readx;?“ Where have you been this month? ”

In the Duke's studio, Duke looked at Heath, who was sitting across from his desk. Ledger, "If it's not your agent Mara?" Buxbaum has been in constant contact with the crew, and I thought you had disappeared out of thin air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"I ...... Well, I ...... "Hiss?" Rice subconsciously made a flat mouth swallowing movement, "I locked myself in the hotel room and studied the role of the clown. ”

Hear Hiss? Ledger said this, and Duke couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, he had always admired people who worked hard.

Taking a closer look at the young Australian actor, Duke found that compared to the last time the two met, Heath? Ledger has clearly undergone some changes.

He was more silent than before, as if he had not rested well recently, and the whole person looked a little haggard, as long as he paid a little attention, he could find heavy dark circles under his eyes.

"What did you do?" Duke frowned slightly.

Heath? Ledger's hard work is good, but he also doesn't want to see the film start before filming, and the actors he chose will break down his body first.

"I ...... I read all the cartoons about clowns, and then locked myself in my hotel room for a whole month, wrote a diary, tried different laughs, and finally put myself in a state of psychopath......"

Heath? Ledger smiled awkwardly, "Since last week, I've only been able to sleep two hours a night, and I've been thinking all night and I'm exhausted. ”

Seeing Duke's brows furrowed even tighter, he immediately said, "Don't worry, Duke." I'm very clear-headed, and I know where my limits are. ”

Sighing softly, Duke stood up and walked to the other side and patted Hiss? Ledger's shoulder, "Give yourself a vacation to relax, if you have a girlfriend, it's best to go to the Caribbean or Hawaii together for a vacation, wait for my notice." ”

Heath? Ledger seemed to be about to say something, but Duke raised his hand to stop him. "That's it, you don't have to rush into the crew."

When it comes to personal **, Duke can't say much, so he has to adjust Hiss in this way? Ledger's state.

From a business point of view, Hiss? Ledger's hanging up is only good for The Dark Knight, and Hollywood has proven countless times that a dead lead actor is far more important to the film than being alive.

But people are not business machines, after all. Even a person like Duke with a heart like a stone might disappear when he sees someone who works so hard. It is inevitable that there will be a little compassion.

But for a person who has long been addicted to drugs, the decision of his future fate will only be in his own hands.

Heath? After Ledger left, Duke also left the Duke's studio, he went to Warner Studios and saw the situation of another actor, Christian? Bell is in the studio's training gym, training.

Although this is already Christian? Bale is wearing the "Batman" bodysuit for the second time, but he still has to do some special training for the character, as "Batman" is in the story. With a lot of new features, some abilities that are too strong have been weakened, and some have been proportionally increased.

It's not just the new elements that need to be trained, but some of the original skills need to be reinforced, Jimmy? Carter can be said to be about Christian? Bell knew each other very well, and the two worked together tacitly. In addition, the crew still uses the two stunt doubles from the previous film, and they are quite familiar with Bell, and even the way he sways his arms when he walks is imitated exactly ......

It is precisely because of such close cooperation that everything runs very smoothly.

After training. Christian? Bell took the initiative to find it.

"I've never thought I was so right to decide to play a superhero in the first place," he said, standing next to Duke, seeming emotional, "If 'Time to War' amazes me, the script of 'The Dark Knight' blows me up." ”

Christian? Bell looked curiously, "Duke." How exactly did you come up with such a setting? ”

"It's just the essence of the comics." Duke said lightly, "Most of them are comic book ideas. ”

Shaking his head, Christian? Bell apparently didn't believe Duke's words and added, "I'm afraid I'm the first superhero to lose to a villain." ”

Batman wins the battle with the Joker personally, but loses the battle for souls in Gotham.

Duke was about to leave the training hall and go to the next studio to have a look, and before leaving, he said, "I just met Heath?" Ledger, his form...... Well, how to put it, it's scary. You have to work hard and put your best foot forward, otherwise you will be pressed with the script and the setting of the characters. ”

Christian? Bell nodded solemnly, "I will." ”

Due to the innate advantages of the script setting, if the Heath? Ledger is out of 100 per cent form, so Christian? Even if Bale is 12 percent in shape, he may not be able to balance the two roles.

This is not a difference in acting skills between the two actors, but a difference in the roles.

