Full-time actor

Warner.

The script for "Joker" has been distributed to many actors and artists who have projects with their company.

So far.

Aside from the main character being confirmed, the remaining roles are yet to be determined.

However, according to Barry Manye.

This script will definitely be in high demand, after all, Chen Yu has already laid a solid foundation.

The Joker has absolutely become a phenomenon.

It's clear that many people are now waiting to get a piece of this pie.

"Hey! Robert."

"I think you might be very interested in this script."

Robert De Niro's agent, Lisa Messonnet, walked into the office.

She was holding a thick stack of scripts in her hand.

His eyes held a deep interest.

What?

now.

An elderly man with gray hair was sitting on the sofa in the office.

He looked radiant.

This is Robert De Niro.

A film superstar who has long been renowned worldwide.

This award-winning legend in the film industry.

Throughout his career, he has won numerous prestigious awards.

Back in 1974, he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Godfather Part II.

In 1980, he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in "Raging Bull".

have to say.

Robert De Niro has an extremely wide range of acting abilities.

When it comes to acting, he possesses an almost obsessive dedication to research.

His representative works are so numerous that it would probably take three days and three nights to explain them all.

His well-known works, such as "Taxi Driver," "Casino," and "Heat," have established his status as a legendary acting master in Hollywood and even world film history.

"Lisa, I think I'm getting old."

"It's time to take a break."

Robert De Niro has just finished filming "Angel's Journey" and has no intention of taking on more work in the near future.

He's already 65 years old, so he doesn't need to work so hard anymore.

Thinking like this.

Robert De Niro shrugged, but still took the script from Lisa's hands.

He was curious about what kind of script could make Lisa so certain.

"It's a script sent from Warner, and there's something in it that you wouldn't expect."

"This script."

"It was not created internally by Warner."

Robert De Niro pushed up his glasses that were perched on his nose.

"This is indeed an extremely rare situation."

As he said this, Robert De Niro immediately opened the script in front of him.

""clown"?"

Seeing the question from the person in front of her, Lisa nodded.

"I knew you'd be interested."

That's right.

When The Dark Knight was released worldwide, Robert De Niro went to the cinema to support the film.

He was completely blown away by the acting skills of that Eastern clown.

Unfortunately.

I haven't found an opportunity to make friends with them.

Chen Yu.

He pondered the name; he had always greatly admired this kind of talent.

Just thinking about that Eastern clown's god-level acting skills makes him shudder.

Until he noticed the text at the bottom of the script.

"OMG? Chan is the screenwriter of this script?"

Robert De Niro then realized the meaning behind Lisa's words.

This is unbelievable.

after all--

While Warner Bros. does not reject external scripts, ultimately, some independent scripts are indeed difficult to get into Warner Bros.

What exactly is the charm of this Eastern clown?
It's amazing that Warner Bros. agreed.

At this moment, Robert De Niro was already eager to see what was in the script.

Lisa leaned against the desk.

He had already skimmed through the script before he arrived.

Precisely.

With her many years of work experience, this work is sure to be a huge hit.

Lisa did not disturb them.

Quietly awaiting Robert De Niro's appreciation.

"Absolutely outstanding!"

"It's just an R-rated movie?"

Lisa nodded; this was precisely the point of contention for them.

R-rated films mean they are only suitable for adult audiences.

Students are excluded, which will result in a significant loss of box office revenue for the film.

They will be bolder and more unrestrained, especially in their creative work.

It may face resistance at that time.

"But that's okay, I'm very interested in this script."

Have you revealed when the audition will be held?

the other side.

The whole of Hollywood already knew about it, and the other invited artists had long been looking forward to it.

Putting everything else aside, the achievements and box office success of The Dark Knight are unmatched by any other film to date.

Zazie Beetz has just finished a day's work.

At this moment, I was slumped on the table, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.

"Bates, do you know?"

"The Dark Knight is about to have a spin-off, Joker."

