Atlanta, Gray Film and Television Production Center.
For the filming of "The Dark Knight", the crew rented seven studios, three large and four small, for setting up the scenery.
Gotham Street Scenes were filmed primarily on Highland and Peachtree Streets.
Nolan originally wanted to shoot in Chicago and London, but Warner and Legendary signed a long-term contract with Gray Film and Television Center.
In Studio 6, the crew has already started filming.
On the set, Martin sat on top of a mountain of banknotes, picked up a few, tore them into pieces, and lifted them down from a high place.
The colorful shredded paper looks like a goddess scattering flowers.
Several men came over and poured prop gasoline on it.
Martin clicked on the lighter in his hand, closed it and extinguished it, then opened it again.
He kicked away a large bundle of banknotes, spread his arms and said: "This city is full of stench, it makes people sick, I will make the city full of fun."
The gang leader came in from outside at this time and shouted loudly: "You promised me that you would give me the money back!"
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will keep my word." Martin laughed and opened his arms: "Half of this is mine."
The gang leader wanted to go and steal the money.
Martin's hand speed was super fast, and the lighter in his hand turned into a shining silver pistol like a magic trick. He raised his finger on the other hand, shook it and said, "The good thing about me is that I keep my word!"
The gang leader looked at the mountain of money with greed on his face.
Martin jumped down and slid down the pyramid of banknotes. Stacks of money scattered like quicksand.
The gang leader said: "I don't care about your half, you have to give me my half."
Martin laughed crazily: "Of course I will give them to you. I will use them to cleanse your soul. You have been contaminated by the stench of this city and your brain has become abnormal."
The gang leader wanted to move, but Martin held him at gunpoint.
Martin hit the leader on the head with the butt of his gun, and the leader fell into a pile of banknotes.
Before anyone could get up, Martin shot him in each leg with his backhand: "I keep my word, you will be with half of your money forever."
The gun disappeared from his hand and a lighter appeared: "The flames will bring freedom to the city, and the exploding fireworks will announce the improvement of the entire city's taste!"
"Stop!" Director Nolan shouted to stop filming and said: "Martin, it's already very good. I ask you to do better and do it again!"
The lighter twirled in Martin's fingers, and he smiled and said, "No problem."
The laughter was eerie and chilling.
Martin stood still on the set. The crew and other actors all avoided this guy who exuded a crazy and gloomy temperament.
Half an hour later, the set was reset, Martin climbed to the top of the banknote mountain again, and the filming of the scene started again.
After three consecutive shots, director Nolan announced the approval.
Then, the scene ended in a raging fire.
Martin returned to the rest area, took the kettle from Bruce, took a sip, and said, "It's so exciting to burn money, but it's a pity that it's fake."
Bruce suggested: "You now have tens of millions of dollars, you can convert it all into cash, pile it up in the yard and burn it for fun."
"Let's just burn the Federal Reserve," Martin said.
"If you blow up the White House and kill the commander-in-chief, you may survive." Bruce said sincerely: "But if you attack the Federal Reserve, you are dead. Even God can't save you."
An old black man with his step-granddaughter came over to say hello: "Hi, Martin, long time no see."
Martin turned his head and grinned at Morgan Freeman.
There will be his scene later, and he has not taken off his makeup at all. He has been used to it for more than two months, and now his grin is particularly scary.
Adina stepped back in fright, took Freeman's hand, and hid behind him, not daring to show her head.
Freeman was well-informed and calmed down, saying, "Martin, you scared her."
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it." Martin's smile became even brighter and more terrifying: "I just wanted to make people feel happy."
"The way you bring joy is special," Freeman said.
Martin put away his smile: "It is better to enjoy life with a sad face."
Freeman agreed with this, looked at his step-granddaughter, and said, "Teach me some experience of enjoyment someday?"
Martin smiled slightly: "In this regard, you are my teacher."
Freeman automatically changed the subject and asked: "After a few days of filming, I discovered a problem. The Joker has more scenes than Batman."
Martin said: "There are two protagonists, but Batman represents justice, and I represent chaos and evil."
Freeman reminded: "It's the Joker."
Martin responded: "Yes, it's the Joker."
Freeman participated in the filming of the previous film: "Not only the scenes, but also Batman's force value seems to have been reduced."
"Because I want to stand out... well, the Joker." Martin said casually: "Batman's force value is too high and he has no scruples in doing things. How can the Joker get around?"
Hearing this, Freeman's doubts when he read the script disappeared. He understood: "The director and screenwriter restricted Batman within various rules and regulations. In the name of safeguarding justice, they restricted his hands and feet. As a villain, The Joker acts unscrupulously without any scruples, not even worrying that Batman will kill him."
