[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

In Joy's version of "Suicide Squad", the clown is one of the highlights. Unlike the "Suicide Squad" in the previous life, the clown is just a casual character with no plot influence or even in-depth characterization.

She restored all the deleted plots of the clown in the previous life, and added some plots depicting the clown in more depth and detail.

In the previous life, Warner deleted at least one-third of the clown's scenes, so the character of the clown was sacrificed. All the deleted plots can reflect the characteristics of the character itself, such as madness, violence, moodiness, and perverseness.The clown and Harley Quinn have never been the kind of couple relationship in previous life movies, but full of abuse.Love, violence and deformity.

These are not reflected because the clown line is not focused on portraying. In the previous movie, the clown directly became a domineering president in the second class. Every time he appeared on the scene, he seemed to save the clown girl, and did nothing else. Not even a single extra line was said.

This will lead to a problem, that is, most of the charm of the clown has been lost, and he has no unique values. Unlike the clown played by Heath Ledger, he commits crimes for fun.

Leto's clown is a crazy psycho, infatuated gangster.

But "infatuation" is not a unique value.

So the charm of the characters is greatly reduced.

Everyone will only feel that the performance is "empty and exaggerated", "like a lunatic", "has no personality, just a dead pervert".

So Joey added several new tags to the clown in his movie.

That is - talking wildly, likes to hurt those who love him, has a weird temper, and is unpredictable.

And these traits are implemented in specific plots, using corresponding plots to reflect these traits, instead of like the "Suicide Squad" in the previous life, the clown played for about 5 minutes in total (is there any?).

In addition, especially in the abnormal relationship between the clown and Harley Quinn, Joey deliberately added a few plots.

For example, the clown is sweeping a restaurant with a gun, and then he drops the gun and leaves. The clown chases after him on a motorcycle and points a gun at the clown.But after the clown said some love words, Harley Quinn put down the gun.

Then the clown immediately slapped Harley Quinn.The two talked a little more and then began to kiss.

For example, the clown rescued the clown girl in a helicopter, but the two quarreled, and the clown pushed the clown girl off the plane again.

For example, before the final battle, the clown, whose face was half blacked out, wanted to take the clown away, but the clown didn't want to leave her teammates behind, so the rest of the team quarreled with the clown, and the clown threw a landmine After killing everyone, they ran away, and they didn't bother to care about Harley Quinn.

These plots may reflect the personality of the real clown, not the domineering president who only shouts "Harry, Harry, I love you, go home with Ugly."...

He is not in love with Harley Quinn so simply, the relationship between the two is actually very deformed.

At the same time, it can also reflect the surlyness and madness of the clown.

But to be honest, Leto's clown really surprised Joey.After Joey told him to play the Joker in another way, he seemed to have found the most suitable route.

Leto is an Oscar winner (Best Supporting Actor), and his acting is impeccable.Now he has embarked on a more suitable route, which is to completely cosplay the clown in the original book. He plays the surly perverted lunatic in the comics, which is different from Heath Ledger's clown.

Heath Ledger's clown is the clown in the re-set world view of "Batman Prequels". After all, Nolan's "Batman Prequels" trilogy can only be regarded as a fan work of Batman comics. Batman, the Joker, and others are fan-oriented, not orthodox comic book-oriented. They are worlds and scripts constructed and fabricated by Nolan himself.

Heath Ledger played the clown to its peak.

Leto doesn't have to go that route, he just needs to stay true to the book and show a 10th of the madness of the maniac in the book.

Leto's clown appearance is already very comic, as if he came out of a comic, and his madness is more detailed, which may be very similar to his own performance style, which is completely an unreasonable madness , while Heath Ledger's clown is crazy and more rational and strategic.

These are two different styles.

If at the beginning, Joey was still worried about whether Leto could use an exaggerated comic style to get out of the new play, but when he saw the first scene of the clown today, Joey had completely let go of this doubt.

This scene is the clown's solo play.

Leto's Joker laughs while shooting from a helicopter.

Crazy, gloomy, neurotic, violent, bloody, murderous, people like hemp, all those unique charismatic qualities have been put on Leto's face several times.

This is just a scene, and everyone around is silent after watching it...

Will Smith walked up to Joey at this moment, as if he had nothing to say to Leto's performance, he said softly: "Joy, what do you want to say..."

Joey licked his lower lip, and it took him a long time to utter a word, "I... have goosebumps all over my body..."

Margot Robbie also came to Joey, she was dressed in a sexy clown girl dress, holding a baseball bat in her hand, "I was worried at first whether Leto would fall into the shadow of Heath Ledger, after all Heath Ledger's Joker is so popular, but now my worries seem unnecessary."

Will smiled, "The clown played by Heath Ledger is more prominent and pays attention to the interlocking plan, but Joey's script this time obviously does not position the clown in this way, so the Leto we saw The interpretation of the clown lies in a ruthless word that does not play cards according to reason, and pays attention to the fear brought to the other party physically and mentally, is that so, Joey?"

Joey nodded, "That's right, the clown in my script is faithful to the original, while Heath Ledger's clown was created by Nolan, but Nolan's "Batman Prequel" is more inclined to fans."

The so-called Joey version of the clown is ruthless, with a bit of a mafia boss.

Maybe it can be reflected in the part where the clown interrogates the prison guard, staring at the prison guard sitting on the stool while walking around the stool, making that kind of hyena-like whining sound in his throat.Then the prison guard broke down, kissed the back of the clown's hand, and confessed everything.

So, Heath Ledger's clown is like a philosopher; Jared Leto's clown is a psycho killer.

Therefore, Joy suggested that Leto use comic exaggeration to perform it, because the clown in her version of the movie is already very comic.

But what she didn't expect was that Leto pondered deeper, and he used a more delicate way to interpret this kind of exaggerated and comic-like madness.

Leto's clown is not as scary as Heath Ledger, every time Joey takes a breath, Leto's clown is handsome and crazy, that's enough.

After this version of "Suicide Squad" is released, there should not be many people comparing Heath Ledger's Joker with Leto's Joker.

Because these two are not a clown at all.

In order to see the specific effect of her own version of "Suicide Squad" in advance, Joy's first line was the clown line.

After she finished filming the clown line, she took it to the special effects artist, and wanted him to cut a version of the clown line first.

This is a line that is comparable to the entire movie and the squad line, maybe even more amazing than the squad line, and its quality directly determines the quality of the movie.

So Joey wanted to know quickly if the line was completely connected and looked at, what needs to be changed in style and positioning.

She didn't ask the editor to make it complicated and delicate, but only asked him to edit the copy coherently, add simple special effects and edit according to Joey's storyboard.

Because this is extra work during shooting, Joey spends every day after the shooting is over, and at night discusses editing with the special effects artists in the studio.

However, this is also Warner's request, because after hearing that Joey has deleted and changed the plot in a large amount, and even the style positioning is a little bit loose, Warner is a little worried. They hope that Joey will first shoot the plot of the clown line, and then roughly cut a version show them.

This is actually a lot of work, at least it took Joey some time and energy.

After finishing the rough cut of the clown line, she found that she was still very satisfied, whether it was the style, the storyboard or the direction of the lines and the performance of the actors.

Then she took this rough cut version of the clown line and gave it to Warner.

She knows that for all comic films, the production company is always unwilling to let the director do it, and they are always tied up. This can also be understood. After all, the cost + publicity is basically 3 million US dollars invested, and no company will not pay attention.

It can be said that Warner executives are looking forward to it very much. Joey Grant, what kind of clown will be produced this time?

And this time, how did she integrate her own style into "Suicide Squad" to achieve a visual effect?
