Chapter 865: The Clown Reappears

The Dark Knight Rises has been strongly sought after by movie fans before its official release, and the popularity continues to rise as the release date approaches. movie praise.

When the premiere kicked off at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, it could only be described as a sea of ​​people.

Despite the protests of Scarlett Johansson and Tina Fey, Duke showed up in the premiere, but he is not the type to listen to other opinions. Throughout the premiere, from the FBI The two detectives will provide full personal protection for him.

Not only that, there are Duke's personal bodyguards in the outer position. Two professional security companies hired by Warner Bros. will be responsible for the peripheral security. People from the Los Angeles branch of the FBI also control the nearby commanding heights.

In addition, all fans who enter the theater to watch movies must go through security checks.

Now that he has called the police, it is no longer a secret that Duke received death threats. When he and Scarlett walked quickly through the red carpet, many fans chanted their support.

Like all Hollywood premieres, there is nothing too surprising about the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises. Nowadays, not only Hollywood movies are streamlined, but also the premiere.

The only difference is that at the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises, it can be said that all kinds of monsters and ghosts haunted.

Many crazy movie fans dressed up as well-known characters in movies or comics appeared on both sides of the red carpet, such as Batman, Penguin, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, Robin, etc. can be seen everywhere.

However, the clowns are the most numerous. A large number of movie fans are dressed in purple costumes, with a scary red mouth painted on their pale faces.

Walking through the red carpet, Duke looked at the clowns on both sides. He suddenly thought of something, but couldn't catch it amidst the shouts of Duke all around him.

Scarlett immediately noticed Duke's strangeness, and hurriedly asked, What's the matter, dear? What's wrong?

Two FBI agents also quickly walked over.

Duke quickly shook his head at them, It's nothing.

Watch the clowns on both sides of the red carpet. He always felt like he was missing something.

At the end of the red carpet, Duke and Scarlett entered the interview area, where many actors are being interviewed, such as Christian Bale, Dwayne Johnson and Gal Gadot are all chased by reporters .

Duke entered the interview area and immediately attracted many reporters.

The reporter's topic almost all focused on the incident that he received death threats.

Director Rosenberg, what do you think of that threatening email?

Duke, does this change the content of the film?

Listening to the chaotic voices around. Duke had to say quickly, I believe this is just a prank, not that someone really wants to do something to me.

After saying this, with the assistance of bodyguards and two Los Angeles agents, Duke prepared to leave the interview area.

at this time. Another reporter asked loudly, Don't you think it's The Dark Knight that promotes the violence of the clown too much, so that some people follow the example of the clown and send death threats?

Duke looked back at the reporter, and what the other person said was like a key. He opened up his thoughts that had been stagnant just now.

Although his footsteps followed Scarlett Johansson to the group photo area, Duke's thoughts had already turned to other places.

Just like what the reporter said just now. The clown who mailed death threats has been used several times. Some crazy guys may not follow the plot in the film.

This can be said to be deeply felt by Duke. Back then, The Matrix once caused a murder. The reason is that the murderer thinks that he, like Neo, lives in a virtual world and wants to fully awaken.

How influential is the Joker? This is almost a mythical villain!

Duke is very clear that there are many movie fans who adore the Joker crazily, and it is not impossible for some of them to emulate his actions...

Thinking of this, the memories that gradually faded due to the passage of time came back to my mind. The shooting incident in the past seemed to be a clown dressed up or imitated.

After the mechanical puppets took a group photo, Duke walked into the theater and immediately called Tina Fei over.

In the lounge, Duke dismissed the two federal agents, leaving only Scarlett Johansson and Tina Fey.

Tina, you should contact Warner Brothers immediately... He spoke quickly, but still calmly, Let them inform the major theater companies that fans are not allowed to wear the costumes of various characters to watch the movie.

Hearing Duke's words, Tina Fey looked at him in surprise, You know, Duke, this is difficult.

Of course Duke knows that it is difficult. In the mature film market in North America, it is a tradition for movie fans to dress up as various characters to watch movies, and it is also a good way to increase the atmosphere of the movie.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for the cinema company to agree. Tina Fei added.

Forget it... Duke sighed, Let's go back to the cinema.

