North America is completely in an uproar!

The midnight release broke records, grossing a whopping $1848 million, even surpassing the previous record held by Star Wars for five years.

Around the world, it is showing an unparalleled state.

Whether in Japan, South Korea, or China, it has broken box office records in various regions with an unstoppable momentum.

For a time, The Dark Knight became an existence that no one could look up to.

The future is destined to be anything but peaceful for both North America and China.

To be precise, the creation of The Dark Knight drew the attention of countless eyes around the world.

They witnessed Chen Yu's strength once again.

Knowing full well that Nolan had made the right bet, he defied public opinion and entrusted him with the role of the Joker.

Clearly, Chen Yu had given him a more than perfect answer.

His clown charm captivated audiences worldwide.

Comments on various platforms have already shown a trend.

Anyone who has watched "The Dark Knight" will go to rating apps to praise it, creating such a buzz that even many netizens who don't like rating films will give it a perfect score.

Moreover, The Dark Knight has a rating of 9.9 on IMDb!
9.9!

It surpassed "The Godfather's" 9.5 rating and became the number one film on the site.

Although, this is only temporary.

But the fact that it received almost no negative reviews still shocked countless viewers across the internet!

Everyone was already impressed by this achievement.

"Chen Yu is simply a madman; his plays are always so authoritative."

"Brother Yu is awesome, I'm ready to watch it again."

"God, who else would spoil us like this after Yu-ge?"

"Wishing our Yu-ge all the best in his Oscar bid!"

"It's time to make my dream come true!"

"It's just not right for the Joker not to get an Oscar!"

"..."

Netizens were discussing it animatedly, their enthusiasm completely ignited.

In their view, Chen Yu's acting skills were already superb.

Even a superstar like Bale, with his proven talent, made the plot seem long and drawn out when he appeared.

If they weren't in a movie theater, they would have fast-forwarded.

After all, the Joker's character is incredibly compelling.

Everyone is paying attention to every little thing happening online, and they've even seen Roger Ebert's evaluation of Chen Yu.

You should know that film critics are at the very top of the pyramid.

Roger Ebert had never praised anyone so sincerely.

But Chen Yu did it.

This even led Roger Albert to openly favor him.

All of this is thanks to Nolan's reasoned arguments. Everyone witnessed the pressure he faced at the time, with almost everyone criticizing him for ruining superheroes.

A Chinese clown has directly torn away the fig leaf covering up North America.

Chen Yu is present from the beginning to the end of the film.

From beginning to end, he was subtly controlling everyone's attention, driving all the viewers and fans crazy.

It must be said that Chen Yu achieved a good result.

In a time of extreme xenophobia in Hollywood and North America, he proved the worth of Chinese filmmakers with films like "Bruce Lee" and "The Dark Knight."

the next day.

The world is reporting on "The Dark Knight," and no one wants to miss this hot topic. There's no need for extra promotion; the internet is flooded with reports about "The Dark Knight."

In addition, some celebrities went to the cinema to show their support.

The capital cities of various countries have spontaneously launched publicity campaigns.

In just one day, it sparked a global movie-watching frenzy.

This is not only due to the appeal of the script, but also to the hard work of Nolan and Chen Yu behind the scenes.

Of course, Chen Yu's influence was the key factor.

Jingle Bell--

Chen Yu had just finished rehearsing and was already used to the daily repetition.

So much so that now I'm even more adept at it.

For him, this would also be an honor.

The song "Descendants of the Dragon," both in its lyrics and its performance, has been completely imprinted in his heart.

Chen Yu picked up the phone and answered it.

"Surprise."

Nolan's excited voice came through the phone. The two had been in close contact for the past two days, and besides informing each other about recent promotional activities, most of the time it was to let Chen Yu know about the current performance of "The Dark Knight".

You'll be surprised when I tell you!

"The Dark Knight has created an unprecedented box office miracle."

Chen Yu listened quietly.

He hadn't even had a chance to check the opening day box office.

However, we still have some understanding of box office records.

"tell me the story."

Nolan did not hesitate at all in response to Chen Yu's reply.

"The Dark Knight grossed $6640 million on its opening day, surpassing Spider-Man 3!"

"That arrogant Spider-Man 3 from not long ago!"

"We've achieved the first superhero title!"

