Chatty Hollywood

In fact, even Nicole Kidman herself did not expect that her character, Irene Adler, could bring out her feminine charm to this extent on the big screen.

Only now did Nicole realize why many people said that Charlotte Booth is one of the best directors in Hollywood who is good at photographing women.

"It's a pity that he is not as carefree as that old man Woody Allen, otherwise..."

Nicole thought about it for a while, and she somewhat understood why many young actresses were envious and jealous of Charlize Theron.

——Occupying such an important resource but not sharing it with everyone is naturally hateful.

However, Nicole didn’t have any other ideas——

After all, not to mention her commercial appeal, she is also relatively high among Hollywood actresses in terms of popularity.

If "Sherlock Holmes" succeeds at the box office this time, then Nicole plans to pursue the title of Oscar-winning actress.

——In terms of Oscars, Charlotte, a giant in the field of commercial films, can provide much less help.

After all, he himself has not won the statuette yet!

For female stars, Oscars are more important than male stars.

The title of actress not only means fame, but also higher pay and more expensive and stylish endorsements.

——If nothing else, Dior perfume is famous for seeking endorsements from Oscar-winning actresses.

Nicole Kidman had heard that Dior was in contact with Charlize's agent shortly after she won the Oscar for Best Actress.

Although it may not be possible to negotiate quickly, it is obvious that becoming an Oscar-winning actress is also a shortcut to making a fortune.

——So, although Nicole is a little envious of Charlotte's thigh, considering her future plans, she doesn't plan to do anything proactively.

Of course, this does not mean that she does not attach importance to the box office and reputation of "Sherlock Holmes".

In fact, how the market responds to this commercial blockbuster directly determines whether Nicole will further pursue Oscar honors after proving her box office appeal, or whether she will completely fail in the commercial field and have to make a desperate move at the Oscars.

——There is a world of difference between the two.

Because of this, Nicole is still quite nervous now.

However, judging from the current reaction of the audience in the screening hall, the possibility of "Detective Sherlock Holmes" being successful is very high——

Most of the audience was immersed in the plot and could not extricate themselves. Nicole even found that not far from her, there was a thin middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses. He was so excited while watching the movie that he suddenly shrank. He had a drink cup in his hand, but he didn't even notice the drink spilled on him.

"It's as if everyone is attracted by the movie!"

Nicole sighed.

*********

However, Nicole Kidman didn't know that although the middle-aged man she saw was watching the movie with great concentration, his perspective was different——

Billy was on Lord Blackwood's side.

This is not because of his unique personality or anything, but purely because of his responsibilities.

——Billy’s full name is Billy Huntington, and he is a serial killer.

Of course, so far, he has not been caught by the FBI.

Billy acted cautiously, leaving no clues for the police except for a few unsolved cases.

He is not a show-off criminal and does not seek fame;

He is not the kind of high-IQ criminal with antisocial personality who likes to battle wits with the police the most;

He's not even a typical criminal who kills for money or other benefits...

Billy kills people for appetite——

He likes the feeling of holding a human skull and chewing on the tough flesh;

He also likes soup made with human flesh, the permeating aroma always gives him a sense of accomplishment as a predator;

What he liked most was the taste of liver and broad beans, a recipe recommended by the great Doctor Hannibal.

Although Billy knew that Anthony Hopkins, who played Dr. Hannibal, did not have the same hobbies as him, he still liked the movie "The Silence of the Lambs."

——So, Billy is an ogre.

They are not the kind of monsters with pale or blue skin and fat bodies in games and movies, but humans who look like humans and feed on humans.

——That’s why it’s scary.

Because the people he killed were always used as food by Billy, the remains that the police were able to find in the end were naturally very few.

This makes it very difficult for the police to solve the case.

Although in the past two years, after relevant cases were handed over to the FBI, the FBI hired some so-called anthropologists from the Jefferson Laboratory to assist in solving the case, so far, Billy is still at large.

Before Billy kills someone, he sometimes watches some more literary movies, which will make him feel more delicious when eating later.

But this time, for some unknown reason, he chose the commercial blockbuster "Sherlock Holmes".

——This is not in line with Billy's previous style, but it has little impact.

Billy always felt like there was a voice in his head, asking him to watch this movie.

And for Billy, who regards cannibalism as a very sacred thing, following his inner choice is also the right thing to do.

**********

It should be said that the movie "Sherlock Holmes" was indeed very well made, and at least Billy was very happy watching it.

However, as mentioned before, he is more supportive of Earl Blackwood as the murderer.

In particular, when Holmes was foolishly knocked unconscious by Irene Adler's use of beauty and anesthesia, Count Blackwood magically appeared in his father's bathroom and caused his father to drown himself in the bathtub as if by magic.

This contrast naturally makes Billy look very happy when he assumes the perspective of Earl Blackwood.

Although, after waking up from the effects of the anesthesia, Holmes quickly returned the favor. Not only did he find many clues at the scene where Earl Blackwood's father drowned, but he also found a house where he had burned the dwarf Luke Reardon. The thug's body was found in a slaughterhouse according to the map.

However, Billy didn't care.

He is not a child, so of course he knows that such a commercial blockbuster cannot have an ending in which the villain wins.

The director will definitely trick Holmes into defeating the more powerful Lord Blackwood.

Billy can accept this ending, but he will not stop supporting Earl Blackwood because of it.

He just fully enjoyed the dark atmosphere of 19th-century London in the movie, enjoying the mystery and gloom, as if it was not on the big screen but around him.

“If only I could live in those dark times!”

Billy sighed secretly.

He felt that he was gradually immersed in the movie.

At this time, the wonderful action scenes began again——
