Full-time actor

Nolan has been having some headaches lately.

During these past few days of promotional activities, I've been asked about it almost every day.

Where did the Joker go?

Actually.

Chen Yu released videos on various platforms when it premiered globally.

The reason I couldn't attend was simply because I was tied up with work.

Clearly, people cannot accept his excuse of being too busy with work, and some have even started conspiracy theories.

The internet is flooded with speculation about the reasons behind it.

Racial discrimination? Malicious blacklisting?
Things have clearly reached an irreversible point, and if this continues, it will obviously affect the box office of "The Dark Knight".

After all, if Chen Yu doesn't step in, some people have already started threatening to refuse to enter the cinema.

The problem is that Chen Yu did indeed have work requirements.

His inability to show up was a foregone conclusion from the very beginning.

Especially now that the film's box office is booming, his involvement will definitely boost the box office even further.

There are various signs.

This year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor undoubtedly belongs to Chen Yu.

Thanks to his acting skills, the Joker has become one of the most classic roles in recent years.

Many people automatically picture the Joker when they hear the name.

This is only for now; as time goes on, this classic will become even more profound.

Other characters, even Forrest Gump in "Forrest Gump," took many years of experience to become classics.

But... Chen Yu didn't even arrive for half a month.

This fusion of the Joker's charm and Chen Yu's acting skills has led to the Joker's current global dominance.

Now, let's see how the Oscar judges and the company handle this matter.

Just as everyone was making a big fuss, a film review titled "[The Evil Joker: Using a crazy and exaggerated performance style to grab attention]" appeared on the IMDb homepage.

The director's prominent label, in particular, caused a huge uproar online for this film review.

Roman Polanski.

This person, who once won the Academy Award for Best Director for "The Pianist," openly expressed his opinion on the homepage of "The Dark Knight."

"Excuse my bluntness, but while the entire internet is praising and extolling this clown, what I see is a chaotic performance."

"First of all, I have no hostility towards Chan."

"I'm just evaluating this role from my professional perspective and offering some suggestions for his future performances."

"In my opinion, Chan really plays a madman, a madman who puts madness on the surface."

"He uses his illogical movements and manic shouts to portray the clown's evil and cruelty."

"True chaos should be random and without reason."

"The highest level of terror that the Joker can bring is that sudden chill that comes over you the moment you get home after watching the movie."

"That kind of evil that seeps into the bones should have control over it, not be like an out-of-control fool."

"The Joker's madness was portrayed too overtly, blatantly trying to please the audience."

"Of course, I can't deny Chan's efforts."

"But with performances like this, the audience can no longer tell whether they are good or bad."

"I have to speak my mind."

"This is my fundamental principle as a director!"

This has caused a huge stir, and everyone is now extremely fond of Chen Yu.

Furthermore, it is quite outrageous for a well-known director to openly criticize another actor in a film review.

So much so that this film review appeared on the Dark Knight's homepage.

It quickly became a trending topic.

This is definitely a case of ugly people causing trouble, or perhaps it's just their pathetic sense of self-esteem at play.

Otherwise, why would he say something so ambiguous when everyone is praising him?

It was supposed to be a suggestion.

In fact, the entire text is derogatory.

"To say something like that, you probably haven't even watched a movie."

"Oh shit, stop judging today's comic book adaptations by your 70s acting standards. Art itself is diverse."

"The Joker's madness can also be terrifying. This is not an exaggeration; he is simply trying to break free from the shackles of society."

"As a director, your film reviews are completely substandard."

There is no doubt that everyone loves The Dark Knight right now, which means that any negative comments will be seen as slander against The Dark Knight.

Immediately, major media outlets rushed to report on this matter.

Most people believe that Roman Polanski is just trying to attract attention.

He may want to use this incident to increase his popularity.

In their view, being despised by thousands is also a level of being rejected.

However, his rash remarks have truly ignited the anger of "The Dark Knight" fans.

As a result, major social media platforms have been bombarded with criticism.

The news headlines began to change constantly.

As for Roman Polanski, he was fortunate enough to be ranked alongside "The Dark Knight" on the trending topics list.

Roman Polanski's critique: The Joker's acting in "The Dark Knight" is overly exaggerated.

