Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 601 The Imitation Game

However, no matter what Charlotte's plan is, he has no chance of implementing it in the short term.

On the contrary, "Detective Sherlock Holmes" continues to maintain its own magical record in the UK——

Another serial killer surrendered to the police at New Scotland Yard after watching this movie, and died suddenly shortly thereafter.

——This is naturally what Charlotte did after eliminating Jack the Ripper.

But the media and the public don’t know.

Such gimmicky news will naturally further increase the popularity of "Detective Sherlock Holmes".

Currently, the movie's box office in North America has reached an astonishing US$300 million, and it has only been released for two weeks.

And overseas markets are also booming in various ways——

Not to mention the UK, even in France, where the movie was released before and after, "Sherlock Holmes" performed very well, immediately taking the top spot at the box office this week.

According to predictions from professional box office research organizations, the North American box office of this movie is likely to be more than 500 million US dollars, and the global box office is very likely to exceed 1 billion.

It can be said that unless there is another "Titanic" in 2000, the annual box office champion in both North America and the world will definitely be "Sherlock Holmes".

This kind of box office performance naturally made everyone involved in the movie go to heaven in an instant——

Not to mention Charlotte as a director, among the actors, Robert Downey Jr. has transformed from a famous stinky shit addict in Hollywood to a model of a prodigal son;

And Jude Law, who originally only relied on selling his face, has greatly increased his popularity and is in the limelight for a while;

Even Nicole Kidman, who does not have as many roles as the two male protagonists, has greatly improved her commercial appeal because of her role as Irene Adler. .

Many people have fallen in love with this charming Australian girl because of this. Her "Moulin Rouge" was also a hit before it was released...

For this reason, Nicole Kidman also called Charlotte to express her gratitude.

At the same time, she also gave Charlotte a project——

"Little Island", this thriller movie Nicole was originally prepared to star in.

However, in order to catch up with the schedule of "Sherlock Holmes", she finally gave up the script that imitated "The Sixth Sense".

And because Nicole was originally the leader of the script, and one of the investors included Tom Cruise, who had a complicated relationship with her - once Nicole gave up, the entire film project was naturally shut down.

Now, after the success of "Sherlock Holmes" and the confirmation of starring in "Moulin Rouge", Nicole Kidman has completely given up on "Little Island".

But on the other hand, Nicole really felt that it was a good story and it would be a pity not to let it be published, so she recommended it to Charlotte.

As for this story, Charlotte, as a time traveler, naturally knows it.

——In his original world, this can be regarded as one of Nicole Kidman’s masterpieces.

Now, since the original owner recommended it to him, he is not polite.

Of course, he won't be filming this story himself, but as a new project for Spectre Studios, there is no problem.

*******

In fact, although "Sherlock Holmes" was a box office success, the related work is not yet over.

On the contrary, because of the box office success, some chain problems have arisen.

——Of course, it’s basically a good thing.

First of all, because Charlotte used IMAX technology in "Sherlock Holmes", with the success of the movie, this non-mainstream technology in the eyes of Hollywood filmmakers has gradually become popular.

As a result, IMAX's stock price soared, and as the company's majority shareholder, Charlotte also made a lot of money.

However, what Charlotte is more concerned about is that because of this incident, he gained control of the IMAX company.

——This allows him to use this company that specializes in film technology to realize some of his ideas.

Of course, this may take a while. And currently, riding on the box office success of "Sherlock Holmes," the game of the same name produced by Spectre Studio is also on sale.

The sales of the game are very good. Many movie viewers bought this game because they were nostalgic for London at the end of the 19th century after watching the movie. The characters and scenes in the game that are similar to those in the movie make everyone feel like they have really returned to that time. Weird and fascinating times.

The plot of the game itself is also quite interesting——

"So, unlike in the movie, in the game, besides Earl Blackwood, there are other hidden murderers?"

In the living room of Sheldon and Leonard's house, Emily asked Leonard while playing the game "Sherlock Holmes".

Leonard nodded,

"Yes, unlike movies, there are multiple endings in the game - the endings played are different, the criminals found are also different, and I even played a hidden ending where black magic really exists ——Honestly, it’s quite interesting!”

"Yeah!?"

Emily was also quite interested in this.

While controlling the characters in the game, she chatted with Leonard next to her until——

"Emily, why did you kill me!?"

Leonard looked at the big word "DEAD" on the screen in front of him, with a confused look on his face.

And Emily giggled,

"Actually, I'm an undercover agent."

What they are playing is the multiplayer online mode of "Detective Sherlock Holmes".

Emily is very interested in this game, but because she spent too much money to play some time ago, she has not had time to buy the game this time.

It happened that Sheldon and Leonard bought it, so Emily decided to try it out.

Then, she was dragged by the four otakus to play in the multiplayer online mode.

——Penny and Jaina were also playing together.

The game "Detective Sherlock Holmes" has been released in both console and computer versions, and the two can be interconnected online. This allows seven people to play in one room.

Although all seven of them are novices, Emily still finds the cooperation, betrayal, and attacks between each other very interesting in the multiplayer online mode.

No, she just killed Leonard once as an undercover agent.

——This is also the seventh time Leonard has been killed as a detective.

"Give up, Leonard!"

Sheldon, who was using another machine not far away, was still doing last-minute damage in a serious manner.

"When you play the role of Sherlock Holmes, the mortality rate is 100%, but when you play Dr. Watson, you can basically win. You should realize that that role is more suitable for you..."

"Are you saying that I'm more suitable for supporting and complaining roles?"

Leonard looked helpless.

This made Emily look helpless——

"Dude, it's just a game. Why not rise to such a high level as your position in life!?"

Emily feels that brainstorming is really not a good habit...
