The news that David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg jointly established DreamWorks really stole a lot of the limelight from the release of "The Dark Knight Rises" that day. At the morning press conference, David and Geffen also directly announced the development list of 25 film projects and publicly stated that they would get involved in the field of animated films.
Throughout the day on Wednesday, the media was focused on digging up more news about DreamWorks.
However, at five o'clock in the afternoon, when the Igrit portal opened the live broadcast of the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises", most of the media and public's attention was brought back to this DC superhero masterpiece.
Just the powerful lineup of guests on the red carpet of the premiere, which is not inferior to that of the Oscars, has already feasted the eyes of countless viewers in front of computer screens. Of course, what fans are most concerned about is the movie itself. Unfortunately, most people who want to see the film have to wait until the midnight screening tomorrow night at the earliest.
Although he is the person behind the entire DC movie universe series, Simon did not appear on the red carpet of the premiere this time. He only quietly led Janet into the screening hall through the back door of the theater.
The red carpet ceremony for the premiere started at five o'clock and lasted nearly an hour.
At six o'clock, all the guests in the Chinese Theater were seated. After the host gave a brief speech, the final chapter of the Batman solo trilogy finally appeared on the big screen of a public theater for the first time.
In a seat at the back of the Chinese Theater, when the lights dimmed, Grace Spulte, who had arrived on the West Coast yesterday, no longer tried to find a young man among the star-studded guests in the front row. There was a figure beside her. The short-haired girl in a white low-cut dress also breathed a sigh of relief. She recalled the entire premiere red carpet experience half an hour ago and confirmed that she had made no mistakes before turning her attention to the big screen that was gradually lighting up.
The girl's name is Tracy Gauff, and she has just turned 18 this year, or, to be more precise, she has five days before she turns 18.
Of course, these details don't matter.
As one of Grace's more successful models, Tracy Gauff also has a baby face. Her short hair style and petite face are slightly different from Zoe next to Simon, but they are completely in line with his aesthetics. .
The girl who debuted at the age of 15 has become somewhat famous in recent years under the leadership of Grace, but she has been lacking further opportunities.
After getting the three Victoria's Secret Angel spots promised by Simon, Grace quickly packaged all the modeling information in her name and passed it on to men, even some underage girls who were still in the training stage. The minimum age requirement for the Victoria's Secret show is 18, but being able to send your clients to Simon Westeros is never a bad thing.
As a result, only Tracy Gauff was selected.
Simon didn't give her any explanation, but Grace roughly understood that perhaps her other clients lacked distinctive personal characteristics.
The top group of supermodels at this stage have a very distinct impression on the public and are generally highly recognizable.
The more typical ones are the "waist essence" and "leg essence" that Westeros personally praised. Although there are many feminists who criticize Westeros for objectifying women by giving such nicknames, those people don't know. Throughout the fashion world, countless girls would definitely not mind giving their all if they could get a nickname with public recognition from a big shot like Simon Westeros.
After confirming the first quota, Grace was planning to continue poaching some clients from other agents or modeling agencies who might satisfy Simon. Unexpectedly, the man soon gave her the first 'resource' and invited Qu Si. ·Gauff attended the red carpet ceremony of the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises".
Simon remembers why those actresses from across the ocean went to various film festivals to become 'blanket stars' despite all kinds of ridicule and slander. The key is that this is indeed a shortcut to fame that can get a lot of exposure in the shortest time.
As a super blockbuster that has attracted the attention of global entertainment media, the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" is no less influential than the opening ceremonies of many film festivals. Show your face at the carpet ceremony, and then as long as you operate it properly, your popularity will immediately skyrocket.
Moreover, the fresher the face, the more obvious this gain effect will be.
After all, long-established supermodels such as Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelista can be recognized by the audience at a glance. No matter how stunning their appearance is, it is only the icing on the cake for their own fame.
Now, suddenly a strange baby-faced girl whose figure, appearance and temperament are not inferior to those of Hollywood actresses suddenly appears. Millions of viewers paying attention to this premiere will inevitably ask, who is this
The results can be imagined.
In the screening hall of the Chinese Theater, Grace, who was originally planning the details of subsequent media operations, was quickly attracted by the lit big screen.
