At the same time that Duke led the crew to Moscow for filming, Warner Bros. was also in the process of promoting "The Dark Knight" in an orderly manner. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

That Batman's super-fan, Senator Patrick? Kleich took the initiative to stand up, and this kind of propaganda is good for him himself, and politicians also need visibility.

He was interviewed by N's TV station.

"Democratic Senator Patrick of Vermont? Clash plays an important role in the Dark Knight......"

The usual headline is followed by an interview with the Senate gentleman.

Facing the camera lens and the reporter's microphone, Patrick? Kleesy said brightly, "Don't worry, I won't wear tights in the film, I'll play a noble gentleman, and then you have to ask the crew." All I can tell you is that the plot of the film is quite tense and it must be very interesting. ”

The senator finally put on a show, "I'm going to donate the proceeds of my film to Kellogg in Montpellier?" The Hubold Children's Library, where I got my first library card. ”

In an office in the Warner Building, Jamie? Fox turned off the video with a strong promotional connotation, looked at the other side, and said, "What does the theater chain say?" ”

"Representatives of Emperor Entertainment Group and AMG Cinema Chain Group both said ......"

An assistant quickly said, "As long as 'The Dark Knight' has the quality of 'Batman: Time to War', they will mobilize their resources as much as possible at the beginning of the summer to support Duke's new film." ”

"Hmm!" Jamie? Johnson nodded, and added, "The propaganda work cannot be relaxed and continue to advance." ”

As he said, from newspapers to magazines to the Internet, the promotion of "The Dark Knight" is far from really powerful, but it is easy to see the relevant news.

"Duke? Rosenberg led the crew to Moscow for filming, and Batman and the Joker will fight Russia! ”

"The latest suit and vehicle of "The Dark Knight" have been revealed, and the new version of the motorcycle vehicle 'batpod' created by the Lamborghini team is extremely eye-catching!"

"The Dark Knight" stills were exposed. The clown has a hideous appearance, Heath? Ledger's appearance is terrifying, and he is disfigured to play the biggest villain! ”

In addition to the routine exposure of stills and sending out messages, Warner Bros. also used some other methods.

For example, AI recently received an email with the latest stills from Dark Knight. The source of the email is unknown, and they posted these pictures on the Internet as soon as possible, which caused a large number of netizens to watch, and even almost caused the website to hang up.

However, many Batman fans also sent more worried messages. The focus of the worry is on the Joker.

"I'm looking forward to the movie, but I'm skeptical about the role of the Joker, because Jack in the first part of "Batman"? Nicholson has already made the role of the clown deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ”

"I don't think either of them is the best clown, the clown should be a scary and ridiculous villain, such as killing people while singing and dancing, that is a good clown, and the director should create such a clown."

At the same time, the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times published a photo of Batman's makeup, and on the front page, it detailed the design of the new outfit. This is an opportunity to attract the public's attention.

"First, the helmet. In past Batman movies, Spider-Man's stocking-like hood has been seen burned and pulled off more than once, but Batman's hood is always indestructible to wrap his head, this design that seems a little stiff now is not actually to protect the protagonist's fragile neck, but the Batsuit in the past was designed one by one, until this "Night Knight", Batman can finally release his head as he pleases. The first major change of the new batsuit is to simulate the functions and characteristics of a motorcycle helmet, and to transform the mask into a helmet that can be removed independently. The actor only needs to twist his head to the side to easily load and unload, but it is for this simple action that the designers have the biggest problem. ”

"Second, the cape. Anyone who has watched Pixar's classic animated "Superman Family" will know how serious a cape is to a superhero. But in order to put on a classic look, Batman still insists on keeping his cape to this day, and this is also a key part of the costume change mission, the past bat cape can be stretched out in low-altitude areas to turn the protagonist into a human glider, and the new batsuit gives it new functions, but the design person is very strict about this. The specific role can only be left to fans to figure out for themselves. ”

"Third, gloves. Wolverine's hand can stretch out a sharp bayonet, as a beast hero Batman also has claws, the glove on the forearm is actually hidden in the retractable knife, this special glove is integrated with clothing, is one of the important hand-to-hand weapons, and is also one of the designs that designers are quite proud of. ”

"Fourth, the whole. The new batsuit is noticeably more complex than the old one, with a wide variety of components and textures, and of course, this is not the tight-fitting PVC rubber suit of the past! Manufactured from a variety of materials such as rubber, fiberglass, nylon and metal grilles, a total of 200 components are combined with the latest technology. The style is more modern, and even a bit of a sci-fi mechanical flavor. And the clothes are quite elastic, starring Christian? Bell's muscular figure is perfectly revealed. ”

The propaganda in North America continues, and Duke's filming in Moscow is nearing completion.

