The black Rolls-Royce Phantom drove onto the ramp and slowly stopped in front of the Warner Building, and a senior assistant to Warner Bros. who was waiting here immediately came to the front of the car and took the initiative to open the door, and Connie and Ronan in the back row got out of the car one after another.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson. The senior assistant immediately said, "Please follow me." ”

Ronan nodded slightly, his face looked extremely serious, and followed him into the Warner Building.

Connie, as usual, silently followed Ronan.

The group took a special elevator directly to Warner Bros.'s highest office floor, and then came to the door of a conference room.

There were two security guards in front of the conference room, and they didn't look a little out of order.

Ronan didn't say anything, in fact, Connie reported the details last night, more than a day has passed, and with Warner Bros.'s rich experience in coping, it is estimated that a preliminary response plan has been come up.

This kind of seemingly unusually sad thing is never a bad thing for the film company, and it is even ......

Ronan didn't think much of it and took Connie into the conference room.

"Mr. Anderson......"

"Good morning, Ronan. ”

Greetings rang out one after another, and many people gathered in the conference room, Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Tsohara, DC Comics CEO Diego Harris, Warner Bros. famous producer Charles Rowan, Sand Sea Entertainment CEO George Clint, and "The Dark Knight" director and executive producer Christopher Nolan.

Coupled with Ronan, all the heavyweight speakers in the "Dark Knight" crew are here.

The last time so many people sat together for a meeting was when The Dark Knight held a project discussion.

Ronan took a random spot at the conference table, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

The person presiding over the meeting was Charles Rowan, who saw everyone arrive and said to Ronan first: "I'm very sorry, Ronan, I disturbed your vacation in Rio de Janeiro, because something serious happened to the crew of "The Dark Knight", I don't know if you heard about it?"

"It doesn't matter. Ronan was expressionless: "I already know about Heath Ledger's death, and it's ...... grief"

Charles Rowan chimed in: "yes, sad bad news, Hollywood is missing a talented young actor. ”

Someone in the back answered: "May he rest in heaven." ”

"God will bless him. ”

A group of people said words of sadness and mourning, and there was no sadness in the faces of everyone.

Charles Rowan, who presided over the meeting, got to the point at this time: "Everyone, let me inform you again. Yesterday morning, over Christmas, Heath Ledger, the Australian actor who played the Joker in The Dark Knight, was found dead in his apartment in New York, and then the New York police and the FBI were all involved in the investigation. ”

He coughed, cleared his throat, and continued: "The New York police officially announced the cause of Heath Ledger's death this morning, it was an accident, Heath Ledger died of acute drug poisoning, and the ingredients of six addictive drugs were detected in his body......"

None of the people present felt surprised by this, because of the relationship between "The Dark Knight" and the situation of the main actors of the crew, everyone here has heard of it more or less.

Besides, Hollywood is not one or two because of drug accidents, and Raven Phoenix is still being blown about by people today.

As for emotions like grief and mourning, who would expect these Hollywood bigwigs sitting in the conference room to mourn one by one.

Kevin Tsuhara looked calm, as if this wasn't going to have any negative impact on Warner Bros. and The Dark Knight at all.

Diego Harris doesn't know what he's thinking and seems to be wandering.

Ronan remained expressionless, just sitting at the conference table and listening to Charles Rowan's briefing.

George Clint glanced at Ronan and didn't say anything, he had little to no impression of Heath Ledger.

Christopher Nolan is somewhat sorry that the young Australian actor has excellent acting talent, but it's a pity that ......

Before the crew filmed, he also discussed some of Heath Ledger's situation with Ronan, thinking that as long as there are contract restrictions, Heath Ledger should not cause trouble to the crew, but now he thinks about it is still a little naïve.

The terms of the contract are only binding for a short time.

It's really a pity that such a young actor with a great future is so much.

Connie sat on Ronan's left hand side, not half sad in her heart, not even a hint of sympathy.

As far as she could see, Ronan had persuaded Heath Ledger at least twice, and the result?

Charles Rowan said at this time: "Everyone, Heath Ledger is a supporting actor in "The Dark Knight", in fact, everyone knows that the Joker is the real actor in the movie, and the death of Heath Ledger will inevitably have an impact on our film project. ”

This point, everyone here knows that the actor who played the leading role in the movie is dead, if the film is not affected, is it possible?

