Push the car door, James? Holmes put on a long, worn-out backpack with an AR-15 rifle in it, adjusted it slightly, left the parking lot, and walked unhindered into the Santa Monica shopping plaza by bright lights. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info【Latest chapter reading】

It's past midnight, and there aren't many people in the commercial plaza, even if you meet a few, see James? Holmes's weird clown costume didn't feel strange either, there were too many people in similar costumes here tonight.

Before nine o'clock in the evening, James? Holmes walked into the Santa Monica Mall, chose the theater and the theater, and without any hesitation, walked through the long corridor and directly entered the open theater.

There are not many people in the front hall of the theater, and "The Dark Knight Rises" has begun for nearly thirty minutes, and most fans have already run to the theater.

The staff standing behind the ticket office glanced at James? Holmes, then bowed his head and continued to go about his work, in his eyes, this is just an ordinary avid movie fan.

As a high-achieving student who graduated with a master's degree from a prestigious university, James? Holmes's head was absolutely good, he didn't have any cover, and walked calmly towards the theater that had been inspected, but halfway through, he quickly left the corridor while no one was paying attention, turned into the safe passage next to it, and after looking around, he untied his backpack, took out the AR-15 rifle from it, and opened the safe.

Touched the Colt pistol under the purple coat again, James? Holmes strode towards the safe exit of an IMAX auditorium.

Standing outside the security door, he could hear the exciting soundtrack inside, which also made his blood boil even more.

Didn't make much effort, James? Holmes opened the security door and entered the theater through the security exit in the form of a special forces assault, and the military training he had experienced played a role, and his movements were clean and neat, without attracting the attention of the audience at all.

No one noticed him either, and all the audience was captivated by the screening of The Dark Knight Rises.

Maybe it's a coincidence. James? When Holmes entered the theater, it was just as the first shootout in The Dark Knight Rises.

James? Holmes took out the tear gas he had prepared, pulled off the safety pin and threw it towards the center of the auditorium, then raised the muzzle of the gun. Aimed at the nearest few people, and used the "point s" technique hit by the s, easily making them burst into brilliant blood flowers.

Gunshots rang out, and still no one noticed, Jessica? Gavi heard gunshots. Thinking it was just the sound effects of the film, it wasn't until choking smoke wafted in and panicked screams rang out that she realized she had encountered this kind of bad luck again.

Gunshots, screams, howls...... These voices finally overwhelmed the film, and countless people fled for their lives in a panic, which led to a stampede tragedy.

Seeing the blood splatters, hearing the terrified howls, seeing the panicked crowd, James? Holmes was even more excited. At this moment he felt that he was the Joker, and although the great Joker had been murdered by Batman's fans, the Joker had been reborn in him under his blazing flames of revenge.

"I'm the clown!"

In the sound of gunfire, mixed with James? Holmes's sinister smile, "I'm the Joker!" The Joker is back! ”

It's too chaotic in the theater and too many people, James? Holmes simply gave up on the dot and began to sweep the S with an AR-15 rifle, and he didn't know how many of them hit. It's just that after firing a magazine, he escaped from the Colt pistol and fired at the crowd repeatedly.

Listen to the chaotic voices around you, Jessica? Gavi was already lying on the ground, with a burning pain in his legs and head. She looked at the ceiling and felt that the pattern on it was getting blurred, and it seemed as if a man was yelling in her ear to hold on.

There was darkness in front of me, and I don't know why, Jessica? Garvey suddenly thought of "The Grim Reaper" he had watched, and he escaped in Toronto. Could it be that in the end, he still can't escape the pursuit of death?

Subsequently, she lost consciousness.

Before the safe exit, James? Holmes had emptied his pistol magazine, and he knew that the theater must have called the police, and the police would be there soon, so he didn't hesitate, turned his head out of the safety exit, and ran quickly down the long passage to the outside of the mall.

Maybe it's too unlucky, or maybe it's fate, James? Holmes had gone wrong with the retreat, a door in the commercial center had been closed and locked because it was too late, and he had to take a detour back to where his car was, and before he could start it, several police cars surrounded him.

Against an unarmed general audience, James? Holmes is like a clown, but what about the police?

Reality is not a movie after all, and James, who thinks he is a clown reborn? Holmes didn't even wait for SWAT to show up, and without any decent resistance, he was handcuffed by several police officers.

"I'm a clown!"

When he was stuffed into a police car, James? Holmes was still shouting frantically.

