After seeing off Mark Foligno, Evan Bell stood on the second floor of 9 Princes Street for a while, with a smile on his lips.

The world is really amazing, isn't it? At the beginning, Evan Bell was thinking of writing the script of "The King's Speech" day and night, and wanted to make a career; but now when the script is really delivered to him, and the producer also hopes that this himself Can shoulder the two heavy responsibilities of director and protagonist, but he refused without hesitation.

It's like watching other people wearing Converse canvas shoes when I was a child, and I was envious, and my dream was to have a pair when I grew up. But when I grew up and put on canvas shoes, I realized that it was no big deal, and even my personal preferences had changed drastically. This is growth.

After walking downstairs, Evan Bell looked at his colleagues who were enjoying afternoon tea time, and could not help but rebuke seriously, "Who of you thinks 'The King's Speech' is suitable for me? It's because I haven't had a hangover last night. Wake up, or are you still thinking about your girlfriend at home?"

Evan Bell's words immediately caused the staff on the first floor to burst into laughter, and then began to testify, "Henry, Henry..." I saw a young man suddenly hugging his head and running away, and ran over in the direction of the side door. Just by looking at it, you can tell that you want to escape from the office on the tenth next door.

However, Evan Bell shouted from behind, "It's not the same as my site." Everyone laughed and laughed. The young man named Henry stood by the side door, unable to advance or retreat, and looked very It was embarrassing, and it made Evan Bell laugh.

Evan Bell naturally couldn't really punish the young man. After laughing, he was ready to leave. After coming out of the post-editing room just now, Evan Bell was planning to go back to No. 12 Prince Street to rest, but was marked by Mark - Foliño stops him. But it can't wait for Evan Bell to move on. He was stopped by someone again, "Evan, will you show up for the meeting at four o'clock in the afternoon? Or tell them that you are busy."

"What meeting?" Evan Bell looked blank, after he returned to New York. I have been busy with the later stages of "Inception" and "In the Cloud". It was also an accident that Marc Foligno was blocked today, other than that, he hadn't asked about the company for a while.

Seeing Evan Bell's expression, the staff who asked about it knew what it meant. "Understood, we'll say you're busy in the post-editing room." Evan Bell nodded, no objection.

Back at home, Evan Bell first went to take a nap, and when he woke up, he found that it was four o'clock. Then he sat on the balcony and read the script of "The King's Speech". Man is really a very strange animal. If he hates a person or thing, he will not like it. On the contrary, if he likes a person or thing, he is full of joy no matter how it develops. Evan Bell now looks at the script of "The King's Speech", and he has this taste. With a critical eye, he constantly picks up. A script is picked up by him for nothing. "It's better to read a history book, it's more interesting. ."

Evan Bell flipped through less than thirty pages. I felt like I couldn't watch it anymore. Although he promised that Marc Foligno would read the script, it seemed that he couldn't finish it within today. Evan Bell threw the script on the table, first went to No. 11 next door and stayed with Katherine Bell for a while, and then walked back to No. 9. The post-production "in the cloud" is still in full swing.

It's almost five o'clock at this time, and the sunset in the sky makes Prince Street look a kind of tragic and quiet beauty. The colors of nature can always make people sigh easily. Evan Bell walked towards the third floor of No. 9 Prince Street along the stairs plated with a layer of faint gold by the setting sun, when he reached the second floor. The door of the conference room opened, and a polite farewell came from the door. But a call amid the footsteps stopped the other noises, "Evan!"

There is no hidden surprise in the voice, and it clearly conveys the true emotions of the protagonist. Evan Bell stood on the stairs from the second floor to the third floor and stopped, "Hey, Ken, welcome to number nine" It's almost five o'clock now, Evan Bell thought it started at four o'clock The meeting should have ended long ago, but I didn't expect to just catch up with a tail. It was an old acquaintance who came to the meeting. Ken Burns, a well-known producer of Fox TV, had many experiences in dealing with Eleven Studio. Evan Bell did not intend to exchange too many greetings, "You guys Keep busy, I still have work to do." Evan Bell pointed to the upstairs and started walking again.

