Chapter 20 Word of Mouth and Others

Andy is a master of the night show and a genius of TV comedy shows, but he is rarely recognized by the audience, and the complaint calls to the program company have never stopped;

Jim Carrey, the most famous comedian of our time and the first person in the 20 million club, has never won the Oscars, even "Truman's World", even "The Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind".

Comedians never enter the stream, and exaggerated performances lack artistry, yes, this is an unspoken rule recognized in the circle.

Jim Carrey is 57 years old this year, his once universal bouncing rubber face is full of wrinkles, and he has entered the trough of his career in recent years, no longer the almighty box office golden key, no longer has amazing works, the superstars shining in the night sky are gradually dimming, his time is running out, perhaps, he will be insulated from the Academy Award for Best Actor for the rest of his life.

The deceased Andy Kaufman is played by Jim Carrey, in the future, who will play the deceased Jim Carrey?

Then on the newspaper screen of this biopic film, it was noted that "Jim Carrey, never won any Oscar in his life." β€œ

Compared with the happy hours on the screen, maybe the artistic life of comedians is tragic, but they bring smiles to the audience, to the world, to everyone who laughs in front of the screen, isn't it?

"The Man on the Moon" is not a very traditional biopic, and to put it bluntly, this movie is difficult to understand if it is not specialized in comedy!

At the end of the opening ceremony, a small half of the people chose to leave, and about two-thirds of them remained behind.

The film is over, and only a third of the way is left...

But this includes a large number of big-name actors!

……

"It's a story of struggle. Reality and dreams, mass and self. With each struggle, the hard contours were polished. He is obsessive, reckless, even paranoid, crazy, and unreasonable. He is a fire, but the colors are bright and bright, unlike any flame. He is destined to be the least conformist and cater to the masses. But he had to bend down. It's just that the heart and brain, which shine, still shine. ”

"It is said that the actor who brought laughter and happiness to the audience has never really laughed in his life, not even once."

"Jim Carrey's acting skills are scary!"

"Comedy is actually a judgment, every joke is a judgment, you have to judge it. Acting is different, acting is a kind of experience, an expression of emotions. ”

After the premiere, "Man on the Moon" was widely praised, which made the atmosphere of this year's film festival even more invigorating.

There have already been media outlets that have typed "I know Jim Carrey perfectly... But I don't know why he's not an actor yet..."Or "Actually, I don't like Jim Carrey's exaggerated drama-style performance, but he can make you admit over and over again that he's really awesome, maybe it's because this kind of movie needs this kind of actor." If I had to choose, this year's Oscar, I would vote for Jim Carrey 100%! ”

But most of the audience said they couldn't understand it, and they preferred to watch "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"...

David is a little sad, of course it's a good thing that the movie has depth, but it's not good if it's too deep, he was even thinking about whether to release it for a month and then release it directly on DVD...

Of course, this is impossible, the awards season spans three months, and if he dares to release a DVD before the end of the awards season, Jim Carrey may kill him!

……

On the third day, Xiaobai was interviewed by Fuji Xun at the hotel.

"Why make this film? I'm also a comedian, of course, I'm very interested in comedy all over the world, Andy Kaufman is a very important representative actor in the history of North American comedy, I studied his information, I think this person is very interesting, and then I wrote the script, when looking for actors, I found Jim Carrey as soon as possible, because Jim Carrey's idol is Andy! ”

"Are there any difficulties?"

β€œβ€¦ No, Jim Carrey is very cooperative, I am a screenwriter and a director, and he can listen to what I say! ”

"Of course, he must be a good actor, and I won't just find someone to work with!"

β€œβ€¦ Planned? When the film festival is over, I may start filming "Knocking on Heaven's Door" right away..."

"This time it's the American version, I'm the director, the actors are chosen, Lucas Hedges and TimothΓ©e Chalamet!"

"When will Kung Fu be released?"

"On December 13th, in fact, the post-production work is almost finished, and now the subtitles are being uploaded... After all, the movie is released worldwide, and the United States will probably not be released until December 14. ”

Xiaobai is very patient, after all, he still expects these people to send a press release, if "The Man on the Moon" can win the Oscar, it will be imported into the mainland for release, and if it can't be won, it will simply be made into a batch of films...

"The Mainland... In fact, "The Man on the Moon" is not very in line with the taste of the average mainland audience, and I don't expect him to be released in the mainland..."

Of course, I can't lose my personality: "If it can be released, of course I hope that the higher the box office, the better." ”

Those reporters had special qualities, and they wrote good articles that night and played domestically, so the headlines of Fujisun Entertainment the next day were ""The Man on the Moon" amazed Memphis and was praised as the best film of the year", or "Jim Carrey may be booked for this year's Oscar, Xiaobai may be nominated" and other headlines.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, netizens have gotten to the cool point!

Although Ang Lee won the Oscar, he is not a mainlander after all, Xiaobai won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay last year, and the people have higher requirements for him!

It's almost pushed to the point that not winning the Oscar is a failure...

However, this is the opinion of the industry, and most viewers are more concerned about when "Kung Fu" will be released...

……

Los Angeles, sunny.

Retreating from Memphis and resting for a day, the young lady dragged Xiaobai out of the hotel, she was going shopping!

It's a rare trip, she wants to buy, buy, buy...

Beverly Rodeo Avenue Mall, the most high-end shopping center in the Los Angeles area, saw two Chinese coming, and the shopping guide was very warmly welcoming.

After trying several bags, I finally chose the red style, and after checking out, the young lady looked at Xiaobai, who was scrolling Weibo, and suddenly asked: "Hey, do you think we want to buy a house here?" ”

β€œβ€¦ Do you want to be American? ”

"No, it's just a place to rest when you're on vacation!"

The young lady quickly denied it.

"Forget it, there are two American houses in the pants that were ripped out, and you don't know what they are sprayed like!"

"However, in the future, we will have a child, and I hope that he will be able to go to school in the United States..."

Xiaobai looked at the young lady a little shocked: "What are you talking about?" Child..."
