After a night of struggle, when Fang Bei appeared in front of Alex again the next day, he was already exhausted and in a state of two dark circles under his eyes.

But he had a script in his hand.

This is the script that has already been written.

Alex hurriedly instructed his subordinates to make a cup of strong coffee for Fang Bei, and then asked someone to bring a high-end space capsule massage chair for Fang Bei to rest first, and then he solemnly opened the script that Fang Bei handed him.

I don't know if it's the reason why Fang Bei wrote hi, he even drew a cover for this script!

It was a table, and on the other side of the table sat a person.

He wears a purple suit and a green tie.

On both hands, wearing white waiter's gloves, calmly rested on the table.

Chest up, it's all hidden in the dark.

The light from the wall lamp reflected on his body and hit his bloodshot crazy eyes.

On the table, he lays his right hand flat and holds a jack of spades between two fingers of his left hand.

In front of the cards are two stacks of cards.

Each has a card on top face up.

They are big and small ghost cards.

On the ghost card, two clowns, one colored and one black and white, are bowing and saluting.

And at the top of the script, there are a few letters written in flower script......

JOKER

Mr. Alex held his breath.

He already felt it, it seemed ...... Not your average superhero movie.

At the beginning of the script, it was in a talk show.

When Arthur Fleck was on the show, he said his dream:

"I want to bring laughter to the world. ”

The next moment, the show turned into a show on TV.

Outside of the TV, there is a scene of Arthur Fleck watching TV while taking care of his mother in the hospital.

There was no smile on his face.

Because on TV, the host of that talk show is laughing at his dreams.

This is where the main character, Arthur Frank, begins.

He is a positive person for life.

He is a clown by profession.

Sometimes, the children's hospital will ask them to come to the hospital to perform for the children.

He always made the kids laugh.

Originally, although he had a bad life, it was not bad.

If it can go on like this, that's not bad.

But it's a pity that this is Gotham City, which has a simple folk style and many talents.

The night sky is always cloudy, and eerie Gothic buildings stand tall.

Beneath the glitz and glitz of the surface, there is dirt and dirt in the dark alleys.

This is Gotham City, the city with the highest crime rate in the country.

The mayor of Gotham City has even publicly admitted at the United Nations General Assembly that Gotham City's police presence is no longer sufficient to deal with the growing crime in the city, and he has even proposed to the United Nations to send a peacekeeping force to Gotham City to maintain order.

This incident has also become a joke all over the world.

But that's the reality.

So it's hard for someone like Arthur to survive in Gotham City.

The setbacks in society ruthlessly destroyed his spirit and body.

The billboard he sent for printing was snatched by the thugs, and he went after it.

The other party not only beat him, but also destroyed his billboard in front of him.

And this loss, his boss has to deduct it from his salary.

But he wasn't alone.

He had a very good friend.

This friend is also his colleague, whose name is Pennywise.

The colleague was sympathetic to his plight and lent him a pistol to use for self-defense.

However, Arthur accidentally dropped his pistol during a hospital show for the children to see.

He begged the children to help him hide it, and the children agreed.

He also went to beg his colleague not to say it, and his colleague agreed.

But Penny Wirth, the clown colleague who lent him a pistol, later reversed course and betrayed him directly to his boss, causing him to be fired from his boss and lose his job.

Later, Arthur, who was still dressed as a clown, left the company in despair.

On the subway, he was frantically beaten up by three Wall Street elites in suits for "what do you see".

In a moment's errand, he shot and killed all three.

Originally, it was just an ordinary case of manslaughter.

But because Bruce Wayne's father Thomas Wayne's can be magnified, it has become "the retaliatory behavior of the middle class and the upper elite of the people who do not seek to improve", and this incident ignited the polar contradictions in society.

The "clown" became a symbol.

A symbol of the poor protesting against the oppression of the rich.

It's like the colored vest in some of Stan's countries.

Walking on the street, Arthur saw the "clown" protest reported in the newspaper, and saw the crowd of protesters wearing clown masks on the street, and he, a person on the fringes of society, felt a sense of his own existence for a long time.

