Chapter 2064： Intention to participate

Today's fourth update, come to recommend, please subscribe!

The project discussed on the train last year was Sherlock Holmes.

Steven Moffat's words caught Mark Gatis's eyes, and he immediately understood. In fact, recently, because "Doctor Who" was suspended this year, whether it can be broadcast again next year also depends on the selection of actors, so the development of new dramas was originally just an idea, but now it is really on the agenda. The Sherlock-Holmes proposal is irresistible to any Briton, after all, it's part of their national culture, and Warner Bros. cast "Sherlock Holmes," which invited Jude Law to play Watson, also made the The British conception of Sherlock-Holmes resurfaced.

It was Mark Gatiss who suddenly saw Evan Bell. In the face of such an accident, his first reaction was to stay on "Doctor Who". After all, this was the purpose of their visit to the West End of London today, but the result was not the same. Unsatisfactory, even Steven Moffat disagreed, and tried repeatedly to stop Mark Gatiss. But now it seems that Steve Moffat has already had an idea and hopes that Evan Bell can play the proposal about Sherlock Holmes.

Mark Gatiss almost immediately applauded, "Watson, this is really the best idea. You have to agree, you must agree."

Evan-Bell paused for a moment, and then said, "You mean, Sherlock Holmes?" After speaking, Evan-Bell couldn't help but glance at Blake Lively and smiled.

This is indeed a perfect coincidence, Blake Lively has just finished work on "Sherlock Holmes", and now Evan Bell has actually received another project about Sherlock Holmes, of course, played by Blake Lively. It's Ellen Adler, and Evan Bell will definitely not play the role, which is almost.

"What do you think?" said Mark Gatis happily. "Last year they had a great conversation on the topic of Sherlock Holmes on the train. Evan Bell's love for Sherlock Holmes was beyond words, so Mark Gatiss felt the project couldn't be more sensible.

Evan Bell was distracted for a while, because he thought of the "Detective Sherlock (Sherlock, also translated as Sherlock in his previous life. After the British mini-series was broadcast, it set off an amazing popularity around the world. The popularity has brought the story of Sherlock Holmes back to the public's attention, triggering countless discussions and making all topics related to the series a hot topic.

"Are you planning to make it into a TV series?" Evan Yibel quickly recovered and asked.

Hearing the tone of Evan Bell's inquiry, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss immediately knew that there was a drama, and the two exchanged glances, showing a look of joy, but after all, they are also in the entertainment industry. The old man quickly regained his composure.

"Yes, a mini-television." Steven Moffat said, "We want to make some adaptations based on Sir Conan Doyle's original book, and show the essence of the original book as much as possible."

If it is to be adapted according to Arthur Conan Doyle's original work, then the length of the story is limited, either a movie or a mini-television, and it certainly cannot be made into a full-length drama. But having said that, British TV series is not the same system as the United States. The broadcast season in the United States has formed a tradition that the number of episodes in each season fluctuates between twenty-two and twenty-five episodes.

However, the broadcast seasons in the UK are not so clearly distinguished. Most of the British TV series have nine or twelve episodes as a cycle, so the whole series also presents the characteristics of short and powerful. If Steve-Moffat and Mark Gatiss wanted to do a mini-series, it would probably be in the form of one or three episodes.

Evan-Bell nodded, from this we can see that Steven-Moffat and Mark Gatiss do not have the shortcoming of being greedy, "Adapting the original work of the jester, this is not a It's never been easier. So the quality of the script is often critical."

Evan Bell's words made the two people in front of them agree, and then they saw three people nodding their heads. Although Blake Lively, who was standing on the side, did not speak, she had been listening carefully and felt a little funny when she saw this scene. Blake Lively had not actually been directly involved in the process of Evan Bell's selection of the script, and he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw a simple conversation today.

"Before seeing the script, I don't think anything can be concluded." Evan Bell finally concluded and expressed his own meaning.

