Chapter 325： Jim Carrey

A cafe near the Warner headquarters building, by the window on the second floor.

After ordering some snacks, pastries and coffee, the three sat down.

Actually there is nothing to say.

It's like when I finally met, I just wanted to invite him by chance.

Jim Carrey and his agent share similar thoughts.

After exchanging a few words with each other, Sangler took the initiative to lead the topic to the movie, "Director Lehmann, do you have any new creative plans recently?"

"There are some plans."

Sangler just asked casually, after all, he would go for friendship.

But such an answer can not help but make people think.

Whether it's successful or not, let's talk about it first.

Such a highly qualified director, a director who is in the limelight, and a director who has broken through 300 million in North America, can you give it a try?

Sangler winked.

Jim Carrey was no longer silent, opened his mouth and asked, "So, Director Lyman, is there a role for me?"

Lyman didn't speak, didn't shake his head or nod, just thought about something there.

But in the eyes of the two people on the opposite side, such a silent move makes people feel very bad.

I thought that a simple verbal invitation would make people unhappy.

Sangler smiled immediately and tried to smooth things over, "If it's not suitable, then forget it. We just asked casually, and it didn't matter."

Lyman came back to his senses and said, "No, I was just thinking about the image of Jim Carrey."

Yes, image and temperament.

Jim Carrey is undoubtedly a comedic genius.

In the early years, he was famous for imitating celebrities, and was a resident guest of those funny variety shows.

Later, with the unparalleled muscle control, he formed his own unique style of exaggeration and humor.

A lot of people said that he just stood there without using body language, and was amused just by that face.

After entering the entertainment industry, he gained fame in Hollywood with the series "Detective Plane" and "Geezes in Disguise", establishing his status in comedy films in one fell swoop.

After that, everyone knows it.

Jim Carrey is tired of comedy, or rather, he's tired of amusing audiences with performances that make him numb and disgusted.

He didn't have a choice before, but now he wants to change his identity, that is, he is transforming.

When faced with the difficulty of transition, it seems that every actor wants to get something back from the Oscars.

Everyone is complaining about Xiao Lizi's escorting road, but they don't know that Jim Carrey has been running with him for so many years.

Compared with his achievements in comedy, he has walked very slowly in recent years, and the road seems to be getting narrower and narrower.

Therefore, at first glance, facing a director like Lehmann who has won double recognition from Oscar and Cannes, and said that it was his image, he couldn't help being a little nervous.

Lyman was still staring at him, and Jim Carrey smiled and asked, "Do you need me to stand up?", trying to make himself less embarrassed.

But without thinking, Lehman really nodded.

Jim Carrey pushed the chair away and actually stood.

After a while, Lyman waved his hand, indicating that he could sit down.

There is no denying that Jim Carrey is not handsome, but he has a unique temperament.

It's not the ability to make jokes with every move on the screen, but when he doesn't deliberately exaggerate, he has a middle-aged dullness.

In terms of acting skills, his acting foundation is very solid.

Yes, comedy performances require more solid stature and eloquence, and he has always been the best in this regard.

Thinking about it this way, he really fits the role.

A work that Lyman had thought about shooting.

When I saw the face behind the comedian again, the story suddenly popped into my mind.

A previous life also starred a comedian and told the inspirational film "Daydreamer" about dreams.

If "Million Dollar Baby" is about touching, touching, and motivating people with a harsh reality, then "Daydream" is about lifting people with a very lighthearted attitude.

The way they express it is different, but the idea that comes to the end is the same.

Moreover, Jim Carrey also fits the role in the plot very well - a middle-aged man who loves to daydream, is full of fantasy, but has always been bad. He is in a very difficult time, the transformation is not recognized, and the return is not what he expects.

Of course, the more important part of this is that Ryman loves the story.

He thought it would be fun to shoot and complement "Million Dollar Baby."

The hardest thing in life is to try, and the most terrible thing is to give up.

It is appropriate to have this state of mind.

"If you want, wait for me for two weeks, and then come back to build the project. At the same time, you must be the male lead. But to be better, you have to gain weight these days, and have a little fat on your belly."

"Push." ​​Sandler, who was drinking coffee, heard the words and almost spit out the coffee he drank.

What Lehman meant was really unexpected.

Sandler even suspected something was wrong with his ears.

Instead, he looked at Jim Carrey. This is the true master.

Jim Carrey wasn't so shocked, but was a little surprised.

Seriously, this may be the fastest time he has accepted the role - the director has already identified it as the protagonist without even knowing what the script is about.

I don't know if this is recognition or honor.

Think about how much effort it took and how many times I closed doors when I debuted before I got a chance to perform.

Think about it again, the "Fake God" that I played last year was also sniped off. That time, "Bad Guy" happened to hang up his film and beat it.

I don't know how big the gap is, and how much attention has been sucked away.

However, he was not very angry with Lehmann, but felt that he was capable.

Today, by fate, the two have the opportunity to work together again.

Makes Jim Carrey feel weird.

what is this?

"Director Lyman, I...I heard it right." **** couldn't help asking.

The actor of the new film, just... so easy to get a promise?

Lyman laughed: "Of course, I want to ask Jim Carrey to be the male lead in my next movie."

Before that, the two of them just habitually formed a good relationship with promising directors and tried to get in touch.

After it was really confirmed, there was an inexplicable feeling.

"If you gain weight? How much?"

Instead, Jim Carrey was concerned about the second half of Lyman's words.

"It's very simple, don't get in shape, eat a little more, and get fat naturally."

"Any more?"

"No, let's talk in detail when I come back from France. In short, you can save the schedule, which is about from the end of May to August."

"no problem."

"Then it's settled first, everyone is happy to cooperate."

"Pleasant to work with."
