Hollywood legendary director

Lehman didn't know that the director Nolan he was discussing had temporarily put "Fatal Magic" behind him, approached his brother Jonathan, and conceived the second Batman.

Of course, he doesn't care about the mess between Warner and Firefly. For him, he can make movies well, can make movies in a relatively free environment, and improve his living standards by the way. That is what he values.

Directors rarely spend extravagantly.

Perhaps it is the process of perennial filming, joy, enriching one's spiritual world and enjoying one's own work being loved by the audience. Pursuing movies is far more interesting than other unnecessary enjoyment.

A very tidy study room.

Next to a small desk.

Nolan and Jonathan are sitting side by side, looking through various materials.

Including but not limited to a series of comics such as "Batman: Fatal Joke" and "The Dark Knight".

For the sequel, Lehman once provided some ideas, such as adding a more chaotic villain.

As early as when filming the first part, Nolan used a part of the perspective to portray Gotham, a virtual and sinking city, and naturally this part of the idea cannot be wasted in the second part.

But how to express the high pressure when the order after "anarchy" is about to collapse is a difficult problem.

After many ideas, Nolan noticed the clown.

This behavior and character are like a character on the dark side of Batman, undoubtedly has this kind of crazy potential, and more importantly, it has always been popular among the villains in the Batman comics series.

To be honest, before taking over the "Batman" project, Nolan hadn't read the relevant comics much. This type of reading is not his favorite, so that in the creative process, it takes a lot of time to make up for the character setting and Part of the world view.

According to the success of the first part and the design of "Fatal Magic", the sequel continues the realistic and dark style, but the script writing still needs to be gradually improved and filled.

Lehman can only help out some key points. For example, the depiction of a clown's actions should not be written as a very ordinary criminal, but an anarchism is embedded in the bones. The criminal motive is also to attack the credibility of the government, overthrow the judicial order, and destroy Batman has always upheld social justice.

If Batman is a chivalrous character who does not indulge himself and uses fear to maintain the stability of Gotham, then the Joker should be a master of manipulating hearts, trying to overturn everything.

Nolan remembered what Lehman said, "If someone dies today and another person tomorrow, no one will be uneasy, because there are always all kinds of accidents in the world. Birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable, but if someone says to let the Gotham banner go Only when they die, the people will feel uneasy and feel like crazy."

For Nolan, he actually doesn't like Batman who transcends the law, even if he is just, so the keynote of the second part is to remove the bright hat of "compulsory police" and plunge into the night completely.

Having survived an unbearable past, if you want to maintain justice, you have to pay a price.

Simply put, Batman can't get rid of the night, nor can he get rid of it.

Therefore, Nolan felt that this second part was about a contest between two opponents who exceeded the rules.

Everything else serves this main line.

With a general direction, how to implement it is still a lot of work.

At this time, Nolan and Jonathan have basically no foreign visitors, and are obsessed with writing sequels.

This is Batman who belongs to him, and he understands the story, not just copying comics.

But it is unrealistic to be completely divorced, so the knowledge of evil is needed.

They read the comics, slowly deriving the image of the clown they needed.

From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, push it again, and then according to the ideas that continue to appear in the middle, the whole theme of "The Dark Knight" is reached.

Because he has experienced the cultural influence of the classical Victorian period since he was a child, Nolan did not intend to strengthen the force value of the characters in the second part. Batman will still be injured, hesitate, and die...

Others may bring characters into the comics, but Nolan puts aside those boring settings for the sake of coolness, looks directly at the inner nature of a character, and then ponders how to show similar characteristics in a new work.

Therefore, the writing speed of the "Dark Knight" script is very slow, and it is often abandoned after writing a paragraph.

But because Lehman raised some points from time to time, it was not impossible to write...

......

It was still dark, Christian Bell got up from the bed, washed briefly, and went into the exercise room.

In order to maintain his figure, or to build a healthy body, it is necessary for him to sweat every day.

But today's exercise always made him unable to concentrate.

Yesterday, he had a communication with Lehman. Christian Bale didn't know how he was feeling at the time. In short, it was very complicated.

Lyman told him yesterday that Batman's sequel "The Dark Knight" is writing a script.

Of course, Nolan also told him similar news, which is not too surprising.

After all, he has a good relationship with Nolan. The role of Batman Firefly has no plans to change, and there is nothing to say about it. It is also good to be informed in advance to prepare for the role.

But because of the success of "The Mystery of Chivalrous Shadow" and the rising popularity of passersby, Christian Bale is certainly not worth more than when he did not participate in the performance.

Not to mention how successful the role image is, just talking about the 374 million box office projects of Anti-Ding worldwide, it can become a bargaining chip on the negotiating table.

Of course, what he is actually worried about is not the salary issue. Although the agent regrets it because of the long-term contract for the trilogy, Christian Bale doesn’t feel much about it. Anyway, the money he made in the first movie. It's been enough for him for a long time.

——This is not an actor who spends a lot of money.

On the contrary, he is a person who pursues his career as an actor.

Otherwise, after becoming famous, he won't pick up works like "Vice President" and "Fighter".

Didn't he know that being thin and fast gaining weight will affect his health?

Even if he didn't know, his agent team knew it, but he still did.

If you don't like it, who would sacrifice for a role?

The trilogy, limited to the role of Batman, made him afraid of being stereotyped by the audience like Hugh Jackman.

Especially during the collaboration with "Fatal Magic", Hugh Jackman said something to his heart.

You know, in order to cooperate with Fox's propaganda, he has to always pay attention to that he is Wolverine, a character, and not his original appearance.

Even if the movie is released, it still cannot get rid of the audience's existing impression.

He has participated in so many movies, but fans would only call him "Uncle Wolf". To be honest, he didn't like this title, which made him feel doomed.

Christian Bale will taste this kind of trouble too.

In fact, after the initial excitement, excitement, and joy, Bell seems to have discovered some of the shackles that the character of Batman brought him.

What's even more depressing is that the shackles seem to be locked up...

Bell can keenly feel that his actor career may be facing a huge challenge.

In the past, he is still himself, Trick Bateman (American mental patient), Travo (mechanic), many roles, not just Bruce Wayne.

A similar balance is broken, and the elusive nature of the situation is what makes Christian Bale's mood complicated.

More importantly, he could not refuse.

Not only was it because of the signing of the contract and the need to fulfill the contract, but also that Nolan and Lehman were both directors he admired very much. The two blessings together made him unable to say the meaning of rejection.

In other words... a headache.

No way, just take one step at a time.

Thinking back to what Lehman said to him yesterday, I always feel that the second part will be even more exciting and even better. This is actually good news.

Even if it's a repetitive role, it's better to bring something new.

Raising his hand to wipe with a towel, and taking a shower in the bathroom, Christian Bell drove back to the community where Nolan lived.

Nolan bought a real estate in Beverly Hills, which was too noisy.

Of course, he often goes back to England to rest for a while, but he doesn't care where he lives...
