Now Mark has achieved a series of successes, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the pinnacle of life, and the most successful tycoons in the entertainment industry, Mei Duo and Lei Shidong are just like this, the successful mergers and acquisitions of Columbia Pictures and MGM Pictures, plus the acquisition of B TV Network and UPN TV Network, MM TV Network is among the top five TV networks in North America, and MM is also the fifth largest media in addition to Time Warner, Viacom, News Corporation, and Disney Group.

In terms of shareholding composition, Viacom is controlled by the Rayston family, News Corporation is controlled by the Merdor family, and MM is controlled by the Wang family, the Ellison family, The Iger family is jointly controlled, while Time Warner and Disney are controlled by the joint shareholders' meeting, and the Lei Shidong family controls more than 70% of Viacom's equity, but at the same time owes huge debts, in terms of actual assets, he is almost the same as the Mei Duo family and the Mark Wang family, which control 40% of the shares of News Corporation, and everyone is about 10 billion, so the newly emerging Wang family has become the top upstart in the United States.

Because it is engaged in the cultural industry and the media industry, people cannot associate it with the nouveau riche tyrants, but the new top aristocracy.

Mark and they used the MM Group to build momentum for themselves, smeared with grease and whitewash, and then used the family charity fund to build a moral dam for themselves, there was no negative news outflow, only good words and no bad words, and naturally established a good reputation.

After these achievements, Mark began to be a little empty and dazed, he has the advantage of foresight in the golden finger, this is the perspective of God, and there is a kind of jumping out of the world, looking down on all beings with the posture of God, and the struggle in this workplace is understated, knowing that he will win, there is no expectation of victory, let alone the fear of failure, this kind of life is a little unreal.

For his career, Mark has a kind of unreal, but life is real, hot wife, lovely son, luxury cars, mansions, yachts, private jets are all so real, so that he doesn't have to worry about waking up, just sleep in the old bed in the rental house, and play with the three-star Gaishi 7 that can blow him up at any time.

This made Mark enthusiastically devote himself to work, earn more money, and become more famous.

"The Dark Knight" can bring him even greater fame, whether it is IMBD's professional ratings or the global box office of North China, it has reached its peak.

Not only is Mark looking forward to "The Dark Knight", but Warner is also the same, after they learned that Mark plans to hit the Oscars with "No Country for Old Men", they also said that they will assist, but the requirement is that "The Dark Knight" must be his first work after winning the award.

"The Dark Knight" has been successfully portrayed by the protagonist Batman, and the villain Joker will be the main attraction.

Hoffman, the actor of the Joker, is a typical New York actor, the difference between a New York actor and a Hollywood actor, typically similar to the difference between Woody Allen and Michael Bay, a professional background, graduated from New York University, has rich experience on the Broadway stage, two Tony Awards, he has a strong stage play style in some of his performances, such as the stage adaptation of "Child Abuse Suspicion", and his college roommate Steven Saber and the great director Bennett Miller created a theater together.

His biggest tag is the instantaneous hysterical emotional outburst, as well as the usually somewhat tired and even indifferent way of expressing his lines, so Capote is really the perfect character tailored for him. With this role, he won almost all the acting awards that year, and it is also one of the highest-ranking roles in film history in his career, but in fact, he jumped out of the category of this type of role, allowing him to play crazy from beginning to end (such as "Professional Secret Service 3"), or emotionally stable roles (such as "Killing the President"), his performance is relatively ordinary.

Many people should know him from Capote, or "Pro Secret Service 3", or even some Oscar films in recent years, but his film career really started when he participated in a series of Paul Thomas Anderson films, including "Magnolia", "Unruly Night" and so on. He is PTA's favorite general, except for "Blood is Coming", he is indispensable in every PTA work.

In the following years, he almost became synonymous with independent films, "Murder Green Toes", "Genius Ripley", "Almost Famous", "Sex Town" and so on, the participation of a series of independent films finally established his status in the circle.

When it comes to his actor idols, he probably includes Daniel Day Lewis, Paul Newman and Meryl Streep. This can be seen in his pursuit of acting, and his acting mode (more experiential), in fact, many of his acting performances can be evaluated by Lewis's label, which is the kind of control over his own super powerful and even perverted desire to mimic the role, but the difference between him and Lewis level actors (there are no two hands in history) is that most of his roles are actually similar to his own personality or background and growth environment.

