Vol 2 Chapter 865: The clown reappears

"The Dark Knight Rises" has been strongly sought after by movie fans before its official release, and the popularity continues to rise as the release day approaches. The media does not hesitate to praise words. "Empire" magazine gave "a superhero of unprecedented scale." Movie" praise. ●⌒Vertex Novel,
When the premiere ceremony kicked off at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, it can only be described as a huge crowd.
Although Scarlett Johansson and Tina Fey tried their best to oppose, Duke still appeared at the premiere, but he was not the kind of person who could not listen to other opinions. Throughout the premiere, he came from the FBI. The two detectives will protect him all the way.
More than that, Duke’s personal bodyguards are also located outside. Two professional security companies hired by Warner Bros. will be responsible for peripheral security. People from the FBI’s Los Angeles branch also control nearby commanding heights.
In addition, all fans who enter the theater to watch movies must undergo security checks.
Now that the police have been reported, it is naturally no longer a secret that Duke received a "death threat". When he and Scarlett walked quickly across the red carpet, many fans slogans to support him.
Like all premieres in Hollywood, there is nothing too surprising about the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises". Nowadays, Hollywood movies are not only streamlined, but the same is true for the premiere.
The only difference is that at the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises", it can be said that all kinds of demons and ghosts appear.
Many crazy fans have dressed up as well-known characters in movies or comics and appeared on both sides of the red carpet, such as Batman, Penguin, Catwoman, Plant Ivy, Robin, etc. everywhere.
However, the most are clowns, and a large number of movie fans wear purple costumes, with a scary red mouth painted on their pale faces.
Walking across the red carpet, Duke looked at the clowns on both sides. Suddenly I thought of something, but I couldn't catch it for a while in the surrounding "Duke" shouts.
Scarlett immediately noticed Duke's anomaly, and asked quickly, "What's wrong, my dear? What's wrong."
Two FBI agents also came quickly.
Duke quickly shook his head at them, "Nothing."
Looking at the clowns on both sides of the red carpet. He always felt that he had overlooked something.
At the end of the red carpet, Duke and Scarlett entered the interview area, where many actors were being interviewed, such as Christian Bale, Dawn Johnson, and Gal Gadot were all chased by reporters. .
Duke entered the interview area and immediately attracted many reporters.
The reporter's topic almost all focused on the incident in which he received a "death threat."
"Director Rosenberg, what do you think of that threatening email?"
"Duke, will this change the content of the film?"
Listening to the chaotic voices around, Duke had no choice but to quickly say, "I believe this is just a prank. It is not that someone really wants to do something to me."
After saying this, with the assistance of the bodyguard and two Los Angeles agents, Duke prepared to leave the interview area.
At this moment, another reporter asked loudly, "Don't you think it is the "Dark Knight" that promotes the violence of the clown too much, so that someone imitates the clown and mails death threats?"
Duke looked back at the reporter, and the other person's words seemed like a key, opening his somewhat stagnant thoughts.
Although the footsteps are following Scarlett Johansson to the group photo area. But Duke's thoughts had long been transferred elsewhere.
Just like the reporter said, mailing "death threat" clowns has been used several times. Some crazy guys may not follow the plot in the movie.
Duke can be said to have deep feelings about this. Back then, "The Matrix" triggered murders. The reason was that the murderer believed that he was living in a virtual world like Neo and wanted to fully awaken.
How big is the influence of the clown? This is almost a villain who has been a myth!
Duke knew it well. There are many fans who idolize the clown madly, and some of them imitate his behavior. It is not impossible...
Thinking of this, the memory that faded away because of the passage of time returned to my mind. In the previous shooting, it seemed that the other party was a clown dressed up or imitated.
The mechanical puppets usually ended up taking photos. Duke walked into the theater and immediately found Tina Fei.
In the lounge, Duke walked away the two federal agents, leaving only Scarlett Johansson and Tina Fey.
"Tina, you immediately contact the people from Warner Bros...." His speech was a bit fast, but it was still steady, "Let them notify the major theater companies that fans are prohibited from wearing costumes of various characters."
Hearing Duke's words, Tina Fei looked at him in surprise, "You know, Duke, it's difficult."
Of course Duke knows this is difficult. In this mature film market in North America, it is a tradition for movie fans to dress up as various characters to watch movies, and it is also a good way to increase the atmosphere of the movie.