It's not that it's difficult for theater companies to agree, but they will never agree. Doing so will almost offend the craziest and most powerful movie fans. How could theater companies that pursue profits agree?

Not to mention theater companies, even Warner Bros. would not agree to do so.

If you really follow Duke's words, not to mention other things, how much less merchandise will the film sell? And offend the core audience.

What are you worried about? Scarlett asked.

Mail death threats... Duke knew he needed to explain, Who in The Dark Knight did this?

Tina Fey and Scarlett Johansson said simultaneously, Joker!

Are you worried about the person who issued the death threat... Tina Fey immediately understood Duke's meaning, dressed up as a clown and sneaked into the cinema?

Duke nodded.

Scarlett couldn't help showing a consoling smile, Don't worry, my dear, the premiere has strict security measures, even if he is dressed as a clown, he cannot enter here with weapons.

I'm not worried about this place. Duke shook his head. Have you two forgotten that everyone is the target of death threats! If he doesn't come here, but goes to another theater...

Both Tina Fey and Scarlett Johansson put away their smiles, and there were no security checks in other theaters.

The two then shook their heads again. Although they cared about Duke, they didn't necessarily think the death threat was real, and besides Duke, they didn't care about other aspects.

Let theaters increase security checks and prohibit fans from dressing up as various characters to watch movies? Don't be kidding, they don't run theater companies in North America.

The three exchanged glances, then left the lounge, joined the bodyguards and FBI agents, and walked directly into the theater.

When entering the theater, Tina Fey also exchanged views with the two FBI agents about the death threats between everyone and the clown, but the FBI was not interested in this inexplicable inference, and only said something Cope with words.

The FBI protects Duke only because his identity and status are worth protecting, but Tina Fey's words based on clowns and death threats are taken as crazy by them.

Duke's seat was isolated from the rest of the crew, surrounded by him, Scarlett Johansson, several agents and bodyguards.

The screening of The Dark Knight Rises is coming soon, and many clowns, Batman, Catwoman, and Robin have also walked into the premiere theater. Except for the guests in the front row, the Hollywood Chinese Theater has become a gathering place for demons and ghosts.

Looking back at the packed theater, Duke turned his head and felt that Scarlett gently shook his hand, smiled at her, and gradually turned his eyes to the big screen opposite.

Not far behind him, Sarah from the Los Angeles Times is also looking back first. She knows that Duke has received death threats. The security level of today's premiere has been strengthened by more than two levels. If you sneak into the theater, you must be among the group of demons and ghosts in the back.

It's just that Duke is surrounded by a large number of bodyguards and federal agents, and even if someone wants to do anything, it is basically impossible.

Sarah has been with Duke for many years, and Sarah is still a little worried about the director's safety.

And at the media seat where she is, many reporters are also excitedly looking at the demons and ghosts in the back, and then at Duke Rosenberg in the front row, as if they can't wait to see what happens in this premiere. , preferably super news that can attract the attention of the whole world.

Duke Rosenberg's movie was released and Duke Rosenberg's movie sold well. These are not news for a long time, and the audience is probably numb to such news.

What if Duke Rosenberg was attacked?

Just thinking about this kind of scene, these reporters are as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. Is there any news that is more attractive than this?

They desperately hope that someone can stand up!

Where are the people who can stand up? How will he appear again?

This is not what the reporter thinks about, but what Duke thinks of staring at the big screen that is gradually lighting up. The past may not necessarily appear. After all, when he came to this world, too many people and things in Hollywood have changed.

The movie was about to be shown, and the Chinese Theater in Hollywood gradually changed from noisy to quiet, only a few people dressed as clowns were looking for seats.

Outside the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, a black Ford sedan slowly approached the theater. James Holmes, dressed in a standard clown outfit, calmly observed the situation in the Chinese Theater in Hollywood through the window.

Normally, his attire would have attracted the attention of many people, but now it is commonplace. There are people like clowns everywhere, and James Holmes is unobtrusive.

Gently stepping on the brakes, the black Ford stopped by the side of the road. James Holmes did not get out of the car, but observed the situation patiently. He unconsciously touched the purple costume and found his gun easily.

These are the tools he wants to achieve chaos and pursuit! (to be continued ~^~)