Most of the main actors followed Duke to Moscow, including Hiss, who didn't actually have a role here? Ledger, this is both Duke's request and his own thoughts.

According to Duke, as Batman's enemy, he must understand Batman's every move.

Although the Joker's scene is over, Heath? Ledger also had to dub a lot of clips in post-production.

Filming is coming to an end, Heath? It was also time for Ledger to leave the crew and return to the hotel after a day of filming. Ledger made an appointment.

"Looking for me?"

In the café, Hiss? Ledger held a cup of coffee, looked at Duke, and smiled slightly shyly, "Duke, you don't want to say goodbye to me, do you?" ”

After working together on the same crew for several months, the two became acquainted, and Duke looked at Heath? Ledger didn't feel how deeply he was affected by the role of the Joker, both his personality and his smile didn't change much from the way he looked when they first met.

Picking up the coffee cup, Duke took an unhurried sip before saying, "Do you have any plans to go back?" ”

"Let's go back to New York." Heath? Ledger glanced at Duke with some curiosity, and he knew that the director opposite him was actually not a nosy person, "probably taking a break in his apartment in New York for a while." ”

"Don't go back to New York." Duke directly put forward his request, "There are three days before the crew will finish all the filming, I will start post-production immediately when I return to Los Angeles, you have a lot of scenes to dub, go to California for the time being, if you want to vacation with your girlfriend, I can lend you a seaside villa." ”

Hear it's about the role and the work side, Heath? Ledger thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll ask the assistant to change the ticket and wait for you in Los Angeles." ”

"That's good." Duke drained his cup of coffee and stood up, "See you in Los Angeles." ”

There's really not much he can do, maybe he can transfer Hiss with work? Ledger's attention, this is basically Duke's limit, otherwise directly with Heath? Ledger says don't take those addictive prescription drugs that will kill you?

Duke hasn't gone crazy yet.

Besides, the two were not friends before filming, and they are still not friends at work, and they are just a simple working relationship with each other. Ledger is an actor who knows how to work hard and cherish opportunities, and his own personality is also good.

And if you change it to Mel? Gibson or Sylvester? Stallone's kind of arrogant person, even if the other party takes drugs and dies in front of him, Duke doesn't bother to take a look.

The next day, Hiss? Ledger left Moscow, Duke led the crew to shoot for another two days, and all the filming tasks of "The Dark Knight" were completed.

The crew was disbanded, and Duke just had a day off. Together, Dawson's editing team went into the Warner Studios studio and began working on the post-production of The Dark Knight.

He first went to ILM's studio in the studio, some of the shots that needed CGI production and compositing, and after the samples were delivered, ILM's technicians began to make them, and a few of them already had prototypes.

In addition, in light of the leaks of Iron Man, Duke and Warner Bros. have further strengthened their management of copies, and although the last time they turned disadvantages into advantages through some means, it is impossible to have such good luck every time.

Warner Bros., in particular, has further improved the security measures on the server, and the people who have direct access to the full copy of the film have been narrowed down to the heads of several relevant departments.

Similarly, among the crew, there are only Duke and Charles? Rowan, Anna? Prinz and Mike? Dawson was able to get all the footage and the final edit.

Of course, that's not the focus of post-production, security is just a guarantee to keep post-production running smoothly, and Duke's main job is to complete the preliminary editing and other production work.

Especially the editing, although it is not the first time that this kind of dark hero film has appeared, and strictly summarized "Three Hundred Spartan Warriors" can also be counted as a film of this style, but "The Dark Knight" has more practical significance and market appeal. (To be continued.) )
