Seeing Tina Fei hanging up the phone, Duke asked, "What happened?"

Tina still looked unbelievable, but she said calmly, "I just received news from Heath Ledger's agent that Heath Ledger was just found dead in the suite of Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills."

"What?" Anna Prinz and Charles Rowan made a surprise voice.

Duke was also surprised, but remained calm enough, just looked up at the sky, as if something was watching him and the world.

Although he never said anything bluntly due to the infringement of ** and so on, he did a lot, especially after the filming, he did not let Heath Ledger return to his apartment in New York, drag him to Los Angeles, and asked for dubbing from time to time. No matter from any perspective, Heath Ledger did not seem to have signs of being unable to extricate himself and being deeply depressed.

Originally, Duke thought the other party might take a different path and asked someone to find other publicity and hype materials.

Who knows, after changing the time and place, nothing seems to be able to change.

With a breath, Duke withdrew his gaze from the ceiling, "What about the cause of death? The news spreads?"

"The cause of death is unknown. The Los Angeles police have taken over the scene. I have contacted the county police department and I believe there will be preliminary results soon."

Tina Fee gradually returned to her normal expression and said, "The news should not have spread yet. Heath Ledger's agent just informed me and Jamie Johnson of Warner Bros."

"But." Tina Fei changed her voice, "Paparazzi have noticed there."

"Follow the news over there."

The situation is unclear now, and doing anything is not a wise choice. Duke told Tina Fei, "I will be notified as soon as possible if there is new news."

This news spread very quickly. In just over an hour, the entire studio learned about Heath Ledger's death, but not many people were very shocked. After all, Heath Ledger's drug addiction is not a too secret thing in the circle.

No matter what, the news still had a certain impact. Duke simply gave the post-production team a day off.

Then, he received a call from Warner Bros. and was about to leave the studio and go to the Warner Building in front. Tina Fey brought new news.

Duke has maintained a good relationship with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department over the years. News from the county sheriff's department said that Heath Ledger was definitely not killed by homicide, but by overdose. As for what medicine he was taking, it will be confirmed after his family agreed to an autopsy.

Everything that happened happened again after being forced back by Duke for a while.

"What are you looking at?"

Driving the electric car, Tina Fe looked at Duke curiously. She had noticed that Duke would look into the sky from time to time on the short road.

Duke shook his head, "I always feel that everyone has their own destiny."

Tina Fei was even more curious, "Don't you never believe in these things?"

"Just a little touch."

After hearing Duke's words, Tina Fei stopped saying anything. She knew her boss very well. Heath Ledger's death might make him feel sorry, but he would not be sad.

Walking into a conference room, several Warner Bros. executives and Charles Rowan were already waiting here. Jamie Johnson, who was in charge of the promotion and distribution of "The Dark Knight", greeted Duke, asking him to sit around and go straight to the topic without going around the circle.

In fact, Duke can guess some of the intentions of Warner Bros. to find him.

Things were like he guessed, and Jamie Johnson mentioned the topic Heath Ledger.

"I believe you all have received the news. It is a pity and sadness that the Australian actor Heath Ledger, who plays the clown, passed away today."

After saying this routine cliché, Jamie Johnson cleared his throat and said, "But now is not the time to be sad. It is necessary for us to do our best to complete Heath Ledger's last work. I have someone contacted Heath Ledger's parents, which is also their wish."

Obviously, Warner Bros. reacted fast enough to have put some work ahead.

Listening to these words, Duke remained silent. Warner Bros. obviously wanted to make a fuss about Heath Ledger. Such things would not be let go of any company, and for the deceased actors, this may not be a bad thing.

Think about Revan Phoenix who died silently by taking drugs overdoses. Since it cannot change the reality of death, it may be a blessing to leave classic works and characters.

“We got the exact news from the county police department,”

It was basically Jamie Johnson saying that others were listening, "Heath Ledger did not die of homicide, but used an overdose. Although he didn't know the type of drugs and whether it was related to drugs, these were enough for publicity."

"I think Heath Ledger should be portrayed as a clown. He was deeply trapped in it and could not extricate himself. He had to use drugs..."