[Polanski vs. Nolan! Did classic directors truly understand modernist masterpieces?]

[DC fans are outraged! Roman Polanski questions Chan's performance?]

True evil should be silent; Roman Polanski fires a shot at the Dark Knight and Chan.

This matter has caused quite a stir.

The issue has sparked controversy and differing opinions across the internet.

However, most people defended Chen Yu and The Dark Knight.

As the incident unfolded, Nolan had already taken notice of the problem.

However, he doesn't have the time or inclination to pay attention to others right now.

Chen Yu did not appear for a long time.

As a result, opinions across the internet are growing stronger.

He knew that Chen Yu had no chance to leave, so it seemed that it was time to think of a way, even if it was just to let Chen Yu appear online or give an interview.

Of course, these are things to follow.

To date, The Dark Knight has become a global phenomenon.

His nomination for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor has long been something everyone has been looking forward to.

As for what comes next—

Perhaps it's time to do something for Chen Yu.

Barry Manye, the head of Warner Bros., was sitting in his top-floor office, watching the recent buzz surrounding "The Dark Knight" with obvious satisfaction.

Even though there were some minor setbacks along the way, it did not affect the screening of "The Dark Knight" at all.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Chris? Aren't you busy right now?"

Nolan is currently leading the team behind The Dark Knight on a tour of various cities.

So much so that receiving a call from Nolan at this time was indeed somewhat unbelievable.

"Barry, have you noticed what's been happening online lately?"

"Everyone is eagerly waiting to see this god-like Chinese clown."

Nolan's voice came through the phone, which made Barry Manyer subconsciously think about the meaning behind his words.

of course.

During this period, I've seen news headlines like this every day.

In fact, he was also looking forward to Chan's appearance.

After all, this is Warner's cash cow.

Good actors are emerging in large numbers, and their influence is far-reaching.

However, this was the first time Barry Manye had encountered such a strong competitor.

"I was thinking, could we do some PR for him to win the Best Supporting Actor Oscar this year?"

To know.

For them, cooperating with Chen Yu was absolutely a win-win situation.

Furthermore, the online environment is currently experiencing such significant fluctuations.

If we can persuade Chen Yu to come out of seclusion, we can naturally stabilize the current situation.

"Oscar for Best Supporting Actor?" "Nolan, are you kidding me?"

Barry Manyer's words surprised Nolan.

To be precise, given Chen Yu's current level of expertise, he only needs a little bit of public relations to secure a prize.

"Isn't this what Chan deserves?"

"We at Warner will definitely do everything we can to help him with public relations, otherwise we'll become a laughing stock."

Nolan shrugged.

It seems that Barry Manyer had made ample preparations for this from the very beginning.

indeed.

Given Chen Yu's influence, Warner Music will definitely show their utmost sincerity.

After all, this great Buddha statue must be protected as much as possible.

Within days, The Dark Knight had topped the charts in various countries around the world.

The film grossed a total of $6 million worldwide.

6 billion!
It's important to know that this is only the global box office for the first week, and the box office figures are still being updated.

As for The Dark Knight.

It is undoubtedly number one!

Media outlets around the world are vying to report on this matter.

To be precise, the success of "The Dark Knight" is a direct slap in the face to Roman Polanski's previous slander against Chen Yu.

Whether it's the single-day box office record or the size of the theaters showing the film?
Or perhaps it's the speed at which it breaks 100 million.

This film is proving its quality and reputation through its own efforts.

Chen Yu, in particular, has made his clown a phenomenon.

In addition, Warner Bros. planned and Nolan promoted the project, and the iMax version was widely distributed.

These factors combined laid the foundation for The Dark Knight's box office miracle.

North American media outlets have already begun reporting on this.

Breaking the record set by Spider-Man 3, The Dark Knight reached $6 million in the shortest time, becoming the new box office king.

[With its opening weekend grossing over $5 million worldwide, The Dark Knight has completely rewritten film history.]

[The Dark Knight: From midnight screenings to its opening weekend, a global box office conquest!]

History has been made! The Dark Knight dominated box office history in its opening weekend.

Aside from North America, the popularity of "The Dark Knight" has completely taken over other countries.

