Chapter 620: This is Hollywood
readx;?despite the fact that with the Hiss? Ledger had already signed the relevant contract, but this unexpected appearance had to make Warner Bros. cautious. Ledger's parents and family made contact, and because there was a contract in the first place, it didn't take much effort to reach a licensing agreement with the old Ledgers.

In mid-April, when The Dark Knight finished editing its sound, Duke announced that post-production was all over, and a second trailer was released, Warner Bros. was ahead of the film screening and all other characters by launching the Joker's commemorative toy figure, which was available in $9.99 and $10.99 versions.
Thanks to the Heath? Ledger's death, in the past two months, has been hyped by Warner Bros. has become a hot event in the United States, and the doll was sold out of stock as soon as it was launched.
"What's going on?"
In a spacious apartment, Kyle was so angry that he wanted to smash his mouse, staring at the display screen and saying, "I didn't grab it again." ā
His sister Ella walked over, stood behind and took a look, and asked curiously, "A dead actor's doll is so sought-after?" ā
"You don't understand." Kyle waved his hand and said, "His accidents were all for the role of the Joker." ā
"Do you believe this kind of propaganda?"
Because she is engaged in a media-related industry, Ella couldn't help but pout, "Warner Bros. and Duke? Rosenberg wants the dead Hiss? Whatever Ledger becomes, he is. ā
"You still don't understand." Kyle pointed to the monitor screen and said, "One clown figure on the Internet skyrocketed to $30, but it was sold out all at once, and now it's out of stock on the Internet." ā
He explained, "Hiss? Ledger has passed away. His dolls are not only commemorative, but may continue to increase in price in the future, and even become rare value-added souvenirs. ā
Ella shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm not interested in any of this, so you might as well help me book a few more tickets for the early show from the Internet." I remember that the booking was a week away. ā
"Don't worry." Kyle turned his head and said to his sister, "I've been ready for a long time. ā
Under the publicity and hype of Warner Bros., "The Dark Knight" became a sensation before it was released, and the Joker successfully surpassed Batman to become the main character in posters, trailers and various promotions.
It is not difficult for some sober people to see Warner Bros. intentions, but the impact of public opinion on the public is enormous. A lot of people are also blind.
And Warner Bros.'s propaganda strategy is far from praising Heath? Ledger is so simple, and anyone who works in the media knows one thing, and that is that controversy will only get attention.
Although Duke these people in the mouth of the Hiss? Ledger is perfect and doesn't look like a Hollywood actor, but some other media outlets supported by Warner Bros. are also constantly breaking negative news.
The New York Post has been reporting one after another, Heath? After Ledger's unexpected death, his current girlfriend Michelle? Williams was once worried that his daughter would be "penniless", although Heath? Ledger's father, Kim? Ledger has stated publicly. Will Matilda? Ledger is seen as a beneficiary of the estate, but Michelle? Williams vs. Kim? Ledger's ability to execute is in doubt. The report also added to the hype - Michelle? Williams and Heath? The relationship between Ledger's family is quite strained. She even threatened to 'boycott' the premiere of The Dark Knight.
This news has been fermenting for quite a long time, and after it has caused enough heat, Michelle? Williams' spokesperson Mara? Mr. Buxman held a press conference and issued a statement saying that the report was false. Michelle? Williams has confirmed that she will attend the premiere of The Dark Knight, and it is ridiculous to say that she 'boycotted attendance because of a feud with Ledger's family'.
Subsequently, Warner Bros. confirmed to the public. Heath? Ledger's family has confirmed that they will fly from their hometown of Perth, Western Australia, to Chicago for the North American premiere of The Dark Knight on May 4.
This is only one aspect, Warner Bros. has done a lot more than you think, although on the surface Heath? Ledger is portrayed as an outstanding actor who gives everything for the role, but behind the scenes, he has put a lot of effort into the cause of his death.
For example, in the mouths of many media. Heath? The cause of Ledger's death has always been a mystery, and by the end of April, a number of media outlets and websites revealed that Heath? Ledger's death was drug-related, and it was reported that Heath? Ledger showed bad emotions while filming on the set of "The Dark Knight", with severe insomnia, confusion all day long, and getting along with other crew members and actors.
Then, someone came forward to refute the rumor, making the report controversial.
Starring as Harvey? Nicholas of Dante? In a television interview, Cage emphatically refuted the news.
