Looking at the dense dark clouds over London, Evan Bell couldn't help but sigh, "The weather in London is always melancholy."

"When you get used to it, you will find that this kind of weather still makes people feel very safe." Martin-Freeman stood by and said with a serious face.

Evan Bell raised his eyebrows, "Do you mean the surprise that it may rain at any time?"

"No, I mean saving the trouble of putting on sunscreen." Martin Freeman coped with ease.

At this time, Evan Bell, Martin Freeman and the entire "Sherlock" crew were standing on the street, although the entire street was blocked on both sides, to prepare for the upcoming shooting. Prepared, but the reporters and fans who rushed to the scene still surrounded the entire North Gower Street.

The crew of the "Sherlock" TV series officially started today. A press conference was held at 9:00 am, and then the filming officially started at 2:00 pm. More than 80 media reporters attended the press conference in the morning. News expressed concern. Of course, the biggest concern is that Evan Bell will become the new Sherlock Holmes.

The most famous Sherlock Holmes actor in history is the British actor Jeremy Brett, who died in 1999. He has played many roles in Jeremy Brett's more than 40 years of acting career. Few have surpassed his image of Sherlock Holmes in the minds of audiences. It can be said that in the real image of Sherlock Holmes, it is generally recognized that it is the appearance of Jeremy Brett. Whether it is the similarity of appearance or the study of acting skills, Jeremy Brett is considered to be the most authoritative Sherlock. - Sherlock Holmes.

Evan Bell is now going to challenge the role of Sherlock Holmes in the TV series, which naturally caused countless discussions. Evan Bell has played independent roles that open up new paths, such as Captain Jack Sparrow; he has also challenged the role of classic existence in the past, such as the Joker, and Evan Bell has conquered with stunning performances all the audience. This time, it is definitely not an easy task to challenge Sherlock Holmes, who has not appeared on the small screen for nearly 20 years, and to break the deep-rooted "genuine Holmes" impression of Jeremy Brett in the hearts of the British.

In addition, Robert Downey Jr. also played the same role in "Sherlock Holmes", which was released at the end of last year. The film won 209 million in North America and 315 million overseas. At the box office, the global box office broke through the 500 million threshold. Although part of the reason is said to be due to the attraction of "the most handsome Watson in history" played by Jude Law, no one will deny the charm of Robert Downey Jr. It can be said that Robert Downey Jr. is also considered a new interpretation of Sherlock Holmes.

Now, "The Great Detective Sherlock Holmes" is still in theaters, and Evan Bell is about to challenge the Sherlock Holmes image established by Robert Downey Jr. This showdown naturally makes the media reporters excited.

So, when the press conference was over, the reporters couldn't wait to follow the crew to the shooting location, witnessing the official start of the film, and immediately announced the appearance of Sherlock Holmes played by Evan Bell to the public. Fortunately, the crew did not perform closed shooting, which is really good news for reporters.

The first scene that the crew will start today is the famous 221B Baker Street in the story. In reality, 221B Baker Street in London has become the Sherlock Holmes Museum. Tourists come here to film tours almost all year round. There are also nearby All kinds of signs and patterns related to Sherlock Holmes, it is now more than just a street, it has become the first geographic coordinate of London, and it has become the best place for pilgrimages for lovers of original works.

In this way, it is almost impossible for the crew to start shooting in the real Baker Street. Apart from the fact that the facilities in the museum cannot be easily moved, the tourists who may visit at any time are all Makes shooting extremely difficult. To put it simply, the crew really wanted to rent Baker Street down for filming, and it is estimated that City Hall would not agree.

After careful investigation, the crew chose North Gower Street, which is less than a mile (1,500 meters) east of Baker Street, for shooting. The architectural style and building structure of this street are basically the same as Baker Street. In effect, there really isn't much difference. Thus, 187 North Gower Street became the location of "221B Baker Street" in the TV series.

After Evan Bell was made to order, Katherine Bell personally designed the 21st century version of Sherlock Holmes' clothing, a black suit with a light gray shirt, a black long woolen trench coat, a dark blue cashmere scarf, and a suitable cut. In addition to outlining his slender figure, there are no too abrupt colors, and the real gentleman's aristocratic temperament is deeply restrained in the body under the clothes. To use the most direct word to describe it, it is boring.