So he joined the procession, which really gave him a little bit of satisfaction.

But he didn't think it was right.

He didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't want others to know that he was the "clown".

Because he has an old mother to take care of, and a pregnant wife to support.

He's going to have to try to find a new job.

But he won't do anything but make people laugh.

So he found a tavern and wanted to continue the show to see if he could attract an audience.

But unfortunately, his performance was not appreciated.

No, no one cared, and there were still three people who applauded his performance.

But alas, these three people are not good people, they are robbers.

This is a middle-aged white man from the Mediterranean, a middle-aged white man with a bit of fortune, and a robber made up of young black men.

They robbed all the guests and the owner of the tavern, but did not harm Arthur.

On the contrary, before leaving, the white Mediterranean man also gave Arthur twenty dollars of consumption as a recognition of his performance.

But alas, because of this, he was angered by the tavern owner, and as a result, he lost his job again.

After another incident, he learned who his biological father was.

That's right, he was an orphan, his parents were his adoptive parents, and they often abused him.

However, his adoptive father died early, leaving only an elderly mother.

But he seems to have forgotten about being abused and is still trying to take care of his mother.

Maybe it's because of the long-term abuse that he lost those bad memories.

But having a father is a good thing, so he went to find his father.

But that's not a good thing.

Because he found out that his biological father was Thomas Wayne, who pushed his "clown" to the forefront.

He went to look for the other party, but unfortunately the other party did not recognize him as an illegitimate child.

Instead, the other party slapped him and scolded: "You are also worthy of the surname Wayne?"

Then they sent for him to beat him and drive him away.

Even after he told the other party that he was the "Joker", Thomas Wayne used this to expose his identity and make him the target of public criticism.

The rich man mocked him, "You are also worthy of the surname Wayne"?

The poor are very disappointed in him, because they think that the "clown" is on the side of the poor, but they did not expect that you actually planned to "confess the thief as a father"!

The next two things completely crushed the last straw.

Because of Thomas Wayne's exposure, Arthur's life story was dug up by the media.

At this time, he realized that the mother he had taken care of wholeheartedly was actually a wicked person who had abused him since he was a child!

And the rioters have been searched by the police, causing Arthur's wife to be angry and the child miscarried, and he himself is in critical condition.

Arthur rushed his wife to the hospital, but the hospital refused to admit his wife because he had no money, which eventually led to his wife's death.

That hospital is the hospital where he performed before.

But the dean, the doctors, and the nurses didn't seem to know him.

Because he's just a worthless marginal.

He's just a clown.

Arthur was completely devastated.

He returned home and ended his mother's life.

Later, he found the clown colleague and killed him as well.

He then agreed to an invitation to a media show, dressed as a clown in a purple suit and green hair backstage, hid the pistol, and planned to shoot himself after performing the "Knock Knock Joke" show to fulfill his dream.

"Knock Knock Joke" is a joke game in the form of dialogue.

Usually when a person says Knock knock, he will imitate the sound of knocking on the door. After saying that, he will end with a joke that he thinks is funny.

This was Arthur's dream, to "bring laughter to people".

After this show, he doesn't plan to live.

After all, just being alive is already hard for him.

The world is not worth it.

But the purpose of this show to come to him is not to see what he does, but to use his identity as a "clown" to engage in a righteous governance show.

But until the end, Arthur insisted that he did not take a position and did not want to lead any movement.

He just...... I want to be a clown who brings laughter to people.

That's all.

When asked backstage by the staff, he even smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Do you look like a marginal waste like me can spark a movement?"

As a small and humble person on the margins of society, after experiencing the blows of life, the only thing he wants to do is to make his death more valuable.

So he chose to commit suicide on this talk show that was broadcast live across the country.

He was humble and unnoticed when he was alive, and he didn't want to be the same after he died.

But God is so cruel.

Even in the end, even the fact that he wanted to commit suicide couldn't go on smoothly.

At the end of the show, after he said "knock knock" twice in a row, the host interrupted his performance twice in a row and didn't let his joke come out.

