Chapter 979: The Dialogue of the Comedy Heavenly King [Five Watches]

The old acquaintance of Zhou Xingchi in Lin Youlun's mouth is Liu Zhenwei, who is known as the "nerve knife" in the Hong Kong film industry.

From the beginning of "Journey to the West" to the later "Strange Heroes in Disguise", Liu Zhenwei and Zhou Xingchi have cooperated many times, and the two sides are more familiar and are very good friends.

With Liu Zhenwei in the middle, Zhou Xingchi and Lin Zhenying are the starring actors, and the other is a martial arts instructor, as long as the two do not have direct contact, they should be able to get along without incident.

Liu Zhenwei received a call from Lin Youlun, but agreed without much hesitation.

After Zhou Xingchi became famous, Liu Zhenwei was actually consciously reducing the cooperation between the two, because he knew that Zhou Xingchi had become more and more difficult to cooperate with him as he became more and more famous, and Zhou Xingchi had asked him to cooperate several times, but he had rejected him for various reasons.

This time I agreed, mainly because Lin Youlun's face was there, and this movie is related to the success or failure of Zhou Xingchi's entry into Hollywood, Zhou Xingchi will definitely become very obedient.

Two days later, Liu Zhenwei and Lin Youlun boarded a plane to the United States.

Lin Youlun went to the United States because Qiu Shuzhen's due date was approaching, and he had to go over to accompany him, while Liu Zhenwei went to meet the other leading actor of "The Green Hornet".

——

The curtain of the bedroom was suddenly opened, and the harsh sunlight shone on his face, and Jim Carrey pulled a pillow to cover his face, turned over and continued to sleep.

The agent, Marvin, sat down and removed the pillow, then turned his brain to the state where the bell was about to ring, and threw it next to Jim Carrey's head.

"Oh, Marvin. Can I get a little more sleep? ”

Jim Carrey was trying to cover her head with the quilt. The shrill sound of the alarm clock dispelled all the drowsiness in his brain at once. He sat up sharply from his bed, his expression as if he was terrified.

Looking back at the "initiator" who had just woken him up, Jim Carrey immediately felt an urge to throw it in the trash.

He rubbed his temples with his hands, and complained angrily to the agent who was standing on the edge of the bed with his hands in his hands: "Marven, I have emphasized to you many times, don't use this way to wake me up again, otherwise one day I will be scared out of heart disease by you!" ”

"Kerry, you can look at the time. It's almost noon now, and there's an important audition right after lunch, and if you are late, you will be disqualified. Marven reminded seriously.

Jim Carrey covered his head with a painful expression: "But can't you just do it another way?" And this nasty alarm clock, I remember last time I threw the one at home and you bought a new one? ”

Marven clasped his hands and smiled, "I've tried many ways to get you out of bed, but this one is the most effective...... The same style and the same color, I went to three supermarkets to buy it, how about it. Do you like it? ”

"Maybe when you come back tomorrow, it'll be lying in the trash can outside." Jim Carrey said hell after. I started to get up, pick up the clothes on the bedside table, and put them on my body.

"It's okay, I bought ten in one go this time, and I don't believe you're going to throw them all away."

The agent's words made Jim Carrey suddenly feel a sense of madness, and he began to speed up his dressing, lest the other party say anything that made him unbearable.

"Wine bottles, panties left by women...... I don't think your life should go on like this, I know a lot of artists with great prospects, and the most ruined ones are all ruined by alcohol and women! ”

Jim Carrey didn't know how many times he had heard his agent say this, and he had long been immune to the contents of it.

"Alright, Marven, you can help me with that new pair of socks from the drawer over there, I like the gray patterned ones." Jim Carrey's interrupted agent's preaching.

Marven glanced at Jim Carrey a little speechlessly, and finally couldn't stand his earnest eyes and pleaded, and went to help him get the socks.

"Marven, if you're not that much, I think you're definitely the best agent I've ever met!" Jim Carrey said as he put on his socks.

Marven shrugged, "Thank you for your affirmation, but you think that my shortcomings are precisely my greatest strengths, and I will always disagree with you on this point." ”

"Okay, let's get down to business, in addition to that interview at noon, there are any good scripts you want to recommend to me recently?"

"A director from Hong Kong gave me a script, I've read it pretty well, maybe you can think about it." Marven thought for a moment and said.

