Full-time actor

The plot continues.

Cheers erupted from time to time, clearly indicating that everyone was completely immersed in the story.

Roger Ebert also acknowledged the young man's acting skills.

In his opinion, Chen Yu is definitely one of the best actors with real talent in recent years.

Whether it's the previous "Bruce Lee" or this "The Dark Knight," it's truly remarkable that they can achieve such a level of quality.

No wonder he was able to establish himself in Hollywood in just a few years.

He's even starting to look forward to how the Oscars will rate the Joker character next year.
This simply prevented him from having any further thought.

His gaze remained fixed on the large screen in front of him, completely absorbed in Chen Yu's acting.

In fact.

Not only Roger Albert, but everyone else present felt the same way.

Whether it's Sofia or William Mario.

They all agreed that Chen Yu's villainous clown was quite charismatic.

To be precise, Chen Yu's portrayal of the clown completely evoked a sense of empathy in the audience.

It must be said that this play is simply a stroke of genius.

Nolan made the right choice.

The Joker is clearly more popular than the other characters.

In the final shot of the film, Chen Yu perfectly captured the Joker's fearlessness in the face of death.

"Cool!"

Cheers erupted from the cinema.

The next second, thunderous applause erupted throughout the screening room.

"It's so captivating, you can't take your eyes off it."

"As expected, Chan always manages to give us unexpected surprises."

Roger Albert snapped out of his daze amidst the constant praise.

He was then shocked to realize that such a perfect movie had come to an end.

Can be imagined.

What follows will be a grand feast for Chen Yu!
……

imperial capital.

Despite making thorough preparations, Chen Yu still suffered from insomnia.

The film "The Dark Knight" held a different meaning for him, and he faced ridicule from many people in the early stages of casting.

As a Chinese person, I want to play the villain Joker in a superhero movie.

It should be noted that this caused quite a stir at the time.

For this reason, Chen Yu had to put in more effort to master this role than he had for his previous roles.

He performed to the best in almost every scene.

The fundamental reason is not just to prove ourselves, but also to let everyone witness the strength of China.

I got out of bed with panda eyes.

Logically speaking, Yang Lu should be the most well-informed person on a regular basis.

Basically, any slightest movement will be reported immediately.

But today.

So far, we have not received any news.

Jingle Bell--

Just then, my phone rang.

Chen Yu subconsciously glanced at the contact name on his phone and then noticed that it was Nolan.

Is it joy or sorrow?

I suppose I've already made my judgment.

The global premiere took place early this morning, and news should have already been released.

Actually.

The influence of the previous "Dark Knight" was equally profound.

It has achieved great success in both business and reputation.

The death of Heath Ledger, in particular, gave the film "The Dark Knight" a kind of immunity from punishment.

It has long since broken through the conventional understanding of superhero movies.

and so.

Chen Yu was able to know the success of this film from the very beginning.

Moreover, it has even reached the top ten in global film history on major film review websites around the world.

Hey! Dear Chan.

"I hope I haven't bothered you?"

Nolan sounded like he was in a good mood, so the fermentation in the early morning must have been quite good.

"I think our initial betting was correct."

"Although the risks are great, your strength has already been demonstrated to the world."

"You are absolutely a charismatic clown!"

Nolan's voice is quite high-pitched.

Chen Yu did not respond, while the former continued discussing the matter on his own.

"Maybe it could be an Oscar contender."

Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh and cry. Only a few hours had passed since the global premiere, and Nolan was already having such thoughts just from seeing these results.

"Then I really have to take your good wishes."

Chen Yu shrugged.

I didn't have much emotion about that statement.

Heath Ledger won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his phenomenal performance.

Thinking back on this life, it must have been quite good.

Nolan continued rambling on, as he believed the matter was a done deal.

After all, the pre-sale box office in North America alone has reached $1.55 million.

After fermenting overnight, it will reach an even higher level.

