Chapter 365: Chaos brings fairness
At Warner Studios, Martin, wearing a long cloak, accompanied by Thomas, came to the Dark Knight Studio and entered a dressing room.
Thomas has already communicated with the crew.
An assistant from the production crew came over and said, "Please wait a moment. I will come and notify you before the audition starts."
Martin lowered his head and did not speak.
Thomas responded: "Thank you."
When the door closed, Martin suddenly raised his head and smiled at Thomas.
Thomas felt nervous and quickly turned around, sitting with his back to Martin.
In the past few days, he always had nightmares at night. There was a white -faced monster that stuffed a big bomb under his buttocks. The bomb exploded and flew to the sky.
Bruce held Martin's cell phone and leaned against the wall.
The text message alert sounded suddenly. He took it out, took a look at it, and said to Martin: "Robert is ready."
Martin chuckled: "My high priest has launched the blessing ceremony again."
Thomas didn't understand what he meant and looked at Bruce in surprise.
Bruce shook his head and said nothing more.
The fewer people know about this time-tried thing, the better.
Besides, Martin is already a **** enough, so it's better not to become a cult leader or something like that.
In the audition room on the other side, many producers and director Nolan from the crew gathered together.
Oscar winner Adrien Brody's makeup audition has just ended.
The acting is okay, but Nolan always feels that something is missing. In short, the indescribable impression is not very good.
Emma Thomas said: "Thank you for your wonderful performance. We will notify you of the audition results as soon as possible."
“Okay.” Adrian said goodbye and left the audition room.
Nolan looked at Charles Rowan and Orlin, and the latter said: "I can't tell why. Similar to Josh Brolin before, I feel that his performance is missing something."
Charles Rowan added: “There's no such drive to move forward without risking anything.”
Emma Thomas said directly: "They were not well prepared in the early stage, and their performance was generally normal during the audition."
Louis sat in the back row and did not express an opinion, but she knew that the psychology of these people was affected to some extent.
Ten percent of the psychological deviation in the early stage may cause several times the impact.
Emma Thomas said: "Get Martin Davies over."
An assistant will be notified immediately.
Not long after, the door to the audition room opened, and a man with a strange appearance and temperament walked in with a strange posture.
The moment the person turned to face the producer and director, Nolan's heart skipped a beat and he took a picture of the photographer, who had already turned on the camera.
Martin tilted his head forward, and on his snow-white face, the bright red scarred lips seemed to open to the base of his ears, and he grinned wildly.
He deliberately pushed up one corner of his mouth with his tongue. The scars on his face made of makeup were prominent, and paired with a weird smile, he looked extremely crazy.
Nolan stared intently at the clown in front of him, unable to see any trace of Martin Davis, and just felt that this was the role he wanted.
Even if Martin Davis didn't say a line.
Every look in his eyes, every subtle movement, every smile, every breath, and even the invisible but perceptible temperament are perfect, without any burden.
Martin suddenly opened his suit, took out a statue, and put his finger on the clown's mouth.
“Gentlemen, you are so rich.” He pulled up his worn suit jacket: “People outside are extremely poor. This is so unfair!”
He walked towards the camera and reasoned with force: "I planted a bomb here to create a little disturbance. Did you see the statue in my hand? As long as I press it, it will explode." ”
Martin laughed crazily, weirdly and wildly: "Disrupt the original order, and everything will become chaotic. Do you know the benefits of chaos? It can bring fairness!"
He babbled: "Now I'm counting to 10. If someone doesn't take off their clothes, they don't have a fair chance."
Nolan said at this time: "That's it."
Martin is still counting: "One, two..."
The tone was weird, with a crazy power. When he counted to eight, he stopped, smiled, and said strangely, "I'm sorry, I was too deep into the drama."
Nolan said: "Go out and wait for a while."
Martin said no more and staggered out of the audition room.
Orlin stopped Martin and asked, "What's that in your hand?"
Martin threw it to him casually and said with a smile: "This is the key to chaos. Press its mouth and it will explode."
Orlin was about to touch the clown's carved mouth, but suddenly stopped.
For a moment, I couldn't tell whether what Martin said was true or false.
He stared blankly at the statue, which was modeled after Martin's Joker. It had a lifelike shape and fine carvings, like a fine handmade work of art. Martin kept walking and limped out of the audition room.
As soon as the door closed, Nolan couldn't wait to express his opinion: "This is the clown I want! It's incredible, arbitrary, and extremely scary!"