"Evan," Ken Burns took two steps forward and stopped Evan Bell again, ignoring Teddy Bell who was trying to stop him, "I came today to ask if you would like to 'Glee' has a tribute set for you."

Evan Bell stopped, he looked down from above, but his eyes didn't stop too much on Ken Burns, but looked at Teddy Bell. Teddy Bell, who has always had a sincere expression, did not look very good at this time. Obviously, the meeting that had been struggling for nearly an hour just now was a discussion on this proposal. Now that the meeting is over, it means that Teddy Bell has already given his answer. But Ken Burns has made this proposal again in front of Evan Bell. This is not only a distrust of Teddy Bell, but also a very rude behavior. No wonder Teddy Bell is dissatisfied. .

What happened to Fox TV? From the standpoint of a mega-corporation, such a faux pas should not have been done, and neither is Ken Burns. Oh, by the way, News Corporation, the parent company of Fox Television, has stepped down from the top ranks of the world, and Fox Television is in a very bad situation now, no wonder they are anxious.

But these are not reasons for Evan Bell, "Ken, is this the question you discussed at the meeting today?" Evan Bell did not answer directly, but confirmed it again. Ken Burns also realized his rashness, but what can be done now, there is no other way but to bite the bullet, so Ken Burns nodded. Evan Bell spread his hands, "That's right, the answer Teddy gave you is my answer."

In Studio Eleven, to a certain extent, Teddy Bell's words are the final decision, and outsiders can never interfere in the affairs between the two Bell brothers. No one can challenge the authority of Teddy Bell, no matter who the other party is, not even Warner Bros., who has the closest partnership with Eleven Studios, not to mention Fox TV, which has drifted away in the past two years.

After Evan Bell finished speaking, he did not leave immediately, but stood there and looked at Ken Burns silently. But it was such a look that made Ken Burns' scalp tingle, he knew that he had stepped on a landmine. But what can he do? The current situation of Fox TV can be said to be difficult. Although it is said that in this year's ratings competition, Fox TV has maintained its lead, but the advantage has disappeared. Once it collapses, Fox TV will decline at a far faster rate. It's going to be more than what it was on TV.

Ken Burns faced Evan Bell's stern reply, and knew that he had no turning back. Teddy Bell had rejected his proposal just now. Now that he meets Evan Bell, this is the last It's a lifesaver, so he can only continue to try to convince, "Evan, 'Glee' is now No. 1 in the United States in both ratings and viewership, and this is the first movie on the small screen that truly belongs to the The musical series of young people has won a lot of praise. And you have always been the object of admiration for young people. We very much hope to make a special series to pay tribute to you. I hope everyone can understand your thoughts on the road of making independent music. It’s also very helpful in promoting the development of independent music.”

Ken Burns only felt like he was on his back. Teddy Bell behind him and Evan Bell in front of him were not the masters of being fooled, but he was walking a tightrope to challenge the bottom line of both of them. , which made him speak very fast, and only hoped that he could do his best to express his inner thoughts. But fortunately, the Bell brothers did not plan his words, otherwise the scene is estimated to be completely stiff.

"Of course, if you can star in an episode of 'American Idol' and then take part in the filming of 'Glee', and we broadcast it on the same night, the effect will be absolutely perfect. "Ken Burns finally expressed all the thoughts in his heart in the simplest way. In fact, Ken Burns had already talked to Teddy Bell about this for nearly an hour, and now it is nothing more than Just tell Evan Bell again.

Evan Bell did not answer immediately, but raised his eyebrows and waited for Ken Burns to finish speaking. After confirming that he had finished speaking, he smiled, "Thank you for your love. But I think Teddy has The stance is very clear, although I am a little sorry, but I think this is the final result." Evan Bell did not intend to give any positive response at all, but still insisted on Teddy Bell's conclusion, "Then, sorry I still have work." Evan Bell nodded with a smile, then turned and left, giving Ken Burns no face at all. Evan Bell's answer with a smile made Ken Burns feel hot on his cheeks, and he couldn't say a word.

Ken Burns knows that he really offended the Bell brothers today. But why? Why did Evan Bell reject his proposal?
