Readx;?Top Recommendation:、、、、、、、
Shortly after the Los Angeles police announced the results of their preliminary investigation, Warner Bros. posted on its official website and instant share that it was also posted on the official website and instant share. Ledger's tribute. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"We are all deeply saddened and shocked by this accident, which is a very difficult time for those who love him, and I ask the media to respect his family's **. Our deep condolences to Hiss? Rice, who used his life to interpret the movie "The Dark Knight" and the role of the Joker, made a perfect curtain call for his acting life. ”
"We also considered whether to remove the posters and trailers of the street Heath clown, and finally decided to keep it, as a good actor's will, when the lights go out in the theater in May, please don't forget that the clown on the screen is gone......"
The eulogy was subsequently reprinted by many websites and media outlets, appearing prominently on various pages.
Under the guidance of Warner and related media, more and more people began to speculate whether it was Jean Hiss who played the gloomy and scary clown? Ledger was under tremendous pressure.
Once the right hype spot is found, Hollywood's vast propaganda machine can often burst with incredible energy.
Not only Warner Bros. is making efforts, but the crew is also cooperating with Warner's publicity.
"Heath enjoys a show that is immersed in madness, while also recognizing the absurdity of the Joker." Christian? Bell spoke into the microphone of reporters, recalling, "He gave a dramatic, gorgeous performance. ”
"He's always on time, he's familiar with the cause and effect of the character, he's a lovely kid."
Although with the Hiss? Ledger has very little intersection, but Gary? Oldman also stood in front of the media, "His interpretation of the clown is by no means 'extraordinary' to describe. ”
As the director and producer of "The Dark Knight", Duke certainly can't escape the media's questioning, and he gave an exclusive interview.
After the 2007 Oscars, Duke was on board with Allen? The talk show "The Allen Show" hosted by DeGeneres.
This is part of the film's huge publicity plan, but Heath? Ledger's unexpected occurrence makes the theme of the show completely turn to this aspect.
"Hiss? Ledger's sudden death is an undeniable regret. This is true for the film industry, and it is a painful blow to the filmmakers who have worked with him...... Maybe you will never understand why a living life. It just disappeared from view so suddenly. ”
In front of the camera lens on stage, Alan? DeGeneres pointed to a poster of a clown on the big screen and said, "And for Cutuk? Rosenberg, this Hiss? For the director of Ledger's final work, The Dark Knight. Looking at the figure that has passed away on the editing screen, there must be another painful taste that is difficult to swallow. ”
She doesn't speak very fast, and she controls the rhythm of the show with ease.
"For two months, Duke Rosenberg has been busy with this latest Batman movie. Staying in the editing room also gave Duke a relatively quiet environment to deal with the sudden death of his colleague and friend. ”
Allan? On the big screen behind DeGeneres, a short film ad began to play, "At the 'National Western Film Fair' in Las Vegas on March 10-13, Duke brought a short clip from the beginning of the film, roughly about a group of robbers wearing 'clown' masks breaking into a bank. sparked a mass massacre ......"
The clip on the big screen finishes, but there is no frontal shot of the clown.
However, anticipatory Batman fans may be disappointed, as this clip does not reveal any relevant key plots, let alone any related key plots, let alone Heath? Ledger's picture-related presentation of "Alan? DeGeneres turned to the position of the backstage exit, "The mystery is the mystery, and it will not be revealed until the end." Let's take a look at what Duke has brought us through layers of questions and answers. ”
"Duke please? Rosenberg. ”
Take a steady step. Duke walked onto the stage with an open-arms Allen? DeGeneres hugged softly, then sat down across from her.
A few casual words, Alan? DeGeneres turned the conversation to what the audience was most concerned about.
She asked. "What is the level of post-production of The Dark Knight now?"
