Chapter 668: The First Battle of the Gods

The black Mercedes sedan slowly stopped in front of the same dark carpet, a security officer stepped forward to pull the car door, Matthew was the first to get out of the car, stepped on this distinctive black carpet, and then turned around and stretched out a hand into the car, like an English gentleman, to help Emma Watson down.

The two of them stood on the red carpet, and all the eyes looked blue and black.

According to Warner Bros. Bros. proposal, all the members of the premiere crew and the guests who came to participate in the premiere tried to wear dark clothes as much as possible, not only that, but even the red carpet, which has always been indispensable, was replaced with a black carpet.

Matthew wore a blue-black Armani suit, and Emma Watson, who was holding his arm, was a small black dress specially prepared for her by Chanel.

"Let's go. Matthew turned his head to look at Emma Watson, who smiled at one side of her mouth.

The two of them didn't care about the media reporters' almost crazy photos, and walked forward generously, occasionally waving to the fans on both sides of the black carpet.

"It's the first time I've walked on this kind of carpet. Emma Watson muttered to Matthew in a low voice, "It feels like attending a memorial service." ”

Matthew also lowered his voice, "The dead are greater. ”

Emma Watson snorted twice and said, "True respect is to let the dead leave quietly." ”

Matthew was speechless, and perhaps Emma Watson's words made sense, but it couldn't be realized in Hollywood.

Although Warner Bros. did not directly say that the black carpet is to mourn Heath Ledger, whether it is related to Heath Ledger or not, "The Dark Knight" is a film full of dark style, and the black carpet is very appropriate.

Matthew and Emma Watson quickly walked across the black carpet and into the interview area before being stopped by a swarm of reporters.

"Mr. Horner, Miss Watson, are you dating?" immediately a reporter asked aloud.

Emma Watson preemptively replied, "I've been friends with Matthew for many years, I've known Matthew since I was eleven years old, and I'm relatively new to Los Angeles, so I specially asked Matthew to take me to the premiere." ”

The reporter didn't believe it and asked, "Matthew, is that really the case?"

Matthew replied to Emma Watson's words, "What Emma said is true, our good friends for many years. ”

With that, he left the reporters alone and walked towards the theater door with Emma Watson.

The two of them went up the steps of the theater before slowing down, and Emma Watson glanced back and said, "I guess tomorrow our scandal will be spread everywhere." ”

Matthew said casually, "Whatever, any girl I meet will be hyped up into a scandal." ”

"Aren't you to blame?" Emma Watson deliberately teased, "who made you usually indecent." ”

Matthew shrugged slightly, not saying much.

Emma Watson reminded him, "Don't forget to clarify when you go back." ”

"Got it. Matthew heard the voices of the fans behind him suddenly become louder, looked back, and said, "Why are you leaving tomorrow, I still want to entertain you." ”

Emma Watson shook her head, "No way, I'm going to fight for AS. Prepare for the level exam, and if you don't do well, you won't be able to choose a good university. ”

"Okay. Matthew said helplessly, "The scumbag of the world of the top students doesn't understand. ”

When she picked up Emma Watson from the airport yesterday, she said that the university she was going to apply to was Cambridge, Oxford, or the Ivy League in the United States, and she was confident.

In this respect, Emma Watson is an out-and-out top student.

The noise from the black carpet was even louder, and Matthew saw clearly that it was Morgan Freeman and his granddaughter Edina Hines who walked on the black carpet, and the rumors of an indecent love between the two had not been spread for a day or a half.

"Is it real between them?" asked Emma Watson, who also saw it, curiously.

Matthew shook his head, "I don't know." He then added, "That's not Morgan Freeman's own granddaughter." ”

For now, Hollywood is nothing, and the industry and the media will not measure the achievements of actors or directors in this way.

The commotion caused by Morgan Freeman and his granddaughter Edina Hines quickly subsided as Heath Ledger's parents walked the black carpet.

When the Kim Ledgers, who represent Heath Ledger, walked on the red carpet, fans on both sides raised their clown posters in their hands, and there was an instant silence in front of the originally noisy 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.

