The black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove onto the ramp and slowly stopped in front of the Warner Building. A senior Warner Bros. assistant who was waiting here immediately came to the front of the car and voluntarily opened the door. Connie and Connie in the back row Ronan got off the bus one after another.
"Good morning, Mr. Anderson." The senior assistant said immediately, "Please follow me."
Ronan nodded slightly, his face looked very serious, and followed him into the Warner Building.
Connie silently followed Ronan as before.
A group of people took the dedicated elevator directly to the highest office floor of Warner Bros., and then came to the door of a conference room.
There are two security guards in front of the meeting room, which looks a bit abnormal.
Ronan didn't say anything. In fact, Connie reported the details last night. More than a day has passed. With the rich experience of Warner Bros., it is estimated that he has come up with a preliminary response plan.
This kind of strangely sad thing is never a bad thing for the film company, even...
Ronan didn't think much, and took Connie into the meeting room.
"Mr. Anderson..."
"Good morning, Ronan."
Greetings sounded one after another, and a lot of people gathered in the conference room, including Warner Bros’ CEO Kevin Tesuhara, DC Comics’ CEO Diego Harris, and Warner Bros’ famous producer Charles Rowan, George Clint, CEO of Sandsea Entertainment, Christopher Nolan, director and executive producer of The Dark Knight.
Together with Ronan, the crew of "The Dark Knight" has the heavyweight voice.
The last time so many people sat together for a meeting was when "The Dark Knight" held a project discussion meeting.
Ronan randomly found a spot at the conference table, pulled out the chair, and sat down.
The person who presided over the meeting was Charles Rowan. He saw everyone here, and said to Ronan first: "I'm very sorry, Ronan, I interrupted your vacation in Rio de Janeiro, because something serious happened to the crew of The Dark Knight. , I wonder if you have heard of it?"
"It doesn't matter." Ronan's expressionless face: "I have learned about the death of Heath Ledger, which makes people sad..."
Charles Rowan echoed: "Yeah, sad bad news, Hollywood has lost a talented young actor."
Someone answered: "May he rest in heaven."
"God will bless him."
A group of people said words of grief and mourning, and there was no sadness in their faces.
Charles Rowan, who presided over the meeting, entered the main topic at this time: "Everyone, I will inform you again. Yesterday morning, during Christmas, the Australian actor Heath Ledger who played the clown in "The Dark Knight" was found in New York. After passing away in the apartment, the New York police and the FBI all intervened in the investigation."
He coughed, cleared his throat, and continued: "The New York police officially announced the cause of Heath Ledger's death this morning. This is an accident. Heath Ledger died of acute drug poisoning and was detected in his body. The ingredients of six addictive drugs..."
None of the people in this room were surprised, because of the relationship between "The Dark Knight" and the situation of the main actors in the crew, many of you have heard of it.
Besides, Hollywood’s accidents due to drugs are not one or two anymore. There are still people in Ruifan-Phoenix who continue to talk about it.
As for emotions such as sadness and mourning, who can expect these big Hollywood figures sitting in the conference room to mourn one by one.
Kevin Tesohala was calm, as if it would not have any negative impact on Warner Bros. and The Dark Knight.
Diego-Harris didn't know what he was thinking, he seemed to be wandering.
Ronan was still expressionless, just sitting at the conference table, listening to Charles Rowan’s update.
George Clint glanced at Ronan without any indication that he hardly had any impression of Heath Ledger.
Christopher Nolan is somewhat regretful, that young Australian actor has excellent acting talent, but unfortunately...
Before the filming of the crew, he also discussed some Heath-Ledger's situation with Ronan. He thought that as long as there are contract restrictions, Heath-Ledger should not cause trouble to the crew. Now he is still a bit naive.
The terms of the contract can only be binding for a while.
Such a young actor with a promising future is really a shame.
Connie was sitting on Ronan’s left hand, there was no sadness in her heart, not even a trace of sympathy.
As far as she witnessed, Ronan persuaded Heath Ledger at least twice. What happened?
Charles Rowan said at this time: "Everyone, Heath Ledger is the supporting actor in The Dark Knight. In fact, everyone knows that the Joker is the real actor in the movie. Heath Ledger’s death. It will definitely have an impact on our film projects."
This point, everyone here knows that the actors who played the leading role in the movie are dead. If the movie is not affected, is it possible?