"I just finished the first final cut of the film and showed it to Warners last Friday." Duke seemed to have a hint of exhaustion on his face, and his expression was a little serious, "Actually, it works well. The people at Warner were red with excitement after watching it, and for me, it was not only a moment to show courage, but also a real sense of fun. ”
"Everybody in your crew is talking about Heath? Ledger put on a superb show. ”
Hearing this, Duke nodded slightly, "Yes, excellent, Heath is one of the best actors I've ever worked with." ”
Allan? DeGeneres asked, "What does His's departure mean to you?" I remember someone saying that sometimes you have to learn to face it in order to really defeat the pent-up sadness? ”
"Running away lightens the burden, but it doesn't solve the problem. At least for me, that's the case. Although I didn't want the film to be entangled in this issue during the promotion period, I knew it was inevitable - instead of getting stuck in the middle of the struggle, it is better to go back and face it bravely, which is a truth that most people understand, but the time required by everyone is different. ”
Duke's words became more serious, "I was lucky to have a chance to do something about it before I could digest the bad news. In fact, what people are most afraid of is that when they are attacked by sadness, they are at a loss and don't know what to do. So for him, Hiss? Ledger, I feel an unprecedented responsibility on my shoulders. ”
Different from the chatter of traditional male talk show hosts, and different from Oprah's coquettish attitude, Alan? DeGeneres had her own style, she knew who was sitting across from her, but she looked like she was listening, as if she were just a listener.
"His departure is an unbearable pain in everyone's lives, especially his family and friends. When you, as a director, feel responsible for an actor, there is only one reason, and that is that his excellence in front of the camera has conquered you. ”
The face slowly lowered a little, and Duke rubbed his forehead slightly, as if he hadn't gotten rid of this incident yet, "When I saw Ledger's clown in the editing room, I suddenly felt as excited as if I had an electric current turned on, because we had no second way to go, and that's all he left us, so I knew I had to try to keep the great performances he had given us." ”
The audience under the stage erupted in bursts of applause, as if the audience was moved by this conversation.
"So would you change the idea of the film for that?" Allan? DeGeneres duly asked, "Do you feel that the edited film is different from what you originally envisioned?" ”
The answer to this kind of question is obvious, but Duke certainly doesn't say it directly, but in a more tactful way.
"Because I know, Heath? Ledger is such a proud person, and he's incredibly proud of what he's doing, so I didn't specifically make a change. ”
Turning his head to the big screen, which was replaced by the eye-catching clown poster, Duke continued, "His interpretation of 'Joker' is very special, and it has surpassed the previous icon-like characters. And you can't find Hiss from him at all? Ledger's shadow was as if he was looking at a complete stranger. “
His voice gradually turned low, "For a movie, especially a sci-fi action movie, being able to have such a villain will definitely play a practical and correct role in promoting it, and it is hard to find." I know how sure Ledger is about this role, so I won't make any changes because it would hurt his pride. I just give him what he really did, and give it back to the audience truthfully. ”
"So, will there be a third Batman movie?" Allan? The cunning in DeGeneres' eyes flashed, "Why else did you leave another open-ended ending in this film?" ”
"I can't give a definite answer to this, but I would like to warn you......" Duke looked wary, "if you're not lying to me, it's that your gossip isn't coming from the right source." ”
He shrugged, "Because so far, no one has seen the real ending of the film, including those actors who were involved." My purpose is very simple, that is, I hope that the audience's brain cells can always be in the vortex of excitement when watching the movie. I don't want to say anything hypocritical or pretentious, I'm just trying to do my part for the film - the mystery is called the mystery because it will only be revealed at the last minute. ”
Allan? DeGeneres didn't give up, and asked, "The film has been edited, can you evaluate Hiss?" Ledger's character? ”
Now that he agrees with Warner Bros.'s promotional strategy and comes to this show, Duke also knows that he must put some practical material.
"The role of the clown is definitely a breakthrough for the villain, he completely subverts the impression of the bad guy in our memory, the common bad guy is murder, arson, theft and robbery, etc. In the Joker's own words, what he offers is a high-quality criminal ......"
Speaking of which, Duke stopped, and the rest is for the audience to study in the film themselves.
This talk show is just one part of a series of publicity schemes, Warner Bros. has more to offer, and they even found Heath? Ledger's parents and sister, and then made a lot of business deals. (To be continued.) )
