American Fame and Fortune Chapter 384

Chapter 384 You are a clown

After four days in the hospital, Martin was discharged and returned to the set to continue filming the final action scenes of the showdown between Batman and the Joker.

The crew has not been idle these days, and the rest of the scenes have been filmed.

In the dark studio, the figures of the Joker and Batman intersect and tussle.

 The Batman in this film is the weakest in the series.

 In the end, the Joker was subdued by Batman. Batman did not kill the Joker and handed it over to the Gotham police so that the Joker could face legal trial.

Although it is not explained in the plot of the movie, anyone familiar with Gotham knows that the Joker will definitely enter the popular Arkham.

As director Nolan announced that this was approved, all scenes of The Dark Knight have been filmed.

There was no latte art, and there was no cheering. After months of intense work, and with Bell doing so many bad things, the crew had no intention of celebrating.

Since the incident of Batman attacking the Joker, the atmosphere on the set has not been good.

 Privately, many cast members complained about Bale.

 “It's all Bell's fault!”

 This is almost a consensus reached by the entire crew.

As for whether the hundreds of extras going back and forth fanned the flames, only Robert knew.

Nolan stood up from behind the director's monitor and breathed a long sigh of relief. In his eyes, the atmosphere on the set was much better without Bell.

 On the set, Martin took off his shabby suit and threw it to a high place.

 The suit was snatched away by several stuntmen before it even landed.

Seeing these guys tear it into rags several times, Martin shouted: "Stop robbing it, I have a souvenir to give away."

 “Really?” The guy in the bat suit was the first to rush over.

 Others also followed.

 Martin waved, and Bruce came over with a big box.

Other cast and crew members also came to join in the fun.

Martin opened the box and said, "It's nothing special. It's a handmade statue of the Joker, and it's also a high-end handmade peripheral of the Dark Knight. Everyone has one copy. When we get back, we can promote it to the people around us."

Some people have seen with their own eyes that Xibi used the clown statue given by Martin to smash Bell's head, and they have already been interested in it.

Even Morgan Freeman and Maggie Gyllenhaal asked for this souvenir when they left the set.

 Martin personally delivered the gift boxes to the cast and crew.

　　The crew members, who already had a good impression of him, felt that Martin was still the better man. Although his sinister and crazy temperament when he was playing the clown was a bit scary, he was kind and easy-going, and everyone who greeted him would respond with a smile.

 Martin took two gift boxes and specifically found Nolan and Emma Thomas.

Nolan said: "I don't want it anymore."

 Emma Thomas took the gift box from Martin's hand, opened it and took a look, and suddenly understood one thing, why both Hebby and Maggie liked this clown statue so much.

"Thank you!" Emma put it away unceremoniously: "A very unique souvenir."

 Martin no longer said that he hunted them himself because too many were given away, but instead said: "Purely made of natural horn, purely hand-carved."

Emma glanced at Nolan and felt that this statue must be useful to her, and said, "I like it very much."

 She called her assistant, took out a photo album and handed it to Martin: "This is specially prepared for you by the crew."

 Martin took it and looked through it. It was full of stills of him playing the clown, laughing maniacally, frowning in deep thought, holding weapons, etc.

 Very commemorative.

 Martin was like: "Emma, ​​thank you."

Nolan shook his head and said to Martin: "Let's have a few words alone."

 Martin followed him towards a deserted place.

Nolan said as he walked: "All the producers and the publicity department met to study the publicity idea we discussed and agreed that it is very feasible. Next, a professional team will formulate a specific plan, and you will be invited to participate after it is confirmed."

 One million of the $2 million in compensation has already been transferred to Martin, so he responded: "I will fully cooperate."

"I feel very good about this film." Nolan was quite confident and knew that Martin has always been able to make eye-catching moves in promotions. He specifically said: "Recently, I feel more and more clearly that this film will be very popular at the box office. It may explode, provided we do a good job in publicity and marketing.”

 Martin agrees: “No matter how good the quality of the movie is, it still needs to be known.”

Nolan laughed: “We have a lot of the same views on movies.”

 Martin also laughed: "That's right."

 In addition to doing their jobs well enough, the two of them are also hype-type actors and hype-type directors respectively.

 Times are different from each other. The media will become more and more developed in the future, and it is definitely not a bad thing to be able to hype things up.

  The filming phase of the crew has been completed, and the post-production will be transferred back to Los Angeles. Warner Studios has a complete post-production studio.

But Nolan still has troubles to deal with. When filming the speed scene a few days ago, he crashed an IMAX camera. The amount of compensation from the crew must be included in the production cost.

 Martin returns to the makeup trailer to remove her makeup.

 Bruce had already collected the belongings that the two had left behind on the set and came in with his bag. When only the two of them were left in the trailer, Martin asked: "When you return to Los Angeles this time, you will accompany Jin to shoot the video."

