As Nolan appeared, the chaotic studio became quiet. Bruce accompanied Martin to the corner, opened a bottle of iced Coke and handed it to him: "Drink, something sweet will help you calm down."
Martin took a big sip. The coke was as cold as when he beat Bell just now.
In the scene where Batman beats the Joker, although Martin was not substantially injured, he suffered a lot of hidden losses.
It hurts even if I fly out and land on the ground!
Not only did he suffer physical pain, but he also suffered mental damage, which kept him awake for two nights in a row. He could only seek comfort from Elena.
Bruce seemed to be infected and fell deeply into the role: "Don't worry, no one can hurt you as long as I am here."
Martin sat down on the chair, drank half a bottle of Coke, and acted as a spectator.
Bell was still lying on the ground muttering: "No! Don't hurt me, don't hurt me..."
It seemed that he had been greatly stimulated.
The doctor from the production team rushed over and gave Bell a preliminary physical examination. Except for the fallen teeth, other injuries were not serious.
Martin's actions were measured.
But the most serious injury suffered by Bell was not physical, but mental.
"Don't hurt me!" Bell blocked his vital parts with both hands: "Don't hurt me..."
Nolan whispered a few words to the doctor and winked. Emma Thomas understood and personally led Mene and others to the door of the studio, closing the door of the studio and the nearby safe passage.
Another doctor came to Martin and asked, "Mr. Davis, you..."
Martin pointed to his shoulders and chest: "It hurts a lot." He shook his head again: "My head is also a little dizzy."
The doctor quickly called someone over.
Director Nolan rushed over immediately and asked: "Martin, are you okay?"
Martin shook his head: "Batman's fists are very heavy." He asked for advice: "Director, I want to call the police. I was attacked and the other party was clamoring to kill me."
Emma Thomas came quickly, squatted in front of Martin, and said, "Can you give us some time to deal with it? I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
The clown makeup was still on, and Martin's face was pale: "Emma, Chris, I believe you, you can not call the police for the time being, but this matter cannot end like this."
Emma Thomas promised: "It will never end like this."
Nolan looked back at Bell who was mumbling nervously. There were now more than a dozen behind-the-scenes staff and a dozen extras in the studio. They all saw what just happened. Not only did Bell move first, but he also He hit Martin twice and shouted frantically that he wanted to kill Martin.
Those actors from Atlanta were definitely on Martin's side.
Thinking of this, Nolan couldn't help but take another look at Bell. This guy is really troublesome, making trouble like this.
Or is it too deep into the drama?
Nolan suddenly had an idea, but it was not appropriate now. It was more important to deal with the immediate matter first.
On one side, Martin was comforted, but on the other side, Bell was giving people a huge headache.
A person who has a nervous attack and is nagging is simply unreasonable.
Emma Thomas did not forget to warn everyone in the studio that according to their contract, everything that happened during the filming was not allowed to be disclosed to media reporters without the consent of the crew.
Bell was taken to the hospital.
After taking off his makeup, Martin also went to the hospital for a check-up. He kept complaining of dizziness and heart discomfort, and even stayed in the hospital temporarily.
Bruce went to inquire about the news, and when he came back he said: "Bell lost a few teeth, and other injuries were superficial. However, the doctor believes that he has suffered major mental trauma and needs to see a doctor who specializes in psychological and psychiatric treatment. He cannot continue for the time being." Stimulated.”
Martin nodded and asked, "Where's the crew?"
"Emma Thomas issued a gag order, and Charles Rowan and Orlin are coming from Los Angeles." Bruce roughly said: "Nolan may have some ideas and said he wants to talk to you alone later."
Martin is not surprised at all: "Nolan is not only outstanding in his directing skills, but also has great ideas in other aspects."
And this big scene happened according to Nolan's style.
There was a knock on the door and Bruce went to open the door.
Robert, with a slicked back hair and a big head, entered the ward, put down the flowers in his hand, and asked: "Martin, are you okay?"
Martin smiled: "I'm fine."
Robert had known Martin for a long time and knew that he would be fine. He immediately took out a disk and handed it to Bruce: "A video taken by an extra on the spot. As soon as she came out, I asked for the camera. She didn't have time to copy it. There was only this video." Version."
Bruce put it away: "In case of need?"
Robert is very confident: "They have no problem. They are all from Atlanta and have families and homes."
Martin said: "I can rest assured that you will do your job."
Robert added: "Jerome and Hart wanted to see you, but I stopped them."
Martin thought for a moment and said, "If they want to come, just let them come."
Robert didn't stay long and quickly left.
Bruce found a laptop and watched the video. The angle and clarity were acceptable, and it faithfully recorded the entire process of the conflict from beginning to end.