I don’t watch many movies on weekdays, but Grace’s family basically watched all the previous DC movie universe masterpieces. Thinking about it, the two little guys in the family will definitely be envious that they can watch this movie for the first time. Grace Put your thoughts aside for a moment and turn your attention to the big screen.
The most intuitive feature of all the films in the DC Cinematic Universe is that they all give the audience a majestic feeling.
A more appropriate description would be 'epic'.
Of course, this quality is largely the result of the insanely large production budget.
As the final chapter of the Batman single-player trilogy, after the opening credits of the studio LOGO, the film's first panoramic shot overlooking Gotham City's Steel Forest made most people in the theater feel that this is a super big deal. Bomb feeling.
The camera gradually zoomed in, and the beating sound of the clock hand resonated with the audience's heart. Then, with a bang, a floor-to-ceiling window of a glass-reinforced steel structure building burst open.
Behind the burst floor-to-ceiling windows, two minions wearing weird clown masks fired their flying guns at the rooftop of the opposite building.
The camera switched, and a strange and stooped figure wearing a purple suit and carrying a satchel stood on the side of the busy road, with a clown mask also held on one of his hanging arms.
The scene changed again, and several robbers in the van drove to a bank, talking about a guy named 'Joker' who was hosting the robbery.
In front of the big screen in the auditorium, the audience quickly understood that this was a bank robbery.
Moreover, compared to those minions who have more or less lines, many viewers are deeply impressed by a figure who seems to naturally exude evil aura just because of a fleeting shot.
For the final chapter of the trilogy, Simon once again refers to the memory of the opening chapter of Nolan's "The Dark Knight."
However, the subsequent plot is very different from Nolan's version.
The robbery started very smoothly, but this time, the Gotham police responded very quickly. They took the initiative to leave a certain purple figure in the 'break' behind to let others leave with a large amount of money, but he took it out from the depths of the bank vault. Got a special square suitcase.
The robbers who left early had a confrontation with the police, but the man in purple, who had arranged an escape route for himself, was at ease.
The bank manager who was injured during the confrontation suddenly became very excited when he saw the box in the hand of the man in purple. In a trembling voice, he threatened that the man in purple could take away all the money, but not the box.
The man in purple finally took off his mask, revealing another clown face with terrifying scars. Like a cat teasing a mouse, he expressed that he was not interested in money. All he needed was fear, boundless fear.
The robber's van suddenly exploded during a confrontation with the police. During the commotion, the clown calmly left with a mysterious box.
The five-minute plot wedge reveals two key elements in a gripping way: the clown and the mother box.
Even if it is not stated clearly, after the previous DC movie universe blockbusters have foreshadowed it, most viewers can conclude at a glance that what the Joker is holding must be another Mother Box.
In addition, although it has long been determined that the villain of the final chapter of the Batman solo trilogy will be the Joker, Daenerys Entertainment has been very tight-lipped about the actor who will play the Joker. Until this moment, many viewers in the theater roughly recognized that the clown was played by River Phoenix, the Hollywood golden boy who has become famous in recent years. This 18-year-old was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and won the Venice Best Actor two years ago. The young actor, in just a few minutes, vividly portrayed the image of a clown who exuded a dangerous and evil aura.
DC movie universe films have become increasingly popular in recent years, but except for some technical awards, they have not been favored by the Oscars in other aspects.
This time, in just the first five minutes, many film critics in the Chinese Theater screening room had an idea. River Phoenix, a talented actor, is almost certain to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar next year.
In the past, River Phoenix originally died of a drug overdose last year.
The emergence of Simon, the big butterfly, has changed many things in Hollywood. During the collaboration between River Phoenix and Daenerys Entertainment on "Seven Deadly Sins", he quit drug addiction due to the strict monitoring of Daenerys Entertainment. The actor His acting skills are absolutely outstanding, and his inherently evil temperament perfectly fits the clown image Simon needs. So, after careful consideration and repeated auditions, Simon finally handed over the role of the Joker to the other party.
However, due to mysterious marketing considerations, Daenerys Entertainment has been tight-lipped about the actor who plays the Joker until today's premiere.
Sitting in an inconspicuous position in the screening hall with Janet, and just feeling the reactions of some of the surrounding audience, Simon could determine that River Phoenix's Joker is no less good than the Heath Ledger version in his memory .
