Chapter 965 -885: Walking through Fire with Complete Wickedness_2
So, the Joker is chaotic and evil, but he is also free.
He can freely set fires, explode things, and kill people, which aligns so well with the freedom of America.
After all, America promotes their democracy and freedom worldwide through these methods.
Faced with such correct words, Grant was slightly startled before asking, “But the freedom of the Joker could lead to destruction.”
This question didn’t stump Martin, who said, “I think the Joker’s goal isn’t to see the world destroyed, but to see it reborn.”
Grant thought to himself, you’re the director of the film, whatever you say makes sense.
After the interview, the exclusive smoothly appeared in “The New Yorker,” and the movie’s poster also became the new face of “The New Yorker.”
The crew took this opportunity to launch a wave of promotions, with the film’s official website and social media channels popping up, all featuring the poster with Martin as the leading actor.
This garnered widespread attention.
On the poster, with a burning city as the background, Martin, dressed in a purple-red suit, walked arrogantly through the flames, portraying the Joker’s madness and evil.
It seemed wherever the Joker walked, chaos ensued.
Multiple movie magazines and websites joined in on the coverage.
“‘Joker’ first edition poster revealed, Martin walks through fire with wicked allure!”
Concurrently announced was the shooting of “Joker” at the Brooklyn Studio in New York, along with the exact North American release date next year.
The Joker character had already become legendary among movie fans and on the internet.
Martin’s version was hailed as the first villain in movie history.
Once the Joker standalone film was announced, it immediately triggered a strong response from movie fans.
“Martin’s Joker is truly captivating, Batman is just trash before him.”
“The poster is super explosive, super excited!”
“Martin’s previous Joker was enough to become legendary, now he wants to challenge himself, hoping he can surpass himself.”
“Looking forward to Martin bringing us a masterpiece!”
“Don’t want comic style, don’t want fake comic backgrounds, it has to be shot as a realistic film!”
“If Martin wins Best Supporting Actor for this Joker role and then Best Actor, that would be thrilling!”
Although online comments are just for fun, some of them make sense.
In the hotel room, Silsa Ronan had just performed a dance report for Martin, showing off her body’s flexibility without reservation, and now she was scrolling through social media on her phone, saying, “Can this role really win another Oscar for acting?”
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
With a clear-headed and refreshing demeanor, Martin poured two glasses of wine, handing one to Silsa, “Other aspects are hard to say, but the nature of the character is no problem.”
“The nature of the character?” Silsa sincerely asked her teacher, “What specifically does that mean?”
Martin replied directly, “Of course, it’s about selling misery. When I chatted casually with Nicholson and Leonardo, they told me that the Oscar for acting should be renamed the Misery Selling Award.”
Silsa pondered briefly and said, “That seems somewhat reasonable.”
She carefully recalled, “I’m not clear about the distant past, just the last twenty or so years, most actors who won Best Actor or Actress portrayed rather tragic characters.”
Martin nodded slightly.
Silsa also listed a few examples, “Jodi Foster’s character was under scrutiny, Tom Hanks first got AIDS then was gay, followed by being intellectually disabled, Daniel Day Lewis was a cripple, Charlize Theron nearly destroyed her own image, Russell Crowe’s entire family died…”
There were just too many examples of misery selling, she couldn’t count them all at once.
Discovering that according to this theory, the role indeed had no issues.
The Joker absolutely met the requirements of the Oscar’s Misery Selling Association.
Martin lifted his glass, took a sip, and said, “Let’s not worry about those things now, getting the film shot smoothly is what matters, and the difficulty of filming this one is much higher than ‘Shark Beach’.”
Silsa cheered Martin on, “Teacher, you can definitely do it.”
Martin still felt some pressure and slowly sipped his wine.
Silsa knew her teacher too well and immediately saw that Martin was under pressure. As a good student, she naturally wanted to find ways to help her teacher relieve stress. She said, “In a little while, I’ll invite some friends to New York for a party. Do you have time, Teacher?”
Martin certainly had time, “I should be able to make it.”
Silsa said, “The guests are all people we know, Sophia Stallone, Elle Fanning, and the Fanning Sisters. After filming starts, they will come to visit my set.”
Martin remembered that she had known them for a long time.
After the start of the new week, the crew’s preparations continued, and in addition to directing, Martin also specifically took time to rehearse with actors like Silsa Ronan and Robert De Niro.
The various preparations he had made for “Split” could also be applied to the performance of the character “Joker.”
The traits of split personalities would certainly not appear in the Joker. The character Martin was creating would only evolve towards madness and chaos.
Meanwhile, Louise had settled matters with New York City Hall regarding the outdoor shooting.
Since the crew would not be shooting outdoors in Manhattan apart from New York City Hall, the outdoor scenes were mainly set to be shot in Queens, which made scheduling relatively easier.
Then there was the New York subway; after inspecting, the outdoor team said that the old subway didn’t need any special setup and could be shot directly to achieve the desired effect, given that the earliest line had been operating since the beginning of the 19th century.
Moreover, Wayne Manor had also found a suitable filming location.
Resources should not flow into strangers’ fields. Aside from an apartment in the Upper East Side, Martin had a villa on Long Island.
The villa could be rented to the crew for filming.
While preparations were underway, Martin left New York at the end of April and went to Houston, the largest city in Texas, to attend the premiere of “Border Killer,” produced by Davis Studio.
Since the film involved issues between the Texas and Mexico border, the premiere was specially set in Houston.
Martin walked the red carpet and posed for photos with the main creators.
Director Denis Villeneuve was full of vigor. Due to the huge success of “The Town” and the raving reviews of “Border Killer” from several previews, he had already received an invitation from 20th Century Fox to direct the sequel to the classic sci-fi “Blade Runner.”
The film had flopped miserably back in the day. After many years, thanks to the accumulation of a good reputation offline and the profits it generated, Fox finally made up its mind to bring the sequel into production.
Martin didn’t say much and congratulated Denis Villeneuve, also declining Villeneuve’s offer for the lead male role in the film.
High-concept sci-fi films have a high chance of failing.
Then, Josh Brolin, who had confirmed to play Thanos, also came over to greet Martin.
The main creative team entered the theater, leaving Martin finally alone.
Alexandra Daddario came over, her arm in his, and said, “The lead actress is so weird.”
Martin asked, “What’s weird about it?”
“When we were shooting, I thought I was the absolute protagonist,” Alexandra had already seen the preview, and shrugged, “But once the film was complete, I realized that halfway through, the protagonist changed, and my character Kate became a disposable role, merely a tool and a bystander.”
Martin smiled, “That’s why Denis Villeneuve is a genius.”
He thought for a moment and added, “I’ll get you a script for a disaster film; familiarize yourself with the lead actress.”
Alexandra directly asked, “Is it that project you mentioned last time? The lead male is a firefighter, and you’re preparing to star.”
“That’s right,” Martin briefly replied, “I’m not very satisfied with the script yet, I’m having the screenwriter make some revisions, probably ready by next month.”
The main creators had entered the movie theater and Martin took a seat in the second row; the film began to be shown soon.
This wasn’t purely a commercial film; it bore Denis Villeneuve’s strong personal style, and it seemed he was seeking to find a balance between commerce and art, exploring the ‘boundaries.’
Although the changes between the main characters were unexpected, overall, the film was quite spectacular.
