To be honest, Evan Bell was a little moved when he heard Sherlock Holmes' proposal.
All that aside, the role of Sherlock Holmes alone is indeed a very exciting challenge. Sherlock Holmes is a maverick character, cold, withdrawn, calm, insistent, a little proud and His conceited, vicious tongue is unforgiving, and his cool head, keen observation and strong reasoning ability make him easily differentiated from other ordinary people, which makes him out of tune with the surrounding, it is estimated that the only one who can bear him is John Watson is alone, which makes the two lifelong friends.
This reminds Evan Bell of the character of Captain Jack Sparrow, not that Jack Sparrow and Sherlock Holmes are very similar, but that they are both exuberant personalities and socially aloof characters. , their sparkling personalities make them stand out easily from the crowd. Perhaps, there are many people who don't like them - to be precise, most of the people around them don't like them, but their charisma can't be ignored. As the people they meet in their lives, it is a pain, but as an audience outside of the movie screen and the pages of a novel, they are deeply fascinated by their charm. There is another such character, Sheldon Cooper from "The Big Bang Theory."
However, the role of Sherlock Holmes is different from Jack Sparrow and Sheldon Cooper. Sherlock Holmes has countless fans around the world, and the pressure and challenges brought by this role will be multiplied. increase. So, this process is a very interesting thing, carefully pondering all aspects of the character, and then let yourself become a character written by Arthur Conan Doyle, walking through the virtual world, this is really an involuntary Thing to get excited about.
In fact, as far as Evan Bell is concerned, he still has a special feeling for Sherlock Holmes. This goes back to the history of Katherine Bell and William Bell.
When Katherine Bell married William Bell, the two young people shared a common hobby, the vivid Sherlock Holmes written by Arthur Conan Doyle. There was once a rumor that the character prototype of Sherlock Holmes in Arthur Conan Doyle's book was his medical school teacher, Dr. Joseph Bell. William Bell believed it.
In William Bell's own words, he is a descendant of Dr. Joseph Bell. However, this matter has not been traced to the genealogy, and there is no evidence to investigate it. It is estimated that even William Bell himself does not know the truth, let alone Catherine Bell. But this does not affect the two young people's love for Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
When Teddy Bell was born. The Bell family is still a happy scene, and Teddy Bell's full name is Teddy Holmes Bell, from which you can see the infinite expectations of the young couple for their children. However, Teddy Bell's information is too mysterious in the eyes of the media, and almost no one can dig it out, so this point has not been revealed. About the middle name, only Bell's family knows it.
When Evan Bell was born, William Bell was no longer there, but Evan Bell's full name was "Evan Watson Bell". It can be seen from this that although Catherine Bell complained and resented at that time, she still missed that relationship. If it wasn't really in love, how could Katherine Bell leave Savile Row regardless, willing to elope with William Bell?
As the years go by, the names of the two Bell brothers don't have much meaning, they only exist as a thought. In fact, there are quite a few people who change their middle names, and many young people with personalities even create some words themselves as their middle names. Like Christopher McCanders in "Survival in the Wild." His new name for himself, Alexander-Super Wanderer, is somewhat of that. But the Bell brothers did not deliberately change it, not to say that they missed their father-the father did not have any impression on them. It's just a special name for Catherine Bell, which is also a part of memory, so the two brothers did not make any changes.
Due to his name, Evan Bell is also very interested in "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes", and he finished reading the entire set of novels a long time ago. Eleven Princes Street still holds the novel, which was left to Catherine Bell when Evan Bell moved.
No one knows about the middle names of the Bell brothers and their past history, including the Hathaway family, who only know that Evan Bell's middle name is "Watson". Therefore, even in the entertainment circle where the paparazzi are pervasive, no one knows the history of the Bell family.
However, Evan Bell's claim that Sherlock Holmes's proposal was on his mind is indeed true.
In the last life, when Evan Bell was reborn, it was actually the time when the Sherlock Holmes trend struck again. The American movie version of "Detective Sherlock" has achieved both box office and word-of-mouth success, while the British TV series "Sherlock" is even more popular all over the world, leading a new trend.
