"If Wayne Greenberg is an alternative in the Hollywood assembly line with serious homogeneity, then "The Joker" is the most ambitious sincerity masterpiece in the genre. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that this is a dark epic!

Looking at the whole film, in terms of script writing, performance, director and conceptualization, it has exceeded the social height that a comic-adapted movie should have, and you can even understand all social problems in North America from this movie alone!

This DC comic adaptation masterpiece planned by Wayne Greenberg, although it has a villain as the protagonist, and there are almost no positive characters in the whole film. It fully demonstrates the indifference and hypocrisy of the upper class society, and the cruelty and ignorance of the lower class society.

This tells us that all those who are insulted and murdered, bullied and exploited may become "clowns" once they are twisted and crazy! Therefore, this film is also a warning to North American society!" ----Roger Albert, "Chicago Sun Panel".

The leader of the film critic, once a Pulitzer Prize winner, not only gave "The Joker" a full score of ten in the column, but also gave the iconic thumbs up!

And these film critics’ media columns are just a small part of all kinds of praise. Starting from Saturday morning, professional film magazines such as "Premiere", "Los Angeles Daily Entertainment", "Hollywood Reporter", and "Movie Weekly" are also one-sided praise!

"It's not a superhero movie at all. You can think of it as a crime movie with the bottom-level petty citizen as the protagonist. This is definitely the most profound analysis of human nature in the comic-adapted movie." -- The Washington Post

"The film has an excellent atmosphere for Gotham City, dark and wet roads, garbage streets, and an riotous atmosphere. Such an environment, coupled with a miserable life experience, a bad day is enough to force an honest and poor person into the abyss, from rationality and kindness to numbness and madness, and every step of the transformation is real and credible."--"Movie Weekly"

"This movie continues Wayne Greenberg's usual production style, with gloomy and twisted humanity, ups and downs, and the characters are full of struggles, madness, and accusations. Let this film of more than two hours, every movie fan will be thought-provoking..."--"abc Daily News"

During Saturday day, after a wide range of praise from fans yesterday and the recommendation of various media from various media early in the morning, "The Joker" has far exceeded the "Jueling Wind" which was released at the same time, and has become the most popular film this weekend without any suspense.

Movie fans have herd mentality. The more they sell long queues of movies, the more they can arouse the herd mentality and curiosity of ordinary movie fans. Then they buy tickets and queue to find out.

As the reporter who interviewed Wayne Greenberg the most, Bella Grant drove out a special report overnight and successfully published it in the Los Angeles Times where he worked.

This special report similar to the movie viewing guide is extremely inflammatory. Its fundamental purpose is to arouse the public's curiosity and allow more people to enter the theater to buy tickets...

It is important to attract as many viewers as possible to enter the theater for a movie that has been released, but it is also important to guide the audience who have watched it to watch it repeatedly and gradually interpret the sense of participation of the film series.

Warner Bros. did this kind of public opinion guidance from the beginning. They did not relax at all about publicity and marketing. The second day after the film was released, it began to throw suspense through the media and seduce fans who have watched it to find the answer again...

At lunch time on Saturday, all the data that had been counted were sent to New York by fax and handed over to Wayne through the hands of the agent Jimmy.

After seeing this simple two-page printing paper for the first time, not only Wayne himself, but also Harry Berry, who was working together in the publicity work, and producer John knew that although this film caused a small amount of debate, its overall reputation has been rising all the way, and the box office has shown a high opening and high closing trend!

No matter what the point is, it indicates that Wayne will create a summer bomb this time. At least in North America, which has been released, it will definitely crush all the videos released at the same time!

"The first day's box office is 39.35 million US dollars, my god, Wayne, now God can't stop us!" Harry Berry opened and closed his mouth unconsciously, and looked at him with a dull expression.

"In the random survey of Warner Bros., more than 96% of the audience gave a score of A or above. Such a terrifying public reputation indicates that the film must have a strong box office trend. Wayne, you succeed again, this time it will be more powerful than all the previous successes!"

Warner Bros. producer John hugged him. The information expressed by these data has made the publicity team's emotions rise directly!

