"Huh...huh..."
A sturdy gasp sounded in a simple gym. A deep-haired young man in his twenties turned off the treadmill, picked up a large white towel, wiped his sweat and walked out of the gym. ↖,
He bypassed the not-so-large living room, opened his studio, and walked in.
There is a long wooden table against the wall in the studio. On the wall behind the wooden table is a huge picture frame. The person in the picture frame is painted in an exaggerated clown costume, and the big red mouth seems to be bleeding.
Standing quietly in front of the wooden table, this young man named James Holmes stared at the clown in a daze. This is his favorite movie character, he likes his wanton behavior, and he prefers what he makes. Chaos, this is his belief!
On the table below the photo frame, there are tools that can create chaos-guns, bullets and bombs!
From dropping out of school to being unemployed and now, James Holmes has had enough of this society, and only chaos is his pursuit.
He was born and raised in the most densely populated United States, near San Diego, California, Mexico.
Although California has such a developed entertainment industry park as "Hollywood", since Arnold Schwarzenegger became governor in 2003, he has fallen into a panic of unemployment.
James Holmes is extremely agile. He has always taken the lead in his studies as a top student. The teacher at Xijing High School he attended called him a "silent but absolutely super IQ" student.
After graduating from high school, James Holmes was admitted to the University of California, Los Angeles to study neurology. After receiving a bachelor's degree, Holmes went directly to a master's degree.
But after graduation, this genius who was described by the professor of neurology as "possible to bring breakthroughs in American neurology" was helplessly becoming a member of the California unemployed army. There was nothing to do for a year or so, which made James Holmes, who had always performed well in school, stopped going out to find a job, and instead was "sullen at home every day."
The only thing that can accompany James Holmes is the movie.
When he saw the clown in "The Dark Knight", the top student who graduated in neurology suddenly realized that he instantly found his spiritual belief and life pursuit.
But want to achieve such a pursuit. Money is essential.
Without money, it is impossible to make a city into a panic like an idol. James Holmes was quite distressed about this, so he had to go to a bar every day to get drunk and became a famous drunk on this street in Los Angeles.
Perhaps it was lucky enough. One day when he returned from a drunk in a bar, James Holmes fell drunk on the side of the road and was watched by a private detective. The other party went through a necessary inspection. A deal was concluded with him.
Thinking of that deal, James Holmes admired that he was born a criminal genius. Under the careful planning and implementation of his high IQ, no one has discovered that Van Diesel's death in a car accident was not an accident at all!
Such an accident caused a huge sensation, which gave James Holmes a certain degree of psychological satisfaction, and made him believe that he naturally has all the conditions to become a clown. The accident also brought him In return for a large sum of money, in front of a huge sum of money. Such a recognized accident can no longer satisfy James Holmes' psychological needs.
He needs to create a bigger mess, preferably like a clown. Can cause the whole city to panic.
With money, there are so many things that can be done in this country. James Holmes joined a firearms military enthusiast club a year ago to learn shooting and conventional military actions.
Through illegal channels on the Internet, James Holmes also purchased about 6000 rounds of ammunition, half of which were Glock pistol ammunition. And more than 300 shotgun bullets with huge firepower.
After buying these bullets online, James Holmes, who is very proficient in chemistry, made a series of bombs of "unimaginable complexity" at his home. These bombs were densely covered on the walls and ceiling of Holmes's bedroom. Later he bought them. It has smoke bombs, riot shields, black body armor, knee pads, neck protectors and wrist protectors, plus the Colt ar-15 carbine. He almost turned his home into a small arsenal.
Picking up an ar-15 assault rifle, James Holmes expertly dismantled and maintained it, and now he is ready to wait for a suitable time, he can be like a clown, the entire city Brought into panic.
What is the right time?
James Holmes turned on the TV, and it didn't take long for a movie advertisement to appear.
"In less than ten days, the most important summer movie of 2012, "The Dark Knight Rises", will open in North America."
