Chapter 601: Imitation Game

However, regardless of Charlotte's plan, in the short term, he has no chance of implementing it.

On the contrary, "Sherlock Holmes" in the UK continues to maintain its own magical record-

Another serial killer turned himself in to police at New Scotland Yard after watching the film, and died suddenly shortly thereafter.

- This is naturally Charlotte's way of doing it after eliminating Jack the Ripper.

But the media and the public don't know.

Such gimmicky news naturally further increased the popularity of "Sherlock Holmes".

At present, the box office of this film in North America has reached a staggering 300 million US dollars, and its release time has only been two weeks.

And the overseas market is also popular in various ways -

Not to mention the UK, even in France, where the movie was released before and after, "Sherlock Holmes" also performed very well, and it won the top spot at the box office this week.

According to the prediction of professional box office research agencies, the North American box office of this film is likely to exceed $500 million, and the global box office is more likely to exceed 1 billion.

It can be said that unless there is another "Titanic" in 2000, otherwise, whether it is the annual box office champion in North America or the world, it must be "Sherlock Holmes".

This kind of box office result naturally makes all the people involved in the movie ascend to heaven in an instant-

Not to mention Charlotte as a director, among the actors, Robert Downey Jr. has gone from a famous stinky shit addict in Hollywood to a model of the prodigal son's return;

And Jude Law, who originally only relied on selling faces, has also increased in popularity because of this, and he has been in the limelight for a while;

Even Nicole Kidman, who doesn't have as many roles as the two leading actors, has also increased her commercial appeal a lot because of her role as Erin Adler.

Many people fell in love with this amorous Australian girl because of this, and her "Moulin Rouge" was also popular before it was released......

For this, Nicole Kidman also called Charlotte specifically to express her gratitude.

At the same time, she also gave Charlotte a project -

"Island Cry", this thriller movie Nicole was originally intended to star.

However, in order to catch up with the schedule of "Sherlock Holmes", she finally gave up the script that imitated "The Sixth Sense".

And because Nicole was the leader of the script, and there was Tom Cruise who had a complicated relationship with her among the investors - as soon as Nicole gave up, it naturally led to the suspension of the entire film project all at once.

Now, after the success of "Sherlock Holmes" and the confirmation of starring in "Moulin Rouge", Nicole Kidman has completely abandoned "Island Cry".

But on the other hand, Nicole did think it was a good story, and it was always a pity not to let it come out, so she recommended it to Charlotte.

And for this story, Charlotte, as a traverser, naturally knows.

- In his original world, this is also one of Nicole Kidman's masterpieces.

Now, since the original owner recommended it to him, he is not welcome.

Of course, he won't shoot this story himself, but as a new project of the Ghost Party Studios, there is no problem.

In fact, although "Sherlock Holmes" was a successful box office hit, the related work is not over.

On the contrary, because of the box office hits, there were some chain problems.

- Of course, it's basically a good thing.

First of all, because Charlotte used IMAX technology in "Sherlock Holmes", with the success of the movie, this non-mainstream technology in the eyes of Hollywood filmmakers has gradually become popular.

As a result, the stock price of IMAX rose sharply, and Charlotte, as the majority shareholder of this company, also made a lot of money.

However, Charlotte is more concerned about his dominance of IMAX because of this matter.

This allowed him to realize some of his ideas with the help of a company that specializes in film technology.

Of course, this may take some time. And now, taking advantage of the box office success of "Sherlock Holmes", the game of the same name produced by Ghost Party Studios has also been released.

The sales of the game are very good. Many moviegoers bought this game because of their nostalgia for London at the end of the 19th century after watching the movie, and the characters and scenes in the game are similar to those in the movie, which makes everyone feel as if they have really returned to that weird and charming era.

And the plot of the game itself is also quite interesting-

"So, unlike in the movie, in the game, in addition to Earl Blake Wood, there are other hidden murderers?"

In the living room of Sheldon and Leonard's house, Emily asks Leonard while playing a game of Sherlock Holmes.

Leonard nodded,

"Yes, unlike the movies, there are multiple endings in the game - different endings are played, the criminals found are also different, and even a hidden ending with real dark magic exists - honestly, it's quite interesting!"

"Really!?"

Emily was also intrigued.

She manipulated the characters in the game while chatting with Leonard next to her, untilโ€”

"Emily, why did you kill me!?"

Leonard looked at the big "DEAD" on the screen in front of him, and his face was confused.

And Emily was eating and laughing,

"Actually, I'm an undercover agent. โ€

......

The few of them are playing the multiplayer network mode of "Sherlock Holmes".

Emily was very interested in this game, but because it cost too much money to go out and play some time ago, she didn't have time to buy the game this time.

It just so happened that Sheldon and Leonard bought it, and Emily simply came to try it out.

Then, she was pulled by the otaku foursome and played the multiplayer network mode.

- Petunia and Gianna were also playing.

The game Sherlock Holmes has been released in both console and PC versions, and the two can be interoperable online. This allows seven people to play in one room.

Although all seven of them are newbies, Emily finds it very interesting to cooperate with each other, betray and attack each other in the multiplayer mode.

No, she just killed Leonard once as an undercover agent.

- This is also the seventh time that Leonard has been killed as a detective.

"Give up, Leonard!"

Not far away, Sheldon, who was using another machine, was still making a mending knife seriously,

"When you use the character of Sherlock Holmes, the mortality rate is 100%, but as Dr. Watson, you can basically win, and you should realize that that role is more suitable for you......"

"Are you saying I'm better suited for a support and complaining role?"

Leonard looked loveless.

This made Emily look helpless-

"Dude, it's just a game, if you don't rise to such a height as your life positioning!?"

Emily thinks it's not a good habit to make up for it......
