MTL - American Fame and Fortune-Chapter 783 Clown becomes a god

Chapter 783 The clown becomes a god

If "The Dark Knight Rises" is evaluated separately, it is also a commercial film with a score of 80 or above, but many things are afraid of comparison. With "The Dark Knight" in front, it is difficult for fans and the media not to put these two films on the screen. Compare together.

The column of "Variety" directly pointed out: "There is an obvious gap between the two films, and the biggest gap comes from the characters! Batman is still Batman, but Bane has no villain magic like the Joker! After the release of this new Batman movie , let’s look back and see that Martin’s clown is more than a classic!”

"Hollywood Reporter" put it bluntly: "We have no disrespect to Vin Diesel. He also played the role of Bane very well, but Bane pales in front of the perfect villain Joker created by Martin."

 Given that Vin Diesel is gone, the comments in the media have been relatively mild, retaining basic humaneness.

 But in the mouths of fans of the Batman trilogy, it’s different.

　　Movie fans are sometimes very forgetful. It’s time to express condolences. It’s natural to express any dissatisfaction.

 One of them has been widely recognized.

“Martin’s version of the Joker can make the United States riot, make people imitate and cause chaos, and make people crazy enough to launch a massacre! Can Bane do it?”

“In any future Batman movie, Martin’s version of the Joker will be a topic that the villain cannot avoid.”

 “After Martin, there will be no more clowns!”

Nolan has something to do temporarily and will come over later.

  The shooting at the premiere, Vin Diesel's Bane and two Batman movies, as well as the North American environment, these chaotic factors have come together to make Martin's version of the Joker truly a **** online.

Martin clicked on it and saw that Paul Walker’s latest tweet was in memory of Vin Diesel.

 Martin followed Paul Walker’s Twitter account.

 Similar statements are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people on the Internet. In the streets and theaters across the United States, more people are wandering around dressed as clowns.

 The accompanying picture is a photo of him and Vin Diesel in "The Fast and the Furious", with the text: "God has a real angel beside him."

“Previously, we rated Martin’s version of the Joker in “The Dark Knight” highly enough, but looking back today, we found that the previous praise was far from enough. Martin has created a god-like character!”

If we do this, Warner and all of Hollywood will explode.

Since the economic crisis in 2008, the economic development of the United States has slowed down. The upper class has continued to cut leeks from the middle and lower classes. The middle and lower classes have become more and more difficult, and the channels for social advancement have become increasingly tight.

 One of them is Paul Walker.

 In his previous life, Vin Diesel was often seen commemorating Paul Walker.

 At Warner Studios, Martin entered the "Interstellar" studio and came to the reception room to wait for a while.

Especially the shooting case, which really elevated clowns to the level of faith.

In a society like the United States, it is impossible to ban clowns.

 The cases of clown robberies and zero-dollar purchases have not stopped over the years.

Martin picked up his phone and scrolled through Twitter. Perhaps related to the shooting, many Twitter accounts of actors from the main cast of "The Fast and the Furious" popped up.

 After reading it, Martin felt a particularly strong sense of contrast.

There are also the Twitter accounts of several other leading actors, such as Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Gal Gadot and Jason Statham, etc.

Not just the three gunmen, many people have fantasized about becoming clowns.

 …

 Perhaps we will often see Paul Walker commemorating Vin Diesel in the future.

Then there was a prompt message, but Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot also followed his Twitter.

Nolan came back at this time and smiled at Martin: "The crew has something to do temporarily, so I kept you waiting for a long time."

 Martin put away his phone: “I just got here.”

Nolan asked: "Is Lao Bu recovering from his injury smoothly?"

"It's no big deal." Martin came over this time because he got a piece of news: "I heard that Warner Bros. intends to let you control the entire DC superhero movie plan?"

Nolan nodded: "Kevin Tsujihara and DC Chairman Hamada did talk to me, but I refused. This job... How to put it, "The Dark Knight Rises" may be my last comic superhero movie, although Not quite perfect.”

 He ​​deliberately joked: "I didn't expect that the Joker, who has become a **** on the Internet and among movie fans, will become the reason and reason for this Batman to be criticized."

Martin laughed and said: "The main reason is that you wrote the script well. You used the lens to give life to the clown, making him a character with a complete evil concept and causing great terror."

Everyone likes to hear good things, and Nolan is no exception. He said: "I gave the clown life but you gave the clown his soul."

 Martin asked deliberately: “Are we exaggerating in business?”

Nolan said extremely seriously: "This is called having the same interests."

 The two of them laughed at the same time. Nolan returned to the previous topic: "I recommended Zack Snyder to Warner, the director who has directed "300" and "Watchmen"."

