Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 545 Who is the third party?

In fact, Charlotte did it deliberately when she talked about the issue of "gay corruption" with the two male protagonists.

His essential purpose is not to entertain the two.

——Both Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law are acting for the first time, and they still have the basic ability to understand scripts.

What's more, the story of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" does not require very high acting skills from the actors.

As a director, Charlotte needs the actors to use their own characteristics and give the characters the maximum charm without violating the plot, so that the audience can like them.

——The struggle of human nature, discussion of the philosophy of love, etc. are not needed in this kind of commercial blockbuster.

What's more, Charlotte is not a fresh-faced director to begin with.

The reason why he used the topic to talk about the relationship between Holmes and Watson was actually just because he discovered that the relationship between Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law was not so harmonious in private.

——This is actually a normal thing.

After all, if there are two male protagonists in a movie, who has more roles and who has less roles will always cause disputes.

Although the male actors are not like the female actors who often stage fights, they actually have a lot of private conflicts.

Although Downey and Jude Law can't reach that level, it is difficult to say that they have a harmonious relationship in a complete sense.

You know, in the eyes of Jude Law, Robert Downey Jr. is a drug addict who has been in jail and has been ruined, and he himself is a rising star in Hollywood;

And what about Downey?

After all, Downey has been nominated for an Oscar. In his eyes, Jude Law is just a youngster.

——The two of them dislike each other somewhat.

Of course, on the surface, they are still doing a good job, at least most people can't see any signs of disharmony.

Unfortunately, they met Charlotte.

In front of a master of deception like Charlotte, their level is not enough at all.

Charlotte easily saw the problem between the two.

He also knows that this kind of situation is actually very common in reality - let alone Hollywood stars, even in ordinary companies, colleagues are secretly fighting each other while openly smiling and cooperating!

Anyway, with Charlotte's current prestige, neither Downey nor Jude Law would dare to cause trouble in his crew.

If it were any other movie, he wouldn't care about it.

The problem is that "Sherlock Holmes" is still a Sherlock Holmes detective movie.

In addition to whether the plot of the case is exciting, whether the chemical reaction between Holmes and Watson is exciting will directly affect the audience's feelings.

——This is as important as the chemical reaction between the male and female protagonists in a love movie.

Although Charlotte believes that with the acting skills of Downey and Jude Law, they can achieve a certain level of effect.

But he still wanted a more natural feel if possible.

Therefore, he planned to find ways to adjust the relationship between the two and activate the chemical reaction between them.

However, having said that, if two people with conflicting interests become friends, it is definitely not a problem that can be solved by shaking hands.

After all, we are no longer kindergarten children.

Fortunately, as a master of deception, Charlotte knows enough about people's hearts.

He is prepared to subtly strengthen the friendship between Downey and Jude Law through empathic reactions.

To put it simply, he planned to put the two of them into some special dilemmas from time to time, so that they would have the same sense of helplessness and sympathize with each other. In this way, the relationship between the two would slowly become harmonious, and eventually reach the point where The effect Charlotte wanted.

This is actually the same reason that common enemies can promote relationships between people.

——Just like Sino-US relations, the most harmonious era was the period when the former Soviet Union was the most powerful!

Charlotte brought up the topic of "basic corruption" this time.

In fact, it is an experiment.

——So far, the effect seems to be pretty good.

**********

Of course, if you want to make "Sherlock Holmes" successfully, you don't just have to rely on the two male protagonists to sell their talents.

After all, it is the last word that the movie is good enough.

Because the design of the action scenes is relatively complex, and the exterior scenes require a lot of layout and green screen technology, Charlotte's plan this time is to complete the shooting of the indoor drama first, and then tackle the more difficult technical scenes.

——This is why as soon as the filming started, they filmed the scene where Holmes meets Watson's fiancée Mary Morstan for the first time.

Such indoor scenes are easy to shoot and require almost no technical means. They are the best plot fragments to guide the actors into gradually entering the scene.

Of course, this is based on the storyline of "Sherlock Holmes". In the original work of "The Sherlock Holmes", Holmes first met Mary Morstan in the story of "The Sign of Four".

——To a certain extent, Holmes can even be said to be the matchmaker between Mary Morstan and Dr. Watson.

However, in the movie, such a plot is naturally abandoned.

In the script, the relationship between Holmes, Watson and Mary Morstan has been subtly adjusted.

Rachel Weisz, who was invited by Charlotte to play Mary Morstan, felt this most deeply——

"Why do I feel like I'm the third party intervening?"

During a break in filming, the British Rose, who is currently very popular, joked to Downey and Jude Law because of "The Mummy".

Both men were a little embarrassed.

Together, they cast their eyes unnaturally at the director who was staring at the monitor, which made Rachel want to laugh even more.

——In fact, Rachel teasing the two of them like this now was also Charlotte's request.

Although Rachel Weisz didn't know why, she still carried out the request of the director who made her famous to the letter.

And so far, it seems to be very interesting.

——The plot currently being filmed by the three is actually the first time Watson introduced his fiancée Mary Morstan to Holmes. As a result, Holmes deliberately used some specious reasoning to imply to Watson that Mary Morstan was not a good match.

Such a situation naturally ended with the three of them breaking up on bad terms.

But this kind of plot reveals the problem of the relationship between Watson and Holmes in the movie to the greatest extent——

Dr. Watson is about to start a family, but Holmes is somewhat opposed to it out of reluctance and subtle jealousy.

The cases in the movie are also carried out in this atmosphere of "the last case of Holmes and Watson's cooperation"... ()
