for a while, and then asked tentatively, "I think the filming will not start until March next year at the earliest," said the first sentence. , and later he gritted his teeth and said, "If it's a little later, it's possible to delay the filming until May. After all... quality is the most important thing."

There is still one month left in 2009, and Frank Darabont's concept of "The Walking Dead" should be an episode that will be broadcast in the fall of 2010, so he is worried that Eleven Studio will be more strict in terms of time. , if you want to mention the summer broadcast, then the time is very tight. So, that makes Frank Darabont a little nervous.

No, Kurt Laporte just pondered for a while, then nodded and said, "No problem, as long as the script can be written before September, the shooting will start immediately, and the broadcast time will be later. Pushing some is not too big of a problem."

Kurt Laporte is considering the reaction of the TV station. If it is broadcast in the fall of next year, then 2009 will be equal to a one-year gap, which is contrary to the original three-year contract, so he is thinking How to convince the TV station. At the same time, if the TV station is not willing, then "The Walking Dead" must find a way again, and how should the gap in the third series of the TV station be filled. These chaotic thoughts made Kurt Laporte think for a while.

But Frank Darabont's eyes could not hide the surprise, he still looked at Evan Bell subconsciously, this time he didn't hide his head turning at all, clearly expressing his inner feelings Idea: Kurt, don't you need to ask what Evan meant?

But Evan Bell was still flipping through the script, as if he was in the library, without any reaction. Kurt Laporte laughed when he saw Frank Darabont's actions. Outsiders didn't know it, but they couldn't understand it inside Eleven Studios.

Evan Bell not only did not hold the power inside the studio, he was hands-on with everything. On the contrary, Evan-Beer wished that these things should not bother him, he would concentrate on his work, and the company's affairs could be as little as possible.

Now Kurt Laporte and the others try to handle things in their own hands. If they can't handle it, they go to Teddy Bell. Unless they have to, they won't bother Evan Bell. Evan Bell will appear today, purely out of curiosity about the new project that Eleven Studios and TV stations have cooperated with. There is no plan to intervene at all. Kurt Laporte can't understand it any more. But who knows, the rumors about "Caesar" outside are so hot.

"Frank, do you have any questions?" Kurt Laporte didn't break Frank Darabont's mind~www.readwn.com~ After all, it's just a rumor in the circle, and it's a good idea for Eleven Studio. It doesn't matter, they don't need to clarify to everyone, "If not, I think, I can rest assured and look forward to our cooperation this time."

Since Frank Darabont approached Studio Eleven this time, Kurt Laporte will arrange today's meeting, hoping that Studio Eleven will take over the "Walking Dead", so after a detailed conversation, it was confirmed that After there is no problem, Kurt Laporte naturally wants to confirm the partnership.

Frank Darabont obviously still hadn't reacted from the previous question. His eyes returned to Kurt Laporte, stopped for a while, and then turned to Evan Bell again, hesitated, and considered himself. The tone of voice, "Evan, after you read the script, do you know if there is any problem?" In the eyes of outsiders like Frank Darabont, it is "Caesar" Evan Bell who has the power to decide.

Kurt Laporte also noticed this, but he didn't mind at all, just looked at Evan Bell with a smile, and vaguely looked forward to Evan Bell's answer.

Evan Bell heard the question, looked up from the script, realized Frank Darabont was looking at him, paused, "Oh," before adding, "There's a problem, I'm curious, why did you take the initiative to choose Studio Eleven?"
