Two Hundred and Fifty-Seven-Batman’s Core Concept

Tim Burton walked into the studio, where one shot after another was being shot. This is an abandoned hotel in New York that was rented by the crew and transformed into an indoor studio.

Almost all of the scenes in Arkham Asylum are arranged here.

The small room where the filming was taking place was so quiet that apart from the actors' performances and lines, there was almost no other sound.

Steve Wilson lit the scene, Zack Snyder personally held the microphone, and Robert held the camera and focused on filming the two performing.

In a room in the mental hospital, the gang boss Kaman committed suicide to express his mental problems, so he summoned Jonathan Crane, played by Ralph Fiennes, to visit.

Wayne sat behind the monitor and stared closely at the two people who were performing. This scene is more important. This is the first appearance of the Scarecrow. On the screen, Ralph Fiennes smiled and took out a scarecrow mask from his suitcase.

Before the other party could react, he put on the mask and released poisonous gas on him, turning Kaman into a real psychopath.

He is the famous Scarecrow in DC comics. He is a professor of psychology and a chemistry expert. He is best at torturing people with the poisonous gas he prepares. And behind him, there is the Shadow Warrior Alliance.

At this moment, Robert quickly gave him a close-up shot, completely showing the scarecrow's ferocious face in the shot.

"Cut!" Wayne clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "No problem with this one, Ralph, good job!"

The crew heard him shouting and quickly started to pack their things. The next scene was to film the scene in the lobby on the first floor. The props and scenery had to be arranged in advance. Everything needed for this hotel scene.

"Thank you, Director Greenberg." With the help of the staff, Ralph Fiennes took off his mask. Hearing his compliment, he ran over immediately.

"You don't have many roles left." Looking at this dedicated British actor, Wayne tried hard to get rid of his noseless appearance in his mind, patted his arm and said:

"You will be able to leave the crew in one day at most. Keep your condition. You have performed the Scarecrow perfectly."

"Yes, I will."

This time Ralph Fiennes signed a five-picture deal with Warner Bros. The reason why Wayne did this was because of the little wizard.

And this actor could be considered a handsome guy when he was young. He is still an authentic British gentleman, very malleable, and his acting skills are always online.

Most of this bloodthirsty maniac's screen works are dedicated to villains. The more vicious the villains he plays, the more shadows they leave on people and the more charming they are.

But when he gets serious, I'm afraid no one can resist him. It is said that he has two trump cards, namely, Ralph's "warm smile" and "spell-catching eyes"!

Although he is only a small actor now and can only perform in one "Schindler's List", actors like him, although not big stars, have always been the type that directors love to use.

"Have you finished the interview?" he asked, watching Tim Burton watching from the side, packing up his notebook.

The producer shrugged and walked downstairs with him. "It's all done. Those reporters shouldn't disturb the crew's work. How long will the scenes here last?"

"Two or three days, let's see how the actors perform."

At this time, the first floor has been decorated, the extras are practicing their positions, and the background diners in the restaurant are also sitting in the arranged positions.

This scene is very simple, it is to show Bruce Wayne's superficial nature, and Christian Bale only needs to act like a playboy.

The two blond beauties with long legs had already laid down in the pool in advance and were staring at the director's seat.

Wayne glanced at the two of them inadvertently, sat on the director's chair, and asked the producer next to him: "Where did you find these two beauties? They are not professional actors, are they?"

Just by looking at them, you can tell that these two beautiful women have never filmed before. They have been observing everything in the crew with their big curious eyes.

At the same time, they are also the first focus of the crew's attention. The two women were wearing bikinis, with bulging figures and long legs, attracting almost all the men's attention.

"A contracted model for a lingerie company. Anyway, we only need two large vases that are pleasing to the eye. We don't need them to perform. As long as they are beautiful enough."

Tim Burton thought he was also interested, so he showed a smile that all men knew. He glanced around and whispered: "You can go and make an appointment with them yourself. These two women will definitely accompany you back to the hotel. They are eager to be able to Hook up with a big Hollywood director.”

"Forget it, I don't have that intention right now. I just want to shoot all the shots as soon as possible."

