Chapter six hundred and eighteenth swan song
Seeing Tina Fey hang up the phone, and before she can come over, Duke asks, What happened?
Tina still had that unbelievable expression, but her words were calm, I just received news from Heath Ledger's agent that Heath Ledger was just found dead in Beverly Hills. In a Hilton hotel suite.
What? Anna Prinz and Charles Luo Wenqi made surprised voices.
Duke was also surprised, but remained calm enough to just look up at the sky, as if something was watching him and the world.
Although he never said anything bluntly due to invasion of privacy, etc., but he did a lot, especially after the filming ended, he did not let Heath Ledger return to his apartment in New York, dragged him to Los Angeles, and from time to time he Get the voice acting, and by any measure, Heath Ledger doesn't seem to be showing signs of falling into a character's inextricability and deep depression.
Originally, Duke thought that the other party might take a different path, and asked people to find other materials for publicity and hype.
Who knows, changing the time and place, it seems that nothing can change.
Exhaling a breath, Duke looked away from the ceiling, What about the cause of death? The news spread?
The cause of death is unknown. The Los Angeles police have taken over the scene. I have contacted the county police department. I believe there will be preliminary results soon.
Tina Fey gradually returned to her normal expression, and added, The news should not have spread. Heath Ledger's agent just notified me and Jamie Johnson of Warner Bros.
However. Tina Fei's voice changed, the paparazzi have already noticed that there.
Follow the news over there.
Now that the situation is unclear, it is not a wise choice to do anything, Duke told Tina Fey, Notify me as soon as there is new news.
The news spread very fast, but within an hour, the entire studio learned of the news of Heath Ledger's death, but not many people were shocked. After all, Heath Ledger's drug addiction is in the circle. It's not too secretive.
Regardless, the news still had some impact. Duke simply gave the post-production team a day off.
Later, he received a call from Warner Bros., about to leave the studio area and go to the Warner Building in front. Tina Fey has new news.
Duke has maintained a good relationship with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department over the years. According to the news from the County Sheriff's Office, Heath Ledger was definitely not killed by homicide, but by overdose. As for what he was taking drug. It will not be determined until the family agrees to the autopsy.
Everything that had happened happened again after being forcibly dragged back by Duke for a while.
What are you looking at?
Driving the battery car, Tina Fey looked at Duke curiously. She had noticed that Duke would look up at the sky from time to time on this short road.
Duke shook his head, I always feel that everyone has their own destiny.
Tina Fey was even more curious. Didn't you never believe in these things?
Just some feelings.
Hearing Duke's words, Tina Fey said nothing. She knew her boss very well, and Heath Ledger's death might make him regret, but not sad.
Walking into a conference room, several executives from Warner Bros. and Charles Rowan were already waiting here. Jamie Johnson, who was in charge of the Dark Knight announcement, greeted Duke and asked him to do whatever he wanted. After sitting, don't go around in circles and go straight to the topic.
In fact, Duke can also guess what Warner Bros. intends to find himself.
As he had guessed, the subject of Jamie Johnson's mention was Heath Ledger.
I believe everyone has received the news. It is very sad and sad that Australian actor Heath Ledger, who played the clown, passed away today.
After saying this routine, Jamie Johnson cleared his throat and said again. But now is not the time for grief. We need to do our best to finish Heath Ledger's last work. I have already had Heath Ledger's parents contacted, and this is their wish.
Clearly, Warner Bros. was quick enough to do some work ahead.
Listen to these words. Duke has always remained silent, and Warner Bros. is clearly going to make a fuss about Heath Ledger, a thing that no company will let go of, and it's not necessarily a bad thing for the dead actor.
Think of Rui Fan Phoenix, who passed away silently from a drug overdose. Since the reality of death cannot be changed, it is a blessing to leave classic works and characters.
We got the exact message from the County Sheriff's Office,
Basically Jamie Johnson is saying, others are listening, Heath Ledger didn't die from homicide, but from a drug overdose. I don't know the type of drug and whether it's related to drugs, but these are very important for publicity. Enough said.
