Chapter 410 The hero is being corrupted by the devil
Like the past few films, the studio for the new project is still selected at Warner Studios, with Louise as the producer and in charge of the crew's affairs, especially negotiating with Warner Bros. on matters such as promotion and distribution.
Martin and Chad both work as production managers in addition to their current duties.
Chen Hu and Marcus serve as action directors for melee combat and gun combat respectively.
Barker and Lewis, who have served as Martin's stunt doubles several times, also joined the action stunt team.
The number of computer special effects lenses during filming and production is extremely limited, and almost all action shots will be completed through real shooting.
Emily will bring a team from Davis Studio to join the crew, specifically responsible for creating Internet buzz, especially topics that can really bring heat-you want my life, I will kill yours.
As for the main actors, two people have been confirmed, Martin and Mene.
Martin, needless to say, is naturally the leading actor.
The remuneration is divided into three parts, the basic remuneration is US$5 million, the tiered box office share being negotiated, and the DVD share.
Minene, who is over 30 years old, has gained weight and has a slight vicissitude, and can be called a killer of middle-aged women, plays the role of the owner of the Continental Hotel in New York.
There must be a positive main character who is black. This is very politically correct.
Other major roles are selected through auditions, with priority given to WMA's acting clients.
As for the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew, many of the people in charge are from the "Wanted" crew. Martin's studio and Chad have been keeping in contact with them, and some of them who have suitable schedules have joined the crew as soon as possible.
The location selection team will soon travel to New York to select suitable street scenes for filming.
After the filming meeting, Louise flew to New York with her assistant to discuss a series of filming issues.
Such as speeding cars, street fights and gun fight shooting.
In addition to occasionally participating in media events and assisting the public relations team in public relations, Martin focused all his energy on training.
Including physical fitness, fighting, firearms, driving, etc., strive to be the best in everything.
Even, he practiced how to stab someone with a pencil and how to use a hardware store to make a simple bow and arrow.
“Theoretically, an attack with a sharpened pencil is entirely possible.”
On the training ground of the studio, Chen Hu gestured and said to Martin: "But it is not easy to do this, especially when a killer attacks a killer."
Martin held a soft resin prop pencil in his backhand and pointed at several vital points on himself: "Neck and eyes are the first choices?"
Chen Hu said: "We can try it out and see which one is easier to get."
“Be careful, I'm coming.” Martin suddenly took a step forward, and the prop pencil pierced Chen Hu's eyes.
He knows Chen Hu's ability, so he doesn't have to hold anything back.
Chen Hu tilted his head slightly and scratched the corner of his forehead with the pencil.
He only dodges and does not fight back.
Martin pressed down his hand and used his height to suppress Chen Hu. The pencil stabbed Chen Hu again. Chen Hu dodged, but the target on his neck was much bigger than his eyes. The pencil stabbed him lower behind the ear.
Chen Hu stepped back, got rid of Martin, and said: "Even if you are caught off guard, it is difficult to stab someone in the eye."
Martin nodded: "Near, throat or carotid artery."
Chen Hu added: "The style we finally decided on not only requires good-looking movements, but also ensures a certain degree of authenticity. In melee combat, even if you have outstanding skills, it is not easy to kill a trained adult man with your bare hands. Therefore, all melee hand-to-hand combat does not seek to kill the opponent directly, but to control him so that he cannot take action in a short period of time. "
He performed actions such as kicking in the crotch, strangling, removing the heart, and inserting eyes: "This can buy you even a second, and you can take out your weapon and kill him, use a gun or any other weapon you can find."
Martin grasped the key point when he said: "Use weapons if you can."
Marcus, who was standing next to him, spoke: "The first choice is always a gun."
Later, Martin practiced action routines with Chen Hu, and followed Marcus to strengthen his shooting movements, especially when shooting at enemies around corners.
Marcus, who was born as a SEAL and has participated in real urban street battles, has rich experience in this area, far surpassing ordinary gunfight designers in Hollywood.
After practicing for a while, the three simply left the set and drove to the Angel Shooting Club to train with real firearms.
Martin was addicted to the killing training and could not help himself. His public appearances became less and less. The only pictures that appeared in the media were secret photos of him entering and leaving the psychological clinic.
More and more entertainment media are speculating that Martin's psychological problems are getting worse.
At the same time, the promotion of The Dark Knight crew began to gain momentum.
In mid-January, a video of Bell's interview was circulated from the UK.
After a few months, the British actor finally made a public appearance and attended the British Academy Film Awards. During the period, he talked about the crew of The Dark Knight and Batman, saying that because the character was extremely difficult to set up, he did suffer from psychological problems. In the past After months of being stuck in darkness and unable to extricate myself, I finally got out of it.
