Chapter 226 | Sleep tight
[Renner Studios - CA]
[Raelynn's Office]
"Alright, two more interviews, and we'll be done for the day right?" she asked Niko who had her schedule for the day/.
Niko looked at her and gave a weird look that said many things to her—but nothing nice.
"I'm not your private secretary for your information. If you're so in a hurry to boss around, get one. I'm sure that all you've to do is bat your pretty eyelashes, and wiggle that butt and your boyfriend is going to get you one!" Niko said, shrugged, and turned around in the office wheelchair while putting his legs on her table.
"Don't be too salty about it, honey. I'm sure I can do a little more and get something out of him-" Raelynn joked and looked at him again.
"Alright, to answer your first question— yes, two more interviews!"
"Hmm. I should go now," Rae said and looked at her phone.
"Alright. Make no mistakes answering questions, and hope you reveal your undying love for Ian in one of them! Ciao!"
Raelynn chuckled under her breath. "Sure!"
She said and walked out of the room. On her way, she realised how much she enjoyed facing the cameras and answering questions while seeing how people enjoyed the piece of art she created.
This was her dream. To stay in the shadows, behind the cameras, creating something so exquisite that it can drag the eyes of thousands.
What made her happiest was that she achieved all of this, with the guidance and support of someone who she really loved. Sure, the efforts that were poured into the movie were hers. After the endless night thoughts, the sweat of day trying to get a perfect shot, and millions of thoughts draining her throughout the day, she finally let herself be satisfied with what she created.
Another celebrity who's too done and tired with the cameras would be explaining why and how they're basically intruding on their privacy. But for a new director like Raelynn, she loved the cameras.
While waiting for the elevator, she was tapping the pile of files that was in her hand. Her concentration was deeply focused on the double digits written in the elevator.
"Boom!" Ian's voice came loudly, as she jumped from where she was.
"What on Earth, Ian? What are you doing?! You scared me! I thought-"
"Ahahaha!" Ian laughed loudly, and suddenly the ding sound made the couple look at the elevator.
"You're such a kid sometimes!" She said a little loudly now that they were the only ones in the elevator.
Her heart was stammering out of her chest, and her eyes were playful as she looked at Ian with so much adoration in them.
Ian grinned back.
"Only with you," he said cheekily, as she slapped his hand.
What he had said was true. The only playful side that Ian ever unlocked was around Raelynn and Niko; Niko was included considering he was always around her. If not, he'd need all his life's karma to see Ian in a playful mood.
"How are the statistics?" Raelynn asked.
"Don't worry about them anymore. Right after the release in no time, the budget was covered, and now the profits just keep flowing in—without any pause. So, it's all good. We'll have a meeting with the financial department soon, and-" *ding!* "That's my call! Good luck with the interview!"
He said and kissed her on her forehead.
She nodded while the doors closed after Ian.
"Good luck to me indeed!"

[IAM - It's A Movie!]
The movie hit a week after its release officially, and the websites included It's A Movie, where there were millions of reviews from all over the world related to movies released.
Currently, the #1 trending movie of all time was Batman: The Dark Knight.
The reviews were taken into consideration by millions of movie lovers who had long awaited a movie like Batman.
As usual, there were people who agreed with the positive side and people who spread constructive criticism as well as biassed criticism.
Nevertheless, the review page was something that almost everyone checked so that they could decide on their next move along with taking part in discussions that went on the website. In the past, there had been records where the discussions had gotten intense and so personal that even there were multiple media channels that posted and continued the discussion of what people did.
Anyway, among thousands of reviews of The Dark Knight, there were specific reviews that gained Ian's attention.
@Movie Hero who?
Why it rocks:
It's often considered the greatest comic-book movie of all time.
One of the most successful attempts to make a superhero movie appear realistic.
The Major Highlight: Freddy's portrayal of the Joker is arguably the best and greatest incarnation of the Joker character to date. Freddy did an outstanding job portraying the Joker as insane and unpredictable yet utterly terrifying and menacing through his impeccable method acting skills. All of the scenes featuring him (Like the monologues about his scars or when he talks to Harvey Dent at the hospital) are extremely tense and keep you at the edge of your seat, not to mention that nearly all of his dialogue is memorable and quotable. He deserves an Oscar for the role, to become the first comic-book movie actor to do so. Great scenery.
Great editing.
Awesome dialogue.
Amazing cinematography.
Excellent fight scenes.
The film's dark and gritty tone was done right.
@I'm Not Batman
Fantastic direction from Raelynn Sawyer: this has become her most iconic movie although she is a newbie. Memorable and now iconic scenes, of them, include The opening bank robbery, the Joker's pencil trick, the truck chase, Batman interrogating the Joker, the hospital explosion, etc.
It updates the bat-suit to more closely resemble the logo symbol and the Batarang itself. They even explain this in the film by having Bruce ask Lucius for a more flexible suit. Rachel's death was an unexpected moment that majorly affects Batman for the rest of the trilogy.
@Jenny Miracles
All of the action sequences are very exciting and fun to watch.
Excellent score! The acting is great all around; and while Freddy is the one who stands out the most, the truth is that everyone in this movie is absolutely fantastic. Two-Face is also a great and intimidating villain that is driven by revenge instead of his split-personality disorder getting worse after his face is burned. Memorable quotes.
@Shiz Won
The sequel we deserved to the Batman we wanted... Freddy ( joker ) is a legend! Well, here it is, one of the most anticipated movies of the year so far. How was it? It was excellent. By far the best Batman film ever made and of course, it will be one of the most memorable action films for a long while.
Everyone was waiting to see how well Freddy performed as The Joker in this film. He definitely deserves an Oscar in his honour. The character was so dark and creepy that it sent chills up my back. Compared to Freddy's other films like 'Psycho' proves that this man could actually act, no matter what character, he could do it...

"Wow! What a night!" Ian muttered to himself, with Raelynn beside him, and kept reading the reviews aloud.
"I know, it's just… Wonderful!" She said,
Ian looked at her with a worried face noticing a tear trailing down her face.
"Hey….!"
"Happy tears," She said while he wiped the single tear off. The little gesture sent chills down her spine.
"Hey, wanna read an article too?"
She sniffed, "go ahead!"

...The film's storyline has many twists and all are rewarding, the story is developed constantly after each scene, making you wonder what's next. Excellent craft and flows well toward the conclusion.
During the film on the scene with Batman against the Joker, Bike vs Truck. People thought this was the ending. No, it kept going which was awesome, the story kept getting darker and darker, I guess that's why they called it the 'Dark' Knight as well as the relation to Batman himself.
The cast was great. With Christian Bale playing Batman, a good performance, Freddy played extremely well. And along with it, all the unmentioned actors were great…. More than great!
Great directing made the movie enjoyable, they added more action this time which made the film feel powerful, lighting was done well especially showing Harvey/ Two Face's face in the many moods he displayed.
Great explosions made it entertaining. Made you feel great that this is finally the best action to come in a long time. This movie deserves a 10/10 rating and credit on behalf of the great actor, Freddy. His performance made what this film is right now.
I recommend this film to any action fan, especially a Batman fan.
The next important thing was the budget plan and how Ian revealed they managed it….

The article went on for 500 more words, and by the end of it, Raelynn was snoring slightly.
Ian chuckled at the cute gesture.
"Sleep tight," he kissed her forehead and kept the tablet aside.
"Good night," he said to himself with much more thought in his head.