The host cruelly interrupted his life curtain call performance, and didn't even let him finish a joke.

Arthur was very unhappy and began to argue with the moderator on behalf of both classes of people.

This is the effect that the program team wants, and this is the purpose for them to invite Arthur to come.

But in the end, the words of the supporter completely extinguished the only light left in Arthur's heart.

Because he said......

"I have seen the noblest of the poor, and I have seen the most despicable rich, not all poor people are as bad as you".

Arthur, on the other hand, said, "I have seen the most despicable poor people, and I have seen the more despicable rich people."

You asked me to do the show because you wanted to take advantage of my 'clown' status, just to have fun with me and increase the ratings of your show.

And doesn't that mean that you think that 'most of the rich are noble, and most of the poor are despicable'?"

"Haven't you always wanted to provoke me, a marginal person in society? Don't you just want to set me up as a typical despicable poor person? Then this last 'clown' joke is to let you see the consequences of angering the 'despicable poor'!"

As soon as the words fell, he took out a pistol that was about to commit suicide and killed the host of the show with one shot.

Then he was caught.

In the police car, he looked out with a lost expression.

Look at the rioting crowd holding clown signs and clown masks.

Those marching saw the police car where Arthur was being held.

They rushed up and overturned the police car, killing the policeman and rescuing Arthur.

Arthur looked at the frenzied crowd around him.

He dipped his fingers in the blood of the deceased and put the clown's blood-red smile makeup on the corners of his mouth.

Standing on the roof of the car, looking at the crowd worshipping you.

His eyes lit up.

His expression relaxed.

He...... Laughed.

............

Closing the script, Alex let out a sigh of relief.

He wiped the cold sweat that oozed from his forehead for nowhere, loosened the tie that made him feel tight, and poured another sip of coffee to moisten his dry throat.

Then, his voice was still hoarse: "Fang, I have to say, this is really an excellent script......"

"No, it's not good enough. After listening to Wu Kai's translation, Fang Bei said that it was not enough.

"Truth be told, this clown is a complete badass. Even without this series of events, he would still eventually embark on the road of crime, although in the script I have always stood in his perspective to mislead that it was the injustice of the capital world that led to the tragedy, but he was eager for the existence of others' attention.

Even if it weren't for these things, he would have ended up with the same result.

He's not a good guy who has been forced to be a bad guy, but he's by nature. ”

The same is true of this criminal process.

From the beginning of the forced self-defense killing, to the fact that others were killed by him just for offending him, until the last time the host just made him feel uncomfortable, he killed the other party directly.

His sense of morality was declining.

There is no need to whitewash this role.

Of course, what others think is someone else's business.

Anyway, this is an R-rated movie, and it is impossible to introduce it in China.

As for whether it will poison the young people of Hollywood...... Hey, hey, hey~ You guys don't care about Hollywood, but someone on our side cares?

"Mr. Alex, why don't you read the afterword?"

After listening to Wu Kai's translation, Alex opened the postscript at the back of the script.

That's also the ending of the movie, or an easter egg.

At the end of the day, it was a solitary cell.

Arthur, dressed in prison clothes but pale as a clown, sat there, and he seemed to be telling a story to the person opposite.

Oh, maybe he's not called Arthur.

No one knows his name, others only know him as ...... "Joker".

"How's my story?"

Joker asked in a brisk tone as he washed the playing cards in his hand.

The person on the other side let out a low hoarse voice: "This is the thirteenth self you have talked about." ”

The clown let out a weird laugh: "Hey, hey, hey...... You ask a madman how he is crazy, how can there be an answer to that? unless...... You're a lunatic too, BATMAN. ”

Then, he started laughing.

Gradually, the figure across from him burst into laughter.

At that moment, a bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the figure across from him.

He wears a black uniform.

On both hands, they wear gloves with three pointed fins.

The jet-black cloak behind him unfolded slightly, revealing the black and yellow bat logo on his chest.

Further up, there is a black mask that covers half of the face.

Where the two eyes were, it was a miserable white.

Script, end.
