That's right, except for Jim Carrey, Xiaobai can't think of any actor who can play Andy...

The eternal tragedy of comedians' performances is that they desperately want to be loved by the audience, but the audience cannot give love, which can give laughter.

Laughter is the farthest act from understanding, a common passion, and when we laugh, we don't exist ourselves, and comedians are destined to get no response to their love in the emptiness.

Andy. Kaufman is a man with multiple personalities that are so conflicting and so intense that they can't coexist!

Acting is a scary profession and not alarmist.

Imagine the absurdity of wanting to temporarily detach a person from his habitual surroundings and enter the life scene of another complete stranger and ask him to behave as he is.

Completely ignoring the adhesion of the human mind to the surrounding environment.

Of course, theatre is a complex cultural and psychological phenomenon that cannot be explained in a few words.

But it is certain that acting, as Kaufman's profession, also happens to give him an opportunity to stretch his various personalities, so that he can fully express his multiple personalities.

At the same time, since acting is his job, he does not have to face the pain of his various personality conflicts in his daily life, but can take the opportunity of acting to release it as a matter of course, which is both relieved and at ease.

Therefore, the best actors often end up living themselves as neurotics, or simply living to understand...

It's good to live well, there will be a good death, and it's very sad to live a neurotic life...

Which is harder comedy or tragedy?

Of course comedy is harder!

Some parts of the comedy are like moves made against Saint Seiya, and the second time they don't work.

And the same life and death parting in the tragedy, even if it is staged many times, it can still be touching.

As a result, the creators of comedy have to run out of their brains and come up with new tricks.

To put it bluntly, it's hard to make one laugh, but it's easy to make one cry.

If we go back to the roots, it all stems from human nature, from the great fear of death and disaster buried in the depths of the human heart.

Joy is always short-lived, but pain can last forever.

Joy is like a fishing fire on the inky black ocean under the night sky, and a great wave can gently wipe them away. But when you see someone else dying, you can't help but think of yourself.

In this sense, comedians are like a group of chased, they have to race against themselves, they can't repeat themselves, and they are exhausted because of it.

This is one of their tragedies.

And the disparagement of their acting skills by orthodox comments is the second tragedy for them.

Traditional critics have always treated theatricians as a bunch of people who only frown and play tricks, no matter what their efforts!

……

Xiaobai likes to chat with Jim Carrey.

In the country, few people can keep up with his rhythm.

At a Chinese restaurant in New York, Xiaobai continued to talk to Jim Carrey about tragedy and comedy.

Jim Carrey said: "I personally like tragedy, tragedy is the focus of aesthetic research, tragedy has always been more profound than comedy, Aristotle believes that tragedy is art in art, Schopenhauer also believes that tragedy is the highest peak of art, tragedy has always been a difficult point in aesthetic research, tragedy has been produced since the beginning of Greek mythology and has been brought to the philosophical color, Oedipus King killed his father and married his mother is that he wants to get rid of the tragedy of fate that he can't get rid of after all." ”

Xiaobai shook his head: "But I still like comedy!" To compare the times, now is the era of peace, comedy has become an increasingly popular aesthetic form, and people yearn for a relaxed and happy life. ”

"The most important thing is that comedy can get a high box office!"

And he added!

“… However, you can't deny that most of the dramas that have survived to this day and are still recognized as classics are tragedies. ”

Jim Carrey put down the knife and fork and said seriously: "For example, Shakespeare's four great tragedies." ”

“… Mutilation is a special kind of beauty, which makes people think and make people reminisce. ”

Xiaobai also nodded.

If you look at pure drama, tragedy is indeed more influential than comedy!

However, comedy is even harder!

And the audience doesn't like comedians to act in dramas, for example, "Warm and Warm with Light" and "With You All the Way" are all works of Jim Carrey, but unfortunately, the box office is far less than "Fake God"...

The topic returned to Andy Kaufman, the protagonist of "The Man on the Moon", and Jim Carrey couldn't help but sigh: "Andy is a genius!" ”

“… Right! ”

Xiaobai deeply agrees!

Comedians are usually clowns who entertain their audience by betraying their antics or their own misery.

But that's not the case with Andy!

He thinks that the audience who watches comedy is the complete clown, they laugh according to the actors' arrangement, go exactly according to the pace of the actors, and they are very happy to be played.

Andy is a crazy guy, he's a guy who can't tell the difference between acting and real.

He performs, and everyone thinks it's true, but he tells the truth, but it's considered to be performing.

"When are you going to make this movie?"

“… Aren't you filming "Just Kidding"? At least until next June, I won't be launching Man on the Moon."

"Okay, I'll try to adjust my condition!"

"Well, it's expected to take two months to shoot and hit next year's awards season!"

“OK！”

Jim Carrey nodded, he also needed time to deal with the lawsuit...

"By the way, I heard you're going to work with Leonardo?"

“… It's just a verbal agreement, and it's hard for him to get it! ”

Xiaobai has a little headache!

Leonardo is much more difficult to handle than Jim Carrey!

Not only does this thing have to star, but he also has full authority to participate in "One Flew Over the Asylum" - as a producer.

In other words, if he wants to kick Xiaobai away, it's just a matter of one sentence!

Paralyzing...

“… Good luck! ”

Jim Carrey smiled noncommittally and raised his coffee cup...

……

David told Xiaobai about the bottom line of Xiao Lizi!

He has to take 40% of the investment, and the salary has to be calculated separately!

This one who stepped on a horse!

The salary must be at least '2+2', which is $20 million plus 20% of the global box office dividends!

Coupled with 40% of the investment dividends, damn it, this also means that if the project takes shape, most of the future income will fall into Xiao Lizi's pocket, if he is lucky, it is not impossible to get an OSK Best Actor nomination, which can be described as fame and fortune.

Xiaobai sighed: "What a successful businessman!" ”

"So, what do you think?"

"What can I think? My director's salary is only five million dollars! ”

Rolling his eyes, Xiaobai said: "If Lionsgate doesn't have the will, you can consider other actors." ”

“… You don't want to work with Little Lizi? As far as I know, he has a big market in China! ”

"Then what movie do you want to watch, it's really not good, you can find Robert Downey Jr., it just so happens that he is going to end "Iron Man", and the salary may be lower!"
