As soon as the helicopter entered the Los Angeles range, Bruce stabbed Martin with his finger and pointed out the window.

Martin held the soundproof headset in one hand and turned his head to look over there, where a helicopter marked with the word TV followed in the distance, flying from a safe distance, and faintly visible people and cameras.

This is completely the media treatment that only superstars have!

Of course, it may also be that Nolan prepared in advance, after all, now is to build up the momentum big enough.

Martin's helicopter flew to Beverly Hills and landed on the tarmac of his newly acquired estate.

Thomas, who was waiting here, immediately let Martin get in the car, and Bruce drove straight to the psychiatric clinic on Sunset Boulevard, with the helicopter in the sky following all the way.

In front of the psychological clinic, more than 20 Yuji paparazzi who had already gotten the news were waiting here.

Ivan let the news out before the helicopter took off from San Diego.

Several male staff members on the clinic maintained a passage, and as soon as the Cadillac driven by Bruce arrived, they immediately blocked the crowd of reporters and let Martin enter the clinic as soon as possible.

The doorway has been flooded with camera flashes.

In the office facing the street on the third floor, the biggest partner of the clinic is smiling from ear to ear, is there a better way to promote it?

Hollywood stars are stressed on average, and they are all high-quality customers!

The partner picked up the phone, dialed the number of Martin's exclusive doctor, waited for it to be connected, and said, "Laura, I don't care if Martin asks for anything, you have to accept it, understand?" Even if he asks you to relax in a striptease, you have to cooperate! ”

"But......" hesitated.

"That's all!" The partner hung up the phone.

Downstairs in the clinic, Laura saw Martin come in and said, "Just sit down, what can I do for you?" ”

Martin pointed to the cabinet behind her, "Where's my blanket?" ”

Laura opened the cabinet and took out a blanket and gave it to Martin: "You don't need counseling?" ”

Martin came to the long-haired and lay down, and said, "Unless you are willing to help me build an army of beautiful women, together they will fight in Washington, capture the White House, and dissolve the American Union." ”

Seeing that Martin didn't make any over-the-top moves, Laura relieved herself and said with a smile, "Aren't you the leader of the Coke God Cult?" Call on your congregation to come with you. ”

Martin is talking nonsense: "There is a lack of a saint who will brainwash people." ”

Laura was curious: "Does the saint have to do anything else besides brainwashing?" ”

Martin said casually, "If you're willing to do something else, I don't mind." ”

"What about the salary of the saint?" Laura is very curious, in fact, if the salary is high enough, it is not impossible to consider changing careers.

After all, it's just a profession, just making money.

Martin laughed: "Of course it's free, you have to understand one thing, the saint is engaged in the great cause of dissolving the American Federation, which should not be measured by money, and many people are even willing to give all their family property to join this great cause." ”

Laura shrugged: "Your brainwashing level is very poor and lacks temptation. ”

"That's why I need a professional like you." Martin stopped and slept with a blanket.

Laura sat back at the table, took out a book, and read it slowly.

Forty minutes later, Martin woke up from a light sleep, folded the blanket and handed it to Laura, went to the matching bathroom, washed up briefly, and prepared to leave.

Laura suddenly said, "Remember to come on time every week." ”

Martin replied, "No problem. ”

The phone rings on the table, and the partner asks Laura to go to the reception room.

Martin had already coordinated with the Dark Knight crew to have Thomas hold a press conference about him, and Laura would be his psychiatrist.

Because Martin was generous and the reward was sufficient, Laura hardly thought about it and agreed to it.

The following morning, Thomas held a press conference on behalf of Martin in the Warner Building Press Room.

Laura, who is wearing a black suit, is somewhat unconfident in the face of many media cameras, but the basic psychological quality is still there, and he only needs to introduce Martin's "illness".

In Laura's introduction, Martin's situation is not particularly serious, but it cannot be ignored and must be resolved as soon as possible.

On behalf of Martin, Thomas announced that Martin would not accept new roles or take on new films for the rest of 2008.

In the second half of the year, Martin will participate in the post-production of "Benjamin" and "Fast and Furious", and discuss new projects and new roles with Nolan, and there is also a lot of work to do.

As The Dark Knight's North American premiere gets closer and closer, Warner Bros. and the crew do everything they can to create momentum and attract the attention of passers-by.

In order to promote the Dark Knight, Warner Bros. has designed nearly 30 websites related to the plot of the movie, covering all aspects of the police station, railroad companies, taxi companies, banks, churches, newspapers, television stations, etc., in Gotham City, where the movie takes place.

