Chatty Hollywood

If it is a traditional literary film, or a detective film with a relatively average budget, the reasoning scenes do not require any special treatment.

Normal literary drama can be used to narrate and decipher the story.

At most, it only requires some simple editing and there will be no problem.

Mystery-changing movies from the golden age such as "Tragedy on the Nile" and "Murder on the Orient Express" did not innovate much in this regard.

Most of the mystery plots introduced by Charlotte in "Sleepy Hollow" are also handled in this way.

But "Detective Sherlock Holmes" cannot be like this——

First of all, this is a commercial blockbuster and must allow enough time for action scenes and special effects scenes.

This means that the time for plots related to reasoning must be compressed as much as possible. For the sake of reasoning, the time for big scenes cannot be too short, which will make the audience unsatisfied.

But at the same time, this is another step into a Sherlock Holmes movie.

—— Reasoning is one of the core of the plot, it cannot be without it, and it cannot be without its highlights.

This creates a difficult problem of having to have your cake and eat it too.

Moreover, considering the audience's understanding ability, Charlotte must also find a way to make most of the audience understand the mystery plot in the movie, and at the same time find it very exciting.

Otherwise, it will either become highbrow and only a few people can understand it, thus affecting the box office;

Or it will become too simple, dissatisfying audiences who come to the cinema to seek intellectual challenges because of the name of Sherlock Holmes, thus affecting the reputation;

——This is another dilemma.

Fortunately, Charlotte, who traveled from the future, has watched many future detective movies and knows many new techniques.

He plans to use these new techniques, especially the methods used in Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman's version of "Sherlock" to quickly advance the reasoning plot while making it easy for the audience to understand. Use them all in your own "Detective Sherlock Holmes".

These methods will definitely make the audience feel refreshed.

But the problem is that these methods require post-production editing and special effects production.

This is one of the main reasons why Charlotte said post-production will be more troublesome.

At the same time, because the reasoning process may require a large number of clips to be edited and combined, it also leads to the need to shoot a large number of clips that look similar but are different in details.

——This is why photographer Addison Young found the filming of "Sherlock Holmes" to be particularly cumbersome.

*********

"I see!"

Addison Yang nodded.

After Charlotte's explanation, he finally understood the difficulty of this movie.

However, he immediately had another problem,

"According to you, isn't the plot of the case in our movie not complicated enough?"

As a core member of the crew, Mr. Photographer has naturally read the script.

Originally, he thought the script was very good. The content of the case was derived from the real Jack the Ripper incident. It was mysterious and bright, but not very complicated. It was more in line with the needs of a commercial blockbuster.

But now, after hearing what Charlotte said, he was a little worried that the case was not complicated enough.

Fortunately, Charlotte shook her head,

"Don't worry about that!"

He explained,

"Whether the plot of a mystery or movie can attract the attention of readers and viewers, make them find it interesting, and give them a sense of accomplishment after watching it, the key is not whether the case is complicated enough, but how to tell it!"

"How to tell!?"

At this time, not to mention Addison Young who had been listening, even Charlize and Alexis who were chatting about soy sauce also looked over, and Lao Qiang and Robert Jr., who were originally exchanging some shooting details. Downey also became interested.

Seeing that everyone was very interested, Charlotte, who likes to teach others, simply expressed her theory generously——

“In the early days of the golden age of reasoning, reasoners did aim to increase the complexity of cases.

But after developing to a certain extent, they gradually discovered that overly complicated case circumstances and crime methods often appeared very unreal. "

"After all, reality is full of various unexpected factors. If the crime method is too complicated, it is very difficult to achieve in reality. Any accident will lead to the bankruptcy of the method."

"This is why the so-called perfect crime does not exist!"

Charlotte made a famous criminological inference,

"Besides, there is nothing new under the sun. After reasoning develops to a certain stage, it becomes increasingly difficult to introduce new crime methods. Therefore, the development of reasoning turns to a more realistic path -"

"Misleading and misleading!"

He shrugged and continued,

"In fact, the motives and methods of crimes in most cases in mystery stories and unsolved mysteries in real life are not too complicated. However, due to the narrator and perspective, we cannot A spectator’s position, seeing the whole process of the case.”

"In reality, various changes in nature can cover up the evidence; in mystery stories, the author often misleads us, leaving us in a fog and unable to solve the mystery. "

"So, how much a mystery puzzle challenges the viewer's intelligence, and the sense of accomplishment after solving it, mainly depends on the narrator's level of mystery and misdirection——"

“Successful ones tend to be interesting to the viewer.”

"Coupled with some of the pretense of carelessness in the details, the viewer will have the thought when the puzzle is solved - this is it, how could I not have thought of it before - and this mystery story will be successful."

"And now, I plan to use a similar technique in "Sherlock Holmes"!"

Charlotte finally concluded.

Then, he looked at everyone,

"Any questions?"

"...There is no problem."

Robert Downey Jr. said weakly,

"It sounds very powerful, but it's not easy to achieve this effect, right?"

"certainly."

Charlotte nodded,

"So I said that the post-production work of this movie will be very troublesome! However, if there are no big problems, it should be possible to achieve the effect I want. However, Downey, in this regard, I also need some cooperation from you.”

"I!?"

Donnie pointed to his nose.

"Yes."

Charlotte smiled and said,

"Who asked you to play Sherlock Holmes? The reasoning work is all done from the perspective of Sherlock Holmes. In order to save the film time and also give the audience a "very powerful" feeling, you need to use a shorter voice when dubbing. Just speak fast."

"no problem!"

Downey readily agreed.

But he didn't know to what extent Charlotte's "faster speaking speed" would reach...
