Sophie opened the game cabin with the help of the staff, only to find that it was empty, and the mysterious program "Noah" appeared again at this time, claiming that he was the murderer of Taro Miyamoto. Sophie was able to Defeating him in the game will give you the qualification to challenge him in reality.
Sophie instinctively realized that Holmes's disappearance was closely related to the mysterious "Noah". She firmly believed that she was not fighting alone. Holmes must be fighting alongside her in an unknown place, so Sophie resolutely accepted the decision. challenge from the other side.
The ancient clock in the living room struck three times, heralding the arrival of midnight. Guy Ritchie sighed softly, and then reluctantly moved his eyes away from the script. He subconsciously brought the cigarette to his mouth, only to find that the cigarette in his hand had already been lit. He shook his head helplessly and threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray.
Guy Ritchie closed the script and moved his body, which was a little stiff, from side to side. He looked away, but his mind was still immersed in the script and story. Chen Feng left two major suspense at the end of the plot: the whereabouts of Holmes and the true identity of "Noah".
It has been widely rumored that Chen Feng gave up his minor in psychology because he lost interest in his studies, but at this time, Guy Ritchie overturned this conclusion. After reading this script, who would dare to say that Chen Feng is not interested in psychology? All of Chen Feng's plots are set up closely with the audience's psychology, and the suspense arrangement can continuously give the audience a strong psychological hint to continue watching.
It is not easy for a movie script dominated by reasoning to achieve this, especially in today's booming film industry. Various best-selling novels have been adapted and then appeared on the big screen, but mystery novels have always been ignored by people. On the contrary, suspense novels, the twin brothers of mystery novels, have become the favored objects of film and television adaptations. The most fundamental reason is related to the form of expression in the film. .
Movies are generally considered to convey information to the audience through vision and hearing. The awkward thing about mystery novels is that thinking, analysis, and reasoning are all activities that occur at the human psychological level. The psychological activities of the characters can be expressed in words. In contrast, . The film's means of expression seem inadequate when it comes to showing the complex psychological activities of the characters.
The most direct way to show the reasoning process in a movie is to show it through the protagonist¡¯s language. But reasoning is a very complicated process and cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences. If after watching a movie, the audience only sees a mouth that keeps talking, such a movie is destined to fail.
The high-IQ movies that are very popular in the entertainment industry today use another approach. Use picture details to hint at the logic of reasoning. This method is considered to be relatively successful after practice, but its shortcomings are also obvious and it seems very "laborious".
This is also a common problem in today's high-IQ movies. When the audience has to pay attention while watching the movie, they may not know who is who or where, and they are still thinking about who was with whom in the last scene. , and then a new ** came again. In short, the director deliberately took the audience into a whirlpool of brain teasers, so that the audience's brains could not be idle for a moment, and their eyes had to blink. If you go to the toilet and come back, you may not be able to understand some of the following parts.
The key to the success or failure of this type of film lies in whether the plot is fascinating. Making the audience confused and making the audience think are essentially like two sides of the same coin, but the effects are completely different. The former is likely to be abandoned by people. The box office was a disaster; and the latter is very likely to be regarded as a classic by the audience, and every detail will be discussed with relish.
The script of Guy Ritchie's "New Sherlock Holmes" has already achieved this effect. Although there are still some unsatisfactory aspects in the plot, the commercial nature of the film has indeed achieved the ultimate in subversion.
But Guy Ritchie has to admit that such an extreme change is quite interesting. At least the audience will have a novel feeling when watching the movie. This novelty must first come from the changes in the image and temperament of the new version of Mr. Holmes. From the moment he saw the script, he couldn't help but have small expectations after being surprised. Guy Ritchie wanted to see how Chen Feng would play this extreme "transformation".
In people¡¯s familiar impressions, Sherlock Holmes should disdain exaggeration and is an observer in nature. He should prefer to quietly ¡°read¡± the people and things around him. Although Sherlock Holmes in Chen Feng's works is not a wink-winner, his occasional cold humor is enough to make the whole audience laugh. It is difficult for people to believe that such a character is the legendary "detective".
Although this kind of subversion has some elements of prank in it, if nothing else, it is much stronger in terms of character affinity. Precisely because the image of Sherlock Holmes is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, no matter in words,?These are the classic TV series made by British people in the past, and they all tried their best to create the look of the detective that fits everyone's imagination; the new version of the movie will follow the old path of "having both form and spirit", and it may not necessarily be better than the predecessors; even if it is If you don't want to be as good as your predecessors, that's just copying others' wisdom. Where is the creativity?
Chen Feng is definitely not a person who is willing to stick to the same routine: he has to make something different. With such a mentality, it is not surprising that he wrote such an alternative Holmes. Anyway, for commercial films, stimulating curiosity is also one of the important ways to attract money.
While giving the classic characters a new look, Chen Feng also changed the way he interprets the story. As we all know, if Sherlock Holmes were stripped of the process of reasoning and analysis, it would really be putting the cart before the horse.
Chen Feng is sufficiently clear-headed on this issue. Although he is obsessed with novelty and novelty in the plot, he even does not hesitate to add fashionable elements such as time travel and virtual games. But the focus of the entire plot is still on the reasoning of the case. At the beginning, assisting Sophie in solving the case was just an appetizer. When the main dish of "Jack the Ripper" is served, the reasoning-based tone of the entire film is fully highlighted. out.
Although Chen Feng has made it clear that he will carry out subversion to the end, when faced with classic stories and classic characters, Chen Feng does not go too far. In fact, after reading the script, Guy Ritchie still discovered a lot of classic Sherlock Holmes themes in the process of reviewing it.
Especially for the hobbies of this detective with a rather eccentric temperament, the script also gives many details. For example, he is a "homebody" who hides in a dark room to practice shooting and conduct experiments when he is not taking on cases; for example, he is a "violin lover" who plays the piano randomly whenever he has nothing to do; as for his excessive use of cocaine to stimulate Chen Feng did not shy away from the "quirks" of thinking because of Western society's sensitivity to "drugs". In the plot, some of Holmes' bizarre words and deeds are enough to imply that this guy is actually a drug addict. (To be continued)