"Hiss? Ledger always maintained a very high-pitched state during filming, and his consciousness was very clear,"
Nicholas? Cage's words are completely consistent with the crew's point of view, "Maybe he passed away suddenly, and people made up a lot of false information in suspicion." ā
He also revealed on the show that in between filming, Heath? Ledger likes to sit on the side of the set, smoking a cigarette and chatting and laughing with others, especially when it comes to his two-year-old daughter, Matilda, who is radiant and looks like a very lovable father.
"I have a good personal relationship with him, and he likes to show us pictures of his daughter in his spare time, and then talk about all kinds of interesting things between him and his daughter, and he seems to be very happy."
This is purely for propaganda, just understand Nicholas? Cage's people know that he is completely taking his words, "Ledger is also very attentive to the creation of the role of the Joker, and is not as inattentive as the rumors. ā
But what does it matter?
There is no doubt that "The Dark Knight" has become the hottest film of this summer.
"Can't you just let him leave quietly?"
On the private beach of Malibu's own estate, Scarlett's eyes from the newspaper about Hiss? Ledger left on the report and turned to Duke's side, "Is this consuming Heath?" Ledger: Ahhhh ā
Pulling open a can of beer, Duke took a sip, placed it on the round table under the umbrella, and said, "Honey, this is Hollywood." ā
Want Warner Bros. to give up using Heath? Ledger does publicity, is this possible?
The answer is obvious.
Scarlett? Johnson sighed, closed the newspaper and set it aside, sat up from his beach chair, grabbed the can of beer and took a long sip, and turned his gaze to the sea.
Although from the standpoint of an actor, she doesn't like this approach very much, but she is not a newcomer to Hollywood, and she has been in this circle for more than ten years, and she doesn't understand what Hollywood will do.
This is never a simple circle, like all business circles, it is full of strife and entanglement, and even magnifies these battles for fame and fortune countless times.
Heath? Ledger won't be the first and won't be the last of this kind of publicity.
Scarlett is convinced of this.
"It's just ......," she walked over to Duke and gently grabbed his arm, "I always felt a little uncomfortable in my heart." ā
Duke shook his head, "Hiss? Ledger's family has come to an agreement with Warner Bros., so let's not think about that. ā
Lenhis? None of Ledger's family objected, and outsiders didn't have to worry about it.
Sitting back on the beach chair, Duke sighed softly, he had a rare intention to save someone, and he also made some practical actions, but it ended in failure.
For a man of Duke's character, he wouldn't feel sorry or sad either, Heath? Ledger wasn't his friend after all.
And the consumption of Hiss? Ledger's people are not only "The Dark Knight" and Warner Bros., but many people in this circle, such as his current girlfriend Michelle? Williams recently claimed that he would consider working with the right company to make a film about Hiss? Ledger's film is a heartfelt memorial to bring some memories to the couple's two-year-old daughter, Matilda.
Hollywood is such a circle, those who are innocent and think that they can get ahead in Hollywood with their blood, passion, talent and hard work will only be ruthlessly assimilated or swallowed by this circle.
Then again, even Michelle? Williams herself has no intention of taking advantage of this incident, and her public relations and agents will probably not let go of the opportunity and will inevitably keep persuading her.
And people are always affected by the environment, even for a determined person like Duke.
As the sun turned in the direction of the sea, Duke picked up his watch on the round table and looked at it, reminding Scarlett, "We should go back, and we'll have to change our clothes and go out later." ā
Scarlett put on her clothes and muttered, "I want to go down to the sea for a swim." ā
Duke helped her pack her things briefly, and the two of them stepped on the soft sand and walked towards the elevator to the villa.
"Actually, there's a more fun activity." Duke said as he walked, "If you're interested, you can participate." ā
"What activity?" Scarlett asked curiously.
"How about dressing up as Catwoman and saving the world with Batman?"
Hearing Duke's words, Scarlett raised her eyebrows, "I'll appear in the entire Marvel series, it's not appropriate to play a role in a DC Comics movie again." ā
Walking into the elevator, Duke shook his head, "Not in the movies, but in the real world." ā
"Real-world salvation?" Scarlett didn't understand.
After taking the elevator back to the villa and changing his clothes and coming out, Duke explained to Scarlett, "Warner and I have prepared another promotional show, and now the candidates are basically decided, and we will go to see the little Batman who is going to work with you later." ā
Since the beginning of the year, Duke has asked people to find the right person, and after months of inquiry, a small fan of Batman has been found. (To be continued.) )
