Chapter 2265 Gotham Music Festival (Part )
Gotham became cooler in the evening, and the opening ceremony of the Gotham Music Festival began with a cheer from the mayor of Gotham City.
As the prelude of "Dream of Fool's Village", the theme song of the Gotham Music Festival, sounded, huge cheers broke out from the audience. A figure in a gorgeous purple dress walked onto the stage, gently lifted the hem of her skirt, showed a bright smile, and waved to the audience.
Bruce looked up at Selina, who was radiant on the stage. He never thought that this girl from the slums now looked like a real Hollywood star.
Although Selena, who played supporting roles in several movies in a row, did not become an overnight sensation, her full vitality, wild charm and cat-like mystery still left a deep impression on audiences around the world. She has accumulated quite a large number of fans, and many tourists present came just for her.
In order to promote the music festival, the government of course also funded the creation of a theme song for the festival. Although rap is good, it is not a very popular music genre, so the theme song is still the energetic and dynamic jazz music.
This type of music is very suitable for Selena's singing voice, perhaps because of her black ancestry, or perhaps because she has lived in the lower class for a long time. Her pronunciation has the deep bass unique to brown people, and the resonance of her chest and brain cavity is extremely stable. In short, she has the flavor of a queen.
This style of music is most suitable for getting the whole audience excited. As soon as Selina opened her mouth, the audience erupted in cheers one louder than the other. Everyone was twisting their bodies to the exciting music. Bruce saw Selina winking at him.
As the song ended, the atmosphere was brought to a climax. The host gave his opening remarks in a high-pitched voice, and the audience burst into laughter at his black humor jokes one after another.
The next person to take the stage was a talk show host, who was also a native of Gotham and used to be a middle-level gangster. Therefore, the gang stories he told were real and interesting. The bold jokes in the stories made many rappers from gangs sweat profusely.
Next came two rap songs from P. Diddy’s label, both by newcomers, who had obviously reached a collaboration with the organizer.
Then there was a performance by the famous Gotham University Lala Dance Troupe on the East Coast, which once again brought the atmosphere to a climax. After that, two other dance troupes inserted a soft advertisement for the Emperor City Casino in the form of dance. However, because the atmosphere was warm enough, the effect was very significant.
"I think everyone is a little tired after watching the dance for such a long time. What? Aren't you tired?" The host made an exaggerated shocked expression and said, "I have to ask the male compatriots present to restrain themselves a little. Look at the expressions of your female companions. What? What did this lady say? No, no, no, we can't perform the Magic Mike show here, but you know, see you upstairs in Wayne Building at 8 o'clock tonight."
"Okay, okay, friends, let's get the blood flowing back into your brains. Next, we must invite a comedy master. You may not have heard of his name often, but his wonderful comedy performance will surely amaze you."
When the host said this, the Batmans in the audience had a bad feeling. Almost all Batmen were a little allergic to the term "comedy master", but they didn't think that the Batman in this universe would really be crazy enough to invite the Joker up.
The clown really came up.
But it was not the clown Jack from this universe. He was not a comedian, but a truck driver. He should be delivering the second to last truckload of goods to the Wayne Hotel and he hadn't gotten off work yet. The one who came was the ugly Arthur the Phoenix that Bruce met in the fighting world before.
He was wearing his classic red suit, his hair had been re-dyed a bright green, his face had been painted white, and he walked onto the stage with the rhythmic steps of a dancer, one hand in his pocket and the other holding a microphone.
The other Batmen in the audience covered their eyes. Who knew that the first thing Arthur the Joker said was, "I went to see a psychiatrist yesterday..."
Great, now the Joker is not the biggest problem, which other psychiatrist can he go to?
“You must have all had that experience where people tell you you’re crazy, but the only way they can solve your madness is to recommend a crappy doctor who only works two weeks a day, who can’t even prescribe medicine, and all he does is look at you with annoyance every day.”
"And then you smiled at him." Arthur laughed dryly twice, and suddenly showed a slightly tentative and timid expression, as if he was really sitting opposite a vicious psychiatrist. "It's like this, he feels like a teacher, and you are a student who got zero points on the test. This is all I know about psychology in the first half of my life."
"Unfortunately, one of my good friends, whom you may know better than me, Bruce Wayne, the world's richest man, has refreshed my view of these crappy doctors - because they at least graduated from the major of psychological medicine, while our richest man was almost held back."
There was a burst of laughter from the audience. It was obvious that Bruce was not shy about the fact that he had poor grades in college, and he got along well with his classmates in college. Therefore, many people joked to reporters about how much hardship Bruce had experienced when he graduated from college, and how close he was to the shameful delay of graduation.
