Chapter 330: Touching the Whole of Britain (Four More Requests for Subscription)
With the cold north wind howling outside the window and the warmth inside the house, life in London is not as perfect as it seems.
Andrew sat on the single-seater, with a bottle of beer in his left hand and a bowl of nachos on his right, and now he had his TV channel locked on the BBC, waiting for eight o'clock sharp.
Andrew, an older otaku, gave up his playtime, took a sip of beer and muttered, "I hope I don't disappoint me too much this time." ”
Over the years, when Sherlock Holmes is mentioned, Andrew's first thought is of a serious detective with a smoking bottle and a hat, and the legendary figure has always come across as cold, unforgiving, and even impersonal.
Not to mention, Andrew has watched many Sherlock Holmes movies and TV series, but no one seems to dare to challenge this role in recent years!
With eight o'clock to go, Andrew, who was a little bored by the public service announcement, turned on his phone and googled the cast of the movie.
"It's strange, where did these actors come from?
Paul McQueen, who plays Sherlock, doesn't look very popular, and seems to have a bit of perverted potential in appearance, Andrew thinks this person is a little suitable for playing Moriarty, which is a bit weird.
Watson is a big supporting actor, and the actor named Steven Moffatt once starred in the hit TV series "Office Laughing Clouds".
Andrew met Steven because of his other film, Arthur Dent, the protagonist of Otaku's favorite "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", who is the only two earthlings who survived the Great Demolition of the Galaxy.
With such a familiar face and acting skills as a supporting role, Andrew was a little relieved.
As the music began to play on the television, millions of Britons began to pay attention to the new production.
"Hey, this piece is kind of interesting!"
Andrew exclaimed, he saw the familiar buildings in Britain at the beginning of the film, and also saw the various actors, and the familiar streets of London were guarded by detectives from then on.
At the beginning of the TV series, the rumbling war scenes attracted every audience, and the cold bullets flew sideways, which made Andrew, who had not watched "Sherlock", quite puzzled.
It's obviously a detective TV series, how did it become a war movie?
Could this be a TV broadcast accident?
Fortunately, the audience's confusion did not last long, and the plot soon unfolded, which turned out to be the situation on the battlefield in Afghanistan in John Watson's dream!
In "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", Watson went to the battlefield, was shot in the shoulder, and was sent back to London by the government to recuperate because of the invasion of illness, and most of the entire detective collection is compiled in the form of Dr. Watson's diary.
In the TV series, Zhang Chu adapted Watson's illness into a very popular mental trauma in modern times, so the psychiatrist suggested that he release his inner pressure by writing a blog, so the diary in the original book became a blog normally.
British viewers who have seen Conan Doyle's work will naturally know that this blog will definitely have an important impact on the subsequent plot!
When Holmes first appeared, when Holmes and Watson first met in the laboratory, when they arrived in room 221B on Baker Street, many viewers actually felt like they were in tears.
They didn't have much hope for this TV series written and written by China, but they found themselves fascinated by this look!
Zhang Chu showed unimaginable sincerity, and the adaptation of Conan Doyle's original book can be described as superb, without the slightest sense of rigidity, and it is smooth to the extreme.
Almost every viewer has the same idea, if Sherlock Holmes really came to the modern day, it should be what it looks like in the TV series!
The classic texts from Conan to Eri are re-implanted into the modern era of the 21st century, making the protagonist younger and more fashionable, and retaining the essence of the original book without being obtrusive.
What's more, it inspires new life into traditional classics, and at the end of just one episode, Sherlock deserves all kinds of praise.
Of course, the excellent script is one aspect, and the production level of the TV series is very good, including special effects, photography, editing, soundtrack, costumes, and art are all top in the industry, which is enough to kill a large number of well-made TV series in seconds!
What surprised Andrew the most was that the filming perspective of the TV series was quite unique, and the traditional detective TV series used oral narration and screen playback methods when stating evidence.
But this time, he actually saw Sherlock's perspective from the TV, as well as Sherlock's analysis of the people he saw, and the corresponding positions on the screen were added with text.
For example, when the fingers are close-up, they will write neatly trimmed words on the side of their nails, and when they put their hands together, they will write the dominant right hand, and when they see others dressed in suits and leather shoes, there will be a hint of unarmed.
This expression makes things simple and straightforward, and gives Andrew the feeling of following Sherlock's train of thought!
This visual reasoning mode is simply wonderful for the audience, and the way of slow-motion close-ups and subtitles is a huge innovation compared to trivial lines to explain the reasoning process.
The feeling is unprecedented.
The adapted "Sherlock" is not completely detached from the original book, but it is combined with the background of the 21st century on the basis of the original book, and those who are familiar with the original book know very well which case it corresponds to when they see this episode.
The murderer in the original book was a coachman, and after the adaptation, he became a taxi driver, but the background of the case and the reason for the crime are very different and even more complicated.
Set up as a serial murder case, the driver is also portrayed as a hitman who hunts recklessly in the metropolis, catering to the needs of a modern audience.
Time passed little by little, the murder scenes that everyone liked to see and the ways to solve the cases appeared one after another, and the prejudices in Andrew's heart had long been thrown out of the clouds, and Zhang Chu's adaptation of the study of blood characters blinded his eyes!
After the story unfolded, I found that the details that had been precipitated in my heart emerged with the picture in front of me, which is not an imitation of the complete Sherlock Holmes detective episodes at all, but a tribute to the original with excellent innovation!
When the ending song sounds, Andrew vaguely wakes up from a vast and flamboyant dream, and this is when he really remembers standing ovation and cheering loudly in the empty room.
"I think I need to check this out!"
The same thought came to the minds of countless Britons.
