"That's all for today's meeting."
In the Warner Bros. meeting room, Charles Rowan, who presided over the meeting, glanced over the faces of many key creative personnel such as Christian Bell, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman, etc., once again emphasized : "Finally, let me emphasize that you have signed a contract with the crew, and you are obliged to cooperate with the promotion of The Dark Knight."
The meeting room is quiet, everyone is silent, but it is also a kind of acquiescence to Charles Rowan.
In the promotion of Hollywood movies, there are more excessive things than this, it is nothing.
After all, it is just for them to praise Heath Ledger and talk about Heath Ledger's extraordinary efforts for the role of the clown no matter in any public occasion, face to any media or movie fans.
They are all very big and don't care about this with someone who has passed away.
The meeting ended, and most people left the meeting room one after another.
Someone also walked behind.
Christian Bale and Gary Oldman left the meeting room unhurriedly and entered the elevator room together. The others had already taken the elevator and left. In the huge elevator room, there were only them two.
"Warner Bros. can really make up." Gary Oldman said directly: "Heath Ledger died because he played the clown? Really crazy."
Christian Bale said, "Actually, on Christmas Eve, I spoke with Heath Ledger on the phone."
Gary Oldman asked curiously: "Is he normal then?"
"The two of us talked very happily on the phone and joked with each other. Heath Ledger also said about his blueprint for his future career." Christian Bale said simply: "He told himself in Batman He was proud of his performance. He wanted to participate in the shooting of the third Batman movie. He said that he liked working with Christopher Nolan. He had the best time during the shooting. He still used the voice of a clown and Let me hear the laughter. We were all very happy then."
Gary Oldman had a good relationship with Heath Ledger during the crew, and he bluntly said: "In fact, we all know that the clown did not kill him, it should be the opposite situation. Heath Ledger is very humorous. Relatives and friends will know, and he really enjoys being a clown."
Christian Bell shrugged slightly: "We know these words, and the rest is the default of Warner Bros. It's his own fault. You can't blame others. He took those medicines. Of course, he can't push this kind of error to For others, although it is really hard to accept."
Gary Oldman nodded, just as the elevator arrived, he and Christian Bale got on the elevator together.
As an actor, it is a necessary responsibility to cooperate with the production and distribution party for promotion.
In the afternoon of the same day, Warner Bros. began to launch a massive "God Creation" propaganda, working hard to build a positive image of Heath Ledger, transferring the cause of drug addiction to the role of the clown, and then aroused public attention and sympathy, and initiated a campaign. Series of commemoration and mourning activities.
The whole society is always tolerant to the dead.
Think about it, how much sympathy and attention will an actor who is trapped in his role and unable to extricate himself arouse the public?
Warner Bros’s "Entertainment Weekly" and "Empire" magazines have even elaborated memorial articles about Heath Ledger.
"In early December, Heath Ledger once said in an interview with our reporter that he was'a bit too nervous' in the process of playing the Joker in "The Dark Knight", and when he was filming "The Dark Knight", he was because he played that. Insane, unsympathetic mass murder of clowns' faces sleep problems."
"In the interview he said that last week I could only sleep for two hours a night and I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, but my brain was still running. He said that he had to take two tablets every day. Sleeping pills, but it only works within two hours."
""The Dark Knight" became Heath Ledger's swan song!"
The death of a star always attracts a lot of attention. Even during the awards season, Heath Ledger has become the focus of entertainment news.
Most of the news emphasized the huge distress caused by the role of the so-called clown to Heath Ledger.
"Perhaps it is the crazy character of the Joker that has caused trouble for Heath Ledger. The director of "The Dark Knight" Christopher Nolan said in an interview: The Joker is a big deal to Heath Ledger. Challenge, the role he played is very original, very scary, and extremely marginalized. This is a very young character, very lawless, and injects a lot of primitive horror and panic into our hearts, and Xi Ledger It shocked me."
"I can use my performance to shock Christopher Nolan, and I can imagine how much Heath Ledger put in the role of the clown."
Warner Bros. is really tough. I don’t know where I found a video of Heath Ledger’s early interview and posted it on the Internet.
Heath-Ledger happened to talk about death during the interview. He said-I feel good about death.
