The young man who plays Batman is named Harvey.
He is a senior member of the "American Er Go Club" and also an avid fan of Lu Yuan.
When he learned that he was going to act with his idol, he was in a state of excitement for a whole month.
Morning of August 10th.
He arrived at the crew early and waited for Lu Yuan's arrival with trepidation.
The sun is rising.
He stared at the work vehicles entering the crew and watched the actors get off the vehicles. Finally, at 7:30 in the morning, he saw from the car a young man wearing a hat walking out of the vehicle accompanied by director Wei Wuji.
"Mr. Lu Yuan!"
When he saw the person coming, his eyes lit up and he immediately went over to greet him excitedly.
"Um?"
When Lu Yuan saw someone calling him, he subconsciously raised his head and looked at Harvey with a smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Lu... Mr. Lu Yuan..."
When Harvey saw Lu Yuan's smile, his heart trembled, and then his throat seemed to be strangled, and he suddenly became speechless and stammered.
A chill from the depths of his soul ran through his entire body.
His breathing hitched.
He stared at Lu Yuan blankly, his mind going blank.
Especially Lu Yuan's smile. He didn't know how to describe Lu Yuan's smile. It was obviously a normal smile, but it seemed to have a way of piercing your heart directly, as if you were facing the most terrifying, unpredictable evil monster that could pounce on you at any time...
What's wrong with me?
"Good morning, Mr. Harvey." Lu Yuan looked at Harvey with a strange expression and was a little confused.
What's wrong with this person?
Weird.
"Okay..." Harvey forced a smile and greeted Lu Yuan.
What's wrong with me?
He stared blankly at Lu Yuan's back.
As Lu Yuan gradually moved away, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it was a bit exaggerated, he found that his back seemed to be wet without realizing it.
What's going on with this terrifying momentum?
…
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen..."
"Tonight, we are here to add to the fun..."
"I just have one question."
"Harvey, where is Dent..."
Under bright lights.
Everyone looked at an ugly uninvited guest in fear as he walked into the banquet.
He strolled leisurely in the garden with a smile on his face.
The entire hall was silent, with only the clown's weird expression and his aggressive, crazy voice.
Then, the clown suddenly pulled a woman.
"Originally, I had a wife..."
"She always says I'm too sentimental..."
"She said I should smile..."
"But she has a lot of debt from gambling..."
"Finally one day, they damaged her face, but we didn't have the money for surgery, and she was in so much pain that she couldn't get out of it..."
"I just want to see her smiling face again..."
"I want her to know that I don't care about scars..."
"Then……"
“…”
The clown's voice echoed in the hall...
He was holding a knife and saying some incomprehensible words next to the girl.
His voice was filled with violence, madness, and a hint of hatred towards this world, but it was not hysterical...
seem……
He was mocking something again.
Especially his bloody lips, his voice and the glowing dagger in his hand, which frightened the girl he caught to the extreme...
She seemed to be looking at an extremely paranoid demon from hell.
She was so frightened that she couldn't breathe.
Everyone present didn't dare to breathe and just watched the scene, fearing that the knife would suddenly scratch the girl's face.
Under the light, the clown's back was stretched out.
Everyone who saw this scene turned extremely pale. It was clear that the clown in front of them was not targeting them, but...
They still feel difficulty breathing!
How powerful must a person's aura be to scare everyone?
Strength in numbers?
This idiom seems to be completely useless here.
He alone suppressed the momentum of everyone.
As the clown continued to speak, he suddenly felt a tremor in his arms.
He looked down and saw that the girl was breathing rapidly, and then she fainted from fright.
"Click"
At this moment...
Fatty Wei's voice came from not far away.
After hearing Fatty Wei's voice, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Yuan looked at the dagger, then looked at the girl who had fainted in his arms, and he smiled bitterly...
Fainted again.
However, his bitter smile made everyone hold their breath.
"Ayuan...acting with you requires a strong heart!"
"Um?"
…
Wei Wuji was right. To act opposite Lu Yuan now, one really needs a strong heart.
Lu Yuan seemed to have been reborn. Whether during or after the filming, he gave people an extremely cold and crazy feeling.
His every move and every smile seemed normal, yet they gave people a chill.
In the crew, except for Fatty Wei and a few others, no one dared to talk to Lu Yuan.
The entire "Batman 2" crew has been shrouded in a depressing atmosphere since Lu Yuan arrived.
Even the protagonist Harvey woke up from his sleep many times, and kept touching his heart, and every time he would unconsciously look at the bat suit hanging in the room.
“Hahahaha, hahaha!”
"ha."
“…”
His mind was filled with the clown's laughter.
Batman 2 was not shot sequentially.
