A round of applause…
With endless aftertaste and regret, "Batman 2" officially ended.
In order to cover up the darkness under the last light for the city, Batman bears all the sins and disappears into the night.
The Bat Signal was smashed, he was hunted by the police, and he became the Dark Knight.
"It's not that you won, but I... don't want to play anymore... hehe, hahaha..."
In the darkness, the Joker left these words and was locked up in a mental hospital accompanied by a crazy laughter.
His smile was extremely demonic. Even after the movie was over, that laughter and that face that was so twisted that it was chilling were still lingering in everyone's mind.
They seemed poisoned.
The clown played by Lu Yuan is like a monster, deeply subverting everyone's image of him.
It is hard to believe that the crazy clown on the screen was once the seemingly innocent "The Pianist on the Sea". It is also hard to believe that this clown was once the Supreme Treasure who said "I love you for ten thousand years"...
At this moment, everyone only remembers this clown.
After walking out of the cinema, the sun shone down, and An Xiao looked up at the distant "remote" direction.
Her mood was very complicated.
At the same time, like everyone else, her mind was filled with Lu Yuan's image and the plot of "Batman 2".
This movie is different from other superhero movies in Hollywood.
Once upon a time, great and bright heroes who were selfless, punishing evil and eliminating evil were mainstream and admirable.
but……
Such heroes seem a little far away from ordinary people.
I don’t know when it started, but the times have quietly begun to change.
Although heroes are still the main characters, and are still the theme of all movies, they are still kind and compassionate, helping the weak and fighting the strong, saving the world at every turn, and fighting against the evil in the world at every turn...
but……
But they are all the same, and everyone's aesthetic taste is beginning to get tired of it.
Batman is indeed different from mainstream superheroes. As Batman himself, he has his own growth experience, his own struggles, and a complete story. He seems to be more humane. More importantly, he is just an ordinary person who is slightly stronger than ordinary people.
This is a very complete story, which makes it more immersive than other superhero movies.
If the Joker had not appeared, then Batman would definitely be the shining star that everyone would discuss and get excited about.
But the clown appeared!
This is a very evil and very crazy person, but he always makes you think deeply inadvertently.
He stole all the limelight from Batman.
Moreover, in this world, the clown is Lu Yuan’s clown.
Destined...
The protagonist Harvey can only be reduced to a supporting role.
"What was the final box office revenue of this movie?"
When An Xiao got on the "long-distance" car, she murmured subconsciously.
…
Batman 2 is gaining momentum.
It has the momentum of a phenomenal movie.
There was a burst of exclamations on the American Movie Network, China Tomato Movie Network and major overseas movie websites.
"Amazing clown, shocking acting skills, he is like a madman, no, he is a madman..."
"It's hard to imagine that this image is so three-dimensional. Until now, the clown's laughter still lingers in my mind. I know that I may be poisoned. At the same time, I probably won't be able to sleep at night..."
"Likewise, I can't sleep... This is a demonic laugh that goes deep into my bones and soul. His every move and feeling tugs at my nerves!"
"Mr. Er Gouzi, you may be deified!"
“…”
“…”
Countless reviews have pushed Batman 2 to an exaggerated level.
In just less than a day, he surpassed "Batman 1", "Superman", "Titans", and even had the same score as "War and Roses"!
No. 1 in science fiction film history!
Superhero movies are the hottest, the most popular, and the new movies are the most popular in history...
Countless records were broken and created at this moment.
Lu Yuan’s name has once again dominated the global film industry, along with the name “Joker”.
And a sentence on Twitter from Nino, the world-renowned film master and director of "War and Roses", pushed everything to the extreme.
"This is the most shocking acting I have ever seen. Every word he said was extremely horrifying and inciting. He was like a monster..."
“Perhaps ‘War and Roses’ will become history!”
“…”
After all the eloquent words of praise, there was such a puzzling sentence at the end.
"War and Roses" is about to become history?
What does this mean?
"Fuck!"
"Nima! What Nino means is...wait! Batman 2 might surpass War and Roses at the box office!"
“…”
Chinese movie fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Then……
They were excited!
…
Wilson used to sleep well.
Basically, if there is nothing to do, I can sleep until dawn.
But ever since Lu Yuan showed up, he could only fall asleep with the help of sleeping pills.
This is a terrifying existence.
Moreover, it has affected his normal work and life more than once.
December 1st.