According to Jamie Johnson, it is to work hard to create a positive image of Heath Ledger, transfer the reasons for drug addiction to the character of Joker, and then attract public attention and sympathy, and launch a series of commemorative and memorial activities.

The whole society is always tolerant of the deceased.

Think about it, how much sympathy and attention will an actor who is so deeply trapped in the role and cannot extricate himself?

Jamie Johnson finally looked at Duke and Charles Rowan, "Warner's publicity requires the cooperation of the crew, what about your opinions?"

"I think it's feasible." Charles Rowan gave the answer without thinking.

Duke has never been a moral cleansing person, nor has he always been a pretentious person. He has always been a realist.

So, Duke nodded slightly, "The crew will cooperate with Warner."

Seeing Duke nodding, Jamie Johnson breathed a sigh of relief. This publicity plan was finalized.

Warner Bros.'s publicity and public relations department has formulated relevant strategies almost as fast as possible and will implement them according to different situations. Before the time to get off work, Time Warner's TMZ website was the first to release specific information about Heath Ledger's death.

"Heath Ledger's soul is broken, and "The Dark Knight" becomes the masterpiece!"

"Shocking and sad news: Just today, Heath Ledger, a genius actor who once starred in "Brokeback Mountain", died in the suite at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills at the age of 27. He had just finished Duke Rosenberg's new film "The Dark Knight", which is not an exaggeration to describe it as "As the Sun". His rising life has not yet sounded the strongest voice, but it came to an abrupt end."

"The cause of death seems 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’ in playing the Joker in The Dark Knight, and when filming The Dark Knight, he faced sleep problems because he played the ‘indistracted, sympathetic mass murderer Joker’."

“In the interview, he said, ‘I only had two hours of sleep a night last week and I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, but my brain was still running.’ He said that he had to take two tablets of "ambush en" sleeping pills every day, but it only worked within two hours.”

"The Dark Knight became Heath Ledger's masterpiece!"

"Heath Ledger was extremely devoted to playing the role of the Joker in "The Dark Knight" before his death. Previously, Jack Nicholson, who played the "Joker" in the old version of "Batman", once expressed objections to letting Ledger play this role, but judging from the news leaked from all aspects, Heath Ledger's Joker is darker and more crazy than Nicholson's."

"Maybe it was this crazy character that brought trouble to Heath Ledger. Duke Rosenberg, the director of "The Dark Knight", once said in an interview last year, "This is a big challenge for Heath Ledger. The role he plays is very original, very scary, and extremely marginalized. This is a very young character, very lawless, injecting a lot of primitive horror and panic into our hearts, and Heath Ledger has done a level that shocks me."

"You can use your own performance to shock Duke Rosenberg. You can imagine how much effort and energy Heath Ledger has put into the role of Joker."

Tmz seemed to inject a basin of water into the boiling oil pan. Heath Ledger instantly became the focus of attention of the media across the United States, and various news related to him were scrambled to disclose it by the media.

News Corp, which made its fortune in Australia, also dug up a picture of Heath Ledger's interview with Australian media last year.

What was most surprising was that Heath Ledger happened to talk about death during his visit, saying that about death, I felt good because I could feel that I was still alive through my daughter.

For a time, the media across the United States were talking about it. Some people were lamenting the death of a young talent, but more people were speculating on the cause of his death.

After all, the decaying private lives of Hollywood celebrities are no secret to the American public.

The police also released preliminary findings. They found doctors' prescription drugs in the room of Heath Ledger's body, including sleeping pills, anti-anxiety drugs and an antihistamine. Three of them were obtained from Europe, and almost all the found bottles of medicine were filled with antidepressants.

In addition, sleeping pills and painkillers commonly used by insomnia patients were also found in the room, all of which were prescription drugs purchased by Heath Ledger.

At the same time, the police also denied the rumors that Heath Ledger died of drug use, and no trace of drugs was found in his room and body.

As the cause of death was determined, a series of targeted plans by Warner Bros. began to be launched on a large scale. (To be continued.)
