On Saturday, the Sherlock cast press conference was held at the Royal National Opera House in South London, a Victorian opera house that had been set up with props from the early days of the Industrial Revolution, from steam locomotives to brass pocket watches and single-barreled firearms.

Whether it is the media, movie fans, or celebrities from all walks of life, they will be distributed to a booklet of "Modern Deduction Method" when they enter the venue, which explains the various knowledge of "Modern Deduction Method" and teaches people how to judge a person's background and behavior pattern through various small details.

Not only did the drama take place from dozens of international media, but also celebrities from all walks of life, including Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, Liverpool star Steven Gerrard, Minister of Parliament for Culture, Ed Watts, and even old-school movie star Sean Connery...... The media interviewed these celebrities from all walks of life in all corners of the city.

As soon as Simon Terry, the old president of the Royal Film Society, and his American partner Fat Weinstein came in, they noticed Fred shaking hands with celebrities from all walks of life.

"Why are so many people here? This old guy is so face-saving? Weinstein looked at it and frowned and muttered.

"Mr. Wayne, be careful with your wording." Simon Terry's old face was a little displeased, and he frowned and reminded in a deep voice: "The Fred family is a hereditary earl, although the hereditary title of nobility has been abolished by the council nine years ago, but he is still a real earl, in the queen's land, no one can call him an old fellow." ”

"Oh~~~ I'm sorry" Weinstein pursed his mouth disapprenously, at this time the waiter handed over a "modern deduction" instruction booklet, Weinstein took a look at it, threw the booklet on the ground, and shouted impatiently at the waiter: "Hey, boy, who told you to stuff this garbage into my hand~?" ”

Simon Terry looked at his vulgar American partner with disgust, squatted down and picked up the "modern deduction" booklet, touched the texture of the paper, and then looked at the delicate printing like a Bible cover, and naturally turned to the last page, and saw the name of the designer Li Xiaole, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart...... The details are full of feelings, and the talent of this Chinese director is really admirable...... Fred was really lucky......

Turning his head to look at Weinstein, who was still angry, Simon Terry couldn't help but sigh, why is his partner not this Li Xiaole, who is full of artistic cells, but this vulgar and gangster, American fat man full of copper smell......

At this time, nearly 500 people had been crowded into the luxurious and elegant theater, but everyone was in order, Li Xiaole stood on the stage and deliberately wore a navy blue suit, his figure was thin and straight, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, he was full of spirit, and his expression was calm and calm. That demeanor did not make people suspect that he was the master of this meeting.

Backstage, Emma Watson is wearing a white suit and delicate light makeup, and her elegant face has not taken off the bright breath of a girl, but it is also unusually bright and moving. She was still a little nervous in her heart, poking her head out of the darkness and peeking curiously at the lively scene.

After Charlie announced the start of the press conference, Li Xiaole walked onto the rostrum covered with a red carpet, looked at the British media and celebrities from all walks of life in the audience, and thought to himself: It is finally time for me, the British public enemy, to take the stage.

picked up the microphone, swallowed a mouthful of saliva gently, and calmly looked down at the people sitting in the theater, so that everyone in the meeting felt his confidence and calmness:

"Friends from the media, distinguished guests, hello everyone, I am Li Xiaole of Black Pearl Company, I feel very honored to be able to invite all friends to participate in the cast meeting of "Sherlock" today, thank you, and now please let me introduce to you the real protagonists tonight......"

When Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman, Heath Ledger, and Emma Watson walked out of the backstage wearing the make-up costumes from the show, the flashes under the stage immediately joined together, and in the sound of "pop~pop~", all the cameras were focused on these four actors.

The audience also exclaimed: "It's Emma Watson in "Harry Potter"~~~ That's Heath Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain"~~~" "Oh my God, how can he be such a young actor~? ”

"Heath Ledger plays Sherlock Holmes~!? Oh my God~~He's Australian~! ”

"Is that a costume? I'm not mistaken~~ The way those suits are breasted is all modern......"

