720. Chapter 720 Scene 720 The Black Knight Attacks
"Don't think of lying to me, I've seen your laptop. Your original goal is 600 million." Lei Ting stared at him and snorted.
"Sister Tingting, if I said... I'm sure that "Boyant Pi" would Peter Warner let "The Dark Knight" be released at this time, would you believe it?" Li Xiaole blinked.
"I believe it." Lei Ting nodded and looked at him: "You guy has so many tricks in your mind. I have nothing to think of. I just want to ask you a question. Who do you think can win at the box office this time?"
"Ha...I really don't know this. I just think that the global box office of "Dark Knight" will be at least over one billion. After all, the difference in themes is too big... We are probably not his opponent in the overseas market..." Li Xiaole smiled and said, "As for the box office in North America... who knows, I'm not a god."
"Aren't you Jesus Lee?" Lei Ting looked at him sarcastically.
"Ah~~ This lady, Jesus saw that your cheeks were flushed and your eyes were filled with peach blossoms. There must be a flying trip tonight..." Li Xiaole closed his eyes and pretended to be a ghost.
"That's what you said~" Lei Ting snorted coldly, rushed over and sat on Li Xiaole, pressing him down and ripping off his clothes. Li Xiaole was so scared that she waved her hands and panicked: "Sister Tingting~ Don't mess around, save some energy, and have some serious things tomorrow?"
"What a serious thing?" Lei Ting squinted her eyes and looked at him from top to bottom.
"We are attending the premiere of "The Dark Knight". Nolan helps us promote it. We can't help him with something..." Li Xiaole said for granted.
"Are you going to attend the premiere of "The Dark Knight"?" Lei Ting asked in a daze: "Aren't you obviously provoking? Can Nolan agree?"
"I'll call him to help us stay a seat." Li Xiaole broke free from Lei Ting's suppression, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and then sent an email to Nolan's email.
"Director Nolan, I want to attend the premiere of "The Dark Knight". Can you leave me five tickets?"
In the Warner Studios office, Nolan's assistant black girl Judy Montari is checking the release information of tomorrow's theaters. When he sees a new email, he clicks it. When he sees the content, he turns to Nolan, who is closing his eyes to recuperate, and shouts:
"Mr. Nolan, there is a guy who wants to attend your premiere. Come and see whose email address is?"
"Didn't you tell me, Judy, don't pay attention to these chores tonight and concentrate on your work~~" Nolan on the sofa opened his eyes and said unhappily.
"Mr. Nolan, don't you be so arbitrary? Of course there is a reason for me to ask you!" Assistant black girl Judy Montaly said with a very temper: "You have saved this email address! It must be your acquaintance. If it was sent by your mother, wouldn't I remind you not! I am a professional!"
"Well... Sorry, Eddie, I'll take a look." Nolan heard that he had no choice but to come and see who asked him for a ticket at this time...
"This guy is asking you for 5 tickets. It's definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise I wouldn't call you." Judy explained reasonably.
"Well, he is indeed not an ordinary person." Nolan opened his mouth in surprise when he looked at the email address, and then laughed: "I replied to him and said thank you Mr. Li Xiaole, I will prepare the best place to wait for him."
"Wait, are you saying that this guy who wants the ticket is Li Xiaole!?" Judy Montari widened his eyes and said, "How dare he come to our premiere? Isn't he an enemy of Warner?? This is a blatant provocation to us!"
"Warner and Black Pearl are rivals, and we are just rivals." Nolan emphasized with a smile: "It is a fair competition opponent." Li Xiaole is indeed the same as him. Both want to use the greatest potential of each other's works to see where the limits of these two movies are. "Pi" has helped him hype the box office, and he also hopes that "The Dark Knight" can help "Pi" add a boost to "Pi" and let the film realize its full potential, so that the two sides can compete fairly.
The struggle between Warner and Black Pearl Company is commercial interests, but the directors are a gentleman's fight. No one wants to win in an unfair way. He also really wants Li Xiaole to witness his hard work with his own eyes.
On the morning of December (the morning of the year, almost all entertainment media in the United States were overwhelmingly exaggerating the premiere of three blockbusters tonight.
No matter what audience the three movies target, including Nicholas Cage and Brad Pitt, David Finch, Christopher Nolan~~ With the praise of mainstream media, the three major daily newspapers, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and The Lock Alum Times, the audience can find a reason to watch.