"That clown from the East, perhaps we will have the opportunity to work together."

Zazie Beetz was rubbing her head.

He looked up at them with a calm expression.

"Upon hearing this news, people have been receiving scripts for 'Joker' since yesterday."

It's worth noting that Chen Yu is now quite well-known in Hollywood.

He has appeared in several big-budget productions in a row.

Moreover, almost every movie he starred in or participated in achieved high box office returns.

It can be said.

Chen Yu single-handedly made Chinese-language films available in Hollywood.

Putting all that aside, as the youngest Grand Slam Best Actor winner, his resume is quite impressive.

Zazie Beetz greatly admires Chen Yu.

However, people of this caliber are beyond her comprehension.

Seeing that his manager, Bates, didn't show much emotion, he took out the script from behind him.

Obvious.

Zazie Beetz's eyes lit up with surprise for a moment.

To know.

As a relatively newcomer who has only been in the industry for a short time, her career is currently stagnant.

In her mind, there was naturally no chance of getting a script of this caliber.

Oh!

Is this real?

The manager in front of him nodded.

"However, you need to audition, and it's uncertain whether you'll get the part."

"But this is, after all, a very good opportunity for you."

This means acting opposite the hottest actor right now, and working with director Christopher Nolan.

Any point that is raised will be exciting.

All of a sudden.

The casting for "Joker" caused a sensation throughout Hollywood, and everyone was extremely interested in it.

With the Dark Knight already a huge hit, the creation of the Joker script clearly demonstrates its value.

I can't even imagine how exciting it would be to be able to participate in this movie.

As for domestic.

The box office record for "Black Coal, Thin Ice" has been continuously updated in recent days.

Diao Yinan was on the phone with Chen Yu at the moment. From her words, it was clear that she had already resigned herself to her fate.

The box office barely broke 1 million yuan in its opening weekend.

If this were any other art-house film, this achievement would be considered phenomenal.

Unfortunately.

It did not meet Diao Yinan's expectations.

Even though the recent publicity and roadshows have not stopped, they have not had any impact on the box office.

"This result is actually quite good."

"It's just that I've dragged you down a bit, causing you to be criticized by reporters from all over the internet for so many days."

That's right.

This will definitely be a hot topic.

Whether it's someone stirring things up behind the scenes or not, the number of online trolls has been increasing recently, mostly spreading information online about Chen Yu's lack of influence.

In this regard.

Chen Yu, however, did not have any particular thoughts.

No one can stay at the top forever; even as a reborn person, one still has to face failure.

In fact, it wasn't really a failure.

Chen Jin felt that 1 million was acceptable.

Furthermore.

He believes that the box office performance of the film "Black Coal, Thin Ice" was not so disappointing.

The previous life.

Black Coal, Thin Ice only grossed 4000 million in its opening weekend.

This was considered a good result at the time, so Chen Yu didn't think too much about it.

I just hung up the phone with Diao Yinan.

Chen Yu then noticed the missed calls on his phone.

It's Nolan.

These past few days, Nolan has been calling him every few days, mainly to report on the progress of his work.

Clearly, Warner has already started working on it.

I believe casting should be just around the corner.

Chen Yu pressed the call button, and Nolan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Chan, I really don't know how to praise you."

ha?
Chen Yu was somewhat amused and exasperated by Nolan's reaction, and did not respond immediately.

"Did you know? Warner Bros. has recently released the script."

"Perhaps it's because your previous film, 'Joker,' was so outstanding that many people have started to want to participate in it."

have to say.

This is what Chen Yu deserves.

Just how good is the script for "Joker"?
It was enough to cause a sensation throughout North America.

Especially after his brilliant performance in "The Dark Knight," people began to enthusiastically support him after learning that he would be acting alongside Chen Yu.

"We have already received quite a few collaboration ideas from people."

"Next-"

"We're just waiting for casting, then we can officially start filming."

Nolan couldn't help but rub his hands together in anticipation.

He couldn't even imagine how popular the movie would be after it was released.

