American fame and fortune

In recent years, San Diego Comic-Con has become another major promotional venue for Hollywood movies in addition to the Super Bowl. Warner Bros. has booked an entire exhibition hall at Comic-Con to promote its movies.

In the exhibition hall, the most eye-catching ones are "The Dark Knight" and "Terminator 4".

The Dark Knight exhibition area gathered a large number of reporters and fans today.

The reporters in the front row set up their guns and cannons, waiting for the promotional activities to begin.

Cole, the reporter from "Empire", was chatting with several colleagues.

"According to the announcement issued by Warner, the two main protagonists Bale and Martin will be on the same stage for promotion today."

"Remember the news last year? Martin and Bale had a fight on the set because they were too deeply involved in the character and were affected by the character's emotions."

"I know that Bell was hospitalized for mental illness treatment. Martin still sees a psychiatrist every week. When filming the new movie in New York, he even went to the Psychiatric Center of Presbyterian Hospital!"

"Have you seen the latest trailer? The Joker is an extremely evil lunatic. It's normal for Batman to not be able to bear beating him."

"You're confusing filming with reality."

“Isn’t that what the best character creation and performances are?”

The surrounding sounds suddenly disappeared, and the entire media area and audience area fell silent, but it was the film director Nolan who stepped onto the stage.

In the waiting area on one side of the stage, Martin, accompanied by Bruce, was preparing to go on stage.

On the other side, Bell, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, slowly walked to the waiting area opposite.

Nolan's voice came over at this time: "Batman Christian Bale is invited to appear!"

Bale moved off the stage and went backstage. He cooperated with Nolan and answered some questions from media reporters and fans.

Bruce listened to the voice in front and said to Martin: "Bell seems to be much more emotionally stable."

Martin said: "I didn't stimulate him continuously."

Bruce reminded: "Be gentle and don't hit the person."

Martin said: "Today's theme is fighting. Batman and the Joker fight each other, not a one-sided fight."

After a long period of preparation, it has been widely known that he and Bale suffered psychological and mental problems due to being too deep into the role.

But the media and the public still don’t know how serious these impacts are.

Soon, Nolan's voice called from the front of the stage: "Martin Davis is invited to appear next!"

Martin adjusted his suit slightly, walked quickly onto the stage, and waved to the media reporters and the large number of red T-shirts below.

The applause broke out, much louder than when Bell came on stage.

Martin put down his hand, turned his eyes forward, and saw Bell wearing a handmade suit.

Almost at the same time, Bell turned his face and looked at Martin.

The two looked at each other, and the air seemed to be twisted and ignited.

The media reporters in the audience, who had particularly sensitive senses of smell, seemed to smell a burnt smell.

"Empire" reporter Cole whispered: "These two seem to be natural enemies."

On the stage, Bell looked serious, resolute and fearless, like a born messenger of justice.

Martin burst out laughing, at first as brightly as the midday Southern California sun.

When he smiled brightest, his smile became crazy and evil, making people shudder.

Martin said to Nolan and Bell: "Why are you so serious?"

Nolan didn't say anything, he had already arranged the script.

Bell suddenly strode towards Martin, walking faster and faster, and shouted angrily: "Asshole, you sold your soul to the devil, you are an evil and chaotic devil."

Martin was still laughing.

Although there is a script, new grudges are added to old grudges, and Bell is furious, and the anger on his face is not staged.

He always wanted to beat this bastard!

Bale rushes up, Batman-style, and punches Martin in the head.

Martin stretched out his hand to block it, but Bell's fist hit his shoulder, which made him laugh even louder.

Bell threw a second punch.

If it weren't for the film's promotional needs, and Batman couldn't be beaten unilaterally, Martin would have just kneed Bale in the vitals, turning him into a cooked prawn.

He struggled to hold Bell's arm, and the two became in a wrestling position.

The media reporters and fans below the stage were stunned: What happened, the two protagonists of the film got into a fight on the set?

These people have all seen the trailer released by the crew, and have the illusion that Batman and the Joker are fighting from the screen to reality?

Not only the reporters were stunned, but Nolan and the staff on the stage were also stunned. For a while, no one came forward to separate Martin and Bell.

The cameras and video cameras of reporters were always in shooting mode, and fans who reacted quickly took out their mobile phones and took photos and videos.

With a plop, Bell and Martin on the stage fell to the floor one after another, entangled in each other.

Bell kept roaring: "You chaotic and evil devil!"

Martin just laughed heartily!

Nolan seemed to react at this moment and shouted loudly: "Hurry up! Separate them quickly!" His voice was loud, and through the microphone on his collar, it spread throughout the audience: "Damn, those two characters are still affecting me. them!"

Several staff members ran over to start a fight.