It's pretty much the same as my previous life.

It's worth noting that Spider-Man 3 had already grossed $9 million worldwide at the time.

It completely dominated the box office peak of superhero movies.

Nolan's highest-grossing film is "Batman Begins," which didn't even reach $500 million worldwide at the time.

But this one has actually made history?

How could this not excite and thrill Nolan?

Everyone knows that "The Dark Knight" was a hit, and the film's lead actor and director will be elevated to god-like status.

Spider-Man 3's opening day box office record of $5980 million was completely surpassed by The Dark Knight.

This is enough to prove the film's quality.

It's important to understand that Spider-Man 3 was already performing very strongly in its early stages of release.

Its influence is multifaceted.

It is obvious that The Dark Knight will achieve even greater success in the future.

Countless eyes are fixed on this movie.

The works they tried so hard to promote were easily crushed by Chen Yu and Nolan.

Putting everything else aside, the $6640 million figure may not seem impressive in later generations, but this was 2008.

In terms of both achievement and quality, it far surpasses other films.

"The first weekend ahead will definitely break records by a large margin."

"I'm really looking forward to the results."

Nolan is concerned about what kind of success The Dark Knight can achieve.
Such overwhelmingly positive reviews have already laid the foundation for the film's success.

Next.

That will be the moment to witness a tremendous miracle.

Not only in North America, but also in China, their achievements are remarkable.

With a first-day gross of 2.3 million, it rivals North America in every way!

For a time, The Dark Knight was incredibly popular.

Currently, film critics, authoritative media, film fans, and audiences alike are all deeply impressed.

So much so.

I started to get curious about the news about "The Dark Knight" online.

The topic has generated tremendous buzz, with some even speculating about the upcoming box office performance.

Chen Yu was not overly curious about these things.

As a reborn individual, he knew the success of every blockbuster work.

It's obvious that these are not the things he cares about.

In his view, the most important thing was to open up the market and prove to the world that their xenophobia had always been foolish.

The two hung up the phone.

Chen Yu was clearly in a good mood, just as Liu Yifei had said yesterday; perhaps they could finally realize their dream.

However, the internet is already buzzing with discussion, and the widespread praise has sparked discontent among some netizens.

Aside from a few netizens and comic book fans who haven't watched it, the first to be affected are the fans of "The Godfather".

Since its premiere, The Dark Knight's rating on IMDb has been steadily rising.

Its score of 9.9 completely outclassed many other works.

The Godfather, which has consistently held the top spot for years, has now been elevated to a divine status, a situation that its fans naturally find difficult to accept.

So much so.

Some bizarre tactics have started appearing online.

In an effort to maintain its ranking, fans of "The Godfather" began attacking "The Dark Knight".

After a day of fermentation, the high rating of 9.9 has dropped to 9.5.

In this war, "The Godfather" also didn't fare well.

Since its release, it has maintained a score of 9.5. However, in its battle with "The Dark Knight", the probability of it being given one-star reviews has increased sharply, to the point that it can now barely reach a score of 9.0.

It's worth noting that very few movies on IMDb have a score above 9.0.

If the conflict between the two sides continues, it might directly affect "The Godfather".

"Everyone keep scrolling. I'd really like to see if people are talking about Michael Creon or the Joker 50 years from now?"

"What do you think? We admire family and power more than a near-mad clown."

"It's normal for fans to boost the score. Don't forget that the score for 'The Godfather' was given by professionals."

"What era are we living in? Why are we still creating this kind of antagonism?"

"We do not deny the historical significance of The Godfather, but the influence of The Dark Knight is equally undeniable."

"Film art is constantly evolving. If you're going to be as conservative as you are, I think you should stick to black and white silent films."

Fans from both sides engaged in a fierce online battle.

Negative reviews are plentiful.

As a result, the ratings for the two films have begun to fluctuate.

Amid this battle, there are still some rational people who are looking forward to the opening weekend box office performance of "The Dark Knight".

Putting everything else aside, Chen Yu's Joker has become a phenomenal, wildly popular character.

Why so serious？

It has even become a common saying among the general public.

Excessive publicity has even caused some of the original manga fans to turn against the original.

Their fervent belief did not succeed.

Instead, he was completely influenced by Chen Yu.

