Chapter 426: Filming begins, watch closely, study hard!

The Dark Knight has officially started filming!

This news still came from the overseas students in Chicago.

Chen Cheng.

He is studying abroad in Chicago.

As for how he discovered that Batman: The Dark Knight was being filmed here,

This still has to be traced back to three hours ago.

At that time, he had just finished playing ball with a few local classmates and was returning.

As usual, he had to pass a street to get back to his rented apartment.

The result...

He saw from afar that police had put up a barrier line there.

At first, Chen Cheng thought another incident had occurred.

After all, in the land of the free, shootings happen every day.

He had been studying in Chicago for several years; for such things, at first he would be nervous, but gradually he got used to it.

"Sir, may I ask what happened here?"

As Chen Cheng passed by, he curiously asked.

He dared to ask because Chicago police are relatively friendly toward Asians.

The main reason is that these foreign police consider Asians to pose no threat.

Putting it that way.

In the U. S., if a Black person walks up to a police officer silently at night, the officer would likely pull out their gun immediately.

"Chinese?"

"Yes, sir!"

Upon hearing that the Asian before him was from Huaguo, the officer smiled and said: "Lin, do you know? Your Huaguo director's new film TheDark. Knight is being filmed here, oh, and Jackie Chan..."

When he mentioned Jackie Chan, his face showed an excited expression.

Because he had previously been fortunate enough to take a photo with J.

It was incredibly lucky!

"Ah?"

Chen Cheng froze for a moment.

Director Lin, Elder Brother Cheng Long, they've come to Chicago to film?

Is the first stop of Batman: The Dark Knight in Chicago?

Goodness, he was shocked.

I am, after all, a loyal fan of Director Lin.

He of course knows the film Batman: The Dark Knight.

But he had only seen news about where the movie was being filmed.

He never expected...

... that it was actually in Chicago.

Instantly, Chen Cheng became excited.

He hurriedly took out his phone and, not forgetting to ask the nearby officer: "Sir, may I record a video? I think Huaguo fans, if they knew Lin's film had started shooting in Chicago, would surely be thrilled!"

"Sure!"

The officer smiled and nodded.

Thus, Chen Cheng opened his phone and began recording a video.

"Brothers, earth-shattering news: Batman: The Dark Knight has officially started filming, I'm in Chicago...."

Soon.

After the video was posted,

Within the country, the internet surged with a wave of excitement.

The video's view count kept climbing rapidly.

The comment section below exploded outright.

"Ah, has it started filming?"

"Chicago? The first stop is in Chicago!"

"!"

"I'm also in Chicago, where is this?"

"The overseas students in Chicago are reporting; tomorrow we'll go check out the filming site!"

"I thought Director Lin's first stop would be in New York!"

"......"

Douyin hot list, Weibo hot search.

All were flooded by this video in various ways.

A bunch of bloggers all did secondary creations, all kinds of shock.

#Batman: The Dark Knight Chicago Officially Launched#

This heat is incredibly high.

Originally,

Wang Feng also released a new song today, and it's about to hit the hot search.

Result...

And this got done again, huh.

Wang Banbi fainted from crying again in the restroom.

The Batman: The Dark Knight film crew.

They're about to start filming the first scene right away.

Because there's an open‑air hotel right near the film crew.

So it can be used to film the movie scene where Batman Wayne organizes a charity gala for Prosecutor Harvey Dent, the Joker appears, kidnaps the heroine Rachel, forces Batman to show up, makes him take off his mask, and finally Batman and Rachel fall from a tall building.

Night falls, and Chicago's streets are illuminated by the film crew's lights.

The top floor of the open‑air hotel has already been set up as the lavish charity gala scene from the movie.

Set.

"Everyone," Lin Mo said, holding the script and looking at the group, "tonight we are filming one of the film's key scenes. The Joker's entrance must shock the audience; every move and every line of his must be full of threat and madness."

As he spoke, Lin Mo walked up to Heath Ledger, who is playing the Joker, patted his shoulder and said, "Heath, your performance will be the soul of this scene. The Joker is not an ordinary villain; he is an embodiment of chaos, a madman bound by no rules. So your acting must make the audience feel his unpredictability and danger."

"In plain terms, you never know what this character will do next; he's a lunatic, got it? You need to add some crazy ramblings, for example, the script mentions his father and the stuff between him and his girlfriend!"

Heath Ledger listened, nodded, and a flash of excitement and challenge crossed his eyes.

He has prepared for this role for a long time, even specifically studying the behavior patterns of psychiatric patients.

Because Heath Ledger knows that the Joker role might be a milestone in his acting career.

Then Lin Mo continued, "When you step into the banquet hall, everyone's gaze will focus on you. You must make them feel uneasy, even fearful. Your smile should send chills down everyone's spine, and your eyes must be filled with that kind of madness and mockery…"

As everyone knows.

Lin Mo's filming method is to perform it himself once, then have the actors follow his model.

That's the secret to why his filming is so fast.

Of course, this is also a fairly big challenge to Lin Mo's acting.

But, well.

Directors, directors, you have to be able to act first before you can direct.

So, Lin Mo, to help Heath better understand the Joker and this scene.

He prepared to demonstrate it personally to Heath Ledger.

We see Lin Mo slowly walk into the banquet hall, a strange smile on his face, his eyes exuding a chilling calm.

His steps are light and composed, as if enjoying the impending chaos.

Everyone present is shocked by his performance.

Sss...

Lin, is his acting that amazing?

"Did you see?" Lin Mo stopped, turned to Heath and said, "You must make the audience feel that the Joker is not just a villain; he is a symbol, an uncontrollable force of chaos."

Heath took a deep breath, nodded, and said, "I understand. I will bring this character to life."

Then Lin Mo turned and briefly explained the scene to Jason, Bell, and Gal Gadot and the others.

Their roles are relatively simple.

Not as complex as the Joker.

"Alright!"

"Lights, camera, props ready..."

With Lin Mo's shout of "Action!", the entire film crew entered a tense filming mode.

Lin Mo sat in front of the monitor.

Next to him were Assistant Director Chen Xing and Yan Xu.

Lin Mo didn't forget to say to Yan Xu, "Watch carefully, learn well!"

Yan Xu quickly nodded.

Being able to watch his senior brother direct up close this time, he was fully energized.

Such an opportunity is hard to come by.