Bruce also took the opportunity to take the stage in case something unexpected happened.

Several people surrounded Martin and Bale, and Nolan couldn't reach out, but he truly demonstrated the professionalism of a commercial director.

"Bell, you are not Batman now! Martin, you are not the Joker! Enough is enough for you two!" He turned red with anxiety and the veins on his neck bulged: "This is San Diego, this is the real world you live in, not Gotham! "

Finally, Martin and Bell separated, and several staff members stood in the middle of the two to separate them.

Bell's face was filled with anger.

Martin was still laughing, his smile wild, crazy and evil.

It’s time for this extraordinary publicity campaign to come to an end.

Nolan directed people to take Martin and Bale away, and specifically warned through the microphone: "Go separately and don't let them meet again! They are still affected by the emotions of Batman and the Joker!"

After the two were persuaded to step down, Nolan said apologetically: "I'm very sorry. Some unexpected circumstances occurred, which made the interaction unable to continue. I can only stop here in the morning."

Many reporters shouted below: "Did they fight because of Batman and the Joker?"

Nolan added: "I urgently need to understand their situation now. Please pay attention to the crew's announcement. We will report the specific situation as soon as possible."

No longer caring about the enthusiastic reporters and fans, Nolan hurriedly left the stage.

In a lounge backstage, Martin took off his torn coat, threw it aside casually, and said, "Sure enough, luxury goods are disposable items."

Bruce glanced at it: "They all say that if a gift is worn twice, it will be very cheap."

He saw Martin shaking his hands and asked, "You're not hurt, are you?"

Martin rubbed his fingers and said, "I pinched both of Bell's wrists during the support. Maybe I used a little too much force and my fingers got a headache."

He rubbed his hands: "Bell's wrist is too hard and not soft enough."

Bruce was infinitely sympathetic: "Poor Bell."

In another lounge, Bell put his hands in front of him, grimacing as he looked at the pain in his wrists.

Both wrists were all blue, and some places were even purple.

How hard did that bastard use?

Bell suspected that if someone hadn't pulled him away in time, his wrist bone might have cracked.

In the exhibition hall, the reporters dispersed like crazy, each holding a camera and looking for a place to send information. Today's big news must be released as soon as possible.

The Internet era is different from the past. In the past, they could wait for the newspaper to be published the next day and take their time.

Nowadays, timeliness trumps everything.

A reporter from TMZ found a place with a good wireless signal, asked his colleague to take out his laptop and connect it to the computer, quickly sent the video, and then called Jodi: "Head, big news, Bell and Martin are fighting. Look up, these two people seem to have not completely come out of Batman and the Joker, they start fighting without saying anything when they meet, justice and evil collide in reality!"

"As you continue to look at the Dark Knight cast, it's clear that Martin and Bale's character-driven psychological issues have not been fully addressed," Jody said.

She reacted super quickly: "I'll have someone keep an eye on the Beverly Psychological Clinic, and Martin might go see his psychiatrist."

It took a long time for the video here to be sent back to TMZ headquarters.

Jodi edited the news herself, so she didn't need too many words. From the behind-the-scenes video of the crew being "stolen" by hackers, she retrieved the video material of the conflict between Martin and Bell on the set because they were too deep into the role, and added that Bell accepted Psychological Clinic, a series of news about Martin's weekly visits to the psychological clinic, integrated into one column.

She called the editor-in-chief for instructions, and the TMZ website added a small section dedicated to publishing news videos related to the Dark Knight, especially the conditions of Martin and Bale.

As soon as the video news was released, it aroused strong curiosity among the people who eat melons.

Under the deliberate guidance of the professional team hired by Warner Bros., the focus of the public's attention became what kind of plot and characters of The Dark Knight had such a huge impact on the two protagonists.

At the same time, under the attention of countless media reporters, Martin, accompanied by Bruce, boarded a helicopter and left San Diego early and returned to Los Angeles.

Then another reporter photographed Bell leaving at the San Diego Airport.

Subsequently, the Dark Knight crew held a press conference, and Nolan came forward on behalf of the crew to report the morning's situation and the conditions of Martin and Bale.

"The two actors were in poor mental condition and left San Diego early." He said with a heavy face: "Martin and Bale are both dedicated and good actors. They have put in a lot of effort to play the roles of the Joker and Batman. I didn't expect that either. , two special characters actually affected reality..."

In addition to filming and producing movies, Nolan's ability to promote and hype is also outstanding.

Faced with the siege of reporters, he calmly answered various difficult questions and continued to use language arts to stimulate curiosity and exploration of the Dark Knight in media entertainment.

Before nightfall, The Dark Knight, along with Martin and Bale, were among the top three searches on Google.
