If you want the two heroes of Joker and Batman to show off, it is not only the drama and character settings, but also the right actors.

Ronan knew this very well, and Christopher Nolan knew this very well.

Charles Rowan took the lead and said: "I've contacted all the main actors in the previous film and they'll be back."

Even Liam Neeson, who has finished filming "Hurricane Rescue 2", will have flashbacks in the second part.

Ronan nodded, looked at Christopher Nolan, and asked, "Where is the clown? Do you have the right person?"

Christopher Nolan replied: "Charles and I made an announcement at the Actors' Union, and several actors submitted their information."

Charles Rowan said: "We selected some actors from them to enter the audition environment. The actors of this role are very important and must be cautious in choosing. In 1989, Jack Nicholson's performance left a deep impression on people. The audience will definitely compare them. At least the new clown role cannot be bad."

Ronan said: "This character is naturally easy to be successful in setting."

Several actors who have played the Joker seem to perform well, from Jack Nicholson to Heath Ledger, from Jared Leto to Joaquin Phoenix, the Joker they starred are all impressive.

Many people say that Heath Ledger will no longer have a clown, but Joaquin Phoenix's clown is also unanimously recognized.

Christopher Nolan thought for a moment and said, "The preview candidates we have preliminarily finalized, Robin Williams, Reach Halmy, Paul Bettany, Adrian Brody and Heath Ledger all expressed a strong interest in playing the role of the Joker."

Apart from Rech Halmi, Ronan is not unfamiliar with other people's names. They are all famous actors and Oscar winners.

Charles Rowan said: "Warner Bros. means Adrian Brody, after all, he is the best actor in the Oscar, and has both popularity and appeal."

Hearing this, Ronan shook his head: "Adrian Brody is indeed well-known, but the market appeal may not be."

The former Adrian Brody can be said to be the worst Oscar-Best Actor since 2000. Apart from the old IP "King Kong", other films that seem to be starring in are very average in the market.

This lucky Oscar, not only did North American audiences not buy it, but it seems that audiences around the world don’t buy it.

Charles Rowan argued: "But Adrian Brody is the best actor in the Oscar."

Ronan never believed in this and said, "Don't forget the special theme of his award-winning film."

Charles Rowan opened his mouth and said nothing in the end.

In any case, Ronan is the first producer of the crew. Even though Charles Rowan is supported by Warner Bros., he still has no decision-making power for the crew.

Christopher Nolan saw Ronan and Charles Rowan have a disagreement, and he swallowed the words he wanted to say.

Ronan said directly: "Let's talk about the audition effect in detail."

Charles Rowan nodded: "Okay."

The exchange between the three people was temporarily over. When Ronan and Christopher Nolan were about to leave, Charles Rowan called Ronan again.

"There's something about Zach Schneider," said Charles Rowan. "Have he communicated with you?"

Just now, it was just a little bit of disagreement at work. Ronan and Charles Rowan had no personal conflicts. They stopped and said, "Zach told me."

Charles Rowan looked at Ronan with concern.

"Zach Schneider and Shahai Entertainment signed two contracts." Ronan said simply: "After the completion of "Spartan Three Hundred Warriors", Shahai Entertainment and Zach Schneider's contract expired. Who will he choose to cooperate with and which movie he directs, that is his freedom."

Charles Rowan said with a smile: "Warner Brothers are ready to work with Zach Schneider."

Ronan said curiously: "I heard Zach say you are going to work on a D comics superhero movie?"

Charles Rowan had nothing to hide: "It was "The Watcher" written by Alan = Moore."

Ronan was not surprised by this answer and said, "This comic is very exciting."

I didn't know much about it, but after taking over Marvel Comics, Ronan conducted a basic survey on the comic industry in North America.

"Watcher" is highly praised in both the comics and mainstream media and is regarded as a classic work in comics. This year, "Watcher" selected by Time magazine, "The Hundred Best English Novels from 1923 to the Present" is also among them.

At the same time, "Watchman" is one of the few works that can win the Hugo Award in the form of comics.

The comic has complex sections, gorgeous and beautiful pictures, and has epic and grand themes, which can be regarded as a milestone in graphic novels.

Charles Rowan said again: "Your Marvel Entertainment has many plans for superhero adaptation, right? Warner Bros. also has a lot of ideas about D comics."

