Rant Show: I Angrily Criticized a Million Parents

Chapter 326 Reaching the Global Box Office Championship!

Just when everyone was worried about Harvey, the Joker took another extreme action: he planted bombs on the two evacuation ships arranged by the Positive and Necromancer.

The two ships were carrying ordinary citizens and prisoners, respectively.

He placed explosive devices on both ships, and one of them had to be detonated before midnight, or both ships would be destroyed!
The clown's extreme behavior kept the audience on the edge of their seats, worried about the people on both boats.

This is a difficult choice!

In a life-or-death decision, ordinary citizens voted not to detonate the ship containing the prisoners, while one of the prisoners, a leader, threw the remote control directly into the river.

When the audience saw this scene, they were worried that the Joker would detonate the two ships.

Just as the Joker was about to detonate the bomb, Batman suddenly appeared and successfully stopped the Joker's evil deeds.

Immediately, the entire audience in the theater cheered, for heroes always win the hearts of the audience.

Batman easily defeated the Joker and suspended him high in the air.

However, at that moment, the Joker uttered a sentence that sent chills down the spines of the audience.

"You see, madness is like gravity; it only takes a gentle push to have an effect. Besides, in a mental hospital, we can even share a room."

In addition, director Nolan deliberately used the vertical rotation of the camera, sometimes showing the Joker in the front and sometimes in the back, just like his views, making it impossible for people to distinguish between truth and falsehood, right and wrong.

Sure enough, confining him to a mental hospital had no effect, because Harvey had completely gone mad and lost his mind.

Harvey kidnaps Gordon and his family, taking them to the building where Rachel died, and decides to use a coin to decide the fate of himself, Batman, and Gordon's son.

Seeing this, the audience was once again amazed by the Joker's cleverness; everything was within his calculations.

Batman ultimately succeeded in stopping Harvey, but if word got out, it would become the cause of chaos throughout Gotham City, which was the Joker's ultimate goal.

At the end of the film, Batman decides to take full responsibility, is hunted by the police, and is given the title of Dark Knight.

Batman was pushed to the opposite side of the entire city's residents.

Swish!
At the end of the film, the lights come on and the credits appear!

The entire theater was silent; everyone was immersed in the story of the film.

The Joker and Batman are like the two poles of Yin and Yang; their confrontation is so exciting that the philosophical questions involved deeply move the audience.

Applause erupted!

A moment later, enthusiastic applause erupted in the theater.

"Wow! That's awesome! This is the best movie I've ever seen in my life!!"

"This is amazing! No superhero movie has ever given me such a profound intellectual impact."

"This is not just an entertaining movie, but a philosophical work! It's fantastic!"

"Great director Nolan, great Joker actor, great Batman, I love you both!"

"I'm so excited to know who the actor who plays the Joker is, he's amazing!"

"That's right! It completely surpasses Batman's performance!"

Hearing the whispers of the audience around him, Bell glanced at Zhou Yang with displeasure: "Zhou, it seems you've successfully stolen all the limelight."

Zhou Yang smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, you're the main character."

At the same time, Nolan and the entire cast and crew thanked the fans in the audience. Finally, Nolan, along with Bale and Zhou Yang, personally signed autographs for the audience in the theater.

When everyone returned to the hotel, it was already four in the morning, and they hurriedly went to rest.

The following day, the global box office figures for Batman: The Dark Knight were officially released.

Batman: The Dark Knight grossed $2.47 million worldwide on its opening day!
It broke the record for the highest-grossing opening day worldwide!
Even more astonishing is that "The Dark Knight" only reached 53 countries during its global premiere, yet it broke the record for the highest-grossing opening day worldwide.

It is particularly worth mentioning that in China, the film achieved an astonishing box office of 3.5 million RMB on its opening day!
Although it did not surpass the opening day box office record set by "The Wandering Earth" in China, it broke the opening day box office record for foreign films in China.

Zhou Yang had just gotten up.

Nolan rushed excitedly into Zhou Yang's room, holding his phone and exclaiming, "Zhou, look! 'The Dark Knight' grossed $2.47 million on its opening day and a remarkable 3.5 million RMB in China! Thank you so much!"

Nolan understood that without Zhou Yang's help, although China Film Group's box office performance was very high, it would never have reached the peak of 3.5 million RMB.

This also means that his long-awaited Batman trilogy will not be unable to be fully presented due to box office issues, which Nolan is very pleased about.

Zhou Yang smiled and said, "Director Nolan, this is the result of our joint efforts, and it has little to do with me personally."

“Don’t be modest,” Nolan said excitedly. “Warner Bros. executives just called me. If the box office in China exceeds $4 million, they will reward you with ten million dollars.”

A reward of ten million dollars?
Zhou Yang was somewhat surprised; ten million US dollars was already the salary of a top Hollywood star.

Of course, top stars either receive a salary of over 20 million US dollars or have a guaranteed minimum of 10 million US dollars and participate in global profit sharing.

For someone like Zhou Yang, who is new to Hollywood, there is simply no chance of receiving a share of the profits.

However, Warner Bros. awarded him a separate bonus of ten million US dollars to express their gratitude and appreciation. To Warner Bros.' surprise, the film grossed 3.5 million RMB on its opening day.

"Director Nolan, please convey my gratitude to Warner Bros." Zhou Yang requested.

“No problem,” Nolan readily agreed.

Over the next week, Zhou Yang continued to accompany Nolan on promotional tours in various countries.

Meanwhile, the box office of "The Dark Knight" continues to climb.

The global box office reached $2.47 million on its opening day!
The following day, the global box office reached $3.02 million!
On the third day, the weekend ended and box office revenue declined somewhat, but it still achieved a remarkable $2.37 million!

On the fourth day, the global box office reached $2.35 million!
Ultimately, the first-week box office totaled $14 billion!
It set a new record for the highest-grossing opening weekend worldwide!
Zhou Yang's portrayal of the clown resonated deeply with every viewer, leaving an unforgettable impression.

The Joker's lines sparked a frenzy on social media in Europe and America.

“I believe that what failed to end you will make you even more…eccentric.”

Why are you so serious?

"In this world, the only wise thing to do is break the rules. Tonight, you will break your own rules."

"Create some minor chaos, disrupt the existing order, and everything will fall into disarray. And I am the symbol of chaos. Do you know the benefits of chaos? It brings justice!"

"This world is truly ridiculous!"

"You see, madness is like gravity; it only takes a gentle push."
