Chapter 13 Shooting
I signed a contract, and I should be able to change my status in a few days, and the contract was issued today.
โฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆโฆ
It's late at night, but filming for the first season of The Big Bang Theory continues.
โcut!โ Link walked out from behind the camera, thought for a moment, and said, "Sheldon, that action just now wasn't enough, I need you to have a clear thinking action when you perform." It's to show that you don't understand, or rather...... Hmmm......"
Link scratched his head, unable to think of a suitable word.
Today is the first day of filming, and some trivial scenes have been filmed, and only the scenes in the 'apartment' remain. Overall, the previous shooting went quite smoothly, but the key problem was with "Sheldon", which Link had always been optimistic about. In order to get him into the play, Link directly calls him "Sheldon" instead of Jim Parsons.
Seeing Link's somewhat frantic look, Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon, was also a little nervous, and this was the first time he participated in the filming of the series. Maybe it's because he attaches too much importance to it, which makes his performance a little unnatural.
'Sheldon' was standing behind the couch, and Penny was sitting on the couch. On either side were whiteboards full of esoteric physics formulas, which were not written by Link, but by physics professors from New York University.
Since The Big Bang Theory is a series that involves a lot of physics, it makes sense to hire a professional to do the work.
"Director, let me do it again."
'Sheldon' said anxiously.
"Okay." Link nodded, even though it was late at night, he couldn't stop to catch up. Because, he plans to get "The Big Bang Theory" on the CAA TV screen this Friday.
Link returned to the camera with his hair messy, and Sheldon took a deep breath and slowly got into shape. Seeing his movements, Link couldn't help but nod.
The plot of this scene is that Penny visits Sheldon and Leonard's house, and Leonard invites Penny to eat Indian food. Since Penny is sitting in Sheldon's preferred position, Sheldon wants Penny to sit in a different place.
It seems that the plot is very simple, but the funny point is that Sheldon and Leonard are both scientists, and a simple 'change of seat' problem can be very funny.
"Sixty-five, seventh shot, action!"
Sheldon stopped arguing with Leonard and turned to see Penny sitting in his seat.
Sheldon said formally, "Penny, that's where I'm sitting." โ
Penny (played by Mira) smiled casually, "You can sit next to me." โ
The rest of the show was key, and 'Sheldon' had repeated it several times, but it didn't satisfy Link.
This time, Sheldon heard Penny's words, which was originally a very ordinary question, but Sheldon thought for half a second with a serious expression, and said very formally again: "No...... I'm sitting here. โ
Link, who was sitting behind the camera, nodded in satisfaction, and 'Sheldon' finally performed the image he wanted. While others didn't know why Link had to struggle with a little 'expression', Link didn't.
Others hadn't seen The Big Bang Theory at all, but Link had it in his head. The key to the funny reason why Sheldon's character is sรจ lies in the word 'stay'.
Throughout the series, Sheldon hardly ever laughs, but this character Sรจ is full of laughter. That's why, Link almost used the posture of 'drilling the tip of the horn' to ask for Sheldon's horn.
And Mira and the others are still performing.
Penny asked, a little strangely, "What's the difference between where you sit?" โ
Sheldon was very stubborn: "What's the difference? โ
I saw Sheldon start a tirade with confidence: "In winter, this location is closer to the heating, so it is warmer, but not too hot to cause sweating......"
'Sheldon' was almost completely immersed in it, and he began to analyze the superiority of this seat from different angles as if he were studying a physics problem.
Sheldon gushed a lot and finally concluded, "...... I could go on, but I think you already know what I mean. โ
Sheldon's last expression ended with 'turning his head sideways in dissatisfaction, as if his beloved thing had been usurped and he was justifiably fighting for possession of it.'
โcut๏ผโ Link watched the performances of several people with satisfaction, and only then did he stand up and say with a smile: "Very good, Sheldon, your performance is too good, too perfect." โ
'Sheldon' touched his nose a little shyly: "Director, you should call me Jim or Parsons, I feel like I'm about to split my personality." โ
Jim Parsons' words made everyone laugh.
Mira also laughed and said: "Filming is so much fun, I can't wait to see myself on TV." โ
"Don't worry, you'll see yourself on CAA TV this Friday."
Link also can't wait, this is his first time as a director, and the trajectory of his future life is all bet on this series.
At this moment, Link's cell phone rang.
"Sorry, I'll answer the phone." Link said apologetically and answered the phone.
"Link, it's me, old Jim."
Old Jim's impatient voice came from the other end of the line.
Link didn't expect old Jim to call him at this time and asked, "Is there anything wrong with me?" โ
"What's the matter?" Old Jim began to growl, "Link, you're as stupid as your damn daddy!" Originally, the ratings of CAA TV were already very good, and I also moved the idea of investing again, but what kind of comedy are you going to shoot now? You're looking for death, do you know what the word 'bankruptcy' means?
What the hell are you idiots thinking? CAA TV will be destroyed in your hands, but fortunately I have withdrawn my shares from CAA, otherwise I would have been dragged to hell by you. I even wanted to invest in you again the other day, I'm crazy! โ
Old Jim cursed unceremoniously, and Link's expression froze.
"Old Jim, listen to me. Now the boss of CAA TV is me, you are no longer an investor, and it is not your turn to dictate what I want to do. โ
Old Jim snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the fact that I have invested in CAA TV for more than 20 years, I wouldn't care if you live or die." Okay, you go ahead and shoot your bullshit comedy, I'm going to see how you end up on the streets, and maybe I'll give you a few dollars for your dead daddy's sake. โ
Old Jim's cold words finally angered Link, and he began to growl, "You son of a bitch, I'll let you know what regret is." โ
Syllable! Link just hung up the call.
Old Jim completely angered him, and at the same time ignited the fighting spirit in his heart!
Well, that's good! Don't you all want to see my jokes? Don't they all want me to go bankrupt and become a pauper? Then I'll do a big job, let your dog's eyes see carefully, how did I make CAA TV a first-class TV media in the United States!
The raging rage, accompanied by a high level of unwillingness, made Link's expression look even more crazy.
"Old ...... Boss, are you alright? โ
Fat Jack walked over quietly and said with some fear.
"I'm fine." Link calmed down and turned his head to see everyone present looking at him.
"Guys." Link solemnly glanced at everyone present, and said loudly: "Now, almost all of North America is waiting to see our jokes, and they are all saying, look! What kind of bullshit sitcom that damn Link filmed, he's going to die ugly, and no one is going to look at his "The Big Bang Theory" even once. โ
Link's suppressed expression, coupled with his mournful tone, made everyone feel his grief and indignation at the moment.
Mira walked over at some point, wearing a plain pink T-shirt, which Link had specially prepared to show his life.
"Director, don't worry! As long as we know for ourselves how colorful this series is, by the time the series is released, the ratings will definitely be high to burn those. Eggs of the child. โ
Mila is not a soft girl, otherwise she would not have starred in the "Resident Evil" series in the future, the fierce heroine. At this time, as soon as her words came out, the depressing atmosphere was immediately relieved, and Link's mood was much better.
"Thank you, Mira!" Link looked deeply into Mira's eyes and said.
When Mira saw Link's eyes, her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a little, and she shy away from his gaze.
With a smile on the corner of Link's mouth, he stepped onto the small stage in a few steps, and said heroically to everyone: "I won't back down, Mira is right." When the ratings of "The Big Bang Theory" are high, they will burn those. Eggs of the child. โ
What happened just now was just a small episode, but everyone was also inspired by Link's words, and continued to join in the intense shooting.
