Jessica Blair is an ordinary student at King's College London, and her hobby is not to wear makeup and go clubbing, but to read a book all day long in an off-campus bookstore.

After all, the main campus of King's College is strange, and there is no bookstore on campus, so you have to walk ten minutes from the school to get there.

As a Sherlock Holmes fan for many years, Jessica learned about the candid shooting news as soon as possible, and paid attention all the way, until now the BBC has released a trailer, but she doesn't dare to watch it!

At the beginning, she and many people doubted whether a Chinese could grasp the essence of Sherlock Holmes, so she went to the bookstore to buy the work of "Sherlock".

After reading the whole book, Jessica was relieved about the plot, but in a blink of an eye, she began to worry about the BBC's filming ability.

The BBC is a public body that is financed mainly by the licensing fees paid by British nationals, who have already paid for any programmes, dramas and other productions produced by the broadcasters.

According to the year-end financial report released by the BBC some time ago, they only paid 6 million pounds for the production of "Sherlock", and the most of them was Zhang Chu, a writer and screenwriter!

Can this money be used to shoot a good TV series?

In the United States, a slightly well-made TV series costs tens of millions of dollars per episode!

"Hey Jesse, have you seen the trailer for Sherlock on YouTube?" a deep male voice rang out.

Jessica turned her head and saw her friend Rusic standing by the door of the bookstore, a handsome British guy wearing a coat, scarf and hat dressed very retro.

"Jesus is on top, you scared me!" Jessica smiled, "I've finished watching the trailer, and I'm going to be in my dorm tonight with the TV." What about you?"

Rusic is also a book lover, but not only in the detective field, but with a gentlemanly demeanor, he pushed the door open and replied in a low voice: "Of course, I would like to see how the modern version of Sherlock Holmes is." ”

"Guys, I don't want to see the Great Detective the next victim. ”

Roger, who had been waiting in his seat for a long time, shook his head and said in a sullen voice.

Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes is deeply ingrained in Roger's heart, and the level of various remakes and adaptations of TV series in recent years is desperate, and he has no interest in the BBC.

Jessica took off her coat and put it aside, relieved, "Roger, you really should watch the trailer, the contemporary Sherlock Holmes looks very tasteful." ”

"The story that happened in the 19th century has been transplanted into our 21st century, and the elitist detective who once wore a trench coat and smoked a pipe with a MacBook and an iPhone legend in the streets of modern London is more worried because I watched the trailer!"

Roger sighed again, transplanting is easy to say, but it is not something that can be solved by changing clothes and equipment.

As long as the characters and stories of the nineteenth century are translated, even if they are filmed close to the original book, they will be incompatible with modern life, and Roger is not willing to destroy the perfect image of Sherlock Holmes in his mind!

Rusic didn't know what to say, "Maybe we should trust the BBC's ability, they always bring good TV series. ”

"He gave all the money we paid to foreigners, and if we could have more money for filming and production, that would be reassuring to us. ”

Roger's point of view almost represents the thinking of a considerable part of the British people, as a detective drama actually does not cost much, except for a small amount of special effects technology is the salary of the actors.

But now several of the main actors in Shenxia are not the popular kind, there is never a shortage of good actors in the UK, and Hollywood is about to be occupied by the British gang!

Now that "Sherlock" has released only stills and the only trailer, the BBC is the British giant TV station, and it is not worried about whether there are ratings at all.

The TV station is concerned about whether it can export this series to overseas regions to make money, and there is a basic market in my hometown, which cannot be too low.

On Youtube, the trailer for "Sherlock" received more than 20 million views, most of which came from the United Kingdom and China, and very few other countries!

After all, there are few people in the UK, and there are many other video websites in China that can be watched, so there is no need to use English websites, which is not too convenient to use.

It's not just YouTube, the BBC also posted this video on its official Instagram account, and the number of viewers below is even higher than YouTube!

There are quite a lot of comments on these social media and video sites, and everyone is waiting for tonight with anticipation and anxiety.

"I hope I don't ruin Sherlock, that's what I'm asking. ”

"Pray silently, if the shooting is too bad, I suggest that everyone complain about the BBC together"

"I'm quite optimistic, Sherlock is a very good film, the BBC quality control is just as strict, I really hope to meet Sherlock Holmes in modern times!"

"I don't know what to say, our international students from China are even organizing parties to watch this TV series together, it's really crazy!"

"I heard that the screenwriters and original books of this TV series are Chinese, they actually exist in Sherlock Holmes?"

Some of the British are quite arrogant, and they are still immersed in the afterglow of the empire on which the sun never sets, believing that the Chinese simply cannot write the essence of Sherlock Holmes.

But in China, which is eight time zones away from London, netizens have completely different evaluations!

Trailers can be published on every video site, and netizens can also upload them, so the circulation is quite wide.

The single trailer with the most comments on Weibo has been clicked by 12 million, and everyone is anxiously looking forward to the broadcast of "Sherlock" soon!

"It's supposed to be broadcast at 8 p.m. on the 1st in the UK, why do we have to wait until 9 a.m. on the 2nd to see it? ”

"Upstairs, it seems that we didn't delay too long, when they premiered, we were already at 4 o'clock in the morning on the 2nd, and it was about 5 o'clock after the broadcast. Tencent Video still has to do subtitles, four hours to get everything almost right, you can watch it when you get up in the morning, it's great!"

"The British works written by Zhang Chu have all been filmed, when will I be able to see "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" on TV! Even if it is not broadcast on TV, I am willing to watch it as a member. ”

"There are only three episodes of the TV series, which is worthy of being a miniseries, which is too short to watch at all. ”

"Is Zhang Chu going to write the second part of Shenxia now?"

"Sit and wait for the morning of the second day, the members are all in place, I hope Tencent Video will be on time and don't delay!"