"How are they wearing Bedaffer trench coats, Rick Taylor suits? Wait, what's that tall actor holding in his hand? Is he answering the phone on stage? ”

Li Xiaole listened to the conservative Britons below, exclaimed and discussed in bursts, and calmly said with the microphone:

"Let me introduce to you, the production background of this "Sherlock", as you have in your hand the manual of "modern deduction method", this detective story I based him on this reasoning principle, and this reasoning method will only work if we master the premise of big data, so we moved the story of Sherlock Holmes to London in the 21st century, and the weapon of this legendary detective is not only his clever brain, but also a master of using network data."

Listening below, there are groups of chatter, and exclamations, and many more people with confused faces, what? Sherlock Holmes in the modern world? What's going on~!?

"I know you may not understand what 'modern deduction' is, so I have set up a website dedicated to this theoretical knowledge and practical case, and from today onwards, he will be the exclusive website of Sherlock Holmes himself, and the questions you ask on the website, as well as the related curiosities in the plot, will be answered by Sherlock Holmes himself." Li Xiaole snapped his fingers, and two rows of URLs appeared on the big screen behind him:

"You can see that the first URL is the website I just mentioned, and the second is a blog site, which is Mr. Watson's exclusive blog, and from now on, you can visit this blog on your mobile phone or computer to communicate directly with Mr. Watson."

Many British young people in the theater couldn't help but sigh to their friends next to them when they heard the news: "This idea is so cool~~ How did he come up with it~~" "Write it down~~ I want to be the first person to communicate with Mr. Watson." "Stupid, there is a barcode on the back of that booklet, just scan it directly~!"

The media reporters below were all shocked and dissatisfied, and discussed with each other: "It seems that Li Xiaole changed Sherlock Holmes to the 21st century for the purpose of promoting the iPhone...... This trick is simply outrageous. "It seems that he doesn't have to worry about investing at all, and Jobs must have given him a lot of advertising money......"

Li Xiaole calmly looked at the shocked people below and began to introduce the actors one by one.

"Now I would like to introduce you to the main cast of our Sherlock, Emma Watson as Erin Adler, Martin Freeman as John Watson, Heath Ledger as Jim Moriarty......"

Every time Li Xiaole recited a name, the spotlight shone on whose face, and when it was announced that Emma Watson played Erin Adler, everyone was stunned, and when it was announced that Heath Ledger played Moriarty, everyone was stunned...... How? Not the Oscar-nominated actor who starred in Sherlock Holmes? At this point, all the reporters' eyes turned to Benedict Cumberbatch's somewhat strange long face.

"And our Sherlock Holmes, will be played by Benedict Cumberbatch." After a long pause, Li Xiaole announced the most important actor.

This tall, thin, not handsome young man with curly hair...... Is he going to play Sherlock Holmes?

Almost everyone in the audience was stunned, and many people thought they had heard it wrong, but Benedict Cumberbatch took the microphone, confidently and calmly faced the people below, and said in an almost provocative tone: "Hello everyone, I am Benedict Cumberbatch, in "Sherlock", I play Sherlock Holmes. ”

Everyone's minds suddenly fell into a strange chaos, the modern version of Sherlock Holmes, the handsome Oscar-level actor who plays the villain, this unknown actor with a sales, curly hair, and a strange long face plays the protagonist Sherlock Holmes? After sorting out the logic of all this, the reporters below all started to talk about it.

"Even if Li Xiaole wants to make a modern version of Sherlock Holmes, why did Li Xiaole invite an actor of Heath Ledger's level, but let this Cumberbatch play the leading role!? It's simply incomprehensible. ”

"Looks weird, doesn't it? The sharp-beaked monkey cheeks look like a villain, can he play Sherlock Holmes like this? He should play Moriarty......"

"I don't think this guy looks as good as me...... He can be the leading actor, I really don't know what kind of vision this Chinese kid has. ”

Even Simon Terry, who originally admired Li Xiaole, began to frown and muttered softly: "What ...... is he doing", and Weinstein, the American producer next to him, couldn't hold back his laughter and said: "Haha, this Chinese is so interesting......"
