Levy asked about Jim Carrey at the Emmy Awards, and although Leslie kept the news so well that almost no one knew about it, Jim Carrey, who was the object of Levy's invitation, quickly learned about it.

When Nick. Stevenson, the agent at the UTA brokerage company who specializes in contacting Jim Carrey, heard the news from CBS, and he only did a little verification and rushed directly to Jim Carrey's residence.

"Kim, are you home?" Walking through the door of Jim Carrey's house, Stevenson thanked the nanny who opened the door, and then walked in with ease. He knew very well where Jim Carrey liked to stay when he wasn't working, and he knew where to find him at this time.

Sure enough, when he walked into the game room, he saw Jim Carrey. Jim Carrey was squatting on the sofa at home, on the TV screen, professional wrestling was playing, Jim Carrey was staring at the screen with two eyes, wrestling gloves in his hands, and his body was still swaying with the wrestling of the people in the TV, although there was a voice behind him, he didn't want to turn his head at all.

Stevenson looked at the star in front of him and felt that his head was two big.

For Jim Carrey's virtue, his agent has long been aware. Nick. Stevenson has been his agent for more than seven years, and he is well aware of Jim Carrey's temper. Although this guy has a salary of more than 20 million, has been married twice, and his children are already 10 years old, many times, his temper is still that of an old child. Fun. loves jokes and likes Hu Lai, his life has always been different from that of normal stars.

Count on him like a normal star. It's impossible to participate in talk shows, participate in some charity activities, even if you go to some parties to find women. This guy's life is completely immersed in his own world.

Jim Carrey grew up in a comedy family: his father was a comedian, and he took that path again, and for others, maybe comedy is always an effect. For him, it's more or less integrated into life.

However, it is precisely because of this. He's the best comedian.

"Kim, be serious, there's a movie, I need to discuss it with you." Stevenson shouted at Jim Carrey behind his back.

"It's good that you decide. I trust all your decisions. You know I love you. Jim Carrey replied to him without looking back.

No wonder your wife divorced you, are you usually so perfunctory to your wife? Stevenson complained in a malicious way.

"Kim, we still need to have a good talk. It's not like you want to go to Manchester Comedy Store with just one sock on your body, or you want to wear Bigfoot's prop shoes to the awards gala, you can do whatever you want, and if you're a comedy star, it's not a big deal if you're bold, but it's a movie. A very formal film that has a big impact on your future. It's better for you to be serious - please don't watch wrestling anymore, okay? Someone complained to me last time that when you were filming a movie, you played the bed scene like a wrestling! What is there to see about these things! ”

Stevenson still couldn't help but get angry, and his words made Jim Carrey turn off the TV a little frustrated, "Okay, okay, be serious...... How much serious work have I done this year? Can't you give me some time to have some fun on my own? ”

That's right: Jim Carrey has had a very fulfilling year. He starred in the movie With You All the Way, then he participated in the production of the TV show CelebrityProfile, and then, he also produced E, of course, if you count the fact that he also ran to EltonJohn's concert to mess around, it was even busier, and it was only September, and he already felt like he had done a lot of work. Now that another script has found him, he is also a little tired.

As an actor with 20 million yuan in a movie, is it necessary for him to fight so hard?

"Kim, I know you've worked hard this year, but this movie is different from others." Nick. Stevenson knew how to tease the child, he was no longer in a hurry, but changed to another tone, his pretended mysterious tone, which made Jim Carrey turn his head, "The director of this movie is Nicholas. Levy! He wants you to play his new play by name! ”

"Nicholas. Levy? Isn't it remarkable? Jim Carrey opened his mouth with a calm expression.

is not the same as his agent's enthusiastic look, and now Jim Carrey, even if he hears that Spielberg is looking for him to make a movie, there is no need to be moved. As a top Hollywood star with a salary of more than 20 million, he is qualified for this.

"Haven't you heard of Levy? Eavesdropping storm? And Angel Amelie, which is still in theaters recently? Don't tell you you haven't watched this movie, it's the most popular romantic comedy in recent times! ”

"Yes, romantic comedies, best for divorced people to watch alone." Jim Carrey pouted.

