Taking advantage of the popularity of the American drama "Breaking Bad Lawyer", @Chang Zhihan brought a behind-the-scenes article of "Breaking Bad Lawyer"
"Breaking Bad" and its spin-off "Breaking Bad" have made "Thor" Bob Odenkirk, a 52-year-old actor who has written and starred in the niche comedy "Mr. Show", but before that his theatrical performance experience was almost zero, and in recent years, he has starred in several film and television works including "Nebraska" directed by Alexander Payne and the serial version of "Ice Storm", most recently starring in this film and television series starring "Poisoner" boss Vince Giovanni. Killgan wrote and produced Breaking Bad again, and as early as 2009, Vince was already considering the production of the show, "I remember it was after the final episode of the third season (Breaking Bad)," Oldencock said, "Vince came to me in the hallway of Albuquerque's office and said: What do you think of doing a spin-off? I think I can dig up a story in it. ”
You seem immediately feel that all this is unlikely, right?
Indeed, I guaranteed that I thought I would play the third season, and then they came to me for a fourth season, but for some reason I only had three scenes in "The Romance of Mom and Dad", and the crew set up another role at that time, so thanks to "Mom and Dad", the audience liked the role of Thor, but many people may not have noticed that I was very happy about it, because "Breaking Bad" was not so smooth at the time, and almost got cut after the second season! Until the official end of Breaking Bad, I had been praying to the saints, which saint was coming? Radal?
Or Saint Joey?
Saint Joey. I wrote a book after that, worked on some film scripts, did some work with David Cross, and starred in Ice Storm. I was also amazed that I could do so many things, "It can be regarded as a big breakthrough in my career." Can be engraved on the monument of my career", no, I am still in the middle of my career. That's not to say I don't see it as the most potential and meaningful step I've ever taken in my career.
Spin-off dramas generally do not have outstanding results, what should it be like for you?
Everyone working on this project knows what's going on, and I won't worry because we're more courageous. I think we all have some experience in making entertainment productions, and we can make ourselves feel a little bit underwhelmed. But we still know that there are risks, so we still handle it carefully. The key to weighing these concerns is "Are we looking for ideas based on an original inspiration?" I left the question to Vince Gilligan and Pete Gurard, who replied with certainty, "Yes," and they've been thinking about and developing the project for years, not the kind of people who rushed to the hospital after Breaking Bad.
Poisoner fans seem to trust Vince and Pete.
The truth is, they are all very hard and focused. They all take their opinions, intuitions, and choices seriously. The first episode was made with enough confidence. The narrative of the opening story is very calm, and I think it does send a message of "don't panic," you know, "We don't have to do our best, we've filled in enough elements, we've dug enough holes." You don't have to ask questions just throw yourself into the story. "I'm still amazed and relieved at what I can finally present to the audience, with so many wonderful ideas, rich stories and surprises concentrated in this TV series.
Have you ever felt bitter about your acting career?
Yes, but you have to struggle, you have to leave it behind, or it will entangle you and bring you down. My agent Bernie Brillstein died in 2008 and he was my agent for 13 years, the last five of which I barely managed to achieve.
What do you mean by nothing?
I made cameo appearances and took on some roles, did some commercials, and wrote demo shows that I thought were pretty good, but none of them were booked. One time Bernie was going crazy and I said there, "Their reason for rejecting the show is okay, I understand." Bernie said, "Go to them!" They are a lump. The show is great! ”。 But we still have to look ahead. Some of my film executive work at that time was also doing a mediocre job, and the most troublesome thing was that when someone noticed and liked this work, they said to me: You are not doing well? All I could say was "I know, and left roundedly."
Before Breaking Bad, did you have theatrical ambitions?
I wouldn't say I have that ambition, but I have that intuition. Thinking back to the time I worked with Chris Farley, I realized then that I should be on stage because Farley was so much fun. But I know it's too hard to be an actor, and it's a lot of risk. I can write a script, although not at Shakespeare's level, but it makes me happy and has no worries. Give me a stack of paper and a pen, and I'll be able to make up a work that makes people laugh. Depending on where I came from, I might do something else, but if I could get a chance, I would try to adapt to it. Of course, I can't be sure what such a role would mean to me. The character (Saul Goodman) is really good, and the laughs and complexities in him make me feel very fitting.
You've said you're not really like Saul.
I like Jimmy, Thor is just a skin, and I'm not sure how close jimmy's character is to that skin. He seems to like to be superficially glamorous, but the Jimmy I know is a groggy individual, he comes from a place you don't understand, he's a serious but slippery tongue, and he often deals with trouble in some disgraceful way. Ignoring loopholes when you're overwhelmed by your own plans resonates with a lot of people.
Now he works in a restaurant.
He's not dead yet. But who knows what happens next? I also think a lot of things happen after the poisoner's story. I can't tell you for sure where Vince and Pete's story is going, but I feel like after being banished for so long, Thor should get a chance not to be so hard.
I still don't understand why HBO doesn't air Mr. Show anymore.
I don't quite understand. Some of these budgets, like the required contract budgets, are not paid by anyone. The show has also been changed several times, and it seems that HBO has it to some extent, but not exactly.
In the past, you've hinted that HBO doesn't like the show.
I think their attitude towards our show is complicated. The show doesn't seem to be for them.
The composition and identity of each television network determines their attitudes and opinions.
Are you currently working on a new show with David Cross, a rerun of Mr. Show?
There will be no re-broadcast of "Mr. Show", but there will be a new sketch show written and performed by Bob and David, not called "Mr. Show", including the soundtrack, logo, design and other aspects will be different. There will be some changes in the rhythm and more integrated ideas. But it's still the same bunch of creators, just like Breaking Bad isn't Breaking Bad, but it's created by the same writers, so you'll find some connections.
