[Comprehensive Classics] Detective Mary

It turns out that Mary's hunch was right.

Going back to the 21st century—not the 21st century she came from, but the 21st century of this fandom world, Mary ushered in an adaptation of Philip Luther, the "big ip".The adaptation is Mary's debut novel "Serial Killer Chess Game", but the response is indeed mostly negative.

Detective novels often create a very successful detective image, and Philip Luther is no exception, which also created a group of quite loyal "Lutherians".Although "Serial Killer Chess Game" claims to try its best to restore the original plot, it can't even be considered satisfactory in terms of presenting the results.

Some people say that the script is rough, some people say that the casting is wrong, and some people say that the adaptation method is just a complete copy of the original work and loses its essence.In short, if the criticism of a movie is greater than the appreciation, then you can always find faults in any aspect of the work.

As an author, Mary herself is much gentler on the adaptation.

The image of Philip Luther itself is a fusion of the images of two famous detectives. You can't find two actors to play one person, can you?And she also understands that her first work has a lot of flaws, and the original plot itself has problems. If she wants to restore it completely without making changes, it is understandable that the plot will appear lame.

But even so, Mary didn't like the last edition of "Serial Killer Chess Game" very much.

Unlike those diehard fans who wrote small papers angrily, she simply felt that the casting was inappropriate.So when rumors spread that Idris Elba, one of Philip Luther's prototypes, was going to play Luther himself, Marie was quite happy.

Of course, it wasn't him who chose the role in the end, but it gave Mary a pleasant surprise, and she didn't mind.

Moreover, Mary personally thinks that "The King of Carnival" is more suitable for adaptation into a movie.

For the concept of serial killer, she moved the concept of the future to the Victorian period by virtue of her golden fingers, which can be said to be "cheating" in essence.Nouns that have never appeared appeared earlier, so it is naturally a fairly new concept. However, in the contemporary era, after experiencing the madness of the late [-]th century, serial murderers are not a rare thing.

There are so many suspenseful reasoning stories, and "Serial Killer Chess Game" is just one of them.

But "King of Carnival" is different.

The theme of Pluto's story is closer to the reality of people's life-that is, advertising marketing.

The life of pt Barnum itself is full of legends, and his public relations level has been included in the textbooks of public relations. Even if it is used as a negative teaching material, it still has historical value.

In the 21st century, public relations has become an important theme in contemporary society. "The King of Carnival" has already announced the news before casting, saying that this time the adaptation will move the background of the story to the contemporary era.This is tantamount to giving the screenwriter greater autonomy, and it can better fit the theme of "carnival".

Most importantly, this version starring Philip Luther is Matthew McConaughey!

Mary, who walked out of the movie theater, could hardly control the happy smile on her face.

She solemnly took out the movie ticket stub, took a serious look, and put it away solemnly.Seeing her satisfied look, Mr. Holmes said, "It seems that you are really satisfied with this adaptation."

Mary: "Yeah."

Holmes: "Well, how do you feel?"

Without thinking, Mary said, "Matthew McConaughey is as handsome as I thought!"

Holmes: "..."

Even the great detective Sherlock Holmes, who has insight into people's hearts, can't help but show a look that he can't bear to look directly at.He glanced sideways at the lady beside him, and seeing that she really didn't mean to be joking, he withdrew his gaze: "I didn't expect that."

"what?"

"Unexpectedly, when there is a great imbalance in the adaptation of the script," Holmes said, "you don't even notice it."

Ok.

It sounds like Mr. Holmes isn't too happy with this version of the adaptation.

At that time, before the serialization of "The King of Carnival" ended, because Mr. Barnum himself re-published the story, he rescheduled a world tour according to the serial plot, and Blackwood's Illuminati suddenly bribed the magazine's insiders to announce Philip Luther's true identity is Mary—under these two news, the quality of the work itself has long been covered up by the almost simultaneous bombardment of public opinion inside and outside the story.

After all, the story is a carnival, and while the serialization is extremely relevant, the reality also proves that the story has launched a "carnival" of public opinion.This incident alone is enough to reflect the theme that Mary wants to express.

That is to say, in a closed public relations environment, right and wrong will appear insignificant, what people want is nothing more than a lively circus performance, a carnival, and what people see and want to see can only be provided by the carnival maker .

Mary's point of view comes from the present age, and the development of society to the present age reflects Mary's point of view.

Therefore, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who is well versed in Mary's creative thinking, did not give too many objections when serializing "The King of Carnival".In his view, since Mary's story does not focus on reasoning, then it is not a reasoning story.She presents her point of view perfectly, and there's not much in that work that deserves special criticism.

Moreover, Mary also felt that detectives were not very interested in such stories.

