[American Entertainment] Bright life

After Sterling and the producer of "Sherlock Holmes" Joe Silver said such embarrassing words, the two did not fall into an awkward and speechless situation. They just laughed dryly, Joe Silver reacted and said: "Just kidding, in fact, I called you just to inquire about Dr. Green's schedule. If possible, I hope we can cooperate in "Sherlock Holmes" .”

Sterling couldn't help raising his eyebrows. Although the other party said so, he didn't take it seriously. He said that Grace's schedule is here. It is obvious that Grace's strength in the UK has made headlines, and all the hot searches have spread to the United States. Warner It is probably because of this incident that they knew that Grace's schedule was vacant.

The space is empty, but it is already mid-September, and "Quantum of Solace" will be released globally in early November, so Sterling doesn't think it would be appropriate to arrange another movie shooting in the middle.

In addition, Sterling is still in contact with the head of Columbia Pictures.It is not particularly appropriate to say that it is a contact, and the contact is the spy movie that Sterling had thought of before.Tom Cruise has officially decided to withdraw from this project, and Columbia Films also has the intention of changing Tom Cruise's original role to a woman, but their best candidate is Angelina Zhu Li.In fact, they're currently considering Angelina Jolie.

Thinking of this, Sterling didn't immediately reject the producer of "Sherlock Holmes", he thought they could talk first.

The director of "Sherlock Holmes" has been confirmed so far, Guy Ritchie.His self-written and directed debut "Two Smoking Barrels" shocked the film industry, but in the United States, he is most famous not for the works he directed, but for his other identity, the ex-husband of the queen Madonna, they The marriage of the couple has aroused widespread concern in the United States.

In addition to the director identified early on, the world-famous detective Sherlock Holmes will be played by Robert Downey Jr.

When Sterling heard this, the first thing he thought of was not the works or life of Robert Downey Jr., but the height of the other party.This definitely didn't mean to black Robert Downey Jr., it was definitely targeted, given the height of his client.What's interesting is that in the past few movies, the actors who have a relationship with Grace have some shortcomings in height.Leaving aside, let’s just talk about Daniel Craig, the sixth Bond actor, in the follow-up trailer released by MGM, he looks...suffering in front of Grace in terms of height and aura.

Don't ask how Sterling knows such adjectives, I can only say that the online world is full of wonders.

Now let’s get back to the topic, not to mention the topic of Robert Downey Jr.’s height, but the topic of him being an actor.Many people in Hollywood know that Robert Downey Jr. is now a prodigal son and "the dead tree is in spring". His previous dark history has followed this year's global box office of [-] million, and the North American box office is also the top box office in North America so far. The Iron Man is a thing of the past.

Having said so much, I haven't mentioned the role that the "Sherlock Holmes" crew wants Grace to play.Oh, it's "Thewoman" Irene Adler, the only woman Holmes identifies with in the original book, and she only appears in the case of "A Scandal in Bohemia" in the original book.Obviously, the movie "Sherlock Holmes" is not only not adapted from Conan Doyle's original work, but also adds an extra appearance to Irene Adler-Sterling does not think that the crew of "Sherlock Holmes" If you want to invite Grace to play, you will only want to provide her with a soy sauce role, even though Irene Adler is the only woman rumored to have defeated Holmes.

In fact, this is also the case. Joe Silver, the producer of "Sherlock Holmes", said convincingly: "In this movie, Irene Adler is definitely the heroine."

Sterling does not doubt the authenticity of this sentence, but the word heroine is relative to the roles of supporting actresses. It is very likely that her roles are not as good as supporting actors. Please don't forget the great detective Roommate and partner John Watson.

However, Sterling did not refuse at the moment. He just asked about the shooting schedule of "Sherlock Holmes" and said that he would discuss it with his client.

In this regard, Joe Silver expressed his full understanding, but he also hopes that Sterling can give him a letter of approval as soon as possible.

In fact, Warner had also selected candidates before this. Coincidentally, at this time, Grace appeared in London in a relaxed suit, and she still had free time to act in a drama. Warner's production executives suggested that she come. starred.One Robert Downey Jr. is not enough, then adding Grace Green, who is popular and attracts attention at the box office, is bound to bring more box office guarantees to "Sherlock Holmes".In addition, Grace's high IQ traits will also make this movie about Sherlock Holmes more convincing.

So Warner's intention here is to try their best to win, if they can't win, they still have other candidates.

To a certain extent, this is similar to Sterling's attitude towards this film contract: it's okay to accept it, or not to accept it, anyway, Grace has the final say.

As for the previous principle of not bearing the title of "vampire agent", hehe, after experiencing the NAS and espionage incidents, Sterling has completely disregarded it, or "broken the can and smashed it".

