Chapter 1581 Life should be a comedy, but its ending often ends in tragedy (Part 2)

PS: Please give me a monthly ticket!

Jim Carrey's own surprise was no less than others' surprise when she heard Wu Xiaozu ask him for dinner, and even more incredible than Luke Besson, Zhang Jiazhen and others.

Who is that? Who is that?

John Woo!

Recently, one of the most popular directors in the Hollywood circle has been praised by many entertainment tabloids as a handsome Asian money printing machine.

The industry's upstarts who have continuously created reputations in North America and have both box office successes!

Let's say so.

Wu Xiaozu conquered the audiences of Hollywood and Ameriken with two works. A "Pulp Novel" directly allowed Wu Xiaozu to gain enough fame and status in the North American circle, and made him jump out of the American independent film.

screen.

A movie with a box office of over 100 million and full of explosive effects directly proved his money-making ability and set a new benchmark in Hollywood's action field.

Not to mention other movies...

The name ‘John’ is already a golden sign in the independent film industry and in the hearts of many movie fans.

So many independent filmmakers joked that if they met John, they would be like Soderbergh, Quentin, Robert and others. To go from being poor to having a lot of money! From having nothing to having a lot of money.'

In a popular translation, it is 'from being poor to getting rich'

In addition to the reputation of promoting newcomers gradually fermenting, Wu Xiaozu's movies actually performed quite 'explosive' in the video tape sales and rental market.

For dozens of consecutive weeks, many works ranked in the top 100.

This is really very famous.

Being able to bring income continuously and with huge profits through the video tapes of these movies is not only something that many foreign directors dare not imagine, but even their own people in Hollywood are also the treatment and ability of front-line directors.

Even the returns of these videotapes are enough to allow Let the bullet fly, a "money-lossing" company, to maintain operations, and to use large amounts of funds every year to introduce, publish, invest in multiple Asian films and operate them in the North American market...

It can be seen that John can make money!

This time I understand why Wu Yusen relies on John's name to not give up? This is called a forceful battle. It is true that he can play with the "authentic signature" even more clearly than Wang Tao.

Facts have proved that the name of Wu Xiaozu's electric pile driver is definitely not a false name - they have real materials, and a time management master named Luo from later generations was sprinkled with water.

Director Wu not only continuously outputs, ensures quality and quantity, but also squeezes out extra energy~~~

Now his own director fee for a single movie in Hollywood is more than 5 million yuan, which is higher than that of many first-tier actors. After all, even for the first-tier actors, they are divided into different levels.

And this is the previous price, not counting the box office dividends of the movie results. In "Brave the Deadly Island", Wu Xiaozu personally converted the return to more than 1,000 million US dollars, and according to the current results of the video tape rental market,

It can also bring in hundreds of thousands of US dollars in revenue every year.

As for the "Source Code" that just finished filming and "Trueman's World" that were immediately launched, they only won "2.5 million US dollars" and "4.5 million US dollars" respectively, because part of the pay was converted to investment and enjoyment.

Box office dividends.

Overall, even such an internal price is more than 7 million US dollars. Is it worthless to be Director Wu good at dancing in Hollywood?

So, for Jim Carrey, who has not really made a stunning success at this moment, he wouldn't say it's unattainable, at least he is also a high-ranking person.

Let's describe it like this - the other party wants to eat fruit plates in Hollywood now, and can change the patterns every day and be fresh and free... All kinds of teas can be sampled in different ways, what kind of white tea and black tea are tasted together, green tea and black tea are crossed, ice black tea

Added with honey tea...

Just tea!

Where is him?

It's just a little comedy star who comes from the dead runner... If you look at his experience, he and Zhou Xingxing are indeed very clever.

Because of the copyright issue of "Detective's Aircraft Head", he did not appear in this drama, so... his status and price are lower than the original history. At this time, Warner Bros. Film Company is discussing this with Hong Kong Island Locomotive Entertainment.

Adaptation rights for a movie.

Moreover, comedy stars do not have the highest status in this era as in later generations.

Not to mention that the offline performance ticket price of a comedy star is even higher than that of a singer...

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

but,

Life is precisely that sometimes it will complete every wonderful collision and lingering, and sometimes, the heat of 40℃ cannot cover the cold of 0℃...

Central Perk Cafe.

"Thanks."

Wang Zuxian, who was as fair and tall as a big Aries, sat on the chair with long legs folded, his feet trembled, and his hands shook a coffee spoon to stir the sugar cube evenly and slowly blended into the bitter coffee.

He gently lifted his long hair, looked curiously at the two people sitting on the bench outside the door through the glass.

Pululu—

As a handful of corn kernels were spread, countless fat pigeons were rushing for food.

