At the Sunshine Hotel, Heath Ledger got the news and was stunned on the spot, unable to understand why.

Bell said that he would do his best to help him operate, but he couldn't even get the last audition, let alone get the role.

A person sees hope, but reaps despair, and the blow is too great.

Heath Ledger picked up the phone and dialed Bell's number, originally wanting to question Bell, but thinking about what Bell had done for him, the words only turned into one sentence: "Why did it become like this?" ”

Bell sighed: "Your news appeared on TMZ. He could only say, "I'm sorry, Heath, I called you from New York, but I didn't expect this to happen......"

Heath Ledger had turned on his computer, saw the news on TMZ, and said, "It's none of your business, it's me who doesn't fight for it." ”

Bell advised: "Quit it, as long as you work hard to quit, your career can be recovered." ”

"I'll try." Heath Ledger didn't say much and quickly hung up.

At this moment, the depression in his chest cannot be compounded, and there is only one way to resolve it.

Therefore, Heath Ledger decided to put the withdrawal after returning to New York, anyway, the role is lost, and it is not too late to quit back in New York.

Ten minutes later, Heath Ledger, who was super excited, rushed out of the hotel.

Because of the news of TMZ, many paparazzi and entertainment reporters stayed in front of the hotel.

Immediately someone gathered around: "Heath Ledger, how did you become the way you are?" ”

Heath Ledger didn't seem to hear it, just yelled: "Michelle Williams left me because Martin Davis stepped in and intervened in a third ......"

The paparazzi were all excited.

…………

In the second half of the night, this joyful fight finally stopped.

The three of them took a shower and ate supper to replenish their energy.

Aniston looked at Martin: "I always feel that you have changed, you are thinner than before, and your temperament is ......"

Julie answered: "Like a pervert." ”

Martin told the truth: "I've been a super pervert since I played landlord fighting with you. ”

Aniston thinks about what has happened in the past six months, Martin robbed Pete's woman and robbed Pete's treatment, how can a normal person do such a thing?

But she and Julie, the original enemies, fought with Martin to fight the landlord, and they were not like normal people.

Or is it that the property of metamorphosis can be transmitted through what comes out of that thing?

Julie suddenly asked: "Today, there was a sudden scandal in the tabloids, and Heath Ledger broke the news that he broke up with Michelle Williams because of your involvement." ”

"Me? Stepping in? Whether or not there was a stick, Martin knew best: "How is it possible!" They're in New York, and I haven't been to New York in a long time. ”

Aniston asked, "Not really." ”

Martin grinned, "Am I that perverted?" ”

Julie and Aniston looked at each other and said, "You have!" ”

"Excellent! Very good! Martin's face was weird, the corners of his mouth turned up, and his smile was evil and gloomy: "You say I'm perverted, I won't let you down." ”

Julie and Aniston are still stubborn: "Did we say something wrong? ”

Martin reached behind the sofa with his hand, and there was a clown statue nearly forty centimeters long in each of his left and right hands.

This is a newly carved upright statue of a mahogany clown in the shape he described, as Lily had commanded.

Martin's large hands gripped the Joker's legs like the handle of a weapon.

Julie and Aniston were not scared at all and were still shouting.

"Come on, who's afraid of whom!"

"Isn't it your statue, it's not like we haven't used it!"

Martin said intently: "Let me see if your mouth is hard, or if I am a statue!" ”

Before dawn, Julie and Aniston quietly left the Four Seasons Hotel.

Martin has a feeling that his understanding of the role has taken another step.

Of course, this is not nonsense and pleasure coveting, but a serious study of how a clown should face a beautiful woman.

In order to win the audition for the role, Martin not only competed honestly, but also paid hundreds of millions of people to help with sparring, which was really hard.

…………

In front of the crew office building where the "Dark Knight" nameplate was officially hung and the statue of Batman was erected in the foyer, Lily, with long hair tied into a ponytail, showed the doorman Louise's business card in the crew, and the doorman put her in.

Entering the antechamber, Lily waited for a while while Louise's assistant Nikki came down from upstairs.

She had met Lily, and remembered Lily's beauty and the special gift she had given her, and when she saw her, she recognized her and beckoned, "Come here." ”

Lily trotted over with her bag on her back and gave her a small gift.