Before Sterling left for London, he called Grace. As soon as he said he had a new script on his side, Grace said, "I'll take it."

Sterling had question marks all over his head: "I haven't said anything yet, or did Joe Silver contact you?"

Grace still said in her usual tone: "I assume that the Mr. Silver you mentioned is the producer of the script in your hand. The answer is no."

"Or do you already know what the script looks like—" Sterling deeply felt that this possibility was too mysterious, so he stopped before he finished speaking, and asked what he really wanted to ask, "You don't even know the script?" Didn’t watch it, didn’t even know your role yet, so you just said you were going to take it?”

"Why not? Didn't you choose it, Derek?" When Grace said this, Sterling rolled his eyes without hesitation. It's not that he didn't believe Grace's words, well, he really did I don't believe Grace's words now, who asked her to call his Christian name in a voice that was a little sweeter.Sterling thought for a while, and asked with a tangled tone: "Don't tell me, after you provoked the NSA, you started a passionate cooperation with MI6? Or you accidentally punctured the disguise of an MI6 agent, otherwise Is Nina played in Scotland Yard? Or, what's new this time?"

After Sterling finished speaking bluntly, he waited for about ten seconds before Grace spoke. He said angrily, "Speak!"

Grace replied casually: "I'm waiting for you to continue to give examples, to see how far your imagination can diverge."

Sterling sneered: "Interesting?"

Grace asked him with some doubts: "Are you asking me, or are you simply expressing your current mood?"

Sterling was a bit like hitting the spring with a fist. The 'spring' wasn't hurt, but he was punched back. It took him ten seconds to calm down, and he said in a calm voice, "Anyway, you are Don't plan to tell me why you took on the new script without saying anything, right?"

"Nope." Grace refused very simply. As for the reason, it may be nothing to others. It is not that there are "secret activities" as Sterling said, but that she was in London recently and received too much from Mr. Wood. Love it, literally.By the way, it has been a year since the last failed 'blind date', and this time the old man wants to 'make a comeback' again.So, the reasons add up to about the same.

Sterling followed suit without saying a word. Of course, he didn't reply to Warner's letter immediately. The other party wanted Grace to give an answer as soon as possible, but it wasn't so fast—Grace didn't even read the script. Although it doesn't take long for her to read a script.

However, in any case, since Grace has agreed, she will not go back on her word.

When Sterling brought the script to her, she said one word after reading it: "Good."

Then, gone.

Sterling couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "'good'? Is this what you think? May I know what kind of tendentious word this is? It means really good, or is it really 'chic' the meaning of?"

"Hmm——" Grace dragged her tone and turned her head to look at Sterling. "You've seen it beforehand, right? Then come and tell me your own thoughts."

Sterling was expressionless: "Why?"

Grace said solemnly: "You know that when I'm acting, I always reshape the character's personality, so I need different opinions from different people to make the personality traits I create more full and closer to the public."

"Do you think I can't hear your overtones, Dr. Green?" Sterling said with a sneer.

"You can." Grace said confidently after finishing speaking, "So, what do you think?"

Sterling: "...What you need to know is that it is not based on "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes", but an adaptation of an American comic. Of course, the adaptation prototype of this comic is "The Collection of Sherlock Holmes", But now, Warner wants to be as faithful as possible to the original work, I mean "Detective Sherlock Holmes"." After this change, Sterling felt entangled for the crew of "Sherlock Holmes".

"Then?" Grace seemed to be listening with gusto.

Sterling felt that he couldn't resist, so he began to talk about his own feelings: "The Sherlock Holmes here is not like the Sherlock Holmes in my impression in many ways, and when it highlights the detective link, it also highlights it. It's an action movie with a lot of fighting scenes in it. Also, I don't know if it's my illusion, but I always feel that the relationship between Holmes and Watson is not particularly pure."

Grace rested her chin on her hand and said, "You mean gay complex?"

"What do you think? But the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and Irene in the script is also very subtle. I think they are not married. Irene is actually mentioned in the original book. Watson thinks that Holmes is not interested in Irene. Adler has some feelings that are close to love... If you think about what I do, can I not watch "The Sherlock Holmes"? Since you have no intention of going back on your word, then I will go talk to Warner about your contract Yes, I will also discuss the schedule with them, and try not to conflict with the promotion period of "Quantum of Solace"."

Just as Sterling originally thought, in "Sherlock Holmes", Irene Adler is indeed the heroine, but her role is really not much, because in it, there are women worth mentioning The roles are only Irene Adler, and Watson's fiancée Mary.However, there are not many scenes, and the character setting is still brilliant, and in this way, the time required for filming will not be too much, it seems that two weeks is enough.

After everything is settled, the creators of "Sherlock Holmes" will have a more formal meeting in London.
