actor big star

Chapter 492 'Surprise' and 'Happiness'

A commercial film with an investment of only tens of millions, won the best film and best actor in the camp of art films—the three major European film festivals. From this perspective alone, "Joker" is already the most comical movie. A successful one.

After winning the award, the crew released several promotional posters in succession.

The first one, the most official poster, is a clown in a red suit and green hair, standing in the long stairs going up and down, posing in a dancing pose, with makeup on his face, eyes closed, looking up place.

This is an enjoyable poster that can make the audience perceive that the clown is very successful.

The second poster that followed directly hit the hearts of the audience, making those audiences who had great expectations for the clown feel like their tear ducts were crushed instantly.

Side face, ultra-close-up photo stickers, you can see that Zhou Le's eyebrows and eye area are smeared with makeup clown oil paint, only half of his face is in the poster, you can see that he is using the fingers of both hands to pull himself The corner of his mouth pulled back into a smiley face.

The oil paint ran down the tears, black tears running down the cheeks.

Everyone knows that the clown is a villain, but when seeing this poster, inexplicable sadness arises spontaneously.

The smile pulled out by fingers and the large folds formed by the flesh on the face are clearly visible. Compared with the fashion blockbuster Eric just took for Zhou Le, this photo doesn't even talk about beauty, and it doesn't add anything to his personal image.

But the tears stained black by the oil paint formed a sharp contrast with the smile drawn by hand, which aroused the curiosity of all the audience. What kind of story does this movie based on the clown tell?

The last poster, at first glance, feels like a spoiler-level poster, but when you look at it carefully again, you will unconsciously have countless associations.

Arthur the Clown, facing Wayne and his son across the iron railing gate, in the distance of the picture is the mansion of the Wayne family.

Whether the eyes of the characters on the poster can convey the content, on this poster, yes.

Everyone knows that Wayne is Batman, the enemy of life. In the story of "Joker", it is obvious that the child is Batman in adulthood. It is said that this is a movie that has nothing to do with superheroes. So what does this poster indicate?

The clown and old Wayne looked at each other, what did they want to express in the fixed expression and the state in the eyes?

It won an award, it was screened at a film festival, and some people watched it. Although it is not a direct spoiler without a product, it can issue a guiding type of comment.

"With an open plot, I only believed in Zhou's performance, but I didn't expect him to present an open performance for me. It's amazing. This actor deserves it."

More and more people are becoming interested in this movie. Before, everyone felt that it was a challenge for Zhou Le to regain the classic role. If he failed, his success in shaping the clown so far would completely disappear. But now he won the award through the film festival. The character is clearly successful, but how successful is that?Can the three major film festivals in Europe pay so much attention to it, and can so many filmmakers give the highest evaluation?

We want to see "Joker"!
This is the best publicity effect I want. No matter how successful the film is overseas, the final battlefield is the North American market. If it cannot succeed in North America, everything will be in vain.

The interest of North American audiences has been raised, and the schedule of "Joker" in North America has also been listed as the most watched entertainment event. When will it be released?

The R rating was announced subsequently, but there was no disturbance in North America. It was related to the role of the clown.The emergence of this rating has stunned many Chinese audiences. All senior movie fans know that it is almost impossible for this rating to be released in China, unless it is a cut version. Can a classic movie accept cuts?The key is Zhou Le's temper, can he accept the deletion?

Huaxia audience didn't have time to pay attention to those who criticized Zhou Le before. After he won the silver bear actor, there was no suspense in that battle. The music fans, who already had an advantage in numbers, carried out their favorite "slaughter" link , Chasing and fighting all the way, they are getting more and more ruthless now, the purpose is very simple, to make those trolls never dare to stand up, don't they keep saying that they are not bad?It depends on whether you have the ability to bear the attacks of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of people.

Audiences in China began to look forward to "Joker", hoping to use their collective advantages to allow more people to see their voices, and finally make the film successfully land in China. Let us also take a look at this highly rated film Movie.

Zhou Le received calls from Cai Mingzhe and Xu Dong on the crew of "Iron Man", and also received calls from many old friends in the industry. Everyone said the same thing - the above film "Joker" also During the discussion, whether it can be released in China, opponents and supporters have different opinions, and there is currently no clear conclusion.

