Chapter 599: Nolan's Worries
Although Peng Yichen is just thirty years old this year, because of the help of the plot world, he has long been able to create the role he needs to perform in his heart.
But because he is in the plot world, he often has a lot of time, and he can integrate the memories, lives, and personalities of these characters into his own memories and personalities.
Therefore, he had not previously encountered the danger of schizophrenia.
But this time the clown's thoughts are too different from his own, and Peng Yichen can't convince himself to integrate the clown's thoughts at all, so his current state is very dangerous.
When Peng Yichen was in a hotel in Chicago, he locked himself up for 3 days.
Nolan finally came to the door, but when he saw Peng Yichen, he was shocked.
Because when he came to the door, Peng Yichen happened to be in the clown's thoughts.
Every word Peng Yichen and Nolan said could provoke the deepest anger and anger in Nolan's heart.
Even Peng Yichen's tone of voice and the look in his eyes made Nolan uncomfortable.
Even though Peng Yichen didn't wear makeup at all at this time, and there was no scar of "laughing" on his face, Nolan clearly saw an extremely dangerous, pure darkness, and endless chaos clown appear in front of him.
This shocked the British genius director.
It was the first time he had seen such an actor, and it was also the first time he felt that an actor could bring the characters in the movie to the real world very realistically.
Peng Yichen's state even made him feel a ridiculous feeling that he had not traveled to Gotham City.
Therefore, when Peng Yichen said that he needed to adapt for a while longer, and he would not take the initiative to contact Nolan for filming until he felt that the time was right, Nolan agreed without any hesitation, because he understood how dangerous Peng Yichen's state was, but how difficult it was.
For this reason, Nolan directly adjusted the shooting plan, first took the team to Xiangjiang to shoot the exterior location for a week, and then returned to Chicago.
At the same time, Peng Yichen was not idle in the hotel, he flipped through a large number of books on philosophy, psychology, and theology, trying to understand the mind of the clown character from the deepest depths.
Because the Joker has not been stimulated by any external scenes, he has gone to the darkness on his own.
All the stories he said about his scars and childhood, Peng Yichen already knew that he made it up himself.
So why did he do it?
Eternal life!
The proposition that all life in this world cannot escape.
No matter how clever you are, how wise, how powerful, or how rich you are, you can't escape the shackles of death.
The Joker is a highly intelligent criminal who discovered the fear of death early on, and at the same time hopes to gain immortality with the help of something.
And the way for him to gain eternal life is to completely tear apart the hypocrisy and rules of the world, so that the whole world will be in its most primitive state.
This is the pursuit and self-redemption of the Joker.
That's why he hoped that Batman would kill him again and again.
Because he believes that if the most stoic justice like Batman can be lured by him to the abyss of depravity, then his "chaotic and dark" heavenly kingdom can be truly established.
And he will also become the god of "chaos and darkness".
The clown is not a madman, he just wants to be a god!
At this time, Peng Yichen was finally able to completely control the clown's thoughts in the palm of his hand.
By this time, he had been in the Chicago hotel for 15 days and had not left the house once.
But Peng Yichen also felt very excited, because he obviously felt that his acting skills had slowly begun to improve, and he had vaguely touched the ceiling of the highest level of acting, and at worst, he could reach the peak of acting.
On April 18th, Peng Yichen officially entered the crew for filming, he didn't let the crew's makeup artist give him makeup, this time he went into battle in person, and painted the clown's face full of white oil paint and exaggerated and hideous scars at the corners of his mouth, and painted it vividly, coupled with the green hood on his head, a vivid clown appeared in the mirror of the dressing room.
When Peng Yichen put on his makeup and started smiling, even the makeup artist didn't dare to stay in the same room with him.
Because the makeup artist instinctively feels a feeling that he will be obliterated by the man in front of him at any time,
After Peng Yichen started filming, the first scene was a super difficult scene.
In this scene, he plays the clown disguised as a dead corpse, and is carried to the boss of the black gang by his younger brother, and then kills the gang boss while he is unprepared.
In the scene, the clown will explain the origin of the scar on the corner of his mouth for the first time, and say the classic line "why be so serious".
When Peng Yichen was in front of the camera, holding a dagger against the black actor, everyone at the scene imagined that he might directly kill the person in front of him every moment.
And when Peng Yichen began to talk about the origin of the clown's scar, everyone felt a layer of goosebumps on their body stand up, which is the natural reaction of the animal in horror when it feels the natural enemy.
When Peng Yichen said this line, his original English with a slight New York accent suddenly became an inexplicable accent, and every time he said a word, he came back with a "silky" sound at the end of the note, as if a poisonous snake was spitting out a letter.
When he finished filming this scene, the entire crew didn't dare to talk to him anymore.
Of course, Peng Yichen knew that he could control the thoughts of the "clown" now, but others didn't know.
Many female workers didn't even dare to look into his eyes, for fear that they would be taken away by him in the next moment.
Nolan stood next to the camera, although he was very satisfied with the scene just now, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
He was very worried, because Peng Yichen's state was really beyond his expectations.
In the performance just now, in addition to the frightening appearance, Peng Yichen had a kind of fanaticism and piety in his eyes.
This is something that Nolan has never embodied in his own script.
In Nolan's original vision, the Joker was just a symbolic figure, representing darkness, chaos, and disorder.
Therefore, the Joker was supposed to be a kind of person who could not exist in this world, because when he was created by Nolan, he was incomplete and mutilated.
But Peng Yichen made up for the claw's incompleteness, making this character no longer just a symbol.
Peng Yichen gave the clown his own thoughts, his own life, his own pursuits, and even his own worldview.
He made the character a real possible one.
But once a symbolic character becomes a real person in reality, the extremes and horrors in it are more extreme and terrifying than the clown designed by Nolan himself.
Nolan doesn't know if Peng Yichen can control the "clown" in his heart now, because once the clown is really resurrected in Peng Yichen, then he will be 10,000 times more harmful than in movies and comics.
Because Peng Yichen is now one of the most powerful and wealthy people in the world's film industry, if he becomes a "clown", then what the world will become, only God knows!
