American fame and fortune

Warner Studios, Martin wore a long cloak, and accompanied by Thomas, came to the Dark Knight studio and entered a dressing room.

Thomas has already communicated with the crew.

An assistant from the crew came over and said, "Please wait a moment, I will come to inform you before the audition starts."

Martin lowered his head and did not speak.

Thomas replied, "Thank you."

When the door closed, Martin suddenly looked up and smiled at Thomas.

Thomas's heart tightened, and he quickly turned around and sat with his back to Martin.

In the past few days, he always had nightmares at night. There was a white-faced and red-mouthed monster who stuffed a big bomb under his ass. The bomb exploded and he flew into the sky. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't land until he woke up in shock.

Bruce leaned against the wall holding Martin's phone.

The text message alert sounded suddenly, he took it out and looked at it, and said to Martin, "Robert is ready."

Martin laughed: "My high priest, launched the blessing ceremony again."

Thomas didn't understand the meaning of this, and looked at Bruce in surprise.

Bruce shook his head and didn't say much.

The less people know about this tried and tested thing, the better.

Besides, Martin is asshole enough, let's not turn into a cult leader or something.

…………

In the audition room on the other side, many producers and director Nolan of the crew gathered together.

Oscar winner Adrien Brody's makeup audition just ended.

The acting skills are not bad, but Nolan always feels that something is missing. In short, the indescribable impression is not very good.

Emma Thomas said: "Thank you for your wonderful performance, we will inform you of the audition results as soon as possible."

"Okay." Adrian said goodbye and left the audition room.

Nolan looked at Charles Rowan and Orlin, and the latter said: "I can't explain why, similar to Josh Brolin in front, I feel that his performance is missing something."

Charles Rowan answered: "I don't have the kind of indomitable and desperate energy."

Emma Thomas said directly: "They didn't prepare enough in the early stage, and they generally behaved normally when they auditioned."

Louise sat in the back row and didn't express her opinion, but she knew that these people's psychology had been affected to some extent.

A 10% psychological deviation in the early stage may cause several times the impact.

Emma Thomas said, "Let Martin Davis come over."

An assistant will be notified immediately.

Not long after, the door of the audition room opened, and a man with a strange figure and temperament walked in with a strange posture.

The moment the person turned to face the producer and director, Nolan's heart skipped a beat, and he took a picture of the photographer, who had already turned on the camera.

Martin leaned his head and neck forward, on his snow-white face, his bright red scarred lips seemed to be parted to the base of his ears, and he grinned wantonly.

He deliberately pushed up one corner of his mouth with his tongue, and the scars on his face protruding from the makeup, coupled with a weird smile, made the whole person look extremely crazy.

Nolan stared intently at the clown in front of him, he couldn't see any trace of Martin Davis, he just felt that this was the role he wanted.

Even if Martin Davis didn't speak a line.

Every look in his eyes, every subtle movement, every smile, every breath, and even his invisible but palpable temperament are all perfect, without any burden.

Martin suddenly opened his suit, pulled out a statue, and pressed his finger to the clown's mouth.

"Gentlemen, you are so rich." He pulled up his worn suit jacket: "The people outside are extremely poor, it's so unfair!"

He walked in front of the camera and reasoned with persecution: "I planted a bomb here to create a little disturbance. Have you seen the statue in my hand? As long as I press it, it will explode .”

Martin laughed crazily, strangely and presumptuously: "If you disrupt the original order, everything will become chaotic. Do you know the benefits of chaos? It can bring fairness!"

He babbled: "Now I'm counting to 10, if someone doesn't get naked, there's no fair chance."

Nolan said at this time: "It's fine."

Martin was still counting: "One, two..."

The tone was weird, with the power of a madman. When he counted to eight, he stopped and smiled strangely: "Sorry, I got too deep into the drama."

Nolan said, "Go out and wait for a while."

Martin didn't speak any more, and was about to leave the audition room shaking.

Orlin stopped Martin, "What's in your hand?"

Martin threw it to him casually, and said with a smile: "This is the key to chaos, press its mouth, and it will explode."

Orrin was about to touch the clown's carved mouth, but stopped suddenly.

For a moment, it was unclear whether what Martin said was true or false.

He stared blankly at the statue, which was modeled on Martin's clown, with a lifelike shape and fine carvings, like exquisite handmade works of art.

Martin didn't stop walking, and he walked out of the audition room.

As soon as the door closed, Nolan couldn't wait to express his opinion: "This is the clown I want! Unbelievable, arbitrary, and extremely terrifying!"