Charles Rowan asked, "I don’t know if you have any opinions or suggestions regarding the death of Heath Ledger?"
As he spoke, his eyes fell on Ronan.
But Ronan sat there, staying silent, the expression on his face had not changed from beginning to end, and he didn't even mean to speak at all.
George Clint then said: "In the name of the crew, first send condolences to the family members, and then publicize articles in the media to mourn Heath Ledger and the like."
Christopher Nolan is a director, after all, he is obviously more conscientious than the big guys here: “I’ll go to New York to meet Heath Ledger’s family.
"Yes." Charles Rowan had no objection: "What George and Christopher said is what we will do next."
Kevin Tesohala interjected: "Warner Bros. and DC Comics will post separately to mourn."
Connie took a look at Ronan and said: "Relativity Entertainment will also post separately, including "The Dark Knight", Heath Ledger has cooperated with Relativity Entertainment twice."
All those present here are people in the industry, and they immediately thought of Brokeback Mountain, which was a big hit at the last Oscar. Heath Ledger was the leading actor, and he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor.
Ronan didn’t want to say too much. Since he rushed back to Los Angeles last night and learned about the situation, he decided that whether it’s Relativity Entertainment or Shahai Entertainment, apart from the routine mourning for Heath Ledger, he will not do anything more. .
This morning, Ronan personally called Michelle Williams. Although Michelle Williams had parted ways with Heath Ledger, he took his daughter back to New York as soon as possible yesterday.
From Michelle Williams’ mouth, Ronan also learned more about Heath Ledger.
But these are not important anymore, because the facts can't resist the huge profit temptation. It is not the first time that Warner Bros. has faced the death of the main creators of its crew. They are very experienced in this regard.
The facts do not really matter, because once Warner Bros.'s huge propaganda machine is activated, fake ones can make them real.
If someone asks about Heath Ledger later, Ronan will definitely say that an excellent actor like him will only be produced every fifty years.
After all, Ruifan Phoenix has become a super wizard that is rare in a century.
But in today's meeting, Ronan neither wants to say more, nor does he need to say more.
This is the home of Warner Bros. and DC Comics.
As expected, Charles Rowan said: "We must face one thing squarely. The death of Heath Ledger will have a huge impact on the "Dark Knight" that we jointly invested in!"
He looked at Ronan and George Clint, and continued: "This cannot be ignored. We need to prepare in advance. How to deal with the impact of Heath Ledger's death on "The Dark Knight"?"
Since Charles Rowan took the initiative to mention this, Warner Bros. and DC Comics must have a plan.
Therefore, Ronan and George Clint did not answer the conversation, and remained silent, completely letting Warner Bros. dominate.
"Heath Ledger's death is sorrowful. It is a huge loss to the "Dark Knight" crew, to the entire Hollywood, and to the film industry." Charles Rowan's words are both routine and as if Rehearsing the public statement in the media in advance: "When everyone should be crazy for Heath Ledger, he left us forever!"
Such words, no one here would take it seriously.
Kevin Tesohala said softly, "Everyone, the clown is the last character of Heath Ledger..."
After all, Christopher Nolan is a director Among all the people, it can be said that he is the one with relatively pure ideas, who did not understand the meaning behind Kevin Tesuhara's words at all, and interjected:" Heath Ledger, after the Joker in "The Dark Knight", also took over the filming of Sony Columbia Pictures' "Magic and Fantasy Show". He played the leading actor. As far as I know, this film is over."
There is no doubt that according to the real situation, Kevin Tesohala’s statement that the clown was the last character of Heath Ledger’s life is untenable.
Kevin Tesuhara frowned slightly and gave Christopher Nolan an unhappy look.
Christopher Nolan is not stupid. He immediately realized that he had said something wrong and immediately stopped speaking. Among all the people in this conference room, his right to speak is actually the smallest.
Ronan knew exactly what Kevin Tesukhara meant, and after hearing this, he knew that Warner Bros. and DC Comics were really ready.
In the face of huge interests, the huge media platform and propaganda machinery owned by Warner Bros. and Time Warner behind it cannot be blocked.
Besides, why did he stop?
Charles Rowan raised his voice: "We want everyone to realize that the Joker is the last character of Heath Ledger. Heath Ledger has devoted all his efforts to the Joker. His death is 2% for the Joker. Hundreds of hard work have an inseparable connection!"