After the wedge and the opening credits, the plot begins in earnest.
The DC movie universe has been officially integrated. Therefore, although the main line still follows Batman and the story does not leave Gotham City, the film shows the existence of superhero characters such as Superman and Cyborg through many details such as television, newspapers and character speeches.
In the process of tracking down the Joker who has been committing crimes frequently in Gotham City recently, Bruce Wayne also expressed some potential concerns about Superman, an alien visitor.
This also provides a potential small foreshadowing for next year's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice."
On the other hand, as the plot progresses, the mother box stolen by the clown also explains the cause and effect. This mother box is a collection stored in a bank by an auction house and intended to be auctioned as an antique. It is rumored that it was first discovered in a certain place in Europe. It was discovered during a copper mine in the noble territory. Two hundred years later, no one knew the origin and function of such a thing.
After the decline of the nobles, they began to sell off their ancestral collections, and the mysterious mother box was one of the most heavily publicized items.
Moreover, this mother box from human society has actually attracted the attention of many people such as Bruce Wayne, Diana Prince and even Lex Luthor. It was originally going to hold a grand auction in Gotham City. Yes, but the clown got there first.
The Mother Box was robbed, and Batman began to step up his pursuit of the Joker.
At the same time, after the clown obtained the mother box, he kidnapped several scientists to study the mother box. Among them was a botanist and extreme environmentalist named Pamela Eisley.
The powerful Mother Box is by no means easily controlled by small humans. In an experimental accident, Pamela Eisley, played by Nicole Kidman, encountered the same situation as Cyborg and evolved into a superpower with the ability to control plants. Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy, who was brainwashed by the Joker, continued to work for the tiger. With her superpowers, she quickly mastered some of the uses of the Mother Box.
In a subsequent experiment, through the space-time gap opened by the Mother Box, the Joker easily spread a nerve agent that can make people crazy to the town where the laboratory is located, triggering a catastrophe like an apocalyptic crisis.
After Poison Ivy saw the miserable plight of the town's residents, she parted ways with the Joker and soon met Catwoman.
Simon made a small contribution in this plot. Of course, it was just a point. The United States in the 1990s was generally conservative. Both gay love and lace were somewhat out of date. Of course, people who are gay in their hearts will definitely be able to see it at a glance. Understand the essence.
If the experiment is successful, the clown will use the countless space-time gaps opened by the mother box to spread his nerve gas all over the world in a short period of time, turning everyone into a 'clown'.
Batman tried his best, but ultimately failed to stop the Joker. The nerve agent used the space-time gaps that the Mother Box kept opening to spread to the entire world with Gotham City as the center.
At a critical moment, Poison Ivy, who turned from darkness to light, developed an antidote to the nerve agent.
The best way is of course to spread the antidote through the space-time gap of the Mother Box.
Unfortunately, compared to the well-prepared Joker, the antidote developed by Poison Ivy was very small, and it was impossible to replicate enough of the antidote in a short period of time. When the situation almost reached a dead end, Poison Ivy thought of another way, using the natural purification effect of plants to crack the Joker's nerve agent.
With the help of Catwoman, Poison Ivy found an ancient tree vine in the Gotham City Botanical Garden that could perfectly combine with the nerve agent antidote and be able to quickly purify it in a short time. So, on the other side, Batman and the Joker As the final battle unfolded, a shocking scene also appeared in Gotham City.
At the cost of consuming her own life force, Poison Ivy spawned countless wildly growing vines, which also spread rapidly in all directions with Gotham City as the center, and successfully purified the nerve agent released by the Joker. The once steel jungle soon became It turned into a green city covered with vines.
After a fierce battle, Batman successfully subdued the Joker, and the space-time gap opened by the Mother Box was closed.
Although it cost a heavy price, Gotham City, and the entire world, was once again saved.
At the end of the story, Gotham City regained its calm and the auction was held as scheduled. However, Bruce Wayne lost to a mysterious girl of unknown origin in the auction of the Mother Box. In the end, Bruce Wayne and that The mysterious girl who introduced herself as Diana Prince sat across from each other in a coffee shop, and the Easter egg scene in "Batman: The Dark Knight" reappeared.
