Chapter 1043： Fengshen

Tousled hair, pale face, dark circles under the eyes, bright red lips and scars, terrifying eyes, strange laughter, and the venomous serpent's utterances that are exposed, are chilling, and there is no evil in the body.

A huge poster stands in front of the most eye-catching main entrance of the Sacred Auditorium, as if the entire premiere was mourning the dead man.

For more than half a year, Warner Bros. used a huge propaganda machine to borrow Heath Ledger’s death and almost turned the clown into a god.

Actually, it was only a short time before the film was officially released from Heath Ledger and the Joker.

The atmosphere of the premiere of 　　 was a bit heavy. Not only did every guest wear a dark dress, even the red carpet became a black carpet.

Under the propaganda of Warner Bros., it seems that everyone is still immersed in the grief of Heath Ledger's death.

If it is a living person, it may have the counter-effect of over-propaganda, but the whole society is tolerant to those who leave.

Whether it is related to Heath Ledger or not, this is a film full of dark style, and the black carpet is particularly suitable for the scene.

When Kim Ledger and his wife, representing Heath Ledger, walked on the black carpet, fans on both sides raised up the clown posters in their hands. In front of the noisy IMAX theater, there was a moment of silence. It seemed that everyone was using this Way to commemorate the passing of Heath Ledger.

Even if it is impossible to participate in the premiere, Heath Ledger still stole the biggest limelight, and the entire premiere seems to have become a memorial ceremony.

Ronan was not interested in the premiere. He entered the sacred auditorium very early, occasionally looking at the huge poster outside through the window of the VIP room, and could only secretly sigh that this is a night of the gods.

Maybe I understand that it is not the protagonist of tonight, Christopher Nolan came to the VIP room early and was right next to Ronan.

"Are you ready to become a major director?" Ronan said softly, "After this film, "Batman" will become an extraordinary name."

Christopher Nolan smiled and said: "What to do or how to do it, not easily affected by the outside world."

Compared to those directors or actors who became popular overnight, Christopher Nolan is a step-by-step climber. It has taken ten years to walk today, and his psychological quality is undoubtedly quite stable.

People who become popular overnight are the easiest to get lost because of huge changes.

The typical directors, such as the bizarre pair of brothers and sisters, fell into the ditch after the first movie, and they have been eating their money.

Ronan is very familiar with Nolan, and has never had any worries in this regard, so he asked, "How was the filming of Inception?"

Christopher Nolan roughly said the progress: "It's still around the world, but overall it's going well."

Ronan hasn’t seen Nolan for a long time, and asked, “Did Warner Bros. discuss with you about the sequel?”

"Charles Rowan specifically talked to me on the phone some time ago." Christopher Nolan said without hesitation, "asked me about the possibility of directing "Batman" in the future. I gave a definite answer and will complete three parts according to the contract. Qu, the rest has nothing to do with me."

He was somewhat uncomfortable: "If I hadn't signed the trilogy contract, I would quit the third part. Warner Bros. and DC Comics are too much to exclude Relativity Entertainment."

Ronan smiled: "It's okay, don't affect your work because of this. Relativity entertainment is not an unconditional withdrawal.

Regardless of how true Christopher Nolan’s unrestrained expression is, it shows an attitude of standing on the side of relativity entertainment.

Ronan saw Kevin Te Suhara at this time, said to Christopher Nolan, and walked over.

"Good evening, Ronan." Kevin-Tesuhara shook hands with Ronan: "I thought you were not coming."

Ronan asked, "This is a movie project we are working on together. Of course I will come."

Kevin Tesohala greeted Ronan with a smile and was able to take back a series of copyrights for the new "Batman" movie. He was in a good mood: "Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. have cooperated for many years. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future. ."

His speech suddenly changed: "Ronan, your asking price last time was too high!"

Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment took the initiative to give up Wonder Woman. Suicide Squad is just a marginal character in DC comics. The success or failure of the two old movies is unpredictable. In fact, Warner Bros. actually didn't pay much."

Kevin Tesuhara specifically mentioned: "Don't forget, there is monetary compensation."

Ronan slightly stretched his hands: "Compared to the gains from the "Batman" series, what is the monetary compensation?" He deliberately lowered his voice: "I got news that Warner Bros. and DC Comics plan to continue shooting after the trilogy. The sequel is directly linked to your Justice League project."

This is almost public news. Kevin Tesukhara has no need to deny it at all, admitting: "There are plans in this area. Ronan, your Avengers are progressing fast, and DC Comics must hurry up. on."

