Chapter 2246： break the classic

Today's second update, please recommend, please subscribe!

Challenging the classics is not an easy task. It is similar to breaking the shackles of science. For example, to break the concept that the earth is square in people's memory and prove that the earth is round, from Pythagoras to Ella Tosthenes, to Magellan, Newton, from the fifth century BC to the 1830s, this theory was proved correct. Mainly because people have formed an inertial pattern in their minds, they think this is the truth, so once there is a situation that subverts or challenges the truth, it will inevitably lead to people's rejection.

The same is true of characters, but they are not as serious as scientific research. After a comic or novel character has created an indelible and fixed virtual impression in the reader's mind, when it is separated from the virtual carrier and displayed in the form of images, it will definitely suffer from readers' strictures. To be harsh and critical, many classic comics or novels are under huge pressure from book fans when they are filmed, and the probability of success and failure is evenly matched. This is the reason.

Therefore, when an actor successfully plays a virtual role, it is difficult for people to change the deep-rooted impression in their minds. Like Harrison Ford to Indiana Jones, Jeremy Brett to Sherlock Holmes, Christopher Reeve to Superman, Evan Bell to Captain Jack Sparrow… . . . It's all like that.

These actors endow the virtual characters with flesh and blood, integrate this image into their own personality, and evolve into a classic existence in the hearts of fans. To a certain extent, they cannot even distinguish the boundaries between actors and characters, making this character an actor The most special existence in acting career. This is the case with Jeremy Brett and Christopher Reeve. Their generational actors have been fixed on this classic virtual character, and even if they act in other works, they cannot escape from the actors of these roles.

Under such circumstances, the move to challenge these classic screen images will undoubtedly be under enormous pressure. When Evan Bell played the Joker, people almost in every way compared Evan Bell and Jack Nicholson's version of the Joker. For comparison, but in the end Evan Bell has overcome all constraints and achieved a truly classic clown. Now it has been recognized in Hollywood, no one dares to challenge the role of the clown again, otherwise it will be self-defeating, this is the power of the so-called "classic". The same is true of Captain Jack Sparrow, you can imagine the enormous pressure on Penn Lecce's shoulders now, including Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer walking the tightrope with trepidation.

Evan Bell as Sherlock Holmes, too. When Evan Bell does something different from Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes, people will naturally be very different, thinking it's inappropriate, weird, abnormal, not in line with the character image, Even the directors, screenwriters and others who participated in the re-creation of the script were so stunned, let alone the audience who were going to watch the episode at that time?

In people's fixed impression, Sherlock Holmes is calm, serious and solemn. He is so calm that he is almost cold-blooded, like a sophisticated instrument. ", "Vase" impression, such a unique existence. This is Jeremy Brett's Sherlock Holmes.

Now, Evan-Bell is jumping up and down! Sherlock Holmes jumped in the air like a sixteen-year-old maiden to express his inner joy? Oh god, this is so ridiculous, so scary! So, it's no wonder that after watching Evan Bell's performance on the set, no one was able to react.

Even after Evan Bell explained his thoughts, even after Martin Freeman clapped his hands to express his praise, the scene was still unacceptable. It seemed that Evan Bell challenged the classics and even broke the classics. The road is definitely a long way to go.

"Why don't we look at the playback, see the overall effect, let's discuss it, how about that?,' Evan Bell said to director Paul McBengen, and at the same time looked at Steven' Moffat and Mark Gatiss' expressed their inquiry with firm, confident eyes.

It was Mark Gatiss who reacted first, and he shrugged, "Of course, why not?" He remembered the reason why he and Steven Moffat went to Evan Bell, that is, they wanted to believe Evan Bell It can give the role of Sherlock Holmes a new vitality, and Evan Bell's personal talent is not a vain name, so instead of standing still here and firmly denying "this does not fit the character image'", it is better to open up your ideas and open your heart to try. Take a closer look at the changes Evan Bell has brought to Sherlock Holmes.