Looking at the excited people around him, Wayne's hand was also shaking excitedly with the fax. This achievement is definitely an unprecedented bomb in this era.

As for the future no one, Wayne dared not think about it. There will be another box office bomb at the end of this year. At that time, it will be necessary to compare the dinosaur and his clown to know who is higher and lower.

"Okay, friends! There are still many publicity activities waiting for us, it's too early to be happy!" Thinking of the next series of activities, Wayne immediately felt a headache and calmed down.

When flying in one city or even two cities a day, almost getting off the plane, it is endless interviews with reporters, interviews with local TV stations and meetings with fans, and even sleeping time is put on the plane. This is the test they will face during this period.

Therefore, it is never easy to get a movie with a high box office.

The good news will certainly make people excited, but soon Wayne and the others appeared in a theater in New York. This was a fan meeting and the last stop of the New York promotional event of "The Joker".

Faced with the siege of reporters after the event, Wayne could think that it would be more difficult for Nicholas Cage and others. After all, he is the male protagonist of this film and the most popular person.

"Director Greenberg, whether it is the previous two films or the "Joker" is full of black attributes."

Just after Wayne left the theater gate, a fat reporter stopped him and held the recorder in front of him and asked loudly: "Since you appeared in Hollywood, all the films you shot are filmed are film noir. Does this mean that you will not be able to make movies normally after leaving such dark stories?"

"There are already many directors who have taken sweet social shots! I want to try to reflect some real social problems in the film, which has nothing to do with whether I like dark stories or not."

The main purpose of his trip was to promote it. Of course, he was willing to cooperate with the media to give them something that could be promoted and hyped. Wayne looked at the agent and found that Jimmy did not urge it, which means that the time was enough to catch up with the plane.

So he took the reporter's recorder, thought for a while and asked: "The story core of the black attribute is just a way of expression of the movie. From the box office feedback, popular movie fans can also accept such a serious pastime. Don't you think that movies noir are also very elegant and beautiful?"

Without waiting for the reporter to continue asking questions, Wayne continued: "Film noir has never lacked audiences, nor has classics. Roman Polansky's Chinatown, Billy Wilder's Sunset Avenue, John Houston's "The Eagle of Malta," I am just following the paths that those masters have walked, wanting to make a film like this.

The artistic expression of film noir is as elegant and charming as the black pearl beside me. It explores the darkness and evil in the depths of our human nature, and explores how real society can overwhelm the kind side of human nature and swallow up."

I feel that what I said seems a bit difficult to understand for the reporter, so he said again. "Film noir can allow the public to understand the darkness of human nature in reality, and also allow movie fans to enjoy the exquisite story arrangement, and discover and understand the evil in human nature and the darkness of society. For me, this is a pleasure!"

It has been more than twenty years since Wayne came here. He is very glad that he has watched so many genres on the other side of the Pacific Ocean where there is no space for noir to live.

On the contrary, films with this attribute have always been short of audiences in the mature film market in North America. Even on a global scale, this type of film is not short of crazy fans.

The reporter obviously didn't like his expression very much and continued to ask: "As far as I know, many movie fans have become very negative after watching "The Joker" and have lost hope of hard work in life. What do you think about this?"

"How fragile are those who have lost hope for life just because they watch a movie? As far as I know, more movie fans have obviously cherished their lives more after watching "The Joker". Many people were inspired by Arthur's experience!"

After saying this, Wayne stopped answering the reporter's questions and hurriedly walked towards the car, preparing to rush to the airport to fly to the next city of Boston.

The first-day box office numbers and explosive audience reputation of "The Joker" are inevitably regarded as gimmicks of publicity and hype by Warner Bros., which will arouse the curiosity of more passers-by and let them enter the theater.

The audience who have watched the video spontaneously recommends various amendments to their friends circles, which has also led more and more people to enter the theater and queue up to watch this film that has become a hot topic in society as soon as it was released.

At the same time, black communities like downtown Los Angeles have also started another movie viewing frenzy, with black buddies queuing up to enter the theater to buy tickets to watch movies. The last time this situation occurred, it can be traced back to "Escape from the Deadly Town" a year ago.
