12 years ＂The Big Bang Theory＂ ushered in the finale. Do you remember these eggs？
BEIJING, May 17 (Ren Siyu) Less than half of 2019 has passed, but many people have said goodbye several times: the 8-year American drama Game of Thrones will end next week, the 11-year reunion series will say goodbye briefly, and the Big Bang Theory, which has been with the audience for 12 years, is about to usher in the final chapter.
On May 17th, Beijing time (May 16th, US time), the sitcom "The Big Bang Theory" will broadcast the final episode of the 12th season for one hour. Many netizens posted their memories, and at the same time, they also reviewed the "eggs" of some dramas.
Broadcast for Twelve Years: Redefining "Genius is Sexy"
The Big Bang Theory was officially launched in September 2007, telling the funny daily life between four otaku scientists and their beautiful neighbors, with a group of talented scientists as the leading role, which was rare in the TV drama market at that time. With all kinds of jokes, this TV series has also spread all over the world, and it still maintains a high reputation after 12 years of broadcasting.
In the play, all four leading men work in Caltech, but they have different degrees of social phobia. Sheldon is extremely obsessive-compulsive, Leonard is always teased, Howard is overprotected by his mother, and rajesh, an Indian, is afraid to talk to girls.
In the face of complex interpersonal relationships, their behavior is funny and clumsy, and TV dramas create jokes around the contrast of "high IQ and low EQ".
After 12 years of broadcasting, The Big Bang Theory has become one of the most successful sitcoms in the United States, and it has been nominated for more than 50 Emmy Awards. Actor Jim Parsons also won the Emmy Award for Best Comedy Actor for his role of "Sheldon" four times, and became one of the highest-paid TV actors in the United States. China fans also nicknamed him "Sheldon".
In 2017, the derivative drama "Little Sheldon" developed by "The Big Bang Theory" performed equally well.
The Big Bang Theory not only created a number of vivid characters, but more importantly, redefined that "genius is also sexy". Through fun and interesting dialogues, the TV series explained many scientific knowledge to the audience, such as Schrodinger’s cat, Doppler effect, string theory and so on.
In 2017, Hawking awarded the Hawking Science Communication Medal to The Big Bang Theory at the Starr Mu Si Festival in recognition of its contribution to science communication.
Looking forward to the finale: the main actors all hope to "fix the elevator"
In August 2018, Warner Bros. TV production department announced that the 12th season of The Big Bang Theory will be the final season of the show.
Jim Parsons, the actor of "Sheldon", said: "The simple reason is that it is time to end. We have tried a lot of things. It is true that we can tell the story all the time, but we don’t need to squeeze it dry like this."
In the past 12 years, the audience witnessed the gradual growth of several scientists. Sheldon, who was once considered as "mitosis", also made a touching confession to his girlfriend and successfully entered the marriage. But at the same time, the characters’ initial sense of comedy contrast is also decreasing. For the audience, "they have changed".
It is reported that "The Big Bang Theory" has also become the multi-lens sitcom with the largest number of episodes in American TV history, and the last episode will be the 279th episode, breaking the record of 275 episodes of Cheers.
When talking about the idea of the finale, several leading actors said in unison: I hope they can fix the elevator. This elevator has never been repaired since it appeared in the first season. Jim Parsons said: "The elevator was repaired, at least for a short time, and then we were all trapped inside."
The producer also said that it is necessary to give the audience a "perfect ending like a classic drama". The audience guessed, will the broken elevator be repaired? Will Sheldon win the Nobel Prize? Will he and Amy have children? How will these characters start a new life?
Over the past 12 years, several actors have been deeply attached to each other. "Leonard" Johnny Galecki said in an interview that he selfishly hoped that there would be more emotional scenes in the last episode, because everyone could not stop crying.
On May 1st, the recording of the finale ended, the leading actors took photos of their lines for the last time, and the familiar scenery began to be demolished. "Penny" Kare Tsoko shed tears at the scene and conveyed the words of the creator: "The Big Bang will always be in our hearts, it is beautiful, simple and true." Leonard Johnny Galecki said, "Everything is a dream come true for us. You have been the best audience for 12 years."
Looking back inside and outside the drama: those unforgettable eggs
From the day we learned about the final season, many viewers began to post messages on the Internet. Some people said that this was their own American drama enlightenment.
"In 12 years, the elevator has not been repaired, and I am not ready to say goodbye."
"It comforted me when I was in trouble."
"I cried, I have been with me for so many years."
At the same time, they also mentioned some unforgettable drama eggs:
1. The scientific adviser behind the tablet
In The Big Bang Theory, in order to show the research of Sheldon and his friends, there is often a whiteboard with all kinds of incomprehensible scientific formulas written on it. However, these formulas are not made up out of thin air, and they are inseparable from the scientific consultant of this TV series — — David Saltzberg, professor of physics at UCLA.
It is understood that the professor will check the scientific knowledge in the script every time, and he also opened a blog to interpret the scientific content mentioned in the play.
Hawking has made seven guest appearances.
In The Big Bang Theory, several protagonists study science and love science fiction movies and comic books in their lives, which attracts top figures from all walks of life to make guest appearances, including Stan Lee, the father of Marvel Comics, Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, elon musk, CEO of Tesla, and many famous scientists and entertainers.
Among them, the biggest surprise is the famous physicist Stephen Hawking. As the idol of "Sheldon" in the play, he has made seven guest appearances in "The Big Bang Theory". In March 2018, Hawking died, and many viewers commented: "Sheldon’s idol left, and he must be very sad."
3. "Roaring Mom" who never shows her face
The audience who just started watching The Big Bang Theory will be deeply impressed by a mysterious figure, that is, Howard’s "roaring mother". She loves Howard very much and can’t bear her son to leave her. The conversation between them is growled, and the sentence "Ho-ward" has left a deep impression on countless audiences.
However, this mother has never appeared in the play. In 2014, Carol Ann Susi, the actor who voiced "Roaring Mom", died of cancer, and this role could no longer appear in front of the audience. In the 15th episode of the Big Bang Theory, Howard’s mother died, and many viewers expressed their sadness.
4. "Xie Er" girlfriend is also a schoolmaster outside the play.
In the play, Sheldon’s talented girlfriend (who later proposed successfully), Amy, is a neurobiologist. However, what is even more surprising is that the actor himself, Maim Bialik, is also a neuroscientist.
In her early years, she was admitted to Harvard University and Yale University, but she chose to enter UCLA, and received her doctorate in neuroscience in 2008. In the "Big Bang Theory" crew, writers and producers sometimes ask her for some related knowledge related to the background of neuroscience. It can be said that both inside and outside the play are out-and-out university tyrants.
What does T-shirt No.5.73 mean?
Many viewers still remember that "Sheldon" likes a T-shirt with "73" printed on it, and said that 73 is the most beautiful prime number. In fact, there is a little romance hidden behind this:
73 is the 21st prime number, and conversely, 37 is the 12th prime number, and 21 is the product of 7 and 3. Recently, two mathematicians published papers that confirmed Sheldon’s conjecture that 73 is the only prime number with both product and mirror symmetry.
In addition, after converting 73 into binary, you can get 1001001, which is the same as reading it backwards. More coincidentally, the actor who plays "Sheldon" was born in 1973. Therefore, this "73" is also said by many people to be the most wonderful number.
On May 17th, the Big Bang Theory, which has been with you for 12 years, will finally come to an end. Are you ready? (End)
