"So you've got Yerong done?"

Huayu Company Headquarters Building, Li Haitao's office, Chen Feng once again occupied the magpie's nest and sat in Li Haitao's position unceremoniously, and Li Haitao could only helplessly do it opposite him.

"Be careful with your words, I'm just asking her out for coffee and catching up."

Chen Feng stretched out a finger and shook it, correcting Li Haitao's statement.

"You're in the newspaper for chatting and talking, do you think it's normal?"

Li Haitao was not angry enough to throw Chen Feng a copy of yesterday's newspaper, on which he and Yerong chatted and drank coffee were all secretly photographed by the paparazzi. Chen Feng is a hot male star in the entertainment industry, coupled with a new generation of sexy goddess Ye Rong, although the two really didn't do anything together, as long as the paparazzi "imagined" a little, a fragrant peach news was born.

Chen Feng didn't even bother to look at the newspaper, "I'm just shopping in the supermarket now, as long as I talk to the saleswoman a little more, I can make up a lot of stories when I am bumped into by those paparazzi, not to mention having coffee with Rong Rong." ”

Chen Feng said that Li Haitao had already believed seven points, don't look at Chen Feng's usual scandals, but the situation that really allowed the media to get real evidence has almost never happened, and the reports on his private life in newspapers and magazines are all based on speculation and conjecture. Chen Feng has always been very cautious on this issue, if he really has an abnormal relationship with Ye Rong, it is estimated that the whereabouts of the two will not be discovered by the media so easily.

"Then let's talk about the script." Li Haitao did not continue to dwell on this topic, "Why did you suddenly think of writing such a story?" ”

Chen Feng shrugged. "Isn't this kind of movie that blends detective, thriller and conspiracy theory very popular now? If it has something to do with religion, audiences should be willing to spend money to go to the cinema, and "Code" is a good example. ”

"But why Holmes?" Li Haitao asked: "These days, unless you are a 'super fan' of traditional detective novels, you can't bear to release the volume of "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", right?" Maybe you have a thick set on your bookshelf, but can you dare to say that it's bigger than a piece of wallpaper? ”

Chen Feng didn't immediately refute it, although the character of Sherlock Holmes embodied the talent of penetrating the appearance of things with insight. And the otherworldly ability to dig out the truth from the trickery that can easily make people confused has a fascinating charm that transcends the ages. But one thing is clear: Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character who began to appear in a series of stories and novels created by the British writer Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 19th century. The talented detective soon became one of the most enduring figures in pop culture, and his adventures became one of the most widely read sacred chapters in English-language history.

But times have changed. Pipes, canes, top hats, murders, reasoning, catching culprits... The 19th century set of "original detectives" cannot be said to be dead and stiff now, but they are really a little sour and rotten. It's not an exaggeration to put it on the shelf.

After carefully and thoroughly studying the 4 novels and 56 independent short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, Chen Feng felt more and more that the story of Sherlock Holmes must have new changes today, so he thought of the fashionable reason of "crossing", a meticulous brain many years ago, whether it can still be invincible in the face of the ever-changing technological means and the endless high-IQ criminal methods, this is the profound proposition that Chen Feng wants to explore in this film.

In fact, such an idea is not the first of Lin Chenfeng's creation, if the deliberate subversion in his film is more suitable for the audiovisual language of commercial blockbusters in the new era for the requirements of large scenes and action, as well as the audience's desire for ambiguity and excitement in the commercial psychological appeal, then the classic "detective" image of various periods and countries with "Sherlock Holmes" as the ancestor has never stopped changing with the times. …,

In the middle of the century, the writers of the United States put him to death, and then mutated into a lonely tough guy who was drunk and dreamed of death. The reasoning of the island country in the "last century" "big names" turned it into a variety of "weirdos" from Conan, who was not very old, to Ren Saburo, an old man who had no seriousness at all.

Perhaps the audience has been "tired" of these changes that keep pace with the times, so Chen Feng has restored a traditional Sherlock Holmes on the basis of boldly breaking through the limitations of the original era.

Sherlock Holmes may be the first superhero in cultural history, in today's fashionable parlance, but he won with intelligence. Even to this day. He remains the world's most recognized icon, even to the point where many believe that Sherlock Holmes is not fictional, but real. ”

Chen Feng patiently explained: "The more you read Conan Doyle's novels, the more you will discover how rich resources Holmes contains, he is very proficient in many skills, can play the violin, kung fu, and boxing. At the same time, he is also a professional martial arts master and sword expert. Sherlock Holmes has a strong sense of morality when it comes to justice and bringing bad actors to justice, so he spends almost his whole life trying to be a good detective. Although the predecessors have done a good job of expressing this role, if you put it in a different era background, I think there is indeed a lot to be found in Sherlock Holmes. ”

From Li Haitao's wrinkled brows, you can see his current contradictory heart, it is really too difficult for a classic character like Sherlock Holmes to create a classic again, because the British drama "Sherlock Holmes" series in the 80s has already shaped this character very well, and future generations want to surpass it, at least in terms of actors, there is really no one like Jeremy Brett with a face and acting skills.

Moreover, Sherlock Holmes's detective story is basically well-known, and it is not easy for such an old-fashioned script to seriously restore the style, and it has to be compared with the previous work, especially the British drama "Sherlock Holmes" series, which attracts more topics than just the quality and effect of the film. Therefore, whether it is the story or the characters, it is difficult to start from any angle.

It's not that Li Haitao doesn't trust Chen Feng, but it's a difficult job to remake a classic, and it's not easy to restore the original appearance of the classic, and it has to go through the audience's pointing or changing opinions after watching it, and then the sequel to be considered will be put into production and it will depend on the discussion of many parties to know. It can be seen from this that it is indeed not easy to remake classics, and it is even more difficult to subvert classics. It is even more difficult to make it look good, and it can also make everyone re-accept this classic, elegant and vulgar, and make a reborn effect. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
