Chapter 229: Tyranny (1/8 Asking for a Monthly Pass)

As mentioned before, the producer of "Joker" has Martin Scorsese, so Robert De Niro will appear on the crew.

Because of this, his "The King of Comedy" runs through "Joker"...

The plot of "The King of Comedy": A grassroots comedian has dreams, but never gets glorified. The stand-up comedy stars he admires ignore him, the women he admires have always been pity rather than love him in their hearts, and his mother is helpless against him.

In the end, of course, he succeeded - kidnapping the star he admired and using it as a threat to appear on the TV stage for five minutes. Immediately, he was arrested, but the five-minute live performance made him famous and crowned the new king of comedy...

It's an American dream!

Arthur adores Robert De Niro's Murray Franklin, just as Robert De Niro's Rupert Pupakin adores talk show star Jerry Langford...

By the way, Robert De Niro is willing to communicate with Shen Ming, not only because Ming Tsai can be a man, but also because the old guy himself has drummed up a film festival, Tribeca International Film Festival, and needs Shen Ming's help to contact Chinese independent films...

Film festivals all over the world are short of good films!

After all, New York is one of the two major film centers in the United States, and there are still many film companies that pay attention to this Tribeca Film Festival.

Even if it is not released in theaters, it can be released offline.

Shen Ming directly brought "The Youth and the Sea" and "Sherlock on the Plains" to the competition...

……

The next climactic scene of Shen Ming is to be filmed, that is, he admits in public that he killed the three Wall Street men in the subway station, and by the way, he shot Murray Franklin...

On the set, the crew is preparing.

Shen Ming sat in the corner where there was no light, and then covered his head with the hat of his coat.

He lowered his head, the couch soft and comfortable, supporting his body and collapsing into a tough concave.

He felt his consciousness sinking, slow and soft, falling like a feather in the darkness, following the path of his mind in search of that glimmer of light.

Slowly, the glimmer of light became more and more transparent, very dazzling...

He opened his eyes, took off his hat, and looked at the time—five minutes had passed.

Then he stood up ...

Todd Phillips looked at Shen Ming, who was standing alone in the corner, and then asked Robert, "Aren't you worried about Shen's state?"

"What's there to worry about? The first play I auditioned for Martin was two days and two nights without sleep, and I got the role!"

“… But you weren't on a diet, he lost a whopping 40 pounds!"

"Actors... And this is his own choice, I want to take him to experience the joy of life, he himself does not want to!"

It's not that he doesn't want to, but some kind of force majeure ...

After waiting for a while, the crew was ready, and the scene was a talk show club, and the actors sitting in the audience were all invited...

“ACTION!”

……

Shen Ming sat in front of the stage and crossed his legs on the stage, feeling a little more comfortable: "That's right, Murray." My mom was a loyal viewer of yours, but she's dead now. ”

Robert was surprised: "Wait. Your mother is dead?"

"Yes, just yesterday morning, I watched her breath!"

"That's... What about your father?"

"I don't know who my father is, Murray. I found out the day before yesterday that I was adopted and abused by my mother and boyfriend. ”

The audience laughed ridiculously...

They thought it was a humorous drama about their own life story...

Robert shook his head deliberately, with an annoyed look on his face: "Listen, Joker, this joke isn't funny at all, it's not our level of humor on this show..."

After a pause, he motioned to Shen Ming to round off the conversation, and Shen Ming was very 'acquainted': "Murray, I'm really sorry, the past few months have been very difficult!"

"This morning, I mean, after my mother died, the police came up to me at her funeral to question me. Who did this?"

Robert pretended to be relaxed and glanced at the audience: "What, do the police suspect that you killed your own mother?"

Shen Ming suddenly raised his head, stared at the camera, his pupils widened, and the blue tendons at the corners of his eyebrows flared up, then he lowered his head, aimed at the microphone, and said word by word: "No, they came to ask me because I killed those three Wall Street guys." ”

The whole venue was silent, and even the accompanying band forgot to blow...

Robert was a little stunned...

Usually in movies, if an actor suddenly looks at the lens of his glasses, it means that a new character or thing has appeared, so you should pay attention to it, but Shen Ming looked at the camera just now, what did he see?

Saw the clown!

The old guy suddenly got excited: "So..."

"So what?"

"I'm waiting for you to put the finishing touch!"

“… There's no finishing touch, Murray, in fact, I'm going to kill them!"

Robert raised his hand and pressed the headset next to his ear, and whispered, "What do you know? This is the attraction!' and then pulled off the headset and stared at Shen Ming with a serious face: "Are you serious, aren't you? You tell us that you shot those three men in the subway, why should we believe you?"

Shen Ming smiled weirdly, "I have nothing to lose, Murray." Nothing can hurt me anymore, it's my destiny, I'm destined to kill them!"

"Let's get straight, do you think it's fun to kill those young people?"

"In my opinion, it's a good thing that I killed them. All of you, Gotham, this system is terrible. You have the power to decide, you decide what is right and what is wrong. What is real and what is fictional. The same is used to decide what is interesting and what is not. ”

"I killed those guys because they were so bad. In fact, everyone is having a terrible time these days. It's enough to drive anyone into madness. ”

"Murray, do you see what's going on outside? Did you leave the studio? Everyone was yelling at each other, and no one was a so-called citizen anymore. There is no one for the people to speak of, do you think that a person like Thomas Wayne, a person of such ease, would ever think about what it is like to be a person like me?"

"They will only think about themselves!"

The audience stared intently at the clown on stage...

Robert righteously said: "Arthur, what you say has a point, but this cannot be a reason for one person to kill another, not everyone is so bad. ”

Shen Ming suddenly sighed and looked directly at him: "Murray, why did you invite me to participate in this episode?"

Without waiting for Robert to speak, Shen Ming asked himself: "You want to make fun of me!"

"Play my video, invite me to the show!"

"You're just trying to make fun of me!"

"Murray, you're just like them!"

Robert De Niro suddenly realized something, he got up and prepared to leave, it was too late...

Shen Ming pulled out his hand and grabbed it, hitting him directly on the head, and immediately, blood overflowed...

Todd Phillips was about to shout, Shen Ming's performance was not over, after killing Murray with one shot, he was a little dissatisfied, looked around, then picked up the microphone stand, put it in his hand and padd it a few times, felt the weight, and then squatted down, stared at Robert's head, and smashed it directly on the carpet next to him, again and again...

After a few minutes, Todd Phillips saw Shen Ming, who was pressed to the ground by several security guards and gave up struggling, and said with great uncertainty: "GOOD!"