"Marvel Entertainment has already had two films released and they have been successful." Ronan seemed to show off casually: "DC comics have been left far behind, really speed up."

Kevin Tesuhara didn’t know this, and said, “Don’t worry, Warner Bros. and DC Comics are experienced and will soon catch up.”

Ronan also hopes that Warner Bros. and DC Comics will speed up, the faster the better, because that represents a lack of real careful planning and market research.

But these words will definitely not be related to Kevin Tesukhara, so he took the initiative to change the subject, and tentatively asked: "The 20th Century Fox sent out an M&A invitation to the entire Warner, and Warner has never responded. I don’t know what you think. ."

Kevin Tesohala laughed: "My position is very clear, and many people inside and outside Warner know that I am firmly opposed to it." More than one person has asked, he has always answered this way, but more will not say "As for the rest of the Warner Board of Directors, and the major shareholders, what do you think is not something I can understand."

Ronan did not hide his position and said directly: "Kevin, you made a wise decision."

The CEO of Warner Bros. has an extremely heavy weight in the entire Time Warner Group. It is even the number three or four on the Time Warner Board of Directors. The influence of its group decision making cannot be underestimated.

Except for 20th Century Fox, no one in Hollywood would like to see the success of this acquisition plan.

Ronan quickly entered the screening room with Christopher Nolan, and Kevin Tesuhara's gaze was taken back from Ronan.

He is very clear that the Justice League plan wants to catch up with the Avengers plan, and Warner Bros. and DC Comics really need to speed up further.

Marvel Entertainment will also have a "Thor" this year. It is estimated that "Avengers" will be released in 2009. Time is waiting!

In any case, next year will become the first year of the Justice League Universe Project movie, "Green Lantern" must be released in the summer file next year!

Kevin Tesuhara found Charles Rowan and hoped that after the release of "The Dark Knight", he would continue to urge the speed of the production of "Green Lantern" and the high hope Zach Schneider would devote himself to justice earlier. In the alliance universe.

Christopher Nolan’s departure cannot be avoided. Judging from the current situation, Zach Schneider is the best DC superhero movie successor.

Warner Bros. will definitely extend the almost crazy influence of "The Dark Knight" to the entire DC Justice League universe!

"The Dark Knight" soon began its premiere screening.

From the beginning of the film, a keynote has been set, that is, to keep opening up for the clown who seems to be the supporting role is actually the protagonist.

can even say various openings.

This kind of shooting and production method for supporting actors is fresh enough even in Hollywood, making the audience feel a kind of alternative excitement.

If under normal circumstances, some people may have doubts and even disgust.

But the death of Heath Ledger made almost everyone's tolerance for clowns infinitely high.

I have to say that Warner Bros. completed a nearly perfect movie marketing.

This is definitely a special case of marketing that can be recorded in the annals of history and even in teaching materials. It has extraordinary reference significance for the entire Hollywood.

Compared with the Warner Bros. god-making plan, the propaganda that Relativity Entertainment used to use the death of Robert Lu Delun was simply weak.

Of course, there is one thing that cannot be denied, the clown will be one of the most charming villains in the history of Hollywood movies This "Dark Knight" transmits a dark atmosphere everywhere, so serious that it is suffocating, but it spreads charmingly. Charm.

The bank robbery, true and false Batman, clown fighting gangster, Hong Kong city hunt, clown assassination, the film has never let the audience take a breath, the rhythm is like a dense drum, and it drives people's emotions. The rise to a higher place.

The film’s portrayal of the characters’ personalities is very in-depth. The boundary between good and evil has become quite blurred. The black knight Batman, who represents justice, is so helpless under the pressure of the clown, and in the end he has to develop. To the point of surrendering himself, the light knight and prosecutor Harvey, who also represents justice, is also Bruce Wayne’s greatest hope. He is a bright star against evil forces, but after hatred and a fire, he transforms into A double-faced person who depends on coins to determine life and death.

The only remaining comic color in "The Hour of War" has been completely abandoned. "The Dark Knight" is a realistic crime movie, extremely serious, extremely dark, and even extremely sad.

Batman won the personal battle with the Joker, but lost the battle of the soul of Gotham. The consequences of Harvey Dante’s fall are serious. In order to save everything, Batman resists and kills Harvey Dante. He became the object of being spurned by others, and became a real dark knight.

The righteous Batman finally became a criminal fleeing with a crime, but the double-faced man who lost his nature was memorialized as a hero, and even the evil clown ended in triumph.

has never been so dark at the end of a superhero movie.
