Frank Derabont was a little stunned at this time, or it was appropriate to describe it as laugh-and-hearted. When he heard Evan Bell's question, the tension just now quietly dissipated bit by bit.

"I'm curious, why did you take the initiative to choose Studio Eleven?" Evan Bell asked seriously with a smile on his lips, "It's not that the result is bad, but I can't welcome it anymore. But you know, you have worked with many big production companies. If you go to Paramount, Brad will definitely raise his hands to welcome her, but why did you hand such a wonderful script to Studio Eleven?"

This was actually the case with Jonathan Demi in Venice with "Rachel's Wedding". As a veteran big-name director, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and he has many choices. If it weren't for the constraints of the theme of "Rachel's Wedding", Jonathan Demi would not have worked with Studio Eleven.

The same is true for Frank Delabont, so Evan Bell asked this question only out of his personal curiosity, or what he was even more curious about was the experience and impact of Frank Delabont's past years after he stayed away from the top Hollywood circles.

Frank Derabont was indeed a little amused and amused about Evan Bell's problem and the expression of the curious baby on his face. This absurd but funny emotion relieved his nervousness. After all, Frank Derabont has been in the entertainment industry for nearly 30 years, and the pinnacle of "Shawshank's Redemption" and "Green Miracle" also gave him enough confidence. When the tension just now was broken by Evan Bell's teasing, he gradually relaxed.

"Because this is the Eleventh Studio, full of personality, dares to challenge and not be bound by the Eleventh Studio. I came because of the Eleventh Studio and your Evan Bell's reputation." Frank Derrbont came to express his situation clearly. Although his tone was still a little tight, he was already relaxed too much. "'The Walking Dead' is the first drama in film history that truly features zombies. There are not so many production companies that dare to challenge the traditional TV drama industry."

A drama like "The Walking Dead" is first of all a serious challenge for the TV station. This is an attempt that only cable TV stations dare to make. Otherwise, a zombie work will be bloody and mortal, and it will be constantly dying. Public TV stations do not have such courage. For cable TV stations, the zombie theme itself is not a problem, and the first thing that is burdened is quality. Secondly, the attractiveness of the TV series to the audience. Therefore, to truly invest in production, you must go through layers of consideration.

From the perspective of TV series production companies, when TV stations become cautious, their choices will inevitably be affected. Moreover, it is not easy to create classics in zombie themes, and fans will inevitably compare the series with those classic zombie movies. Although the audience has limitations, this group of viewers is even more picky. They will definitely use the eye of picking their bones to measure the series.

Therefore, the road where the episodes like "The Walking Dead" really appear on the small screen can be said to be full of thorns. Even Studio Eleven must be carefully considered, just look at Cotraport's attitude.

But for Frank Derabont, the pioneering nature of Studio 11 is definitely the best choice. Compared with other companies, Studio 11's courage to challenge will definitely give the "Walking Dead" a brighter future.

Although the reputation of Eleventh Studio in the industry has brought many intangible benefits to the company and Frank Derabont's choice is also one of the additional effects brought by the good reputation of Eleventh Studio, this still made Evan Bell and Cotraport smile because this is the best affirmation of their work and their persistence.

Evan Bell smiled a big smile and nodded, "This is the honor of Studio Eleven." It is indeed an honor of Studio Eleven to be able to produce a series like "The Walking Dead" that opens up a new field.

Frank Derabont had already relaxed a little at this time. He looked at Evan Bell with a smile. He thought Evan Bell would continue to say something, but Evan Bell actually stopped and looked at Cotraport again, obviously trying to hand over the initiative back to Cotraport. Cotraport looked at Frank Derabont, and then saw Frank Derabont's facial expression for a moment, and then laughed clearly.

If Frank Derabont doesn't understand the situation at this time, he has been in the entertainment industry for nearly thirty years in vain. Obviously, whether Evan Bell is Caesar of the Eleventh Studio or not, at least in his opinion, Cotraport is still the one who takes the initiative today, Evan Bell is obviously not a leader who is unwilling to delegate power.

