Chapter 487: The First Person in Film History (Finale)

"Oh my God!" Nien had goosebumps again.

The clown Arthur gave him a completely different feeling. That skinny body, that scary smile, it seemed like there was another person in his body.

"The new king has appeared." William murmured to himself.

When the movie ended, all the fans who had just participated in the discussion exploded!

"He was a patient, but no one took him seriously, so he became the clown in Gotham City. I didn't expect that Mr. Standing was not Bolt. He set a record, but he can get close to him anytime and anywhere. It's incredible."

"I feel that the clown is a potential danger, and the clown is lurking in Arthur's body."

"Fake, this broken world."

"I feel like I'm going to turn into Arthur, but I can't turn into a clown..."

and many more.

Because clown sentiment has taken over America.

First day global box office.

If it hadn't been for the fund's expensive publicity, it wouldn't have become globally known.

Huang Baiyou won, and the North American box office, Chinese box office, and global box office exceeded The Dark Knight Rises.

Joker: $1.7 million

A movie like this just happens to have the right place, right time and right people.

Before watching: The Dark Knight Joker is the orthodoxy.

The Dark Knight Rises: $1.4 million

Yes, this cinema is not an exception, but represents the majority.

"How crazy!" This is a film that after watching it, you know that Standing must win the Best Actor Award" - Village Voice

He's not angry at all because The Dark Knight Rises lost but did pretty well at the box office. What's more, the more popular Huang Baiyou is, the more box office the sequel to Fast Chase will have.

Seriously speaking, the fact that "Joker" can win so happily is related to the Meiwen Fund that is behind it.

"Violence has no outlet, but the world is a giant clown" - Chicago Tribune

"Dance, Clown and Arthur?" "The Joker and Batman" - New York Observer

"He may be the first actor whose influence on the film is far greater than that of the director." Qin Xing said.

The Gotham City in the movie seems to be the future of America, and people at the bottom like Arthur have no hope at all.

After watching: There are two types of clowns in the world, one is in the Dark Knight, and the other is called Arthur.

"Edwin succeeded, but Standing succeeded even more" - The New Yorker
The popularity of the two movies, the Joker surpassed the Dark Knight almost instantly, yes, it was an instant.

To sum up, Tan Xing should be happy.

But Qin Xing couldn't be happy because Liang Tong got married.

"Can you tell the difference between reality and fiction in Joker?" 》——San Francisco Chronicle

That is, the Bai Fumei whom she met on the desert island. Perhaps she was waiting for Tan Xing, or perhaps for other reasons, Liang Tong did not hold the wedding until he was almost in his thirties.

"..." Tan Xing suddenly felt that making money was not that interesting anymore.

However, the state of things does not change based on personal will. "Joker" and "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" are still harvesting box office.

fire!
Very hot!
The box office on the second and third days was still solid.

How popular is it? "Joker" changed a region and a whole family.

The area that changed was the Brooklyn Stairs, where Arthur danced wildly. Many fans (including celebrities) would dress up in clown costumes and dance in the same place. How exaggerated is it? A week after Joker was released, the name of this staircase on Google Maps became "Joker Stairs".

The family that changed was the Hinsons, who instantly became internet celebrities.

Accordingly, the documentary "The Hinsons" has been mentioned again, because Huang Baiyou's acting skills are difficult to touch, and this documentary is the only one that can peek into it, so fans are naturally curious.

It was precisely because of his popularity that he was judged by the elite.

"I don't think this is a good movie. Standing is a good actor, but Jeanne is not a good director. He never thought about how to tell a story sincerely from beginning to end. The story of the random structure is fragmented, and there is only crazy destruction and destruction. , and does not provide any thinking or solutions, this movie will only bring bad negative effects to society."

This comment comes from the famous political commentator Pinkerton, who is so famous that he even joined the previous presidential campaign team.

Bad negative effects?
Only destruction?

The former may be right, but movie fans (Americans) sneer at the latter, just like many fans left messages saying that they seem to be Arthur, but they cannot become the clown.

Let alone changing society, they can't even destroy it, so this movie was made to reflect what they had in mind.

[The Joker's natural opponent in the comics is Batman, but in reality the Joker has no opponent. ] On May 5, such a paragraph appeared on the big screen in Times Square, and I don’t know which fan made it.

It can be said that there were already a lot of clown fans on the Internet, but now the number has increased exponentially.

Many people have suggested that the premiere date, May 17, should be turned into "Joker Day".

"A crazy good sharp psychotic masterpiece! 》

A comment from a famous Hollywood director was published in the Washington Post, using three complimentary words: "crazy", "good" and "sharp".

[Standine Wong's return as the Joker brings the evil and crazy clown elements to a new level.

His performance of Arthur's descent into madness is very clear, budding-revealing-awakening-rebirth, even logical to the point of cruelty.

At the same time, it also truly points out the support of mental health treatment in our society and the harsh environment of domestic treatment.

Be forewarned, this is not an antihero movie, or a supervillain story. Director Jeanne delivers a serious psychotic thriller.

It could easily be based on any mentally ill person's journey to come to terms with who they are and seek revenge on the rich and powerful people they blame for their condition.

Warning: This is not a movie for pups or people with a low tolerance for violence. ]
Although "The Killer" and "John Wick" both performed well at the box office in the United States, "Joker" is the only movie that is more popular abroad than at home.

Domestically speaking, the evaluation of The Dark Knight Rises is higher than that of The Joker.

This is also reflected in the box office. The daily box office of Dark Knight Rises is not far behind Joker.

But considering Huang Baiyou’s appeal in the country, if he didn’t distance himself, it would actually be a failure.

From May to June, there was news about Huang Baiyou and Joker.

Below are two movies. In fact, there are other movies close to the release date, but they have been crushed into scraps, so I won’t introduce them in detail.

"The Dark Knight" has a global box office total of US$13.5 billion.

"Joker" has a global box office total of US$15.6 billion.

Both exceeded the one billion box office mark, but The Dark Knight is originally a commercial blockbuster, and Joker directly became the highest-grossing "R"-rated film.

If we talk about commercial value, the three major European film festivals combined are not as good as the Academy Awards. This is mainly because the core of commercial films is in the United States. Only Hollywood can export it globally, win high box office, and command high salaries.

But film is known as the eighth art, and business alone cannot determine everything. Directors such as Ingmar Bergman, Fellini, Andrei Tarkovs, and Hitchcock have such high status in film history, certainly not because of their high box office, but simply because they have opened up different places for movies. .

Speaking of pioneering, there is no doubt that Huang Baiyou's performance is often said by the media to be pushing the boundaries of actors.

Therefore, Huang Baiyou's status in film history does not need an Oscar winner to prove it.

However, in March 2030, the Oscar ceremony held at the Dolby Theater awarded the Oscar winner to Huang Baiyou.

At this point, Huang Baiyou has completed the Grand Slam of Oscar Best Actor and Best Actor at three major film festivals, becoming the first person in film history!
