Full-time actor

Late at night on July 17, 2008.

William Mario has gone to the nearest movie theater to his home.

He was in a fit of rage the whole way.

Putting everything else aside, it was released simultaneously worldwide on July 18th, but there was a difference of several hours between North America and China.

This is utterly disrespectful to their local fans.

Just thinking about it made William Mario furious.

These idiots' arrangements completely disregarded DC fans like themselves.

Why is North America 8 hours behind China?!

Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

For the first time, time difference has become a reality that many North American DC fans cannot accept.

In their view, setting the release date on the same day globally is not as good as having North America release it a day earlier.

This at least shows that those bitches at Warner value this market.

Now that China has opened up first, these idiots just can't accept it at all!

Just then, William Mario stopped in his tracks.

A long line had already formed in front of them, and even though it was 11:30 p.m., there were still quite a few people waiting.

???

Black people, white people, and Chinese people gathered together, and the line even stretched to the doorway.

Most people had smiles on their faces.

Even though it was late at night, it did not dampen their enthusiasm.

Looking up at the spot in front of him, William Mario's face instantly darkened.

That damn Nolan!
The poster displayed in the very center of the movie theater is from "The Dark Knight"!
What's disgusting is that most of the posters and standees in the theater are about that nasty Chinese clown.

His face, covered in white mud, revealed a large, scarlet mouth that stood out prominently.

Greasy hair, coupled with that exaggerated expression.

This supervillain hero, who once terrorized Gotham City, did not meet a good end.

It's utterly defiled by this disgusting Chinese person!
Batman?!

Where is Batman? Is Bale really that useless?!
Why so serious？

Oh shit, just seeing that sentence made William Mario feel uncomfortable.

It must be said that he had a lot of opinions about the Joker this time.

What puzzled him even more was that in the past, superhero movies, whether on promotional posters or on signs in theaters, should have featured superheroes.

Whom are you trying to disgust this time by dressing up as a clown?

Standing at the end of the line, William Mario shook his head helplessly.

"I can not wait any more."

"Looking at the reviews on Rotten Tomatoes, most of them are praising Chan."

"I want to see how well this Joker, who was boycotted during the casting process, actually performs."

A woman's voice came from behind me.

Then came another person's answer.

"After watching Bruce Lee last time, I became a huge fan of Chan."

"I believe that the fact that this movie has received such a high rating will definitely surprise us."

WTF?

What the hell are you talking about?!

Could Bruce Lee be compared to a clown?
Can Chinese people play the role of gods in the white world?

William Mario looked utterly bewildered.

What does a high rating have to do with that disgusting Chinese clown?
Anyone would get a high rating for a script like this.

as predicted.

His compatriots sometimes really have questionable intelligence, allowing a Chinese person to insult their own country's superheroes, and yet there are still people who admire and praise them.

It's just so stupid!
The more William Mario thought about it, the more disgusted he became.

Just then, a commotion arose from the people in front of me.

"I'm sorry, sir."

"Tickets for the midnight showing of The Dark Knight are sold out. You may need to choose another showing."

What?

William Mario's expression changed.

What are you doing?
How could this movie be such a bestseller?

It's only been on sale for a short time, and it's already sold out!
"Oh my god, I told you we should leave earlier."

Whispers arose from the crowd.

Most people have already left, but there are still some persistent individuals preparing to buy tickets for other sessions.

After all, The Dark Knight is currently very popular, and theaters throughout New York City have already filled up the screenings.

William Mario was furious.

He came all the way here, only to be turned away at the door.

Just before the movie was about to start, William Mario walked into the theater with a ticket he had managed to snag.

I happened to find someone selling it.

However, the $30 movie ticket still made him spit out his anger.

If you buy it normally, it will only cost $10.

This was more than double the price, but the thought of seeing the entire theater filled with people angrily beating the clown made him incredibly happy.

Thinking about it, it's worth it.

This kind of terrible movie doesn't deserve good results.

The reason why some items sell out is simply because of the support of anime fans.

Yes, that must be the case!
William Mario sat down, his obese body taking up the entire seat.

More and more audience members came in one after another.

And with that came the lights going out.

