Jessica Blair is an ordinary student at King's College in London. Her hobby is not to wear makeup and go to bars, but to read a book alone in a bookstore outside the school all day.

After all, the headquarters of King's College is strange. There is no bookstore on campus, so you have to walk ten minutes from the school to get there.

As a Sherlock Holmes fan for many years, Jessica learned about the secret photography at the first time and followed it all the way. Now BBC has launched a trailer, but she has been afraid to watch it for a long time!

At the beginning, she and many people had doubted whether a Chinese could grasp the essence of Sherlock, so she went to a bookstore to buy the work "Detective Sherlock".

After reading the complete book, Jessica was relieved by the plot, but in a blink of an eye, she began to worry about BBC's shooting ability.

BBC is a public institution, and its operations mainly comes from the TV license fees paid by British citizens. The citizens have long paid for any programs, dramas and other works produced by the TV station.

However, according to the year-end financial report released by BBC some time ago, they only paid £6 million in production for "Detective Sherlock", and the most of them were Zhang Chu, the writer and screenwriter!

Can this little money be used to shoot a TV series?

In the United States, a slightly well-produced TV series costs tens of millions of dollars in one episode!

"Hi Jesse, have you watched the trailer for Detective Sherlock on the YouTube?" A thick male voice rang.

Jessica turned her head and found that the person standing by the bookstore was his friend Lucich. This handsome British man was wearing a coat, and his scarf and hat were very retro.

"Jesus is here, you scared me!" Jessica smiled, "I have finished watching the trailer, and I will be going to guard the TV in the dormitory tonight. Where are you?"

Lucici is also a book lover, but not limited to the field of detective novels. He pushed open the door with a gentlemanly demeanor and replied in a low voice: "Of course, I really want to see how the modern version of Sherlock Holmes is."

"I don't want to see the detective become the next victim, guys."

Roger, who had been waiting in the seat for a long time, shook his head and said in a muffled voice.

The Sherlock Holmes in Conan Doyle's novels have been deeply rooted in Roger's heart. In recent years, various remakes and adapted novels have made people desperate. He has no interest in BBC.

Jessica took the coat down and put it aside, comforting: "Roger, you really should have a look at the trailer, contemporary Sherlock Holmes looks very savory."

"The story that happened in the 19th century was transplanted to our 21st century, and the elite detective, who once wore a windbreaker, smoked a pipe, and had an elite look on the streets and alleys of modern London with his macbook and iPhone? It was precisely because I watched the trailer that I was even more worried!"

After Roger said that, he sighed again. Transplanting is simple, but it is not something that can be solved by changing clothes and equipment.

As long as the characters and stories of the nineteenth century are translated over, even if they are filmed close to the original work, they will be incompatible with modern life. Roger is not willing to destroy the perfect image of Sherlock Holmes in his mind!

Lucici didn't know what to say, "Perhaps we should trust BBC's ability, they can always bring excellent TV series."

"He took all the money we paid to foreigners. If we could spend more money on filming and production, that would be what we could feel at ease."

Roger's views almost represent the thinking of a considerable number of British people. As a detective drama, it actually doesn't cost much. In addition to a small amount of special effects technology, it is the actors' pay.

But now the main actors of Shenxia are not popular. Britain has never lacked good actors, and Hollywood is about to be occupied by the British help!

Now "Detective Sherlock" has only released stills and the only trailer. BBC is a giant British TV station and is not worried about whether there are any ratings.

The TV station is concerned about whether it can export this drama to overseas regions to make money. There is a basic market here in my hometown, which cannot be too low.

On youtube, the trailer for "Detective Sherlock" has received more than 20 million clicks, most of which come from the UK and China, and the rest of the country are very few!

After all, there are few British people, and there are many other video websites in China that can be viewed. There is no need to use English websites, so it is not very convenient to use.

Not only on the YouTube, bbc also posted this video on the official account of Instagram, and the number of viewers below is even higher than that of the YouTube!

There are quite a lot of comments on these social media and video websites, and everyone is waiting for the arrival of tonight with expectations and worries.

"I hope I won't destroy Sherlock, I just want to ask."

"Pray silently, if the filming is too bad, I suggest everyone complain to bbc together"

"I'm quite optimistic. "Sherlock" is a very excellent novel, and the quality control of bbc is equally strict. I really hope to meet Sherlock Holmes in modern times!"

"I don't know what to say. Our students from China are even organizing parties to watch this TV series. It's really crazy!"

"I heard that the screenwriters and original works of this TV series are both Chinese, and they actually have Sherlock Holmes' existence?"

Some British people were quite arrogant, and they were immersed in the afterglow of the sun never set, believing that the Chinese could not write down the essence of Sherlock Holmes at all.

But the comments from China, which is eight time zones away from London, netizens have completely different opinions!

Trailers can be published on every video website, and netizens can also upload them, so the circulating range is quite wide.

The single trailer with the most comments on Weibo has reached 12 million clicks, and everyone is anxiously hoping that "Detective Sherlock" will be broadcast as soon as possible!

"It is clearly broadcast at 8 pm on the 1st of the UK. Why do we have to wait until 9 am on the 2nd to see it? It's so late."

"It seems that we didn't delay it for too long. When they premiered, we were already 4 a.m. on the 2nd, and it was almost five o'clock after the broadcast. Tencent Video also had to be subtitled. It took four hours to get everything done and you can watch it when you wake up in the morning. It's great!"

"All the British works written by Zhang Chu have been filmed. When will I see "Ghost Blows Out the Light" on TV? Even if it is not broadcast on TV, I am willing to serve as a member to watch it as a member."

"The TV series with only three episodes is worthy of being a mini-series. It's too short and it's not enough to watch it."

"Is Zhang Chu going to write the second part of Shenxia now?"

"Waiting for the morning of the second day, the members are already in place. I hope Tencent Video will be on time and don't delay!"
Chapter completed!