"Capote" was definitely a watershed moment in his career as an actor, and since then, he has participated in more big-budget films, and of course, he has more say in the choice of films to participate in.

After a month of retreat at the Hoffman Hotel before playing the Joker, I realized that this truth is not complicated: "I am a Joker, and I am a living mentally twisted character in the real world. ”

It can't be said that the screenwriter doesn't have credit for this, but in order for a character to find an accurate position between the madness in the virtual world and the rationality in the real world, it is necessary to rely on the talent of the actor.

Grasp the psychology of the character, let's not discuss this kind of mystical theory, let's talk about it at a glance, first of all, the voice, which Hoffman researched during a month of hotel retreat, is so appropriate to his performance method. This aspect is particularly obvious when compared to Jack Nicholson: Jack Sr. uses caricature and exaggerated performance, but the use of voice is the same as usual.

By voice, I mean a change in the line of voice, not the change in accent of Aunt May and Ben Kingsley.

The Joker's voice, as mentioned above, is to find an accurate position between the madness of the virtual world and the rationality of the real world.

He did it.

The clown's laughter is so weird, crazy and twisted hahahahahaha

There is also action, the actor is not a machine that reads lines. Actors need to simulate the psychological state of the character, and appropriately add things that are not in the script to make the character fuller and more attractive, and this is where small action design is needed.

He behaves after seeing Rachel when he plays a clown harassing a fundraising party: "ell... Hello, beautiful!

He raised his right hand holding the dagger and straightened his hair to the left, while sticking out his tongue and licking his lips, then straightening his right hair.

It's hard to say for sure what this little action means, and you can even make dozens of interpretations, but the important thing is that when you see this series of small actions, you get a strong hint that this character behaves differently than ordinary people. This important layer of foreshadowing makes the following series of monologues with exaggerated content seem smooth and natural, and this is the power of action design.

Hoffman is a magical actor who plays the Joker's psychological distortion and madness, which puts great pressure on his opponent Xiao Lizi, but Xiao Li Zi feels fun in the pressure, a strong opponent, which on the contrary arouses his interest and makes him even more excited.

Xiao Lizi was extremely proud and arrogant when he joined the crew, he has always been alone, go to work on time, get off work on time, have a table by himself during meals, and go back to the trailer to rest after eating, as for the lines and rehearsals, it is even more impossible, he has good acting skills, good memory, and he will not forget his lines or keep up with the play at all, if the filming can't keep up and waste his time, he will be very angry.

So everyone else was rehearsing, let people temporarily rehearse for this product, until Hoffman's performance, shocked this goods, Hoffman's clown, panicked and funny body, hiding a twisted crazy heart, his performance, is hidden behind the mask, but very tense and explosive, Jack Nicholson's clown is comic style grotesque and funny, and Hoffman is an ordinary person twisted and crazy in his heart, a madman with a normal appearance and a near-collapse inside, if it were not for the clown mask, he would have gone crazy long ago.

In the big fundraising party, Hoffman, the clown, overwhelmed the audience, which shocked Xiao Lizi and tasted the taste of being pressed.

This made Xiao Lizi not only discouraged, but also greatly admired, he took the initiative to sit next to Hoffman during the meal, and talked with him cordially to discuss acting skills.

That's charisma.

After Mark wrote the play and wrote the storyboard, he distributed it without any requirements for Hoffman, just let him play freely.

Hoffman's version of the Joker is definitely different from the Hiss version, Hoffman is short and fat, not as young as Hiss, and not as agile as Hiss, but his Joker is by no means under the Hiss version, his eyes are so bland, but it gives people a sense of horror and madness, and makes people feel creepy.

Mark is extremely satisfied with this, this is the crazy villain he imagined, this is worth eight million, and as for him and Xiao Lizi, this is not a problem.

Mark and Xiao Lizi have different ideas, there are conflicts in business, but they are by no means enemies, even if they are enemies, the two sides are not of the same level.

As long as they can cooperate well and act in this scene well, nothing else is a problem, even if Xiao Lizi is the male protagonist of his movie, which is imposed by Warner, Xiao Lizi is not his friend, there will be no intersection in life, and the parties on both sides are not participating in each other.