Joker standees and posters appeared everywhere, especially after the release of this movie, which even spurred a series of related merchandise.

Nolan was naturally pleased to see this outcome.

The more this is the case, the more it proves the success of their film.

The headlines of authoritative media reports are even more varied and creative.

[Shocking! The Dark Knight sets a new box office record for a single day.]

Chan's legendary performance was a major reason for the phenomenal box office success.

Records were broken all over the world; the Joker's magic has finally swept the globe.

The Dark Knight has completely opened up the market, surpassing The Godfather to become number one on IMDb.

[Heal Chan, a Grand Slam Best Actor winner, creates classic roles with his talent!]

[Mr. The true king of acting in the East, can North America please put away your arrogance?]

Major authoritative media outlets have gone to great lengths to portray Chen Yu as a top contender.

To be precise, his influence has never been inferior to anyone else's.

Even Hollywood, the most difficult place for Chinese filmmakers to conquer, was still manipulated by him.

Whether it's the future profits or the achievements they can attain, Chen Yu and Nolan will reach an unparalleled peak.

only.

There is still a group of people who are praying that The Dark Knight will start strong but end weakly.

They couldn't believe that a comic book movie adaptation could achieve this kind of success.

But in the next two days, it was clear that those who were pessimistic were disappointed.

The Dark Knight completely hijacked the money of movie fans worldwide.

He proved with his actions that as long as one has solid skills, strong abilities, and a perfect subject matter, there will be no downward trend.

The scenario of a strong opening followed by a decline did not occur.

The high opening and subsequent rapid decline caught my eye.

This achievement immediately captured everyone's attention.

Every show was sold out; this was the first time in history that such a performance had ever been held.

Everyone is completely captivated by this movie, and its rating on IMDb has visibly increased by 0.1.

9.6 points!
The eyes of the masses are discerning.

People will naturally not be affected by maliciously leaving negative reviews.

Until Sunday.

The box office trend has finally shown a slight decline.

Clearly, such fluctuations were not enough to attract their attention.

The third day of its release.

The box office of 4399 million yuan silenced the boycotters.

The film grossed $1.66 million in its opening weekend.

In fact, the box office for midnight screenings had already shown a record-breaking trend.

And it could break $1 million at the earliest.

Not only did it break the relevant records, but it also opened on a large scale.

The film received high praise from the media and audiences, especially for its positive reception.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the rating remains perfect after three days, with a 94% positive review score.

The record-breaking opening weekend was also thanks to its simultaneous release in 4366 theaters across North America.

Sufficient screenings were necessary to achieve such great success.

This result has already caused some people to be filled with regret.

They have been completely contained, and this explosive box office performance has undoubtedly dropped a bomb in the current film industry that is enough to shock the world.

Especially Chen Yu's performance.

It dispelled many people's stereotypes.

It also changed Hollywood's perception and expectations of Chinese filmmakers.

This impact is absolutely profound.

In fact, Chen Yu is paving the way for those who come after him step by step with his own strength.

In particular, this time iMax film cameras were used extensively.

It allowed people to truly appreciate the quality of the film.

Seats are full.

The Dark Knight swept across the globe with unstoppable momentum.

Nolan and his team did not rest on their laurels despite the good results.

Their current hustle and bustle is a source of happiness for them.

Knowing the true success of the film, they will work even harder.

however--

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

As The Dark Knight gains popularity, some moviegoers have begun to grasp the key points.

Since its release, Nolan, along with Bale and other key members of the creative team, has been traveling to various locations.

Their promotional activities can be seen in almost every city.

but.

However, the entity that generated the buzz never actually appeared.

That's right, people are starting to form their own judgments about this matter.

Chinese movie fans naturally know the truth.

However, some people were still kept in the dark, and coincidentally, some people started to speculate about "The Dark Knight" based on this trend.

"Why? It's been almost a week, why hasn't the Joker shown up yet?"

"I want to see the Joker! He's the real protagonist, isn't he?"

"Where is Chan? Why have I never seen him participate in any promotional activities?"

"Hey! Although we were a bit skeptical of the Chinese filmmaker who played the Joker before, he has now proven himself. Please let him participate in the promotion in North America as soon as possible."

"Oh my god! If we don't see the Joker, what's the point of this movie?"

In an instant, undercurrents surged online—(End of Chapter)
