Was there any behind-the-scenes story when the American drama The Big Bang Theory was filmed?

The story behind the filming of The Big Bang Theory, the pilot set is so ugly that it is almost not filmed? The American drama "The Big Bang Theory" is watched by many friends? Alternative drama? It is also the last large-scale indoor sitcom in Hollywood. It was very popular just after it was broadcast, and the ratings were bursting, and the salaries of several starring actors rose all the way!

For millions of fans, every episode of this drama can bring freshness to people, and also make people more interested in the lives of several bookworm heroes, two female scientists and a beautiful woman!

Bian Xiao took stock of some stories behind The Big Bang Theory. Let's watch them together!

1. The pilot episode was so ugly that it almost came out!

Friends who love watching American TV shows know that before the official broadcast of American TV shows, the crew will sign a pilot episode with the TV station. The crew will shoot a separate episode and broadcast it. The content department of the TV station will watch the market reaction, optimize the program, review the development prospect of the drama, and then decide whether to sign the contract!

But in the pilot of this episode, although Sheldon is still Jim? Parsons played it, but his role is not an antique, who doesn't understand the world and worldly desires, but a scientist who had a love relationship with the heroine in the first episode!

Leonard, the hero, is even different. In the pilot episode, he is not wearing a classic bookworm sweater, but a man who loves to wear a suit!

Most importantly, in the pilot episode, there is no penny and no Kerry? Tsoko, Sheldon and Leonard's best friend is a girl named Katie, and Raj and Howard don't exist!

After the trial broadcast, CBS thought it was ugly at first and wanted to refuse, but because there was never an American drama with the same theme on the market at that time, it felt that it should have potential, so it was proposed that The Big Bang Theory should be changed a lot.

Therefore, the TV station asked the main creator to start shooting again and changed the role and design, which made the Big Bang Theory so successful when it was officially broadcast!

Bernadette's voice in the play is nothing like it!

Bernadette, who appeared in the third season of "The Big Bang Theory", injected a lot of fresh blood into the play, and was very popular because she was brilliant and looked like a husband and wife with Howard, so she was promoted to a regular role in the fourth season!

In the following years, The Big Bang Theory dug up many jokes about Bernadette!

I still remember Bernadette's first appearance, which gave people the impression that she was a quiet and gentle little woman with a petite figure and a good temper.

But then, with the leading role in The Big Bang Theory, it got better and better, and everyone saw another side of Bernadette. She turned into a loud voice when she was angry, and her voice was 80% similar to Howard's mother! When she is excited and happy, her voice becomes very high again, and the dog next door will shout when she hears it!

In fact, in real life, Bernadette plays Melissa? Roach's normal voice is completely different from that in the play, just like Penny's voice!

So how does Melissa imitate Howard's mother's voice? It turned out that she deliberately raised her voice and added some New Jersey accents!

Really talented, no wonder Melissa took over the voice of the clown girl later!

3. Star pay has risen sharply!

When The Big Bang Theory was filmed in the eighth season, all the actors renegotiated their salaries and signed contracts with the crew and TV stations. Among them, the actors with the highest salaries were naturally the three main characters Sheldon, Leonard and Penny.

The end result is that CBS bought three seasons of The Big Bang Theory in one breath. Jim and Kerry? In the next two or three seasons, Tsoko and Johnny will be paid 1 10,000 USD per episode. This wage class firmly belongs to the front line of Hollywood American TV series.

The key point is that TV stations have always signed American TV shows season by season, and it is extremely rare to buy more than two seasons at a time. This shows that buying more seasons is to prevent the protagonist from rising again! And CBS didn't lose money on this decision, but made a fortune!

After all, in the next few years, as the relationship between Ear and Amy improved, Bernadette gave birth to a baby and Leonard Penny got married. The ratings of The Big Bang Theory have been very stable!

The two main supporting roles, Howard and Raj's Simon? Helberg and Quino? Niya also renegotiated her remuneration.

After some bargaining, the two signed a film fee of about 750 thousand per episode the day before the expiration of the old contract. Fortunately, the two sides negotiated. If they don't sign, the TV station will let the writers leave or die in the new season the next day!

The remaining supporting actress is Melissa who plays Bernadette and Amy? Cockroaches and disabilities? Thanks to Rick.

Because these two characters appeared in the third season and became the main supporting roles in the fourth season, their pay has been relatively low, starting with $200,000 per episode.

However, in 1 1 season and 12 season, the three leading actors with the highest income are willing to take the initiative to reduce their pay per episode, totaling $900,000, and use this money to raise their salaries for Melissa and Meme, so they also got $450,000 per episode in the last two seasons!

Seriously, this is not only a good colleague, but also a good friend!

4. Kerry and Johnny dated privately for a while!

In the early days of The Big Bang Theory, actor Leonard Johnny? Geilke Pinocchio is dating another actress, and Penny plays Kerry? Sasako is also dating a tall and handsome actor!

But I don't know if it is because of the long-term love and the on-off relationship that has been played in the play that Johnny finally fell in love with Kerry!

But this relationship has always been very secret. It was not until they broke up that Kerry told foreign media that she had been in love with Johnny for two years!

Fortunately, they have been close friends since they broke up. For them, not just each other? Ex-girlfriends and ex-boyfriends have been filming tacitly for so many years, and getting along is a very important part of your life!

The two also clarified that the reason why it was not made public was because Penny and Leonard were on and off during that time in The Big Bang Theory, so they kept a low profile in order not to affect everyone's mood at the play!

5. For filming, the actors really learned to play the piano!

In order to play a good role and shape a good figure, some Hollywood actors will change their figure, exercise their muscles and lines to be full or slender, and let themselves be on the verge of collapse for ten days and a half for the role.

For The Big Bang Theory, Meme and Jim? Parsons really learned a lot of musical instruments!

In the play, Amy's spare time hobby is playing the harp. On the night of her date with Sheldon, she often plays the harp to Sheldon, but for those short scenes where she plays the harp and sings, Meme really learns to play the harp!

In the fourth season of "The Big Bang Theory" 12, Sheldon was kicked out of the team that developed the equation to solve the APP by Leonard because of his annoying personality!

Because of revenge, he decided to continue to make trouble for his friends. Sheldon took out his killer weapon, that is, moving his Tremenko to the living room and making noise!

Although in this episode, Sheldon simply debugged the Tremaine and then sat on the stairs and sang a song, the Tremaine is a difficult instrument, Jim? Parsons is really studying hard!

Except Memphis and Jim? Parsons specializes in learning musical instruments. In The Big Bang Theory, except for Penny and Bernadette, every protagonist can play musical instruments. For example, Johnny learned cello and played bass in his twenties!

Although Raj and Howard's bands only appeared after a few years, it can be seen that Kunnao? Niya playing guitar and singing is still fun!

In fact, Simon Howard plays the best musical element in the protagonist of The Big Bang Theory. Helberg

Although the only thing that really shows his musical talent in the play is playing "Without You" to his wife outside the ward, Simon's piano playing level is really good!

You know, Simon played in a band before he became an actor! /kloc-you can play the piano in a bar at the age of 0/5!

Later, several leading actors also said that everyone sang in the play. After all, The Big Bang Theory, as an indoor sitcom, is broadcast live! If the later dubbing is fake, you can hear it!

Now, The Big Bang Theory is over, but I believe several actors will bring us more good works in the future!