But Mr. Holmes, who is not very interested now, actually directly expressed his dissatisfaction with the film adaptation?This was beyond Mary's expectation.

She suddenly regained her spirits: "So, what do you think is lacking?"

"The screenwriters didn't fully realize your motivation," Holmes said firmly. "First of all, they wanted to show the difference between Philip Luther and other tough-guy detectives too much. You only occasionally named him and his dead wife in the original work. In "The King of Carnival", it is also expressed in a few strokes of wishing that he and his wife have offspring, but the movie forcefully flashes back and directly describes the scenes of the two getting along, destroying the unspoken beauty."

"But the love story is pretty good." Mary said happily.

Holmes glanced at her and continued to analyze: "Secondly, while drawing a love story in an unnecessary way, and at the same time, in order to create a commercial selling point, Pluto was deliberately mentioned as the second leading actor. It is true that detective stories with two protagonists are popular nowadays, but It is not suitable for Philip Luther. Your original intention is to weaken the role of the circus owner and focus on the image of the circus members, which can be described as putting the cart before the horse."

"The members of the circus are also very cute," Mary retorted. "I really like the girl who plays the trapeze lady. She has a good figure and bright eyes."

"the most important is."

The detective disapprovingly talked about the important issue: "As far as Philip Luther himself is concerned, he has almost labeled his identity as a tough guy detective. A few 'tough guy' labels will indeed leave a deep impression on people, but Lost the real portrayal. Not a decisive, celibate, affectionate man is Philip Luther. Enhancing the labels would add drama, but contrary to your original intention, "King of Carnival" is a critique of such crude presentation, and That's what the movie itself does, and it seems to me that recreators just don't get your point."

Having said that, Mary still kept smiling and looked at him with shining eyes.

Holmes: "..."

The four eyes met, and the detective immediately understood Mary's attitude.

"So, even if you understand the problems of various aspects," he said, "you are still very satisfied with this work."

"What I'm satisfied with is the casting."

Mary made no secret of her admiration for the actor: "I've said it all, which girl doesn't like Matthew McConaughey?"

Our famous detective sends his female companion an incomprehensible look.

He sneered a few times: "Of course, when emotions are high, ladies tend to use emotions to measure everything in the world. I always thought you were an exception, 'Miss Mary', it seems that I misjudged you."

"If you think so, I won't argue," Mary said with a smile, "The "King of Carnival" does have many shortcomings, and everything you say is reasonable, sir. However, in my opinion, wanting to completely It is impossible to restore the essence of the original work and make it extremely exciting. This is my responsibility, as well as the responsibility of the re-creator you mentioned. Please don’t use the standards of independent films to measure it. This "King of Carnival" has already It’s a qualified genre movie.”

"I think the reason you make such an evaluation is because you are satisfied with the casting."

"of course."

Mary said as a matter of course: "Although I personally do not agree to directly write Philip Luther's love story-to write about his deep feelings for his dead wife, the next story of "The King of Carnival" is more suitable. My request is not Gao, sir, but what mother wouldn't want to see her son handsome, charming, attractive to men, and having a consummate and profound love?"

Holmes paused for a moment, then turned his head again and looked Mary up and down.

"You mean," he said, "that Philip Luther is your own blood in your heart."

"Is not it?"

Mary asked back: "I created him with my own hands, watched him become famous and left in the history of literature. Philip Luther is my blood, and now they have picked such a handsome actor to play my 'son' , I am so happy!"

Holmes: "..."

Mary continued to speak enthusiastically: "So, what else do you think is wrong with the movie, sir?"

"It's nothing."

Sherlock Holmes remained expressionless: "Since you like it so much, Miss Mary, according to what you said, measured by the standard of genre movies, the adaptation of "The King of Carnival" is very successful. gone."

Mary: "Okay then."

She smiled and let go of this topic, and took Mr. Holmes's arm: "Let's go, I'm a little hungry. In order to celebrate the success of my son's work, let's eat outside tonight, sir."

Holmes suddenly reacted.

He glanced at Mary: "You did it on purpose."

Mary: "What?"

Sherlock Holmes: "Praise actors on purpose."

—Otherwise, where would one enjoy the jealousy of Mr. Sherlock Holmes!

After making a joke about being executed in public, Mary was refreshed after walking out of the theater. She was able to win a round in front of Holmes, and she will be in a good mood for the next week!

The author has something to say: In fact, Miss He Lai Resonance also provided a very cute little side story, saying that she wanted to see the scene where the single old man in the normal Sherlock Holmes world came through after the old man and Mary got married hhh it is so cute!

When we chatted just now, I was in a slightly drunk state and I couldn’t conceive, and I was married. I will write after the main text is over!Everyone must remember to remind me, it's so cute!