"Let's go. Emma Watson pulled Matthew and said, "Let's go inside." ”

Matthew nodded lightly and followed her to the theater, saying as he went, "Warner Bros. has taught Hollywood a textbook marketing lesson. ”

"But this advantage is not something that every crew can have. "Emma Watson has a fact.

"yes. Matthew sighed, "You can't murder the protagonist of the crew for the sake of promoting the movie, right?"

The two walked all the way to the VIP room, and he asked again, "Emma, aren't you admitted to the USC Film School?"

Emma Watson shook her head, "I thought about it a lot, and I thought it was still Oxford, Cambridge or the Ivy League that would be right for me. She asked rhetorically, "USC has no advantage. ”

"Yes. Matthew said deliberately, "It's close to me, it's convenient for me to take care of you, if you meet a school bully or something, I'll settle it for you." ”

"You?" Emma Watson snorted and said, "Forget it." ”

She pointed to herself, "See, no matter what school you go to, this is the biggest school bully." ”

The two entered the VIP room, and Matthew took Emma Watson around, Emma Watson will definitely be in Hollywood in the future, and he introduced many people to her.

"Hi Charles, this one you should know. ”

Matthew took Emma Watson to meet Charles Rowan, "Emma, this is Charles Rowan, Hollywood's gold producer. ”

"It's too prestigious. Charles Rowan said modestly and shook hands with Emma Watson to say hello.

Just then, a black man with a pair of smuggling ears walked over and greeted Charles Rowan first, "Hi, Charles. ”

Then, he nodded to Matthew again, "Hello, Matthew." ”

Matthew reached out and shook Will Smith and said, "Hello, Will. ”

Will Smith shook hands with Matthew, looked at Emma Watson, and said with a smile, "Hello, Miss Watson, I'm Will Smith. ”

"Hello. "Emma Watson carries the reserved character of a British girl.

After a few pleasantries, someone came over to look for Will Smith, who then took his leave and left.

"Charles. Matthew asked seemingly casually, "Are you familiar with Will?"

"I'm not very familiar with each other, and I've just started dating during this time. Charles Rowan said.

Emma Watson glanced at Matthew curiously and said to Charles Rowan, "Will Smith came to greet you." ”

Matthew couldn't help but sigh at Emma Watson's cleverness, as if he guessed that he was specifically asking about it.

Charles Rowan didn't care at all, and casually explained, "Matthew, do you remember the project I mentioned to you some time ago?"

"Green Lantern?" asked Matthew.

"yes, Green Lantern. Charles Rowan laughed, "We have reached an agreement with Will Smith that he will star as the Green Lantern." ”

"I see. Matthew nodded, then added, "Congratulations, Charles." You've found a star with a huge commercial appeal. ”

Charles Rowan shook his head, "It's far from you." ”

Matthew just smiled, didn't answer his words, and then changed the subject, chatted with Charles Rowan a few more words, and seeing that the time was about the same, he entered the screening room with Emma Watson.

The screening soon began, and after the gloomy opening credits, the Joker appeared.

The unkempt hair, the pale face, the dark circles under the eyes, the bright red lips and scars, the terrifying eyes, the strange laughter, and the poisonous snake that spits out the letter from time to time when he speaks, it is chilling, and there is nothing in the body that is not evil.

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 bits of comic color in "Time to War" have also been abandoned by Christopher Nolan, and "The Dark Knight" is a completely realistic crime movie, extremely serious, extremely dark, and even extremely sad.

Batman won the personal battle with the Joker, but lost the battle of souls in Gotham, the consequences of Harvey Dante's fall are 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.

With the release of this film, a series of astonishing box office figures have been released.

On the same day, 4,466 theaters premiered the film in the North American market, setting a record for the most theater debuts, setting an early box office record of $18.5 million in just three hours of release, and a staggering $66.4 million on the first day of its official release, breaking the single-day box office record of $59.8 million set by "Spider-Man III" last year.

Over the course of three days over the weekend, The Dark Knight grossed $158.1 million, setting a new first-week box office record in North America.

Christopher Nolan also became a god with this film.
