[The old donkey has been slacking off in the past two days, set up a flag, and promised to break out tomorrow, otherwise it will be diced! ] 】

Everything is ready to go, just waiting to be turned on.

For this Batman sequel, Warner can be said to be united, and even the launch conference has to hold a grand dinner.

There is no wind or rain tonight, no moon and no stars. New York, which has just passed winter, is still very cold. The bustling city of New York City is known as the city that never sleeps, and it lives up to its name. Even at night, the lights are still bright, and in places that ordinary people can't see, singing and dancing all night long. And in the low alleys, there may be several violent crimes...... Money mixes with violence, and that's New York.

At this time, a group of characters in suits and leather shoes stood at the top of the Time Warner building, accompanying Hu Yifei to blow the cold wind.

Hu Yifei stepped aside, overlooking the entire city, "It's worthy of a metropolis." Charles, are you ready? ”

"Of course, do you want to open it now?" He directs the two men to pull open the covered tarpaulin, revealing that the prop that is only in the movie is the Batman searchlight. Previously, he was commissioned by Hu Yifei to create a really usable bat lamp here. He was still a little puzzled, but now he was full of admiration. If the bat lights go up in the night sky of New York tonight, it's guaranteed that all the entertainment headlines will go to The Dark Knight tomorrow.

Warner Bros. President Jeff was also very satisfied with this trick and said with a smile: "Hu, it's up to you to turn on the searchlight, it's time for the batlight to shine again in the sky over the United States." ”

Hu Yifei excused himself: "I think it's better to leave it to Mr. Christian Bale, who else is more suitable to turn on this light than Batman." ”

Christian Bale was still about to resign, but seeing that everyone was looking at him, he just stepped forward to take the errand. Pressing the switch button, there was the sound of an electric current surging engine turning in the bat lamp, and there was a clear "buzz" sound, and a huge knot white beam suddenly shone on the thick dark clouds in the sky.

"Papapa~~" There was a burst of applause at the scene.

Many New Yorkers who travel at night are stunned when they suddenly look up and see the huge bat lantern sign in the sky. Then the camera took out his phone to take pictures and leave evidence. Someone else called the police and asked the police to go and catch Batman.

The next day, several major media outlets published the news of "Batman is back", and the "New York Times" even more exaggerated headline "Batlights Shine Again in the American Night Sky" to announce the reboot of the Batman series. I have to say that Hu Yifei's small idea immediately made Batman's attention burst, which was far from being comparable to the original Nolan period.

New concept art of the Batcar, Batmobile, and Batman's new gear also appeared on the network in due course. Although vague and obscure, the words are enough to cheer Batman fans.

At least in their opinion, it would be a great experience for the director of Inception to be in charge of the Batman sequel. The market response was good, and Warner Bros. was more motivated.

It is expected that next summer, "The Dark Knight" will be released.

Because "Inception" was previously shot in IMAX format, it became the first full-length movie ever shot in imax. People rushed to IMAX theaters to see the stunning visuals on the big high-definition screens, which also earned "Inception" more than $900 million at the global box office. This time, "The Dark Knight" naturally continued to be filmed in IMAX.

The 4 main action series scenes in the film will be shot in IMAX, and many static dramatic moments will be filmed, which will definitely allow the audience's visual system to get the highest level of enjoyment.

However, the real filming location of the movie is not in New York, but in Chicago.

After all, the cost of filming in New York is too high, and there are too many landmarks in New York, which does not fit the image of Gotham City. Because of the use of a large number of police group performances in the movie, the crew even signed an agreement with the Chicago Police Department that whenever the police officers of the police department are not on duty, they will come to the set and make cameo appearances as police officers in Gotham City in the film.

With the funds allocated by Warner Bros. in place, the new "Batman" series of movies has been officially announced.

"Essentially, the new Batman trilogy has been off to a good start by Nolan, although it still falls under the category of science fiction films. But there's a clear difference from the traditional Batman, and I'm going to give him a more realistic style. Whether it is the script, character design, props and fighting actions, etc., they must be consistent with this style. Facing the team members, Hu Yifei said.

There is no need to say anything about the dark style of the film, except for Joe Schumacher's nondescript, several Batman movies are basically dark style.

"In 'Lost in the Shadows,' Bruce Wayne went from a god to a man." Hu Yifei continued to emphasize: "Then in "The Dark Knight", he will become more flesh and blood. There is persistence, there is sadness, there is emotion, and there is also loss. It is not terrible to be lost, the important thing is to be able to find oneself and redeem oneself after being lost. ”

The protagonists of DC comics are often a bit tall and comprehensive, and the mythological color is very obvious.

