Made in Hollywood

In the crew of The Dark Knight Rises, although Christian Bale will not be as humble as when filming Beginning of War, he is not reckless. What kind of director, his weight in this crew may not be comparable to those assistants who have followed him for a long time.

In fact, what Christian Bale thinks is not wrong. If something like that happened on the set of Terminator 4, Duke will definitely not drive away his cameraman or anyone else in the team, but Christian Bale. , even if the actor is changed for this purpose.

Generally speaking, the communication between Duke and Christian Bale is very smooth. There is more than three levels of difference between him and the director of Terminator 4 Joseph McGinty Niche.

Bruce Wayne has been deeply isolated since he lost his lover Rachel. The death of Harvey Dent and the subsequent out-of-control developments have left Bruce Wayne in a mess. His constant self-blame, is it because he chose to be Batman caused all of this to happen.

Looking at the script in his hand, Christian Bale discussed his role with Duke, His faith began to waver, causing him physical and mental frustration. But how long can he bear this kind of pain? Will these things really affect him? A lifetime? If things go on like this, will it lead him to the road of self-destruction at any time?

Duke's understanding is that after so many years of retiring and giving up being Batman, Bruce Wayne is actually sacrificing two identities he once had.

When we return to Batman this time, what we create is a man who has lost his purpose, without his mission, without his once unwavering goal.

Sitting behind his desk, Duke looked at Christian Bale and said. For the character of Batman, my starting point and the driving force I have always maintained is that apart from his wealth, he is a superhero without superpowers. His particularity is ultimately his extraordinary motivation and absolute dedication. Those two things made him great.

A major characteristic of this character is also one that people often overlook. It is his wealth.

Closing the script, Christian Bale continued Duke's words, As a wealthy person, few people can fully understand the resources possessed by them. The rest of the aspects are easy to understand from an emotional point of view.

He thought for a while and said again. I will grasp the emotional scale of the characters step by step, and naturally and smoothly show the different states of the characters at each stage. I will also try my best to find and research the true feelings of the characters. Now Bruce Wayne does not No matter how young he is. There are still many doubts that bother him, and this kind of performance is very nuanced.

Duke nodded in agreement.

Although his temper has risen, there is no doubt about Christian Bale's efforts, starting from receiving the notice from Duke in the first half of the year. Just gaining weight and building muscle, and doing the obligatory fight training with Jimmy Carter.

Not long after Christian Bale left. Duke asked Gal Gadot, who was training in the training hall to fight, to call over.

In terms of body shape, Gal Gadot is very suitable for Selena Kyle, but her acting skills are weak.

Sit, Gail.

Thank you. Director Rosenberg.

When the Israeli actress sat down, Duke didn’t bother her, and went straight to the topic, talking about her role, “I need to combine this classic character image with a highly credible character that can easily win the audience’s love. To find a balance between the characteristics of the characters, you have to combine the different aspects of these characters naturally and organically, without a sense of division, and coexist but not contradictory. Form a complementary effect between Catwoman and Batman.

Gal Gadot on the opposite side nodded hurriedly.

The real influence on Bruce Wayne is not Selena Kyle itself, but the loneliness after many years.

After thinking for a while, Duke said to Gal Gadot, He actually met a woman who made him feel interesting and charming at his own door. He suddenly realized that he was actually still looking for it, although subjectively, Unaware of himself...he's lost everything in his life that used to be full of color, and he needs to be in touch with normal people.

Duke asked her, Anna has given you the character script, have you read it? Any thoughts?

I've seen it.

Recalling the character scripts he had read, Gal Gadot said while thinking, I think Catwoman's outlook on life and morality are gray, and it is this gray morality of life that makes Batman quite touched. From a relatively weird point of view, Catwoman's aura is exactly the same as Batman's aura. The subtle but just right harmony between the two has been achieved. Selena Kyle always seems to be Indiscriminately mocking Batman, aroused some kind of affection between the two. As far as Batman's own dark character is concerned, the interaction between Catwoman and him is a touch of bright color, which takes away a lot of depressing and depressed atmosphere of.

That's right. Duke nodded approvingly, You can ask me anytime if you have any questions.

Although he doesn't like Gal Gadot very much, Duke doesn't treat him differently at work.

Another important role is Bane. However, Dwayne Johnson has just passed the audition and has not officially signed an actor contract. Naturally, he cannot get a complete script for the role, and Duke is not in a hurry.

Although Bane is not as well-known as Catwoman, Bane has become a notorious figure in the eyes of all comic Batman fans because of the heinous deeds Bane has done to Batman, no matter what Whether it is physical or psychological, it will pose the greatest threat to Batman.

Another notable feature of this character is the huge contrast between his voice and his body.

In Duke's words, Bane can speak well, but has a gorilla-like physique, so in addition to showing his excellent eloquence, his overall image is quite majestic and majestic.

Then there is the old butler Alfred, who will tell a cruel truth in the film. Gotham City has brought nothing to Bruce Wayne except pain and disaster.

In some respects, Alfred's point of view is correct. For the audience, Alfred looks at the problem from the audience's point of view. He is the audience representative and the audience spokesperson.

He was not as strong and unyielding as some people, and his reactions were the reactions any normal person would have in such a situation.

While Duke was preparing the film, as usual, Warner Bros.’s promotional and marketing work was already at the forefront. Since it is not appropriate to reveal too much about the film and its characters, Warner Bros. focused its publicity on Duke. From the director, after years of market proof, they have also seen the hugeness and market consumption power of Duke Chuan.

Under the joint instigation of Warner Bros. and Penny Kelly, some of Duke's past words were organized into Duke Rosenberg quotations, which were posted on the Internet, especially on instant sharing, As soon as Pu appeared, he became the target of everyone rushing to repost.

This Duke Quotations does represent some of Duke's true thoughts.

I'd rather make a movie that 1,000 people are raving about than make a movie that only 10 people think is high quality.

Most comics these days are like soft porn, and I still miss the traditional storytelling. Know what else I miss? Superpowers. Why can everyone change the ion molecules in their bodies now , as if a bolt of lightning would turn everyone into Doctor Strange. The girls in the comics are wearing less and less clothes now, and they all look like they have breast implants. I know I sound like a stubborn old man, But it's true.

I make movies for my fanatic side; I make movies to empower myself; I make movies to experience the lives of characters; I make movies to explore things that would normally scare me ;I make movies to do what all moviegoers fantasize about doing when they see the story.

I like fantasy movies, I like action movies, I like sci-fi movies, I am interested in things that don't really happen in life, because they are a kind of annotation of real life, but in the final analysis, what I am most interested in is what movies can do. The adventure and excitement it brings.

Every time I kill someone, I feel very refreshed and relaxed. Don't call me a 'character killer', Shakespeare has done more of this than I have.

I thought I was on this earth to make movies, but that same year, I saw Star Wars and I knew, oh, what I'm going to do is George Lucas I’ve already done it, and it turned out that there was no point for me to come to this earth, I just waited to die, and it wasn’t until many years later that I mustered up the courage to really step into the film industry.”

This era is chaotic and disorderly. Everything I create is to hope that the audience can see how human beings struggle and struggle in such an era to live a decent and noble life. This is very difficult. We fail a lot, but we never give up. For me, that's the most important message I'll stick with.

In the past two years, I have been under tremendous pressure, like I used to draw sketches, but now I am asked to paint oil paintings, and there are hundreds of millions of dollars hanging on every decision. Sometimes I really want to put all this Forgot all.

No matter what people say about the benefits of suspense, in my movies, I want everything to be a complete experience. If I dig you a hole, forget it, f**k. me. (To be completed continued~^~)
