The fact that Grace took over "Sherlock Holmes" and played 'Thewoman' Irene Adler in the film brought a lot of 'side effects'.

For example, as the model worker said before, and with the job Grace will be doing when her interest in acting drops from the peak to the lowest point-don't look at the "Sun" is not a serious newspaper, but its sales It is the highest in the UK, so the degree of discussion on this matter is still very high; another example is that this is a signal, there will be no signal of sexual transformation of Sherlock Holmes, or reverse appearance of Sherlock Holmes. Not long after it became popular, the crew of "Sherlock" issued an official statement, "Sherlock Holmes must be an actor", almost emphasizing that it is a male actor.

These have nothing to do with Grace. She has never cared about the outside world's evaluation of her, but there are exceptions to everything. Specifically, this exception is that Mr. Steven Moffat has... small emotions.

Grace only participated in the screenwriting work of "Sherlock" project, and she will further participate in the production when "Sherlock" starts filming, but this does not include Grace's appearance in this TV series. The BBC also hopes that Grace can participate in this TV series. For the rich and powerful BBC, the film salary is not a problem at all, but Grace has no intention.

Steven Moffat also felt that there was no suitable role, so the matter was left alone, but now Grace went to play "Sherlock Holmes", also adapted from "The Detective Collection of Sherlock Holmes" - Moffat Never mind that "Sherlock Holmes" is actually a comic book adaptation - he thinks it's unfair, and his reason is very unreasonable, anyway, it's only fair that Grace is also in "Sherlock".

So, there was another meeting after casting day, and this time the meeting took place on Baker Street.

Even more coincidentally, that was the day Downey strolled to Baker Street, the day the $500 portrait accident happened.

This accident, in detail, is as follows——

Grace turned into 'Jenny' first. She was working as a street performer outside 221B Baker Street. She waited for Steven Moffat to come over by the way. Unexpectedly, instead of waiting for Mr. Moffat, she waited for Mr. Downey. Ask her to paint a portrait with the background of the time and the special environment.

To be honest, Grace still doesn't know much about the entertainment industry until now, but this doesn't prevent her from interpreting that Downey is a star. Wouldn't it be possible for Downey to wear sunglasses when he was painting a self-portrait? When he came over, he put his index finger to his mouth and gave a "shush" to tell Grace to keep quiet.

Grace lowered her head and began to write, and said in a very casual and ordinary tone: "Sir, you are in Baker Street now. Is there any celebrity more famous than Mr. Holmes?"

Downey: "..." Be careful that I won't give you money after I finish painting!

I have to make a serious statement here. At the beginning, Grace asked for one hundred pounds for such a painting for Downey, which is almost two hundred dollars if converted into US dollars.

Downey was a little shocked at the moment: "Even if my request is high, your price is really not low. Well, tell me why you can charge such a high price?"

"Your request is to try not to feel disobedient, right?" Grace looked up at Downey.

Downey always felt that he was being despised. It must be an illusion, so he nodded, "Yeah."

Grace told him: "I can replicate the living room of 221B exactly."

Downey thought for a while and said, "I don't believe it. Besides, dear, even if you draw it, I have never been out of 221B Baker Street. Even if I have been, I can't remember whether you drew it completely correctly." Downey I would say that, not because he is stingy and can't even come up with two hundred dollars, but because he has the intention to tease this English girl, who made her act so ordinary, is he so unknown? ? Isn't the box office of "Iron Man" still okay in the UK?Besides, he debuted as a child actor. Although he has a lot of dark history in the past, this girl's attitude can't be so normal.

"You can go to 221B for comparison after I finish drawing, sir."

Downey flattened his mouth: "Since you said so."

So at first Downey could refuse to be taken advantage of, he only needed to pay two hundred dollars, but he wanted to spend his money really, so after Grace finished the painting, the two of them lined up to enter 221B , It took about half an hour back and forth, and Downey had to admit that the painting was not bad, and he was not wronged by spending two hundred dollars.

But when Downey paid the money, Grace still had the same calm tone: "So you questioned my memory and painting skills, and delayed me for half an hour, and you still only gave me a hundred pounds, right? ,gentlemen?"

Donnie himself felt embarrassed when he heard this, so he thought about it and took out another hundred dollars.

Grace said again: "Do you know how many pounds I can make in half an hour, sir? I can work it out for you."