On the Central Park bench with paint peeling off, Wu Xiaozu took a big bite with an inconspicuous burger in his hand, swallowed it whole, and looked at the slightly restrained man beside him with a smile.

"Don't mind if you only invite you to a cheeseburger for the first time when we meet?"

"He's much better than at least NBC's lunch."

Jim Carrey smiled humorously and took a bite, and looked at the popular director beside him curiously.

"What's more, you can still have lunch while watching the scenery, which is better than smelling the staff's sweat."

"Hahaha..." Wu Xiaozu smiled and got the NBC lunch smack mentioned by the other party.

After all, he has also been on the show and knows that the other party’s meals are really hard to describe.

Let me put it this way... In order to save money, the capitalists hired a bad British chef.

"I just think it might seem magnificent to put the talks in a restaurant that looks gorgeous, but it doesn't make us more realistic when we communicate in person like this. Man, I'm definitely not because I'm stingy..." Wu Xiaozu also joked.

"Of course, you have at least prepared a good ice American style." Jim Carrey took a serious sip.

Wu Xiaozu shrugged.

"To be honest, when I received the invitation, I thought it was April Fool's Day, but I didn't expect it to be true. I really want to call my family and tell them: 'Hey, do you know who treats me to lunch at noon

Well?'To be honest, I was a little flattered. After all, we..." Jim Carrey put down the burger, looked at Wu Xiaozu, and gestured a 'gap' gesture.

"I don't know how to behave differently. I only have two judgments: 1. An actor who can act, 2. An actor who can't act. In my eyes, you are 1."

Wu Xiaozu chewed the sour cucumber and continued, "I have read your works and I like them very much. I am surprised by your ability to shape characters. That's right, don't be surprised by your man..."

"No, no, no, I'm just shocked that a big director like you would admit that he likes the comedy films I've been in. Few successful people would confess so much. At least they would say it was "Citizen Kane" or Chaplin or something like that.

of…"

"Of course I like it too, but those movies that don't prevent me from liking you." Wu Xiaozu understood Jim Carrey's idea, "Is the biggest core of comedy not happy? Each genre will always have different emotional values. The emotional value provided by comedy

Of course it is worthy of recognition."

"So, director, you want to invite me to act in a comedy?" Jim Carrey asked tentatively.

“Not exactly.”

Wu Xiaozu answered "of course" and emphasized again, then wiped his hands with a tissue, "I watched your performance, so in my heart, your performance is more flexible than you show, or, when I prepare

When I was in the new drama, I happened to find that you were very suitable for the characters in my drama.”

When he said this, Jim Carrey could be seen with the naked eye showing an excited expression.

"However, this character is different from any character you have portrayed before. Shakespeare gave comedy and tragedy differently, but there is also a view that 'the core of great comedy is often tragedy'."

This sentence is definitely correct.

Teacher Chen’s summary is indeed in place.

When we see some comedy scenes, they are often funny due to the gap between a certain person or a certain behavior. In the eyes of the audience, they naturally have a comedy effect, but for the protagonist... it goes without saying.

For example, 'Is it Jiang Long who graduated from the Performance Academy? Is it Jiang Long who has won the three good students? Is it Jiang Long who doesn't like to wash his feet?' This is a very typical example.

Of course, the same thing is true. The core of comedy is that tragedy should not be imposed on the audience, so it has no meaning.

You can’t be funny, so don’t be busy adding value to funny!

"The core of great comedy is often tragedy." Jim Carrey read this sentence, and his flattering expression slowly stagnated, and gradually became serious and serious. The connotation of this sentence touched him. With such an incisive interpretation, he really realized it.

Cheerful.

He felt...

He met a famous teacher!!!

As the saying goes, "I came to Central Park to come to know today that I am me."

He, Jim Carrey, is going to realize it!

Looking at Jim Carrey with a slight sign of epilepsy, Wu Xiaozu, who was just about to use the three successful powers of "Five Years Simulation of Three Years of College Entrance Examination" in the Famous Teachers' Lecture Hall, instantly received his magical powers.

When casting spells, Jim Carrey is about to mutate.

Don't be depressed early.

"So what I'm filming is a comedy, but in fact, it may not be so happy for the protagonist in essence. So I hope you can adjust your condition and be better off making yourself 'that character' in advance, if you want to

...This may be different from the comedy you act in, and it requires you to invest more of your mind...so... the choice is up to you."

"Director, I want to act." Jim Carrey probably hasn't watched "Slam Dunk", but his expression is exactly the same at this moment.

“Payment…”

"The pay is not important..." Jim Carrey hurriedly confirmed, "Can I read the script in advance?"

"Of course, this is yours." Wu Xiaozu looked at Jim Carrey with satisfaction, who did not ask for additional money, and the more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

The whole family is starting to recover...
Chapter completed!