Nikki hurriedly refused.

Lily said, "I made it myself, you can take it." ”

"Thank you." Nikki looked through the glass box and saw that instead of a crocodile tooth pendant and a clown statue, she was able to see a trinket carved from beautiful green stone, and she accepted it.

She led the way and introduced the situation as she walked: "Ms. Mel greeted the props team, but the producer is extremely strict with all aspects, and the crew will give you a chance if your ability passes." ”

Lily nodded, "I understand." ”

She heard from the teacher that the director of the crew is a real-life maniac, and the requirements for the props team are particularly high.

After gaining a foothold in school and Los Angeles, Lily began to prepare for the next academic year's tuition and living expenses, and when her teacher recommended her to try her luck in the Hollywood crew's props or art design team, she simply contacted Louise.

Nikki took Lily to the interview desk of the props group, waited for a while, took her in, and said directly to the three interviewers, "This is Lily Carter recommended by Ms. Mel." ”

The interviewers nodded slightly, and the people recommended by Louise Mayer were not suitable, and they could refuse.

But if you have the ability, you must give a fair and just result.

Seeing that Lily was young, Egerton, who was nearly 60 years old in the middle, asked, "Are you still studying?" ”

"I attended the California Institute of the Arts, where I studied sculpture. ”

The interviewer didn't ask any more questions, but gave her a box of black clay material and said, "I want a bat dart." ”

"Good!" Lily got busy.

The clay seemed to be completely tamed, and with the flick of Lily's fingers, the black bat dart had taken shape.

The interviewers nodded secretly, and the people who recommended them were capable enough, and they would not be embarrassed.

Nikki looked at Lily curiously, she didn't expect this girl to have such excellent manual work.

Not long after, a quick-dried bat dart was placed on the table in front of the interviewer.

The three interviewers exchanged a sentence, and Egerton in the middle said: "Leave your agent's contact information and let your agent negotiate the contract with the crew." ”

Lily then remembered and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have an agent." ”

The female interviewer on the left reminds, "You get an agent as soon as possible." ”

"Okay." Lily went to clean her hands and followed Nikki out.

Nikki knew about her relationship with Martin and said, "You can give Thomas a call. ”

Lily said, "That's all there is to it. ”

She had Thomas's contact information and immediately called Thomas's number.

Thomas is not in charge of business other than actors within the WMA, and with Martin's consent, he contacts a female agent he knows and comes to The Dark Knight Studios with her to discuss related matters.

Just as Lily called, Christian Bale and agent Parker passed by.

The young beautiful girl who suddenly broke into the field of vision caused Bell to subconsciously turn his head and look at Lily twice.

Even if he sees a lot of beauties in Hollywood, his eyes are bright at the moment.

Bell didn't stop, but asked the staff who led the way curiously: "That girl just now is a member of the crew?" ”

"I don't know." The staff said honestly: "But it looks a little familiar, and I can't remember where I've seen it." ”

The staff said, "Director Nolan is waiting for you at the training office." ”

"Thank you." Bell walked that way.

The agent who followed on the side reminded: "The Heath Ledger matter is over, don't mention it again." ”

Bell was helpless and responded, "I know." ”

Entering the training grounds, Nolan beckoned Bale over and introduced him to the new movement director.

The two exchanged a few words, and the action director left temporarily for something.

Nolan called Bell to the window and said, "This project has a budget of $180 million for production alone, do you know how important it is to me?" ”

Bell understood as soon as he heard it, and said, "I'm sorry about Heath Ledger. ”

Because of the strong recommendation of Heath Ledger, in Nolan's eyes, Bell is no longer very reliable, and said: "If there is an accident in this project, you and I, as well as the other main creators, will have a ruined future." ”

Bell heard the seriousness in Nolan's words and said, "I promise, there will be no next time." ”

This kind of assurance, as long as there is a problem once, the next time it is no longer credible, Nolan didn't seem to hear it, but instead ordered: "You are one of the two male protagonists in the crew, you should focus on preparing for the role, and the rest can be put away." ”

Bell replied, "I'm fully prepared for the role. ”

"Train well and get the best out of yourself." Nolan ended the conversation and walked off into the distance.

Bell could feel that Nolan had a prejudice against him.