The Joker's fan base is growing.

They believe that The Dark Knight's total box office may surpass its predecessor.

Whether it can be done or not depends entirely on Chan's Joker.

With this in mind, everyone even began to feel a sense of anticipation.

Nolan, in particular, probably already had a good idea of ​​the bright future of The Dark Knight.

If Chen Yu were to promote the film with Nolan and the rest of the creative team, it would likely elevate the event to a much higher level.

They are now working towards the same goal.

As for the conditions for ranking, they have fully met them.

……

imperial capital.

The Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games.

Chen Yu noticed the recent trending topics. With the opening of the Olympics drawing ever closer, his top priority was naturally to avoid being distracted.

He was naturally happy that "The Dark Knight" had achieved such great success.

It's clear that the opening weekend box office performance was significantly higher than the previous one.

In Chen Yu's view, the reason why "The Dark Knight" achieved such a high level of box office success in his previous life was partly due to Heath Ledger's unexpected death.

This is not a simple commercial hype.

Heath Ledger's sudden passing left audiences with a sense of regret and scrutiny as they entered theaters.

I witnessed his ultimate performance of burning his life.

That tragic quality, almost a swan song, propelled him to a new level.

This is not to say that the film itself is of poor quality.

In fact, Heath Ledger's death acted as a powerful catalyst.

This work, which could have become a classic, was directly elevated to mythical status.

As for this life.

No one died suddenly; the phenomenal success of "The Dark Knight" was entirely due to Nolan's brilliant direction, the excellence of the script itself, and his perfect mastery of the Joker.

The main reason is that the popularity of Chinese actors playing the Joker surpasses that of Heath Ledger's death in his previous life.

The fact that a Chinese actor is playing one of the most popular anti-heroes in North America is itself a huge topic of discussion.

Jingle Bell--

The urgent ringing interrupted Chen Yu's thoughts. He subconsciously snapped back to reality and noticed the note flashing on his phone.

It's Nolan.

Chen Yu was not surprised at all when he called.

Hey! Chan.

"I think you should take a look at the mess online right now."

"Because of your seclusion, the entire internet is now searching for the Joker."

Upon hearing Nolan's words, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

As for the former, he continued to chatter on and on, and then said, "These past few days, when I went to participate in the promotion, the question I was asked most often was when the Joker would appear."

Chen Yu had naturally noticed the recent news online, but unfortunately he was too busy to deal with it.

Even though he really wanted to participate in the promotion of "The Dark Knight".

only.

Things have priorities.

When faced with matters of national importance, he naturally cannot only focus on his own selfish interests.

"OK, now is not the time to complain about you."

"I called specifically to tell you that Warner Bros. will fully support you this awards season."

Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

In reality, they probably don't have any other awards to win besides this one.

Chen Yu was truly outstanding.

It's so powerful that it's impossible to ignore.

Chen Yu naturally believed Nolan's words without a doubt.

It's worth noting that Heath Ledger, even after his death, still received the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in his previous life.

To be precise, even without Warner's full support, there would still be no surprises in this life.

but.

Getting Warner's PR support will definitely speed things up.

It's obvious that what they need to do next is to run around doing all sorts of announcements and schedules.

This situation will likely only be addressed after Chen Yu attends the opening ceremony of the Olympics.

Nolan was very satisfied with the box office performance of The Dark Knight.

He will naturally do his best to handle the situation that follows.

As for Chen Yu...

He is now certain of one thing.

The box office performance of "The Dark Knight" will surely surpass that of the previous film.

Besides that, there's the Oscars.

Since Nolan has already given him a shot in the arm.

That proves that what follows will naturally fall into place.

The chances of him winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor are definitely over 90%.

"Let's wait and see what happens next!"

"I will record a video to answer the questions from Joker fans around the world, and I hope they can understand!"

After thinking about it, Chen Yu felt it was necessary to record a video to address his absence from the promotion of his Joker character during this period.

I believe people around the world will understand the situation regarding the Olympics.

Compared to the marketing campaign for "The Dark Knight," the Olympics are clearly far more important, especially since... this is the first Olympic Games ever held in China, making its historical significance even more extraordinary! (End of Chapter)