There was a lot of discussion in the American media for a while. Some people were feeling the death of a young talent, but more people were speculating about his death.
Relativity Entertainment also released a tribute to Heath Ledger through Netflix.
"We are all deeply sad and shocked because of this accident. This is a very difficult time for those who love him. I ask the media to respect his family's privacy. We deeply mourn Heath Rice, He used his life to interpret the movie "The Dark Knight" and the role of the clown, and he made a perfect curtain call for his acting life."
"Mr. Ronan Anderson also considered whether to remove the posters and clips of Heath Heath clowning, and finally decided to keep it as a will of an outstanding actor, when next year’s theaters show "The Dark Knight" The lights are off, please don’t forget that the clown on the screen has gone away..."
This eulogy was later reprinted by many websites and media, and appeared in eye-catching positions on various pages.
Under the guidance of Warner Bros. and related media, more and more people are beginning to wonder whether playing the gloomy and terrible clown put Heath Ledger under tremendous pressure.
Once the right hype spot is found, Hollywood's huge propaganda machine can often explode with incredible energy.
Ronan also specifically mentioned Heath Ledger in an interview with a media reporter, but he didn’t say much: "The death of Heath Ledger is heart-wrenching! With Heath Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain" and The two collaborations on "The Dark Knight" are one of the most memorable moments in my life. He interprets the character’s joy, anger, sorrow, and joy better than imagined because he is full of love, sincerity, and enthusiasm for life. Everyone who knows him will fall in love with him."
For Heath Ledger, Ronan will not be stingy with praise.
Similarly, the Warner Bros. "God Creation" propaganda also praised Heath Ledger, and it is getting more and more intense.
Warner Bros' Kevin Tesuhara also personally played.
"Heath Ledger's departure is an unbearable pain in life for everyone, especially his family and friends. When you are a filmmaker, you feel that you should be responsible for an actor. At that time, there was only one reason, and that was that his excellence in front of the camera conquered you."
The news about Heath-Ledger suppressed all the entertainment news for a while, even after 2007, it is still the focus of public opinion.
Even, some movie fans began to spontaneously initiate a call to hold related memorial activities in public places.
Under the propaganda hype of Warner Bros., "The Dark Knight" made a sensation before it was shown. The Joker successfully surpassed Batman and became the main character in posters, trailers and various propaganda.
The clown, who was originally a protagonist with a halo, has truly become the protagonist of The Dark Knight.
It is not difficult for some sober people to see the intentions of Warner Bros., but the influence of public opinion on the public is huge, and many people are blind.
This is just one aspect. Warner Bros has done more than imagined. Although Heath Ledger was portrayed as an outstanding actor who gave everything for the role, he secretly made a lot of his death. effort.
For example, many media said that the cause of Heath Ledger’s death was always a mystery. By mid-January, many media and websites revealed that Heath Ledger’s death was related to drugs and reported that Heath Ledger’s death was related to drugs. During the filming of "The Dark Knight", Ledger showed bad emotions, severe insomnia, confusion all day long, and getting along with other staff and actors and so on.
Then, someone came forward to refute the rumors and let this report form a dispute.
Controversy tends to generate more attention Warner Bros. is not the first time to do this type of operation, it can be described as rich experience.
Regardless of creating gods or slandering, everything is for "The Dark Knight" to get more attention when it is released.
In January 2007, "The Dark Knight" was ranked first in all media rankings in the industry's evaluation of the expected movies to be released in 2007!
I want Warner Bros. to give up using Heath Ledger for publicity. Is this possible?
The answer is obvious.
Hollywood has never been a pure circle. Like all business circles, it is full of struggles and entanglements. It has even magnified these struggles for fame and fortune by countless times.
Heath Ledger is not the first such propaganda, and it will not be the last.
And Heath Ledger’s family reached an agreement with Warner Bros. even Heath Ledger’s family did not object, and there was no need for outsiders to worry about it.
Here, those who are innocent in their minds and think that they can make their mark in Hollywood with blood, passion, talent and hard work will only be assimilated or swallowed ruthlessly by this circle.
Although it is nearly half a year before the release of "The Dark Knight", the market explosion of this film can already be expected.