Not only Paul McBengan, Steve Moffat, and Mark Gatiss, but also the nearby staff gathered around to re-examine the scene just now. After the playback, people found that Evan-Bell's performance was not revealing any traces, and it was done in one go. Not only was it not weird, but on the contrary, it had a natural sense of harmony.

Sherlock Holmes was talking to John, and after being attracted by Mrs. Hudson's words, he noticed the police car arriving downstairs, and his excitement and excitement could be seen between his eyebrows. He must be at this moment. His brain has already entered the state of solving the case, thinking carefully about every detail of the past three suicide cases. When Officer Lestrade appeared, Sherlock Holmes hid his excitement again and returned to his usual indifferent appearance, but from his slightly hurried and short pronunciation, he could faintly perceive that he was more eager than when he was chatting before. , and this eagerness erupted after everything was settled and Officer Lestrade left, and he jumped excitedly like a child, even circling in place, waltzing in the living room with graceful steps. prepare for the trip.

All of this continued without any sense of disobedience. On the contrary, it took less than a minute to outline the image of Sherlock Holmes, a character who was indifferent to foreign affairs and passionate about solving crimes. And the slight change between Evan and Bell's eyebrows, the light of calm and wisdom is not dazzling but makes people unable to look away.

This is only the second scene. Evan Bell is perfectly integrated into the role of Sherlock Holmes, and people can't tell how different it is from Jeremy Brett and Robert Downey Jr. , but there is an inexplicable firmness: this is what Sherlock Holmes really looks like.

Originally thought it would be a very difficult challenge, but judging from this scene, Evan Bell played Sherlock Holmes in the process, not only did not have any difficulties, it could even be said to be a duck to water. After watching the replay three times, Paul McGuigan had already recognized Evan Bell's Sherlock Holmes, but he still subconsciously looked at Steve Moffat and Mark Gatiss, after all It's the two writers and producers who really control where the show goes.

Steven Moffat glanced at Mark Gatiss, who was excited. He knew that Mark Gatiss had approved. In fact, he had been persuaded by Evan Bell, but as a producer, he could not Emotional, so he decided to take another look, "Evan, let's follow your ideas first, let's talk about this scene after filming."

Originally thought that the scenes selected for the startup today were relatively simple, and the shooting would be very smooth.

Evan Bell naturally has no objection to this. In the "Sherlock" crew, he is an actor, an actor who has little power to speak. He has made his position clear and has done his best to contribute an excellent performance, then The final judgment is not up to him to decide.

"So, where do we continue to shoot?" Evan Bell asked Paul McChingen. He didn't know how the director planned to arrange these shots. If it was a long shot, then he had to start from Lestrade. The officer went downstairs and began to re-enter the statePaul McGuigan hesitated, "Uh...", then he briefly thought, with an apologetic smile, "Can you dance again? "This made a lot of staff next to him chuckle. "I thought it would have been better to just cut in from the moment Officer Lestrade left, and have a coherent shot of you walking around the living room."

Evan Bell accepted this request very calmly, "Of course, there is no problem." Then he turned to look at Una Stubbs, who played Martin Freeman and Mrs. Hudson, "But this time, it's not allowed to miss the line. Although the waltz is very elegant, it will make you dizzy if you turn too much. "

Yuna Stubbs immediately raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, with a helpless smile on her face, "With mental preparation, you won't be scared the second time." The old lady's words made Egypt A smile appeared on Wen Bell's face.

Repositioning, Evan Bell thought for a while, and then said to Rupert Graves, who played the Lestrade police skeleton, "I'm ready, give me a start."

Rupert Graves looked at Paul Lingquigan, and after confirming that the crew was ready, he said, "Thank you." Then he stomped his feet in place, making the sound of going down the stairs, and Evan Bell entered instantly. Performance status, Sherlock Holmes upper body!
