In the press room of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in front of the live camera set up by TMZ, James walked on the news station on behalf of TMZ.

He holds Martin's "Joker's Diaries" in both hands.

On the other side, there are Thomas who represents Martin and Nolan who represents the Dark Knight crew.

Under the news station, there were many other media reporters taking pictures.

TMZ, who used to work hard to shoot and record other people's news, is now one of the protagonists of the news.

"Diary Gate" fermented to a certain heat, and TMZ decided to return Martin's Joker Diary for free.

The Dark Knight crew is very easy to communicate with, and they are not exclusive to live broadcasts and press conferences, and TMZ also understands that the crew also needs heat.

The two sides hit it off, so there was this unique ceremony for the return of Martin's Clown diary.

James took the original diary and handed it to Thomas and Nolan, and the three of them held Martin's original diary, faced many media cameras, and took pictures together.

TMZ's live camera, dedicated to close-ups.

Then, in the routine interview of media reporters, the three of them said some more scenes.

TMZ's live broadcast and media reports have further pushed the popularity of "Diary Gate" to an even higher level.

Since returning from San Diego to see a psychiatrist, Martin has not appeared in all the publicity activities, but he can be seen everywhere in the hottest media reports.

Even because of the delay in public appearance, the media and public opinion are becoming more and more curious, what is the situation of Martin?

Both Martin and Nolan tried their best to win the attention of more passers-by and audiences.

After TMZ's return ceremony, Nolan and Thomas left the Hilton Hotel together and headed straight to the Coty neighborhood of Sherman Oaks to return the diary to Martin.

Inevitably, a large number of media reporters followed, surrounding Martin's house.

Nolan's car followed Thomas straight into the gate, and the iron gate separated the reporters.

The two entered the living room, and Martin greeted them and shook hands with them, saying, "I was watching the live broadcast just now, and you guys arrived so soon." ”

"How's it going, is it getting better?" The media has been hyped for a long time, and even Nolan, one of the masterminds, subconsciously feels that Martin has psychological and spiritual problems.

Martin smiled, "It's okay, Dr. Laura's treatment is very effective. ”

She slept comfortably on the couch there.

Nolan took out the diary from his briefcase, handed it to Martin, and deliberately said, "Put it away, don't lose it again." ”

Martin had a tacit understanding and took it and handed it to Bruce: "I'll lock it in the underground vault." ”

The article about this diary has basically been promoted to the extreme, and it will be useless in the future.

Nolan said with a smile: "The method you came up with worked very well, and now the Internet is all about Joker, Batman and Diarygate, and it has a great impact." ”

Martindo is a man: "This is what we came up with together. ”

Nolan smiled even more happily and said, "I'm getting more and more confident about the success of the film. ”

He paused slightly and continued: "Batman has never lacked fans in North America, but there are 10,000 Batman in the hearts of 10,000 people, and a large number of people will be dissatisfied with how the movie is adapted, so it is difficult to support a movie with comic book fans alone, and we are just doing this to attract enough passers-by to the audience." ”

Martin said: "I looked at the public opinion on the Internet, and it worked very well. ”

It is precisely because of this that Nolan attaches more and more importance to Martin, and even took the initiative to find him to discuss some publicity matters.

Nolan added: "For the Dark Knight premiere, I plan to change the red carpet to a black carpet to match the overall style of the film. ”

Martin was not surprised, saying: "It's a good idea, and it can create a new topic and promote post-screening publicity." ”

Nolan asked, "Do you have any other good ideas here?" ”

Martin muttered to himself that it would be best if Bell committed suicide at this time, but it was impossible to say such thoughts.

On the other hand, if this happens, it will benefit the crew, not Martin, the most, and the amount of noise he has created for himself and the Joker will also be much weaker, which will not be conducive to the operation of this year's awards season.

Martin said: "Not for the time being, I will call you as soon as I think of a new idea." ”

Nolan duly offered to take his leave, and Martin sent him out of the villa.

When he returned, Thomas spoke: "At the end of the press conference just now, the Warner Bros. people came to me to discuss something?" ”

Martin looked at him, "Something to do with me?" ”

Thomas nodded and pointed to the diary that Bruce put aside: "Warner Bros. intends to publish this diary as a peripheral product of the film, and they think the market prospect is okay." ”

As long as they make money, the film company dares to sell the protagonist's underwear.

The contents of the diary have long been published on TMZ, and the publication is nothing more than the popularity of the movie after its release, so that it can be collected by those crazy fans.

Martin said: "Yes, you can negotiate the basic licensing fee, but I want Warner Bros. to have at least one-third of the ex-factory price as a share." ”

Thomas wrote it down, and just went back and talked slowly with the crew and Warner Bros.