The Warner Bros. proposal brought up by Barry Mayer and Evan Bell today is naturally the movie version of Sherlock Holmes. In the last life, Robert Downey Jr. played Sherlock Holmes and Jude Law played the most handsome John Watson ever. After the film was released, it achieved very good box office results, and the reputation was very good, which directly prompted the birth of the sequel. Although the sequel has fallen slightly in word of mouth, the box office is still very bright.
Therefore, just now Evan Bay was surprised and blurted out "Robert Downey Jr." It was definitely not random. It's no surprise that Barry Mayer would be so surprised.
In Hollywood, in addition to Evan Bell, Johnny Depp, Sean Penn these thorns, Robert Downey Jr. is definitely more rebellious. Robert Downey Jr. achieved attention in 1987 and won his first Oscar nomination in 1993. It can be said that his career is flourishing. But then, in 1996, he was arrested and tried in court for many times because of drug problems such as Hai Luo Yin, speeding into private houses under the influence of drugs, illegally carrying firearms, and then repeatedly breaking probation and bail. regulations, and eventually served a prison sentence. It was less than a year after he was released from prison. At the turn of the century, he was imprisoned for the second time. After the second time, he returned to his old ways twice and fell into drug addiction again. From 1996 to 2003, Robert Downey Jr. struggled in the world of drugs for eight years!
From the original star of tomorrow to a complete failure. Robert Downey Jr.'s life has gone through major changes. In the past few years, Robert Downey Jr. has had a lot of film contracts, but he has never been able to return to his peak. In fact, in the entire circle, the distrust of Robert Downey Jr. is quietly pervading. So it's no wonder that Barry Mayer was surprised to hear that Evan Bell actually linked Robert Downey Jr. to Sherlock Holmes.
But Evan Bell knows that the time for Robert Downey Jr. to make a comeback is coming. He starred in the new work "Iron Man" produced by Paramount Pictures, which should be released this summer, won the box office and won the word of mouth, Turn Robert Downey Jr.'s career around.
It is said that Hollywood has always had an American dream. There are countless cases of overnight fame and overnight depravity, and the story of comeback is like a star. Robert Downey Jr. is a living example. After the return of the prodigal son, Robert Downey Jr.'s career reached its peak, definitely stronger than the novel and more exciting than the movie.
Barry Mayer doesn't seem to be thinking about Robert Downey Jr., but six months from now, who knows what's going to happen? Of course, the premise is that Evan Bell rejects the proposal from Warner Bros.
The reason Evan Bell said to Barry Mayer "I'm not interested in this proposal" is not because of Joe, but because he is not interested in the proposal of "Sherlock Holmes". It's not that this movie is bad, to be honest, Evan Bell thinks this movie is still very good, the cooperation between Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law is also very eye-catching, and there is Rachel McAdams as the role. "That woman has great chemistry and a good storyline.
But the problem is, "Sherlock Holmes" is not based on Arthur Conan Doyle's original story, but based on Lionel Wigram's comic book of the same name. Of course, the comics are actually based on the original story of Arthur Conan Doyle. But Lionel Wigram has recreated Sherlock Holmes, and the image of Sherlock Holmes in his imagination has changed in many details from the original. There is no problem with this, but Evan Bell has lost some flavor personally. On the contrary, the British TV series "Sherlock" is even better in character shaping.
Of course, Evan Bell would say this, but he actually meant to make fun of Barry Mayer. Today, Barry Mayer came to apologize, but he actually brought the topic to the proposal, even though he used "Batman Prequel" before. : The Dark Knight" led away, but Barry Mayer actually circled back. Therefore, Evan Bell said this sentence to make fun of Barry Mayer.
Sure enough, when Evan Bell said he was not interested, Barry Mayer's smile hidden behind his beard stiffened, but he quickly reacted, "Evan, why? You haven't even read the script. Do you think it's a bad idea to put Sherlock Holmes on the big screen?"