Emma Thomas understood what her husband meant, and said directly: "I suggest choosing Martin to play the clown. He auditioned better than others, and he worked harder and dedicated himself."

Charles Rowan watched the audition tape again and said, "My choice is Martin Davis."

Louise held up the magazine in her hand: "Martin Davis."

Orlin was still thinking about the clown statue, should he press it or not? With his hand on the side, the face that radiated evil and chaos kept flashing in his mind, worried that he would press it down...

Louise reminded him: "Your candidate?"

Orlin picked up the statue and pointed, "My choice is him."

Alan Horn, who has never spoken, also nodded: "I agree."

All the bosses agreed, and Charles Rowan simply said: "I am announcing the audition results now. Martin Davis passed the audition and won the role of the Joker."

He looked around: "Who has any questions?"

"I have it." Orlin held the clown statue in his hand: "Look at this thing, it looks very similar to the clown just now, can it be made into a peripheral?"

Nolan glanced at it. As a real shooting madman, he had his own judgment: "The workmanship is quite good."

Charles Rowan also glanced at it, and said, "It feels like this thing has other uses besides being a decoration."

Others don't know, but Louise knows it all too well: "Martin's clown statue, many people in Hollywood who have worked with Martin have received similar souvenirs."

"I've seen it with quite a few people in the industry," said the casting director, who has little say.

Orlin realized the commercial value of it, and immediately said: "Hurry up and negotiate with Martin, let him temporarily stop giving away, we will add relevant clauses to the actor's contract, and develop it as a movie peripheral..."

This thing is different from the clown image of DC Comics, and there is no infringement. He asked Louise: "Do you know who the sculptor is?"

Louise said: "Lily Carter, Martin Davis' neighbor sister, is currently working as a temporary worker in the props department of the crew."

Orlin suggested: "Move her into the creative team, let her and her agent participate in three-way negotiations."

Charles Rowan reached for the clown statue, but before his hand touched the clown's head, Orrin turned around and passed his legs and feet over.

"Don't touch the statue's head." Orlin still remembered Martin's evil demeanor, subconsciously said: "If it blows up, we are all finished."

Charles Rowan looked through the clown statue, found the signature on the sole of his feet, and handed it to Louise: "About this thing, we can think of some targeted strategies in marketing, maybe it can become a hit product."

Louise helped Martin by the way: "High-end handmade custom peripherals, like Darth Vader's high-end handmade peripheral products?"

In the history of Hollywood movies, the most popular figure and hand-made movie peripherals are undoubtedly the Black Lord.

Charles-Rowan said: "It depends on how influential the movie and the character are."

The Nolans are confident.

Several people discussed again, and Charles Rowan said: "I will notify Martin Davis and his agent."

After today's audition, Nolan's attitude has completely changed: "No matter what the conditions are, I only want Martin Davis!"

Charles Rowan has thought about it: "He has four films with over 100 million box office in North America, and the salary cannot be less than 13 million US dollars."

What Orlin said is the reality: "The initial investment in the film is too high, and the excessive production budget will further expand the investment risk."

Nolan reminded: "If you want to achieve the desired effect, the budget for shooting and post-production cannot be cut."

Alan Horn casually suggested: "Then a part of the early film remuneration plus an appropriate post-production share, in order to reduce the early investment risk."

Charles Rowan also felt that the use of such terms in the sequel film would cause investors to suffer losses in later earnings.

But Martin Davis's box office appeal besides auditions is also what they want.

Representatives of these employers are eager to let star actors perform with a basic salary.

The short discussion was over, and today's audition was completed. Charles Rowan left the audition room first, and someone called Martin and Thomas, and Martin got the role of the clown.

In the dressing room, Martin had already removed his makeup, and when he heard the audition results told by Thomas, he laughed and said, "Did you see that, as long as the audition is fair, we are the final winners!"

Bruce thought that this audition was too fair and just.

Thomas was in a good mood, and said, "It would be great if every audition is so fair and just in the future."

"The audition results are out." Martin said with a smirk, "Now it's up to you to fight for a fair and just treatment for me."

Thomas said, "Leave it to me."

The three of them left the dressing room together, and when they came to the front hall of the studio, Louise was waiting for them here.

After going to a nearby soda shop, Louise talked about the clown sculpture in general.

Martin was not surprised, because using sculptures as props was his intention.

How to cooperate in the future, just talk to the crew and Warner.
