readx;?“ Rosenberg, did you have a sequel in mind when you were making Batman: Time to War? ”

The scale of the press conference was quite large, Warner Bros. rented the front hall of a five-star hotel for this purpose, although there were hundreds of reporters present, but it was quite quiet at the moment, as if he was afraid of missing any of Duke's words, only the voice of the standing reporter echoed around, "There is news that you submitted the outline of the trilogy to Warner at one time." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"The story of Batman never ends, you should all know that."

Holding the microphone in one hand, Duke adjusted the volume slightly and said, "When you watch the first film, you know that this story has to continue, and the reason why I agreed to shoot it is because I happened to have a good story idea and I know how to continue the previous saga." ”

The reporter continued, "The reputation and quality of the sequel have always been worrying, how do you control this 'The Dark Knight'?" ”

"The estimated production cost of 'The Dark Knight' is $150 million, and the most likely problem with a sequel for this kind of big production is that you have more budget and bigger scenes, but in essence, you're still just repeating your previous self-......."

Speaking of this, Duke smiled, no longer revealing anything substantial, and said vaguely, "Since I have recognized the problem in this regard, I have been avoiding making similar mistakes. ”

Reporters are not so easy to give up, and the next reporter from the New York Times who was named asked, "Director Rosenberg, this Batman has high hopes for many Batman fans, they want to see a more outstanding work than "Time to Go to War", I hope to know more relevant news, I guess you won't let them down, right?" ”

Duke thought for a few seconds, seemed to be really moved by the reporter's words, and said, "After my team is in place." I realized that making a sequel was also a great undertaking because we had to revisit all the characters, both the previous ones and the new ones, in anticipation of their appearance on the big screen. It can impress the audience the first time. ”

Now that he opened his mouth, Duke said a few more words, "The Dark Knight can be classified into a huge range in terms of the number of supporting roles, but when you compare it with the original comics, you will find that this number is only the tip of the iceberg." ”

All the eyes of reporters were on him. Duke continued, "We're going to change some of the characters in the comics, even their gender. This is one of our means of improvement, because we read all the manga, so we can only extract the elements we need from them, and then depending on the development of the story, see how we can change the characters and make them work for our own story. ”

This remark sparked a discussion below, and Duke turned his head to look at Warner Bros. Jamie? Fawkes, the other party quietly gave him a thumbs up. Apparently happy with the conversational language.

Subsequently, the reporter turned the question to the actor Christian? Bel.

A reporter from World News asked, "Mr. Bell, you've never been interested in sequel movies, why do you continue to shoot Batman?" ”

Why? Of course, for the high salary and the three contracts signed.

On a budget, Christian? Bell alone earned as much as $15 million, three times more than his role in "Time to Go to War".

Of course, these words cannot be said to journalists.

"'Repeating' the same thing is really not something that people like me would do, and this time I am willing to appear on the big screen with the same face. It's all because of Duke. ”

Christian? Bell turned to Duke and said, "This is our second time working together, and I know him very well. So I knew that he, like me, wouldn't have taken on a sequel if he hadn't thought of some new and different story elements. ”

He gestured a few times, "I like the idea that Duke has instilled in me, because I'm not simply repeating something I've done before, and my character is going to have a very clear development and evolution." What's more, there are also a group of very talented stars involved here, coupled with a harmonious atmosphere of cooperation, I have no reason to refuse, do I? ”

A reporter grabbed something of interest from Bell's words, stood up and asked, "Will Batman have a very obvious development and evolution?" Can you tell us more about it? ”

"Sorry, I haven't got the script yet...... "Christian? Without hesitation, Bell pushed Duke, "About Bruce?" Wayne sets the question of change, you'd better ask the director. ”

The eyes of hundreds of reporters immediately shifted from Bell's to Duke's.

The reporter asked Duke, "In Time to Go to War, Batman has survived his unbearable past and become the superhero of the entire city, will he still be surrounded by the breath of darkness?" ”

"In fact, he has already surpassed the person he wants to be, he has walked out of the painful past, and he has also walked out of the memories that tormented him, so ......"