Of course Martin knew about Director Zack and asked, "Does DC have any new plans?"

Nolan said: "Abandon Green Lantern and start over with Superman."

Seeing that Martin was so concerned about the DC series, he made some guesses and asked: "Do you have any ideas about the DC superhero universe?"

Martin said directly: "The character of the Joker is extremely popular. As long as DC movies continue to be made, the popularity of the Joker will not decrease, and an independent Joker movie can be made."

 Nolan understands what Martin means. Whenever a DC superhero movie is released in the future, the villain will inevitably be drawn out by the media and fans to compare it with the Joker in all aspects.

"Joker does have the conditions to be an independent film." Nolan had some doubts: "The only problem is that this is a super villain."

 He himself laughed: "In the current situation, villains are not a problem."

Martin agreed: "For the Joker, the audience won't care if he is a villain, but the plot must be brilliant, the character must be stylish, and meet the audience's expectations. This is the key."

Nolan asked: "It seems that you have thought about it carefully."

Martin nodded slightly: "In "The Dark Knight", the Joker has a large number of die-hard subordinates. Although the plot is explained, it is not explained carefully. There is also why the Joker became the Joker. No matter what the comic plot is, the audience will still be interested in it. This version of the Joker’s psychological transformation process is full of curiosity.”

Nolan pondered for a moment and asked, "Should we jointly promote this project?"

“This version of the Joker was born from your movie.” Martin has been paying attention to public opinion and Internet dynamics. He felt that the time was right, and the first person he looked for was Nolan.

 The two are still collaborating, and it is impossible to leave Nolan behind on this project.

Nolan said happily: "Let's push Warner and DC to start this project together. You are familiar with Daniel, and Warner Pictures will leave it to you. I'll go talk to the people at DC Pictures. It shouldn't be a big problem."

 Martin glanced at his watch and said, "Chris, I won't waste your time. When I go out in a while, I will just go to Daniel's office."

Nolan said: "I have an appointment with DC's Hamada and Zack Snyder tomorrow to talk about it, and I will mention it in detail then."

Martin said goodbye and left, drove a battery car to the back door of the Warner Building, called Daniel, and then went straight to his office.

 Daniel's secretary was waiting at the door of the office. As soon as Martin arrived, he quickly took him in.

“You rarely come to my place recently.” Daniel stepped forward to shake hands and said, “Warner Pictures is your old friend.”

 Martin said smoothly: "So, I came to my old friend for help."

Daniel immediately asked: "Is there any film project to cooperate with?"

"Have you paid attention to the recent public opinion situation? It's about the clown." Martin didn't have to go around in circles at all. He didn't go to see God because of the role of the clown.

The clown who became a **** is the clown he stars in, not the character in the comics. If Warner and DC want to make a clown movie, they can't get around him and Nolan.

Daniel is also an old filmmaker. He understood what Martin meant immediately and asked: "Do you want to promote a movie about the clown?"

  Martin said: "Director Nolan and I want to promote the Joker's solo movie."

This is what Daniel expected. Ever since the media revealed that the three people involved in the shooting at the premiere were dressed as clowns, the role of the clown has been automatically promoted by countless movie fans. To this day, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ugly.

But he also had doubts: "Martin, the clown is indeed very popular. This popularity can even last three to five years, but I don't know if you have noticed one thing. The clown is praised too highly."

Daniel cited a recent case: "The Dark Knight Rises has received a lot of negative reviews, which is not unrelated to the fact that The Dark Knight has raised many people's expectations."

"That's what I thought about..." Martin was well prepared and selectively said what Nolan said, adding a few words: "Making and making a movie, moving from one peak to another, is very It’s very difficult, so instead of trying to climb another peak, we turned around and went back and focused the story on the process of why the Joker became the Joker.”

Daniel said: "A story before The Dark Knight? A movie similar to a prequel?"

Martin responded: "Yes, it is a movie similar to the prequel to "The Dark Knight", an evolutionary history of the Joker. In this way, we are starting from a very low starting point to climb the current peak called the Joker. "

Daniel laughed: "What a great idea!"

 He also needed performance after taking office, and quickly said: "Martin, how about this project being jointly promoted by you, Director Nolan and Warner Pictures?"

 Martin doesn’t have the copyright, so of course he won’t refuse, and responded: “No problem.”

Daniel suppressed his smile and said seriously: "I will ask people to prepare relevant materials today to promote the project as soon as possible, but the Joker involves DC, and according to procedures, DC must approve it before the project can be approved."

Martin said: "I won't go to DC. You and Chris are enough."

Daniel nodded: "Waiting for our good news."

 Martin achieved his goal and soon left Warner Pictures.

As for the script and director, we have to wait until DC Films and Warner Pictures establish the project.
