The Best Entertainment Era

The disheveled hair, pale face, dark eye circles, bright red lips and scars, terrifying eyes, weird laughter, and the exposed venomous snake spit out the letter, making people shudder, and there is nothing evil about him.

A huge poster stood in front of the most eye-catching main entrance of the sacred auditorium, as if the entire premiere was mourning the person who passed away.

For more than half a year, Warner Bros. used a huge publicity machine and borrowed the death of Heath Ledger to almost turn the clown into a god.

In fact, the distance between Heath Ledger and the Joker is only a short distance away from the official release of the movie.

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

With all the hype surrounding Warner Bros., it seems like everyone is still grieving the death of Heath Ledger.

If it is a living person, it may have the opposite effect of excessive publicity, but the whole society is tolerant to those who leave.

Whether it's about Heath Ledger or not, this is a film full of dark style, and the black carpet is especially suitable for the scene.

When Kim Ledger and his wife representing Heath Ledger walked on the black carpet, fans on both sides raised their clown posters one after another. In front of the originally noisy IMAX theater, there was a moment of silence. It seemed that everyone was using this way to honor the passing of Heath Ledger.

Even though it was impossible to attend the premiere again, Heath Ledger stole the biggest show, and the whole premiere seemed to become a memorial ceremony.

Ronan was not interested in the premiere, so he entered the sacred auditorium very early. Occasionally, he saw the huge poster outside through the window of the VIP room, and he could only sigh secretly that this was a night of conferring gods.

Perhaps knowing that he was not the protagonist tonight, Christopher Nolan came to the VIP room early and was beside Ronan at this time.

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

Christopher Nolan said with a smile: What should be done is what should be done, and it cannot be easily influenced by the outside world.

Compared with those directors or actors who became popular overnight, Christopher Nolan climbed up step by step. It took ten years to get to where he is today, and his psychological quality is undoubtedly quite stable.

People who become popular overnight are most likely to get lost due to huge changes.

Typical directors, such as the wonderful pair of brothers first, then sisters, fell into the ditch after the first film, and have been living on their laurels.

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

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

Ronan hadn't seen Nolan for a long time, and asked, Has Warner Bros. discussed the sequel with you?

Charles Rowan talked to me on the phone some time ago. Christopher Nolan said directly without any hesitation, Ask me about the possibility of continuing to direct Batman in the future. I gave a clear answer and will complete three films according to the contract. Qu, the rest has nothing to do with me.

He expressed somewhat dissatisfaction: If I hadn't signed a trilogy contract, I would have quit the third one. Warner Bros. and DC Comics have gone too far, and they shouldn't exclude Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan smiled: It's okay, don't affect your work because of this, Relativity Entertainment doesn't quit unconditionally.

Regardless of how genuine Christopher Nolan's displeasure may be, it shows an attitude on Relativity Entertainment's side.

At this moment, Ronan saw Kevin Tsuhara, said something to Christopher Nolan, and walked over.

Good evening, Ronan. Kevin Tsuhara shook hands with Ronan: I thought you weren't coming.

Ronan asked: This is a film project we have worked together, of course I want to come.

Kevin Tsuhara greeted Ronan with a smile on his face, and he was in a good mood to recover a series of copyrights for the new Batman movie: Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. have cooperated for many years, and I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future .”

He suddenly changed the subject: Ronan, the price you asked last time was too high!

Ronan said: Relativity Entertainment voluntarily gave up on Wonder Woman, and Suicide Squad is just a marginal role in DC comics. The success or failure of the remake of the two old movies is unpredictable. In fact, Warner Bros. actually didn't pay much.

Kevin Tsuhara specifically mentioned: Don't forget, there is also monetary compensation.

Ronan spread his hands slightly: Compared to the harvest of the Batman series, what is this monetary compensation? He deliberately lowered his voice: I got the news that Warner Bros. and DC Comics plan to continue filming after the trilogy. The sequel, which ties directly into your Justice League plans.

This is almost public news, and Kevin Tsuhara has no need to deny it at all, and admitted: There is a plan for this. Ronan, your Avengers is progressing very fast, and DC Comics always has to hurry up. superior.

