readx;?“ The clown believes that everyone is evil, that no trust can exist, that he just needs to give people a 'nudge', and that everyone will give up on justice and become very selfish and ugly, so he betrays others and even kills his comrades himself. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Taking the coffee cup handed over by Scarlett, Duke said in detail, "In the setting of the script, the Joker's weapon of 'gently pushing' is the fear in people's hearts, he believes that everyone loves themselves and their loved ones, as long as you threaten their lives, then everyone will give up the original bottom line and become demons." ”

Duke concluded, "One of the Joker's pursuits is to break everyone's bottom line. ”

Scarlett seemed to understand something, and asked curiously, "According to you, the Joker is the protagonist of The Dark Knight." ”

"It's pretty much the same."

The movie that used to be, Heath? Ledger's performance is excellent, but the Joker's setting is the key, and it is the character itself that gives Heath? Ledger's acting skills exploded.

In "The Dark Knight", Christian? Bell's performance can't be said to be bad, but when he encountered such a rebellious character, he was completely suppressed.

To a certain extent, the performance of this film is a little unbalanced.

However, this is Batman after all, even if it is dressed in the style of a dark and realistic cop movie, it is still an out-and-out Batman movie, Bruce? Lord Wayne will naturally steal the audience's attention.

With the official establishment of "The Dark Knight", a series of preliminary preparations have been carried out one after another.

First of all, the film is tentatively expected to cost $150 million to make. Since Walter chose to support Duke, he must have unreservedly supported him, and Duke was never James? For Cameron's bottomless pit director, Warner Bros. will also make appropriate additional investments according to Duke's follow-up needs.

On the day of the press conference, the $50 million fund used for the early start-up went to the accounts of the third-party insurance company.

Although third-party guarantees can bring a certain amount of trouble, but so many years. Duke is used to filming and producing under this system.

After the funds arrived, Duke first auditioned for two new important roles, including Nicholas? Cage and Heath? A number of well-known actors, including Ledger. Attended Harvey? Dante's audition with the Joker.

There was only one round of auditions, and Duke finalized Nicholas? Cage, the former Oscar-winning actor who has fallen towards the king of bad movies, although he has received too many scripts and projects in recent years, resulting in a continuous decline in word-of-mouth and acting performance. The Oscar-level acting skills are still there, as long as the state can maintain a normal level, deal with Harvey? A role like Dante isn't difficult.

The only thing that worries Duke a little bit is Nicholas? Cage's old problem, when he is in good shape, his acting skills can simply match Tom? Hanks competes, when the form is poor, even better than Orlando? Bloom is still bad.

And his state is always good and bad, and the performance in the same movie can also be different from heaven and earth.

But Duke has worked with many actors over the years and can be said to be very experienced, and he is very interested in himself and Nicholas, who is in desperate need of self-redemption? Cage has a certain amount of confidence.

In order to cope with the role of Two-Face. Nicholas? Cage also proved his positive attitude after passing the audition, signing up for a psychology tutoring class and deciding to study split personality for his role.

Obviously, Nicholas? Cage knows that this collaboration with Duke will be a rare opportunity for him to turn around.

Of course, Duke will not deny that Nicholas can be selected from so many actors? Cage, on the one hand, his acting skills and image are quite guaranteed; On the other hand, more important. Is it because of Sophia? Coppola.

This is Hollywood, where relationships within the rules often play an important role, which is also an important reason why actors and directors from acting families are more likely to get ahead.

Even if this is a business society, no one can deny the role of networking.

The role of the Joker. There are also a number of well-known actors competing.

Robin? Williams, Leitch? Halmi, Paul? Bethany and Oscar-winning Adrian? Brody participated in the audition, and also courted the crew in public, saying that he was interested in playing the role of "Joker".

Maybe it's a preconception, or maybe it's Hiss? Ledger's audition was really good, and Duke gave up Adrian, who would rather lower his pay to $500,000? Brody, still chose Heath? Ledger.

The big-nosed Jewish actor has pretty good acting skills. But even if he has an Oscar, he is actually the same as Heath? Ledger is pretty much the same, basically has no commercial appeal to speak of, Heath? Ledger's own salary is not high, and under similar conditions, Duke can't find any choice at allAdrian? Brody's reasoning.

