readx;?“ Duke? It is an indisputable fact that Rosenberg has a soft spot for IMAX, with the successful precedent of the previous "The Dark Knight", and his "The Dark Knight Rises" this summer is even more daring, with more than 1 hour of footage shot entirely with IMAX cameras, and this is also the record for the most IMAX shooting time in a Hollywood movie so far! ”

As the release time gets closer and closer, Warner Bros. has more and more publicity of all kinds, and IMAX is undoubtedly one of the promotional points of the film. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info【Latest chapter reading】

In early April, Warner Bros. hosted a six-minute IMAX clip for fans and media reporters, and the screening was overwhelmingly well received.

"When the lights dim and start playing, you can feel the energy rising in the auditorium!"

"It feels amazing!"

Such statements are also circulating on the Internet.

Corresponding to this is a comment from Duke on IMAX.

"When we found out that we had assembled a team to shoot a movie in Hollywood with IMAX machines, a lot of people told us it was too difficult, and how ironic it was. If these cameras can go up to the Himalayas, down into the deep sea, and even into outer space, why can't we use them for film? ”

A few days later, the Dark Knight Rising crew held a global press conference at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Hollywood.

Duke this director leads the starring Christian? Bell, Gary? Oldman, Gail? Gadot, James? Franco, Michael? Kane, Lawrence? Fishburne, soundtrack Hans? Zimmer, producer Charles? Luo Wen and other main creators attended the press conference and answered questions from global media.

It was undoubtedly a major promotional event for The Dark Knight Rise, attracting nearly 700 journalists from all over the venue, and NBC also broadcast it live to North America and overseas via a television signal.

"Undoubtedly, Duke? Rosenberg's "Batman: Time to War" and "The Dark Knight" not only took the Batman movie, but also the entire superhero movie to a whole new level, which is why the final episode of "The Dark Knight Rises" is highly anticipated by fans around the world. ”

Before the press conference began, NBC reporters were next to the somewhat chaotic live broadcast footage, "Regarding the ending set by the film for Batman, Duke previously said that he had thought about the ending of the story first. Going backwards to conceive other plots, he said that "Batman" is a comic book that has been serialized for more than 70 years, and the characteristics of serialization require that the story can be extended endlessly, but he hopes that this trilogy will become a self-contained story. So the third part must draw a perfect end to the whole story. ”

The press conference quickly kicked off, and when asked if he would ever direct a "Batman" movie in the future, Duke made it clear that it was time to say goodbye to "Batman", "I spent almost a decade on Batman, and it was a very important period in my life. It's been an amazing journey, and it's time for this journey to come to an end. It's a bit sad for me to leave the series, and of course I might work with the crew on other films, but for the Batman franchise, it's time to say goodbye. ”

At the press conference, compared to Duke's calm and eloquent talk, Christian? Bale doesn't seem to have fully emerged from the role of Batman, and his eyes are deep and often lost in thought.

When asked by the media "which villain in the Batman series you would most like to play", Bale gave a somewhat surprising answer, saying that Batman has villain colors. "The reason why I like Batman is that he is almost a bad person, he walks on the edge of good and evil, he has evil thoughts in his heart, but he can always restrain those thoughts and make sure that he is still on the side of justice. Batman is chivalrous on the surface, but his real motives are not so simple in his heart, but fortunately he can use altruism to restrain himself and ensure that he is still a good person. ”

Like Duke, "The Dark Knight Rises" is also destined to be Christian? When Bale says goodbye to the character of Batman. Bell seems to have mixed feelings about the farewell moment, "Like Duke said, this trilogy is also an important part of my life. However, Duke's decision on the film has always been the right one, and he said that it was the time to say goodbye, and that could not be wrong. ”

After routine interviews with other actors, almost all reporters focused on Duke, and questions came at him like a wave. Most of the time, Duke is basically always there to answer questions.

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times was the first to stand up and ask, "Is it tricky for you to deal with the ending of the previous "Dark Knight" and the plot connection of this one?" How will the ending of the previous film affect the characters in this film? ”

"As the third film in the series, our challenge was to shoot a story that was worth telling and made the audience feel the need to come back to the series, to Gotham City."