Relatively speaking, Martin Freeman's clothes are much cleaner, black jeans, a plaid shirt with a gray woven textured sweater, and a black jacket. Although the color is relatively simple, it is obviously more civilian than Evan Bell. With short hair, the military style is still vaguely perceptible.

At this point, the two were standing on North Gower Street, waiting for the crew to prepare for the shooting of the first scene, when director Paul McGuigan came over and interrupted the chat between the two, "Evan, Martin , wait for a while, the first scene will be like this..."

The directors of European and American TV dramas are not like movies. A movie is a director. In many cases, it is normal for a TV drama crew to have more than five directors, or even more. In the field of TV dramas, hard-hitting soldiers are really suitable words. Basically, the position that can really be fixed is the producer and the entire production cast. The director, screenwriter, and actor are not fixed. Yes, it may be replaced at any time. So, the way TV crews work is obviously slightly different.

Paul McGuigan is currently the tentative director of the first episode. Whether he still knows the second episode is still unknown, depending on the situation after the first episode is finished. In fact, Paul Ling Kuigen is a well-known director in Europe. He filmed his debut film "Psychedelic House" in 1 year and won the BAFTA Award for the best TV movie trophy that year. In addition, there are The Fabisi Award at the Stockholm Film Festival, the three awards at the Portuguese Fantastic Film Festival, and the best film at the New York Underground Film Festival are a blockbuster.

Then Paul McGuigan won the European Film Awards for Discovery of the Year for his 2000 film "Rogues." After that, he started shooting works such as "Mystery Apartment" and "Lucky Number Slavin", but he failed to really make a name for himself, but his reputation in the industry is still very good.

This time, "Detective Sherlock" chose Paul McGuigan to shoot the first episode of the series. As the first attack to open up a new series, it can be seen that Steven Moffat and others have confidence in Paul McGuigan. .

The filming of the first scene was actually not complicated. As the starting scene, I definitely hoped to have a good start and win a lot of money for the series. This scene is actually the second meeting between Sherlock Holmes and John-Watson in the episode. The two were introduced by a friend to share a lease together, so John came to Baker Street to meet Sherlock-Holmes. , ready to go to 221B to see the house. The first scene was a simple chat between the two at the door.

"You get out of the taxi, come to the door, and talk to Martin face-to-face, that's all, our camera will move all the way from this direction." Paul Lingquigan said briefly, "Do you need a rehearsal?" In fact, this scene is not difficult in terms of positioning, and there is not much profound content in the performance. It is mainly a dialogue about the landlord, Mrs. Hudson.

Evan Bell nodded, "Why not?" No matter how simple the scene was, as the first scene to start, when he and Martin Freeman didn't have any tacit understanding, the rehearsal was very necessary.

As for Evan Bell's serious and rigorous attitude, Martin Freeman couldn't agree more, "Of course."

"Hello."

"Oh, Mr. Holmes."

"Just call me Sherlock."

Evan Bell and Martin Freeman first checked the lines twice After confirming that the whole rhythm was correct, they went through a rehearsal strictly according to the position of the filming for a while. Because this game is not too difficult! It was the first scene again. As long as the director did not have any requirements for acting, he left it to the actors to perform freely, so the content of the rehearsal was relatively basic.

The two rehearsed four times before and after, and after confirming that the whole thing was correct, Steven Moffat, as the representative of the crew, announced the official start of "Sherlock".

Sure enough, the filming of the first scene was not difficult. Although Paul Ling Kuigen was a little dissatisfied with the direction of the camera, which led to an NG, after the second filming, it was announced that the filming of this scene was completed in one go.

In just five minutes before and after the scene, the crew ended the shooting on North Gower Street and prepared to go to the second floor of 187 North Gower Street for indoor shooting. When the onlookers on both sides of the street saw that the crew began to pack up and prepare to enter the room for filming, they all started to make noise and kept shouting Evan Bell's name, which made the crew a little uncomfortable. After all, it's rare to see such passionate fans during the filming of a TV series.

Steven Moffat was already mentally prepared for such a scene. He smiled and said to the staff who stopped to watch, "Let's go, it's not your name."