It's just that Duke didn't expect that the crew had just met with Hiss? Ledger signed a formal acting contract, and the Australian actor approached him specifically and made a request.

"Rosenberg Director ......"

See Hiss? Ledger sat across from his desk a little shyly, and Duke interrupted him, "Duke, just call me Duke." ”

Heath? Ledger is obviously an introvert, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Duke, can I not join the crew first?" ”

"Why?" Duke couldn't help but frown.

"I think the clown is a very special character."

Speaking of the character you're going to portray in front of the camera, Heath? Ledger's shyness vanished without a trace, "I wanted to find a quiet, completely undisturbed environment and take the time to study the character." ”

Hearing this, Duke couldn't help but look at Hiss seriously? At first glance, Ledger is a young and handsome actor, his bright eyes are hidden behind a few strands of drooping blonde hair, but it reveals a kind of frenzy that an actor encounters a character he really likes.

Since you're planning to use the Heath? Ledger, Duke has made people know about him, and no one would have thought that such a sunny-faced actor has been addicted to drugs for several years.

Many people were once impressed by the clown, and they all comforted themselves with the thought of Hiss? Ledger had to take drugs because he was too deep into the play as a clown, resulting in an overdose and died, but this is not the case at all......

Shaking his head in his heart, Duke didn't say anything more, nodded in agreement with Hiss? Ledger's request.

Among the sources he made people know, Hiss? Ledger is not only introverted, but also quite sensitive, and hates being mentioned as his **, Duke knows very well that even if he wants to remind him of something, now is not the time.

After all, the two are just a simple business partnership.

In Hollywood, the relationship between actor and director, and actor and actor, is far more complex than you think.

Many things are never meant to be put into practice.

Only people with a head in water will naively think that if they want to be friends with a well-known actor, the other party will definitely become friends.

Yes, countless Hollywood actors want to work with Duke, but they don't necessarily want to be friends with him.

Having said that, with Duke's character, even if the other party intends to befriend him, he will look at it several times with a scrutinizing eye.

Like Nicholas? Cage, if not Sophia? Coppola spoke, and Duke would never take the initiative to pull him.

Let people send Hiss away? Ledger, Duke leaves the Duke's studio and goes to Warner Studios.

Similar to "Batman: Time to War", the filming of "The Dark Knight" was mainly divided into three parts, the first part was set up in the studio of Warner Studios, the second part was the renovation of the Hughes Aircraft Factory hangar studio, and the third part was the shooting of location scenes in Chicago.

At present, the crew's pre-inspection team has also divided Duke into three parts, Anna? Prinz was in charge of the construction of the sets at Warner Studios and Hughes Aircraft Factory, and John? Schwartzman takes people to Chicago to inspect the location shooting area, Duke and Charles? Prime Minister Rowan and review the preliminary work.

The pre-production time of this film is planned to be 100 days and the shooting time is 3 months, which is the same as the previous two films, and Duke strives to be released in time for the start of next summer.

Scene construction is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, and many different scenes can also be built while shooting, compared to Batman, Joker, Harvey? The styling of Dante and others must be determined as soon as possible.

Since will continue to use Gary? Oldman, Michael? Kane, Lawrence? Fishburne and Annie? Hathaway and other actors from the previous film, their costume design is relatively faster.

The Joker and Batman are the main enemies, especially Batman, many of his equipment will be updated, and Lamborghini, the sponsor of the film, also needs to design a cool Batmobile based on the Batmobile.

In addition, Batman's suit will also be redesigned and manufactured, and Duke will limit Bruce? Wayne's ability, he is just an ordinary person with high skills, and if he wants to move faster, the batsuit can only be thinner and simplified.

IMAX also sent two huge IMAX cameras, and a technical team was also stationed in the crew. When Schwartzman returns from Chicago, he assists the crew in familiarizing themselves with the equipment.

These IMAX cameras are several times larger than ordinary cameras, and how to use these bulky big guys to shoot those impactful shots in the film is also a problem that Duke needs to consider.

When it comes to IAMX camera technology, Duke is a true newbie.

However, he has always been a person who knows how to learn, and he also knows that IMAX production technology is the trend of future development.

Throughout July, Duke spent the busy preparation of "The Dark Knight", but when the preparations took shape in early August, the North American summer season had ended, and "Iron Man" became the biggest winner of the North American film market in the summer of 2006. (To be continued.) )