Ronan asked, “How is Superman Returning going?”

"The filming has ended and has been transferred to post-production," said Charles Rowan. "It will be released next summer."

Ronan said: "Superman movies have been waiting for many years."

Marvel and D are direct competitors, but the relationship between the two is not opposite, and they are even working together many times.

In sharp contrast, the fierce fans of Marvel and D are very inconsistent with each other, and the situation is just like water and fire.

There are some things where people above talk and laugh, while people below often make their heads beaten into dogs.

After chatting for a while, Ronan said goodbye and left, gathered with Christopher Nolan, who was waiting in the front hall of Warner Building, and joined his Rolls-Royce Phantom.

Without Charles Rowan, Christopher Nolan became straightforward: "I have some ideas about the actors of the clown."

Ronan glanced at him: "Chris, we have to be polite, just say something."

Christopher Nolan said: "I have met Heath Ledger twice before, and I have talked about the role of Joker. I think Heath Ledger should be suitable for this role."

Luo Nan frowned slightly.

"Heath Ledger has worked with Relativity Entertainment." Christopher Nolan said again: "Ronan, do you know him?"

Ronan said the truth: "A very good young actor, but one thing is that he may be exposed to medicine."

Christopher Nolan had some concerns: "That's it..." He seemed to be very fond of Heath Ledger: "We can limit him with contracts."

Regarding Heath Ledger, Ronan has persuaded him more than once.

Not only did the effect be zero, but it also made Luo Nan decide not to interfere in other people's private lives randomly.

Ronan made a little thought and said, "Chris, you are the director. You will decide which actor you choose after the audition. I will support you."

Christopher Nolan smiled and said, "Thank you."

Christopher Nolan felt very lucky to meet a producer like Ronan.

As for the actor of the clown, the first person he intends to be Heath Ledger.

It is not a problem for Heath Ledger to violate drugs. How many Hollywood stars don’t touch such things?

Both parties have signed a restricted contract in advance. As long as the shooting is guaranteed to be completed, the rest will not be concerned about the crew's affairs.

When he arrived at Century City, Ronan and Christopher Nolan entered the Relativity Building together.

The post-production of "Deadly Magic" has been completed, and Ronan and Nolan have made an appointment with Hans-Jimer to meet later.

Hans Jimo, a typical commercial soundtrack master, will serve as the soundtrack for "The Dark Knight".

Since "Pirates of the Caribbean", Hans Jimo has cooperated with Relativity Entertainment, and the soundtrack work of the two sequels was also completed by Hans Jimo.

This commercial soundtrack master is sometimes like Ridley Scott, with a very unstable level, and the soundtrack is good and bad.

The gap between the two is very large.

As for Hans-Jimer's classic soundtrack, the tones are very similar, which is also recognized in the industry.

Someone once said on the Internet that Hans-Jimer's soundtrack is always the same, and it basically comes from the soundtrack of "Brave the Deadly Island", which is the music that many people called "The Overture of the Undead" at that time.

But it is undeniable that some grand scenes, coupled with Hans-Jimer's soundtrack, can easily motivate the audience's mood.

Otherwise, the "Overb of the Dead" would not have been reorganized on the Internet to become a grand background.

Ronan has limited mastery of the soundtrack, such as a very professional skill. What are the specific requirements for the soundtrack of "The Dark Knight"? Christopher Nolan and Hans Jimo need to communicate.

Hans-Jimer wants to cooperate fully with Relativity Entertainment. In addition to "The Dark Knight", he also wants to win the soundtrack of "Transformers".

But Ronan rejected the cooperation of this project, not doubting Hans Jimo's level, but Hans Jimo's team had too many soundtracks at the same time. The projects related to Relativity Entertainment alone include "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and "The Dark Knight", plus "Transformers", it is estimated that Hans Jimo will reorganize the soundtrack of "Brave the Deadly Island".

Just as Ronan never overestimates the position of his company boss in the face of major interests, he will never overestimate the festival of Hans-Jimmo, a commercial musician.

Ronan should respect Michael Bay's opinion for the specific choice of the soundtrack for "Transformers".

After all, Michael Bay is the director of the film.

Since signing a director agreement with Shahai Entertainment, Michael Bay quickly formed a crew and started preliminary preparations.