"The theater company may be difficult to agree." Tina Fei added.
"Forget it..." Duke sighed, "Let's go back to the theater."
It’s not that it’s difficult for theater companies to agree, but they will never agree. Doing so will almost offend the craziest and most purchasing power fans. How could a theater company seeking profit agree?
Not to mention cinema companies, even Warner Bros. would not agree to do so.
If you really follow Duke's words, let alone other things, how much less the movie will sell? Also offend the core audience.
"What are you worried about?" Scarlett asked.
"Mail death threats..." Duke knew he needed to explain a few words, "Who did this in The Dark Knight?"
Tina Fei and Scarlett Johansson said at the same time, "Joker!"
"You are worried, the person who issued the death threat..." Tina Fei immediately understood what Duke meant. "Pretend to be a clown and enter the theater?"
Duke nodded.
Scarlett couldn't help showing a comforting smile, "Don't worry, my dear, there are strict security measures at the premiere. Even if he is dressed as a clown, he cannot enter here with weapons."
"I'm not worried about this." Duke shook his head. "You two have forgotten that the death threats are still everyone! If he doesn't come here, he goes to other theaters..."
Tina Fei and Scarlett Johansson both put away their smiles, but there are no security checks in other theaters.
The two then shook their heads. Although they cared about Duke, they did not necessarily think that the death threat was real, and they didn't care about anything other than Duke.
Let theaters increase security checks and prohibit fans from dressing up as various characters to watch movies? Don't be kidding, they didn't own the theater company in North America.
The three exchanged glances, then left the lounge, joined the bodyguards and FBI agents, and walked directly into the theater.
When entering the theater, Tina Fei also exchanged opinions with the two FBI agents about the death threats between everyone and the clown, but the FBI was not interested in this inexplicable reasoning, and just said something. If you can.
The FBI protected Duke only because his identity and status are worth protecting, but Tina Fei's words based on the clown and death threats were regarded as nonsense by them.
Duke’s seat was cut off from the rest of the crew. He and Scarlett Johnson’s agents and bodyguards surrounded the center.
"The Dark Knight Rises" is about to be screened, and many clowns, Batman, Catwoman, and Robin also walked into the premiere theater. In addition to the guests in the front row, the Chinese Theater in Hollywood has become a gathering place for demons and monsters.
Looking back at the crowded theater, Duke turned around and felt Scarlett shook his hand gently, smiled at her, and gradually turned his eyes to the big screen opposite.
Not far behind him, Sarah of the Los Angeles Times was also looking backward. She knew that Duke had received a "death threat." The security level of today’s premiere was enhanced by more than two levels. If the threat Into the theater, it must be among the monsters behind.
It's just that Duke is surrounded by a large number of bodyguards and federal agents. Even if someone wants to do anything, it is basically impossible.
Having been with Duke for many years, Sarah is still a little worried about the director's safety.
And where she was in the media booth, many reporters were also enthusiastic to look at the monsters and ghosts in the back, and then at Duke Rosenberg in the front row. It seemed that they couldn’t wait to make this premiere happen. , The best news is super news that can attract the attention of the world.
Duke Rosenberg’s movies are released, and Duke Rosenberg’s movies are selling well. These are no longer news, and the audience may be numb to such news.
What if Duke Rosenberg meets an attack?
Just think about this kind of scene, these reporters are as excited as a chicken blood, can there be more attractive news than this?
They desperately hope that someone can stand up!
Where are the people who can stand up? In what way will he appear?
This is not a question for reporters, but what Duke thought of staring at the big screen that was gradually lit up. The past may not necessarily appear. After all, when he came to this world, too many people and things in Hollywood have changed.
The movie is about to be screened, and the Chinese Theater in Hollywood gradually changed from noisy to quiet. Only a few people dressed as clowns were looking for seats.
Outside the Chinese Theater in Hollywood, a black Ford car slowly approached the theater. James Holmes, dressed in a standard clown costume, calmly observed the situation at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood through the window.
If placed in ordinary, his outfit could attract the attention of many people, but now it is ordinary, there are people like clowns everywhere, James Holmes is unobtrusive.
Slightly stepping on the brakes, the black Ford stopped on the side of the road, James Holmes did not get out of the car, but patiently observed the situation, unconsciously touched under the purple costume, and easily found his gun.
These are the tools he wants to achieve chaos and pursuit! (To be continued.)
