Chapter 696 Music Master
Things develop in waves and advance in spirals.

The same is true for Hollywood, where audience tastes change almost every few years, so film companies have to constantly satisfy the audience's discerning appetite to ensure continued profitability.

From the suspense films, musicals and gangster films of the golden age, to the action films of the 1980s, 1990s, and the rapidly developing science fiction and epic films, to today's superhero movies.

There are so many different types of movies that the audience will be dazzled.

The development of the film industry seems to have reached a threshold. How to attract audiences has become a subject that film companies are racking their brains to study.

Superhero movies have existed for a long time, starting with the Superman movie and ending with the most recent Spider-Man 3. It can be seen that with the advancement of technology, superhero movies are becoming more and more sophisticated.

But all superhero movies essentially remain within the areas most often explored in mainstream movies, which is that justice must prevail and the bad guys must be defeated.

"The Dark Knight" is actually not out of this category, but as Charles Roven said after watching the finished film edited by Gilbert Jr.

"The Dark Knight" has transcended the themes of superhero comics and explored issues that are unprecedented in superhero movies.

The strong dark realistic style is overwhelming, which is rare in superhero movies.

There are not many superheroes who can carry the dark style, and Batman is the most suitable one.

People inside Warner Bros. were also a little hesitant when they saw the edited version without Gilbert's music.

CEO Qili Ross directly questioned: "This style of film is rare in the market, especially superhero movies.

I doubt the market will accept it.”

In response to questions from Warner Bros. executives, Gilbert Jr. said, "I can't guarantee that the market will like it. This is not something I can decide.

All I can guarantee is to make a movie to the best of my ability, and if Warner Bros. is not satisfied, they can find a new editor to edit it.

I'm fine with editing The Dark Knight into Joy Rider."

The rest of the Warner executives tried to smooth things over: "No need, no need. Director Gilbert's cut is definitely the best version, and we at Warner absolutely support it."

Qili Ross still wanted to object, but the executives were unanimous and her objection was ineffective.

Kiri Ross had no prestige at all in Warner Bros. If she hadn't been sent by the group company, the executives would have removed her long ago.

Faced with such a major matter concerning the life and death of DC movies, the executives obviously still trust the super director Gilbert Jr. more.

Qi Li Ross was very indignant. She wanted to wait and see what these people would say after the movie "Superman" she directed became a big hit.

After internal previews, Hans Zimmer's score work has been completed and "The Dark Knight" has reached the stage of adding the score.

This time, Hans Zimmer's soundtrack style has changed a lot from the first film, using more symphonic music to highlight the epic and grand feeling of the film.

Many fans joked that Little Gilbert actually filmed the MV for Hans Zimmer's soundtrack, which indirectly proves how excellent Hans Zimmer's soundtrack work is.

It is because of his outstanding work in composing music that Hans Zimmer has won the favor of many Hollywood directors such as Gilbert Jr., who invited him to compose music for their movies.

In his spare time, Gilbert Jr. also discussed with Hans Zimmer how the soundtrack can set off the film and how to enhance the emotions of the audience.

Hans Zimmer is a member of the boom school. He advocates using loud soundtracks to drive emotions, letting the soundtrack occupy the audience's hearing and follow the emotions of the soundtrack.

Many Hollywood music masters are of the quiet school, advocating that music should be used to assist the film and guide the audience's emotions without making a sound. Gilbert Jr. has worked with music masters of both schools, and there is no saying that one is better than the other, but that the music should be adapted to the style of the film.

When Hans Zimmer was making the soundtrack, he used different styles and emotions. These styles and emotions were put into the movie, basically representing three people.

They are Batman Bruce Wayne, The Joker, and Two-Face Harvey Dent.

The overall feeling of the clown-style soundtrack is very depressing. The soundtrack sounds like noise, making people restless.

Hans Zimmer used a lot of electronic sounds and dissonant tones to compose this part of the soundtrack, using the soundtrack to show the unsettling feeling of the clown.

Batman here is divided into two parts, one is Bruce Wayne and the other is Batman.

In the part of Bruce Wayne, Hans Zimmer made extensive use of modern music styles, interspersed with beautiful melodies composed by cello.

From the melody, you can hear that Bruce Wayne has a slight sense of sadness and loneliness.

The Batman part is a grand and tragic symphony, very rich and gorgeous, just like Batman's appearance.

The Harvey Dent part is like his fate in the film, bright at the beginning and dark at the end, and the variations of the Batman theme suggest that he is going in a completely different direction.

Gilbert was undoubtedly very satisfied with the work on the soundtrack, and soon added it to the feature film, making "The Dark Knight" a complete film.

However, just when the film was officially closed, Charles Roven brought a message that Christian Bale was arrested by the police for beating someone.

"What's going on?" Gilbert Jr. asked Christian Bale's agent.

His agent replied: "Chris had a conflict with his family and then hit someone. The outside world doesn't know about it yet."

Because of the good relationship with the Los Angeles Police Department and the long-term sponsorship, knowing that Christian Bale had recently collaborated with Gilbert Jr., the police department immediately notified Gilbert Jr.

Little Gilbert frowned: "There will definitely be media outlets that will hype this up. Let's bail Chris out first!"

Christian Bale has a bad temper, but in fact, many Hollywood stars have bad tempers, including Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron, etc.

Naomi Watts gave Peter Jackson a lot of cold shoulder when filming "King Kong".

When Charlize Theron was filming "Hancock", she scolded the lead actor Brad Pitt so much that he couldn't even raise his head.

There are countless other stars who beat people, committed domestic violence, drank alcohol, and even took drugs.

Many Hollywood stars have a very strange family behind them, such as Britney Spears's strange family. If it weren't for her strange family, perhaps Britney Spears would still be the queen of the music world today.

The family behind Christian Bale is not simple either, some of them are gamblers, alcoholics, and even criminals. These people are vampires lying on Christian Bale, but the media doesn't care about these.

So as soon as Christian Bale came out, Gilbert Jr. issued a media gag order against him, temporarily prohibiting him from accepting interviews and making public appearances.

Then the controlled media began to hype up Christian Bale's weird family, portraying him as an innocent person to gain public sympathy.

Of course, competitors would not miss this good opportunity, so domestic violence, anger disorders, and so-called victims of Chris's violence all appeared.

Needless to say, the purpose is to prevent "The Dark Knight" from selling well during the summer vacation.
