"Come on, Fred, don't be so sour, do you still hate me for stealing your role as King Lear when I first entered the drama school? That was for Professor Peter. Simon Terry took out a handkerchief and wiped the rain from his bald head, and sat down beside him unceremoniously:

"I came today, I don't mean anything else, I'm afraid that you two old people will be too excited to see the broadcast of "Detective Sherlock", in case of myocardial infarction, no one will find you an ambulance."

"Ha~~~ Then you should find a young man, otherwise maybe I will call an ambulance for you." Fred said without showing weakness.

"Okay~~ You two old alumni, don't look like children." Charlie smiled and poured Simon Terry a cup of coffee.

"Honestly, Fred, don't worry if you really fail this time." Simon Terry took a sip of his coffee and said, "Even if the board of directors is subsumed into our film association, I will maintain your artistic purity, I only hope that you can honestly admit defeat, don't carry it to death, and make everyone uncomfortable." ”

"You want to keep us artistic? Even if you want to keep it, do you think those Americans will say yes? Fred gave Simon Terry a cold look.

"......" Simon Terry was stunned for a moment, then looked at his alumni and sworn enemy, sighed softly, and said:

"Fred, you still think you are noble, in fact, everything I do is what you are doing now, as long as our British landslide works can make money, one day, we can decide our own direction, now we can't live in the past when theater art was dominant, otherwise we will be eliminated by society sooner or later, and then Americans will be able to master our theater culture without making a splash."

"Okay, you guys don't fight, it's time to start~~~" Charlie suddenly interrupted them, picked up the remote control and turned up the volume on the TV.

Finally, "Sherlock" is about to begin, Fred, Charlie, Simon Terry, three pairs of gray and yellow eyes, staring at the TV screen in unison.

The first scene is a series of shaky war shots, all three of them frown in unison, a little dazzled, and on the TV screen, Martin Freeman wakes up from a nightmare, gasping for air with horror on his face...... He lay back on the bed and closed his eyes in pain, but when he heard the barking of a dog outside the window, he did not feel sleepy, and he put his hand on his forehead helplessly, and struggled to fall asleep on the bed......

Melancholy and oppressive music played, and the next shot Martin was already sitting on the bed in the dark, looking at the wall, not knowing what he was thinking, but when his eyes swept over the metal cane, he pinched his right leg and took a deep breath, with an expression of remorse and fear on his face...... Several scattered shots are switched, all of which are shots of Watson alone at night, unable to sleep......

He turned on the computer and looked at his blog, but he couldn't type a word......

"John, you're a soldier, and it will take you a while to adjust to normal life, and it will help you a lot to write about everything you have experienced in your blog."

"I don't have anything to do with it."

When Watson in the camera said this sad line with a frozen look, Simon Terry was stunned...... Somewhere in his heart was touched by this Watson.

Martin Freeman's detached and restrained eyes, and his small movements that want to speak and stop, contain the shyness and stubbornness of a teenager, but in the silence, he shows a mature temperament of confusion and despair...... In just one minute of performance, people fully understood the current situation of his leg injury and psychological scars that had not healed after coming down from the war zone, and the sense of isolation and loneliness from the bottom of his heart exuded with great precision in every expression......

No matter how many people cared about him, no one understood his pain at all, no one understood Watson, and deep down he was a lonely man...... There is such a nostalgic and sad poetic atmosphere in the picture......

Every man will have such a moment, carrying everything alone, in the midst of depression and distress, waking up one night, but suddenly feeling that he has nothing to do with the world, even if there are relatives, colleagues, classmates, but no one understands him, no one can share his joys and sorrows, and he is alone in this world......

"What's the origin of this Martin Freeman?" Simon Terry turned his head in surprise and asked Fred and Charlie how expressive it was to create a story atmosphere in such a short one-man show, but after asking, he found that Fred and the two were staring nervously at the screen and didn't hear him say anything.

Simon Terry could only hold back his doubts and continue to stare at the picture, and as he knew, the plot of the case began to appear, and the story took place entirely in modern London, where some people committed suicide in an inexplicable way......