The result of Grace's 'calculation' was that Downey gave her another two hundred dollars, and the total was five hundred dollars. You must know that the ticket for 221B Baker Street is less than ten dollars.

In the process, one man's jaw nearly dropped.Remember that Mr. Moffat appointment with Grace?He came over to Baker Street, and it didn't take him long to recognize Grace, after all, Grace was dressed in the same way as when they first met in the cafe.It's just that Steven Moffat didn't expect that Grace and Robert Downey Jr. would match up just like that, and he also watched how Grace tricked Downey the whole time, and he was just dumbfounded.

After Downey left, Steven Moffat carefully approached Grace: "You know he's going to work with you next, G?"

"I know now," Grace blinked. In fact, Grace had noticed it when Downey asked for such an unconventional self-portrait, but now she was sure. "So?"

Steven Moffat: "...As long as you're happy." Anyway, he wasn't the one who was unlucky this time, and besides, he didn't think Robert Downey Jr. would notice it, and he looked quite deceptive.Inexplicably, Steven Moffat began to sympathize with the crew of "Sherlock Holmes".

This accident is almost like this. Regarding Grace's guest appearance in "Sherlock", they still discussed it, but since their script for the first season has already been polished, if they want to make a guest appearance, they can only wait until It's the second season, and this matter is not so urgent - it can be seen that Downey's experience has touched Mr. Moffat quite a bit.

……

"Detective Sherlock Holmes" is scheduled to be officially launched on October 2008, 10. Grace's scenes will be filmed intensively, which was discussed by Sterling and Warner beforehand.It is worth mentioning that Sterling regretted it after signing the contract. He seems to have really carried the title of "vampire agent", and it is still not worthwhile, because Warner only paid Grace $3 million at most. It's really not that Warner is stingy, but unfortunately encountered an economic crisis. The salaries of Hollywood actors have collectively shrunk, and Grace's salary is no exception. Just like Downey, his salary is only 400 million US dollars.

Also, the 400 million dollars is not something that Sterling can get. As Grace's agent, he can only take a cut of her salary, so for the 400 million dollars, he becomes a vampire. What a bargain... a ball!

However, Sterling's slender arms couldn't twist Grace's 'thigh'. He saw that Grace didn't want to be idle at all, and was quite interested in filming "Sherlock Holmes", so let her go.And Sterling turned around and had to go to negotiate with Sony and the crew of "Suspicious Child Abuse". Screenings are on, and then it's December, which is the awards season, and this time Sterling is ambitious to push Grace further... In this way, there is really no free time.

Anyway, Grace is in the group.

Regarding the focus on filming Grace's scene first, the crew also got the news in advance. No matter what they think, no one will raise objections on the surface anyway, but Downey teased Grace unceremoniously: "You are so Being a model worker won't really be like the media guessed, the interest in acting will reach its peak, and then it will drop rapidly after it's over, right? If this is the case, I don't think you should be an actor anymore, you can become a painter." Downey And it's on par with the $[-] self-portrait.

Grace turned to look at him.

Downey shrugged. "I mean you're great at drawing. Seriously, where did you learn that?" Isn't she a scientist?There is no need to be so versatile, right?

"You said," Grace began, "that my doctoral advisor in psychology was also an excellent surgeon."

Donnie pondered over Grace's words, and felt that the first half of her sentence meant that he said she was good at painting, but he didn't understand the second half of the sentence.Mr. Downey didn't understand, so he asked: "He is an excellent surgeon, what does it have to do with your drawing skills?"

"I have studied human anatomy with him for a period of time, which has benefited me a lot." After Grace said so lightly, she went to the dressing room to put on makeup. Although "Sherlock Holmes" is not based on the original book, the time background It is still in the Victorian period, and Grace’s appearance is a bit more complicated than the modern films she made before. In this way, "Sherlock Holmes" is still Grace's first period drama. If the background is the 60s "Growing Education " and "Suspicious Child Abuse" count.

Downey: "..." Although he was able to further connect with the relationship between Huahua and the surgeon, why did Grace's words that benefited him inexplicably make him feel a chill down his spine, probably in London now? It’s probably because the weather is too cold, but you can still enjoy the warm sunshine in Los Angeles now.

—Well, Grace will get along with Donnie.
