On the surface, the filming set of "Sherlock Holmes" is no different from the set of other movies -

is still filmed under the watchful eye of a group of behind-the-scenes personnel, and the set of the scene still has some false ingredients.

However, in Nicole's opinion, it feels completely different -

First of all, the set of the crew is very atmospheric, even if there are a lot of more props, but on the whole, it is very feeling.

At the very least, this "221B Baker Street" really feels like a Sherlock Holmes and Watson apartment in Nicole's opinion.

- Nicole went to the real Baker Street 221B, which was later built as the Sherlock Holmes Museum, and it didn't feel so obvious.

Secondly, it was very quiet during the shooting.

This line of quietness is not physical, but psychological.

In fact, during the filming of all films, as long as the director does not shout to stop, no one other than the actors who are filming are allowed to speak.

But not speaking doesn't mean they won't pay attention and think, which will have an impact after all.

Although one of the basic qualities of an actor is to be able to ignore this attention, or to perform as if no one is in front of everyone's attention, the atmosphere on the shooting scene cannot be like in the movie story.

However, the filming location of "Sherlock Holmes" was different -

During the shooting, Nicole felt that the nearby staff were not only sounding, but also seemed to be holding their breath and thoughts together.

At the beginning of the filming, everyone except the actors who were filming seemed to be thin as air.

Everyone was watching the show in silence as if that was what was really happening.

Even Nicole herself, while watching the shooting on the set, couldn't help but fall into it.

It's not because the actors' performances are realistic or anything.

- Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills are good, but Nicole doesn't think he has that strong appeal.

As for Jude Law?

Well, this Englishman is indeed very good-looking.

Although it may not be as good as Tom Cruise's heyday, it is not too far off.

Moreover, he and Tom are not the same type either-

Mr. Cruise, who is in the midst of a divorce battle with Nicole, is a very sunny beautiful man, while Jude Law has a bit of British melancholy and seems to be more suitable for lovers......

In short, in addition to her looks and temperament, Nicole Kidman doesn't think Jude Law's acting skills are so strong......

has nothing to do with the actors' performances, the entire set of "Sherlock Holmes" seems to have an aura that cannot be seen or touched, but is amazingly infectious, and everyone will unconsciously substitute into the story as long as they are in it.

In particular, director Charlotte Booth would occasionally tell the actors a play or simply read the script before filming, and with his infectious voice, Nicole would unconsciously immerse herself in the story of Sherlock Holmes and Watson.

"Is this the aura of the legendary great director?"

- Nicole, who couldn't figure it out, could only guess like this.

In fact, when working with legendary director Stanley Kubrick on "Eyes Wide Open", Nicole had a similar feeling.

However, that feeling was not as obvious as it is now, and only occasionally, if it was nothing.

Moreover, because the connotation of Kubrick's films has always been obscure, even if Nicole occasionally immerses herself in it, it is difficult to understand the meaning.

On the contrary, it made me feel bad and gloomy.

- She will completely fall out with her husband Tom Cruise during the filming of "Eyes Wide Open", in addition to the contradiction between the two is difficult to reconcile, the influence of the movie or Kubrick's aura is actually a factor.

Of course, before coming to the set of "Sherlock Holmes", Nicole had a very vague feeling about this.

After comparing it with Charlotte's aura, Nicole clearly felt this.

On the other hand, it is precisely because of working with Kubrick, especially Kubrick, who has explored a very deep field in the field of directing before his death, that Nicole can realize that there is an aura of director Sherlock on the set.

Other actors, even Robert Downey Jr. or even Jodie Foster, most of them just feel that under Charlotte's guidance, their acting skills will be 200% played.

- But they don't realize the reason.

It's not a question of the level and ability of acting, it's just that I haven't seen it-

After all, apart from Charlotte and Stanley Kubrick in her later years, Nicole doesn't know any other director who can have this unique aura.

And there are not many actors who have worked with Kubrick, who has become more and more metaphysical in his later years.

What's more, even if she has cooperated, if it weren't for Nicole's own delicate psychology, and precisely because of the conflict with her husband Tom Cruise, she has a deep understanding of this, and she can't feel Kubrick's aura.

- Like Tom with a thick line, Nicole doesn't think he can feel Kubrick's unique aura.

- even if he was a big believer in Kubrick, a complete fan.

And if she hadn't felt Kubrick's unique aura, Nicole wouldn't have felt Charlotte's similar aura.

"I don't know what it's like to act under this kind of aura?"

As an aspiring actress, Nicole is eager to try.

But on the other hand, considering that the impression left on her by Kubrick, the last director with an aura, was not all positive, Nicole felt a little apprehensive in her heart......

Charlotte didn't know that Nicole Kidman had a misunderstanding by chance, praised him to the height of Stanley Kubrick, and also made up the existence of a "great director's aura".

In fact, Nicole's so-called "aura" is more of a resonance between the dream and the mind caused by Charlotte's spell -

After experimenting during the filming of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and The Mummy, Charlotte has discovered that it is possible to connect the subconscious minds between actors in dreams.

And when it's linked, it allows for a certain level of empathy between the people being linked, which can resonate more with the content of a story.

Specific to the filming process, in fact, it is just that the actors who are linked together have a better tacit understanding with each other, bring deeper into the characters in the story, and perform better.

However, unlike the young actors in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone who are not yet 10 years old, adult actors cannot enter the dream world for long.

What's more, weaving dreams for a group of actors every night for a period of time is actually a very troublesome job.

When "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was filmed, it was thanks to the help of Charlize and Jodie Foster, and Charlotte was a little overwhelmed if she did this every time she made a movie.

So, after pondering for a long time, he came up with a relatively simple, but more ingenious method-
