Lu Yuan didn't pay attention to the ups and downs in China, nor did he care what had happened during this period.
At this moment, he just wants to play the role of the clown well...
Is this role easy to play?
No!
This role is not easy to play, especially the absurdity, madness, and irony that are so deeply rooted in people's hearts. It is really difficult.
Ordinary people simply can’t act well.
So……
What is the Joker's background in the comics?
Some say he is Batman's brother, symbolizing black and white, some say he is just a lucky psychotic lunatic, some say he was born in the slums and saw many dark things in his childhood, and eventually, he developed a crazy personality...
but……
There is no real background of the Joker's birth in the comics. When he appeared, he was Batman's opponent.
In the original world, there was an actor named Heath Ledger who played the Joker. For a long time after the performance, he was regarded as the Joker, and there was no more Joker after Heath Ledger.
Later, another actor appeared and broke this rumor...
The Joker that Lu Yuan is going to play at this moment is Heath Ledger's version of the Joker.
wrong!
Not just any version of the Joker, his own version of the Joker.
Yes!
Lu Yuan wanted to challenge this role.
…
Staying in a room, Lu Yuan calmly looked at the sunset in the sky.
Whenever he closed his eyes, the Joker's laughter in "Batman 2" and his wanton, unpredictable expression would appear in his mind.
The expression seems to contain too many things.
If you laugh, then laugh till you are crazy.
When the sun set and the earth was gradually shrouded in darkness, Lu Yuan stood up, turned around and saw a line of words he had written on the desk.
He took a deep breath and then walked to the mirror next to him that was as tall as a person.
Then……
“Hahahaha, hahahahaha, haha…”
Without any warning, he saw himself laughing in the mirror, and the sound sounded extremely harsh.
After laughing for a while, Lu Yuan's smile stopped instantly.
Then he stared at himself in the mirror.
The eyes in the mirror turned red and stared at himself intently.
His eyes gradually became fierce.
The more he stared, the more ferocious he became.
It seemed as if at any moment, it would rush out of the mirror and tear itself into pieces.
Under the dim light, there was a room with only one window and a closed door, accompanied by the sound of running water in the bathroom.
Everything looks so weird and cold.
It's like a scene from a horror movie.
In those fierce eyes, it seemed as if there were countless voices roaring and raging...
The depression reached its extreme, and I couldn't even breathe.
Then……
“Hahahahahaha, hahaha, hahaha.”
Lu Yuan suddenly laughed again.
In a room alone, Lu Yuan in the mirror laughed like a madman, without any warning, and even Lu Yuan himself didn't know why he was laughing.
The situation was tense just a moment ago, why is it so...
Are you laughing?
He has been staying in this room for more than a month. What he does every day is to smile at the mirror and then stare at the sunset in the sky in a daze.
No one spoke to him, and he had no means of entertainment.
Everything is in a state of lockdown.
Lu Yuan still remembers that day when "Star Wars" had just been released, Thomson, who should have been immersed in the glory, suddenly found him.
He said he didn't want to live in his own shadow and he wanted to see if he could do it.
A month later, he wrote the script of "Dawn" and asked Lu Yuan for $100 million. The filming was in full swing at that time.
Although it is unknown what the box office will be like in the future, at least Thompson is trying to be himself and does not want to live under anyone's shadow.
In fact, Lu Yuan is the same.
Once upon a time, the world seemed to have given Lu Yuan wealth. This wealth allowed Lu Yuan to live a good life, and for a long time he maintained the mentality of making money, marrying a wife and having children.
But as the days passed and after experiencing one thing after another, Lu Yuan's heart began to change a little differently.
The things in the original world seemed like pressure, making Lu Yuan very uncomfortable. It was also like a cage, and Lu Yuan was trapped in it and couldn't get out.
He can live a good life, have things that ordinary people can never imagine, and live in glory for a long time.
He had thought more than once about what he would be like when he had truly run out of ideas and had nothing left.
What is the meaning of my life?
You have to prove something, right? Even if no one witnesses it, at least you can prove yourself, right?
Although, this seems a bit overconfident...
“Hahahahahaha!”
When he laughed this time, the laughter and expression of Heath Ledger's version of the Joker in the original world appeared in his mind.
Echoing and laughing again and again in the room, Lu Yuan seemed to have become one with the clown.
Slowly...
Lu Yuan in the mirror closed his eyes and shook his head. It was as if there was a flame of unwillingness in his body, attacking everything in his mind.
He is himself!