How to say it, these few points, this series is really good overall, especially this Martin Freeman perfectly transplanted the romantic and poetic elegance of the original Sherlock Holmes into the modern version, and did not make everyone feel that this adaptation has any abrupt feeling, but this level is amazing, but it is still a little reluctant to say that it surpasses the original or something......

Although this Watson is surprisingly good, it seems to be completely different from the impression of Watson who is gentle, elegant, and reliable, and more like a melancholy little man with a fragile heart...... Will such a Watson audience like it?

But just when Simon Terry felt that Watson's style was a little deviant from the original book, suddenly the camera opened with the zipper of the body bag in the dark, and a strange long face appeared in the close-up of the camera, which startled Simon Terry, this new Sherlock Holmes looks really strange......

Simon Terry was about to laugh at Fred when he suddenly heard the long-faced man in the camera ask, "How fresh?" ”

The deep voice seemed to be asking him in his ear, and Simon Terry immediately felt a little creepy, and asked how fresh was the corpse? This is a strange question......

And before Simon Terry could finish his surprise, something even more unspeakable happened, and Holmes smiled and said to his assistant: "Let's start whipping." Then in a burst of cheerful and beautiful music, the most legendary detective in the hearts of all in the world, took up the whip and whipped it on the cold corpse......

This scene was broadcast on the BBC, and the audience across the UK who saw this scene opened their mouths wide, and the parents hurriedly covered the eyes of the children around them~~ What's going on!? How did that legendary detective Sherlock Holmes become a corpse torturer!?

Simon Terry couldn't help but have the same thought in his heart as the rest of the audience, a freak, it's just a freak~! Of course, he knew that this was deliberately designed by Li Xiaole to show that Sherlock Holmes was different from ordinary people, and he wanted to test some signs of this corpse with whip marks.

But this flamboyant and neurotic new version of Sherlock Holmes, a young man who admires individuality, may like it, but for a traditional adult Englishman like him, Benedict Cumberbatch feels too flamboyant and mean...... It's even a little tiresome.

Simon Terry also quickly judged in his mind that although the design of these two characters has distinct personalities, too much emphasis on personality has also led to major flaws, one is too quiet, the other is too public, and both give people a very weird feeling.

"Such two good actors, let the director spoil it...... It's all grandstanding...... What is the difference between this Li Xiaole and those American directors you despise? Simon Terry turned his head to look at Fred and sneered, but to his surprise, Fred did not show any angry expression, but was silent and did not speak, just held Charlie's hand tightly next to him, and continued to stare at the development of the plot.

Without being squeezed by others, the two of them were already nervous and couldn't say anything.

The British have always been conservative, and they have always been conscientious in restoring the original works in the treatment of their own classic treasures, and countless BBC literary classic adaptations have been online all over the world for batches of British drama fans, and even the movies "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" are strictly in accordance with the original novels, and they dare not make any changes.

Subverting tradition has always been something that thrill-loving Americans are good at.

And this time, the most traditional drama council filmed this subversive "Sherlock", and the invisible pressure in Fred and Charlie's hearts is so great that outsiders can't imagine it.

An overly gloomy and fragile young Watson who has stepped back from the battlefield, and a sherlock Holmes with curly hair, an overcoat and a scarf, and a weird, neurotic demeanor...... All this is unreasonable, will the audience accept it? No one knows, at least Fred himself feels a little weird when he looks at it......

In a bar on Baker Street by the River Thames, more than 200 members of the Sherlock Holmes Club chartered the entire bar, watching the live broadcast of "Sherlock" as if they were watching football on the weekend, they drank beer, saw the LCD TV screen on the wall, and couldn't help but scold:

"Damn~! Where did you find this sissy Watson~! ""Sherlock Holmes is not like this~~ This Chinese director is just nonsense~" "Does he think he is making horror movies?" ”

And just when all the audience was holding this idea, the weird Watson and Sherlock Holmes appeared in the same shot, and suddenly everyone felt a subtle change in the atmosphere, and the first collision of the two wonderful characters made the feeling of disharmony and abruptness suddenly disappear...... No...... Not only that, but they also produced an indescribable chemistry......
