American fame and fortune

The newly renamed Dolby Theater is located at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Street. It is also the most famous among a series of commercial buildings in the Hollywood and Highland Center.

The midday sun was high in the sky, and the golden sunlight fell on the poster at the front entrance of the Dolby Theater, but it couldn't illuminate the darkness on the background of Batman.

At this time, movie fans were already gathering towards the center of the highland.

There are many more Batmans and clowns wandering on this Avenue of Stars.

Inside an old warehouse on Highland Street, the lights were brightly lit, and three young people in their mid-twenties were busy putting on makeup.

They painted their faces a pale white and painted a bloody mouth, which was hideous and terrifying.

Three clown-related black jackets were worn on them respectively.

The leading clown, James Holmes, came to the map. The map was a map of the center of the Highlands, with photos posted on both sides of the situation around the Dolby Theater that they had taken these days.

Bob and Kevin followed, looking at the map without speaking.

James lifted up a large canvas, revealing a large brown leather suitcase underneath.

This is the weaponry and equipment that I acquired from Chula Vista, a small town near the Mexican border, after I came to Los Angeles.

James is not a rich man and has limited funds. He can only get some weapons that he thinks are suitable through the channels of Bob's friends.

Bob and Kevin both came to the box.

"Open it," James said.

The two opened two boxes on the ground. James picked up one of the M76 submachine guns, hung it under his long black suit jacket, and put several extended magazines into the other side of the jacket, just enough to cover it.

The revolver he brought from Colorado was inserted into the holster at his waist.

He glanced at his two companions and said, "Why are you so serious? What we have to do is to help this world return to its essence!"

Kevin is a sturdy young man who also put on a similar coat. He picked up the M76 and the magazine, hung them inside his clothes, and said: "Things have to get worse before they get better. We are just pushing this step."

Bob also chose the M76. This submachine gun is short, compact and easy to carry.

Under the gun, there are three cylinders that look like grenades at first glance.

James picked up one, put it in his coat pocket, and said, "You all know how to use it. Remember to throw it far away when you use it."

Bob picked up one and put it into his coat pocket: "It's a pity that I didn't get the grenade."

Kevin patted the submachine gun hidden under his coat: "These are enough!"

James originally wanted to buy grenades or shock bombs, but the other party claimed that they had no goods and only bought a few tear gas bombs.

The three of them checked their equipment for the last time and prepared to set off.

Bob turned around and saw a clown poster hanging on the wall.

That's one of the main posters for The Dark Knight, Martin's poster.

He asked, "Boss, Martin will be at the premiere too."

Kevin stopped and stared at Martin's poster with his pale gray eyes.

James walked quickly to the poster, took out a knife from his pocket, waved his hand and inserted it into the center of the Joker poster.

The blade pierced Martin's bright red mouth, as if nailing him to the wall.

Bob and Kevin were stunned.

James seemed to have seen the whole world, his distorted face became slightly normal, and even the blood-red mouth returned to its usual appearance.

"We used to idolize Martin crazily and thought that Martin was completely different from other Hollywood stars. We thought that he was the real sunshine of the world and could illuminate the darkest places in our lives!" His expression was particularly calm, but his eyes revealed madness: " At that time, I thought Martin was the clown, the key to changing my life and the world, at least being able to escape from this vulgar world!"

Kevin and Bob are different from James. Their family is finished, their lives are finished, and they are deeply influenced by the clown. They want to be as unbridled and crazy as the clown.

Before the two of them could speak, James added: "Do you think Martin is equal to the clown? No, Martin is not a clown! Absolutely not!"

He stabbed the knife in his hand hard, and the wounds on Martin on the poster became bigger and bigger, and his face was almost torn apart: "Martin is not a clown, he has become a member of this vulgar world, haven't you noticed? ? What’s the difference between him and those bastards in Hollywood? He only cares about money and women. He has made hundreds of millions and slept with dozens of women, but he doesn’t care about this fast-changing world!"

"Yes, he does!" Kevin thought of the black people who frequently went to his convenience store to buy for zero dollars: "For him to be friends with Brother Ni is an insult to the clown!"

The knife in James' hand penetrated deeply into the wall behind the poster. He let go and said: "This wave of making the world worse started from Hollywood. We must teach Hollywood a profound lesson and stop this world from happening." Sliding towards the abyss! If any bad guy dares to stand in front of us, we will send him to hell!"

Bob thought of the drunken dreams and mistakes of Hollywood stars, and shouted: "Today's Hollywood is full of monsters, kill them! Kill them!"

"Let's go!" James took the lead out of the warehouse door.

The three walked through the alley and onto Highland Street.

The weather in July is a bit hot. Dressing like this at any other time would definitely attract other people's attention.