Emma Thomas understood what her husband meant and said directly: "I suggest choosing Martin to play the clown. He auditioned better than others and worked harder than others."
Charles Rowan watched the audition tape again and said, "My choice is Martin Davis."
Louis raised the magazine in her hand: "Martin Davis."
Orlin was still thinking about the clown statue. Should he click it? Putting his hand on his side, the face that exuded evil and chaos kept flashing through his mind, and he was worried about pressing it down...
Louis reminded him: "Who is your candidate?"
Orlin picked up the statue and pointed at it: "My choice is him."
Alan Horn, who had never spoken, also nodded: "I agree."
All the big guys were unanimous. Charles Rowan said simply: "I am now announcing the results of the audition. Martin Davis passed the audition and won the role of the Joker."
He looked around: "Who has any questions?"
"I have it." Orlin held up the clown statue in his hand: "Look at this thing. It looks very similar to the clown statue just now. Can it be made into peripherals?"
Nolan took a look. As a real-shooting fanatic, he had his own judgment: "The workmanship is quite good."
Charles Rowan also took a look and said, "It feels like this thing has other uses besides being an ornament."
Others don't know it, but Louise knows it all too well: “Martin's clown statue, many people in Hollywood who have worked with Martin have received similar souvenirs.”
“I've seen it from a lot of people in the industry,” said the casting director, who had almost no say.
Orlin realized the commercial value and immediately said: "Hurry up and negotiate with Martin and ask him to temporarily stop giving away gifts. We will add relevant clauses to the actor's contract and develop it as a movie peripheral..."
This thing is different from the clown image of DC Comics, and there is no infringement. He asked Louise: "Do you know who the sculptor is?"
Louise said: "Lily Carter, Martin Davis's neighbor sister, is currently working as a temporary worker in the props team of the crew."
Orlin suggested: "Move her into the creative team and let her and her agent participate in three-way negotiations."
Charles Rowan reached for the clown statue, but before his hand touched the clown's head, Orlin turned around and handed over his legs and feet.
“Don't touch the head of the statue.” Orlin still remembered Martin's evil demeanor and said subconsciously: “If it explodes, we will be completely ruined.”
Charles Rowan looked through the clown statue and found a signature on the sole of his foot. He handed it to Louise: "About this thing, we can think of some targeted marketing strategies. Maybe it can become a hit." product."
Louis helped Martin: "High-end handmade customized peripherals, like Darth Vader's high-end handmade peripherals?"
In the history of Hollywood movies, the most popular selling figurine movie peripherals is undoubtedly the Black Lord.
“It depends on how influential the movie and the character are,” Charles Rowan said.
The Nolans are very confident.
Several people discussed it again, and Charles Rowan said: "I'm going to notify Martin Davis and his agent."
After today's audition, Nolan's attitude completely changed: “No matter what the conditions are, I only want Martin Davis!”
Charles Rowan has some considerations: “He has already had four films with over 100 million US dollars in box office in North America, and his salary cannot be less than 13 million US dollars.”
Orlin was talking about the reality: "The initial investment in the film is too high, and the excessive production budget will further expand the investment risk."
Nolan reminded: "To achieve the desired effect, the budget for filming and post-production cannot be reduced."
Alan Horn casually suggested: “Then add a portion of the upfront remuneration and an appropriate share of the profits later to reduce the risk of early investment.”
Charles Rowan also feels that using such terms in sequel movies will cause investors to suffer losses in later profits.
But Martin Davis's box office appeal besides the audition is also what they want.
These representatives of the employer are eager to let star actors star in the film with a minimum salary.
The short discussion ended and today's auditions were all completed. Charles Rowan left the audition room first and had someone call Martin and Thomas to inform Martin and Thomas that Martin had won the role of the Joker.
In the dressing room, Martin had already taken off his makeup. Hearing the audition results relayed by Thomas, he laughed and said, "See, as long as the audition is fair and impartial, we will be the final winners!"
Bruce said in his heart that this audition was too fair and just.
Thomas was in a good mood and said, "It would be great if every audition in the future was so fair and just."
“The audition results are out.” Martin said with a grim smile, “Now it's your turn to fight for a fair and just treatment for me.”
Thomas said: "Leave it to me."
The three of them left the dressing room together, and when they came to the front hall of the studio, Louise was waiting for them here.
Going to a nearby cold drink shop, Louise talked about the clown carving in general.
Martin is not surprised, because using sculptures as props was his intention.
How to cooperate in the future, we just have to discuss it with the crew and Warner Bros.