Duke shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "We'll have to find something new to continue torturing him...... To put it simply, Batman has never been able to get rid of the past, and it is impossible to get rid of it. ”

"He's not going to be Tony? Stark's character, right? ”

As soon as the reporter who asked the question finished speaking, he noticed that the people around him were looking at him with the eyes of a fool, and immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question.

However, Duke still replied, "Batman doesn't have time to be sullen there, and he can't be self-indulgent and vent his anger as he wants, he has to stabilize his emotions at all times." ”

Clearing his throat, Duke added, "Since 'Time to Go to War,' we've tried to get him to face and overcome a variety of obstacles, including anger and hesitation...... So when it comes to The Dark Knight, we're going to make a lot more changes. ”

Turning his head to look at Bell, he continued, "This is by Christian? Bale's character will come out of the painful shadow of his parents being killed, but even so, he is still a very dark character, with Tony? Stark's sunny-type superheroes are worlds apart. ”

The Q&A session of the entire press conference basically revolved around Duke, and everyone was very concerned about where his "The Dark Knight" would take Batman after "Batman: Time to War" created a dark-oriented superhero movie style.

At the end of the press conference, the reporter's questions began to develop towards a rambling trend, and Duke also picked out the newsworthy and topical questions and answered them.

A reporter asked, "Duke, in your opinion, Superman Clark?" Kent and Batman Bruce? What's different Wayne is. ”

"Superman and Batman are arguably the most popular superheroes in the country, maybe we can look at it from a different angle."

After thinking for a few seconds, Duke adjusted the direction of the microphone and said, "I remember someone saying that Superman is the way the United States sees itself, and Batman is the way other countries see the United States......"

Looking at the reporter below, Duke leaned back in his chair, "I have to say, this is a very interesting point, because 'Superman' gives the most intuitive feeling and is undoubtedly the embodiment of the ideal perfection." On the other hand, 'Batman' is more human, he doesn't have so many idealistic rules, so he will be more human when dealing with things, and there are some political elements mixed in - which is the main reason why I like this character. ”

In comics and movies, 'Batman' can make his surroundings messy and chaotic as soon as he appears, making it difficult to immediately distinguish right from wrong with a clear sense of morality, and one of the main themes of "The Dark Knight" is, to a certain extent, based on realism, that no one can be outside the law, not even as a 'vigilant policeman'.

At the end of the press conference, the day's work came to an end for the time being, and Duke didn't stop long, got into Scarlett's red sports car, and went straight back to Malibu.

After dinner, the two went to the garden for a turn, and while sitting in the living room watching TV, Scarlett opened the script of "The Dark Knight" that had been finalized, and after reading it for a while, she suddenly asked, "Who are you setting up the Joker?" Why is he chasing Batman and Harvey? Dante doesn't let go? ”

"The clown keeps irritating Harvey? Dent and Batman, the two incarnations of justice. Duke pointed to the script, "Which even wants Harvey?" Dent kills himself, and Batman kills himself. Because in this way, they will be the same as him, and it will be the logic of the clown who will really master this Gotham. ”

After a few seconds of silence, Duke said in a low voice, "In fact, everyone thinks that his logic is correct, and the world is operating according to the logic he believes, if this world is not like this, we will think that this is just a superficial phenomenon, and the real deep logic must be the one that we have mastered, and to prove this, we only need to 'nudge' others 'lightly', and these people will fall into their own logic." ”

Scarletno pondered, and then turned the conversation to something else, "If a beautiful woman believes that men are not good things, men are only interested in her body and will not love her at all. Well, she will use her body to seduce men, and she will find that all she needs to do is give them a gentle push like this, and these men will turn into perverts. ”

Duke laughed, and said to her, "If a rich man believes that everyone is greedy, and that money can make the undead drive." Then, he will use his money to nudge countless people with a gentle push, and these people will fall into his grasp.

"What about the clown?" Scarlett asked again. (To be continued.) )
