Chapter 990 Died because of a clown

After the high-pitched voice fell, the conference room fell into a brief silence, and everyone was thinking about what to do was in their own interests.

Since reality cannot be reversed, you must face it calmly.

"The death of Heath Ledger is an irreversible fact. In addition to grief, we should let more viewers see the most important works of Heath Ledger during his lifetime." Diego Harris, executive president of DC Comics, said slowly: "I believe Heath Ledger in heaven also really hopes to see "The Dark Knight" succeed."

Although no one answered or responded, everyone here hoped that "The Dark Knight" would be successful.

Especially great commercial success.

Charles Rowan said at this time: "Fans should have a suitable way, a suitable movie, to mourn Heath Ledger. "The Dark Knight" is undoubtedly the most suitable choice."

Having said that, even Christopher Nolan, who had a slightly slow sense of smell, understood what Warner Bros. and DC Comics were going to do.

"The last movie Heath Ledger actually starred in was Sony Columbia Pictures' "Magic Fantasy Show", and the last character was Dr. Panasos." Charles Rowan simply said directly: "If Sony Columbia Pictures reacted, "Magic Fantasy Show" may become the biggest beneficiary."

His words are not finished: "Luckily, according to the exact news, "The Magic Fantasy Show" has just finished filming and has not yet entered the post-production stage. The film itself is also low in budget. Sony Columbia Pictures cannot seize this opportunity immediately."

Kevin Tessulhara continued: "So, our reaction must be fast, we must be ahead of Sony Columbia Pictures. Before they react, they create established facts through media and publicity to give movie fans and public opinion such a default. "The Dark Knight" is Heath Ledger's last movie, and the Joker is Heath Ledger's last character. The Joker and "The Dark Knight" are the best ways to mourn Heath Ledger. If you miss this movie, they will always miss Heath Ledger!"

George Clint nodded slowly. Heath Ledger is not an unknown actor, but a star who has won the Oscar for Best Actor. His way of death is not glorious, but this is not important. Warner Bros. and Relativity Entertainment have considerable media discourse power and can change many things through media public opinion.

Moreover, the audience has always been tolerant of those who have passed away. Once a tide of mourning is formed, the role of dead people is far greater than that of living people.

George Clint has had a personal experience. When "The Spy" was released, he used Robert Lu Delun's death to do the work, and the effect was far beyond expectations.

Charles Rowan said: "As Kevin said, we must launch a publicity offensive before Sony Columbia Pictures reacted, and the publicity core has been temporarily confirmed. Although Heath Ledger died of acute drug poisoning, he is far from filming "The Dark Knight". He even played the leading role of "The Magical Fantasy Show" in the middle, but these can be ignored."

Hollywood movie promotions are all about creating eye-catching gimmicks as much as possible, so no one thinks Charles Rowan’s statement is inappropriate.

Charles Rowan looked at Christopher Nolan: "I remember hearing you talk about Heath Ledger locked himself in a hotel for more than 20 days in order to figure out the role of Joker."

Christopher Nolan told the truth: "That's the case."

"Very good, stick to this statement to the outside world." Charles Rowan said extremely firmly: "Because of thinking about the role of the clown, Heath Ledger was too immersed in the role and was unable to get rid of it for a long time."

Hearing this, Christopher Nolan's face changed slightly. No one knows better what the actor is in the state of the actor than the director.

After Heath Ledger played the role of the Joker, he went to film another movie "The Magical Fantasy Show". Besides, he has not yet gotten rid of the role of the Joker. Isn't this talking lies with his eyes open?

If it were just entering Hollywood, Christopher Nolan would definitely retort loudly, but after working hard in the circle for many years, he knew that even if he refuted it, it would have no effect, and instead offended the senior executives of Warner Bros.

Christopher Nolan wisely chose to remain silent.

Others, including Ronan, don't care at all. In Hollywood movie promotion, they can't count the number of times they personally participated in fraud.

There is no psychological barrier to Charles Rowan's statement.

Charles Rowan is a senior producer in Hollywood. Moral cleanliness is not available in him at all: "When participating in "The Dark Knight", Heath Ledger locked himself in a hotel room for a long time in order to understand the clown's psychology, and repeatedly practiced licking his lips, stroking his hair, speaking tone, etc. Finally, he created a Heath Ledger version of the clown! However, because he was too deeply involved in the role, Heath Ledger could not completely get rid of the role, nor could he bear the pressure brought by the performance. He had to seek help from drugs, which eventually led to overdose death!"