Of course, Frank Derabont knew that the authenticity of rumors in the entertainment industry needs to be verified. It seems that these rumors about Evan Bell need to apply the saying "There are many people who are famous and have many troubles".

"No, I have no problem here." Frank Derabont said with a smile. "I am very happy to be able to cooperate with Studio Eleven. I believe that the production of "The Walking Dead" will be a very outstanding work." Even if a cooperation is reached, "The Walking Dead" has become another work that Studio Eleven will be produced soon. If nothing unexpected happens, the broadcasting station will be the amc TV station that is eager to see.

Several people present shook hands and expressed their expectations for cooperation. Cotraport was preparing to take the script to discuss with Thomas Lansing and Teicais about the part that needs to be paid attention to during the filming of "The Walking Dead". Next, a suitable executive producer needs to be arranged for the series, and the preparation work will be very long. Frank Derabont naturally had to discuss and discuss with the past carefully.

Cotraport and Frank Derabont walked towards the door of the conference room, leaving Evan Bell alone on the sofa to continue reading the script. He suddenly remembered something and raised his head to ask, "Frank, why have you not had any works in these years? I mean, after 'Movie Life'."

Frank Derabont's footsteps had already reached the door. When he heard the inquiry, he turned his head and seemed to be thinking. In fact, media reporters would ask about such questions, but they were based on digging out the starting point, so Frank Derabont might not answer. But Evan Bell was different. He was asking from the standpoint of his peers. His gentle tone made Frank Derabont easily fall into thinking.

"Maybe it's because I don't have the enthusiasm to make movies," Frank Delabont thought for a while before solemnly answering. Cotraport looked at the two people in conversation, listened to the topic, and turned around and left. Anyway, Frank Delabont couldn't lose it at No. 9 Prince Street. "Even the 'Mist' in 2007, this work was the work I wanted to shoot since the 1980s, and later filmed Shawshank for some reasons. After entering the 21st century, the failure of 'Movie Life' made me a little confused. After struggling for a long time, I originally thought that shooting 'Mist' would find a solution, but unfortunately, you know, I failed."

Frank Derabont's answer was very detailed and real, not at all like the first time he met Evan Bell. This kind of conversation seemed to happen between close friends, or between elders and younger generations, but at this time the conversation between Evan Bell and Frank Derabont did not have any sense of incongruity.

"Enthusiastic?" Evan Bell curled his lips and smiled. "What a metaphysical answer."

When Frank Derabont heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "This is a fact. Any career in the workplace will face this problem after reaching a bottleneck, and the entertainment industry is no exception." Frank Derabont paused, as if he was hesitant whether he should continue to say it, but after thinking about it carefully, he continued to speak.

"When you reach a certain position in your career, you will realize that you are driven to move forward by an invisible thing. No matter what it is, it may be the support of the audience, the cheers of popularity, the praise of awards, the pressure of reputation, or the media gouging... But this driving will make your original persistence become impure. Because at the beginning, you started to create because you like music and movies. Then even if you still insist on the work-oriented and hope not to be affected by other colorful factors, in fact, you have been affected unknowingly, because the heart that likes music and movies is no longer simple. You are now working to make good music and films, but not enjoying the joy brought by the music and movie creation process. Then, you are still lost after all."

The smile on the corner of Evan Bell's mouth slowly calmed down and he didn't continue to speak. He just listened quietly. Frank Derabont was experiencing a long trough of his career, but it was a little different. The long trough that began in 2002 has gradually stabilized Frank Derabont's mentality, so he devoted himself to creating the script of "The Walking Dead". Therefore, for Evan Bell, his words were indeed the effect of elders on younger generations.

"Famousness has brought countless effects to you, including my visit today, but at the same time, it has brought countless troubles to you, gradually forgetting that you enjoy the joy of music and movies at the beginning. This is not something you can control, but the influence you are forced to have in this circle. The spotlight surrounding you forces you to take away your control. Everything is a double-edged sword, fame, honor, trophy, popularity, and so on."
