Hearing Barry Mayer's words, Evan Bell did not follow the words with a smile, but raised his eyebrows and looked at Barry Mayer with a playful expression. This look made Barry Mayer feel a little embarrassed. After all, he came to the door today to show his sympathy. When he said this just now, it seemed that apology was an additional topic. Not a good sign.

However, Barry Mayer, an old fox who has seen strong winds and waves, naturally wouldn't show it. Under Evan Bell's gaze, his smile remained the same, but he continued to say, "Actually, this proposal has just been released. It's just an idea, nothing has been prepared yet." This is also an explanation, indicating that it was purely accidental that he remembered this proposal.

Whether Evan Bell believes it or not, at least the atmosphere of the conversation between the two has eased. Evan Bell took over the topic with a smile, "Is the post-production of 'Dark Knight' going well?"

Although filming of Evan Bell's Joker scene was completed in November, the entire production of "Batman: The Dark Knight" was not completed until late December. After that, two additional blasting shots were shot in January, and then it was the turn of a busy February. The post-production of the entire film is estimated to have just started not long ago.

The smile on Barry Mayer's face did not change, but he knew that Evan Bell was not only changing the subject, but also saying that it was not long before "Batman: The Dark Knight" was finished, and Warner Bros. Can't wait to pitch Evan Bell's next production proposal, it's so impatient. This is Evan Bell's quiet stab at Barry Mayer, after all, their relationship has definitely not been harmonious in the past three months.

"Everything went well. Because Chris mostly used the original method to shoot, there were not many special effects, so the post-production was much faster than expected, and it is now more than half completed." Barry-Mayer did not seem to hear it. The subtext in Evan Bell's words is general, and he actually seriously discussed the post-production of "Batman: The Dark Knight".

Evan Bell nodded, "The shooting process took us a lot of energy, and the post-production was much faster than other works using computer technology." Christopher Nolan has always been a relatively traditional and old-school The director, who is madly obsessed with film movies, has always been very restrained in the use of computer technology.

"The movie is expected to be released in July, do you have time to participate in the promotion of the premiere?" Barry-Mayer continued along this topic, the expression on his face did not change too much, but there was a little bit of a look in his eyes. expect.

Evan Bell is rarely involved in publicity anymore. More often, his works, whether it is music or movies, are promoting each other, and the effect is surprisingly good.

In the past few works, including last summer's "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", Evan Bell did not participate in any publicity. That's why Barry Mayer asks.

"It should be." Evan Bell gave a positive answer, which made Barry Mayer's smile grow wider. "If nothing else, I don't have any special plans for the second half of this year. I plan to spare the Olympics. Take some time to enjoy this quadrennial event."

At present, Evan Bell only has a shooting plan for the work "Juno", and he does not want to rush to take more works. This year happens to be the year of the Beijing Olympic Games. Let go of his busy work and enjoy the Olympic year. Happiness is also a very good choice.

"That would be great." Barry-Mayer naturally welcomed this situation with raised arms. "However, isn't it time for you to release a new album this year? Why, there is no such plan yet?"

Evan Bell's last three albums were all released in even-numbered years, so people have become accustomed to this pattern. They always feel that Evan Bell's new album "Five" will definitely be released this year, plus it just ended. At the Super Bowl not long ago, Evan Bell sang a new song "The Fighter (ghbr, and people's expectations were naturally doubled.

Evan Bell pouted, "No one has stipulated that I have to release an album this year, right?" In fact, as far as Evan Bell is concerned, releasing an album is a matter of course, and now his new songs are definitely enough for an album The standard is high, but there are not so many that satisfy Evan Bell, so there is no need to be too anxious about the album "Five". It is better to slow down and prepare well. When the time comes, Evan Bell will naturally not hide it.

"Then Lee is going to be sad." Barry Mayer and Lee Kelleher also had a good relationship, so he joked with a smile. "And your fans and fans will be sad too."