"Looking back at the first two works of the series: "Batman: Hour of War" tells about Batman's unfortunate childhood and traumatized youth, and provides a realistic and credible origin for the birth of this superhero; "The Dark Knight" The darkness and light of human nature are extracted from the thrilling confrontation between good and evil, which pushes comics and movies to a new peak, and is regarded as a classic handed down by countless fans."
"Now, Duke Rosenberg, who has been respected by enthusiastic fans as a god-level director, has once again shot, condensing the entire trilogy into an epic magnificent ending. No wonder fans are looking forward to "The Dark Knight Rises". ."
"There are few movies that get as much attention as "The Dark Knight Rises" before they are released. The trailers set a new download record as soon as they were released. The pre-sale tickets were snatched and even the length of the film became a topic of hype. Movie fans are contagious by the enthusiasm of'bat fans' and'Duke fans'. Together, we track any clues leaked from the film. Every prop, every photo, and every detail of the trailer can arouse everyone. Endless guesses and associations about the plot direction and the fate of the characters."

He will be severely injured, he will be isolated and helpless, and even imprisoned. An evil leader with superior wisdom and physical strength takes control of the situation.

The end of this year also undertakes a bright new beginning."
"Are you already excited and can't wait to watch "The Dark Knight Rises"?"
When he saw this, James Holmes had assembled his ar-15 assault rifle, raised the muzzle, pulled the trigger, and the sound of the firing pin hitting the hollow chamber...
He has found the best time!
May is approaching, and Warner Bros. also held the first full-film trial screening of "The Dark Knight Rises", and then the media began to frantically tout the film.
“The film’s tight rhythm and confusing plot quickly brought the audience into the dark city of Gotham. The more than 80 minutes of imax footage, as well as a large number of action and blasting scenes, created a majestic epic atmosphere; In addition, the twists and turns of Batman's fate, as well as the echoes of the story and the plot of the first two episodes, make "The Dark Knight Rises" draw the ending point of the Batman Prequel trilogy."
The New York Times solemnly recommended this film to the United States in a series of articles.
"Duke Rosenberg used the imax camera to shoot the 89-minute imax footage in the film, showing a large number of fighting and explosion scenes. The imax screen not only brings a larger image, but also gives the film a way beyond others. The grandeur of a superhero movie."
"In "The Rise of the Black Knight", there is a rare'Legion Battle' in superhero movies. Thousands of good and evil men and horses face each other, and Gotham City is enveloped by a **** war. In addition, Batman's new mount— —Bat fighter has a wonderful appearance in the film. The fighter is 9 meters long. The design inspiration partly comes from the famous Apache gunship and Harrier vertical take-off and landing fighter. The fighter can take off and land vertically, and it is also very flexible to shuttle between tall buildings. The scenes of several air flights are impressive."
"This film brings together many powerful actors, Christian Bale, Gary Oldman, Michael Kane, etc. Needless to say, the newly added Gail Gadot, Sienna Miller, Marg Robbie and James Franco also performed well. As the most important villain, Bain played by Dawn Johnson does not have the clown played by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. Unforgettable, but also worthy of praise."
"In general, every actor in the film has performed above the standard. If the group performance of "The Avengers" is a "horizontal expansion" from one superhero to another, then the "Dark Knight Rises" The group performance is a'vertical development' from superheroes to ordinary police officers and even ordinary citizens."
A week before the film’s release, the promotion and marketing of "The Dark Knight Rise" entered the craziest stage. News related to this film can be seen everywhere on platforms such as newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, Internet, and outdoor advertising. Do everything possible to arouse public interest and attract people to pre-purchase movie tickets or go to the theater to buy tickets.
Neither Warner Bros. nor Duke would be so stupid as to think that the film should naturally attract fans, thereby relaxing the promotion and marketing offensive, but adopted a very aggressive strategy.
"The Dark Knight Rises" will be released in North America and nearly a hundred countries and regions around the world on May 4th. The promotion and marketing spread from North America and quickly spread to every market that was released.
However, some things always happen unexpectedly. Just as May entered, Duke received a "death threat" email in the public fuel tank. (To be continued.)
ps: Ask for monthly and recommended tickets!