Marvel Entertainment has already released two films, and they have achieved success. Ronan flaunted it seemingly casually: DC Comics has fallen far behind, and it really needs to speed up.

Kevin Tsuhara didn't know this, and said, Don't worry, Warner Bros. and DC Comics have rich experience and will soon catch up.

Ronan also wanted Warner Bros. and DC Comics to speed things up, as fast as possible, because that represented a lack of real careful planning and market research.

But these words will definitely not be mentioned by Kevin Tsuhara, so he took the initiative to change the subject and asked tentatively: Twentieth Century Fox sent out a merger invitation to the entire Warner, and Warner has not responded. I don't know what you think. .”

Kevin Tsuhara laughed: My position is very clear. Many people inside and outside Warner know it. I firmly oppose it. More than one person asked, and he always answered this way, but more would not say Li said: As for the rest of Warner's board of directors, and what the major shareholders think, I don't understand.

Ronan didn't hide his position, and said directly: Kevin, you made a wise decision.

The CEO of Warner Bros. has a very important weight in the entire Time Warner Group. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the third or fourth person on the Time Warner board of directors. The influence of the group's decision-making cannot be underestimated.

Except for Twentieth Century Fox, no one in Hollywood would like to see this merger plan succeed.

Ronan quickly entered the screening room with Christopher Nolan, and Kevin Tsuhara looked away from Ronan.

He is very clear that the Justice League program wants to catch up to the Avengers program, and Warner Bros. and DC Comics are really going to speed up further.

Marvel Entertainment also has a Thor this year, and it is estimated that The Avengers will be released in 2009. Time waits for no one!

In any case, next year will be the first year of the Justice League universe project, and Green Lantern must be released in summer next year!

Kevin Tsuhara found Charles Rowan, hoping that he would continue to urge the production speed of Green Lantern after The Dark Knight was released, and that Zach Schneider, who had high hopes, would devote himself to justice earlier In the alliance universe.

Christopher Nolan's departure is inevitable. Judging from the current situation, Zach Snyder is the best DC superhero movie successor.

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

The Dark Knight began its premiere screenings soon.

From the beginning of the film, a tone has been set, that is, to keep making jokes about the clown who seems to be a supporting role but is actually the protagonist.

It can even be said that all kinds of cheating.

This kind of filming and production method of supporting supporting roles is fresh enough even in Hollywood, which makes the audience feel a different kind of stimulation.

Under normal circumstances, some people may have doubts or even resentment about it.

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

It has to be said that Warner Bros. has completed a nearly perfect movie marketing.

This is definitely a special marketing case that can be recorded in history and even textbooks, and it has extraordinary reference significance for the entire Hollywood.

Compared with Warner Bros.'s god-making plan, Relativity Entertainment's original promotion with Robert Ludlum's death is simply weak.

Of course, there is no denying that the Joker will be one of the most fascinating villains in the history of Hollywood movies.

This Dark Knight has a dark atmosphere everywhere, so serious that it is suffocating, but it is full of charming charm.

The bank robbery, the real and fake Batman, the clown fighting gangsters, the big chase in Hong Kong City, the clown assassination, the film has never let the audience take a breath, the rhythm is as tight as drums, and it drives people's emotions. rise to higher ground.

The film's portrayal of characters is very in-depth. The boundary between good and evil has become quite blurred. Batman, the black knight who represents justice, is so helpless under the pressure of the clown. To the point of surrendering himself, the Knight of Light, Prosecutor Harvey, who also represents justice, is also the best hope of Bruce Wayne. A double-faced person who relies on coins to determine life and death.

The few remaining comic colors in Beginning of War have also been completely abandoned. The Dark Knight is completely a realistic crime movie, extremely serious, extremely dark, and even extremely tragic.

Batman won the personal battle with the Joker, but lost the battle for the soul of Gotham. The consequences of Harvey Dent's fall were serious. In order to save everything, Batman resisted and killed Harvey Dent. He became the object of despise and became a real dark knight.

The righteous Batman finally became a criminal who escaped with guilt, but the double-faced man who lost his nature was mourned as a hero, and even the heinous clown ended up triumphant.

Never has a superhero movie ended so darkly.