Adjusting to a comfortable sitting position, Duke was ready to fight with reporters for a long time, and said, "From the beginning, I didn't want to use this film as just a simple episode in the Batman series, but the three parts before and after it should form a complete story, so the ending of the previous movie must have an impact on the plot of the film, the story of the previous part still has a deep meaning in this one, and the story of the previous part must continue to extend in this one, which is the starting point of our thinking." ”

After being named, the reporter from Entertainment Weekly took the microphone and asked, "Why do you insist on using IMAX technology?" ”

"I didn't deliberately insist on anything, it was just a choice. When I've shot with IMAX and projected the film onto a huge screen, I can say that I've never seen any other film format match the image quality of IMAX. For me, the characters and stories of the Batman series are a kind of transcendent existence, and IMAX's super-sized images reflect this quality of the film. ”

Duke knows the essentials of propaganda very well, and then says with a smile, "We only use four IMAX cameras in the world, and when we were filming Rise of the Dark Knight, we broke one, so there are only three left in the world." ”

Laughter erupted at the press conference.

These words are true, while filming a crash scene, an IMAX camera was unfortunately destroyed, and this is already the second IMAX camera destroyed by Duke.

After the laughter stopped, Duke added, "IMAX can entice audiences to leave the TV at home and go to the cinema to watch the film, because IMAX's huge visual effects can't be created in the living room, and now it's getting harder and harder to get the audience to leave the house and go to the cinema to watch the movie, but IMAX gives the audience a reason to do so." ”

A reporter from the Boston Globe asked, "It is said that this film is the longest shot with IMAX so far, may I ask the director, how did you decide which shots to shoot with IMAX cameras and which shots to shoot with ordinary cameras?"

After thinking about it for a while, Duke gave an interesting answer, "Because IMAX cameras are relatively noisy, dialogue scenes are generally shot with ordinary digital cameras, but fights and war scenes are usually shot with IMAX cameras. ”

Laughter was heard again.

Because a 6-minute IMAX editing has been held before, the plot of the film has been revealed to the public, so the next "Times" reporter asked about the plot, "This film seems to have some political implications, and the plot of Bane leading the mob to sabotage in the test screening will definitely become a very controversial scene, do you want to make a very political film from the beginning?" ”

"I don't think my films are ever very political. When "The Dark Knight" was released, many people looked at it from a political point of view......"

"In fact, the purpose of our films is to entertain, to tell a good story. I like to structure the plot in a fictional setting like Gotham City, so that the film can resonate more broadly with the audience, because everyone can bring their own environment into the film. In this process, it is inevitable that some viewers may interpret the film from a political perspective according to their own ideas. ”

The New York Times reporter took aim at several newcomers, "The previous film in the series was an unprecedented success, will this put pressure on you to make this film?" Especially for the new actors who joined this time, is there extra pressure?

"It's true that the success of the previous one put a lot of pressure on us. But when we sat down and started thinking about this film, all we wanted was to make this film well, and we couldn't deliberately replicate the success of the previous one. ”

Duke took over the question first, "The success of the previous film was incredible, and sometimes I can't explain it myself, which is great. But the real pressure is from the studios, who spend so much money to make movies and do promotions, and my films have to make money for them, and that's where the pressure lies. ”

The mic went to Gail? On Gadot's side, she said, "I was a little nervous at first, because the other actors were more or less working with Duke, but I was a newcomer. However, everyone was very enthusiastic on the set and gave me a briefing, and Duke and the main actors treated me no differently than the other old members, and the anxiety at the beginning gradually improved.

James? Franco's face was filled with a sunny smile, "When The Dark Knight came out, I watched it twice and loved it, but I didn't think I'd be a part of the series. After that, I worked with Duke on Inception, which was an adventure full of surprises and thrills, and then I went one step further and got the chance to star in this film. For me, it's really a dream come true. ”

At the end of the press conference, the first trailer for The Dark Knight Rises was announced. (To be continued.) )