"I have promised her that after the video is filmed, she will no longer interfere with Khloe and me." Bruce seemed to be going to the battlefield, looking extremely serious: "These days, I have studied Paris Hilton's video and watched it. For many of the films shot in the Holy Valley from a first-person perspective, I would personally design the scenes and shoot them with a DV.”

 Martin couldn't help but praise: "Old Boo, it turns out that you are not only going to be the leading actor, but also the screenwriter, director and director of photography."

 Bruce was worried: “It's a little difficult.”

 “How difficult can it be?” Martin has always been good at being a good person: “You were able to survive facing Sophia back then, it's such a small thing.”

 Bruce picked up his bag and left. This guy is really not a human being.

Martin picked up his bag and followed, and said: "Now that Sofia is devoted to Scott, she only comes out to play wildly by chance. Even if you want to do it next time, you won't have a chance."

 Bruce finally couldn't help it anymore and said, "Put the oil paint on your face!"

 “What do you mean?” Martin asked deliberately.

 Bruce gave him the middle finger: "You are a clown!"

The two drove a battery car to the parking lot and changed into an Escalade.

 Martin asked Old Boo to go to the Northville community and have dinner with Elena tonight.

 After sending Martin off, Bruce went to the Beast House to have a drink with his old brothers.

 Martin entered the Carter family's villa and found that Elena was the only one there today.

 The dinner is ready and placed on the dining table.

Elena was cutting vegetables. When she saw Martin's smiling face, she picked up the knife and pointed it at him and said: "Put away your ugly smile, and don't act crazy or stupid here."

Martin didn't want to accept the iron fist of love, so he immediately put away his smile, washed his hands first, and then helped serve the dishes and mix drinks.

 Ten minutes later, the two of them sat at the dining table.

Dinner is all Martin's favorite roasted meat and fruit.

Elena was cutting the steak and asked: "When will you return to Los Angeles?"

Martin said: "Tomorrow I will sign a new endorsement contract with CocCola, and I will attend a media event in the afternoon. If nothing else, I will leave the day after tomorrow."

He added: “I still have an audition to attend in Los Angeles.”

Elena nodded and said, "Lily came back a few days ago. The job you helped find is very profitable?"

"I just encountered an opportunity." Martin said lightly: "The opportunity came to me, and Lily was capable enough to seize it."

He picked up the Joker placed on the shelf on the side of the restaurant and said: "Lily has been using me as a template for this thing. This time in the Batman movie I starred in, the Joker is the core. Regarding the Joker's peripherals, the crew also I was willing to spend a lot of money and just fell in love with Lily's sculptures.”

Elena understood and said: "She has earned a lot of money, is very confident in front of me, and dares to show that she is not afraid of beating me and wants to make a difference."

 Martin observed three seconds of silence for Lily: "What's the result?"

Elena smiled: "She fully felt the love from her sister, and then she only stayed for one night and ran back to Los Angeles."

 Martin was surprised: "Leaving so soon? Even if you care about her, she can usually tolerate it."

“Because Hall went out to play with the school baseball team.” Elena simply explained: “She couldn't convey her care to Hall, so she felt very depressed and left.”

 Martin nodded. This love cannot be passed on, and there is no use in keeping it.

 He took the barbecue, took a big bite, and asked, "How good is Hall's baseball game?"

Elena nodded lightly: "It's not bad, no worse than him digging holes. The school's coach called me and said that Hall has been on the inspection list of many college coaches and may be recruited into the university in the future based on baseball."

She frowned slightly: "In the end, I was the only one who never went to college."

 “And me.” Martin comforted: “I am also a scumbag.”

After eating, they went for a walk in the yard. The two students went upstairs to study the profound subject of human life sciences in detail.

 The next morning, Bruce and Thomas picked up Martin and headed to CocCola headquarters.

Although CocCola did not have as big a fight as when it first signed Martin and fewer media reporters came to renew the contract this time, thousands of members of the CocCola Church came and dyed the front of the CocCola headquarters red. small square.

 When Martin got out of the car, countless congregants raised their Coke bottles.

 Bruce was well prepared and immediately gave Martin a bottle.

 Martin opened it and drank with them.

 Then, the cheers of the CocCola shook the whole neighborhood.

Martin once again put on a red robe, a red crown, and a CocCola scepter. He appeared in front of hundreds of media reporters and signed a five-year endorsement contract with CocCola.

This contract has a basic amount of up to US$10 million per year.

 In addition, there are a number of additional provisions.

 If the global box office of Martin's major films exceeds 100 million U.S. dollars, there will be an incentive bonus of 1 million U.S. dollars, and so on.

If Martin has a suitable film and role that competes at the Oscars or the three major European film festivals, the CocCola Group will fully support it.

If you can win the Oscar winner or the winner of the three major film festivals, there will be bonuses of different amounts.