He is not anyone but himself!
He is Lu Yuan!
It’s always just Lu Yuan!
Countless voices echoed around him, and Lu Yuan in the mirror began to dance. It seemed that there was some melody echoing along with the dance...
He was still smiling, but his expression began to distort gradually, and at the same time he felt the shackles of breaking through.
Countless things, like monsters and nightmares, echoed around him.
When he opened his eyes again, he looked around, and then he found that the whole world had turned gray.
He went to the bathroom and washed his face, then looked up and saw a strange self in the bathroom mirror.
He wasn't smiling, but the reflection in the mirror seemed to be smiling.
Capricious, violent, playful, crazy yet calm...
He tried to open his mouth and made it into the shape of a smiling face.
This is a very strange situation...
call……
"My hair looks messy..."
"Um."
“But it’s very comfortable!”
"Um……"
“…”
He nodded to himself, then went back to bed and closed his eyes.
…
"What will our third child be named?"
"Just call me Lu Zhou!"
"Why?"
"I don't know, I feel like our child will be a top student in college..."
"ah?"
“…”
“…”
In sleep.
Faintly, Lu Yuan heard a voice.
When he opened his eyes again, he seemed to see another person who looked exactly like him teasing the child.
Lu Yuan looked around.
Then, he found himself dreaming about the original world again.
This is a hospital.
It should be the county hospital.
Then, Lu Yuan saw a woman lying on the bed caressing the newborn baby.
Beside the bed are my parents from the original world...
They smiled happily and joyfully at the birth of this child...
Everyone's focus was on the child.
Everything is so perfect.
This is a little life.
Lu Yuan watched and suddenly laughed.
Really good.
Afterwards, Lu Yuan left the room and came to the hospital lobby. After leaving the lobby, he saw this familiar world again.
Then……
"The mysterious screenwriter of 'King Kong' and 'Titans' is actually in this hospital. This time I have to make a headline!"
"right!"
"Their child was born?"
“It seems like she was born!”
“…”
Lu Yuan saw several sneaky reporters passing through his body and hurriedly running towards the ward.
"I really am not!"
"You got the wrong person!"
“…”
Not long after, another Lu Yuan in the ward walked out helplessly.
Although the other Lu Yuan denied it, the reporters were still extremely excited.
They didn't believe it and asked all kinds of questions. The other Lu Yuan could only nod and admit it reluctantly, and then said that he would say something publicly next.
After finally dealing with these reporters and watching them leave the hospital happily, the other Lu Yuan took out a cigarette and came over to smoke.
"Why……"
"I just want to live an ordinary life. I never want to be a famous screenwriter... It would be great to have a wife, children and a warm bed!"
"Why……"
“I really don’t want to be famous!”
Under the sunshine, Lu Yuan watched another Lu Yuan stroke his stubble with a sigh, then looked deeply into the distance.
Then……
He let out a long sigh, looking as if he had seen through the world.
This look is the ultimate in pretentiousness.
How can there be such shameless people in this world?
Somehow, Lu Yuan really wanted to beat him up.
At this moment, the other Lu Yuan turned his head as if he sensed something.
He looked in Lu Yuan's direction.
"Thanks!"
"No matter the time, no matter the place, no matter what the moment..."
"May my loved ones be well..."
After saying this, he put out his cigarette, turned around and walked towards the ward.
Lu Yuan looked at his back.
Then, the whole world went dark.
When Lu Yuan woke up again, it was already daytime.
"May you all be well too!"
Lu Yuan stood up and pushed open the door.
He suddenly felt that the sunlight outside the door was very dazzling...
When he really got used to it, he saw Fatty Wei standing at the door.
The corner of his mouth curved up and he smiled unconsciously.
"Director Wei, sorry to have kept you waiting."
"Ayuan...are you...are you okay?" Fatty Wei asked timidly when he saw Lu Yuan coming out.
"fine."
"You...are you really Lu Yuan?"
"If not me, then who?"
"Forehead……"
“It’s time to shoot!”
"ah……"
Fatty Wei's heart trembled.
Fatty Wei looked at Lu Yuan, who was smiling strangely, and somehow felt more unfamiliar than ever before.
At the same time, there is a deep-seated sense of fear and oppression.
Although he just stood there simply, he looked extremely calm.
but……
Fatty Wei, however, felt as if Lu Yuan would attack him at any time.
This is a feeling from deep within the soul...
chill.
As if he were a calm madman.
What on earth happened to this person?