After the words fell, the conference room fell silent again.

Christopher Nolan took a breath and refreshed the lower limit of cognition about Hollywood.

Can rumors be created like this? Can news be made like this?

The distance between this tm is actually at least 100,000 miles apart, right?

Kevin Tessulhara emphasized Charles Rowan's words: "Heath Ledger's death was when he played the role of the clown in "The Dark Knight". He was too deeply involved in the role and could not extricate himself, and eventually fell into a desperate situation. In order to get rid of this terrible state, he could only turn to the help of drugs."

Charles Rowan continued: "I believe this is in line with the expectations of Heath Ledger's fans. They are happy to see such results, and they will even actively promote and spread these views and attract more attention."

Once such a certain fact is created, even if someone tells the truth, fans who are affected by this god-making movement will take the initiative to stand up and angrily criticize those who tell the truth.

It doesn't matter if it is true or not, but the influence and appeal brought by Heath Ledger's death to the movie is real.

None of the people here knows better than Ronan, what effect this will bring.

The once-maintained the absolute mainstream view of Heath Ledger's death: Heath Ledger could not bear the pressure brought by his role as the Joker, and eventually died of depression after taking medicine.

The truth? Is it important? Even if the truth is revealed, Heath Ledger's fans will swear your face.

In their eyes, Heath Ledger was born and died for the clown.

This is also the inevitable result of Warner Bros.'s "God-making" propaganda.

Charles Rowan further said: "From this afternoon, the Warner Brothers will be accompanied by Heath Ledger's news and will release various publicity materials about the Joker, hoping that all parties can cooperate with Warner Brothers."

Diego Harris immediately said: "There is no problem with the DC Comics."

George Clint responded: "Shahai Entertainment will cooperate with you with all your strength."

Ronan thought a little and said, "Charles, I don't have the time and energy to manage this matter at the moment. How the crew of "The Dark Knight" should cooperate is up to you and Director Nolan."

Although Christopher Nolan felt a little uncomfortable, he also knew that his people were slight and said, "I will cooperate with Warner Brothers."

Charles Rowan nodded: "I will."

Kevin Tessulhara said: "Ronan, this publicity will be fully promoted by Warner Bros.."

"Yes." Ronan had no objection to this: "If you need Sand Sea Entertainment, you can communicate with George."

Charles Rowan said at this time: "I will convene a meeting of the main creators of the crew tomorrow so that I can unify the external attitude."

Ronan waved his hand: "Charles, the crew is directed by you and Nolan."

Related to the major interests of Warner Bros. and DC Comics, Kevin Tessulhara saw that Ronan was not going to participate in person, and was worried that Charles Rowan could not suppress the main creators of the crew of "The Dark Knight" and said: "Tomorrow I will personally participate in the main creators meeting of the crew."

Charles Rowan also breathed a sigh of relief: "The crew's external caliber only needs to be unified within one year, so what do they say in the future?"

Over time, the fake becomes the real. Even if the truth is said, most people will still selectively ignore it.

Warner Bros. has no doubt about its influence in the media industry, and its ability to influence public opinion is very strong.

"Then let's act quickly." Charles Rowan said at the end of the meeting: "We must not let Sony Columbia Pictures take the lead."

After the meeting, Ronan and others bid farewell one after another, but Charles Rowan and Kevin Tessulhara did not leave. Then several heads and professionals from the Warner Bros. publicity and public relations department entered the conference room to discuss specific implementation matters.

In addition, Warner Bros. will also send professional public relations experts to meet Heath Ledger's family. As long as Heath Ledger's family can be handled, the plan will undoubtedly be smoother.

These are not difficult, people have passed away, and reality is in front of them, and Warner Bros. has too many ways to impress them.

Even if it can't be impressed, Warner Brothers' plan can still be unfolded. In the face of surging public opinion, the voices made by Heath Ledger's family were of no weight.

From the news yesterday, Warner Bros., including Charles Rowan, is considering all aspects and developing a promotional plan that is most beneficial to the Dark Knight.

This godsend opportunity, Warner Bros. and DC Comics certainly cannot be missed.

As for the others, Charles Rowan and Kevin Tessulhara had no intention of caring about it, nor did they want to care about it.