Some reporters also asked about Martin.
Bell accepted the crew's plan: "He may have more serious problems than me, because on the set he is more evil than the most evil clown in the comics!"
No matter how the media reporters pressed, Bell said no more.
This is a well-planned publicity campaign by the crew of The Dark Knight, specifically choosing the British Academy Film Awards as an occasion where the media gathers.
The Dark Knight was released in the summer of 2008, and the promotion kicked off half a year in advance.
Nolan personally called Martin: "Are you ready? Do you need me to send a professional photographer?" "No." Martin declined: "I have one here."
He hung up the phone and said to Bruce: "Let Ivan go out."
Bruce asked: "Where?"
“It's right in the community park square,” Martin said.
Bruce went to call Ivan.
This time we still need to take candid photos, and the photographers on the crew are actually not as professional as Ivan.
Martin went out alone and walked along the community road to the park square. He sat on a bench and looked at the sunset in the west, motionless like a statue.
Not long after, the phone in his pocket vibrated several times.
Martin knew that Ivan was coming.
He slowly turned his head, and a strange smile appeared on his originally slightly gloomy face.
Ivan secretly photographed Martin many times. He pressed the shutter button just in time and took several photos in succession.
That night, the photo appeared on TMZ's homepage.
Jody is very professional, using real photos as a blueprint, and adding slightly exaggerated captions.
“Our urban heroes are being eroded by the devil in their souls!”
Martin is sitting alone, with a handsome face, a gloomy expression, and a weird smile.
Jody specially pulled the video of Bell's interview under Martin's picture.
That night, the news received over 10,000 comments.
“Why do I think it's scarier than Jack Nicholson's smile in The Shining?”
“Because you know that it was acted in The Shining, but this actually happened to Martin!”
“I'm very curious about what kind of Batman movie this is that can actually drive the two leading actors to the point where they have psychological problems.”
“Bell needs treatment for several months before he can show up. Martin needs to see a psychiatrist every week. What kind of role and what kind of plot?”
The number of people paying attention to and discussing the Dark Knight has increased rapidly.
After the news fermented for a few days and was reprinted by more media, Thomas issued a public statement on behalf of Martin, apologizing to the Golden Globe Awards organizing committee, claiming that he was unable to accept the invitation to this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony due to physical reasons.
This also makes previous news more marketable.
Thomas later gave an interview, saying that Martin was aware of the problem, was working hard to get rid of the problem, and would return to normal work soon.
The crew of The Dark Knight has officially revealed the main promotional poster for the film.
Not a single Batman, but two protagonists!
Batman stands in the middle of Gotham City, his head completely shrouded in black clouds.
The clown stood under the sun. Although the white paint covered his true appearance, there was a faint smile on his blood-red mouth. He stood so simply, but exuded a wanton evil. It makes people shudder.
No video is needed. Senior movie fans can interpret the style of the film just from the poster: dark, suffocating and crazy!
After the first wave of publicity caused a stir, the crew only guided public opinion on the Internet and went dormant for the time being.
Nolan is a master of film production and publicity and marketing. Then he visited Martin in the name of visiting him and had a long discussion with Martin about the current situation and next plan.
Two people who are both good at hype had a passionate collision.
Martin sent Nolan away, and Elizabeth, who had just returned from filming a commercial abroad, came over to see him immediately.
“Is there really nothing wrong with you?” Elizabeth hugged Martin hard and pressed his head into her arms, allowing Martin to fully feel the warmth.
Martin was vague: "There is no big problem for the time being."
Elizabeth rubbed Martin's cheek: “You didn't even attend the Golden Globe Awards, and you said there was no problem!”
Martin is not a stone man either. He can feel Elizabeth's worries and her genuine concern.
"I don't want to attend the Golden Globe Awards, mainly because I have an idea." He still had some conscience, knowing that Elizabeth was going to become a star, so he simply pushed her hard: "I'm waiting for you to come back, and I want to take you to the Oscar red carpet. , let everyone know you!”
What Elizabeth was thinking was that she was not on the same page as Martin at all. She hugged Martin harder: "Let everyone know that I am your girlfriend?"
Martin struggled to speak.
Elizabeth said again: "Martin, I understand what you mean, and I promise you, no matter what, I promise you everything!"
Martin struggled out of her arms and looked at her with a smile on her face. He thought to himself that he just wanted to take you to the Oscars red carpet...
He wiped away the tears rolling out of Elizabeth's eyes and said, "The makeup is all gone, and she looks like a witch."
Elizabeth wiped her tears and suddenly said: "Old boy, don't you like me to be a witch?"
