Chapter 667 Explosive Reputation and Box Office!

"Holy crap! Batman is going to help Harvey take all the blame!"

"This should be the only solution."

"This is what the Dark Knight originally meant..."

"The murderer was Batman, what does it have to do with me, Bruce Wayne?"

"That's the real meaning of the movie's title!"

…

When seeing this plot, thousands of movie fans suddenly realized why this movie was called "The Dark Knight".

"Because we had to catch him."

"Because Gotham City needs heroes like him, but no one can say this, so we have to catch him because he can endure this."

"Because he is not a hero in our minds, he is a silent guardian, a guardian who is always vigilant."

"Knight in the Dark."

With Gordon's last words to his son, the chapter of "The Dark Knight" comes to a close!

When the movie's credits and cast list appeared, almost all movie fans around the world felt a sense of trance.

The nearly three-hour movie ended like this.

Traditionally, once a movie exceeds 2 hours, the audience will feel a little tired, but this classic "The Dark Knight" is not only full in length, but also full of information and plot!

Unlike other superhero movies, the Batman series has quite a few plot twists. Each twist can arouse the expectations and cheers of movie fans. The creation of this sense of atmosphere is really powerful.

"Wonderful!"

"It's so exciting..."

"What a masterpiece!"

"Wori, if I doubt Lin Qiu any more in the future, I will be Shabi! Lin Qiu is God!"

"One of the most classic superhero movies in history!"

"The showdown between Batman and the Joker will definitely become a classic in film history."

"Holy shit, shit, shit! I want to give this movie to everyone!"

"The clown is so... so cool..."

…

At the moment the movie ended, many fans in the theater were excited, excitedly sharing their thoughts about the movie with their friends and lovers!

In short, it’s just one word – cool!

The plot of the entire movie is actually relatively gloomy. After all, what the clown did was completely unrelated to human affairs, but it was able to make movie fans keep shouting the word "f*ck" while watching the movie.

After watching the final ending, movie fans can truly understand the word "Dark Knight"!

Gotham needs a hero, and this hero will be bright, so Harvey's image of the Bright Knight is unbreakable. The hero does not appear in the form of Batman.

People can't accept Batman's existence, but they all need Batman.

Batman silently guards the city at night and brings hope of justice to the citizens, but he is just a knight who can only hide in the darkness. In the name of Batman, he resists everything.

From this point of view, who wins the showdown between the Joker and Batman?

It’s hard to say!

But there is no doubt that the excitement of this movie far exceeds the imagination of almost all fans, even Lin Qiu's die-hard fans!

You don’t even need to leave the theater. Just seeing the reaction of many audiences in the theater, you know that this will be a superhero movie that will go down in history!

Needless to say, the achievements of "The Dark Knight" in the previous life. In the previous life, the Oscar environment for superhero movies was worse than the Oscar environment in this world. But even so, "The Dark Knight" still won eight Oscars. Award nomination!

There was one thing that impressed Lin Qiu deeply at that time.

It was on IMDB, a foreign media rating website, that fans of "The Godfather" and "Dark Knight" started fighting. They wanted to have their favorite film ranked first in ratings, but the result was a snipe and a clam. The fisherman profits...

Which movie has the highest rating on IMDB?

It is the masterpiece "Shawshank Redemption" that Lin Qiu is about to shoot.

It may be able to compete with masterpieces such as "The Godfather" and "The Shawshank Redemption", which is enough to prove that "The Dark Knight" is a masterpiece in itself.

Based on the framework of the superhero theme, it cannot be said that "The Dark Knight" has come to an end, but in both the past and present worlds, Lin Qiu has not seen a superhero movie that is better than this movie!

Therefore, the entire "Dark Knight" crew was not at all panicked by the mediocre response to the first part, because they knew that the second part was really exciting, especially the role of the Joker!

…

A blockbuster bomb exploded in the film industry around the world!

It exceeded the expectations of everyone inside and outside the circle.

In the past, due to the response to the first film, even professionals in the industry were not sure that Lin Qiu could make a superhero film well. However, as soon as the film was released, the quality trumped everything else, and all the objections disappeared. .

Instead, fans went completely crazy!

On the Movie software, the opening score is a high score of 9.8, and due to the crazy ratings from movie fans, the number of ratings is still soaring!

"(9.9 points) Shocking! So shocking! Let me just say this, this superhero is not on the same level as other superheroes at all. If you haven't seen it, go and watch it! It's the best among the best!"

"(10 points) I have never had such a good time watching a movie in a cinema. I feel like my blood is boiling all over my body. I am so good that I don’t want to waste a second. The Joker is so damn handsome. Batman and Two-Face The three images of Harvey and the Joker vividly reflect the contradictions and choices between good and evil."

"(10 points) The reason I gave 10 points is that Lin Qiu broke my knowledge and was able to shoot Chaoying to such a high level. I declare that Lin Qiu is a god just like the old thieves."

"(9.8 points) Joker! Hughes! So handsome! I have never seen such a handsome villain! I apologize for giving the first part 8.5 points. If it is a series of movies, the first part is too important."

"(9.9 points) It's both exciting and depressing to watch. It's a great, popular and profound business masterpiece. Evil thoughts are like gravity, all it takes is a gentle push!"

"(10 points) My beloved Joker! The most awesome villain! The thinking about the paradox of good and evil in human nature, justice and law is too profound, but I don’t want to discuss it. I just want to say, Lin Qiu is awesome! Batman Awesome! Clown is awesome!”

…

The crazy comments from movie fans immediately triggered a global reaction.

