Chapter 696 Music Master
Things develop in waves and spiral.
The same goes for Hollywood. Audience tastes change almost every few years. Therefore, film companies must constantly satisfy the audience's demanding appetites to ensure the company's continued profitability.
From the suspense films, musicals and gangster films of the golden age, to the action films of the 1980s and 1990s, to the rapidly developing sci-fi epic films, to today's superhero films.
The endless variety of movie types can dazzle the audience.
The development of movies seems to have reached a threshold now. How to attract audiences has become a subject that film companies are racking their brains to study.
Superhero movies have been around for a long time, starting with the "Superman" movie and then to the latest "Spider-Man 3". It can be seen that with the advancement of technology, superhero movies are becoming more and more sophisticated.
But essentially all superhero movies still stay in the area most commonly discussed in mainstream movies, that is, justice must prevail and bad guys must be defeated.
"The Dark Knight" actually does not deviate from this category, but as Charles Rowan said after watching the finished film edited by Gilbert Jr.
"The Dark Knight" transcends the theme of superhero comics and explores profound issues that have never been seen before in a superhero movie.
The dark and realistic style is striking, which is rare in superhero movies.
There are not many superheroes who can carry the dark style, and Batman is the most suitable one.
Warner Pictures was a little hesitant internally when they saw the edited version of Little Gilbert without adding the soundtrack.
CEO Keeli Ross directly questioned: "This style of film is rare on the market, especially superhero movies.
I doubt whether the market will accept it."
Faced with questions from Warner Pictures executives, Gilbert Jr. said: "I can't guarantee that the market will like it. This is not something I can decide.
What I can guarantee is to make a movie to the best of my ability. If Warner Pictures is not satisfied, they can find a new editor to edit "The Dark Knight". "Happy Rider," I promise, I have no objections."
The other Warner executives smoothed things over: "No, no, no, Director Gilbert Jr.'s cut is definitely the best version, and we at Warner absolutely support it."
Kelly Rose still wanted to object, but the executives were unanimous and her objection was invalid.
Keeley Rose had no prestige at Warner Pictures. If she hadn't been sent by the group company, the executives would have removed her long ago.
Faced with such a major matter related to the life and death of DC movies, executives obviously still believe in Gilbert Jr., a super director.
Kelly Rose was very unhappy. She wanted to wait for the "Superman" she directed to be a hit to see what these people had to say.
After the internal preview, Hans Zimmer's score work has been completed, and "The Dark Knight" has reached the stage of adding a score.
This time Hans Zimmer's score style has changed a lot from the first film, using more symphonies to enhance the epic and grand feeling of the film.
Many fans joked that little Gilbert actually filmed the MV for Hans Zimmer's score, which proves how good Hans Zimmer's score work is.
It was because of his outstanding scoring work that Hans Zimmer was favored by many Hollywood directors such as Gilbert Jr., who asked him to score movies.
In his spare time, little Gilbert also discussed with Hans Zimmer how the soundtrack can enhance the film and how to give the audience emotional support.
Hans Zimmer is a blaster. He advocates using loud soundtracks to drive emotions, allowing the soundtrack to occupy the audience's hearing and follow the mood of the soundtrack.
Many Hollywood soundtrack masters are quietists, advocating that soundtracks are auxiliary to movies and quietly lead the audience's emotions. Gilbert Jr., the master of soundtracks from both genres, has collaborated. There is no saying that one is better than the other, but that the soundtrack should suit the style of the film.
When Hans Zimmer produced the soundtrack, he used scores of different styles and moods. These styles and emotions are basically three people in the movie.
They are Batman Bruce Wayne, Joker, and Two-Face Harvey Dent.
The overall feeling of the clown-style soundtrack is very depressing. The soundtrack is like noise and makes people restless.
Hans Zimmer used a lot of electronic sounds and discordant tones to compose the score for this part, using the score to show the unsettling feeling of the clown.
Batman is divided into two parts, one is Bruce Wayne and the other is Batman.
In the Bruce Wayne part, Hans Zimmer used a lot of modern music style, intertwined with the beautiful melody composed of cello.
You can hear in the melody that Bruce Wayne has a touch of sadness and loneliness.
The Batman part is a majestic and tragic symphony, very rich and gorgeous, just like Batman coming on stage.
The Harvey Dent part is just like his destiny in the film, with light and dark at first, and variations on the Batman theme, suggesting that he takes a completely different direction.
Gilbert was undoubtedly very satisfied with the score work, and it was quickly added to the feature film, making "The Dark Knight" a complete film.

But just when the film was officially closed, Charles Rowan sent news that Christian Bale was arrested by the police for beating someone.
“What’s going on?” Gilbert Jr. asked Christian Bale’s agent.
His agent replied: "Chris had a conflict with his family and then beat someone. The outside world does not know yet."
Because we maintain a good relationship with the Los Angeles Police Department and have long-term sponsorship. Knowing that Christian Bale had recently collaborated with Gilbert Jr., the police station immediately notified Gilbert Jr.'s side.
Little Gilbert frowned: "There will definitely be media hyping up this matter, let's bail Chris out first!"
Christian Bale has a bad temper, in fact many Hollywood stars have very bad tempers. Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron, etc. all have bad tempers.
When Naomi Watts was filming "King Kong", she didn't give Peter Jackson a bad look.
While filming "Hancock," Charlize Theron scolded star Brad Pitt until he couldn't even lift his head.
There are countless other celebrities who beat others, engage in domestic violence, drink alcohol, and even take drugs.
Behind many Hollywood stars there is a very weird family, such as Britney Spears’ weird family. If it weren't for her weird family, maybe Britney Spears would still be the queen of singing today.
The family behind Christian Bale is not simple either. Some of them gamble, drink, and even commit crimes. These are all vampires sitting on Christian Bale, but the media doesn't care.
So as soon as Christian Bale came out, Gilbert Jr. issued a media hush order on him, temporarily preventing him from accepting interviews or appearing in public.
Then the controlled media began to hype up Christian Bale’s bizarre family and portray him as an innocent person to gain public sympathy.
Of course, competitors would not miss this good opportunity, so domestic violence, irritability, and so-called victims of Chris' violence all appeared.
Needless to say, the purpose is to prevent the sales of "The Dark Knight" in the summer season.
