Chapter 844 Duke's Quotations
On the crew of "The Dark Knight Rises", Christian Bale was not as humble as he was when filming "The Moment of War", but he did not act recklessly. After collaborating with Duke in two consecutive movies, he knew very well what kind of director he was facing. His weight in this crew may not be as good as those assistants who have followed him for a long time.
In fact, Christian Bale was not wrong. If something like the set of "Terminator 4" happened, Duke would definitely not be his own cameraman or anyone else in the team, but Christian Bale, even if he changed the actors for this.
In short, Duke and Christian Bale communicated smoothly. He was more than three levels away from the director of "Terminator 4".
"Bruce Wayne has always felt deeply isolated since he lost his lover Rachel. The death of Harvey Dante and the subsequent out-of-control development made Bruce Wayne even more in a mess. He kept blaming himself for whether all this misfortune happened because of his choice to be Batman."
Looking at the script in hand, Christian Bale discussed his role with Duke. "His faith began to shake, causing him to suffer physical and mental frustration. But how long can he bear such pain? Will these things really affect his life? Will this continue to take him to the path of self-destruction at any time?"
Duke's understanding is that after retiring for so many years and giving up becoming Batman, Bruce Wayne actually sacrificed two identities he once had.
"This time we returned to Batman, we created a man who lost his goal, no mission, no goal that he once firmly strived for."
Sitting behind his desk, Duke looked at Christian Bale and said, "For the character of Batman, my starting point and consistent thinking motivation is that he is a superhero without superpowers besides his wealth. His particularity is ultimately his extraordinary motivation and absolute dedication. These two points have made him great."
"A major feature of this character is also something that people often ignore, which is his wealth."
Close the script, Christian Bale continued Duke's words. "As a wealthy person, few people can fully understand the resources they have, and the rest are easy to understand from the perspective of emotions."
He thought about it and said, "I will grasp the emotional scale of the characters step by step, and naturally and smoothly express the different states of the characters at each stage. I will also do my best to find and study the true feelings of the characters. Now Bruce Wayne is no longer young, and there are still many doubts that bother him. This performance is very meticulous."
Duke nodded in agreement.
Although his temper has increased, Christian Bale's efforts are unquestionable. Since receiving a notice from Duke in the first half of the year, he has been gaining weight and strengthening muscles. He also has to undergo necessary fighting training with Jimmy Carter.
Shortly after Christian Bale left, Duke asked Gal Gadot, who was doing fighting training in the training hall, to come over.
In terms of body shape, Gal Gadot is very suitable for Selena Kyle, but his acting skills are a weakness.
"Sit, Gail."
"Thank you, Director Rosenberg."
When the Israeli actress sat down, Duke didn't talk to her, and went straight to the topic and talked about her role, "I need to find a balance between this classic character image and a character trait that is highly credible and can easily win the audience's favorite. You have to combine the different aspects of these characters naturally and organically, without a sense of division, coexist but not contradictory. It forms a complementary effect between Catwoman and Batman."
Gal Gadot on the opposite side nodded busyly.
"It was not Selena Kyle who really had an impact on Bruce Wayne, but the loneliness that came many years later."
After thinking for a moment, Duke said to Gal Gadot again, "He actually met a woman in his own door who made him feel interesting and charming. He suddenly realized that he was actually still pursuing, although subjectively, he had no consciousness... He had lost all the things in his life that were once full of colors. He needed to contact normal people."
Duke asked her, "Anna has given you the character script, have you read it? Do you have any ideas?"
"I've seen it."
Recalling the character script I read, Gal Gadot said while thinking, "I think Catwoman's outlook on life and morality are gray. It is this gray morality that makes Batman feel quite touched. From a relatively strange perspective, Catwoman's aura corresponds to Batman's aura. The subtle but just right combination of the aura is achieved. Selena Kyle always mocks Batman as if it were vague, which arouses a certain feeling between the two. As for Batman's own dull personality traits, the interaction between Catwoman and him is a bright color, which takes away a lot of depressing and depressing atmosphere."
"No," Duke nodded in agreement, "If you have any questions, please come and ask me anytime."
Although he doesn't like Gal Gadot's character very much, Duke will not treat it differently at work.
Another important role is Bain, but Dwayne Johnson has just passed the audition and has not officially signed the actor contract, so he naturally cannot get the complete role script, so Duke is not in a hurry.
Although Bain is not as well-known as Catwoman, Bain's outrageous evil deeds against Batman made him an infamous person in the minds of all comic versions of Batman fans. He will pose the greatest threat to Batman in both physical and psychological aspects.
This character also has a distinctive feature, which is the huge contrast between shaping sound and body.
In Duke's words, Bain is eloquent, but has a gorilla-like physique, so in addition to showing his excellent eloquence, his overall image is still quite majestic.
Next is the old butler Alfred, who will tell a cruel truth in the film. Gotham City now brings nothing to Bruce Wayne except pain and disaster.
From some aspects, Alfred's point of view is correct. For the audience, Alfred looks at the problem from the perspective of the audience. He is the audience representative and the audience spokesperson.
He is not as strong and unyielding as some people. His reaction is that any normal person will have in such a situation.
While Duke was preparing for the film, as before, Warner Bros.'s publicity and marketing work was already ahead. Since it is not suitable to disclose too much content about the film and characters, Warner Bros. focused its publicity on the director Duke. After years of market proof, they have also seen the huge size of the "Duke Blowers" and the market consumption capacity.
Under the joint instigation of Warner Bros. and Pany Kellis, some of the words Duke said in the past were sorted into "Duke Rosenberg" quotes and placed on the Internet, especially in real-time sharing. As soon as Pu appeared, he became the target of forwarding by everyone.
This "Duke Quotation" does represent some of Duke's true thoughts.
"I would rather make a movie with one person's eager demand than make a movie with only ten people who think it's very stylish."
"Now most comics are like soft pornographic publications. I still miss those traditional storytelling methods. Do you know what I miss? Superpowers. Why can everyone transform the ions in their bodies around, as if a flash of lightning strikes down everyone can become Doctor Strange. Now the girls in the comics are wearing less and less, and they all look like they have breast augmentation. I know I sound like a stubborn old man, but this is true."
"I make movies for the side of my fandom; I make movies to give myself strength; I make movies to experience the life of the characters; I make movies to explore things that usually scare me; I make movies to do what all movie fans fantasize about doing when they see the story."
"I like magic movies, action movies, science fiction movies, and things that won't happen in life are all very interested in, because they are annotations of real life, but in the final analysis, what I am most interested in is the adventure and excitement that movies can bring."
"Every time I shoot someone to death, I feel refreshed and relaxed. Don't call me a 'character killer'. Shakespeare does more things like this than me."
"I originally thought that I came to this earth to make movies, but in the same year, I saw Star Wars, and then I realized, Oh, it turns out that what I want to do, George Lucas has done, it turns out that I have no meaning to come to the earth, I just need to die. It was not until many years later that I muster up the courage to truly enter the movie circle."
"This era is chaotic and disorderly. Everything I create is to hope that the audience can see how humans struggle, struggle and live a decent and noble life in such an era. This is a very difficult process. We often fail, but we never give up. For me, this is the most important message I will always insist on conveying."
"I have been under extremely tremendous pressure in the past two years. Just like when I was sketching, I am now asking me to draw oil paintings, and every decision is over 100 million US dollars. Sometimes I really want to forget all of this."
"No matter how people say the benefits of leaving suspense, in my movie, I hope everything is a complete experience. If I dig a hole for you, I will ignore it, **k. me." (To be continued.)
