“That’s all for today’s meeting.”

In the Warner Bros.'s conference room, Charles Rowan, who was hosting the meeting, glanced over the faces of many creative staff, including Christian Bale, Morgan Freeman and Gary Oldman, and once again emphasized: "Finally, I would like to emphasize that you have contracts with the crew, and you are obliged to cooperate with the promotional matters of "The Dark Knight".

The conference room was quiet and everyone was silent, but it was also a kind of default for Charles Rowan.

There are more excessive things in Hollywood movie promotion and promotion, and they really are nothing.

After all, they just want to praise Heath Ledger for his outstanding efforts to the role of the Joker, no matter in any public occasion, any media or movie fans.

They are all generous and will not care about this with a deceased person.

After the meeting, most of the people left the conference room one after another.

Some people also walked behind.

Christian Bale and Gary Oldman walked out of the conference room slowly and entered the elevator together. The others had already taken the elevator. There were only the two of them in the huge elevator.

"Warner Bros. can really make up." Gary Oldman said directly: "Heath Ledger died because of his role as a clown? Hey, he is really nonsense."

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

Gary Oldman asked curiously: "Is he normal then?"

"We were having a great time talking on the phone and joked with each other. Heath Ledger also talked about his blueprint for his future career." Christian Bale said simply: "He was proud of his performance in Batman. He wanted to participate in the third Batman movie. He said he loved working with Christopher Nolan and had the best time during the filming. He also gave me the voice of the Joker and laughter on the phone. We were all very happy at that time."

Gary Oldman also had a good relationship with Heath Ledger during the crew and said bluntly: "Actually we all know that the Joker did not kill him, it should be the opposite. Heath Ledger is very humorous. Only close relatives and friends will know, and he really enjoys playing the Joker."

Christian Bale shrugged slightly: "We just need to know these words, but the rest should be agreed with Warner Brothers' statement. This is his own fault. You can't blame others. He took those medicines and of course he could not push this mistake on others, although it is really hard to accept."

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

As an actor, it is necessary to cooperate with the production and distribution party to promote it.

In the afternoon of the same day, Warner Bros. began to launch a massive "God-making" publicity, striving to create a positive image of Heath Ledger, transfer the reasons for drug addiction to the character of clown, and then attract public attention and sympathy, and launch a series of commemorative and memorial activities.

The whole society is always tolerant of the deceased.

Think about it, how much sympathy and attention will an actor who is so deeply trapped in the role and cannot extricate himself?

In the Entertainment Weekly and Empire magazines under Warner Bros., there have been carefully prepared commemorative articles about Heath Ledger.

"In early December, Heath Ledger said in an interview with our reporter that he was "a little too nervous" in the process of playing the Joker in "The Dark Knight". When filming "The Dark Knight", he faced sleep problems because he played the "indistracted, sympathetic mass murderer Joker."

"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 sleeping pills every day, but it only worked within two hours."

"The Dark Knight became Heath Ledger's best 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 emphasizes the huge trouble that the so-called clown brings to Heath Ledger.

"Maybe it was the crazy character of Joker that brought trouble to Heath Ledger. Christopher Nolan, the director of "The Dark Knight", said in an interview: The Joker is a big challenge to Heath Ledger. The role he plays is very original, very scary, and extremely marginalized. This is a very young character, very lawless, injecting a lot of primitive horror and panic into our hearts, and Xi Ledger has done a level that shocks me."

"You can use your own performance to shock Christopher Nolan. You can imagine how much effort and energy Heath Ledger has put into the role of Joker."

Warner Bros. is indeed strong. I don’t know where to find a video of Heath Ledger interviewing in his early years and put it on the Internet.

Heath Ledger happened to talk about death during his visit, and he said - I feel good about death.

For a time, the media across the United States were talking about it. Some people were lamenting the death of a young talent, but more people were speculating on the cause of his death.

Relativity Entertainment also released its memorials for Heath Ledger through Netflix Share.

"We are all deeply sad and shocked by this accident. This is a very difficult time for those who love him. I ask the media to respect the ** of his family. We deeply mourn Heath-Race, who interpreted the movie "The Dark Knight" and the role of the clown with his life, and ended the perfect curtain call for his acting life."

"Mr. Ronan Anderson also considered whether to remove the poster and trailer of Heath's clown, and finally decided to keep it as the will of an outstanding actor. When the lights in the theater where "The Dark Knight" are shown next year, please don't forget that the clown on the screen has gone away..."

This eulogy was subsequently reprinted by many websites and media, and appeared in eye-catching locations on various pages.

Under the guidance of Warner Bros. and related media, more and more people began to speculate whether playing the gloomy clown made Heath Ledger under tremendous pressure.

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

Ronan also mentioned Heath Ledger specifically in an interview with media reporters, but he didn't say much: "Heath Ledger's death is heartbreaking! His two collaborations with Heath Ledger in "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Dark Knight" are one of the most unforgettable moments in my life. He interprets the joy, anger, sorrow and joy of the characters better than he imagined, because he is full of love, sincerity and enthusiasm for life, so that everyone who knows him will fall in love with him."

Ronan will not be stingy with praise for Heath Ledger.

Similarly, Warner Bros.'s "God-making" propaganda also praised Heath Ledger and became increasingly fierce.

Warner Bros. Kevin Tessulhara also took the initiative in person.

"Heath Ledger's departure is an unbearable pain in life for everyone, especially his family and friends. When you are a film worker and feel that you should take responsibility for an actor, there is only one reason, that is, his excellence in front of the camera has conquered you."

News about Heath Ledger suppressed all the entertainment news for a while, and even after 2007, it was still the focus of public opinion.

Some movie fans even began to spontaneously initiated calls to hold related memorial activities in public places.

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

The clown, who originally had the halo of the protagonist, has truly become the protagonist of "The Dark Knight".

It is not difficult for some sober people to see the intentions of Warner Brothers, but the impact of public opinion on the public is huge, and many people are blind.

This is only one aspect. Warner Bros. did more than imagined. Although he portrayed Heath Ledger as an outstanding actor who gave everything to the role, he secretly put a lot of effort into the cause of his death.

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

Then, someone came forward to refute the rumors, causing the report to become a controversy.

Controversy often generates more attention.

This is not the first time Warner Bros. has done this type of operation, and it is very experienced.

Whether it is creating gods or slandering, everything is for the purpose of "The Dark Knight" to gain more attention when it is released.

In January 2007, in the industry's upcoming movie expectation list for 2007, "The Dark Knight" ranked first in all media rankings!

Is this possible if I want Warner Bros. to give up using Heath Ledger for publicity?

The answer is obvious.

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

Heath Ledger is not the first and last one of such propaganda.

Moreover, Heath Ledger's family reached an agreement with Warner Brothers early in the morning, and even Heath Ledger's family did not object, and outsiders did not have to worry about it.

Here, those who are innocent in their hearts and think that they can make a name for themselves in Hollywood with their passion, passion, talent and hard work will only be ruthlessly assimilated or swallowed by this circle.