Charles Rowan asked, "I wonder if you have any thoughts or suggestions about the death of Heath Ledger?"

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Ronan.

But Ronan sat there and remained silent, the expression on his face unchanged from beginning to end, and he did not mean to speak in the slightest.

George Clint continued: "In the name of the crew, send condolences to the family first, and then publish a public article in the media to mourn Heath Ledger and the like. ”

Christopher Nolan is a director after all, and he obviously has more conscience than these bigwigs here: "I'll go to New York and meet Heath Ledger's family, after all, a collaboration has a beginning and an end." ”

"Yes. Charles Rowan didn't mean anything to object: "What George and Christopher said, that's what we're going to do next." ”

Kevin Tsuhara chimed in: "Warner Bros. and DC Comics will post separate tributes. ”

Connie glanced at Ronan and said, "Relativity Entertainment will also post a separate article, counting "The Dark Knight", Heath Ledger has collaborated with Relativity Entertainment twice. ”

Everyone here is in the industry, and they immediately thought of "Brokeback Mountain", which was a big harvest at the last Oscars, and Heath Ledger was the actor, and he also got an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

Ronan didn't want to say more, since he rushed back to Los Angeles last night and learned about the relevant situation, he decided that whether it was Relativity Entertainment or Shahai Entertainment, he would not do much except the routine mourning of Heath Ledger.

This morning, Ronan personally called Michelle Williams, who rushed back to New York with her daughter yesterday, despite having parted ways with Heath Ledger.

From Michelle Williams, Ronan also learned more about Heath Ledger.

But these are no longer important, because the facts cannot withstand the temptation of huge profits, and it is not the first time that Warner Bros. has faced the death of its main creative staff, and they are experienced in this area.

It doesn't really matter what the truth is, because once Warner Bros.'s massive propaganda machine is activated, the fake can also make them real.

If someone asks Heath Ledger how it is, Ronan will definitely say that an actor as good as him will only come out every fifty years.

After all, Raven Phoenix has become a super wizard that is rare in a century.

But in today's meeting, Ronan neither wants to say more, nor does he need to say more.

This is the home of Warner Bros. and DC Comics.

Sure enough, Charles Rowan said: "We must face one thing, the death of Heath Ledger will have a huge impact on the "Dark Knight" we co-invest in!"

He looked at Ronan and George Clint and continued: "This should not be overlooked, we need to prepare in advance, how to deal with the impact of Heath Ledger's death on The Dark Knight?"

Now that Charles Rowan has taken the initiative to mention this, Warner Bros. and DC Comics must have a plan.

As a result, neither Ronan nor George Clint answered, remaining silent, and completely letting Warner Bros. take the lead.

"Heath Ledger's passing is sad and a huge loss to the Dark Knight crew, to Hollywood as a whole, and to the film industry. Charles Rowan uttered these words as if it were routine and as if he were rehearsing the public declaration in the media in advance: "When everyone should be crazy about Heath Ledger, he left us forever!"

None of you here will take this kind of thing seriously.

Kevin Tsuhara whispered, "Guys, the Joker is Heath Ledger's last character before his death......"

Christopher Nolan is a director after all, and among all of them, it can be said that he is the one with relatively pure ideas, and he didn't understand the meaning behind Kevin Tsuhara's words at all, and interjected: "Heath Ledger also took over Sony Columbia's "Magical Fantasy Show" after the Joker in "The Dark Knight", he played the leading actor, and as far as I know, this film has been filmed. ”

There is no doubt that, according to the real situation, Kevin Tsuhara's statement that the Joker was the last character of Heath Ledger is simply not tenable.

Kevin Tsuhara frowned slightly and glanced at Christopher Nolan unhappily.

Christopher Nolan was not stupid, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately stopped speaking, and he actually had the smallest say in this room.

Ronan knew exactly what Kevin Tsuhara meant, and after hearing this, he also knew that Warner Bros. and DC Comics were really ready.

In the face of huge interests, Warner Bros. and the huge media platform and propaganda machine owned by Time Warner behind it are simply unstoppable.

Besides, why did he stop it?

Charles Rowan raised his voice: "We want everyone to realize that the Joker is the last character of Heath Ledger, Heath Ledger has given all his heart and soul to the Joker, and his death is inextricably linked to the 200% dedication to the Joker!"