Who doesn't like to make fun of the world's richest man? This joke has been used repeatedly by hosts of various radio and media outlets, and talk show hosts often use it as a joke. As a result, when people mention Bruce Wayne now, in addition to knowing that he is rich and handsome, they also talk about his unfortunate experience of almost failing to graduate from college.
Bruce, who was standing in the audience, immediately shouted and pointed at Arthur on the stage. Arthur also smiled and pointed at him, then pointed at everyone in the audience and said, "Don't be so quick to laugh. Do you think he needs to pay back his tuition loan like you do? Come on, he has earned it by studying for another year!"
The audience immediately erupted in cheers and groans. Arthur immediately lowered his head and snorted coldly, then slowly paced on the stage and said, "You see, this group of rich guys is like this. They never worry about money. This is their confidence."
"I know none of you cares whether my illness is cured or not." Arthur raised his hand slightly as he walked, curled the corners of his mouth downward and said, "On such a happy day, no one wants to hear me talk about the mental hospital, but none of you would guess that my admission to the mental hospital is related to Bruce Wayne's father."
The audience suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other, wondering what was going on? Was there something going on here?
This instantly aroused the curiosity of all the audience. Arthur suddenly stopped, raised a finger and said, "I know that although you are surprised, you must be thinking in your heart, oh, this is another liar who is full of lies and will do anything to achieve the effect of the talk show."
"But just a few months ago, Thomas Wayne punched me and broke my nose." Arthur raised his fist and punched his nose, then stepped back violently as if he had been hit by a really heavy punch.
There were exclamations from the audience, but Arthur suddenly stood up and laughed and said, "Well, it wasn't that serious, but of course you will wonder what I did. Did I beat up his son?"
"On the contrary, I consider myself his son."
Arthur's shocking revelation instantly made the whole audience boil. The topic of illegitimate children has always been very hot in Europe and the United States. There are even many programs dedicated to helping illegitimate children find their parents and seek justice. The topic has always been hot.
Now even some people who were not paying attention to the talk show couldn't help but shift their attention away from their phones and stare at Arthur's face, as if they were trying to find a trace of resemblance to a member of the Wayne family.
Bruce smiled helplessly, he knew what was going on.
Before, when they were watching a movie, Bruce had promised Arthur that he would invite him to perform a comedy show at the music festival. Arthur didn't take it seriously at the time, but Bruce actually went to find him.
In fact, when Arthur entered the fighting world, he was already a clown, which means that the tragedies that happened to the comedian Arthur had reached their final destination.
The plot of the movie "Joker" is very simple. There are no grudges between superheroes, nor any major events involving the destruction of the world and the universe. From beginning to end, it is about how a failed comedian turns from a madman into a criminal.
There is no doubt that Arthur was a mental patient when he first appeared. He had a disease that made him laugh uncontrollably, which caused him to encounter various accidents.
However, the decisive factor was his mother. His mother kept telling Arthur that she was waiting for a reply from Thomas Wayne and that he would not abandon them. This made Arthur firmly believe that he was an illegitimate child of the Wayne family.
He went to find Thomas, but Thomas said that his mother was a mental patient and had been harassing him. Arthur didn't believe it and kept trying to get close to Thomas, but was punched by Thomas.
Later, Arthur, who was frustrated, went to Arkham Mental Hospital to investigate his mother's medical records. He found out that his mother was indeed a mental patient. Arthur was not her biological son at all, but adopted by her. She had abused him since he was a child, and the mental illness of being unable to control his laughter was also caused by this.
Unfortunately, the government closed the community hospital's psychological therapy clinic. The clown was stimulated and no longer accepted treatment, so he became even crazier. Finally, he killed Franklin on his talk show and was sentenced to prison.
Arthur entered the fighting world while being taken into custody. At that time, he was already a complete clown, not a mentally ill patient with a mental illness.
On the last day of the bail period, Bruce came and used a large sum of money to bail Arthur out.
Arthur knew that he was not from this universe and wanted to know where Bruce got the money. Bruce told him casually that he had done some systematic borrowing in macroeconomics.
Later, when Arthur saw Bruce playing on the computer, he realized that this crazy teenager had hacked into the Federal Reserve system and directly changed the numbers in his bank account without any concealment.
The result was obvious: the FBI came knocking on their door and both of them were on the run.
What's even more infuriating is that Bruce thought it was fucking hilarious. He kept laughing on the way to escape and never stopped, as if he was the lunatic who couldn't control his laughter.
Arthur, on the other hand, thought Thomas really should practice his boxing skills.
