Chapter 683 Saving Heath Ledger
Before Gilbert Jr. chose Heath Ledger, Robin Williams, Reggie Halmi, Paul Bettany and Adrien Brody had all expressed interest in playing the Joker.

Especially Adrien Brody, the Oscar-winning actor even reduced his salary to $500,000 in order to get the role of the Joker.

But Gilbert Jr. finally chose Heath Ledger, simply because he remembered his performance as being so outstanding in his previous life.

Adrien Brody's performance was full of uncertainty and there was no reference, so Gilbert Jr. did not choose him.

Heath Ledger did not disappoint everyone's expectations. When he saw him again, young Gilbert was surprised to find that Heath Ledger had completely changed.

"Where have you been for the past month? If your agent hadn't kept in touch with the crew, I would have thought you had disappeared."

Heath Ledger looked much thinner than a month ago, his hair was a little dirty, as if he hadn't washed it for a week. He also looked tired and had dark circles under his eyes.

He explained in an odd, hoarse voice: “I locked myself in the bedroom of my apartment and read all the Joker comics and studied the characters in the script.

I tried to make all kinds of weird laughs to simulate the clown's mental state and get myself on the same wavelength as him.

And I also used a diary to record my mental state so that I could better devote myself to the performance..."

Listening to the efforts Heath Ledger made for this role, Gilbert Jr. was afraid for Christian Bale. He was really afraid that Christian Bale would not be able to cope with Heath Ledger in such a state.

Sighing, Gilbert Jr. said, "Heath, hard work is a good thing, but I don't want the actors I choose to collapse before filming begins, okay?"

Heath Ledger showed a weird and ugly smile: "Don't worry, Director Gilbert, I know where my limits are."

"No, I don't want you to really become a clown." Little Gilbert thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll give you a room. Do you have a girlfriend? Invite her to go on vacation to Hawaii with you."

Before Heath Ledger could say anything, Gilbert Jr. made the decision without question: "You don't have to say anything, I approve of it, go ahead!"

Heath Ledger had no choice but to thank Gilbert Jr. and said that he would definitely play the role well.

When Charles Roven walked in, he happened to meet Heath Ledger who was leaving. He said to Gilbert Jr., "I think Heath is not in a good state. What's wrong with him?"

Gilbert Jr. told Charles Roven that Heath Ledger locked himself in a room to study the role, and Charles Roven exclaimed: "What a good actor!"

"Yeah, is there any way to keep such actors for a long time?" exclaimed Gilbert Jr.

Charles Roven didn't quite understand what he meant, but he said, "That's easy. Why don't you invite him to star in your future movies more often?"

Little Gilbert was stunned. He was not talking about the same thing, but he still smiled and said, "That's true."

Gilbert believes that hard work may not necessarily be rewarded, but a hard-working person should at least be appreciated. Moreover, Heath Ledger is a very talented actor.

The cause of his death in his previous life was not because he couldn't get out of playing the clown, but because of an overdose of drugs.

In fact, this is a normal thing in Hollywood. Michael Jackson also took a lot of drugs because of mental torture, including various sedatives and painkillers.

But now, after treatment at the Landrini-Jobs-Gates Medical Center, his condition has improved greatly, and more importantly, his spirit and inner world have become strong again.

So when it comes to how to save Heath Ledger, Gilbert Jr. thinks Michael Jackson's method is very effective.

To awaken Michael Jackson's inner world, he relies on the many fans around the world who love and admire him. But if Heath Ledger wants to get rid of his pain, he may have to work hard on love and family affection.

It is said that Westerners are profit-seeking animals, but even animals have such things as a tiger will not eat its own cubs, and a licking of the calf is a kind of love. Emotional support is a strong source of inner strength for a person, and Gilbert Jr. has always believed in this. So he said to Charles Roven: "Please help me pay more attention to Heath Ledger, especially his family situation.

Do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes, they have a daughter." Charles Rowan said, "But I heard that his girlfriend is breaking up with him recently."

"Then go tell that woman not to break up for now. Just tell her that it was me who said that I needed her to take care of Heath Ledger."

Gilbert thought for a moment and added, "If she insists on breaking up, there's nothing we can do. Just try to introduce a girlfriend to Heath Ledger."

Charles Rowan looked at little Gilbert strangely: "I say, are you okay?"

"I'm not sick, I'm serious."

"It's inexplicable." Although it felt strange, Charles Rowan still did it.

But there is no need to find a girlfriend. Heath Ledger and his girlfriend Michelle Williams took their daughter to Hawaii for vacation.

They lived in a private villa provided by Gilbert Jr. and had a small yacht. While fishing at sea, Heath Ledger proposed to Michelle Williams, and Michelle agreed.

Heath Ledger promised that after filming "The Dark Knight", the two would plan their wedding.

After receiving the news, Gilbert Jr. called to congratulate Heath Ledger and asked Cameron Diaz to represent him and send gifts to the engaged couple.

With the bond of family, this is the first step.

Gilbert Jr. also specially invited Michelle Williams to play a role in "The Dark Knight" so that she could take care of Heath Ledger on the set.

What remains is treatment. Gilbert Jr.'s medical center has sufficient experience in this regard and believes that it can help Heath Ledger get rid of his drug addiction.

Nicolas Cage has also made a lot of efforts. He plays the double-faced Harvey Dent. This summer, he once again consolidated his first-line throne with "I Am Legend".

Nicolas Cage also took the role of Two-Face very seriously. He studied the character in depth and believed that Harvey Dent was actually a schizophrenic.

So he spent a lot of time studying the state of schizophrenia, living and eating with them in a mental hospital for two weeks.

When young Gilbert learned about this, he couldn't help but sigh that it is not easy to be a good actor in Hollywood.

In fact, when the information about the role of Harvey Dent was first released, Hugh Jackman, Ryan Phillippe, Liev Schreiber and Josh Lucas all publicly expressed their interest in the role of prosecutor Harvey Dent.

Perhaps it is because he is facing so much competition that Nicolas Cage works so hard.

Compared to these two actors, Christian Bale's efforts seem insignificant. He is still working hard on his fighting skills and plans to do most of the action and car chases himself.

Bale said he likes the Batmobile very much and he thinks he is not Batman if he doesn't drive the Batmobile.

But in fact, he rarely drives the Batmobile himself, and most of the time it is done by stuntmen. In this film, the Batmobile will also appear.