The entire screening room went dark for a moment, and then Nolan's signature logo appeared on the big screen.

Sofia looked around.

The screening room was completely full, demonstrating the level of support people had for the film, regardless of their mood.

She focused her attention on what was in front of her.

At this moment, the robbers on the screen are all wearing masks.

So much so that Sofia couldn't tell which one was Chan.

but.

In her opinion, Chan always had a special quality about her.

That captivating quality that draws people's attention is unique to him.

Just as they were staring intently at the past—

A man wearing a clown mask jumped off a moving car.

Is this Chan?
Wearing a dirty suit, he exuded an imposing aura simply by standing there.

Then, the masked man moved his feet little by little.

Unrestrained and flamboyant.

His shoulders twitched occasionally as he walked toward the person writhing on the ground.

That's the bank manager.

"I firmly believe that what doesn't kill you will eventually make you even weirder."

The sound stopped suddenly.

The image displayed on the large screen was Chen Yu's face, which was distorted into a split.

White paint covered his entire face.

The scarlet color above the corner of his mouth was extremely striking.

It's really him!

……

imperial capital.

It’s so cool!

Guan Lin could no longer control his emotions; he didn't know how to describe the movie "The Dark Knight."

To be precise, it was that they didn't know how to praise Chen Yu.

His heart was pounding.

Especially when watching a movie, the reactions of the people around him are the best indicator of his mood at that moment.

Chen Yu's Clown.

It not only instilled fear in Gotham City, but even in the movie theater, knowing it was an act, people couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

He is able to accurately find and attack everyone's psychological weaknesses.

Chen Yu's portrayal, in particular, brought the Joker's strategic brilliance to its fullest expression.

Guan Lin was already impatient.

His brain was already working at lightning speed; this time, he was going to write a rather brilliant film review for Chen Yu.

It has to be said that this time, Chen Yu's performance as the Joker truly showcased his exceptional acting skills.

Guan Lin and Xiao Mo left the cinema.

The crowd surged, and everyone was talking about tonight's "The Dark Knight".

They were already captivated by Chen Yu's acting skills. Guan Lin got into the car but didn't start it immediately; instead, he turned on his laptop.

Xiao Mo wasn't surprised; her boyfriend was just like that, and she'd gotten used to it after being with him for so long.

Especially after watching such a wonderful movie, he would definitely want to extract his own opinions as soon as possible.

Putting everything else aside, even Xiao Mo, who isn't particularly interested in superheroes, was shocked today.

She already knew that Chen Yu was a good actor.

This time, however, it gave her a different feeling.

In the past, Chen Yu mostly played upright characters.

In very rare cases, his superb acting skills still make it impossible for people to have any prejudice against him.

The Joker from The Dark Knight.

He's a complete bastard.

But the more this is the case, the more it highlights Chen Yu's unparalleled acting skills.

Especially when explaining why it's so serious.

Guan Lin, who was standing to the side, had already started typing on the keyboard, and was in a very excited mood at the moment.

"I think no one can underestimate the Joker, the villain in The Dark Knight."

"He is treacherous and cunning, has no bottom line, and has no dogma in his mind."

"He used the pretext of killing Batman to lead gangsters and recruited schizophrenic patients to kill at will."

"In reality, the Joker's true core is to constantly provoke Harvey Dent and Batman, the two embodiments of justice."

"His purpose was simple: to prove that the justice these people believed in was nothing more than a performance."

He believed that everyone was evil and there was absolutely no trust in anyone.

"He hopes the whole world will be plunged into darkness."

"As for Chen Yu, he focuses more on the emotional impact than on the visual effects of action films in the past."

"If I may be so bold, this is the deeper impact."

"Every move, every word."

"Successfully brought the classic villain Joker to the big screen."

"I think no matter how many years pass, Chen Yu's portrayal of the Joker will become a legend."

"Mad, perverted, abnormal."

"His personality was crazy and dark, yet he led everyone into a chaotic abyss."

"I believe that what doesn't kill you will only make you more bizarre."

"This sentence clearly illustrates the Joker's philosophy of life, and Chen Yu vividly portrays the contradiction between good and evil."

