Chapter 32: Departure

"Stop ......"

John shouted the 16th stop with a megaphone, and Jim Carrey was like a curse for the past three days, and he was never able to enter the play.

And what's worse is that as John keeps shouting to stop, Jim Carrey's performance gets worse and worse, and many times, John vetoes his lines before he even speaks.

"Kerry, come here......"

John beckoned to Jim Carrey in front of the camera, these three days are not only a curse for Jim Carrey, but also a nightmare for John, watching the green dollars flow away like water every day, as the heir of the Morgan family, he also sends a pain in his heart.

But John is only physically painful and not angry, because this is not a problem with Jim Carrey's acting skills, but psychological reasons.

As long as many people in later generations hear the name "Jim Carrey", they will definitely label him as the "King of Comedy" in their hearts, but how many people know that under this mask of comedy, there is a desperate child from Canada.

When Jim Carrey was asked where his comedic talent came from after he became famous, he replied bluntly: "From despair." ”

Yes, desperate, Jim Carrey and another master of comedy, Charlie Chaplin, had a somewhat similar experience, both having a very unhappy childhood. His mother was suffering from a chronic acute illness and his father was unemployed, so he could only try to do some funny comedy performances every day to make his mother laugh at the sick bed.

This period of childhood life has become an indelible memory of his life, in order to hide this scar in his heart, he used comedy films to bury himself deeply, so when the whole world is laughing, he is the only one crying, which also becomes the main reason for his depression in later life.

And Phil's despair in "Stealing Love" is also his own despair for Jim Carrey, if he wants to play this role perfectly, then he must take off the mask and show his true self nakedly, which is very difficult for him, or for many people, the reason why people want to wear a mask is because they don't want people to see the real face under the mask, which has nothing to do with privacy, but psychological torture.

"Director!" said Jim Carrey, who had been with a tired look on his face, who had been a long three days, not only under the pressure of the crew members, but also tormented by himself.

"I think you know your question best, and I don't want to say more. But ......" John paused and looked into Jim Carrey's eyes and said, "I want to ask you, do you want to be a comedian or do you want to be a master of comedy." ”

There is an essential difference between the two, the former just makes people laugh, while the latter can make people cry in laughter. Comedy master Charlie Chaplin in "City Lights", in just a few minutes, makes people see all kinds of life, making people smile and then cry.

Master of Comedy!

Jim Carrey's cloudy eyes shone when he heard the word: "I want to be a master of comedy!"

John nodded: "If you want to become a master of comedy, then you have to beat yourself first." ”

"I know what happened to you in your childhood, and I regret what happened to you. But many things can not be forgotten by escaping, and can only be let go by facing them.

I'm sure your mother would like to see you become a master of comedy, bringing laughter to more people and spreading meaning to life. ”

Hearing John's words, Jim Carrey's eyes shrunk, recalling the smile on his mother's sickly face when he was a child.......

Looking at the sluggish Jim Carrey, John said heavily: "Carrey! I'll give you a week, if you can't get out, then I'll have to finish shooting." ”

John's words are very solemn, if Jim Carrey has been unable to face his heart, then he will not be able to play Phil's despair in the movie, and the whole movie can be said to be ruined, then John can only end filming, because he now has no money to find new actors and shoot anew.

"Director, I'm sorry....... Jim Carrey looked at John with mixed emotions in his heart, and he knew that he had brought trouble to John and the whole crew, and put the film on the brink of life and death.

"Go ahead......" John patted Jim Carrey on the shoulder, what he should have said has been said, and what he should have done has been done, as for whether Jim Carrey will suffer from depression like later generations, end his film career early, and become a fan of regret, it depends on Jim Carrey's own.

As a born-again person who knows the future trend, John naturally knows that there will be many regrets in this world in the future.

Michael Jackson is a pity......

Uncle Lin is sorry......

Mei Yanfang is a pity......

Zhang Guorong is also a pity......

John was not omnipotent.

"Director, thank you......" Jim Carrey's thank you was very sincere, and for the first time, he carefully observed the director in front of him who was younger than him, and he wanted to keep John in his heart.

After Jim Carrey left with her agent, Dani walked up to John with her notebook in her arms: "Boss! When choosing a leading actor, we should choose an experienced actor who can handle rich emotional dramas." ”

John smiled when he heard Dani's words: "There are many actors who can control rich emotional scenes in Hollywood, and those Oscar winners can do it, but those actors can't replace Jim Carrey's talent in comedy." ”

"Talent!"

Dani felt that Jim Carrey and the word were not close to each other at all, and the performance of Jim Carrey in the past few days was obvious to all the crew members, but when she heard John's words, she was a little puzzled in her heart, "Boss! You are so optimistic about Jim Carrey!"

"Not optimistic about ......"

John's words almost swallowed Dani. "But I hope he can break himself and become a master of comedy. ”

John is not God, and he has no way of knowing whether his few words are useful to Jim Carrey, so that he cannot avoid depression and prolong his time in the shadows.

The comedy industry is recognized as the worst hit area of depression, especially those who are masters of comedy, as if they can't escape this curse collectively, Charlie Chaplin, Woody Allen, Robin Williams, and Mr. Bean are all depressed.

So as for whether Jim Carrey can become a palace-level comedy character in this life, John really doesn't dare to pack a ticket, because life is full of all kinds of accidents.

When Dani heard John's words, she looked at Jim Carrey's departing back from afar, thinking about the word "master of comedy" that had just come out of John's mouth.
