America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 382: I'm Too Indulged in the Acting

As Nolan appeared, the chaotic studio quieted down. Bruce accompanied Martin to a corner, opened a bottle of iced Coke and handed it to him: "Drink it, drinking something sweet will help you calm down."

Martin took a big sip. The Coke was icy and refreshing, just like when he beat Bell up just now.

In the scene where Batman beats up the Joker, although Martin did not suffer any substantial harm, he suffered a lot.

It hurts to fly out and fall to the ground!

Not only did he feel physical pain, but he also suffered mental damage, which left him unable to sleep well for two consecutive nights. He could only seek comfort from Elena.

Bruce seemed to be infected and immersed in the role: "Don't worry, no one can hurt you with me here."

Martin sat down in a chair, drank half a bottle of Coke, and acted as a spectator.

Bell was still lying on the ground, murmuring, "No! Don't hurt me, don't hurt me..."

As if he was greatly stimulated.

The crew's doctor rushed over and gave Bale a preliminary physical examination. Apart from the fallen teeth, his other injuries were not serious.

Martin's moves were measured.

But the most serious injury to Bell was not physical, but mental.

"Don't hurt me!" Bell used both hands to cover his vital parts: "Don't hurt me..."

Nolan whispered a few words to the doctor and exchanged a glance. Emma Thomas understood and personally led Mene and others to the door of the studio and closed the door of the studio and the nearby emergency passage.

Another doctor came over to Martin and asked, "Mr. Davis, you..."

Martin pointed to his shoulders and chest: "It hurts a lot." He shook his head: "I feel a little dizzy."

The doctor quickly called someone over.

Director Nolan rushed over immediately and asked, "Martin, are you okay?"

Martin shook his head: "Batman's fists are very powerful." He asked for advice and said: "Director, I want to call the police. I was attacked and the other party threatened to kill me."

Emma Thomas came over quickly, squatted in front of Martin, and said, "Give us some time to deal with it, okay? I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

The clown makeup was still on, and Martin's face was pale: "Emma, ​​Chris, I believe you. You can not call the police for the time being, but this matter can't end like this."

Emma Thomas promised: "It will never end like this."

Nolan looked back at Bell, who was muttering to himself neurotically. There were more than a dozen behind-the-scenes staff and extras in the studio. They all saw what had just happened. Not only did Bell start the fight first, hitting Martin twice in a row, he also frantically shouted that he wanted to kill Martin.

Those actors from Atlanta are definitely on Martin's side.

Thinking of this, Nolan couldn't help but look at Bell again. This guy was really troublesome to the point of making such a fuss.

Or is it that I am too immersed in the role?
Nolan suddenly had an idea, but it was not appropriate now. It was more important to deal with the matter at hand first.

While Martin was being comforted on one side, Bell was giving people a huge headache on the other side.

People who have neurotic attacks and talk nonsense are simply unreasonable.

Emma Thomas also did not forget to warn everyone in the studio that according to their contracts, nothing that happened during the filming was allowed to be disclosed to the media without the crew's consent.

Bell was taken to the hospital.

After Martin removed his makeup, he went to the hospital for a check-up. He kept saying he felt dizzy and had heart discomfort, and even stayed in the hospital temporarily.

Bruce went to get information, and when he came back he said, "Bell lost a few teeth, and the rest of his injuries were just skin injuries, but the doctor thinks he has suffered a major mental trauma, and needs to see a doctor who specializes in psychological and psychiatric treatment, and he can't be stimulated for the time being."

Martin nodded and asked, "What about the crew?"

"Emma Thomas has issued a gag order, and Charles Rowan and Orlin are coming from Los Angeles." Bruce said roughly, "Nolan may have some ideas, and he said he wants to talk to you alone later."

Martin was not surprised at all: "Nolan is not only an outstanding director, but also has great ideas in other areas."

And this drama happened in Nolan's style.

There was a knock on the door and Bruce went to open it.

Robert, with his slicked-back hair and big head, walked into the ward, put down the flowers in his hand, and asked, "Martin, are you okay?"

Martin smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Robert knew Martin for a long time and knew that he would be fine. He immediately took out a disk and handed it to Bruce: "This is a video shot on the spot by an extra. As soon as she came out, I asked for the camera. She didn't have time to make a copy. There is only this version."

Bruce put it away: "In case you need it?"

Robert was confident: "There is nothing wrong with them. They are all from Atlanta and have families."

Martin said, "I can trust you to do the work."

Robert added, "Jerome and Hart wanted to come see you, but I stopped them." Martin thought for a moment and said, "If they want to come, let them come."

Robert didn't stay long and soon said goodbye and left.

