Chapter 651: Walking Into Gotham
In Gotham, the folk customs are extremely simple, so many outstanding people such as Batman, Joker, Penguin, Two-Face, Harley Quinn and Scarecrow can appear one after another.
If you are a lunatic in any country or region in the world, if you can't get along in the local area, please come to Gotham City. Big Gotham not only guarantees successful employment, but also provides you with a broad stage to flex your muscles.
Especially in Christopher Nolan's Gotham City, lunatics can play to their heart's content without worrying about their lives being in danger.
However, it has to face fierce competition from the natives of Gotham. After all, Gotham is definitely a place with outstanding people.
Don't you see that there are poems to prove it:
"The folk customs are simple and honest in Gotham City, Arkham is full of talented people, and the real murderer is Blackgate Prison.
The insane clown, the sexy thief and the beautiful catwoman, and the lustful and greedy penguin.
The two-faced man in hell and heaven, the riddle man with clues and crimes, and the frozen man who loves each other.
The mean and shameless Scarecrow, the ever-changing slime, and the environmentalist Poison Ivy.
Broken-back maniac and poisonous Bain, a man who doesn't agree with what he says, and a deformed animal killer crocodile.
Crazy, witty and beautiful Harley, extremely narcissistic Mad Hatter, Lei Xiaogu with undying ambition. "
It's a pity that Laomei, a group of country bumpkins, can't appreciate the profound beauty of oriental poetry, and Ronan really can't translate it into English, so it can't be used for the promotion of "Batman: Beginning of War".
But Theory of Relativity Entertainment occupies the investment of up to 100 million US dollars and the corresponding revenue share of this film. How can we not think of some special methods for publicity?
Ronan collaborated with Warner Bros. to prepare a special program very early, and at the same time shared it with Netflix Video and Netflix through multiple TV stations and launched it in North America in order to make Gotham City, which is simple and outstanding, the most famous in the world. A five-A-level tourist city.
The video was launched in early July, and it caused a strong sensation once it came out.
In this short promotional video, an enthusiastic Gotham citizen leads the audience on a tour of Gotham City.
"Hello, everyone, and welcome to the show "Into Gotham."
Appearing in the video is a man with a bat dart scar on his face and a bruised nose: "I am Anthony, who has won the Gotham Honorary Citizen Award and the Arkham Outstanding Contribution Award,
Not much gossip, let's take everyone into Gotham. "
"I think everyone knows Gotham's great reputation. Our Gotham City is a city with simple folk customs. As an honorary citizen, I am very proud of it. In addition, Gotham has a lot of successful people, many of whom are world-famous. As As a small employee who came out of the Arkham talent market, I will use 200% enthusiasm to lead everyone into Gotham and appreciate the charm of Gotham."
One after another, shadowy buildings and neighborhoods appear on camera, accompanied by Anthony's introduction.
The camera follows Anthony's figure, passing through the desolate streets, full of closed gates and litter, which looks a bit horrible.
But as an honorary citizen of Gotham and the recipient of the Arkham Outstanding Contribution Award, Anthony has his own explanation.
"Well, it's actually nothing, because in order not to affect the business of colleagues in Gotham City, the outstanding contributors work very scattered hours, which leads to the fact that there are not a few hours in a day that are suitable for going out."
Just happened to come to a place where green plants were growing wildly, Anthony changed the subject wittyly.
"Look, looking at the greenery here, I have to say that the scenery of our Gotham City is very beautiful. The spokesperson of our city image is Ms. Poison Ivy, an environmental guard, so you can imagine the appearance of our city streets. The greenery is fantastic."
The camera pans to the sky, and the dark sky looks abnormal.
Anthony said in a timely manner: "This is a major feature of our Gotham. It is cloudy all year round, and it is very suitable for dead houses who don't want to go out."
The cameraman turned back to the camera helplessly. This kind of Gotham is really special in Anthony's mouth, especially when he focuses on introducing the scenic spots of Gotham.
"As for Gotham's famous attractions, there are really too many, such as the flammable and explosive Wayne Manor, everyone should know about it? Actually, I think Mr. Wayne may be the only one in the world who doesn't know that he is Batman. Bar."
"Ace Chemicals, the place where the Joker and Harley Quinn started from scratch. Concentrated acid dyes can whiten the skin without harming the skin. You deserve it."
"Also, my alma mater, Arkham, is a key non-formal spiritual school. Although it does not accept students from other cities all the year round, Mr. Wayne, as the school's largest shareholder, introduces some talented, intelligent and malleable talents to enter the school all the year round. Studying in this school, the alma mater has a strong learning atmosphere and a friendly relationship between teachers and students.”
While Anthony was speaking, an unusually dark building appeared in the camera.
