American fame and fortune

Hearing the shouts of movie fans, Martin waved to the parking lot guardrail, where at least dozens of clowns gathered.

All of them had miserable faces and blood-red mouths, like demons from hell.

Martin, who always dotes on his fans, immediately raised his phone to take photos.

Among the crowd, there were two clowns holding long plastic pipes, and they quickly hung up banners with slogans of tribute written on them.

"We are agents of chaos!"

On the banner with a white cloth background, a line of blood-red letters stood out.

Martin took several photos in succession through the guardrail and waved to them: "Goodbye."

Outside, a clown closest to the guardrail suddenly put his hand into his mouth and pulled the corners of his blood-red mouth toward his ears.

The mouth is so big that it's scary, and the whole person's expression is extremely weird.

He laughed at Martin and said a line from the clown: "This world is really ridiculous!"

These crazy clown admirers seem to regard all the clown's words and deeds as the Bible.

Martin just felt weird, waved at him, and walked towards the parking area of ​​the battery car.

After getting on the battery car, Bruce said while driving: "Fortunately, the clown's role is very few, otherwise the United States would be in chaos again."

"Our purpose is to create happiness for America!" Martin opened Twitter, called up the photo he just took, and prepared to tweet: "Happy America!"

He remembered a line from the clown and used the photo as the background as the title - this scene seemed familiar!

A tweet went out.

Before the battery car arrived at the door of the "Interstellar" studio, the tweet was liked and retweeted by countless people.

…………

Outside the parking lot, the clown Hubble saw Martin walking away, put down the hand that held the corner of his mouth, and slowly dispersed like other clowns.

He walked around in a wide circle and came to an alley near a fast food restaurant. He quickly went to the trash can tray, opened the lid and rummaged through the remaining junk food.

After pulling out a nearly complete burger, Hubble didn't have time to be happy when he saw a homeless man in the alley rushing over.

This kind of territory-grabbing behavior is taboo among homeless people.

Hubble packed his hamburger, turned around and ran away. Since he had not been homeless for a long time, he was in much better condition than the old tramps, so he quickly got rid of them.

When he came to the Warner Studio Tour area, where police patrol cars frequently passed, he found a place to sit down near the street painters, took out a cloth hat from his pocket, opened it and pressed it down with a piece of gravel.

People sat on the floor and ate burgers.

A few of the tourists and passers-by, or other clowns, would throw coins or small-denomination dollars into their hats.

From the moment Hubble failed to invest in stocks and went bankrupt, he no longer cared about the eyes of these people.

He took out an old BlackBerry. A small piece of the screen was broken in the upper left corner, and the cracked back cover was held together with tape.

As an avid clown, Hubble is an organized man.

He logged on to Twitter and saw the tweet posted by Martin, who he followed. He couldn't help but laugh. He forwarded it to the leader of the small team, and then sent it to the team's group.

Hubble typed a message: "This world we live in is ridiculous."

The group was quiet and no one spoke for the time being.

Aurora, Colorado.

James Holmes, a doctor of neurology, came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, put on a bathrobe with a clown's face on it, and entered the living room.

There are many picture frames hanging on the living room wall of the wooden house, and some movie posters are also pasted.

All of these protagonists are the same character - the clown!

"The Dark Knight" version of Martin's Joker look.

In addition, the TV cabinets, shelves, and glass display cabinets are filled with various clown peripherals.

Especially the glass showcases are filled with various versions of handmade clown carvings.

James picked up the iPhone placed on the shelf. The back case of the phone had been replaced and now it was a customized clown back case.

The clown held a blood-red pen and wrote a line of blood-red words - I am the agent of chaos!

James found a prompt on his phone, clicked on Twitter and saw the message forwarded by his teammate.

That's what Martin tweeted.

James then opened the group, looked at Hubble's message, and replied: We will change the world forever.

Someone else in the group said, "Let's do what clowns do best!"

James didn't reply, took off his bathrobe, put on a dark suit, exactly the same as Martin's character, then sat at the dressing table and stared at the poster taped to the mirror.

He opened the makeup box, took out the oil paint, painted his face a pale white one at a time, added a bloody mouth, and messed up his hair. Except for the outline of his face, everything else was almost the same as the Martin version of the Joker.

"I am the real clown." James grinned: "I can bring the clown into the real world!"

He opened a dresser drawer and pulled out a compact revolver, the same model the Joker used in the movie.

With the muzzle of the gun pressed against his forehead, James pulled the trigger. There was a clicking sound, but no bullet was fired.

