The Best Entertainment Era

Chapter 991: Making Gods

Today's meeting ends here.

In the conference room of Warner Bros., Charles Rowan, who presided over the meeting, glanced over the faces of Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman, Gary Oldman and many other creative personnel, emphasizing once again that : Finally, let me stress once again that everyone has signed a contract with the crew, and you are obliged to cooperate with the promotion of The Dark Knight.

The meeting room was silent, and everyone was silent, but it was also a kind of acquiescence to Charles Rowan.

In the promotion of Hollywood movies, there are more extreme things than this, which is really nothing.

After all, just let them praise Heath Ledger and talk about Heath Ledger's outstanding efforts for the role of the Joker no matter in any public place, in front of any media or fans.

They are very magnanimous and will not care about this matter with a person who has passed away.

At the end of the meeting, most people left the meeting room one after another.

There were also people who walked behind.

Christian Bale and Gary Oldman walked out of the meeting room unhurriedly and entered the elevator room together. The others had already taken the elevator and left, and there were only the two of them in the huge elevator room.

Warner Bros. can really make it up. Gary Oldman said directly: Heath Ledger died because he played the Joker? It's really crazy.

Christian Bale said: I was on the phone with Heath Ledger on Christmas Eve, actually.

Gary Oldman asked curiously, Was he normal?

The two of us chatted very happily on the phone and joked with each other. Heath Ledger also talked about his blueprint for his future career. Proud of his performance in Batman, he wants to be part of the third Batman movie, he said he loved working with Christopher Nolan and had the best time while filming, he also used the Joker voice on the phone with Laughter for me, we were all happy then.

Gary Oldman also had a good relationship with Heath Ledger during the crew, and he said bluntly: Actually, we all know that the clown didn't kill him, it should be the opposite. Heath Ledger is very humorous. Closer friends and family will know, and he really enjoys being the Joker.

Christian Bale shrugged slightly: We just need to know these words. For the rest, we should acquiesce to Warner Bros.'s statement. This is his own fault, and no one else can be blamed. He took those medicines, of course, this kind of mistake cannot be pushed to the end. on someone else, even though it's really hard to take.

Gary Oldman nodded, just as the elevator arrived, and he got on the elevator with Christian Bale.

As an actor, it is a necessary responsibility to cooperate with the producer and distributor in publicity and promotion.

In the afternoon of that day, Warner Bros. began to launch a massive God-Making campaign, striving to create a positive image of Heath Ledger, shifting the cause of drug addiction to the character of the Joker, and then arousing public attention and sympathy, launching a A series of commemorative and mourning activities.

Society as a whole is always tolerant of the dead.

Think about it, how much sympathy and attention will arouse the public for an actor who is stuck in a role and cannot extricate himself?

Warner Bros.'s Entertainment Weekly and Empire magazines,

There is even a well-crafted commemorative article about Heath Ledger.

In early December, Heath Ledger once said in an interview with this 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, because he played that' Unhinged, sympathetic mass murderer 'clown' with sleep problems.

In the interview he said last week I was only able to sleep two hours a night and I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted but my mind was still functioning. Every day he said he was taking two tablets A sleeping pill, but it only works for two hours.

The Dark Knight is Heath Ledger's swan song!

The death of a star always attracts a lot of attention. Even in the awards season, Heath Ledger has become the focus of entertainment news.

Most of the news is emphasizing the huge trouble that the so-called Joker role has caused Heath Ledger.

Maybe it's the crazy role of the clown that has troubled Heath Ledger. Christopher Nolan, the director of The Dark Knight, said in an interview: The clown is a big problem for Heath Ledger. challenge, he played a very original character, very scary, extremely marginalized. It was a very young character, very lawless, and injected a lot of raw horror and panic into our hearts, and Hee Ledger It did it to a degree that shocked me.”

Being able to shock Christopher Nolan with his own performance, one can imagine how much effort and energy Heath Ledger has put into the role of the Joker.

Warner Bros. is also really strong. I don’t know where to find a video of Heath Ledger’s early interviews and put it on the Internet.

Heath Ledger happened to talk about death in the interview, he said-I feel good about death.