Harvey didn't know how many times he had to do NG. He always finished shooting other scenes in one take, but when he was acting with Lu Yuan, he performed poorly and didn't even know how to say his lines.
Every time he acted with Lu Yuan, he felt like he was talking to a monster that controlled people's hearts.
It was a simple statement, but Harvey always felt that Lu Yuan was digging into his bottom line, and then, unconsciously, he used some kind of hint to subvert his worldview...
"To them, you're just a freak like me. They need you now. When they don't want you anymore, they'll ostracize you. Look at their moral code, their laws and regulations..."
Several times, he even deviated from his lines and nodded completely uncontrollably. In fact, he was bewitched by the person in front of him deep in his heart...
He is Batman!
This is not what Batman does.
How could Batman be bewitched by the Joker?
He must resist, he must resist!
but……
How does he resist?
A person whose momentum is completely crushed by others and who is mentally hypnotized. Even if he wanted to play such a person, he couldn't do it at all.
When acting, you have to devote your whole heart into it, right?
"I feel like I'm a bit like the Joker's henchman. I shouldn't play Batman..."
"Mr. Wei, I...I can't do it!"
“…”
Late at night on August 16, Harvey, who was awakened by a nightmare again, called Fatty Wei.
On the other end of the phone, Fatty Wei was silent for a long time.
"How much penalty do you want to pay?"
Fatty Wei suddenly said this.
Harvey was silent too.
"Maybe I want to see a psychiatrist..."
"There are some in the crew. Are you in the hotel?"
"Um……"
"Then I'll ask a psychiatrist to come over?"
"good."
After listening to what Fatty Wei said, he hung up the phone.
Then he stood up and looked at his haggard self in the mirror.
Batman 2 was never meant to be a horror movie.
But for some reason, he felt that he was more terrifying than being in a horror movie.
He really should see a psychiatrist.
About half an hour later, there was a knock on the door.
He opened the door.
He saw a man and a woman.
When he saw the man, his pupils shrank.
Then……
Suffocated.
"Is it convenient for you to come and sit here?"
“…”
Although Lu Yuan had taken off his makeup, Harvey could still feel that frightening smile.
…
Two months later, Lu Yuan left the "Batman 2" crew after filming most of his scenes.
The next scenes can just be re-shot when necessary, or left to post-production.
He is very busy.
The movie "Titanic" is still waiting for him, and he has no time to rest.
After Lu Yuan left, the feeling of oppression in the entire "Batman 2" crew was much less.
as if……
The clouds dispersed.
"The character of the Joker is very charming. People who watch the movie in the future will definitely say so... However, the person who plays with the Joker is... miserable..."
Fatty Wei shook his head after watching the scene filmed by Lu Yuan.
Quite emotional.
Batman Harvey breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally over.
In the past two months, he felt like he was living in hell. Every time he acted opposite Lu Yuan, he tried his best to shoot the scene, but even so, he still felt controlled by Lu Yuan's aura.
That night two months ago, Lu Yuan talked to him about the script.
After discussing the script, he felt less stressed.
Batman in Batman 2 is just an ordinary person. He has been confused, reflected, and felt fear. This is not a problem for the entire Batman 2 movie. Instead, it shows more depth and exploration of human nature...
Who says heroes have to be perfect?
Perhaps, this can be considered another kind of perfection.
Of course, Harvey was doing pretty well. Although he had a very depressing two months, he managed to get through it.
However, several supporting actresses in the crew were not so lucky.
Those who had worked with Lu Yuan left the crew of "Batman 2" early and went to see a psychologist.
They felt that they had suffered severe psychological trauma, and the appearance of the clown was like a nightmare that lingered in their minds, even if Lu Yuan was not with them, even if they knew that the character of the clown itself was not a real person.
They were really scared!
…
"Mr. Lu Yuan, you... you are so scary!"
“…”
"Mr. Lu Yuan, I don't know why, but I get so scared when I see you that my body can't help but tremble."
“…”
"Mr. Lu Yuan, is this really the hero of Titanic in your mind?"
“…”
"Mr. Lu Yuan... I don't know why. Obviously, your smile was very beautiful before, but now... it should still be beautiful now, but... I'm a little afraid of you."
When Lu Yuan came to the crew of "Titanic" and saw the terrified expression of the heroine Kate again, Lu Yuan turned around and looked in the mirror.
When he saw his own smile in the mirror, he found...
Something doesn't seem right.
He seems...
He has become one with the character of the Joker.
"Jack is a very charming character, well, give me a day..."
"I'll be very attractive!"
Lu Yuan looked at Kate seriously.
Now he doesn't dare to laugh anymore.
