In recent years, San Diego Comic-Con has become another major promotional front for Hollywood movies outside of the Super Bowl, and Warner Bros. has chartered an entire showroom at Comic-Con to promote its films.

In the exhibition hall, the most eye-catching are "The Dark Knight" and "Terminator 4".

The Dark Knight exhibition area gathered a large number of journalists and fans today.

The reporters in the front row set up their long guns and short guns, just waiting for the propaganda to begin.

Cole, a reporter from Empire, was chatting with a few of his peers.

"On the notice issued by Warner, the two protagonists, Bell and Martin, will be promoted on the same stage today."

"Remember last year's news? Because he was too deep into the role and affected by the character's emotions, Martin and Bale fought on the set. ”

"I know, Bell was hospitalized for mental illness, Martin still sees a psychiatrist every week, and he even went to the psychiatric center of Presbyterian Hospital when he was filming a new film in New York!"

"Have you seen the latest trailer? The Joker is a madman who is extremely evil, and it's normal for Batman to be unable to stand beating him. ”

"You're confusing filming with reality."

"Isn't that what top-notch characterization and acting is all about?"

The surrounding sounds suddenly disappeared, and the entire media area and audience area fell silent, but it was Nolan, the director of the film, who stepped onto the stage.

Right backstage, in the waiting area, Martin was accompanied by Bruce, ready to take the stage.

On the other side, Bell, who had not been seen for a long time, slowly walked to the waiting area opposite.

Nolan's voice came at this time: "Batman Christian Bale, please appear!" ”

Bell turned off the stage and went backstage, cooperating with Nolan to answer questions from some media reporters and fans.

Bruce listened to the voice in front of him and said to Martin, "Bell seems to be in a much more stable mood. ”

Martin said: "I didn't stimulate him continuously. ”

Bruce reminded, "You shoot lightly, don't beat people up." ”

Martin said: "Today's theme is mutual assault, Batman and Joker fighting each other, not one-sided assault. ”

After a long period of foreshadowing, he and Bale have psychological and spiritual problems because they have been substituted too deep into the role, which has become widely known.

But the media and the public don't yet know how serious these effects will be.

Soon, Nolan's voice came from the front of the stage: "Martin Davis, please come on!" ”

Martin straightened his suit slightly, walked briskly onto the stage, and waved at the media reporters and the large number of red T-shirts below.

The applause rang out, much warmer than when Bell came on the stage.

Martin lowered his hand and turned his gaze ahead to see Bell in a handmade suit.

Almost at the same time, Bell's face turned to look at Martin.

The two looked at each other, and the air seemed to be distorted and ignited.

The media reporters in the audience, who had a particularly keen sense of smell, seemed to smell a burnt smell.

Cole, a reporter for Empire, whispered, "These two seem like natural rivals." ”

On stage, Bell had a serious expression and was resolute and fearless, as if he was a natural messenger of justice.

Martin burst out laughing, and at first smiled very brightly, comparable to the midday sun in Southern California.

When he laughs brightest, his smile becomes crazy and wicked, making people shudder.

Martin said to Nolan and Bell, "Why are you so serious? ”

Nolan didn't say anything, he had already arranged the script.

Bell suddenly strode towards Martin, walking faster and faster, and at the same time roared: "Bastard, you sold your soul to the devil, you are an evil and chaotic devil. ”

Martin was still laughing.

Although there is a script, but the new hatred adds the old hatred, Bell is angry, and the anger on his face is not acted.

He's always wanted to beat up this bastard!

Bell lunged up, like Batman, and punched Martin in the head.

Martin reached out to block it, and Bell's fist slammed into his shoulder, and he laughed louder instead.

Bell threw a second punch.

If it weren't for the film's promotional needs, Batman couldn't be unilaterally beaten, and Martin would have been able to hit Bell with a knee just now, turning him into a boiled prawn.

He struggled to hold Bell's arm, and the two turned into wrestling gestures.

The media reporters and fans under the stage were stunned: what happened, the two protagonists of the film fought on the set?

These people have all seen the trailer released by the crew, and there is an illusion that Batman and the Joker have fought from the screen to reality?

Not only the reporter was stunned, but even Nolan and the staff on the stage were stunned, and no one stepped forward to separate Martin and Bell for a while.

The cameras, cameras, and camcorders of the reporters were always on camera, and the fast-responding fans pulled out their phones to take photos and videos.

With a plop, Bell and Martin on the stage fell to the floor one after another, entangled with each other.

Bell kept roaring: "You chaotic and evil devil! ”

Martin just laughed heartily!

Nolan seemed to react at this time, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Hurry up and separate them! His voice was very loud, and through the microphone on the neckline, it spread throughout the audience: "Damn, those two characters are still influencing them!" ”

Several staff members ran over to pull the rack.

