The unkempt hair, the pale face, the dark circles of the eyes, the bright red lips and scars, the terrifying eyes, the strange laughter, and the poisonous snake that was exposed spitting letters, made people shudder, and there was nothing in the body that was not evil.

Huge posters stand in front of the most prominent front entrance of the Sacred Auditorium, as if the entire premiere was mourning the deceased.

For more than half a year, Warner Bros. used a huge propaganda machine to borrow the death of Heath Ledger and almost made the Joker a god.

In fact, it is only before Heath Ledger and the Joker become gods that the movie is officially released.

The atmosphere of the premiere was a little heavy, not only did every guest wear dark dresses, but even the red carpet turned into a black carpet.

Under the publicity 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 opposite effect of excessive publicity, but the whole society is tolerant of those who leave.

Whether it's related to Heath Ledger or not, this is a film full of dark style, and the black carpet is very appropriate.

When the Kim Ledgers, who represent Heath Ledger, walked on the black carpet, fans on both sides raised their clown posters in their hands, and there was an instant silence in front of the originally noisy IMAX theater, as if everyone was commemorating the deceased Heath Ledger in this way.

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

Ronan was not interested in the premiere, and entered the Holy Auditorium very early, occasionally looking through the window of the VIP room, seeing the huge poster outside, and could only sigh that it was a night of gods.

Perhaps understanding that it is not the protagonist of tonight, Christopher Nolan came to the VIP room early, and was by Ronan's side at this time.

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

Christopher Nolan said with a smile: "What to do or how to do it, you can't be easily influenced by the outside world." ”

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

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

Typical directors, such as the strange pair of brothers and then sisters and sisters, fell into the ditch after the first movie, and have been eating the old book.

Ronan was extremely familiar with Nolan and never had any worries about it, and instead asked, "How was the filming of Inception?"

Christopher Nolan gave a rough description of 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, "Did Warner Bros. talk to you about a sequel?"

"Some time ago, Charles Rowan spoke with me on the phone. Christopher Nolan didn't hesitate and said directly: "Ask me about the possibility of continuing to direct "Batman" in the future. I gave a clear answer that I would complete the trilogy according to the contract, and the rest was none of my business. ”

He was somewhat resentful: "If it weren't for the signing of the trilogy contract, I would have quit the third part." Warner Bros. and DC Comics are too much and shouldn't crowd out Relativity Entertainment. ”

Ronan smiled: "It's okay, don't let this affect your work, Relativity Entertainment is not an unconditional withdrawal." ”

No matter how real Christopher Nolan's resentment is, it shows an attitude that is on the side of relativistic entertainment.

Ronan saw Kevin Tsuhara at this time, said a word to Christopher Nolan, and walked over.

"Good evening, Ronan. Kevin Tsohara shook Ronan's hand, "I thought you weren't coming." ”

Ronan asked, "It's a film project we're working on together, and of course I'm coming." ”

Kevin Tsohara greeted Ronan with a smile and was in a pretty good mood to be able to reclaim a series of rights to the new "Batman" movie: "Relativity Entertainment and Warner Bros. have worked together for many years, and I hope we can continue to work together in the future." ”

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

Ronan said: "Relativity Entertainment voluntarily gave up on Wonder Woman, the Suicide Squad is just a marginal small character in DC Comics, and 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 made a point of mentioning: "Don't forget, there is also monetary compensation. ”

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

This is almost public information, and Kevin Tsohara has no need to deny it at all, admitting: "There is a plan for this. Ronan, your Avengers are moving fast, and DC Comics must catch up. ”

"Marvel Entertainment has already had two films released and it has been a success. Ronan showed off seemingly casually: "DC Comics has been left far behind, and it's really going to speed up." ”

Kevin Tsohara didn't know this and said, "Rest assured, Warner Bros. and DC Comics are experienced and will catch up soon." ”

Ronan also wants Warner Bros. and DC Comics to speed up, as fast as possible, because that would represent a lack of real careful planning and scouting the market.

But these words will definitely not be related to Kevin Tsuhara, so he took the initiative to change the topic and asked tentatively: "Twentieth Century Fox sent a merger and acquisition offer to the whole Warner, and Warner has not replied, I don't know what you think." ”

Kevin Tsuhara laughed: "My position is clear, many people inside and outside Warner know it, and I firmly oppose it. More than one person asked, and he always answered like this, but more than one said: "As for what the rest of Warner's board of directors and the major shareholders think, I don't know." ”

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

The CEO of Warner Bros. has a very strong weight in the entire Time Warner Group, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the third or fourth person on the board of directors of Time Warner, and the influence of his group decision-making should not be underestimated.

With the exception of Twentieth Century Fox, Hollywood probably doesn't want to see this merger plan succeed.

Ronan soon entered the screening room with Christopher Nolan, and Kevin Tsohara's eyes were taken back from Ronan.

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

Marvel Entertainment also has a "Thor" this year, and it is estimated that "The Avengers" will be released in 2009, and 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 the summer of next year!

Kevin Tsohara approached Charles Rowan, hoping that after the release of "The Dark Knight", he could continue to urge the filming and production of "Green Lantern", and Zack Snyder, who had high hopes, would devote himself to the Justice League universe as soon as possible.

Christopher Nolan's departure is inevitable, and Zack Schneider is the best DC superhero movie successor by all the circumstances.

Warner Bros. will surely carry on the almost insane influence of The Dark Knight throughout the DC Justice League universe!

The premiere of "The Dark Knight" soon began.

From the beginning of the film, a tone has been set, that is, the clown who seems to be a supporting role is actually the protagonist is constantly hanging.

It can even be said that there are all kinds of open hanging.

This kind of filming and production method for supporting roles is fresh enough even in Hollywood, making the audience feel an alternative excitement.

Under normal circumstances, some people may have doubts or even disgust towards this.

But the death of Heath Ledger has made almost everyone's tolerance for the Joker infinitely higher.

It has to be said that Warner Bros. has completed a near-perfect marketing of the movie.

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

Compared with Warner Bros.'s god-making project, Relativity Entertainment's original publicity with the death of Robert Ludren was simply weak.

Of course, there's no denying that the Joker would be one of the most glamorous villains in the history of Hollywood cinema.

This "The Dark Knight" is full of darkness, serious to the point of suffocation, but it exudes charming charm.

The bank robbery, the real and fake Batman, the clown fighting gangster, the Hong Kong City chase, and the clown assassination operation, the film never let the audience take a breath, and the rhythm is tight like a dense drumbeat, driving people's emotions to rise to higher places.

The film's portrayal of the characters 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 Joker, and in the end, it has to develop to the point of surrendering, and Harvey, the Knight of Light and prosecutor who also represents justice, is also Bruce Wayne's greatest hope, a bright star against the forces of evil, but after hatred and a fire, he transforms into a two-faced man who relies on coins to decide life and death.

The few remaining comic strips of "Time to War" have also been completely abandoned, and "The Dark Knight" is a completely realistic crime movie, extremely serious, extremely dark, and even extremely tragic.

Batman won the personal battle with the Joker, but lost the battle of souls in Gotham, the consequences of Harvey Dante's fall were serious, in order to save everything, Batman did not hesitate to resist the crime of killing Harvey Dante, became the object of spurning, and became a real dark knight.

The righteous Batman ends up as a prisoner who escapes with his guilt, the two-faced man who has lost his nature is memorially mourned as a hero, and even the heinous Joker ends up triumphant.

There has never been a superhero movie that has ended so darkly.
