[Comprehensive Classics] Detective Mary

Modern au: Assume that Mary takes Lao Fu back to the 21st century, and the two have settled down for a long time, and Lao Fu is used to contemporary life.

an afternoon.

When Sherlock Holmes returned from Scotland Yard, he saw Miss Mary Bennet sitting on the sofa holding a notebook and dancing her fingers.It took him a few seconds to determine the situation before he said, "You're arguing with someone on the Internet again, Miss Mary."

Mary: "... how do you know?"

Holmes: "You'd only be so engrossed when you're fighting on Twitter or writing a dissertation, but not when you're writing a dissertation."

Mary: "..."

She reached out and touched her face, and really reflected on whether she had a particularly ferocious expression when she quarreled on Twitter.

Seeing her blank and suspicious expression, Mr. Holmes hooked the corners of his mouth.He took off his coat jacket: "What happened?"

Mary: "It's nothing, you also know that Hollywood is going to restart the Luther series of movies recently."

"I remember the last remake of Chess Game wasn't very well received," Holmes said.

"I'm not surprised at all," Mary said calmly, "The story of Edmund Campbell was very fresh in the 90th century, but it appeared from the hippie movement to the [-]s of the last century, before criminal investigation technology was perfected. There are so many serial killers. If you don’t make innovations, what’s new if you remake a homicide story from a century ago? Jack the Ripper has been shot badly, and “Serial Killer Chess Game” is not perfect.”

"Especially the criminal investigation part that is the core of suspense novels."

"..." It's too straightforward!Mary is a little hurt.

Although when "Serial Killer Chess Game" was first published in the magazine, Sherlock Holmes had already made similar remarks.But if her work was directly criticized, even if Mary didn't care about other people's opinions, she still didn't want to listen to it.

But Mr. Holmes was not in a hurry, he changed the topic: "As a first novel, it doesn't matter if there are some shortcomings. Your subsequent serials are better than the last one."

That's more or less.

Mary immediately regained her spirits: "That's right, they said that they will remake "The King of Carnival" this time, and they will make innovations."

"Innovation?"

"Look." Mary didn't explain herself, but pushed the notebook in front of Mr. Holmes.

The detective took a closer look and saw that Mary's notebook was open to the latest news page.

——"The latest remake of the film and television version is caught in a casting storm, and it is rumored that Luther may be Idris Elba".

The dignified Sherlock Holmes naturally doesn't pay attention to the news in the entertainment industry, so he raised his eyebrows: "What's the problem?"

Mary pulled the page, and the news included a photo of a rumored male actor who might play Luther.Looking at the actor's dark skin, Holmes instantly understood.

"So," he said, "you spend the whole afternoon arguing with people about the color of the actor."

"I'm an author," Mary said angrily. "Back to modern times, it's fine to adapt my works under public copyright. There are still people arguing with me that Philip Luther should not be black?! Others can't, I think Yi Dris Elba is just the right fit!"

You must know that when Mary named the protagonist, the Luther of "Philip Luther" came from the British drama starring this actor!

If the actor himself plays the source of inspiration, Mary will be too happy, okay?

"As a result, those people on Twitter said," Mary was very upset, "How could there be African-American detectives in the [-]th century? This does not conform to the historical facts. But the movie clearly stated that the background will be moved to modern times! And there are ah."

Mary switched pages, and the two of them were presented with her Twitter account.

"The few white actors they listed," Mary muttered, "I am not satisfied with any of them. Although Philip's name comes from Inspector Philip Marlowe, he is indeed a white man. But how did these young fresh meat Something happened."

"You don't like the middle-aged actor in "Serial Killer Chess Game" either."

"……do not like."

Mary admitted reluctantly.

Seriously, Mary would rather have an African-American actor who played "Luther" in "The King of Carnival" than those popular candidates under the age of 35.

At least in Mary's heart, "Philip Luther" is spelled with the names of the two detectives. The latter has an established image, while the former... Mary really has no reliable casting, and it's not that she didn't think it would be suitable. However, based on Mary's understanding of Hollywood actors, she always felt that the ones she was familiar with were not suitable.

"never mind."

In the end, she turned off the page helplessly: "It doesn't matter what I say anyway, what's the use of arguing with people online."

Even if she still uses the name "Mary Bennet", but if she rushes to the investment side and says that she is the author who wrote and created in the Victorian era, she is afraid that she will be arrested and sent to a lunatic asylum.

It is a very lucky thing to be able to see her own works being put on the big and small screens several times. When she first watched a movie with Philip Luther as the protagonist, Mary felt really good.But what comes with this is the annoyance of seeing so many, so many people discussing my work, but not being able to admit that I am the author.

She felt a little depressed just thinking about it.Mary lay down on the sofa and couldn't help sighing.

Mr. Holmes calmly looked at her listless appearance, and suddenly said: "Arguing with someone on Twitter, how is your paper?"

Mary: "..."

It's really where it hurts the most.

Mary's head was about to explode at the mention of the thesis.

"My thesis direction is research on Mary Bennet's genre novels," Mary said loudly in disbelief as she rolled over, "After the opening report was submitted, the supervisor actually said that I didn't understand the class at all except that my name was the same as the author's." Miss Nutt and her Philip Luther'?! I don't understand?"

I don't know whether it was Mary's exaggerated expression, or the words sounded too funny, even Holmes couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Then," he stood up, put the notebook aside, and stretched out his hand to Mary who was spread out on the sofa, "You have to spend some time convincing your mentor, Miss Mary."

Mary also reached out and let Mr. Holmes pull her up: "And accept the fact that the casting of "The King of Carnival" may also be bad."

But fortunately, Mary only had to worry about the casting of "The King of Carnival" for a whole week.

When the real casting was announced, Mr. Holmes watched Miss Mary Bennet, who had been fighting with others a week ago because of "Philip Luther could be an African-American actor", publicly announced that he was very interested in the new version of "Carnival" The actor who played Luther in "The King" is very satisfied.

Sherlock Holmes: "...the actor who has been settled is a white actor."

Mary was very excited: "But this white actor is Matthew McConaughey, my God, I didn't think of it before."

Holmes: "So you are very satisfied with the actor."

"Mr. Holmes," Mary shook her head with a bright smile on her eyes, "you won't understand, there is no girl in this world who doesn't like Matthew McConaughey!"

The author has something to say: Mary: There is no girl in this world who doesn't like Matthew McConaughey!

Friends: But there is no girl in this world who doesn't like the 84 version of the old man Jeremy Brett!

Mary: But I have this old fortune :)

The train of thought is a bit stuck, let's temporarily put a chapter of the plot first.Didn’t many girls say before that Philip Luther will definitely be a big IP in the future, so let’s write a short film and television episode of "The King of Carnival".

Matthew McConaughey is the leading actor in "Dallas Buyers Club". With this film, he won the Oscar winner. He has acted in relatively few commercial films. He is famous for HBO's "True Detective" and Nolan's "Interstellar". A native of Texas, a cowboy among cowboys, a tough guy among tough guys in the west, Jiang Hua thinks he is one of the sexiest actors in the American South!But in fact, I think that if Luther’s casting should be white, my dream candidate is Woody Harrelson, the second sexiest actor in the southern United States, but... just like Mary said, there is no girl in this world who feels that Ma Handsome is inappropriate! ! !

Thank you everyone for the overlord ticket and nutrient solution, love you guys, I am so moved girls quq!