Such heroes are too detached from the public and do not have the character of ordinary people at all, and the failure of the reboot of the former people is the best example. In contrast, DC Comics is more brilliant than villains, such as the Joker and the Two-Faced Man, etc.

Compared with Nolan, who is a standard film maniac, Hu Yifei is much more flexible, and he will not rigidly use live action shooting. The exterior of the city will be shot as live as possible to make the film more realistic and believable, but where it should be used to synthesize the picture by computer, Hu Yifei will not hesitate. He's not Christopher Nolan, and he doesn't insist that all footage must be shot in real action or with models, and in the age of computers, the cost of CGI is falling, which is more cost-effective, time-saving, and labor-saving than shooting with prop models.

Not to mention, it can also bring a single business to its own digital field.

But for this movie and Hu Yifei, the difficulty is not the shooting, but the performance.

He will challenge himself to a very favorite character, the Joker.

……

On January 15, 2007, Hu Yifei has been debuting for five years.

His seventh film was officially launched.

On the set of Nuoda, Hu Yifei unscrewed the water bottle and drank slowly, everything was like yesterday, and the whole crew came and went, busy with their own things. The corners of his mouth curled up with a smile of reminiscence: "I think when I first filmed "Crazy Stone", it was still a grass stage team, and it coincided with SARS, and the whole crew was trembling. just filmed scene after scene...... "At the beginning, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to direct such a big name movie."

He took two turns around the set and patted Christian Bale on the shoulder as he walked by: "Dude, how are you preparing, it's time to turn on!" ”

Bell smiled, "No problem, turn it on at any time." ”

The bearded Valephaest, carrying a video camera on his shoulder, and a sound engineer holding a microphone pole, are also filming Hu Yifei as he introduces the set of "The Dark Knight", which will be included in the behind-the-scenes footage of the DVD in the future, along with the opening ceremony in the afternoon.

Seeing that the preparations were almost complete, Hu Yifei took a microphone handed over by his subordinates, stood on a high place and shouted: "Guys, ......"

The shrill sound of the horn made everyone stop what they were doing and look at the director of the movie.

I saw Hu Yifei standing on a high place, overlooking the audience and said: "Guys, in the next few months, everyone will spend time together." All the Dark Knight actors, cinematographers, recording studios, prop artists, special effects artists...... It's all in one place. Some of them have worked with me before, and some of them have come from all over the world. In order to fulfill a common dream. ”

Seeing everyone's serious faces, Hu Yifei smiled, he was no longer nervous at the beginning, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your participation, I hope that this experience in my life will be very memorable, and I also hope that during this large period of time, all of us will do our best for the movie "The Dark Knight". ”

"I believe that I am a trustworthy director, you can come to me if you have any questions, I will solve all conflicts, and I will be more effective than the police in Gotham City." Hu Yifei paused, glanced at the smiling crowd, and finally said: "Believe me, this story will once again leave a strong trace in the history of American comic book hero adaptation, and everyone will be very grateful that they have participated in it after the movie is released." Even if you are old, you will continue to brag about your children and grandchildren. The Dark Knight was the movie I worked on, and I did something in the movie. I expected so...... Thank you! ”

"Bang Bang!"

Thunderous applause resounded through the green screen studio again, and everyone laughed and applauded vigorously. The heroine Kate Beckinsale is also applauding vigorously, "This person is really convincing, and a simple speech can make people believe it." No wonder so much has been achieved. ”

When the applause was almost over, Hu Yifei raised the microphone again and said, "OK, now everyone, let's take action." The staff paid attention to the clearance and prepared to start filming. ”

Suddenly, the actions of the entire crew immediately accelerated by a few paces, as if they had suddenly entered fast-forward mode.

After a while, it was finally about to be officially turned on, and Hu Yifei asked Bell: "How do you feel, this is the first shot." ”

Christian Bale took a deep breath, but his face was very serious, and said solemnly: "Galen, do you know? I used to audition for the role, but I was mostly there to be famous, and then I met a little boy who came to me wearing a Batman hood and said, 'You're a superhero.'" That's when I realized that my mindset had changed. Batman is not just a character that made me famous, but also a belief. ”

He smiled and said in the tone of Bruce Wayne's voice, "I'm always ready." ”

Hu Yifei didn't say anything, patted him on the shoulder, "Ready to shoot." ”

“Ready？”

“ok！”

“Ation！”
