You can make a lot of money in a big project, not to mention the salary, once the film is super popular, the sharing agreement signed by the union and the producer alliance alone can divide a lot of money every year.

There were many contenders, but Martin focused on one person, asking, "Heath Ledger was recommended by Bell?" ”

Mene nodded: "Bell is highly recommended, he is British, and he has a good relationship with director Nolan, so the person he recommends is very valued by director Nolan, and the casting team has accepted the relevant information submitted by Bell and Heath Ledger's agent." ”

Thomas asked, "How dare the crew use him?" ”

Martin said: "There are so many people using that thing, if it weren't for me and Jane on the set, no one would take it seriously, this is a sequel movie, if the actor Bale strongly recommends it, Nolan has to use him, Warner Bros. and DC Comics may compromise." ”

Mene was proactive: "Or I'll find a way from Emma's side, the crew ......"

"No, you don't." Martin just asked Mene to inquire about the news and keep abreast of the dynamics of the crew, and there was no need to risk anything else.

He thought for a moment and said, "We used an upright way to win the competition this time. ”

Mene and Thomas were nothing, and Bruce, who had never made a sound, knew as soon as he heard that Martin had a bad idea again.

Whether it's Hollywood, or the entertainment industry on the other side of the Pacific, auditions are just the basics, and since things like the red couch have been moved out of the audition room, the key to the success or failure of the audition is no longer in the audition room.

Mene was told by Martin to leave quickly.

Martin asked Thomas, "Which insurance company did the crew's completion guarantee insurance come from?" ”

Thomas has long known: "The Firefighter Fund Insurance Company, more than eighty percent of Hollywood's film projects, are insured by this company." ”

Martin said: "You can find out who is in charge of the Batman-related business. ”

Thomas replied, "No problem. ”

"In the coming month, I'll be in touch with Bruce for something." Martin picked up the script given by Louise and said, "I'm going to open a long-term private room at the Four Seasons Hotel and focus on the script and the characters. ”

"As long as you can pass the audition, I'm sure I'll negotiate a big contract for you," Thomas said. ”

Martin nodded slightly and said, "You go get busy." ”

When Thomas left, Bruce asked, "Is there anything else going on with me?" ”

Martin began by saying, "Remember to remind Leo and Jack that two bastards, I'm afraid they're having too much fun and forgetting." ”

Bruce understood: "If you work hard, you have to let everyone, including the crew, see it?" ”

Martin took it for granted: "What's the point of working otherwise?" Sneaky effort, no one pays attention. ”

Bruce asked, "Heath Ledger, you've got it figured?" ”

Instead of answering, Martin asked, "Lao Bu, how likely do you think he is to quit?" ”

"It takes a lot of willpower." Bruce understood what Martin meant: "I looked closely at Heath Ledger in New York at the time, and he wasn't a very strong willed person. ”

He said of a recent news: "Michelle Williams has broken up with Heath Ledger. ”

"I've seen it." Martin can make a judgment: "I don't think he can quit!" ”

In his previous life, the internet and the media were flooded with news about Heath Ledger's death because of the Joker's depression, as if he really gave his life to the role.

Therefore, Martin now wants to be a good person, after all, saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter.

After a little consideration, he said: "The crew is based in Los Angeles, all the auditions are also in Los Angeles, Bell recommended Heath Ledger, Heath Ledger is definitely coming to Los Angeles, didn't Ivan not return to Atlanta?" Let Ivan keep an eye on him a little and keep in touch with the TMZ. ”

Bruce said, "No problem. ”

Martin remembers one thing: "On the set of Brooklyn, New York, when Jane and I clashed with Heath Ledger, you made a video, I remember you kept the video alone?" ”

Bruce roughly guessed what Martin wanted to do: "I've kept it. ”

Martin said: "After dealing with it, give it to Ivan, let Ivan give it to TMZ, and at the same time reveal about Heath Ledger's participation in the casting of Batman, with the style of TMZ, he will definitely stare at Heath Ledger." ”

Bruce said, "I'll do it." ”

Martin packed his things and went out with Bruce, who sent him to the Four Seasons Hotel to prepare for his retreat.

Shortly after arriving at the hotel, two leprechauns, Julie and Aniston, called him and asked to fight the landlord.

It's too shameful to refuse, Martin told them the address, and waited for good news.

Good people must be happy after all.

In retreat or something, it doesn't matter if it's one day earlier or one day later.

Warner Pictures, officially titled "Terminator 2018", held an audition for the leading actor.

Haggis, who served as the writer and producer, Joseph Niccher, director, and Alan Horn, the representative of the production company, unanimously approved Christian Bale's audition, feeling that he was the most suitable actor candidate for the leading actor.

Not only are the acting skills and image guaranteed, but the influence of the Batman movie can also be borrowed at that time.

Subsequently, Bell's agent Parker negotiated with the crew, and in addition to the salary and normal treatment of the actor, a condition was temporarily added.

Warner Pictures, which asked to participate in the investment in the Batman project, recommended Heath Ley's outstanding role in the film, the Joker.