"In addition, Roger Ebert also wrote a film review."

"You know, he's quite authoritative."

Oh?
This piqued his curiosity, as he was eager to see what Roger Albert would say about the role.

The two exchanged some more pleasantries.

Nolan knew that Chen Yu was very busy right now, so he naturally couldn't disturb him too much.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yu opened a webpage.

"It's an honor to witness the rise of a comic book movie."

"Similarly, a classic character that will go down in history appeared on the big screen."

"clown!"

"In my opinion, the Joker is not a simple villain. He is clearly a catalyst for challenging justice, bringing the purest evil and chaotic philosophy to break all the rules."

"The one who surprised me the most was Chan!"

"He has long transcended the dominance of comics, giving me the feeling that the Joker, the supervillain who terrifies Gotham City, is truly right before my eyes."

"Especially when delving into the character's twisted mind, Chan's use of detail to create a sense of horror and realism is simply applause-worthy."

"He can evoke profound emotional and intellectual resonance, especially the moral dilemmas created by the Joker. Even when he is eventually defeated, he still brings the champion of justice down from his pedestal."

"In my opinion, he is absolutely a genius."

"He brought color to this summer and showed everyone a charismatic villain."

"In other words, he is not just a villain, but rather he has made the Joker an eternal spirit."

"This makes me wonder, what exactly is the Joker's motivation for evil?"

This made Chen Yu feel somewhat flattered.

It's worth noting that this most influential film critic was known for his sharp and incisive commentary in the past.

With his unique perspective, his discussions on film are insightful and to the point.

In later generations, President Obama even gave him high praise when he mourned him.

This is a film critic who can influence global box office numbers, has over 2000 million followers online, and has won the Prinz Award, the Nobel Prize of journalism.

Its status is, of course, beyond question.

"Roger Ebert is synonymous with film."

This is absolutely the highest praise, and it also sets the tone for his work.

Yet, this very person, while publishing film reviews, spends 60% of his time praising Chen Yu.

To be precise, probably no one else would have such an honor.

"Looks like we're going to be winning awards left and right next year." Chen Yu turned around, and Zhang Yimou was already standing behind him.

This situation is not something Zhang Yimou made up out of thin air.

The Dark Knight is currently a hot topic online. Whether in North America or China, people all over the world are probably enthusiastically following Chen Yu's Joker.

So much so that, in just one night...

Scores on major rating websites have already surpassed previous years' levels.

Chen Yu!

It has long been well-deserved.

In Zhang Yimou's view, "Bruce Lee" may have been a stepping stone, but "The Dark Knight" completely established Chen Yu's status.

He proved himself with his abilities.

As a result, the entire internet is now going crazy for this character.

He had just started following the news online, and the quality of both film reviews and news articles was unmatched by most.

Chen Yu smiled.

I then clicked on the ratings and reviews on various websites.

"The script is indeed excellent, the director is even more outstanding, and as for Yu Ge's acting skills, one has to say they are absolutely amazing!"

"Absolutely a masterpiece! So good that I don't want to waste a single second of it."

"Nolan's narrative ability lies not only in the structure, but also in the unique theme he always presents."

"Chan is amazing. He managed to film the Joker to such an extent, creating an image that is too perfect."

"I don't think anyone will dare to take on the role of the Joker again, including Chen Yu himself."

"Chen Yu's expression when he asked 'Why so serious?' was spot on, perfectly conveying the darkness and contradictions."

It received overwhelmingly positive reviews online!

Chen Yu was even getting a little tired of watching it, and almost all the praise was for his acting skills and Nolan's direction.

The entire organizing committee is paying close attention.

A large number of people are frustrated because they cannot support the film. Many of Chen Yu's fans are even more impatient as they browse online comments.

but--

They can sense information online.

This work is naturally of a very high standard, after all, it has received praise from the entire internet, which proves that its strength is extraordinary.

North America at this moment.

