19. The Sherlock Holmes Collection
Sir Ian did not go to specialize in Sherlock Holmes novels, he did not even have a Sherlock Holmes novel. He believes that one of the lessons learned from playing "The Lord of the Rings" is that if you know the content of the original book in advance, you will be distracted by questioning the changes to the script. But he said:
"Sometimes you have to prepare, such as playing a mentally disabled person in "Walter and June", you need to study hard and take notes; there is also an accent, such as the role of a Nazi officer who immigrated to the United States in "Apt Pupil" , To learn a German-American accent; before acting in "The Keep", in order to play a Romanian, I went there to live there for a while, but the first day they came back to filming, they said they should use the Chicago accent!"

22. Glass piano The
glass piano (Armonica) was invented by Franklin in the United States and came out in 1761. It is played with fingers dipped in water. "The Voice of Heaven". It is rumored to be toxic because the glass contains lead, but it is actually fine.
23. The sequel, Zhan
Wang costume, Sir Ian believes that this film incorporates many elements that make different groups deeply touched: elderly people, children, and widows. This is very different from other versions. But he said: "The material of the costume is uncomfortable and it hurts very much." So he hesitated whether to continue to play Holmes in the future.
24. The
director of Sherlock Holmes has written or directed famous musicals such as "Chicago" and "Dream Girl". But he is not sure whether Holmes can be adapted into a musical:
in the 1960s, Broadway tried: "Baker Street", and made it the highest cost in history, because half of the budget was used to buy dry ice, and most of it The audience felt choked by too much dry ice and ran away halfway...