For a while, the media in the United States was full of discussions. Some people were lamenting the death of a young talent, but more people were speculating about the cause of his death.

Relativity Entertainment also shared a tribute to Heath Ledger via Netflix.

We are all deeply saddened and shocked by this accident. This is a very difficult time for those who loved him. I ask the media to respect the privacy of his family. Our deep condolences to Heath Rice, He interpreted the movie The Dark Knight and the role of the Joker with his life, and it was a perfect curtain call for his acting career.

Mr. Ronan Anderson also considered whether to remove the poster and film of Heath Heath playing the clown, and finally decided to keep it as an excellent actor's will. The lights are off, please don't forget that the clown on the screen is gone...

This eulogy was subsequently reprinted by many websites and media, and appeared in prominent positions on various pages.

Under the guidance of Warner Bros. and related media, more and more people began to speculate whether playing the gloomy and terrifying clown made Heath Ledger under tremendous pressure and couldn't extricate himself.

Once the right hype point is found, Hollywood's huge publicity machine can often burst out with incredible energy.

Ronan also specifically mentioned Heath Ledger in an interview with media reporters, but he didn't say much: Heath Ledger's death is heartbreaking! With Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain and Brokeback Mountain The two collaborations on The Dark Knight were one of the most memorable moments in my life. He interpreted the joy, anger, sorrow, and joy of the characters better than expected, because he is full of love, sincerity, and enthusiasm for life. Everyone who knew him fell in love with him.”

For Heath Ledger, Ronan will not be stingy with praise.

Similarly, Warner Bros.' God-Making campaign is full of praise for Heath Ledger, and it's getting stronger.

Warner Bros.' Kevin Tsuhara also played in person.

Heath Ledger's departure is an unbearable pain in everyone's life, especially his family and friends. When you are a film worker, you feel that you should be responsible to an actor. Sometimes, there is only one reason, and that is his excellence in front of the camera conquers you.

The news about Heath Ledger suppressed all the entertainment news for a while, even after entering 2007, it is still the focus of public opinion.

Even some movie fans began to call spontaneously to hold related mourning activities in public places.

Under the publicity and hype of Warner Bros., The Dark Knight was a sensation before it was screened. The Joker successfully surpassed Batman and became the main character in posters, trailers and various publicity.

The clown, who was originally a halo of the protagonist, has truly become the protagonist of The Dark Knight.

It is not difficult for some sober people to see Warner Bros.' intentions, but public opinion has a huge influence on the public, and many people are also blind.

This is only one aspect. Warner Bros. has done much more than imagined. Although he portrayed Heath Ledger as an outstanding actor who gave everything to the role on the surface, he secretly made a lot of decisions about the cause of his death. effort.

For example, according to many media, the cause of Heath Ledger's death has always been a mystery. By mid-January, many media and websites disclosed that Heath Ledger's death was related to drugs, and reported that S-Ledger showed bad emotions when filming on the set of The Dark Knight, severe insomnia, confusion all day long, and discord with other staff members and actors, etc.

Then, someone came forward to refute the rumors, making this report a controversy.

Having arguments tends to generate more attention.

It is not the first time Warner Bros. has done this type of operation, and it can be said to have rich experience.

Regardless of making gods or slandering, everything is for The Dark Knight to get more attention when it is released.

In January 2007, The Dark Knight ranked No. 1 in all media rankings in the industry's 2007 upcoming movie expectation list!

Is it possible to get Warner Bros. to give up using Heath Ledger for publicity?

The answer is obvious.

Hollywood has never been a pure circle. Like all business circles, it is full of struggles and entanglements, and even magnifies these battles aimed at fame and fortune countless times.

Heath Ledger wasn't the first of this kind of publicity, and he won't be the last.

Moreover, Heath Ledger's family reached an agreement with Warner Bros. early on. Even Heath Ledger's family did not object, and there was no need for outsiders to worry.

Here, those pure-minded people who think that they can get ahead in Hollywood with their blood, passion, talent and hard work will only be ruthlessly assimilated or swallowed by this circle.

Although there is still nearly half a year before the release of The Dark Knight, the market explosion of this film can already be expected.