"Over the years, Arkham alma mater has cultivated countless talents, all of whom have become the pillars of Gotham City..."
The camera zoomed away and began to look down on the entire Gotham City, and Anthony's voice became a voiceover.
"Of course, there are also unfinished buildings with a very Gothic style, small banks, circuses, sewers, there are shows every day, good shows are never afraid of late, just in case you miss them..."
Suddenly, the picture goes black, and Anthony's voice-over disappears.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The weird laughter sounded, making people creepy.
The laughter disappeared again, and another sound, made by the same person as the laughter, appeared.
"Shh-"
A strange hoarse voice broke into everyone's ears.
Suddenly, the blacked-out screen lighted up again, it was a pale and terrifying face.
"Gotham Tourism Ambassador Joker, I sincerely wish you all the best of luck.
"Hahahahahaha!"
Another burst of creepy laughter.
The video ended, leaving only a concluding sentence.
"Gotham City is the last stop of your life journey, and you are sincerely welcome here."
As a promotional video, "Into Gotham" has aroused strong reactions on the Internet, and many netizens even called on Warner Bros. and DC Comics to continue the program for a long time, so that people can experience the honest folk customs and outstanding people of Gotham carefully. .
This also drove the enthusiasm and attention of "Batman: Beginning of War".
Even the theaters have more confidence in this film.
Batman's previous failures not only brought different opinions from fans, but also doubts from theaters. Even if Ronan's name was listed in the film's producer column, it could not completely offset "Batman and Luo Nan". Bin's negative impact.
Similarly, there are many people who like and look forward to Batman.
After all, this is Master Wayne!
Decades have passed since the comic book character Batman first appeared in Detective Comics magazine.
However, this character has not gradually faded out of people's sight with the changes of the times, but has become fuller with the baptism of the years and has the vitality of the times. "
So far, Batman's story has been revised many times.
Not only has Batman's image and equipment changed, but his style is also very different.
In the past, Batman was a smiling friend of justice and a knight who won easily. With the changes of the times, his reality and limitations have been strengthened, and his enemies have become stronger, cunning and crazy than before.
Batman's mental trauma has been repeatedly emphasized, and he has become more and more hesitant and lonely, increasingly paranoid and dark.
Frank Miller's comic "The Dark Knight Returns" is typical.
As the release approaches, a lot of reviews of Batman's past and present have appeared on many print media and online media. Warner Bros. is obviously using this method to reawaken the public's attention to this famous superhero.
There is no doubt that Superman is the most far-reaching superhero of DC Comics in the world, and Batman is the only comic hero in DC Comics that can compete with Superman in popularity.
In the past few decades, Warner Bros. has occupied half of the Hollywood superhero movie market with Superman and Batman alone.
Although the movies of these two heroes have been sunk for too long, there is definitely no lack of attention.
The sky gradually dimmed, and the lights illuminated every inch of the red carpet, but they couldn't change the deep blackness of the starry sky above.
Suddenly, in the pitch-black sky, a bright light shot upwards, as if something flew up into the sky, and in the astonished eyes of countless people, the light gradually converged, and finally turned into a huge monster in the sky. bat shape.
"This is... Batman!"
Some people were skeptical at first, then confirmed, and then there was a tsunami-like voice at the premiere: "Batman is here! The bat light is on again! The master is back!"
The voice changed from chaotic to orderly, and gradually spread to Yunchu, as if the citizens of Gotham who had been devastated by crime in the comics were calling for their guardians.
But how could there be Batman in the real world? Where, if anything, is Bruce Wayne?
The roar of the motor suddenly sounded, and the sound came from far to near. Many people stood on tiptoe and looked at the intersection. They were not disappointed. After only a few seconds, a pure black prehistoric monster turned to the road where the theater was located. , gradually approaching the red carpet, many movie fans can finally witness this Batmobile that has already shown enough limelight in the trailer.
Then the Batmobile stopped in front of the red carpet, the door automatically opened, and Bruce Wayne in a suit... No, it should be Christian Bale, surrounded by countless flashing lights, stepped out of the Batmobile and stepped onto the red carpet.
This ingenious debut ceremony specially designed for the leading actor instantly stole the limelight from everyone.
From the lighting up of the sky to summon Batman, to Christian Bale stepping off the Batmobile, but in just a few minutes, the atmosphere of the premiere scene was pushed to a climax. That wonderful world is average.
It seems that everyone has felt the simple folk customs of Gotham, and it seems that everyone wants to enter Arkham to complete self-sublimation.
Perhaps Gotham is also a portrayal of America.
Romantic America, gun battles every day.
Someone who once lived in the United States said that the air in the United States is rich in iron.