Wilson came out of the cinema and returned to his office without saying a word.
He glanced at the pile of papers on his desk and the numerous odds and ends of work in his mailbox, then closed his eyes.
He had absolutely no desire to work.
At this moment, the Joker's devilish laughter and the story of "Batman 2" kept replaying in his mind.
For some reason, the bad feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
This feeling is very uncomfortable.
seem……
What a historic moment has arrived.
“Beep, beep…”
The phone rang.
He opened his eyes and saw that the call was from Luo Lan.
"Hello……"
“…”
After answering the phone, there was silence on the other end.
Wilson looked at it oddly.
The phone hasn't been hung up yet.
"Hello?"
“…”
The phone remained silent.
"Hello! Mr. Lorraine?"
“…”
"Mr. Wilson, have you seen Batman 2?"
Just when Wilson thought Roland had dialed the wrong number, Roland's somewhat dry voice rang out.
"I saw it, what's wrong?"
"What do you think this movie will be like?"
"What?"
"His box office..."
“…”
…
On this day, none of the top executives of the eight major Hollywood companies were calm.
All the senior executives of entertainment companies have a very bad feeling of depression in their hearts.
The feeling took their breath away.
Almost every company executive has a detailed copy of Batman 2 on their desk.
The screening rate of "Batman 2" in major theaters is very high, reaching more than 60%.
The screening schedule for "War and Roses" was similar.
What kind of chemical reaction will such a terrifying screening rate coupled with Lu Yuan’s unparalleled box office appeal create?
neither knows.
However, everyone knows that the premiere will definitely be an amazing explosion that will blow up the world film industry.
It's a storm!
them……
Not ready yet.
Of course, there was no preparation for another terrible ending.
Early morning of December 2nd.
More than 80% of Hollywood company bosses keep their lights on in their offices all night, and all kinds of discussions can be heard from time to time.
The box office statistics for the first day of Batman 2 came very late. It was not until six o'clock in the morning that their phone suddenly rang...
They answered the call immediately.
Then, when they heard the staggering opening-day global box office figure of $62 million, they were choked.
They asked again in disbelief about the authenticity of the data.
final……
They were convinced of this staggering number.
final……
Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.
…
Paimon Corporation.
When this number came out, the whole office fell silent.
Everyone else in the office stared at the boss at his desk without daring to make a sound.
Boss Smith was looking through the data of "Hollywood Film History". When he turned to the page of "War and Roses", he stopped and stared at the box office of "War and Roses" on the opening day with bated breath.
I read it line by line.
When he stopped at a number, he lowered his head.
"War and Roses: $62 million!"
In the silent office, he read out the number without any warning.
Then, raise your head and look into the distance.
"Batman 2: $62 million!"
“The box office is flat!”
“…”
After saying these words, he became silent again.
The office was silent again.
but……
At this moment, Smith's voice echoed in everyone's heart.
“The box office is flat!”
…
once……
Some people thought that "War and Roses" was a peak that would never be surpassed.
once……
Everyone thought that no matter how the other three of the four Hollywood movies changed, "War and Roses" would never change!
but……
From this moment on, everything is in the past.
"This is the most humiliating night in Hollywood!"
"Unprecedented humiliation, unprecedented nightmare..."
"Batman 2 completely tore off the last bit of Hollywood's dignity and burned it to pieces!"
"Please remember this day! This day is..."
"December 2nd!"
“…”
After everyone left, Wilson quietly took out the diary from the drawer.
Then he wrote this line.
After finishing writing, he lowered his head.
This storm seems to come faster than usual!
This is a despair that comes from the depths of the soul.
"but……"
"uncertain!"
“It’s just keeping the same level now, it may not necessarily break the record!”
"Yes! Not necessarily! The box office on the second day is uncertain! It's normal for the box office to explode on the first day, but there will be Hollywood blockbusters on the second day, and the theater chain will not give such a high screening rate to "Batman 2"!"
“…”
In desperation, the inexplicable flames burned again.
as if……
The last straw!
He stared at another movie.
The 3D special effects blockbuster "God of the Sun" with an investment of 200 million US dollars.
This is the painstaking work of Duncan, the director of "El Nino", one of the four major Hollywood movies!
"I changed the name of the movie and the release date not to prove anything, but because I want to take back everything that belongs to me!"
In the promotional video...
Duncan said while staring intently into the camera.
