Section 159 Achievement of others

Truman's world tells the story of Truman, and the most valued performance is naturally Jim Carrey who plays Truman. The Truman he showed in the movie is very different from what he used to be. Truman is a person who has a very rich material life, but his spiritual life is insufficient, and unlike the previous Jim Carrey movies, where he only needs to show the laughing side, in this movie, Jim Carrey needs to take the happy side as a mask, and behind the mask, he also has to show his heart and emptiness. Multiple different performances can be said to greatly increase the difficulty, and Jim Carrey's ability to perform well has also surprised the media.

"Jim Carrey's performance made people realize that he was able to do something different. Even if he doesn't use the shell he's used to, he can still have a good work. ”

For a long time, people have not commented highly on Jim Carrey's acting skills. As an actor, he has performed too many purely funny scenes. always pretending to be crazy and stupid, which also limits his acting path. And this time, his breakthrough performance made a Truman who has flesh and blood, his own ideas and life truly show. He's no longer just a crazy, neurotic image code, which makes the media comment on him very differently.

Comedians all live their lives on tragic films with laughter and tears, and Jim Carrey is no exception. After Truman's world, his acting skills can be regarded as an official leap to a new level. From now on, no one can treat him as an ordinary harlequin.

"Maybe Jim Carrey will not be able to get the Oscar in his lifetime, but I have to say that he is definitely the uncrowned king of comedy performances."

The media industry has commented on Jim Carrey's performance, everyone knows that Jim Carrey has always spoken and acted more casually, and has repeatedly mocked the Oscars in public, and it is impossible for the Oscars to award awards to him, but even so, people still can't deny the excellence of his films.

And when the media praised Jim Carrey, they couldn't help but praise Levy in the same way.

Levy's point on Jim Carrey's acting skills in this movie can be said to be the key factor that makes Jim Carrey's acting skills grow greatly. Director Levy likes to work with the best actors, and he can also make the top actors easily get honors. In the first two movies, people may still suspect that this is due to the acting skills of Kevin Spacey and Winona Ryder themselves, but in this movie, Jim Carrey's acting skills can be greatly increased, which has to be said to be due to his genius. ”

The improvement of the actor's acting skills, in addition to the actor's own efforts, of course, there are other people to thank. Among them, the most important is that in addition to selecting the agent of the script for the actors, the director who orders the acting skills for the actors is naturally an important factor. The acting skills of actors largely depend on the cultivation of the director. After all, geniuses who are born to act well and know how to act are very few.

Most actors are not the kind of geniuses who can fully understand all the intentions of the director by reading the script, and can create good enough actions by themselves when they know the intentions - there are such top geniuses, but there are too few - like Marlon Brando, there are very few geniuses who can play the godfather of the aging dragon clock well before the age of fifty, at least the few so-called geniuses that Levy knows, whether it is Pete, Depp or Donnie, when they are fifty years old, they can only play handsome and cool in the movie, It can't go any further - top geniuses aren't so easy to find, not that there are any.

And if you can communicate more with the director, so that the director can explain the meaning of the movie thoroughly and clearly, you can naturally perform better. And communicate with the director about your actions and know what to do with your actions is the best, so that you can have good expressiveness in the movie without destroying the overall composition of the movie, which can also make the movie better. The filming of the movie is a reflection of the director's intention, and as an actor under the director's story structure, being able to obey the control will naturally improve his acting skills.

Levy never thought that comedians were poor in performance: the acting skills of the actors, after all, still had to be honed by the director's requirements. It is said that comedians can't act in dramas, but when it comes to it, the actor Leung in Hong Kong, who is respected by so many people, is not from a drama like Lu Ding Ji, a peerless Shuangjiao, who was sharpened by Wong Kar-wai for his acting skills?

Many times, a word from the director can change the actor's acting skills: in my memory, the Hong Kong Liu Tianwang, when playing Johnny To's play, was reprimanded by Johnny To in person: 'Can't you take your hands out of your pockets?' Such words seem harsh, but they break Liu Tianwang's consistent image very well, and successfully make his acting skills to the next level - Liu Tianwang has been acting all his life, but he only won an actor under To Qifeng, that is, because of the director's level.

A good director will always sharpen the actors.

