After seeing off Roger Enrique and Devon Morgan, John returns to the set with Dinny.

"Zach! As soon as John arrived on the set, he asked about assistant director Zack Snyder.

"Don't worry, boss! It's all ready, it's waiting for you. Zack Schneider said as he handed the megaphone to John.

John took the megaphone and said, "So what are you waiting for? Let Alan and Bud seal the streets. Tell them that if anyone accidentally lets someone who isn't an extras into the street and leaves a face on camera, then I'll deduct their wages. ”

Lao Mei has a very strong sense of maintaining personal portraits, and you can see many photographers of the crew carrying cameras to shoot randomly on the street in Huaxia.

But in the United States, I don't dare to do this, everyone who leaves a portrait in the camera, the crew will find that person as soon as possible and sign the authorization letter, otherwise the scene must be deleted, which is why some people go to Los Angeles to play, and sometimes they will meet strangers who come forward to ask him to sign the portrait release.

After instructing Zach, John sat down in front of the monitor and shouted with a megaphone:

"The crew prepares ......"

"Actors ready to ......"

"Playing the board ......"

As John's voice fell, the sign clicked, and Phil was seen standing on the street looking at Rita and saying, "I'm almost finished, no ......"

"Stop ......"

John shouts a halt with a megaphone, and this scene is a scene where the male protagonist Phil is tired of the repeated groundhog day, and he says goodbye to the heroine Rita with despair.

But Jim Carrey's performance clearly did not portray the desperation of the male protagonist in the play, Phil.

"Carrey, you have to adjust, I don't need a happy Phil now, I need a Phil who is tired of life and desperate for life, do you understand?" John walked in front of Jim Carrey and tried to explain the requirements of the character in the script, he hoped that Jim Carrey could quickly adapt to the changes in the character's inner emotions.

"Okay director, I see. Jim Carrey nodded, he knew that he hadn't been stripped from his previous role, so he was very affected when he first performed it, and the whole performance looked a little pompous.

"Then you prepare, okay, let's turn it on again. John patted Jim Carrey on the shoulder and encouraged.

When Jim Carrey was ready and signaled that John could start shooting again, John took the megaphone and shouted again:

"The crew prepares ......"

"Actors ready to ......"

"Playing the board ......"

"Click......"

Phil: I'm almost finished, there's no way out, I want you to remember that we had a great day......"

"Stop ......"

John sat on the monitor and shouted to stop again, Jim Carrey's performance was still not in place, it was not that John was nitpicking and deliberately making trouble for Jim Carrey.

It's that Jim Carrey didn't enter the play at all when he played the role of Phil, and the whole performance was floating on the surface, so naturally it couldn't meet John's requirements.

"Carrey, your performance needs to be taken a little more, and let me see despair in your eyes, that deep despair, okay? Although John was in a hurry to shoot the schedule, he tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, and he didn't want to put pressure on Jim Carrey, otherwise the result would definitely backfire.

"Okay director, please give me some time, I'll adjust. "Jim Carrey felt that he was in a very bad state today, and he couldn't get into the play.

"No problem! tell me when you're ready. John nodded and looked at Sandra Bullock, who was playing Rita, and said, "Miss Bullock, you can rest too! ”

"Good director!" Sandra Bullock said, glancing at John, and then twisting her little waist towards her agent.

And John looked at Sandra Bullock's departing back and shook his head, he didn't dare to provoke Sandra Bullock, who is a well-known "tender grass professional" in Hollywood, and there are countless Hollywood fresh meat under her skirt.

So from the first day he saw Sandra Bullock, John decided to keep his distance from her, lest he become one of the young grasses.

In the afternoon, after Jim Carrey found John and signaled that filming could begin, John hurriedly sat down behind the monitor and shouted with a megaphone:

"The crew prepares ......"

"Actors ready to ......"

"Playing the board ......"

"Click......"

As the field sign sounded, John stared nervously at the monitor, hoping that Jim Carrey would really be in good shape, preferably in one pass.

Phil : I'm almost finished, there's no way out, I want you to ......"

"Stop ......"

It was only a few seconds after the camera was turned on, and John reluctantly shouted to stop, Jim Carrey's performance was not as good as once, and he didn't find the feeling at all.

"Carrey, you have a good rest today, and we'll shoot again tomorrow!" John felt very painful when he said this, because for every day the crew delayed, he would have to pay more than 20,000 dollars more, so could he not be in pain? But in order to shoot the ideal movie, he could only cut his flesh ruthlessly.

"Director, let me try it one last time! If it still doesn't work, then I will shoot again tomorrow, is it okay?" Jim Carrey is more energetic than himself, as an actor, he must have the ability to break through the role and the courage to face difficulties, otherwise he will never be able to improve.

"Alright!" John felt a little helpless, but nodded anyway, picked up the megaphone, and shouted again:

"The crew prepares ......"

"Actors ready to ......"

"Playing the board ......"

"Click......"

Phil: I'm almost finished, and I haven't ......."

"Stop ......"

John shouted to stop, then shook his head at Jim Carrey, indicating that it still didn't work.

When Jim Carrey saw John shaking his head, he immediately walked quickly to John's side and watched the replay of the video on the monitor. When he saw his performance just now, he also disapproved of his performance from the bottom of his heart, and the biggest reason was that his external expression could not match his inner emotions.

John looked at Jim Carrey's face a little ugly, and hurriedly comforted him: "Carrey! It's okay, if it doesn't work today, let's continue filming tomorrow, Rome was not built in a day, don't care." ”

John's last remarks finally persuaded Jim Carrey to return to the hotel. Otherwise, this madman would have insisted on shooting, and when the time came, it would have been a waste of not only time, but also film.

"That's it for today, let's rest!" John watched Jim Carrey leave, and also ended the day's filming, the whole crew was busy all day, not a single shot was taken, John felt that this was the worst day since he directed independently.