"Absolutely." Martin's personal feeling is that director Nolan gave Batman a reverse cheat to highlight the Joker.
Probably this is the super collision between justice and evil.
Soon, Martin was filming again, most of which were scenes of the clown and the gangsters entangled.
In the eyes of the Joker, the Gotham gangsters who commit crimes for money have really poor taste.
After finishing filming for the day, before Martin went to take off his makeup, he waved to the screenwriter who was following him and stretched out his hand in front of him: "Record, bring it over and let me take a look."
The screenwriter quickly put the notebook in Martin's hand.
Martin opened it and browsed it again, and said to him: "In addition, Martin was deeply involved in the role of the clown, and suddenly felt that Bale, who was wearing formal clothes and looked like an angel of justice, was very unhappy. It seemed that he had brought the character's grievances into reality."
The screenwriter took out his pen and quickly wrote it down.
When I looked at Martin again, he was already far away.
He was puzzled. Martin was obviously not stuck in the role and couldn't get out of it, and his head was very clear.
It seems that there is a clear distinction between the character and the person.
Martin came out after taking off his makeup and was about to get in the car when he saw Christian Bale.
As a "good friend" in the crew, Martin took the initiative to invite: "If I have time tonight, I will take you to a nightclub in Atlanta."
People from the crew came and went, and Bell seemed very friendly: "Is there any good place?"
Martin smiled brightly: "Take you to a club."
Hart, Carrington and others became famous and rarely performed on stage, but they taught many students.
A few days ago, everyone had a dinner together, and Martin heard them tell them in advance that there were homosexuals among the students.
Bell thought it was better not to take risks. After all, this is where Martin made his fortune, and said: "Let's have another day. Today I made an appointment with Michael Caine to discuss roles and scenes."
Martin didn't force it either: "You can go anytime you have time."
The two of them left separately.
Bell entered the studio.
Martin left the studio and headed to the Northville community.
Cadillac sponsored the crew's cars.
The black Escalade parked in front of Carter's house. Martin was not in a hurry to enter. He stood at the door and took a closer look. There was green grass in the flat yard, and there seemed to be nothing special about it.
He shouted: "Hall, come out!"
The door creaked open, and Hall, who was almost as tall as Harris, emerged from the door and said, "Come quickly, Elena has prepared a sumptuous dinner."
Martin pointed in front of him: "You idiot, have you ever hacked the earth?"
"I'm not as bored anymore," Hall said.
"If there is a hole in the ground..." Martin smiled conspiratorially: "You know the consequences."
Hall, who grew up under the education of many iron fists and had the lowest status in the family, quickly turned back when he saw Martin's weird smile.
Martin walked forward and entered the house without any accident.
"I didn't expect an idiot like you to have a brain!" He put the gift he brought on the table and asked, "Where's Elena?"
Elena emerged from the kitchen like the head of the family: "Dinner will be ready soon, you two idiots go wash your hands and faces."
Just as Martin was about to leave, she said again: "You smile so ugly, put it away for me, or I can't help but do it."
"He smiles like a pervert," Hall muttered.
When Martin came out after washing his hands, Elena had already put dinner on the table, which was mainly meat, supplemented by vegetables and fruits.
Hall said: "You haven't cooked for a long time. It's really different when Martin comes."
Elena's usual style: "Shut up."
Hall sat down to eat and muttered while eating: "It's better for Lily to be free in Los Angeles."
Hearing Lily's name, Elena looked at Martin and asked: "That idiot didn't call either, is he okay?"
"It's pretty good." Martin ate a piece of barbecue and the taste was still familiar: "No one dares to bully her."
"I never worried that she would be bullied," Elena said.
Hall responded: "If she's not bullying others, she's doing it out of kindness."
Martin kept nodding and said: "Lily found a job as an engraver on the crew. She can earn a lot of money. I guess you don't need to worry about the tuition for the next school year."
Elena said: "Let her come back during the summer vacation. If she doesn't come back, you can escort her to the plane."
Martin responded casually.
The two sisters were very rude to each other and would teach them with an iron fist at every turn, so it was better for him not to get involved.
Elena went to the refrigerator, brought a cocktail over, and placed it in front of Martin: "Try a new cocktail I made."
Martin took a sip and said, "The taste is more popular."
Elena said: "A manufacturer owned by Coca-Cola is preparing to launch a new bottled cocktail. Only popular tastes will increase sales."
Martin finished his glass of wine and said, "You know more about this now than I do."
Not long after eating, Hall was rushed into the room on the first floor by Martin to do his homework.
He took Elena's hand and went up to the second floor together.
The leader of the Cola Cult wants to check the saint's homework.