Many movie fans who were waiting to watch for the first time were stunned when they saw so many good reviews. You know, the reason why they were waiting to watch was because they didn't like the first movie and thought it was bland and boring. Boring...   But things like word of mouth cannot deceive people, because the base is too large. Even if the film studio buys a splash, small movies are fine, but a big movie is not a splash, but a splash.

So if movie fans say it is a masterpiece, then it must be a masterpiece.

The madness of the Joker, the forbearance of Batman, and the fall of Two-Face. Just seeing these words made these fans feel itchy. They immediately bought the nearest movie ticket and went to the cinema to find out!

Lin Qiu didn't watch this movie in the cinema that year. After all, it wasn't even released in mainland China, but even if he watched it on a computer, it was still a blast, not to mention the effect in the cinema.

As for the villain, the Joker, who treats indiscriminate killing as a means of entertainment, that is the real horror and the revelation of the extremely dark part of human nature.

It is not unreasonable to be loved and talked about by so many movie fans.

Looking at the discussion of "The Dark Knight" for the first time, the discussion about the Joker is even higher than that of Batman. One can imagine the super popularity of the Joker!

Almost all movies do not have too many spoilers on social media when they are just released, but the effect of word-of-mouth has already caused the expected box office of "The Dark Knight" to soar!

The pre-sales of "The Dark Knight" itself are very high. After all, Lin Qiu's popularity is here. Once the word of mouth explodes, it is out of control in an instant!

As for actors, Hughes, who plays the clown, became famous overnight and became one of the most popular actors!

The showdown between the Joker and Batman is so classic that it’s hard to judge the winner.

The Joker believes that human nature is selfish, but when people on both cruise ships failed to press the detonation button, the Joker actually lost.

But when Gotham's most righteous prosecutor, Harvey, turned into a murderer, it was Batman who lost.

Gordon, Rachel, Harvey, Alfred, Batman, Joker, every character is an indispensable cog in this masterpiece.

Regarding Hughes' performance, as thousands of fans said:

"There may still be suspense about Best Picture and Best Director at next year's Oscars, but there is no suspense about Best Supporting Actor!!"

…

Hughes' performance as the Joker exudes impressive charisma.

Arrogant, cunning, almost crazy, but with a tragic color.

But from another perspective, the clown is free and unfettered. Especially the scene where the clown dances on the stairs vividly shows the clown's mental state.

Talking about this character in detail, I have to say that the character is really outstanding.

He is withdrawn, arrogant, and arrogant, but he also has a persistent belief that crime is valuable. This evil nature of the knight comes from the clown's growth process. He has experienced many tragic childhood injuries, and gradually See through human nature.

Many times, the clown's language in the movie itself is a little humorous, but under the clown's weird temperament, movie fans just can't laugh!

In order to play this role well, Hughes was completely immersed in it and presented such a classic character.

So much so that after filming ended, Lin Qiu intervened to help Hughes' mental health.

Let's put it this way, for a world-famous director like Ye Zhiyuan, his first reaction after watching "The Dark Knight" was not how superb Lin Qiu's direction was or how perfect the script was, but the actors...

Actors are the soul and foundation of a work.

Actors and directors are indispensable for each other's success.

This clown, if played by an actor other than Hughes, would definitely have a different effect.

But soon Ye Zhiyuan realized that actually choosing actors was a test of the director's film aesthetic. Perhaps having such an idea was enough to prove Hughes's outstanding acting skills.

…

It can be said that the shackles of superhero movies have been completely broken by the "Batman" series.

In a previous life, Jason Statham once said:

"Marvel's movies rely too much on CG and special effects, and they feel unreal."

But this "Batman" has no superpowers, no battle scenes that will destroy the world at any time. It pursues reality and real shooting. Even the super villain Joker is just an ordinary body.

But can't you be a superhero villain without superpowers?

Joker tells you, no.

It can be said that Lin Qiu's recent works, whether it is "Titanic" or "Batman", are doing one thing, something that the old thief has been doing since he ascended to the altar -

breaking cognition.

After this kind of breaking of cognition, whether it is readers, fans or audiences, their feelings are the kind of hearty feeling that is like breaking through the roof and flying out, breaking free from the shackles and seeing the vastness of the world.

Breaking through the obstacles of thinking and the shackles of cognition, feeling shocked!

The sense of shock is the most ideal and pleasant experience of entertainment works.

…

Word of mouth explodes.

The box office will naturally explode.

The Dark Knight, which was originally expected to have a box office of only 21 billion, soared to more than 32 billion in just two days after its release, surpassing the previous Avengers, and this trend shows no signs of stopping.

As a rare deep and satirical movie among superhero movies, The Dark Knight is not preachy at all, and it is not niche. It perfectly combines business and art, creating an unprecedented peak of superhero movies.

As a director, Lin Qiu did not attend a large number of events. He only participated in two official interviews with the actors in Xiazhou and answered some movie-related content. Because the new film is about to start, the promotion activities in Jiuzhou are still handed over to the deputy director and the leading actors.

Hughes went from a little-known actor to a sought-after object of all people. During the activities in Xiazhou, Hughes was almost the most popular one, which shows the popularity of the Joker.

As for the third part, it has not yet been scheduled. It is very likely that there will be no spoilers for the third part of the Batman series, Batman: The Dark Knight Rises, which will be released during the Spring Festival next year.

However, judging from the current situation, the release of the third part may naturally disappoint the fans.

Because the popularity of the Joker is really too high, and the plot of the third part does not include the Joker, but tells a different story.

At least in terms of the movie, the story of Batman and the Joker has come to an end for the time being.

As for the comic version, Lin Qiu is testing whether to serialize it after the official break.

Of course, this is all a story for later.