At the time of filming, Zhou Le realized that it was almost impossible for this movie to be released in China. Not only he could not accept the deleted version, but also the crew could not accept it. He really wanted to delete some scenes that were acceptable according to China's standards. The power of the story will weaken a lot, and the power conveyed by Zhou Le's performance will also weaken a lot.

The meaning of Cai Mingzhe's call is very simple. Now someone is contacting Warner. Whether it is the objection of the crew or Zhou Le himself, there is actually no force. In the end, it is up to Warner to decide whether to agree to re-edit and release the Chinese version.

Those who contacted were a group of people between opposition and support. They were reluctant to part with the box office revenue brought by Zhou Le's influence, so they communicated with Warner. Why should we resist a situation where we can obviously win?Even if it is a deleted version, it can still sell a lot of box office. This is beyond doubt. Why not do it to make money?
They stood there as a mediator of contradictions, making their supporters hate them, and even got the support of many opponents. Such a proposal was also difficult for Warner to resist. When encountering similar things before, Huaxia directly rejected it. Don't give any chance, this time with Zhou Le, it means that China has opened the door of convenience, they will cut it if they want to cut it, anyway, it's for their audience to see, what happens in the end has nothing to do with us, it gets the box office Just divide it.

"It seems that Warner is definitely unable to refuse such a proposal?" After Zhou Le got to know Jason and the others, he also knew that it is impossible for Warner to refuse to get more income. It can be said that Huaxia proposed the most good plan.

As for how many people will be harmed by this plan, no one cares.

Nobody cares, I care.

Zhou Le first expressed his thoughts to Warner. As one of the investors with full channel share and the leading actor who gave the movie its soul, his words could reach the highest level of Warner.

"I hope not to hurt the hearts of Chinese audiences, and strive to complete the release, and I will do my best to facilitate this."

This is determination, and determination is impossible to impress interests.

Zhou Le then came up with a beneficial plan after urgent consultation with the team to impress Warner to fight.

"If it can be released in its entirety, I can guarantee that the produced clown peripherals will have a crazy sales rate in China. I will personally promote them through various channels to ensure that the clown peripherals can get the largest coverage."

Can "Joker" have peripherals?
This is a problem that was never considered at all. A villain, what surroundings can there be? The hideous face is also more scary. It is even more impossible to sell it to young people, and it is impossible to make some figures suitable for low-age groups. What do you do? around?
Zhou Le didn't explain. He just said such a thing and then kept silent. The meaning is obvious. You must support me first, so that I can give you what you want.

In fact, he was bluffing Warner. Where did he have any peripheral ideas? Even Warner didn’t think of it. He is a busy man and he doesn’t have a dedicated team to deal with this matter. How could he have a good peripheral plan? What he needs It's just a time difference. It's best to think of it within this time difference. If you can't think of it, as long as the film can be released in China, Warner Bros. will have nothing to lose, and no one will come to him for this matter.

Batman succeeded, Superman succeeded, and now the clown is also successful, and DC also has a strategic vision. Who knows if there will be movies related to the clown in the future, even if he wants to play a supporting role to fill in a certain In a superhero movie, besides Zhou Le, if you invite someone else, will the audience buy it?

It is certain to have a good relationship with him, at least it will not tear your face. Zhou Le told a big lie very confidently. He himself never thought that this lie can be fulfilled, and he is worrying about how to operate this matter. It turned out that at this time, the 'surprise' from Eric's team Tina arrived some time ago.

In Zhou Le, there was only surprise, not much joy. The most important thing was that such a surprise was caused by people like Dong Fengyu and Dongdong, who consciously concealed themselves.

Before he really had the emotions he should have for this matter, the joy in the 'surprise' came, and this 'surprise' came with 'joy' as a vote.

One Plus One Overseas Company officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Eric's team, and the entire team will be affiliated with One Plus One Company and become the company's exclusive photography team.

This huge 'surprise' made Zhou Le roll his eyes with a bit of anger at the same time, Dongdong conveyed Dong Fengyu's meaning, she promised that Eric will always be one meter away from you, the main purpose of this team's signing For the win-win goal, the company needs to expand its influence. Eric’s team is very famous in the fashion circle, which can add a sense of sight to a big company; Eric’s team wants to expand the Chinese market, and now the best springboard Undoubtedly it was Zhou Le.