Before the police car left the Santa Monica Mall, a large number of reporters and paparazzi had already swarmed in, and soon heard the news of the "clown" crazy massacre, in this Internet age, no one can suppress this kind of news, at least not in this land.

Malibu, not far from Santa Monica, was unusually peaceful, the Eye Villa of the Duke's Manor was pitch black, and in the master bedroom on the top floor, Duke was already asleep, and in his sleep he seemed to have flown to the other side of the Pacific Ocean and found himself who also lived during this time period.

At that time, he was already the head of the fireworks team of a small and small crew, and he was ambitious to become a director, first make some achievements in the TV drama industry, and then enter the film industry, and strive to become a more successful film director before the age of 50.

If you can win a certain international reputation, it is even more of a matter of waking up with a smile when you sleep.

Even, at that time, he still had the dream of leading Chinese films to the world, but he knew very well that this dream could not be accomplished by anyone alone.

Maybe the dream turned to reality, Duke suddenly woke up, he opened his eyes, and looked to the side, Scarlett? Johnson was asleep.

Looking at the dark window instead, Duke couldn't help but think of the dream he had just had, if he wasn't in Hollywood, but in China, he might be able to become a member of the top of the circle, but it was impossible to lead Chinese films around the world.

He once read a lot of people's claims, such as copying Hollywood movies into Chinese movies.

Oh...... This idea is very beautiful, but cultural differences are not just as simple as words, even if you ignore cultural differences, ignore that this is a world where Western culture and values are rampant, there is no outstanding industrial chain effect, there is no perfect broker system, there is no mature production system, there is no advanced special effects production industry, and there is no strong financing environment......

These are definitely not things that can be done by one person.

Shaking his head, Duke dissipated these thoughts and returned to reality completely, replacing his mind with a more realistic Hollywood.

After so many years of smooth development, Hollywood has actually hit its ceiling - the capacity of the North American market cannot be further expanded.

In order to break through this ceiling, it is not difficult to find that Hollywood has begun to do a lot of things, and the international market is becoming more and more important to Hollywood, especially the expanding Chinese market.

At the same time, Hollywood is getting closer and closer to Silicon Valley, and OON and even Apple have become Hollywood's partners.

From channel licensing, to content cooperation, to technological innovation, Silicon Valley with new technologies is also influencing the development of Hollywood.

Of course, even if Hollywood hits its own ceiling, it is still the most developed film industry in the world.

Nowadays, many professional critics are unwilling to be lonely and have issued their own cries, believing that the mature genre film and blockbuster model has become a kind of imprisonment for innovation, Hollywood is increasingly lacking in creativity and creative ability, blockbusters, big productions and cinematic universes, and sequel movies have completely become the mainstream of Hollywood, while those films that have innovated in theme or form have failed miserably.

However, these people deliberately ignore that the so-called fiasco of some films with innovative themes or forms is not the choice of the film studio, but the choice of the market, to be precise, the audience's own choice!

What mainstream audiences like to watch, what type of movies they like to pay for, Hollywood will meet their requirements, if the mainstream audience likes literary films, Duke dares to guarantee that there will not be many commercial big productions in the summer in the next few years, and then a long list of literary films will be lined up for release.

Almost everyone understands that the box office is only a part of the revenue of a Hollywood film, but some people ignore that in this era, the box office is the basis for the subsequent revenue generation of the film.

The film was a hot box office, and the subsequent DVDs, Internet and TV copyrights could all be sold at a good price, and some people around naturally bought it, and image licensing was also a matter of course.

If a film only makes a few million dollars at the box office, can you expect it to sell for its DVDs, online and TV rights for a high price?

Few of the businesses revolving around this industry are fools, and the dollar is constantly depreciating, and it takes more than ten years to make a profit by selling merchandise like some films, and the producers may also want to cry without tears.

Just as Duke was thinking about it and was about to fall back asleep, there was a sharp knock on the door.

A knock on the door woke Scarlett? Johnson, she rolled over and muttered, "Who? ”

Knocking on his door so late, except for the butler Emma, it is Tina, who often lives in the Duke's manor? Fei, they must have been in a hurry. (~^~)

ps: It's the New Year, the thirteenth is here to greet everyone for the New Year, I wish you all good luck in the New Year, a great fortune in the New Year, and a good New Year! Happy Chinese New Year! Happy Chinese New Year! Say the important thing three times......
