series filmed for 5 seasons in one go, sweeping more than 100 awards, and Douban seasonal scored more than 9 points.
How popular was "Breaking Bad" back then?
Let’s say two points.
1
11 Hollywood casting directors will give priority to selecting roles among actors who have played this drama.
Because even a small character in the play is presented very richly, enough to allow the actors to stimulate their potential.
The second is that the shooting location of Albuquerk City, a large number of fans from all over the world have poured into the economy, and the local government has been lucky enough to establish the "Breaking Bad Day".
In 2012, when "Breaking Bad" was completed, many people said they had not watched enough.
Therefore, three years later, "Breaking Bad" returned with its spin-off series "The Cool Lawyer".
"The Cool Lawyer" tells the process of "Old White" royal lawyer - Thor in "Breaking Bad", how he gradually became a kind little lawyer Jimmy to a "snatch" who specializes in serving drug lords.
episodes are also produced by AMC TV station and created by the original cast of "Breaking Bad".
has the latest and final seasons from the first season to the current season, and its seasonal ratings are still above 9.0.
can be called the century-old drama and the strongest spin-off drama in history -
"The Sweet Lawyer" Season 6
Better Call Saul Season 6
Better Call Saul Season 6
Why can "The Sweet Lawyer" continue the success of "Breaking Bad" and achieve extraordinary achievements?
This has to mention the excellent team behind it, especially the key figures, outstanding screenwriter and producer Vince Gilligan.
Vince was born in 1967. Shortly after entering the industry, he joined the phenomenon-level American drama "X Archives " as a screenwriter and director.
Later, he created the script of "Breaking Bad" with his partner and went to AMC TV station.
Vins created the script very rigorously. She sat in the screenwriter's room with the screenwriter for a whole day, and the plot of an episode took one to two weeks to complete.
They will think repeatedly, what does the character want? What are you afraid of? What are the options?
is not only the main creative team, but also the heads of lighting, props and clothing departments must attend the meeting and discussion.
For example, there is a plot in the fifth season of "Breaking Bad", where the drugmaker Pinkman was kidnapped by a robber and locked in a dungeon for several months.
meeting discussed what kind of costumes this character should be presented without changing clothes for several months.
Because the costumer has been involved in the meeting for a long time, he has a full understanding of the characters in the play.
Therefore, a very persuasive suggestion was put forward to everyone's excitement -
Kidnapper is a character with a gentle appearance and extremely perverted heart.
He will not allow people to be tied up for several months without changing clothes, but will give his old clothes to the other party to wear.
It is precisely because the team is so focused that it has achieved the long-term popularity of "Breaking Bad" and the high quality of the spin-off drama.
Of course, the goodness of "The Cool Lawyer" is also inseparable from the actor who plays Thor Bob Odenkoke .
Bob is a late-stage male star. Before starring in "Breaking Bad", he was unknown for many years. During the shooting process of
, Bob's wonderful acting skills made the role of Thor shine.
screenwriters are also finding feelings more and more, writing this little character into the main character along the way.
and in the spin-off drama "The Cool Lawyer", this supporting role was directly upgraded to the protagonist.
Bob also won the first Emmy Award for Best Actor in the Drama Series and the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in the Drama Series.
In addition to the actor's bonus, the role of Saul itself is also full of tension:
Lawyer originally had a good social status and income, so why did he get along with drug dealers and end up running away?
What kind of experience and mental path does he have to take this path?
Regarding this issue, "The Lawyer of the Sweetheart" uses a six-season plot to unfold and present.
Sal originally wanted to be a good lawyer, but because he had not received formal education and passed the lawyer by himself, he was disliked and excluded by his brother, and eventually his psychological deformation.
Behind each character outside of Saul, there are various complex and three-dimensional personality sides.
For example, Mike , in "Breaking Bad", is a cold-blooded killer who takes care of his granddaughter for his daughter-in-law.
In "The Cool Lawyer", the screenwriter further enriched it:
Mike was a policeman and was highly respected by his son.
The son’s dream since childhood is to become a good policeman like his father.
Dreams come true, but the son was brutally killed because he refused to join in with some scum.
After revenge for his son, Mike had no choice but to embark on the current path.
For example, the new character in the spin-off drama - Saul's wife Jin .
At the beginning, Kim's character was very positive. When Thor began to wander on the brink of blackening in season 5, the two of them also had fierce conflicts.
result In the sixth season, when Thor's path of no return is becoming more and more obvious, Kim unexpectedly chose to get married and made a series of "small moves" with Thor.
At the same time, the plot also flashed back to the fact that Kim was caught stealing something when he was a child.
The mother's words and deeds deeply influenced this woman.
Sometimes, if you want to achieve a good goal, you have to do some bad operations.
For example, Kim and Saul got married, on the one hand because in the United States, the priority of confidentiality agreements between couples is higher than that of lawyers and their employers.
After getting married, Kim has the right to keep a secret for Saul.
On the other hand, both of them hope to provide high-quality legal aid to the poor and be good people who uphold justice.
, for example, the character of , Nacho .
entered the industry because I didn’t want to stay in the store like my father, “work 11 hours a day”, wanting to make a lot of money and live a happy life.
Although he is on the other side of the law, Nacho is firm in his heart and has been doing what he must do.
Because my father was threatened by two drug trafficking forces at the same time, he had to play a double-faced spy, being used again and again, trying to get out again and again.
When the death is approaching, he still does not forget to compromise under the attack of multiple sides to find a way out for his father.
The story in "The Cool Lawyer" all characters point to a common theme: good and evil.
is different from other dramas in black and white.
What Vince team respects is not only the true context of the story development, but also the diversity of human nature:
No one is good or evil. In the right situation, we may all become kind or evil and dangerous people.
people can choose to stand on both sides of the law. Abiding by law or breaking the law does not affect a person's quality or bad.
Whether to keep your trustworthy and follow your inner conscience and morality may be the criteria for judging a person's good or bad.
Finally, there is an easter egg.
"Breaking Bad" and "The Cool Lawyer" will intersect in the final season.
As screenwriter Vince revealed:
If "The Scoundrel Lawyer" does not appear until the end of Lao Bai and Xiao Fan, it would be a very regrettable, isn't it?
These two worlds will intersect in a way you have never seen before, that's for sure.
As for how to complete the "Dual Teacher Universe"? The first half of the season has been aired and the second half will be aired soon.
Without further ado, let’s wait and see.
