While Duke led the crew to Moscow to film, Warner Bros.'s early publicity for "The Dark Knight" was also in an orderly manner.

The Batman super fan Senator Patrick Cleach took the initiative to stand up. This kind of publicity is also good for him, and politicians also need popularity.

He was interviewed by N's TV station.

“Vermont Democratic Senator Patrick Cleach played a major role in the Dark Knight…”

After the routine title, an interview with the Senate Mr.

Facing the camera lens and the reporter's microphone, Patrick Cleach said with great brilliance, "Don't worry, I won't wear a tight suit in the film. I will play a noble gentleman. If you want to ask the crew in detail, I can only tell you that the plot of the film is quite tense and will definitely be very interesting."

The senator also showed off his last show, "I will donate my proceeds from my video to the Kellogg Haberd Children's Library in Montpellier, because he got the first book card in his life here."

In an office in the Warner Building, Jamie Fox closed the video with a strong publicity, looked at the opposite side, and said, "What is the statement of the theater?"

"Representatives of Imperial Entertainment Group and Amg Cinema Chain Group both said..."

An assistant quickly said, "As long as "The Dark Knight" has the quality of "Batman: The Moment of War", they will start the summer season and launch their resources as much as possible to support Duke's new film."

"Yeah!" Jamie Johnson nodded and said, "The publicity work cannot be relaxed, continue to advance."

As he said, although the promotion of "The Dark Knight" is far from real effort, it can easily see related news from newspapers to magazines to the Internet.

"Duke Rosenberg led the crew to Moscow to film, and Batman and the Joker will fight Russia!"

"The latest suits and chariots of "Dark Knight" were exposed, and the new version of the motorcycle chariot 'batpod' created by the Lamborghini team was extremely eye-catching!"

"The stills of "The Dark Knight" are exposed. The clown looks ferocious, Heath Ledger looks terrifying, and he plays the biggest villain with disfigurement!"

In addition to routine exposure of stills and sending messages, Warner Bros. has also used some other methods.

For example, a recently received an email containing the latest stills of "Dark Knight". The email was of unknown origin. They sent these pictures online as soon as possible, which attracted a large number of netizens to watch and almost caused the website to hang up.

However, many Batman fans also sent more worried messages. The focus of their worries lies in the Joker.

"I'm looking forward to the movie, but I'm skeptical of the actor who plays the Joker, because Jack Nicholson has already portrayed the role of the Joker in the first part of "Batman" back then."

"I think neither of them is the best clown. The clown should be a villain who is even ridiculous. For example, while singing and dancing, killing people, that is an excellent clown. The director should create such a clown."

At the same time, the Los Angeles Times entertainment edition published a Batman finale photo and analyzed in detail the mystery of the new outfit design on the front page headlines to attract public attention.

"First, helmet. In the past Batman movies, I saw Spider-Man's silk stocking-shaped hood burned and pulled out more than once, but Batman's hood will always be indestructible to wrap his head around. This design that seems a bit stiff now is not to protect the protagonist's fragile neck, but the bat suits in the past are all one-piece designs. Until this "Dark Night Knight", Batman can finally free his head with his own pleasure. The first major change to the new bat suit is to simulate the functions and characteristics of a motorcycle helmet and modify the mask into a detachable helmet. The actor only needs to twist his head to both sides to easily load and unload, but it is for this simple action that has posed the biggest problem for the designers."

"Second, Cloak. Anyone who has watched Pixar's classic animation "Superman Family" will know how serious the cloak is to a superhero. But in order to show off his classic look, Batman still insists on retaining his cloak today, and this is also a key part of the dress-up mission. In the past, the bat cloak could be opened in a low-altitude area to transform the protagonist into a human glider. The new bat suit gave it new functions, but the design manager was very strict about this. The specific function can only be left to the fans to figure it out."

"Third, gloves. Wolverine's hand can stretch out sharp bayonets. Batman, a beast hero, also has sharp claws. The gloves on the forearm are actually hidden with retractable sharp knives. This special glove is integrated with the clothes. It is one of the important hand-to-hand combat weapons and one of the designs that the designers are very proud of."

