Chapter 576: Trailer
Along with rhythmic music, the letters on the big screen are displayed: "What is the role of a detective?"
Following the continuous switching of cameras, different people describe their requirements to the camera.
"My cat is gone. The little girl said.
"I can't remember where I lost my diamond earrings," said the young woman.
"I want to know where my wife has gone after work. The middle-aged man said.
"I hate a future like this. The camera then turns to the male protagonist, the shawl, pipe, deer hunting hat, and British style, and it is almost needless to guess who he is.
And with this sentence, the camera came to the outdoors, and all kinds of scenes about the future were displayed in front of people one by one. Smaller phones, lighter headphones and aloud, laptops, ubiquitous outdoor displays, and more.
Then there is another quick cut, explaining the identity of the actor and some basic information.
"Name?"
"Sherlock Holmes. ”
"Nationality. ”
"British. ”
"Address. ”
"221B Baker Street, London. ”
"It's a pity that there is no such individual in the UK. ”
"That was in 1891, of course. ”
"Joking won't do you any good, sir!"
In just a few seconds, the trailer makes it clear that Sherlock Holmes fell from the boat, and it was New York again, and it was 2015.
Then, with the police's words like "under the '05 amendment, you can stay in New York temporarily", Holmes in the shot moves into an apartment and meets new friends.
"I'm JoAnn Watson. The young woman said in a friendly voice.
"Just came back from the battlefield?" Holmes, with his pipe, raised an eyebrow, then turned to the camera to lower his voice, "I didn't know you were still a girl, Watson." ”
Undoubtedly, this elicited laughter, but soon the audience's attention was drawn back to the subtitles that appeared: times have changed, and some things have changed.
"The wet marks on the corners of his clothes are obvious......"
"Driver, Mr. Antique, we have the equipment and skills to detect. ”
DNA testing, crime scene investigation teams, various instruments and equipment, the appearance of the horses, and finally the somewhat lonely back of Sherlock Holmes.
Once again, the huge subtitles are revealed: however, some things have not changed.
For example, the human heart - the kind-hearted Chinese landlady was killed.
For example, human nature - the police deduced that it was a robbery and murder.
For example, Justice-Sherlock Holmes pulled back the curtains, and the walls were densely nailed with lines connecting various reports of events and related characters.
"People rely too much on machine judgment, Watson. ”
"But the machine is more sophisticated, and you can't go wrong. ”
"Logic, logic is the most powerful tool of human beings, and many things seem to be illogical, but you don't find the connection. ”
As Holmes and Watson speak, the scene switches, as they chase in the streets, run in the alleys, and dodge bullets in abandoned construction sites.
Eventually, standing at the junction of light and darkness, Holmes lit his pipe and uttered the most famous phrase: "Eliminate all elements of the impossible, and even if it is no longer possible, that is the truth, don't you think?"
Then, the words "Sherlock Holmes in 2015" officially appeared on the big screen, and then slowly went dark.
But that's not all, a few seconds later, the screen lights up again, Holmes and Watson are sitting in the car, Holmes swears from the driver's seat: "I know how to start him, here's the throttle, here's the clutch......"
Watson smiled slightly, pressed it directly on the bridge, and said in a standard London accent: "Start the engine." ”
A small screen immediately lit up, and then the car also roared, and Holmes, who was watching all this, shrugged helplessly: "Okay." ”
The laughter rang out again, so much so that the trailer was completely over, and the feature film was about to begin, and many viewers had not yet tasted it.
"What kind of movie was that, it seems pretty good. ”
"The title came out later, what's it called...... Sherlock Holmes in 2015?
"Yes, called Sherlock Holmes in 2015, but...... This 2015 refers to 2015?
"It seems to be, but it doesn't feel like a science fiction movie. ”
"But there were a lot of ...... in there. Hell, the movie has begun!"
Similar conversations are played out in many movie theaters across the United States, and because it is a pre-screening, many people miss the opening credits of the movie.
But although they were depressed, they relished the trailer of the film, after all, there are so many wonderful things that are shown, and the editing is also very good, very attractive.
Although there are many themes that travel through time and space, whether it is "Back to the Future" or "Seventy Years Back in Time", they are good works, and earlier, Mark Twain's "Connecticut Americans in Arthur's Court" is also very interesting.
But most of them are from the present to the past, and there are very few works that travel to the future, let alone the people of the past who travel to the future. Even if there is, it is always full of all kinds of bizarre fantasies, and even most sci-fi films that show the future are like this, such as "Blade Runner" that served on the street to grandma's house, and rarely "Sherlock Holmes in 2015" is so life-like, so fully showing the bright and clean social environment of the future.
So much so that the latest issue of "Variety" deliberately mentioned it in half a page: "James Cameron gave the audience a gloomy future, and gave the audience a future full of fresh temperament, he placed Sherlock Holmes in the 19th century in New York in the 21st century, and led to a detective story, which shows a lot of fantasies about the near future, it can be seen that he is a very thoughtful director, I hope this movie can surprise people like "The Terminator". ”
In short, the North American film market in September was made a small wave by "Sherlock Holmes in 2015", and many people are discussing the fun of the film's trailer.
"During this time, everybody was asking me, hey, George, what the hell did that Sherlock Holmes in 2015 say, what were the props in that Sherlock Holmes 2015...... Hell, I signed a non-disclosure agreement, and if I just said that, some people would kill me. Lucas said in an exaggerated tone, and when he said "someone", his eyes looked at Li Xu unabashedly.
"It's okay, it's almost done in the later stage, and it doesn't matter if you want spoilers. Li Xu responded with a smile and looked at Cameron again, "yes, Jamie." ”
"Hmm...... There's still a little bit of hand-to-hand work, but it's basically fine, and it can be done by the middle of the month at the latest," Cameron said, then looked at Spielberg, "Of course, if Steven doesn't have any other opinions." ”
"Of course I didn't," Spielberg immediately exclaimed, "I just said it in passing, and then Eddie wanted to play for it, and it had nothing to do with me." ”
After a pause, he smiled and said, "If you need help with something other than production, I can find a way." ”
"That's not necessary," Li Xu waved his hand, "Anyway, Jamie, I'll discuss with Paramount and try to arrange the current period around Thanksgiving?"