And Chen Yu.

After hearing Nolan's series of reactions, he did not immediately express his opinion.

He was aware of the immense popularity of "Joker".

In his previous life, Joaquin Phoenix won the Venice Golden Lion and the Academy Award for Best Actor for this film.

It can be said.

This movie has absolutely reached the pinnacle.

"Shall we begin casting now?"

Naturally, Chen Yu had to be involved in this matter. As the screenwriter of the film, he was very familiar with each of the characters.

He cannot be excluded, of course.

"Um--"

"Wait a minute, we need to negotiate the salary with them first."

The lowest bidder wins.

Although Chen Yu already had someone in mind, those who can break into Hollywood are all capable.

It can be said.

Anyone could play any role in the Joker script well.

Nolan naturally understood the meaning behind Chen Yu's words.

This kind of big IP is an outstanding project in every aspect, so the casting process must be more careful.

Liu Yifei was sitting beside him at that moment.

Naturally, he overheard their conversation.

It must be said that Chen Yu in front of us is quite dazzling.

He can handle any task, no matter how small.

As soon as Chen Yu hung up the phone, Liu Yifei leaned over with a serious expression.

"Congratulations, great screenwriter."

"Your script is going to be a global sensation."

After hearing Liu Yifei's words, Chen Yu reached out and tapped her on the head.

When he was writing the script, he was thinking about which role he could give to Liu Yifei.

However, I don't have many ideas about it at the moment.

As for now.

The whole of North America is talking about this.

With Joker getting a spin-off movie, they're naturally looking forward to collaborating with him.

Putting aside this major IP,

Being able to collaborate with Chen Yu would definitely be something that excites them.

For a while.

The Hollywood Reporter hyped up the story.

[The globally popular Joker gets its own spin-off, with Chen Yu reimagining the classic villain!]

[Joker is coming! Chen Yu boldly breaks away from the DC Universe to create a brand new villain origin story!]

[Written and starring himself! Chen Yu aims to create a dark-style "Joker"!]

[Joker solo film locked for R rating, poised to be the first villainous sequel!]

Dozens of A-list celebrities are fiercely competing for a role in "Joker"!

A stone stirred up a thousand waves.

Within just one day, the entire internet was discussing this matter.

Chen Yu wrote the screenplay for "Joker" and successfully secured support from Warner Bros.

God.

What an honor this is!
Chen Yu has broken the industry's established perceptions.

After all, Warner Bros., as a major Hollywood studio, has never accepted scripts from outsiders.

They already have a more mature system of screenwriters and talent agencies internally.

How could I possibly accept other people's work?
But now——

Chen Yu broke this rule.

Chinese culture has ultimately influenced Hollywood and the entire world.

This is undoubtedly a new model for Sino-foreign film cooperation.

Everyone was completely shocked.

At this moment, netizens across the internet have joined the discussion.

"This is truly an honor! Our Brother Yu is a true example of cultural export."

"This is a case of 'dimensional reduction attack'."

"Brother Yu is quietly accomplishing great things. What happened to those trolls from a few days ago? Let's see what Chen Yu is capable of."

"The Joker! This is the Joker! Just look at the reactions of those Hollywood stars to know how amazing this script is."

"..."

For a while.

Everyone was talking at once.

This is no longer just Chen Yu's glory; the entire Chinese entertainment industry is also thrilled.

Excitement, joy, doubt, jealousy.

At this moment, the entire entertainment industry in China is filled with all sorts of emotions.

This was like a bolt from the blue.

It shocked everyone to their core.

No one knows how Chen Yu managed to do it.

He conquered the world with his talent. Everyone knows the threshold of Warner Music, but Chen Yu won the applause.

This matter is being discussed across the entire internet.

It has completely become a phenomenon.

Besides Warner Bros. adopting Chen Yu's script, everyone is also very curious about the casting of "Joker".

For a moment, everyone was filled with anticipation! (End of Chapter)
