257 - The Core Idea of ??Batman

Tim Burton walked into the studio, filming one by one inside. This was an abandoned hotel in New York. After being rented out by the crew, it was transformed into an indoor studio.

Among them, the scenes of Arkham Asylum are almost all arranged here.

The small room being filmed was quiet, and there was almost no other sound except the actors' performances and lines.

Steve Wilson was watching the light, Zach Schneider personally held the radio microphone, and Robert was holding the camera, focusing on shooting at the two people performing.

In a room in the mental hospital, the gangster boss Kaman used suicide to express his mental problems, and summoned Jonathan Klein, played by Ralph Feince, to visit.

Wayne sat behind the monitor, staring at the two people performing. This scene is more important. This is the first appearance of the scarecrow. Ralph Fiennes smiled and took out a scarecrow mask from his suitcase.

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

He is a famous scarecrow in DC comics, a psychology professor and chemistry expert, and is best at torturing people with the poisonous gas he modifies. Behind him is the Shadow Warriors Alliance.

At this moment, Robert quickly gave him a close-up shot, presenting the scarecrow's hideous face in the camera.

"cut!" Wayne clapped his hands and shouted loudly: "This one is fine, Ralph, it's a good job!"

The crew members heard him shouting and quickly started to pack up their things. The next scene was to film the first floor lobby, and the props and sets must be arranged in advance. Everything needed for this hotel scene.

"Thank you, Director Greenberg." Ralph Fiennes took off his mask with the help of the staff, heard his praise and ran over immediately.

"You don't have much scene." Looking at the dedicated British actor, Wayne tried hard to drive away his noseless appearance in his mind, patted his arm, and said:

"At most one day, you can leave the crew and keep your form in good shape. The scarecrow is played perfectly by you."

"Okay, I will."

This time, Ralph Fiennes and Warner Brothers signed a contract for five films. Wayne did this because he also considered the little wizard.

Moreover, this actor was a handsome guy when he was young. He was also an authentic British gentleman with very strong plasticity and his acting skills were always online.

This bloodthirsty maniac is dedicated to the villain on most of his screen works. The more vicious the villain he plays, the more shadow he leaves, the more charming it is.

But when he became serious, no one could resist it. It is said that he has two killer weapons, namely Ralph's "warm smile" and "soul-capturing eyes"!

Although he is still a young actor now and only has one movie called "Schindler's List", although he is not a big star, he has always been the kind that directors like to use.

"After the interview?" He asked while watching Tim Burton watch on the side, packing his record book.

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

"It takes two or three days to see the actors' performance."

At this time, the first floor had been laid out, and the extras were practicing walking, and the background diners in the restaurant were also sitting in the arranged seats.

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

The two blond and long-legged beauties had already lie in the pool in advance and were staring at the director position.

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

Just take a look at it and you will know that these two beautiful women have never filmed a movie. They have been watching everything in the crew with their big curious eyes.

At the same time, they are also the crew members, the first gathering point for their eyes. These two women are wearing bikini and have long legs bulging in front and back, which attracts almost all men's attention.

"A contracted model for an underwear company, we only need two large vases to enjoy, and we don't need them to perform. Just be beautiful enough."

Tim Burton thought he was also interested, and showed a smile that men knew, looked around and whispered: "You can go and have an appointment with them yourself. These two women will definitely accompany you to the hotel. They are eager to get on with the Hollywood director."

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

Although this proposal is quite exciting, he thought of Naomi Watts who had just calmed down, so he thought it would be better to forget it. The shooting has come to an end and he also needs to devote his energy to the final work.

"Lights OK!"

“The camera is ready.”

“There is no problem with live radio.”

As all departments were ready, Wayne also focused on the set and waved to Zach Schneider, indicating that filming could start at any time.

The record card fell down and the actors instantly entered the performance state.

The waiter in a black suit walked to Christian who was dining, carrying his back, bent down and said politely: "Sir, the pool is for decoration and cannot go down to swim."

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 looked up 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 polite, he wanted to drive him and the two women out.

It seemed that he hadn't heard the other party at all. Christian Bale took out the check book, lowered his head and filled in a string of numbers on the table, and pulled off the filled-in check.

"Sir, it's useless to tip me at most..."

"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 said that, he looked at the onlookers, and continued confidently: "The new rule here is that you can swim in the swimming pool in the future!"

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

"cut! No problem, Christian, beautifully done!"

Wayne was obviously very satisfied with this scene, so he didn't let the filming continue for the second time, and met his requirements once.

After the filming of this scene, the restaurant lost its meaning and the crew began a transition without any nostalgia.

Today's shooting mission was incredible. Neither the protagonist's state nor the supporting actors who played the role, they almost all performed the best.

The staff behind the crew are also silently accelerating their work efficiency. Everyone is very clear that they must take more camera materials while the actors are in good condition. The earlier the shooting work is over, the sooner everyone will have a holiday.

"Gary." Wayne walked to the actor who played Officer Jim Gordon, and took advantage of the gap between the staff packing things and told him: "You are the little bit of glory left in this decadent city. Be sure to pay attention to the expression control during the performance."

"I'll notice, Director Greenberg."

Gary Oldman nodded cautiously.

Wayne will pay more attention to every scene of this character than usual, because Officer Jim Gordon is probably the only upright policeman in the city. In the film, he is very old and is still driving a police car to patrol the streets, which shows how bad he is.

This character does not charge dirty money, but does not report his colleagues, because the whole city is embezzling and there is no place to report it.

For this role, Wayne specially chose Gary Oldman, a middle-aged uncle who is decadent and can give people a sense of trust. If he is a young policeman, there is still a possibility of rebellion in the future.

But this police character, in his subsequent two plots, was determined to die from beginning to end. He represents justice and will never change!

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

In the Old Testament of the Bible, Sodom is a city of sin, filled with all the sins of human beings that you can imagine and unimaginable.

God is ready to destroy the city, but there is a family named Rhodes who is out of the mud and preserves the only remaining goodness of the city.

Therefore, before destroying the city, God asked them to leave here early. When the Rhodes and his family left the city, they immediately lowered the divine punishment and completely erased the city of sin.

Officer Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne's childhood sweetheart Rachel, one is an upright policeman and the other is an upright novice prosecutor. The two of them represent the remaining little justice in this Gotham city.

Although they are weak, they are still worthy of being saved!

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

The goal of the great villain Shadow Warriors Alliance is to destroy this sinful city. This is to create the most fundamental conceptual conflict with Bruce Wayne's values, which is the so-called dramatic tension.

"Wayne, you're ready, are you starting now?" Zach Schneider interrupted his trance and pointed to the ready crew.

"Okay, let's start. If the shots here can be finished today, then we can complete all the shooting tasks at the latest this week. Let me tell you that if you want to start the holiday in advance, then you will give me the best state!"