Bruce found a laptop and watched the video. The angle and clarity were good, and it faithfully recorded the entire process of the conflict from beginning to end.

Bell can be clearly heard yelling, "I'm going to kill you!"

Martin said, "Keep it, I hope you won't need it."

Bruce asked, "Do you think Nolan can handle this?"

"If it's Emma Thomas and Charles Roven, maybe not." Martin has fully witnessed Nolan's abilities beyond filmmaking in the past few months. He said: "What I prepared is based on Nolan's ideas. He is a very good director and will not miss it."

…………

A few hours later, Bale's agent Parker walked into the Dark Knight crew's office at the Gray Film and Television Center and met with director Nolan and producer Charles Roven.

"I just came back from the hospital and saw Bell. He is in a very bad condition." Parker did not get any useful information from the neurotic Bell. He reported the specific situation to the company and informed Bell's wife. Then he came over and asked for the blame: "The crew must be responsible for all this!"

Nolan replied: "We will not shirk the responsibility of the crew." He picked up the remote control and played the video he had shot before: "Take a look at the live footage first."

Parker put his hands on his hips to make himself more imposing: "No matter what happened, it is an established fact that my client was harmed..."

Before he could finish his words, his attention was drawn to the video on the LCD screen opposite him.

Bell came over from the studio door, attacked Martin Davis, and yelled that he wanted to kill Martin Davis. Martin Davis was forced to fight back after being attacked by Bell twice in a row...

Parker unconsciously lowered his hands from his waist. What happened to the crew? Is Bale crazy?
Nolan continued: "Martin wanted to call the police, but I stopped him. The crew had a hard time calming him down."

Parker stared at the video screen and heard Bell's almost crazy roar.

He shouted that he would kill Martin and even did it!

Nolan added: "Martin was also injured. He described his heart as not feeling well and his head was dizzy. He is in hospital for observation. If he insists on calling the police, Bell will be in great trouble."

He deliberately lowered his voice: "Not only the crew from Los Angeles were present, but also more than a dozen extras from Atlanta. Martin is from Atlanta. If they were asked to testify, Bell would be in a very passive position, and the crew would have no good solution."

Parker's attitude changed automatically, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Not to mention that Bale is mentally stimulated now. Judging from the video, even if Martin Davis seriously injured Bale in the counterattack, it would not be a big problem.

In this matter, Bale is 100% at fault.

Seeing Parker's softening attitude, Nolan further said: "I personally have a feeling that Bale and Martin are too involved in the role. Maybe the confrontation and hatred between Batman and the Joker has extended to the two actors."

He first picked out the crew and himself: "I counsel the two actors every day and ask them questions every half a day. The crew also arranged for relatives and friends to visit the set to help them relax. But Bell's family seems to have some problems. The last time Hebe came to visit, the two had a serious quarrel."

As a new-age director with outstanding shooting and production skills and other talents, Nolan put the blame back on Bale.

Parker could tell that if he held the crew accountable, the crew might ask Martin to hold Bale accountable.

"I will not report it to the actors' union and the insurance company for now." Parker listened to the conversation between Martin and Bale in the video and said, "Bale probably didn't do it on purpose. I think he and Martin were both too immersed in the role."

In the video, the conversation between the two is very similar to that between Batman and the Joker: "The relationship between Batman and the Joker seriously affected the two actors. Bale is not the kind of actor who would actively hurt others."

Nolan replied, "I think so too. The crew will cover all their medical expenses."

"This was a complete accident. Bell didn't really mean to hurt Martin, and Martin has always been friendly to Bell." Charles Roven said: "Everyone in the crew can prove this. Martin treats Bell very kindly..."

When Parker came, he contacted some acquaintances in the crew, which was very disadvantageous to Bale.

According to those people, Martin always greeted Bell with a smile, introduced his friends to him enthusiastically, and was very friendly.

However, Bell always treated Martin coldly and showed hostility several times.

Not only them, but the extras from Atlanta also talked a lot about it.

Charles Roven said: "The only thing that affected their relationship was that they were too immersed in the play and the conflict between the characters."

As soon as he arrived, he contacted a third party to guarantee that the remaining action scenes of Bale could be completed by the stunt double in the bat suit in half a morning.

As for personal insurance and the like, it depends on how the negotiation is done, especially Martin’s personal attitude, which is the key.

Nolan said: "The key is still with Martin. Once he calls the police, the trouble for the crew will be secondary. Bell..."

"We'll talk later." Parker wanted to know more.

But after careful investigation, apart from the rumors about the crew, other aspects were extremely unfavorable to Bale.

If this matter is not handled properly, it may seriously affect Bale's acting career.

The prerequisite is that Bell's mental state can stabilize.