Although this proposal was very exciting, when he thought about Naomi Watts who had just calmed down, he felt that it was better to forget it. The filming was coming to an end and he needed to devote his energy to the final work.

"The lighting is OK!"

"Camera is ready."

"The live recording is no problem."

As all departments were getting ready, Wayne also turned his attention to the set and waved to Zack Snyder, indicating that filming could start at any time.

The score board fell down with a "snap", and the actors instantly entered the performance state.

A waiter in a black suit walked up to Christiane who was dining, bent down and said politely: "Sir, the pool is for decoration, you cannot go swimming in it."

Christian Bale turned his head and glanced at the two beauties playing in the water, with a perfectly frivolous smile on his lips.

Then he raised his head and joked to the waiter: "They are bold European women."

"Now I want to ask you to leave and leave this restaurant." Although the waiter was always polite, he wanted to drive him and the two women out.

As if he didn't hear the other party's words at all, Christian Bale took out his checkbook, lowered his head and filled in a series of numbers on the table, and pulled off the filled-in check.

"Sir, it's useless no matter how much tip you give me..."

"Look." He stood up from the chair and slapped the check directly on the waiter's chest. "I want to buy this restaurant!"

As he spoke, he looked proud, looked at the crowd, and continued with great confidence: "The new rule here is that you can swim in the pool from now on!"

After saying that, he picked up the wine glass, turned around and left the table with a smile.

"Cut! No problem Christian, great job!"

Wayne was obviously very satisfied with this scene, so he didn't allow it to be filmed a second time, and it met his requirements in one take.

After the filming of this scene was completed, the restaurant lost its meaning, and the crew began to change scenes without any regrets.

Today's filming mission went incredibly smoothly. Whether it was the condition of the protagonist or the supporting actors, almost all gave their best performances.

The staff behind the scenes of the crew are also silently speeding up their work efficiency. Everyone knows very well that they must take advantage of the actors' good condition to shoot more footage. The sooner the filming ends, the sooner everyone can take a vacation.

"Gary." Wayne walked up to the actor who played Officer Jim Gordon, and while the staff was packing their things, he told him again: "You are the few remaining rays of brilliance in this decaying city. You must pay attention to expression control during performance.”

"I'll keep an eye out, Director Greenberg."

Gary Oldman nodded cautiously.

Wayne will pay more attention to every scene of this character than usual, because Officer Jim Gordon may be the only upright policeman in the city. In the film, he is still driving a police car even though he is much older. Patrolling the streets, you can see how bad they are.

This character doesn't accept dirty money, but he doesn't report his colleagues because there is corruption all over the city and there is no place to report it.

For this role, Wayne specially chose Gary Oldman, a middle-aged uncle who can give people a sense of trust despite his decadence. If you are a young police officer, you may betray him in the future.

But this police character is destined to die from beginning to end in his next two parts. He represents justice and will never change!

This is also the core concept of Wayne's version of Batman. Its source is a biblical story that is familiar to Westerners, but Eastern audiences may not be familiar with it.

In the Old Testament of the Bible, the city of Sodom was a city of sin, filled with all the imaginable and unimaginable human sins.

God was preparing to destroy the city, but there was a family named Lot who emerged from the mud and remained unsullied, preserving the only remaining kindness in the city.

Therefore, before destroying the city, God asked them to leave here in advance. After Rhodes and his family left the city, God immediately sent down divine punishment, completely erasing this sinful city.

As for Officer Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne’s childhood sweetheart Rachel, one is an upright police officer and the other is an upright novice prosecutor. The two of them represent what little justice remains in Gotham City. .

Although they are weak, they are still worth saving!

This is the core of the values ​​advocated in the first part of Wayne's version of Batman. As long as there is a little bit of hope, no one is qualified to destroy it.

The goal of the villains Kagemusha Alliance is to destroy this sin-filled Gotham City. This creates the most fundamental ideological conflict with Bruce Wayne's values, which is the so-called dramatic tension.

"Wayne, you're all ready, do you want to start now?" Zack Snyder interrupted his trance and pointed to the crew who were ready.

"Okay, let's start. If the shots here can be finished today, then we can complete all the shooting tasks this week at the latest. Let me tell you, if you want to start the holiday early, then give me your best condition. take it out!"