Walking into the studio, which was divided into many small studios, Duke first went to the office where the pyrotechnic team was located. William has been waiting here.

During the shooting, there will be a lot of gunfights and explosion scenes, because in order to match the style of the film, all the explosions must be filmed on location, and they cannot be as exaggerated as Duke's early style.

"I think explosives should be abandoned."

The two discuss the most important explosion scene of the film, the explosion that directly led to the birth of Two-Face, Duke vs. Jos? "Try to make an explosion with a few bullets and some gasoline, as the script says," William said. ”

Jose? William held his chest with one hand and his chin with the other, "If you shoot with a model, there is a certain uncertainty about the gasoline explosion." ”

"Definitely going to shoot with a model." Duke said as succinctly as possible, "Green screen shooting, added after the explosion." ”

"Give me some time and let the props team make a few more models." Jose? William frowned slowly, then let go again, "I need to do more experiments, and I can definitely solve it." ”

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

Duke has always been very confident in his pyrotechnic team.

In the same way, he has always been reassured of his camera crew, but he still went to the open-air set outside. Schwartzman is working with a few camera assistants, with the help of IMAX's technical engineers, to familiarize himself with the equipment and test shoot some footage.

The two IMAX cameras were set up in the open air, which was several times larger and heavier than the usual Hollywood cameras, and the increase in weight and volume meant that the operation would be more cumbersome and inconvenient.

Standing next to an IMAX camera, Duke tried to manipulate it, and after standing up, he said to John? Schwartzman said, "I need to shoot with IMAX cameras, and it's all about the impactful shots. ”

After a spin around the IMAX camera, Duke added, "Like the scene where Batman chases on a Batmobile." ”

"We used to shoot with cameras strapped to the front of the car."

John? As soon as Schwartzman's words fell, Duke slapped the IMAX camera and said, "John, is it feasible to tie this big guy to a Batmobile or a Batmobile?" ”

Staring at the camera for a moment, John? Schwartzman thought hard for a few seconds and said, "The current Batmobile and Batmobile are not good, and they need to be specially modified. ”

Duke immediately decided, "Then contact Lamborghini for remodeling." ”

"Wait, John, Duke, wait."

The folks at IMAX have been keeping an eye on the two of them, Duke and John? Schwartzman's voice was not low, and it all fell to Richard? In Geerfang's ears, the person in charge of the IMAX company hurriedly walked over, "I think your proposal is too risky and is likely to damage the equipment." ”

Duke couldn't help frowning slightly, "Richard, if you want to show the advantages of IMAX technology, you have to build a good enough scene. ”

The other party seemed to want to say something, but Duke didn't give him a chance at all, and said directly, "If the equipment is damaged, the crew will compensate according to the price." ”

Richard? Gerfang opened his mouth, and finally closed it again.

IMAX cameras are expensive, but not so expensive that a $150 million crew can't afford to pay for them.

Although IMAX provides equipment for filming free of charge, Duke will not be polite to use, IMAX has always adhered to the principle of renting and not selling, but in recent years, it has participated in Hollywood productions, which are basically provided for free.

Subsequently, Duke and John? Schwartzman left the open-air set and went to Lamborghini's representatives on the set to discuss the transformation of the Batmobile.

There are always many similar problems that can be found in the preliminary preparation, this is a stage of solving problems, and the more problems encountered at this stage, the less trouble will occur in post-shooting.

From equipment to props, from actors to costumes, from shooting plans to storyboards, Duke participates in and reviews every pre-production work, and knows the progress of the entire preparation.

Warner Bros., for their part, also gave him maximum support, except for necessary financial problems, basically delegated power to Duke and Charles? Rowan.

Time slowly entered September, the preparation of "The Dark Knight" continues, there is still a long way to go before filming begins, Duke in addition to busy pre-preparations, will also go to Marvel Studios from time to time, Marvel's big plan two new films "Hulk" and "Captain America" have also entered the preparatory stage.

Unlike Duke's side, which is just preparing, on Washington Square in New York, David? The new project invested by Ellison has entered the end of filming, and this young rich man with ambition and funds did not easily give up his Hollywood path, and after the failure of "Air Combat Heroes", he once again raised a huge amount of money to start a new project.

Standing in the middle of Washington Square, he looked at the black actor with a pair of distinctive ears leading the dog in front of the camera, convinced that he would succeed this time.