I think that Heath Ledger should be made into the role of the clown with all his heart and soul, and he can't extricate himself from it, and he has to resort to drugs...
According to Jamie Johnson, it is to try to create a positive image of Heath Ledger, to transfer the cause of drug addiction to the role of the clown, and then to attract public attention and sympathy, and to launch a series of commemorative and mourning activities.
Society as a whole is always tolerant of those who have passed away.
Think about it, how much public sympathy and attention will an actor who is so engrossed in his role elicit?
Jamie Johnson finally looked at Duke and Charles Rowan, Warner's promotion needs the cooperation of the crew, what's your opinion?
I think it's feasible. Charles Rowan gave the answer without thinking.
Duke has never been a moralist, never a smug person, he's always been a realist.
Therefore, Duke nodded lightly, The crew will cooperate with Warner.
Seeing Duke nod, Jamie Johnson breathed a sigh of relief that the publicity plan was finalized.
The public relations department of Warner Bros. has formulated relevant strategies almost as quickly as possible, and will implement them according to different situations. Before getting off work, Time Warner's TMZ website took the lead in announcing the death of Heath Ledger. specific information.
Heath Ledger's soul cut off Beverly, and The Dark Knight became a swan song!
Shocking and sad news: Just today, Brokeback Mountain talent Heath Ledger died in his suite at the Hilton Beverly Hills at the age of 27. He had just starred in the After Duke Rosenberg's new film The Dark Knight, it is not an exaggeration to describe him as 'at the height of the sky', his rising life has not yet reached the strongest sound, and it has come to an abrupt end.
The cause of death appears to be an overdose!
In December last year, Heath Ledger said in an interview with The New York Times that he was 'a little too nervous' to play the Joker in The Dark Knight, and he was a The 'unhinged, unsympathetic mass murderer clown' has trouble sleeping.
In the interview he said, 'Last week I was only able to sleep two hours a night and I couldn't stop thinking. My body was exhausted, but my brain was still working.' Every day, he says, he eats Two 'Ambien' sleeping pills, but it only works within two hours.
The Dark Knight became Heath Ledger's swan song!
Heath Ledger had just been extremely devoted to the role of the Joker in The Dark Knight before his death. Before, Jack Nicholson, who played the 'Joker' in the old version of Batman, had a relationship with Jean Ledger. Playing the role is debatable, but from all sources, Heath Ledger's Joker is darker and crazier than Nicholson's.
Maybe it's this crazy character that haunts Heath Ledger, the Dark Knight director Duke Rosenberg said in an interview last year. A big challenge, his character is very original, very scary, very marginal. It's a very young character, very lawless, and instills a lot of raw horror and panic in our hearts, and Heath Ledger did it to a degree that shocked me.
Being able to shock Duke Rosenberg with his own performance, you can imagine how much effort and energy Heath Ledger put into the role of the Joker.
TMZ seemed to have poured a basin of water into the boiling oil pan, and Heath Ledger instantly became the focus of the national media's attention, and all kinds of news related to him were scrambling to be disclosed by the media.
News Corp, a fortune in Australia, also dug up a picture of Heath Ledger's interview with Australian media last year.
The most surprising thing is that Heath Ledger happened to talk about death in the interview, he said - about death, I feel good, because I can feel alive through my daughter.
For a while, there was a lot of talk in the American media. Some people were lamenting the death of a young talent, but more people were speculating about the cause of his death.
After all, the rotten private lives of Hollywood stars are no secret to the American public.
The police also released preliminary findings. They found in the room where Heath Ledger's body was found a doctor's prescription, including sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs and an antihistamine, three of which were obtained from Europe, and hotel suites. Almost all of what was found inside were full vials of antidepressants.
In addition, sleeping pills and painkillers commonly used by insomnia patients were found in the room, all of which were prescribed by Heath Ledger.
At the same time, the police also denied the rumor that Heath Ledger died of drug use. No traces of drugs were found in his room and body.
With the cause of death determined, a series of targeted plans by Warner Bros. began to unfold on a large scale. (^)