But today is the day of the world premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises," and there are countless clowns wandering the streets in Los Angeles.

Approaching the center of Hollywood and Highland, clowns can be seen everywhere on the road, and there are many wearing blazers.

Next to the street painters' booths, there are still people waiting to be dressed up as clowns or Batman.

Ahead, with the Dolby Theater in sight, Bob and Kevin didn't know whether they were excited or nervous, their bodies trembling slightly.

James stopped and said, "Don't panic, there are people like us everywhere."

After the two of them calmed down, he said, "Let's split up!"

Bob and Kevin turned and took two opposite roads.

James came to the intersection of Highland Street and Hollywood Avenue. After waiting for a while, a large group of clowns came over and waited to cross the intersection, and he got in.

At the intersection, there are many LAPDs maintaining order, but no one pays attention to these clowns.

James mingled among them, crossing Hollywood Boulevard.

But there were too many moviegoers here today, and he was squeezed to the outside.

It's still some time before the premiere red carpet starts, and James is no different from those crazy fans, patiently waiting for the bad guys in Hollywood to show up.

…………

Along Sunset Boulevard, the black Escalade drove into Nicholson's mansion.

The bodyguard who was driving parked the car, and Martin got out of the car and quickly entered the villa gate. Lorraine, who was waiting at the door, first said hello to Martin, and then said hello to Bruce who got out of the driver's seat.

In the villa, Jack Nicholson stood in front of the full-length mirror, adjusting his black tie.

The old man was old and his figure was seriously out of shape, but he still had the aura of a bastard all over his body.

He grabbed a cane, walked back and forth a few steps, and asked, "It's been a long time since I walked on the red carpet. How about this look?"

Martin looked at it for a while and said: "Very good, like an old pervert."

Nicholson turned back: "When you get on the red carpet of the premiere, I will let you understand what it means to be so full of aura that you can't even lift your head."

Martin admitted: "In terms of perversion, I am indeed not one-tenth as good as you."

Jennifer Lawrence came out of the cloakroom with a black suit jacket, greeted Martin with a smile, helped Nicholson put it on, and said, "Your blood pressure has been a little high recently, don't get too excited."

Lorraine on the other side of the hall curled her lips. The little girlfriend her old father had found was about her age, and it was really uncomfortable to look at her.

She just hoped that her father would not find another eighteen-year-old.

Martin looked at the clock on the wall and said, "It's almost time, let's set off."

Nicholson adjusted his coat slightly, leaned on the crutch, and followed Martin out of the villa.

His old driver with almost white hair took Bruce's place and sat in the driver's seat.

One car, four people, rushing to the Dolby Theater.

The old and new generations of clowns will walk together on the red carpet for the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" tonight.

…………

As the sun turned to the west, the first cheers of the night erupted from the red carpet in front of the Dolby Theater.

Catwoman actresses Michelle Pfeiffer and Anne Hathaway walked the red carpet together.

Warner Bros. and DC Films originally invited Halle Berry, but the latter declined the invitation without hesitation.

Just like George Clooney refused to attend this premiere as a Batman actor.

These roles may be the pain points that they will never forget in their acting careers.

Luxury cars one after another drove slowly along Hollywood Boulevard and stopped at the entrance of the premiere in an orderly manner. Every time a star got out of the car, it caused a commotion among many photographers.

The Avenue of Stars is as crowded with vehicles as people.

Soon, director Nolan and producer Emma Thomas walked across the red carpet and arrived at the entrance of the theater.

The older generation of Batman also appeared one after another in the flash.

Michael Keaton and Val Kilmer were almost forgotten by the media and fans.

An engine roar sounded at this moment, and the huge Batmobile drove to the premiere.

This generation of Batman, Christian Bale, jumped out of the car, waved around and walked onto the red carpet.

Later, Vin Diesel, who had a shiny bald head, also got out of the car.

Tom Hardy was already disgusted by Nolan because of the shooting incident on the "Inception" crew and the stalking incident in Paris, so naturally he couldn't get the role of Poison Bane.

Bane in the film is a powerful character who can suppress Batman from physical to combat. Nolan convinced the crew and producers to invite the leader of the Family Man to play this character with a high salary.

"The Dark Knight Rises" still adopts the mode of duel between two heroes. Although Vin Diesel plays the villain, his personal momentum is amazing.

He wore a white suit that was completely opposite to Bell's color. He walked with his head held high and had the aura of being the best in the world.

Fans on both sides of the red carpet were in high spirits, shouting the names of their favorite stars.

At this time, James finally squeezed into a position closer to the front, and his eyes fell on Vin Diesel. This is a top star in Hollywood!
