This is probably the most controversial season of Shen Xia since it started on 20 10. However, the style of this crew should be familiar to everyone.
According to the research of bloodline website, 40-year-old Fu Juan and Conan Doyle, who died in 1930, have the same ancestor as Edward III's fourth son, Duke of Lancaster.
The researchers said that this connection was not entrusted by anyone, but out of personal preference and confusion about the drama and its behind history.
Everyone loves Sherlock Holmes, except one person, that is his creator Conan Doyle himself.
Conan Doyle never imagined that Sherlock Holmes, who was worried that he would be abandoned by the world like a star of the past, still has the upper hand today after 130 years, and his fans are more enthusiastic than Victorian people.
1887, Conan Doyle published the first story featuring Sherlock Holmes in Beaton Christmas Yearbook, which not only opened up a new form of popular novel, but also created a deeply loved legend.
He is over six feet tall, wears a hunting hat and a trench coat, and often carries a pipe and crutches. When thinking, I like sitting on the sofa, crossing my legs and praying with my hands folded. Many times, he is a lone ranger, acting strangely and full of wisdom.
Sherlock Holmes in Summer of God seems to have strengthened his image in people's minds more accurately.
There is evidence that Doyle modeled the detective after his tutor, Dr. joseph bell, in the medical school of Edinburgh University.
Bell has an extremely keen observation. He can judge the patient's condition, occupation, residence, habits and so on before he speaks. Besides teaching in school, this lecturer and doctor also likes to study famous cases.
Doyle recalled in an interview:
If Bell were a detective, he would certainly transform this interesting and disorderly business into a career close to rigorous science. I think I will try my best to make the hero in the novel treat criminals like Dr. Bell treats diseases.
Joseph Bell
Sherlock Holmes has an insight into complex human nature, but the other side of his heart-alcoholism and nervousness-has long been ignored.
Conan Doyle's portrayal of Sherlock Holmes was also deeply influenced by his father Charles Doyle.
Charles Doyle is a small civil servant in Edinburgh, but he is also a famous painter. Later, I lost my job because of drinking, got epilepsy and depression, and my family was very embarrassed.
This left a deep shadow on Conan Doyle's mind. Many scholars believe that Sherlock Holmes' neurotic personality and the repeated drunken violence in his stories come from Doyle's unhappy teenage memories.
However, readers are impressed by Holmes' superb reasoning ability. In their eyes, the problems of heavy smokers and drug addicts can't be hidden from a real gentleman.
In real life, fans regard Sherlock Holmes as a synonym for wisdom.
There are still many people who believe that Holmes is a real character. His residence in the novel has become a landmark, and tourists from all over the world come in an endless stream every day.
Conan Doyle wrote 60 stories about Sherlock Holmes, including 56 short stories and 4 novels. The popularity of Sherlock Holmes series made Conan Doyle famous quickly, and he also became the highest-paid writer in late Victoria.
But Doyle was not happy.
Or, more accurately, he regretted it almost immediately after he created the role: Holmes' popularity made him and his other works not "appreciated as they should be".
Conan Doyle
While studying in Edinburgh Medical College, Conan Doyle began to write and publish articles, until the publication of The Study of Blood Characters made him famous.
After Four Signs became popular, he was invited to write a short story about Sherlock Holmes in the magazine once a month.
But Holmes takes up too much time of Doyle. The unsuccessful ophthalmologist didn't see a patient before the London clinic closed.
After Doyle became popular, he began to write historical novels such as Myka Clark and White Column. With a literary ambition, he also tried poetry, drama, war history and participated in film adaptation.
In order to make time for serious literary creation, he offered a sky-high price of 1000, trying to decline the manuscript. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed, so Doyle had to bite the bullet and continue the story of Sherlock Holmes.
Seaside magazine
Many of Doyle's works are very good movie blueprints, with some modifications.
Without the works of Sherlock Holmes, many people will mention the lost world. This story told by Conan Doyle is based on a real historical exploration: an arrogant but extremely interesting scientist and an expedition discovered prehistoric creatures such as dinosaurs on a plateau in the jungle of South America, and these creatures are still alive today.
This novel is a classic on the theme of "lost civilization". Obviously, Jurassic Park was also inspired by it. Doyle had such artistic thinking long before the film became popular, and he had to say that he was very avant-garde.
Even so, Doyle made great efforts in serious creation, but he still lost to the fame of "Sherlock Holmes".
People are not talking about Conan Doyle, but Sherlock Holmes. Once, Conan Doyle's mother asked him if he could sign a book for a friend of hers. Doyle was overjoyed, so the old man asked him if he would mind signing Sherlock Holmes.
Conan Doyle was so angry that Holmes defined him as Pulp Fiction.
In his mind, the story of Sherlock Holmes is a bowl of chicken soup. His serious and valuable works have long been ignored by readers, but this bowl of "please" chicken soup has been a great success.
He can't stand heroes any more. I want to kill Holmes and end this.
1893, a large number of readers gathered in front of Conan Doyle's house and angrily threw stones at the window of the house, accusing the people in the house of murdering their heroes.
In "The Last Case", at the age of 37, Sherlock Holmes was cold and smart, and he was not close to women. He lost in the contest with his old rival moriarty and died in Lessingbach Falls. This is the place where Conan Doyle chose to die after visiting Switzerland in person.
The death of the detective caused an uproar. The magazine subscription volume of The Seaside, which published Sherlock Holmes' detective stories, dropped sharply. Workers in London wear black veil, and even Queen Victoria can't sit still. She said publicly: I'm disappointed!
Conan Doyle himself was overwhelmed by angry and abusive letters from readers, and some people threatened to murder him. ...
But Doyle was unmoved. He even tried to prove that Holmes was actually an idiot. In Watson's inference, Holmes explained everything he observed to Watson, and there may be countless explanations.
In other words, anyone who stands in the perspective of Sherlock Holmes can make countless similar inferences, all of which have the same chance to be correct.
He also said to his friend:
If I follow my own wishes, I won't bring him back to life, at least not for a few years, because I'm really tired of writing, and now just the name makes me want to vomit, just like eating too much foie gras.
However, people are obsessed with the smart and arrogant Sherlock Holmes, and the fate of this well-known detective is out of Doyle's control.
Ten years later, under the strong demand of the public and the balance of interests, Doyle finally "resurrected" Sherlock Holmes in The Return of the Empty House. However, the protagonist at this time is no longer the image created by Doyle ten years ago.
The death of his son in World War I fascinated Conan Doyle with spiritualism. Coupled with the influence of adaptation, Holmes became a character like Frankenstein.
Doyle may think that when Holmes' death was printed on paper, it was all over. But this resistance is probably "futile".
Sherlock Holmes can be said to be the most frequently adapted literary figure. Detectives have appeared in 2 1 1 movies, and 75 actors have put on deer hunting hats.
This legend has deeply aroused the imagination of the public, and people have been telling or continuing the story of Sherlock Holmes in various ways.
Just like Sherlock, some people will leave, whether temporarily or permanently.
Whether the fourth season really means the end or not, Holmes will not die, and he will return forever.