Bell can be clearly heard yelling: "I'm going to kill you!"
Martin said: "Put it away, I hope you won't use it."
Bruce asked: "Do you think Nolan can handle this?"
"If it were Emma Thomas and Charles Rowan, it probably wouldn't be possible." In the past few months, Martin has fully experienced Nolan's abilities outside of film production, and said: "What I prepared was originally based on It came from Nolan’s idea, he is a very powerful director and will not miss it.”
…………
A few hours later, Bale's agent Parker walked into the offices of the Dark Knight crew at Gray Film and Television Center and met director Nolan and producer Charles Rowan.
"I just came back from the hospital and saw Bell. He was in very bad condition." Parker didn't get any useful information from the nervous Bell. He reported the specific situation back to the company, notified Bell's wife, and immediately came over to investigate. : "The crew must be responsible for all this!"
Nolan responded: "We will not shirk the responsibility of the crew." He picked up the remote control and played the previously shot video: "You should watch the live footage first."
Parker put his hands on his hips to make himself more imposing: "No matter what happened, it is an established fact that my client was hurt..."
Before he finished speaking, his attention was attracted by the video on the LCD screen opposite.
Bell came from the door of the studio, attacked Martin Davis, and yelled that he wanted to kill Martin Davis. Martin Davis was forced to fight back after being attacked by Bell twice...
Parker unconsciously lowered his hand on his waist. What happened to the crew? Is Bell crazy?
Nolan continued: "Martin wanted to call the police, but I stopped him, and the crew finally calmed him down."
Parker stared at the video screen and heard Bell's almost crazy roar.
He shouted that he was going to kill Martin and even moved his hands!
Nolan added: "Martin was also injured. He described that his heart was not feeling well and his head had been dizzy. He was hospitalized for observation. If he insists on calling the police, Bell will be in great trouble."
He deliberately lowered his voice: "There are not only people from the crew who came from Los Angeles, but also more than ten extras from Atlanta. Martin is originally from Atlanta. If they are asked to testify, Bell will be very, very passive, and the crew will have no good solution."
Parker's attitude changed automatically, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Not to mention that Bell is mentally stimulated now, judging from the video, even if Martin Davis seriously injured Bell in the counterattack, there won't be much of a problem.
Bell is 100% at fault in this matter.
Seeing Parker's softened attitude, Nolan further said: "I personally have a feeling that Bale and Martin are too involved in the play. Maybe the antagonism and hatred between Batman and the Joker extends to the two actors."
He first separated the crew and himself: "I guide the two actors every day and ask them every half day. The crew also arranges visits by relatives and friends to help them relax. But there seems to be something wrong with Bell's family. Cixibi came to visit the class, and the two had a serious quarrel."
As a new-age director with excellent shooting and production skills and other outstanding talents, Nolan put the blame back on Bale.
Parker could tell that if he held the crew accountable, the crew might ask Martin to hold Bale accountable.
"I will not report it to the Screen Actors Guild and the insurance company for the time being." Parker listened to the conversation between Martin and Bale in the video and said, "Bale probably didn't do it on purpose. I think he and Martin were both too involved in the drama."
In the video, the conversation between the two is very similar to that between Bat and the Joker: "The relationship between Batman and the Joker has seriously affected the two actors. Bale is not the kind of actor who would actively harm others."
Nolan added: "I think so too. The crew will be fully responsible for their medical expenses."
"This was a complete accident. Bale did not really mean to hurt Martin, and Martin has always been friendly to Bale." Charles Rowan said: "Everyone in the crew can prove that Martin is very friendly to Bale..."
When Parker came, he contacted some acquaintances on the crew, which was very detrimental to Bell.
According to those people, Martin always greeted Bell with a smile, introduced his friends enthusiastically, and had a very friendly attitude.
Bell, however, always treated Martin with a cold face and showed hostility several times.
It wasn't just them, the extras from Atlanta were talking a lot about it.
Charles Rowan said: "What affects the relationship between the two can only be caused by getting too involved in the drama and the opposition between the characters."
When he came over, he contacted a third party to guarantee that Bell's remaining action scenes could be completed by a stunt double wearing the Batsuit in half a morning.
Regarding personal insurance and the like, it depends on how it is discussed, especially Martin's personal attitude, which is the key.
Nolan said: "The key is Martin. Once he calls the police, the crew will be in trouble only. Bell..."
"We'll talk later." Parker wanted to know more.
But after careful inquiry, apart from the rumors from the crew, other aspects were extremely unfavorable to Bell.
If this matter is not handled properly, it may seriously affect Bell's acting career.
The premise is that Bell's mental state can be stabilized.