There was a tumult outside, and Bruce went out to take a look and said, "Nolan's car was blocked by reporters." “

Martin asked, "He didn't just drive away?" ”

"Nope." Bruce wanted to laugh and held back: "Nolan didn't go directly, let the driver stop the car for an interview, and met Mr. Jones next door." ”

Martin hurriedly went upstairs until he reached the highest terrace on the roof, and took a telescope to secretly observe the situation outside.

Nolan meets Jones, and the artist meets the artist, and it must be extraordinary.

Maybe Mars will hit the Earth.

Outside the door, surrounded by reporters, Jones found Nolan.

Not to mention, these two have known each other before.

Nolan was slightly surprised: "It turns out that you also live in the Coty community. ”

Jones pointed to a house next to Martin's house: "Martin and I are neighbors and friends. ”

A nearby reporter asked his colleague: "Who is this person?" How not impressed. ”

Someone knows: "This is the deputy director of the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art, one of the artists who initiated the establishment of the Museum of Modern Art that year. ”

Jones finally met Nolan, and it was inevitable to say a few more words: "I watched the two trailers of The Dark Knight, it is really a masterpiece, especially the Joker, it is so brilliant." ”

Nolan knew Jones and didn't know anything about Jones, so he smiled and said, "Thank you for your support." ”

"I have a proposal about the Dark Knight and the Joker, Director Nolan can consider it." Jones is a good father and has always thought about his daughter: "My daughter Jenna is a co-founder, director and actress of a company in the Holy Valley, and has won Best Director and Best Actress on AVN. “

The reporters, who had been uninterested in the chance encounter between the two people, realized that there might be hot news happening, and they all picked up their cameras, video cameras and voice recorders.

Jones said loudly: "Director Nolan, you and Warner Bros., as well as DC Comics, can you consider giving Jenna's company the relevant authorization to shoot the Dark Knight Sacred Valley version, with Jenna's ability, you will definitely be able to make a masterpiece that won awards on AVN and become a classic." ”

These words were so unexpected that Nolan was a little stunned.

Even well-informed reporters are a bit flustered, how can things turn out so weirdly?

Nolan's first reaction was to refuse, and then got in the car and left, but when he saw the eager appearance of the reporters around him, he immediately changed his mind.

He came to Martin, on the one hand, to send a diary to make news, and on the other hand, to find new hot topics.

Isn't that a topic just around the corner?

Nolan immediately said: "I'm just a director, I can't do these things, I will give feedback to the crew and Warner Bros. about your proposal." ”

Jones stepped forward and shook Nolan's hand vigorously: "Thank you." ”

Nolan let go of his hand and hurried into the car.

Although he wants to make hot news, he is not as thick-skinned as Martin.

Watching Nolan's car start, Mr. Jones waved vigorously and reminded loudly: "Director Nolan, please help with feedback, my daughter can definitely use this theme to make a masterpiece of the Sacred Valley!" ”

The car finally broke through the circle of reporters and disappeared at the end of Coty Road.

It didn't take long for the latest news to break out on the Internet.

"The Dark Knight" became popular before it was released, and the Sacred Valley manufacturer took the initiative to find director Nolan to negotiate the adaptation and filming of the Sacred Valley version."

"Shocked, Sacred Valley has his eyes on "The Dark Knight", Batman and the Joker may fall in love and kill each other!"

Late reports are more or less reliable.

"Jenna, a famous actress, director and producer in the Sacred Valley, intends to adapt "The Dark Knight", and director Nolan gave a positive response......"

This June, all kinds of news about the Dark Knight and Martin flooded the Internet and traditional media, and the popularity even surpassed the popular "Kung Fu Panda" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark 4", becoming the number one entertainment hotspot.

Its influence has long been out of the circle and has become a major social hotspot in North America.

Compared with Martin, Christian Bale's side is much quieter, the British movie star's commercial appeal is not particularly strong, as long as he follows the crew's plan and participates in the crew's various normal publicity announcements step by step.

As far as this film is concerned, Bale's role in the promotion is to ensure the basic plate of Batman fans.

Subsequently, "The Dark Knight" held a viewing party for theater managers, media and critics, and received unanimous praise.

Many critics in Los Angeles believe that this is the best Hollywood film of the year.

In terms of major theaters in North America, they have given excellent positive feedback, saying that they will allocate enough screens to invest in the opening screening of "The Dark Knight".

In particular, IMAX theaters, all theaters affiliated with IMAX companies in North America, will only show this film two weeks before the release of "The Dark Knight".

After all, Nolan used an IMAX camera to shoot a huge amount of footage, and IMAX added up to more than 40 minutes in the finished film.

This is unique in Hollywood right now.
