We have the opportunity to talk to the Chicago fire show Andrea Martin about cross -border with the Chicago MED and Chicago PD.
Don’t worry-without any damage. However, we did discuss these cross -logistics, including who determined the character arcs in the three series.
Start the fire immediately!
Therefore, you will have a large cross -border car. How does the writer’s room gather together to start such projects? What is this process?
Yes, very interesting. This is what we do. I mean, it started for a few months. You know that this is actually a plan for several months and months, which is crazy, but it starts with the general dialogue between all performers.
Then, we allocated the writers to these plots, and each show was assigned the writer. These three people entered the room, began to adopt large pictures, and produced and added all the characters’ content before and after the episode.
Yes, we maintain the operation of the text chain. You know that we have medical buildings next door and PD, and you will only see people enter and exit each other’s buildings, doors, and run along the hall. Yes, this is just a lot, just like beehives that happened when this happened.
We also have a text chain that can be updated with each other in the latest twists and turns. Isn’t that difficult?
I mean, you have three completely different procedures, and they all need to be suitable for a episode from the last episode.
This is so challenging. I think everyone has this feeling of climbing Mount Everest to some extent, but the reward is so great.
Interestingly, all these programs feel together and see the writers you passed in the hall, but you don’t always sit down and talk to the actors-actors can also wander together.
It’s really interesting. It gathers everyone together in a very good way.
Each of these cross -border is dangerous, and others have saved them. How do you determine which characters will be disaster and which characters will be saved for one day? Are there competition between you?
This is a good problem. Yes. This is very interesting, because we are talking about, of course, how every tone we start is the same as other programs.
Then, when you challenge it, everyone came to the same place. In the end, it is centered on character. Just like, where is the role of the moment when this cross occurs, and what the best story is the story we tell these characters now?
That is really a way of swinging. In this case, we have happened many different things at a time.
This is true, the plot itself is not like fire, medicine, PD. It feels like a three -hour movie. We didn’t even think so about this way of erupted, because we classified at the scene.
All the medical staff are there, and our guy is running from the fire scene from the fire. The PD guy is investigating the scene and goes to the hospital to talk to the witnesses. Therefore, everything is interconnected, and the character story is to guide its front and central part.
Obviously, Stella and Ruzek first met during this cross -border period, right?
I tried to think about whether they had passed, but they must not have such a connection before. They must never be in crisis in this way.
Therefore, the special dynamics you mentioned are really interesting, because we have never seen it before, and they are very powerful. Lieutenant Kid would not accept orders from Luzke, and Ruzek didn’t want to accept the command.
This true pleasure of cross-border is to see that they must gather together in the crisis-all these dynamics, see everyone, without meeting, because there are many new actors.
When they come up with how to get rid of their dilemma, how do their personality complement each other?
Yes, their personality. This is very interesting because I think Ruzek is really injured. You know, his task is different from her. He is trying to resolve a mystery at the same time.
He tried to make people live. She is the atmosphere of rescue workers and peace, ports and storms. Therefore, both of them have these crisis moments with their interpersonal relationships.
Both of them were trapped, and there were other important things outside. Therefore, Severide and Burgess also gathered together to try to communicate with them and test their relationship in this way.
OK I have to ask this question, because my editor is talking about interpersonal relationships today, and there are few real good and solid people on TV. However, we saw cross -border trailers, we saw Severide shed tears, and we knew everyone was in trouble.
Is it difficult to build a happy relationship where people live and live a good time? Is it easier to show them struggle? I was just curious about this from the perspective of the writer.
Very interesting. What I want to say is that the relationship with reality is more challenging from the perspective of writing. You know, this is indeed all you have to do to make it real and related to the people who watch.
No one has a perfect relationship-I know anyway. Therefore, what you have to do is to thoroughly study all the cracks and cracks of any normal relationship, and then place it under these crises. Therefore, what I want to say is true.
Make it dramatic and feel like our relationship in the fantasy world.
You mention that you can see the writers you usually do not see and work with actors and characters that are usually not used.
What is the extension of the story to such an extent? You know, you see these characters every week, and they are in your world? For example, Attovat was on the Tomocy Fire last week.
What is the difference between trying to do such a small thing and make everyone gather together?
The challenge is that when we do this, this is an episode. Therefore, it just integrates Atwater into our world, but it has created a huge world, and you must combine everyone.
This is different. This is not the world of fire.
As I said, our PD, FIRE and MED World are their own things-its own small universe, with its own planets, stars and everything else. Therefore, this is very challenging because we are sending these scripts back and forth. How do you match?
Is that enough match? You know that when we do this, everyone has viewed their roles and hopes to ensure that we are fair for other characters. Yes, I think this is the most difficult part to ensure that it is its world.
This is not only the world of MED or the world of Fire.
Have you ever been surprised to see how others do your role?
Yes.
What are the examples?
I am trying to consider a good example of this episode. You know that Severide is indeed pushed to the edge of emotion. For a moment, he almost lost it, and he was not particularly helpful at present. This is not one of the main actors.
Herrmann, I don’t remember which script it is, if it is PD or Med, but in this version, Herrmann is a bit like “Call DOWN, Severide” in the first version.
I thought at the time, no, no, no, Herman would not say calm. He would say, “I will kick your ass with you.” You know, this is what he wants to say, not “calm down and shrink the guy.”
This is “Kidd is also my family. We will bring you together.” Therefore, this has aroused these small characters: “Okay, how do he respond to other children, especially when it is a brand new character “” “
Therefore, we pay attention to each other. Indeed, this is an interesting part.
OK As I said, we have all watched the trailer. The trailer said that the three cards will affect the remaining time throughout the season. How can you laugh at people how to influence people’s favorite characters without giving anything in the rest of this season?
I think it’s just something alone.
Similarly, Herman thought, because he was at the point of leadership and ladder decision -making, instead of staying.
Is he the kind of leaders who can do what Pascal and Boden have done in the past? Or the person he wanted to run, was the boot of the ground firefighter?
What is his leading style and how does he deal with this crisis? Then, you have something similar to Severide-Kidd, they are talking about a family, and now they are torn. How can this make them see?
You know, what should I do if I did not get that day the next day? What if you stop saying that? Therefore, this will be heated on all these relationships.
I dare to be sure, Mouch and Trudy. Mouch was consumed because of the rise and taking the exam, maybe not as careful as he should. How to point out the importance of the first place in your life? Are you OK?
Well, that’s the end of our time. But I really want to say that I really like Dom Pascal. I think he is a great role.
I was a little scared that Herman might step up hard work and wanted to be the chief, because I was not ready to let him go.
This is the whole thing. They couldn’t sit on that seat at the end of the season. This is interesting-a bit two train. Will they collapse or run side by side? How does this work?
Thank you for saying that. We like Dom Pascal and Dermot.