For Barry Mayer's ridicule, Evan Bell just shrugged and did not respond. Barry Mayer didn't mind either, and continued, "Evan, what do you think of the idea of putting the Sherlock Holmes story on the big screen?"

"Is this the new proposal you just mentioned?" Evan Bell raised his eyebrows and reacted immediately. Barry Mayer nodded noncommittally. Evan Belt paused, "Wow, this is a huge challenge!"

Sherlock Holmes, one of the three major figures in the world alongside Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse, is synonymous with global detectives. What Sherlock Holmes embodies is a talent for penetrating the appearance of things with insight, and an otherworldly discernment of digging out the truth from confusing tricks. This observation and deduction method can be called A classic that has influenced generations after generations.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional detective character created by the British detective novelist Arthur Conan Doyle in the late 19th century. And this character has also become a world-renowned top virtual character. "22B Baker Street", where he and his assistant Dr. John Watson live, has become a world-famous tourist attraction; the well-known Royal Society of Chemistry in the United Kingdom announced on October 16, 2020 He was awarded the title of honorary institute, making him the first fictional character to receive this honor; even the British royal family awarded Sherlock Holmes a knighthood, which was the first time in history; The life of Locke Holmes, whose biography is generally written as a real person, is almost unique.

It can be said that "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" is an immortal classic that ushered in the golden age of detective novels. It has been translated into fifty-seven languages over the past 100 years and has become popular all over the world. The originator exists.

Since someone adapted novels into movies, TV series and stage plays, many classic works have been realized in real life, and Sherlock Holmes, a classic character in the classics, is one of the most popular adaptation characters in history. According to incomplete statistics, there have been seventy-five actors who played Sherlock Holmes, which is an astonishing number.

However, in the past 20 years, there has not been any film about Sherlock Holmes in the United States - perhaps because there are too many remakes, the audience has not bought it, and even the British mainland has been silent for a few years. On American soil, the most recent related work to date is the 1988 Michael Caine comedy "The Sherlock Holmes Story", while the world's most beloved and widely regarded as the best series is the 1984 British TV series "Breakout". The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", starring Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes, who has also become the most recognized "Sherlock Holmes" by the audience.

It's undeniable that the Sherlock Holmes story is a good subject for adaptation into a movie, and it's been 20 years since the famous detective last appeared on the big screen in the United States, so it's no wonder that Warner Bros. idea. However, it is precisely because of the classics that the difficulty is greater.

As we all know, loyal fans of Sherlock Holmes are all over the world. These fans will become the most loyal viewers of the film, but at the same time they will also become the strictest critics. They will not allow anyone to criticize the Sherlock Holmes story. blasphemy. Therefore, any company, any team, any group of actors taking on this task can definitely be said to be a huge challenge.

That's why Evan Bell said, "This is a huge challenge."

Barry Mayer was not surprised by Evan Bell's judgment, but said with a smile, "If even the famous Evan Bell said it was a huge challenge, then I really don't know there is Who is up to the task."

Evan Bell shruggedI don't know, Robert Downey Jr.? "Evan Bell didn't say it casually, but Barry Mayer thought that Evan Bell was joking and didn't care at all. "Actually, if I were to challenge the role of Sherlock Holmes, I would find it very interesting, just imagine. , according to my understanding of the original novel to interpret a new version of Sherlock Holmes, this is really a very interesting thing. "

"I knew you were very keen on challenges." Barry Mayer looked clear.

Evan Bell looked at Barry Mayer, "So you threw the topic of 'Holmes' to me, and then let me go on happily?" Evan Bell smiled and laughed at himself See through Barry Mayer's ruse.

Although Evan Bell was joking, Barry Mayer couldn't follow along, "Evan, this is just a proposal, a proposal at the moment. We don't even have an idea of which story the script is going to adapt, which can't be. It's a temptation for you." Barry Mayer actually emphasized that he came here specifically to apologize, and it was purely accidental that the topic would turn to Sherlock Holmes.

Evan Bell smiled, "That's good. Because I'm not interested in this proposal." This time, Barry Mayer's smile hidden behind his beard became slightly stiff.