"That's actually the words of a guy in his thirties who still loves to watch wrestling......" Stevenson retorted not to be outdone, "You should watch his movies, he was nominated for an Oscar last year, and this year, if nothing else, he will be nominated - he is not yet thirty years old, and he has already been nominated for two Oscars, Kim, this is a talented director." ”

"Do Oscar's idiots know what genius is? They know what comedy is? Are you kidding me? If they really understand, they will send the little golden figure to my house instead. Jim Carrey muttered.

"So you can scold them again?" Stevenson asked rhetorically.

Stevenson could hear Jim Carrey's displeasure with Levy, and he knew that he was angry because Levi was popular with Oscar. But he doesn't plan to care: Jim Carrey and Oscar belong to a typical example of looking at each other, Oscar doesn't look down on his acting skills, he always complains about the Oscars in public, and even says bad things about the Oscars when he participates in the Golden Globes, almost every two of them are already incomprehensible, and Jim Carrey's achievements in comedy also make him qualified to complain.

It's not a good idea to talk to a director who has been nominated for an Oscar. Jim Carrey doesn't think Oscar understands comedy, and he naturally won't look down on Oscar.

Stevenson didn't want to persuade him, "Even if the Oscars are rubbish, at least the audience still recognizes his films." ”

He knew what Jim Carrey was focused on.

"Audience approval?" Jim Carrey did have some reaction to this, and Stevenson said this to mean the same thing, "How did his movie box office?" ”

"Angel Amelie has been in theaters for more than four weeks now." Stevenson opened his mouth and said, he knew what Jim Carrey would care about, and he also inquired, "The box office has exceeded 110 million now!" ”

This number made Jim Carrey's reserve disappear just now, and his mouth opened a little exaggeratedly. Stevenson knows that when he's embarrassed, he always likes to hide it with such a funny twist.

"Eleven million? Around? In this way, won't the box office of this movie catch up with Saving Private Ryan? Two such high-grossing romantic comedies have already been born this year, right? It's unimaginable. ”

Jim Carrey's surprise is justified: he knows very well how much comedy movies have at the box office, as a top actor, he has starred in many good movies, but even if she is the highest-grossing king of the movies she starred in, the North American box office is only 180 million, and his more well-known movies in disguise Strange Jie and Detective Plane Head, the North American box office is only more than 100 million. , a director who is not very familiar with himself, has filmed movies that have exceeded the box office of his classics, which made Jim Carrey also a little moved, he put away his hanging appearance and became a little serious.

He doesn't pay attention to the awards, but he values the audience very much. He is a man who likes to joke, but he knows respect for those who are capable.

"Tell me about his films."

"This film is a screenplay by Andrew Nichol, with Levy as the director. Andrew Nichol is a genius, have you seen his chances? Very good movie. And Levy is also a genius, and his films are also very good, with their script and direction, plus your genius acting skills......"

"Do you have a second word in your arsenal besides genius?" Jim Carrey interrupted him, "Tell me what the play is." ”

"The name of the movie is called Truman's World, and this story tells the story of a man who has been the subject of a reality TV since childhood. This man has been photographed since he was a child, but he himself does not know it. Finally, one day, he began to know that everything around him revolved around him, and this discovery changed his life completely......"

As Stevenson tells the story of the movie, Jim Carrey begins to show a hint of interest. A person who has lived in front of the camera all his life suddenly discovers that his life is fake? From this sentence, Jim Carrey has sniffed out the absurd comedy in it, and the tragic feelings hidden behind it - this is the natural sense of smell that belongs to comedians.

"What does the film want to reflect? An indictment against the arranger behind it? ”

"No, I asked, Mr. Levy said, the arranger behind it is a metaphor for fate and daily life, and fate does not need to be accused. The main thing he wanted to shoot was the psychological changes of the protagonist. ”

Is that character-oriented, not story-based? In this way, he is the absolute protagonist?

"You just said that the director said that he thinks that this play is the only one I can play?" Jim Carrey asked.

"Yes, that's what he said."

This statement made Jim Carrey laugh, "Reach out to him - now, I'm a little interested." (To be continued......)

PS: Wearing only socks and prop shoes to participate in the event is what Jim Carrey has done. It is also true to complain that his bed scene is like a wrestling, but it was Pete who complained during the filming of the fake god, when Pete was the husband of the heroine Aniston. u