Jim Carrey is the same, his acting skills have to be sharpened, if this movie has the idea of letting him act in a satirical drama, then the effect will definitely be exaggerated, but let him act in a drama and be strict with him, that's another matter. Levy's request has made Jim Carrey progress now, which is also clear to the media.

"Levy is used to being strict with the actors in the film and letting each actor perform according to his own intentions. The quality of the movie is inseparable from his requirements. In this movie, whether it is Jim Carrey, or Eddard. Harris, all played at a very good level. Even Mark as a supporting role. Wahlberg and others also performed very well, and such a high level has to be said to be the credit of Levy. There is no doubt that he is the best actor in Hollywood to achieve other people's acting skills. ”

Indeed, all the actors in this movie can be said to perform very well. The first time they watched this movie, people couldn't see anything, but the second time they watched it, people saw the clues: the actors need not to leak flaws in front of Truman, and they need to show doubts in front of the audience: they are carrying out two kinds of performances at the same time, those advertisements need to be seen through by the audience, not by Truman, those intimacy, need to be hypocritical, but they need to make Truman feel cordial, those lines, obviously intentional but want to make Truman feel unintentional - these performances are not easy.

It's not easy for the actors to perform this play well, if you want to perform these well, every move, every action, every shot, you have to think about it repeatedly. And being able to shoot all of this well, arrange everyone's movements, actions, lines, and these things, this is the embodiment of the director's skills.

The details see success or failure, and the smaller the place, the more it can reflect the director's level. Levy has always paid attention to every detail, which is one of the reasons for his success.

"Of course it's good for me to be said in the media. However, it is indeed not easy for the actors, "Levy is also very clear about the hard work of the actors, and he also brought up this issue when talking to Alexander, "The movie is also released now, and if the box office can, let's look at giving the actors some bonuses." ”

Levy has never been stingy about giving more bonuses to actors: under the current Hollywood system, most of the actors and companies are one-time cooperation, especially for a company like Levy, which is not particularly large. Give more money this time, and it will be convenient to find someone to act next time, and have a good reputation before you can do business, and this kind of money will not be spent at a loss - anyway, the bonus will not be much.

"The only thing that's a little regrettable is that Naomi doesn't seem to have a lot of evaluations...... "Flipping through the media discussions, this is the only thing that makes Levy not very happy.

Naomi. Watts's acting skills can be said to be excellent in the movie, but after all, this is only her first work in front of the public, and several male stars in the movie are either popular superstars or golden supporting actors, and any one of them is more famous than her. Therefore, although her performance is very good, she does not receive much attention. Everyone likes to pay attention to big names, and few people pay attention to people who are not famous.

Even commercial brands outside of the reviews have a pitiful income. Naomi herself is already a 30-year-old actor, as a beauty, this age is too old, and she herself does not have the charm of a mature woman, therefore, her age and image are a little embarrassing, and this embarrassment makes her not receive any suitable advertising contract.

Obviously, if she wants to go further in her career, she has to have new good works. Until then, she can only continue to act in less important plays. This situation also made Levy a little depressed: Naomi deserved more praise.

"It's gold that always shines, her acting skills are very good, there is no doubt about this, she will have a chance in the future."

Clark understood Levy's sigh perfectly. Others don't know the end, but he is Levy's assistant director, and he has always watched Naomi's play. Even the current performance is the same: now she has a pretty good cameo at CSI. In the TV series, her role as a murderer is also quite well received, and the writers of CSI have been reluctant to write this popular murderer to death.

This kind of performance surprised Clark: many actors can only play one kind of play well, and they can't play the second kind well. Especially women, some are only suitable for comedy, some are only suitable for literary films, and some can only pretend to be intellectuals. It is very difficult for an actress to be able to play a variety of different roles, and her wife can play it well, and she can also play the pervert, this is a good actor.

It is for this reason that, like Levy, he firmly believes that she will succeed.

"Actually, if you can, wouldn't it be over by arranging a role for her in the X-Men?" In this regard, Clark has his own opinion, "Anyway, the X-Men are produced by you, and no one else can object to whoever you say to use." ”

Levy could only smile at this, "Let her play the X-Men or forget it, if her salary is high in the future, how can I make a sequel?" Don't forget, I'm going to make a lot of this movie - the work of a producer, but you can't do it nonsense. ”rs