"A Hong Kong movie asked me to be the protagonist, are you sure?" Jim Carrey had an incredulous expression on his face, "I'm very interested in the Tibetan lamas in China, but I don't think they will ask me to play this." ”

"To correct your statement, you are only one of the main characters, and if you don't perform very satisfactorily, you will even be robbed of the scene by another lead actor...... There are also many Hong Kong movies starring many Americans in Hollywood, such as "Pirates of the Caribbean", which has exceeded $100 million at the North American box office, and "Super School Bully", which is still being filmed, you can see Shange Winton and Johnny Depp in the cast list, and I want to say that the investor of this movie is Lin Youlun, and this film will be invested and produced in the name of Oriental DreamWorks, so to be precise, this is a Hollywood movie and not a Hong Kong movie, although the crew is except for you, The other members may all be from Hong Kong. ”

Jim Carrey bit his toothbrush and poked his head out of the bathroom with a mouth full of foam: "So your suggestion is for me to give it a try?" ”

Marven pulled a chair and sat down: "Unless you are not very confident in yourself, if this is the case, I have nothing to say." ”

"I'm not confident in myself, Marven, are you kidding?" Jim Carrey finished washing, and the towel was still around his neck and walked out of the bathroom.

"Listen to me first, will you say it well? The other star of this movie is also famous for acting in comedy in Hong Kong, and his acting style is somewhat similar to yours. ”

Despite Marven's emphasis, Jim Carrey still didn't have the patience to listen to him finish.

"You're talking about the guy in "Strange Heroes in Disguise"?"

The movie starring Zhou Xingchi is the most widely circulated in North America is "Strange Heroes in Disguise", and this movie is also Jim Carrey's favorite work, his exaggerated performance in "Detective Plane Head" is partly based on some of Zhou Xingchi's performances in this movie.

As soon as agent Marven mentioned this matter, the first thing that came to Jim Carrey's mind was Zhou Xingchi.

"Correct, but no reward."

Jim Carrey's expression became serious, and he began to pace back and forth in the room, and those who knew him well knew that this was his usual behavior when he was excited.

"You say that, I can't wait to know what this movie is about, Marven, you must have read the script, right?"

"Carey, I suggest you read the script yourself before making a decision, rather than through my paraphrasing, which won't help you understand the character in any way." Marven decisively rejected Jim Carrey's request.

"Please, Marven, this is the last time, okay? I'll read the script later, but I just want to know in advance what kind of interesting story this is. ”

"Bruce Lee, you must know each other, right?" Marven suddenly said without a head.

Jim Carrey nodded hesitantly, "Does Bruce Lee have anything to do with the topic we're discussing?" ”

"Of course it matters, Bruce Lee first filmed a TV series called "The Green Hornet" in the United States, in which he played the assistant of the Green Hornet, and was well-known to American audiences for showing flexible fists and feet, and the actor who played the Green Hornet was tragic, he was robbed of most of the limelight by Bruce Lee."

Marven said this, and Jim Carrey interrupted him again.

"You mentioned just now that I'm going to steal the limelight if I'm not careful, so this movie is an adaptation of The Green Hornet, right? That's right, it must be so! ”

Marven shrugged, "Okay, you guessed it. ”

"The Green Hornet" originated from the ABC radio drama, which was launched in comic books in the 40s, and then the superhero's fans grew, and then it was made into a TV series in the 60s. Bruce Lee became famous because of this, but the TV series itself was not very successful, and since then, Hollywood has been constantly rumoring that it is going to be made into a movie, but there has been no real action, and I didn't expect that Lin Youlun finally bought the copyright.

After figuring out the basic situation of this movie, Jim Carrey has new doubts.

"As far as I know, my partner in the film doesn't seem to be good at action scenes, and you also said that he is a comedian like me, can you say that actors from Hong Kong can show flexible kung fu whenever they want?"

Marvin got up from his chair, looked at Jim Carrey, and said seriously: "That's the second reason why I recommend you to take this film, according to the Hong Kong director, the film's investors want to make this film into a comedic superhero movie with special effects, I'm not sure that this idea will be successful, but it should be a very helpful acting attempt for you." ”

Jim Carrey nodded, "That sounds interesting, so what are we waiting for?" Get in touch with the Hong Kong director today! Promise him that I am willing to star in this movie! ”

"Carrey, I've told you many times, read the script first and then make a decision, have you forgotten?" Marven looked at Jim Carrey with a little headache, "Besides, they just invited you to audition, and if you're not sure, you'll be the one to play!" ”

"Oh, you're really blowing me so bad, can I read the script first?"

Jim Carrey winked at Marven, and Marven was completely speechless for his strange reaction. (To be continued......)
