If it is a traditional literary film, or a detective movie with a relatively average cost, the reasoning scene does not require any special treatment.

Normal drama can be narrated and deciphered.

At most, all you need is a few simple clips, and you'll have no problem.

Golden age reasoning-changing films such as "Murder on the Nile" and "Murder on the Orient Express" did not have much innovation in this regard.

And most of the reasoning plots introduced by Charlotte in "Guillotte Valley" are handled in the same way.

But "Sherlock Holmes" can't do this-

First of all, this is a commercial blockbuster, and there must be enough time for action scenes and special effects big scenes.

This leads to the fact that the time for reasoning about the plot must be compressed as much as possible, and the time for the big scene cannot be too little for the sake of reasoning, and the result is that the audience will not be able to enjoy watching it.

But at the same time, it's another step for Holmes films.

- Reasoning is one of the cores of the plot, and it can't be without, and it can't be without highlights.

This creates a dilemma where you have to have both sides of the world.

Moreover, considering the audience's ability to understand, Charlotte also had to find a way to make most of the audience understand the reasoning plot in the movie, and at the same time find it very exciting.

Otherwise, it will either become high and low, and only a few people can understand it, which will affect the box office;

Or it will become too simple, dissatisfying audiences who come to the cinema in search of an intellectual challenge because of the name of Sherlock Holmes, and thus affect word-of-mouth;

– This is another dilemma.

Fortunately, Charlotte, who traveled from the future, has seen a lot of future detective movies and learned a lot of new methods.

He plans to use these new techniques, especially some of the fast-paced mystery plots used in Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman's version of Sherlock, while making them easy for the audience to understand, in his Sherlock Holmes.

These methods are sure to make the audience feel refreshed.

But the problem is that these methods all require post-editing and special effects.

This is one of the main reasons why Charlotte said that post-production will be more troublesome.

At the same time, because the reasoning process may require a large number of clips to be edited and combined, it is also necessary to shoot a large number of footage that look similar but differ in detail when shooting a movie.

- This is why photographer Addison Young found the filming of "Sherlock Holmes" particularly cumbersome.

"I see!"

Addison Young nodded.

After Charlotte's explanation, he finally understood the difficulty of this movie.

However, he then had another problem,

"According to what you say, isn't the plot of our movie complicated enough?"

As a core member of the crew, Mr. Cinematographer has naturally read the script.

Originally, he also thought that this script was very good, and the content of the case was born from the real Jack the Ripper incident, which is mysterious and bright, but not very complicated, which is more in line with the needs of commercial blockbusters.

But now, listening to Charlotte's words, he is a little worried that the case is not complicated enough.

Fortunately, Charlotte shook her head,

"Don't worry about that!"

He explains,

"Whether a mystery or the plot of a movie can attract the attention of readers and audiences, make them find it interesting, and have a sense of accomplishment after watching it, the focus is not whether the case is complex enough, but how to tell it!"

"How to tell it!?"

Now, not to mention Addison Young, who has been listening, even Charlize and Alexis, who are playing soy sauce, have also watched it, and the old gun and Robert Downey Jr., who were originally exchanging some shooting details on the side, are also interested.

And seeing that everyone was very interested, Charlotte, who was a good teacher, simply and generously said her theory -

"In the early days of the golden age of reasoning, reasoners did aim to increase the complexity of the case, but after developing to a certain extent, they slowly discovered that overly complex cases and modus operandi often seemed very unreal. ”

"After all, reality is full of all kinds of unexpected factors, if the modus operandi is too complicated, it is very difficult to achieve in reality, and any accident will lead to the bankruptcy of the modus operandi. ”

"This is the reason why the so-called perfect crime does not exist!"

Charlotte uttered a well-known criminological inference,

"What's more, there is nothing new under the sun, and after the reasoning has developed to a certain stage, it is becoming more and more difficult to introduce new modus operandi, so the development of reasoning has shifted to a more realistic path——"

"Misleading and deceptive!"

He shrugged his shoulders and continued,

"In fact, whether it is the case in most mystery stories or the unsolved cases in real life, the motive and modus operandi of the crime are not too complicated, but because of the narrator and perspective, we cannot see the whole process of the case from the standpoint of being a bystander. ”

"In reality, because of the vicissitudes of nature, the evidence will be obscured, and in the mystery story, the author will often mislead us with subtlety, which makes us fall into a fog and cannot solve the puzzle. ”

"So, how much a mystery puzzle challenges the viewer's intelligence, and how accomplished it is, depends primarily on the narrator's level of deception and misdirection—"

"Successful ones tend to be interesting to the viewer. ”

"Add to that the fact that some of the details were pretended to be inadvertently foreshadowed, and the viewer will have the idea of solving the puzzle - so it is, I didn't think of it for a long time, and the mystery story is successful. ”

"And now, I'm going to use a similar technique in Sherlock Holmes!"

Charlotte finally concluded.

Then he looked at the people,

"Any questions?"

“...... No problem. ”

Robert Downey Jr. weakly authentic,

"Sounds great, but it's not easy to achieve this effect, right?"

"Of course. ”

Charlotte nodded,

"That's why I said that the post-production of this film would be a lot of trouble! But if I didn't have too many problems, I could still do it to achieve the effect I wanted. But, Donnie, this is something that needs some of your cooperation. ”

"Me!?"

Donnie pointed to his nose.

"Yes. ”

Charlotte said with a smile,

In order to save the film time, and at the same time give the audience a feeling of "very powerful", you need to speak at a fast speed when dubbing. ”

"That's fine!"

Donnie readily agreed.

He didn't know how far Charlotte's "faster speech" would go......