"I believe it! This will absolutely be the best comic book and superhero movie of all time, bar none!!!"

Guan Lin's hands trembled unconsciously.

It must be said that Chen Yu's performance this time excited him beyond measure, to the point that his comments were even more outrageous than those of previous film reviews.

Click Send.

Guan Lin took a deep breath before closing his laptop.

"I am absolutely certain that this film will bring Chen Yu to a new peak."

Bruce Lee was already at his peak, but I never expected... Chen Yu could break through that level!
This is simply not human!

Even though they are already on the world stage.

Chen Yu, however, did not stop there. In Guan Lin's view, this time the clown would drive the whole world crazy.

"I am delighted to witness the birth of another classic character."

Xiao Mo tilted her head and looked over.

For her, Chen Yu's achievements were far less than this.

the other side.

Roger Ebert, also in New York but in a different movie theater, is staring at the big screen in front of him.

A faint smile was on his face.

As a highly influential film critic, his influence extends far beyond the film criticism field.

He won the Pulitzer Prize for Criticism in 1975.

It is fair to say that Roger Ebert was an exceptional film communicator.

As for now.

He was completely captivated by the clown on screen.

He had already heard of Chen Yu, a renowned actor both at home and abroad, whose outstanding works are countless.

Chan!

He is already a world-class superstar.

He didn't know how to describe how he felt this time.

Even if one is unkempt, even if one is bloodthirsty.

But he could sense that Chan was giving off a different feeling.

especially--

When he single-handedly turned the entire police station into chaos.

His face wore a strange and insane smile.

The scarlet lipstick above his mouth split open to both sides, and his expression was one of utter contempt.

It has to be said that this scene is absolutely nightmare-inducing.

No one can watch this clip calmly.

Chan wasn't playing the Joker.

Instead, he smashed his flesh and blood, completely merging with the clown.

He perfectly captured the charm of the Joker.

His purity, his power to disregard the rules, and most importantly, his successful corruption of Harvey.

In particular, it violated their common sense and rules of life.

I will do whatever I want to break the rules and regulations of this city.

As for William Mario...

He certainly didn't have Roger Albert's expertise.

Sitting in his seat at the movie theater, the sweet popcorn in his hand could no longer attract his attention.

He was completely obsessed.

It has to be said that Chan's portrayal of the Joker was really cool.

As someone who is familiar with superheroes, he naturally has his own unique insights into the Joker.

As for now.

He actually felt that this Chinese man, whom he had previously despised, had a bit of a clown-like presence to him.

That's right.

Chan portrayed the clown character, who was cunning and treacherous yet also shrewd and calculating, quite well.

You simply can't connect this weirdo on the big screen with that yellow-skinned Chinese actor, unless you're disgusted with yourself and desperately trying to make it work.

Once you're immersed in the movie, you won't think about anything else.

This character seems to have completely merged with the comic book.

He seemed to be acting out of character, not following the established path.

Instead, it's the series of suspenseful moments that completely draw the audience in.

Roger Albert was practically clapping his hands in approval.

He seemed to have sensed Nolan's subconscious.

They had clearly placed all their bets on this 20-something-year-old Chinese boy.

Have to admit.

Nolan made the right bet; Roger Ebert believes that the most memorable character in The Dark Knight might be the Joker.

People have long been used to the fact that good will always triumph over evil.

But after watching today's movie, even before it ended, they had already made up their minds.

Bale's Batman is an extremely accurate recreation.

only--

Both Roger Ebert and William Mario had a misconception.

It seems there's absolutely no way to compare with that evil clown.

This is crazy!

William Mario struggled to regain his senses.

Before this, he was a huge fan of Batman.

Regardless of who the opponent is, he hopes that Batman can achieve the final victory.

Today, as if stripped of his consciousness, he has somehow reached a consensus with the Joker.

First time.

He felt that the plot involving Batman's introduction was a bit verbose.

I even couldn't help but want to fast forward.

Oh my god.

This made him feel somewhat dangerous, considering he had come to condemn this Chinese clown.

But now——

This bizarre madman has completely severed his mind!

William Mario... completely broke down! (End of Chapter)