It's nothing, in Alan Horn's eyes, what happened to Heath Ledger doesn't even count.

In Hollywood, there are too many similar.

Even, Alan Horn himself is one of them.

The conditions are nothing, but Warner Pictures will not agree so easily, directly telling the agent and Bale that they must see the audition results, and Heath Ledger's level must meet the requirements of the role.

Bale is willing to help Heath Ledger out of friendship, but Heath Ledger's own ability is also key.

He believes that with Heath Ledger's acting skills, it is definitely not a problem to prop up the role of the Joker.

With that in mind, Bell immediately rushed to the Santa Monica Hotel and found Heath Ledger, who had just arrived in Los Angeles.

The two went to the café together.

Heath-Ledger was ruddy and energetic, in stark contrast to the decay and malaise of New York.

It's as if the promising young Australian movie star is back.

Bell asked for coffee and said: "On the crew, your agent and I submitted your relevant information, and also won the support of one of the investors, Warner Pictures, Warner Bros. and DC Comics already supported me to continue to play Bruce Wayne, and with me in the middle to help you operate, there is a great possibility of winning the role." ”

Heath Ledger didn't know what to say, such a friendship was so rare, he nodded heavily: "I'll be fully prepared and give 200 percent performance in the audition." ”

He added, "Thank you, Chris, I might never have been able to get out without you." ”

Bell smiled and said, "Friends, don't say these unfamiliar words, maybe one day, I need you to help me." ”

Heath Ledger nodded: "If there is a day, I will do my best." ”

Bell reminded: "You have to pay attention to that aspect. ”

Heath Ledger assured: "Rest assured, I will never use it on the set, let alone make the mistake of the last time." He forced a smile: "I can only pursue a career now." ”

Because of repeated persuasion, Heath Ledger and his fiancée Michelle Williams quarreled one after another, and the contradictions could not be reconciled.

Michelle thought that Heath Ledger's behavior would seriously affect the child's growth, so she took the initiative to dissolve the marriage contract and broke up with Heath Ledger.

Even after losing his daughter and fiancée, Heath Ledger still hasn't quit.

Michelle and Heath's breakup, Bell is clear, specifically to cheer Heath and increase his fighting spirit: "I got the exact news that Martin Davis is also competing for this role and will also participate in the crew audition." ”

Heath instantly ignited his fighting spirit and said, "I must win this role." ”

He ended up in the situation he is in, his daughter left, his fiancée broke up, and he had a lot to do with the Martin Davis and Aniston affair

After a brief withdrawal, Heath Ledger's head was increasingly affected by the drugs: "Without Martin Davis, I wouldn't be where I am now. ”

Bell also thought so, as a prospective witness at the time, he always thought that it was a small thing that could open up the sky by taking a step back.

Later, after experiencing the sponge tear of the pine forest studio, he thought more and more.

Hiss said, "What I once lost, this time I will take it back with my own hands." ”

You can also step on Martin Davis to get it back.

Bell didn't underestimate that bastard, and specifically reminded: "Don't be careless, you can rest assured that you will study the script and characters in the hotel, prepare for the audition, and I and your agent will take care of the outside." I'll leave you a car, but you don't have anything to do and go out less, and try not to expose yourself to the media, who are used to indiscriminate reporting. ”

Heath assured: "Before the audition, I didn't leave the hotel at all, at most I went to the hotel beach. ”

Bell stood up, tapped him on the shoulder, and left the hotel.

………………

Burbank, TMZ's editor-in-chief Jody drove to an underground parking lot and met Ivan, a news source and freelance paparazzi he had worked with several times.

Since the last time they cooperated, the other party has followed her old path, buying a car and a professional camera, specializing in filming some entertainment news for money.

From time to time, it will also sell to TMZ a piece of heavy news.

Jody got into his car and asked, "What's the big news this time?" ”

Ivan opened the MP4 player in his hand: "I bought an old video from the Internet, Heath Ledger, the actor of "Brokeback Mountain". ”

The influence of "Brokeback Mountain" is very great, and Jody immediately became interested and watched the video carefully.

The video is not long, only about 20 seconds, and it is full of crazy Heath Ledger getting angry, but there is no way to know who the person opposite is, and the back is obviously cut.

"Incomplete?"

"I only bought these, and the seller said that he used his mobile phone to shoot, and it happened that the phone was out of battery."

Jody asked, "Heath Ledger has publicly declared that he will quit, is it ......?"

Ivan said: "The time on the video has been processed, but it should have been a while, I can't judge." He's like a real paparazzi: "Are you interested in Heath Ledger's news?" I'm going to get some, can you pay a lot of money? ”

Jody was slightly surprised: "You're going to New York?" ”

"You haven't read the rumors in the United States?" Ivan said simply: "He came to Los Angeles, and someone broke the news to the United States that Heath Ledger was going to audition for the Batman crew and wanted to play the Joker." ”

Jody sensed the value of the news: "Sell me the news leads, my people and you can shoot them, and if you can shoot the key, I will give you another one." ”