Bruce also took the stage in case something unexpected happened.

Several people surrounded Martin and Bell, and Nolan couldn't reach out, but he truly interpreted the professional accomplishment of a commercial director

"Bell, you're not Batman now! Martin, you're not a clown either! Enough is enough for the two of you! He was so anxious that his face turned red and his neck was swollen: "This is San Diego, this is the real world you live in, not Gotham!" ”

Eventually, Martin and Bell separated, and several staff members stood in the middle of the two, separating them.

Bell's face was full of anger.

Martin was still smiling, smiling wantonly, insane, and wicked.

It's time to wrap up this one-of-a-kind campaign.

Nolan commanded Martin and Bell to take them away, and specially told them through the microphone: "Go separately, don't let them meet again!" They're still under the influence of Batman's emotions with the Joker! ”

When the two were persuaded to step down, Nolan said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, there were some unexpected circumstances that made it impossible for the interaction to continue, and I can only come here in the morning." ”

Many reporters shouted below: "Did they fight because of Batman and the Joker?" ”

Nolan said: "I urgently need to understand their situation now, please pay attention to the crew announcement, we will report the specific situation as soon as possible." ”

No longer caring about the crowd of reporters and fans, Nolan left the stage in a hurry.

In a break room backstage, Martin took off his torn coat, tossed it aside, and said, "Sure enough, luxury goods are disposable." ”

Bruce looked: "They all say that a gift is worn twice, and it is very cheap." ”

He saw Martin shaking his hand and asked, "You're not hurt, are you?" ”

Martin rubbed his fingers and said, "I pinched both of Bell's wrists during the bracket, and I may have used a little hard force to make my fingers hurt." ”

He rubbed his hands: "Bell's wrists are too hard, not soft enough. ”

Bruce infinitely sympathetic: "Poor Bell. ”

In the other break room, Bell had his hands in front of him, grinning as he watched his wrists hurt.

Both wrists were blue, and in some places purple.

How much effort did that bastard use?

Bell suspected that if someone hadn't come and pulled it open in time, his wrist bone might have cracked.

In the exhibition hall, the reporters scattered like crazy, each holding the camera, looking for a place to transmit information, today's big news, must be sent out as soon as possible.

The Internet age is different from what it used to be, and they used to wait for the next day to publish a newspaper, and they could move slowly.

Now, timeliness is more important than anything else.

A reporter from TMZ found a place with a better wireless signal, asked his colleague to take out his laptop and connect to the computer, and quickly sent out the video he shot, and then called Jody: "Head, big news, Bell and Martin fought, these two people don't seem to have completely come out of Batman and Joker, they start fighting without saying a word when they meet, and justice and evil collide super big in reality!" ”

Jody said, "You continue to stare at the Dark Knight crew, and it's clear that Martin and Bale's character-induced psychological issues haven't been completely resolved. ”

She reacted super quickly: "I had people go to the Beverly Psychiatric Clinic, and Martin might go to his psychiatrist." ”

It took a long time for the video to be transmitted back to TMZ headquarters.

Jody personally edits the news and doesn't need too much text, she called up the video of Martin and Bell breaking out on the set because of the conflict on the set because of the role being too deep, plus Bell receiving psychological treatment, a series of news that Martin goes to the psychological clinic every week, which is synthesized into a column.

She called the editor-in-chief for instructions, and a new section was added to the TMZ website dedicated to news videos related to the Dark Knight, especially Martin and Bale's illness.

As soon as the video news was released, it aroused the strong curiosity of the people who eat melons.

Under the intentional guidance of the professional team hired by Warner Bros., the focus of the melon-eating masses has become what kind of plot and characters the Dark Knight has, which has affected the two protagonists so much.

At the same time, under the lens of countless media reporters, Martin, accompanied by Bruce, boarded a helicopter and left San Diego early and returned to Los Angeles.

Then another reporter photographed Bell leaving at the San Diego airport

Subsequently, the Dark Knight crew held a press conference, and Nolan came forward on behalf of the crew to brief the morning and the condition of Martin and Bell.

"The two actors were not in good spirits and left San Diego early." He had a heavy face: "Martin and Bale are both dedicated and good actors, and they have paid a lot to play the two roles of Joker and Batman." I didn't expect that two special characters would affect reality......"

In addition to filming and producing movies, Nolan's ability to promote hype is also outstanding.

Later, in the face of the siege of reporters, he calmly answered all kinds of difficult questions, and constantly used language arts to stimulate the curiosity and exploration of the Dark Knight in media entertainment.

Before night, the Dark Knight, along with Martin and Bale, entered the top three of Google's hot searches.