The sky was turning a pale white, and after a night of fermentation, entertainment news on all major media outlets was now about "The Dark Knight".

The people who once strongly opposed Chen Yu.

They had already lowered their noble heads.

They began to reflect on their previous remarks, and before even seeing the truth, they showed Chen Yu incredibly strong malice.

Overnight.

The entire internet is full of praise.

As for William Mario, under pressure from numerous netizens, he finally had to film a video reflecting on the film.

The previous disdain and resistance have long since vanished.

William Mario changed his tune so quickly that he even came to approve of this Chinese clown.

wrong!

It wasn't that he sought approval, but rather that this Chinese clown had won him over.

Hi, dear friends.

"I think you've been waiting for a long time. After a night of consideration, I've finally decided to release this video."

"I don't think the clowns of China are as bad as we say."

"This is completely contrary to my original intention."

"However, I cannot deny anyone's efforts because of my own contradictions."

"That's right! That evil villain."

"The clown from China, he truly brought the character to life."

"That's so cool!"

"I can't find anyone more suitable than him."

"Especially that line, 'why so serious?' It's a stroke of genius."

"It makes one think deeply!"

"I have overturned all my previous statements. This clown from China is simply an actor who surpasses the world."

The video ends abruptly.

Clearly, the fact that even a hater like William Mario could have such an attitude is a testament to Chen Yu's acting skills.

William Mario was somewhat apprehensive.

Looking back at my previous videos now, I feel like slapping my own fat face.

Oh shit, why didn't he submit to this powerful actor sooner?

What he needs to do now is to catch up on this Chinese clown's previous works.

He was really good at pretending before.

At this point, "The Dark Knight" had become a focus of global attention.

Whether it's its producers and distributors, Nolan, or the various celebrities.

They are all waiting to see how high this film might go.

To be precise, they are looking forward to weekend box office results.

Even with the current status that "The Dark Knight" has achieved, no one is complacent.

This is especially true for Nolan.

He didn't stop promoting the product later on; in fact, he increased his investment.

After all, the impact that "The Dark Knight" movie could have on them is self-evident.

This time, the Oscars are definitely in the bag.

Next, we'll probably need to focus all our efforts on public relations, which will allow us to have in-depth exchanges with Chen Yu.

A million-dollar public relations fee may well become a stepping stone.

Yu Xin Pictures.

Liu Yifei had just finished her work.

She has recently devoted herself entirely to the preliminary preparations for "Aftershock".

Despite her busy schedule, she did not forget that today was the world premiere of "The Dark Knight".

Liu Yifei took her phone out of the drawer and then dialed that familiar number.

The phone rang only once before Chen Yu's voice came from the other end.

"Congratulations, honey! It looks like your dream will come true this year."

Liu Yifei's words reminded Chen Yu.

They could not forget the promise they made to each other.

Oscars?
Perhaps it's just around the corner!

"I've already asked Yang Lu to book the entire theater."

"I'm taking my mom and aunt to support The Dark Knight later."

Liu Yifei's voice came through the phone intermittently.

Even just communicating by phone, the two of them could still experience a brief moment of happiness.

Several days have passed since they last met.

It would be a lie to say I don't miss them.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Liu Yifei was talking non-stop when she heard Chen Yu's question, and she stopped abruptly.

"Ah."

Actually.

Liu Yifei suffers from insomnia every day without Chen Yu by her side.

However, adhering to the principle of reporting good news and not bad news, it was natural not to cause Chen Yu unnecessary trouble.

"Hold on for a few more days, and you can come back to me."

"I'll show you the results of my work when the time comes, and you'll be amazed."

Chen Yu was well aware that all the burdens had fallen on Liu Yifei's shoulders during his absence.

His wife never complained.

He handled every detail, big or small, of the "Tangshan Earthquake" incident.

As for Liu Yifei—

Everything is ready; next, she's going to the movie theater to see her husband in person! (End of Chapter)