Tonight is not only a festival for movie fans, but has even become one of the important New Year activities for many Americans. During this period, the film market has been boosted by "Pi's Fantasy Drift", and the public's enthusiasm for watching movies can be said to be at its peak.
The media and fans are all excited, David Finch vs Christopher Nolan vs Li Xiaole! Three talented directors are fighting each other!
Following "Golden Compass" vs "Pi's Fantasy Drift" and "I Am a Legend" vs "Pi's Fantasy Drift", Li Xiaole's "miracle movie" ushered in his new opponent, and this time it is Christopher Nolan, who is known as his old enemy~!
On this highly anticipated night, no one expected that the Black Pearl Company and his group attended the event, which held a grand premiere at the China Theater.
Li Xiaole, Tom Cruise, and George Clooney, the three Black Pearls came to support their competitors! When interviewed on the red carpet on the scene, all the flashes and cameras were aimed at the two people who were shaking hands with Li Xiaole and Nolan intimately.
"Director Li Xiaole, why did you come to the premiere of "The Dark Knight"? Are you not worried that this will help Director Nolan's box office? Director Nolan announced that he will win 600 million in North America~" The reporters handed the microphone to Li Xiaole and provoked the two to ask.
"Director Nolan has always been an artist I love. I am very happy to be an ordinary movie fan in person to attend the premiere of this movie." With the attention of fans all over the world, Li Xiaole calmly said in front of the camera:
"I think if "The Dark Knight" can get 600 million in North America, then "The Young Pi" can also get this result."
After saying that, the scene was in an uproar. Isn’t Li Xiaole here to play? Only Nolan hugged Li Xiaole’s shoulder and laughed. The scene of two talented directors of the same era hugging each other at the premiere of "The Dark Knight" has become an eternal classic.
After everyone entered the theater and sat in a seat, Tom Cruise next to him asked Li Xiaole curiously: "Do you think this movie can really surpass "Iron Man"?"
"It's very possible." Li Xiaole smiled and commented pertinently: "The height of the story in this script is too much higher than "Iron Man", and it cannot be compensated by other technologies and performances."
"Ha, maybe." Tom Cruise laughed, disagreed. He didn't believe he would lose to the British actor Bale.
But when the movie started, Tom Cruise couldn't laugh. Nolan used a very unique and depressing music to make this huge movie present a world that was completely different from people's imagination. In the six minutes of the opening, six robbers in the bank started to rob each other while killing each other, which made everyone stunned...
"The criminals in this city once had their own beliefs, honors, respects, look at you, what do you believe? What do you believe? I believe that what didn't kill you will make you... even more strange."
When Heath Ledger on the screen killed all his companions, stuffed his grenade into the officer's mouth, removed the clown mask, and exposed the other "claw" mask, everyone shuddered when he saw his red upward corner of his mouth.
At that moment, Tom Cruise suddenly realized that the opponent he faced was not only Batman played by Bale, but the eternal villain played by Heath Ledger - "Joker"...
In the next two hours, the people in front of the screen completely fell into the crazy Gotham city and became one of them. They felt the horror brought by the clown at all times. The children were trembling in the seats, and the critics also felt their scalp numb.
This movie is not only wonderful, but the character of "Joker" is simply amazing. As an enemy of the gang, he successfully convinced the gang to defect to him. His grasp of human nature penetrated deep into the bone marrow, like a Tai Chi master, taking advantage of the situation and using tricks to achieve such a great existence.
Before he designed the game between the two ships, everything was going according to his expectations, bringing people into that crazy state. On the screen, he smiled and said to everyone: "Look, madness is like gravity, all it takes is a light push."
And when everyone is overwhelmed by the darkness and madness of the clown and feels desperate, the crazy Gotham City on the screen suddenly bursts out the greatest glory of human nature. When everyone can blow up the other party first when they survive, people finally choose to sacrifice themselves.
The most dazzling brilliance in human nature swept across like a flame at noon. The clown created a dark haze that enveloped people's hearts for 2 hours~~
Wow... Whether it was Tom Cruise, Wagner, George Cruise, Lei Ting, and even everyone on the scene, they were extremely excited for a moment, and cheered in their hearts. Nolan was simply amazing~!
As the movie ended, everyone stood up and applauded, sincerely praising the shock this movie brought to them.
"It's so amazing... We're probably no match for Warner this time." Lei Ting took a deep breath and sighed in great relief. This is a work that anyone like her who is not keen on movies finds wonderful.