The cell phone beeps.

James clicked on the group and replied: "Wait for me!"

The other two people replied one after another: "Waiting for you."

The three met on the Internet on a forum set up by Joker fans. The forum style has anti-social tendencies.

But most of the Joker fans just make some comments online, and a small number of them will use the clown's appearance to engage in zero-dollar shopping or robberies. Only a very small number of them will become like James and others. .

James took out the bullet box, pulled out a yellow-orange bullet, stuffed it into the bullet chamber, and after filling it, he turned the revolver crazily.

The revolver spun a dozen times and then stopped.

James grinned widely, smiled, raised the gun to his temple, and pulled the trigger.

There was a snap, but the gun did not hit the bullet.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

James put down the gun, laughed loudly, and said, "What doesn't kill me makes me crazier!"

The laughter continued for several minutes.

James picked up his phone and sent a message to the group: "Bob, Kevin, can you go back to the past?"

Bob was the first to return: "Bankrupt, everything was taken away by the bank. If it weren't for you, my mobile phone would be stopped."

A man named Kevin said: "The convenience store opened with a loan was subjected to zero-dollar purchases by black people every day, and in the end it could only go bankrupt. It's not that I don't work hard, it's that the world is too crazy, and I want to give back to the world with chaos!"

James sent a message: "Disrupt all order, and everything will return to chaos. Chaos can bring fairness!"

Kevin replied: "Just do what clowns do best!"

James asked: "Bob, are you sure there is a channel to get the goods?"

"Sure." Bob responded with a crazy expression like a clown: "As long as you have money, you can get ordinary weapons."

James gave the order: "Kevin, you go to Los Angeles now to meet Bob and wait for me to pass."

"Okay, boss." Kevin responded with a clown's excited and laughing expression.

"Now, I'm shaking with excitement." James is different from his two companions. He has a high degree of education, a PhD in neurology from the University of Colorado, and a high income.

But he felt that the world was so rotten and disgusting.

When he first worshiped the clown, James didn't think much of it. In recent years, he found that society has become more and more strange and weird. All kinds of monsters and ghosts have jumped out. It's okay to be a monster yourself, but others can't. To speak is to be guilty.

The entire country and society is filled with an aura of decay.

James plans to change everything in his own way.

And the way he chose was to be a clown!

"Crazy is spreading, just like the gravity of the earth. As long as we push behind, the chaotic justice we pursue will come!" James sent the last message of the day: "You wait for me, I will rush over to join you. !”

"Okay!" The other two replied with the same message.

James immediately opened a clown group in the same city, and many people in the group are organizing self-driving trips to Los Angeles to attend the world premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises."

He also signed up to participate.

A phone call soon came to confirm. James confirmed the meeting time and place. He loaded the revolver and stuffed it into his pocket. He entered the basement through the storage room and rummaged through the cushions of the abandoned sofa to find two black leather suitcases.

This was cash that he had exchanged a few months ago, and the denominations were mostly $20, the favorite of gang members.

In the afternoon, James drove into a car painted with a clown portrait, kept his clown costume, joined the others, and rushed to Los Angeles together.

…………

Warner Bros. Studios, the studio behind Interstellar.

"The film won't start shooting until next year." Nolan told Martin about some work matters: "I plan to start shooting after the Oscars next year, and you will adjust the schedule."

Martin responded: "There is no problem with the schedule. I can join the team at any time next year."

Nolan said with a smile: "Working with you always saves trouble and effort."

Martin also laughed: "Because I don't like to mess up like some people."

"By the way, if you have the right time, you can join the crew early." Nolan suggested: "You have experienced a trip to Mars and can teach other actors about space survival experience."

Martin asked: "Are the other actors confirmed?"

Nolan said directly: "The heroine has been confirmed to be Jessica Chastain, who worked with you on "The Martian"."

The two chatted for a while, and Martin took the initiative to leave.

He left Nolan's office and met Daniel from Warner Pictures.

The latter took the initiative to shake hands and walked out together, saying a few words about so-called old friends, and said: "I am promoting a new movie project of Warner Pictures, and there should be a role suitable for you."

Martin thought for a while and said, "You can send the script and project directly to Thomas or Jessica. I will take the time to read it recently and give you a clear answer."

Daniel said: "I'll send someone over later." He asked: "Are you and Jack satisfied with the arrangements for the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises"?"

Martin nodded: "The old and new generations of clowns will walk on the red carpet together, no problem."