Even on Warner's Gotham City TV website, netizens can see a series of shows built around the main characters of the movie such as Batman and the Joker, with a level of realism that feels like running a real TV channel.

Martin calls Nolan at least once a day to communicate marketing hype in a timely manner.

The quality of the Dark Knight is guaranteed, but there are too many examples of good movies failing and sinking, and good movies can only be a big hit with good publicity.

In order to create a topic, Nolan even used his strength to eat.

He even claimed that at first he didn't want to make a sequel to the Batman movie, but wanted to make an original cop movie, but the plot of the script fascinated him.

…………

Over the weekend, Jack Nicholson sat on time on the Warner TV show "The Helen Show."

Helen rose to fame with the news that she bravely filmed behind Martin, and later took advantage of the popularity to start the show, and now it is no worse than the Allen Show.

The two chatted for a while about Nicholson's illustrious past, and the conversation quickly found the bastard trio, especially Martin.

Helen came with a mission and asked very directly: "Last year, you publicly declared that Martin shouldn't have accepted the role of the Joker, and you had a fight in the media, and many people said that you had a falling out?" “

"It's normal to quarrel a few words, and it won't collapse." Nicholson looked like he was thinking about Martin: "I said that at the time, it was also for Martin, because I know Martin, he takes every role very seriously, he always does a lot of work, and he is very deep, and the joker is dark and crazy, and once he gets into it, it's hard to get out." ”

Play to play, make trouble, the trio boss can't go wrong.

Nicholson first had to affirm his correctness: "I'm right, Martin is in trouble right now, and his hostility with Bell has even extended from fantasy to reality...... Hey, this idiot doesn't listen to me! ”

Helen asked, "Do you think there's something wrong with Martin's role?" ”

"No, the character is fine, it's even better than I expected!" Nicholson set up the banner of self-correctness, and this is when he got to the point: "I went to see the internal test screening of Warner Bros. for The Dark Knight, Martin's Joker scared me, I never forgot it, this Joker is real but shocking!" ”

He didn't need Helen to ask questions, and continued: "Martin's performance is absolutely top-notch, he couldn't have asked for better, every look, every movement, and even the breath of the clown he portrayed is perfect for the character, without the slightest burden." ”

Helen aptly asked, "Is it really that good?" ”

"It's even better than I described, because I can't find a better word right now," Nicholson said. ”

He gestured with his hands, but his demeanor was extremely serious: "This clown created by Martin will subvert all the villain images in Hollywood in the past, and it is difficult for people to surpass, because Martin is interpreting this role with his life and soul!" ”

Helen added very cooperatively: "His agent has announced that Martin will not take on any roles this year." ”

"I went to see Martin yesterday." Nicholson sighed: "He really needs to rest, especially to get out of the role completely, he's stuck too deep." ”

He asked, "Have you seen the trailer for The Dark Knight?" ”

Helen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it's special." ”

Nicholson added: "Do you have a feeling that although Martin's clown makes people shudder, but it makes people fall in love with him, and the charm exuded by this character cannot be ignored!" ”

Helen thought about it: "That's true. ”

Nicholson mentioned one more thing: "I watched the San Diego Comic-Con Martin vs. Bell, or the Joker vs. Batman battle that continued into reality, and while I'm completely on Martin's side, Bell has something I think makes a lot of sense. ”

Helen asked again, "Which one?" ”

Nicholson concluded: "Martin traded his soul to the devil. He only used the first half of Bell's sentence, and changed the second half of the sentence: "In exchange for such an amazing performance!" ”

After a few routine small interactions, this episode of The Helen Show came to an end.

The show aired on the TV station and was then put on several large websites as agreed with the Dark Knight crew so that it could be seen by a wider audience.

Nicholson hadn't even stepped out of Warner TV when phone calls came one after another.

"Hey, old man, is that little guy's character really as good as you say?"

"Better than I said." Nicholson has had a good time in the past two years and doesn't mind helping his little brother: "The Dark Knight will be released soon, and when you go into the theater and see if I'm bragging." ”

As soon as he put down his mobile phone, an old friend called, still asking similar questions.

"I guarantee that in my forty years as an actor, you'll see one of the most charismatic movie villains of all time," Nicholson said. ”

On the way from the TV station to the parking lot, Nicholson answered six calls, all of them old friends who had called after watching Helen's show.

Because there are very few characters who can be so touted by Nicholson, they are all very curious.

Nicholson got on the extended Lincoln, received a call from Martin, and said directly: "Have you seen it?" I'm right, right? Boy, you owe me a good show! ”

"Let's watch a little drama first." Martin said on the phone: "I've lost something. “