"Fourth, overall. The new bat suit is obviously much more complex than the old ones, with many components and rich texture. Of course, this is not the tight and hot PVC rubber set in the past! It is made of rubber, fiberglass, nylon and metal mesh, with a total of 200 components, combined with the latest technology. The shape is more modern and even has a mechanical flavor of science fiction. The clothes are quite elastic, and the strong figure of the starring Christian Bale can be perfectly displayed."

North American propaganda continues, and Duke's shooting in Moscow is coming to an end.

Most of the main actors followed Duke to Moscow, including Heath Ledger, who actually had no scenes here. This was both Duke's request and his own ideas.

According to Duke, as Batman's enemy, he must understand every move of Batman.

Although the clown's scene has been finished, Heath Ledger still has to dubb many clips in post-production.

The filming is about to end, and Heath Ledger is also about to leave the crew. After completing the day of shooting, he returned to the hotel. Duke made an appointment with Heath Ledger who was preparing his luggage.

"Is there anything to ask me for?"

In the cafe, Heath Ledger held a cup of coffee and looked at Duke, showing a slightly shy smile, "Duke, you won't say goodbye to me on purpose, right?"

After working on the same crew for several months, the two became familiar with each other. Duke looked at Heath Ledger and did not feel how deeply influenced by the role of Joker. Whether it was his personality or smile, he had no changes in his appearance when he first met.

He picked up the coffee cup, Duke took a sip slowly, and then said, "Do you have any plans to go back?"

"Go back to New York." Heath Ledger looked curiously at Duke. He knew that the director opposite him was not actually a nosy person. "He might have a break in his apartment in New York for a while."

"Don't go back to New York." Duke made his request directly, "The crew will end all the filming in three days. When I return to Los Angeles, I will start post-production immediately. You have a lot of scenes that need to be dubbed. Go to California for the time being. If you want to go on vacation with your girlfriend, I can lend you a beach villa."

Hearing that it was about the role and work, Heath Ledger thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll ask my assistant to change the ticket and wait for you in Los Angeles."

"Okay." Duke drank all the coffee in his cup and stood up, "See you in Los Angeles."

He really doesn't do much. Working can probably divert Heath Ledger's attention, which is basically Duke's limit. Otherwise, telling Heath Ledger directly not to take those addictive prescription drugs will kill you?

Duke is not crazy yet.

Besides, the two were not friends before the filming, and they are still not friends until now. They are just simple working relationships. Duke can do these things, which is because Heath Ledger is an actor who knows how to work hard and cherish opportunities. He has a good personality.

If it were a arrogant person like Mel Gibson or Sylvester Stallone, even if the other party died of drug abuse in front of him, Duke wouldn't bother to take a look.

The next day, Heathlger left Moscow, and Duke led the crew to film for two more days. All the shooting tasks of "The Dark Knight" were completed. He did not stop in Russia for much, but directly led the entire crew to return to North America by charter flight.

The crew disbanded. Duke only took a day off and got into the Warner Studios studio with McDaoson's editing team and began to work on the post-production of "The Dark Knight".

He first went to the studio of Industrial Light and Magic in the studio. Some shots that needed CGI production and synthesis. After the samples taken were sent, the technicians of Industrial Light and Magic began to produce them, and a small number of them had already taken shape.

In addition, in view of the leaks in "Iron Man", Duke and Warner Bros. have further strengthened their copy management. Although the last time, the disadvantages were converted into advantages through some means, it is impossible to have such good luck every time.

In particular, Warner Bros. has further improved the security measures of the server, and the people who can directly contact the full version of the video have been reduced to the scope of several relevant department heads.

Similarly, among the crew, only Duke, Charles Rowan, Anna Prinz and McDawson can get all the shooting materials and the final editing version.

Of course, these are not the focus of post-production. Strengthening security is just a guarantee for the smooth progress of post-production. Duke's main job is to complete preliminary editing and some other production work.

Especially for editing, although this kind of dark-wind heroic film is not the first time it has appeared, and strictly summarized in "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta" can also be counted as a film of this style, "The Dark Knight" has more practical significance and market appeal.