Mark Gatiss thought for a while, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Steven Moffat, Watson, you mean, if the script is satisfactory, you are willing to take this plan already? "Steven-Moffat saw Evan-Bell's intention to steal the concept, and he pointed it out directly, which made Evan-Bell's smile appear directly.

In fact, Evan-Bell has been active in the world movie circle all these years. Evan-Bell's picky about scripts is not a secret at all among most people in the circle. Even though the United Kingdom and the United States are separated by an Atlantic Ocean, because of Evan-Bell's special identity, the UK's understanding of Evan-Bell will definitely not be inferior to that of Hollywood. Therefore, Steve Moffat also knows the habit of Evan Bell.

Evan Bell shrugged, "I wouldn't express it this way. I mean, the script is always one of the most important links, or at least a good start." This is Evan Bell's habit , but also his insistence.

It is undeniable that Evan-Bell is very interested in Steven-Moffat's proposal, but strictly speaking, Evan-Bell still remembers the task he is currently shouldering, except for "one day", he and Christopher. The script that Nolan is writing, if nothing else, Evan Bell will also participate in it - but the specific identity has not yet been determined: just the screenwriter, or some more in-depth participation.

Therefore, Evan Bell did not finish his words. What's more, in Evan Bell's view, Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss have not written the script at all, and their current main energy is still on "Doctor Who". Without a swipe, how could Evan and Bell agree in the first place?

Despite Evan Bell's sly cunning, Steve Moffat heard a positive message in Evan Bell's positive tone, smiling and saying, "Of course, of course. The script is for us. , is also a better start." Speaking of which, Steven-Moffat paused a little and looked around, "Why don't we sit down and talk in detail?"

Evan Bell looked at Blake Lively. He originally planned to go shopping with Blake Lively in the afternoon, but now there is an accident. Blake Lively received Evan Bell's gaze, and without pausing for too long, he smiled at the elder who was looking at him eagerly, "That's naturally the best, I've already stood a little bit. tired."

This little act of coquettishness made Evan Bell laugh. After the few of them met, they patronized and discussed the old times, standing in the middle of the street for at least a quarter of an hour, which was really out of place.

I found a coffee shop next to the street and sat down. It was Mark, and Gatiss spoke first, "Actually, we haven't started writing the script for the time being. You know, we have been struggling with unemployment recently." Mark Gatiss The honesty made Evan Bell laugh, which reminded him of how Mark Gatiss was thinking about coffee on the train last year, "But we actually discussed the script, and we all felt that Conan would Each of Sir Doyle's stand-alone stories has some adaptations that evolve into a TV series, but there will be slight adaptations based on the context of the times, such as 'A Study in Scarlet' becoming 'A Study in Pink'."

Hearing that Mark Gatiss held this non-conceptually casual Blake Lively couldn't help laughing, and seeing that everyone was looking over, she quickly explained, "I just think pink and Sherlock Holmes are placed in the Together, I don't know why it fits very well." These words made the expressions of the three men a little weird, it seems that there are still many differences in the brain circuits of men and women.

"But we want to limit the length of each episode to ninety minutes," added Steven Moffat, "because each of Sir Conan Doyle's stories is too rich to be shortened to forty on purpose. Five minutes, then there’s a good chance it will become anticlimactic and the details will be lost.”

For this point, Evan Bell couldn't agree more, "It is conceivable that even if it is 90 minutes, there is probably no breathing time. But do you have any specific ideas on how to adapt it?"

Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss glanced at each other again, and Evan Bell knew that they must not have discussed it in detail, and he didn't mind, and smiled, "Remember when we were on the train last year. Are there some details of the discussion? I think there are actually many places that can be really invested in shooting.”

Evan Bell took the initiative to mention some details of the adaptation of the story. It is a huge challenge to move Sherlock Holmes from the Victorian era to the contemporary era. The script has to consider not only the original flavor of the story, but also how to transfer The task of changing the background of the era perfectly is extremely difficult.
