Chapter 189 Oscar's Dream
Chapter 189 Oscar’s Dream
Zhou Shaoming couldn't help but sit up slightly. Statham broke through his own limitations and dug deeper into the character. Under the conditions that met his basic requirements, he perfectly performed a character who cares about his lover but is powerless!
This short sentence makes this character fuller, as if a dull puppet has a boiling soul!
"What should I do? What should I do? Should I kill you, you bastard!" Statham growled, quickly waking up from the pain and decadence, staring at Jon in front of him fiercely, and clenched his fist tightly.
His fists were trembling a little.
Standing up, Statham slowly walked towards Jon step by step, leaned down, and whispered in his ear softly and coldly: "Don't let me see you again in the future!"
Then he turned around and strode away without a trace of nostalgia.
"Very good, very good performance!" Zhou Shaoming applauded in surprise. Although Statham's performance still had some details that were not in place, for him, whose acting skills were only 75 points, the performance just now was already a breakthrough.
The character also has his own set of ideas, and overall he is a good actor!
"Thank you!" Statham turned around, smiled sheepishly, and then ran over to shake hands with Jon: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Jon."
Jon smiled understandingly: "It's okay, it's okay, you performed very well, I was really scared just now, haha!"
What are you waiting for? It’s him!
With good acting skills, beautiful muscles, good at thinking and understanding, plus a bald forehead and a shabby face, this is a trapped beast who is struggling under the pressure of life and is imprisoned under the high wall of economic pressure. He is extremely helpless.
, the bloody boxing ring, this character who looks decadent and full of loser vibes, but fights to the death for his family, Statham is extremely suitable in appearance!
He can play the role of Brayden well without being overshadowed by Jeremy Renner's superb acting skills as the stubborn and vengeful Tommy!
Zhou Shaoming also stood up and shook hands with Statham vigorously: "Mr. Statham, welcome to the crew of "Warrior"!"
The protagonist was in place, and Zhou Shaoming was in a happy mood. He was cheerful all day long. But the day after he found Jason, Jim Carrey called and wanted to ask Zhou Shaoming to have dinner together and talk about the topic that hadn't ended last time.
The reason why Zhou Shaoming was left in suspense last time was because he had already begun to think about his film career. It was impossible to expect too much from Frank. The hypocritical and cold expression under the laughter when they met several times was revealed by his keenness.
I felt that Zhou Shaoming couldn't stand it anymore, and his idea of setting up his own film company without being restricted by anyone became stronger and stronger.
Without Lionsgate, there would be other film companies, such as DreamWorks, Universal Fox, etc., but even if you join them, there is no guarantee that similar things will not happen in the future.
Therefore, Zhou Shaoming has already begun to prepare himself for an appointment with Jim Carrey. Although it is difficult to find a suitable role for him in "Warrior", the necessary contacts and relationships must be laid.
The thybar bar is located on the top floor of the rianh space. The outdoor space has an excellent view and the 1940s f makes people feel like they are in an old movie. Behind the huge and transparent glass curtain wall, you can enjoy the wonderful night view of la.
"Sir, do you have a reservation?" The neatly dressed and energetic waiter politely asked Zhou Shaoming who wanted to walk into the bar.
"What? You need to make an appointment to get in?" Zhou Shaoming, who was full of worries, raised his head and asked doubtfully when he heard someone asking him.
"Yes, sir, we require reservations here." The waiter said calmly.
Ah, it looks like this bar is quite high-end. When Zhou Shaoming was thinking about what reasons he could use to get in, a voice suddenly sounded next to him.
"Aha, I'm a real-life director, I was afraid you wouldn't come."
Turning around, Zhou Shaoming smiled and reached out to shake his hand.
The visitor was wearing a plaid shirt and a playful smile on his face. It turned out to be Jim Carrey who invited him here!
Now he no longer has the restraint he felt during the interview, and he looks much more normal when he is himself. This is the King of Comedy!
"You invited me, why wouldn't I come? Besides, even if you didn't invite me, I would still invite you." Zhou Shaoming responded with a smile.
"Haha, let's go in. Reservations are required here. Next time you want to come here, just let me know. I will definitely accompany you!" Jim Carrey said a few words to the waiter and then walked into the bar with Zhou Shaoming.
Before coming here, to be honest, Zhou Shaoming didn't really want Jim Carrey to star in his "Warrior". The key is that he is the brightest star in the American comedy industry, and people's thinking has classified him into the category of only comedy.
Although Jim Carrey tried his best to get rid of the title of comedy king and made two transformational films in succession, the Hollywood Oscars did not buy it.
Zhou Shaoming also encouraged Jim Carrey to stick to the path of transformation at the award ceremony, but now that it is really in front of him, he is still hesitant.
Not to mention that during the interview, his performance was very average.
Besides, the two protagonists have already been confirmed, and there is no room for Jim Carrey. Mr. Mr. Twenty Million Dollar Club will not play a dispensable supporting role in his movie, right?
But looking at Jim Carrey's eyes, Zhou Shaoming knew that he had not given up and still wanted to star in his own movie.
Zhou Shaoming was a little worried. He didn't want to turn a passionate sports inspirational film full of brotherhood into a comedy film with exaggerated body language and disguised geeks.
During the interview, Zhou Shaoming noticed that Jim Carrey had many comedic performance modes hidden in the depths that even he himself did not know. They were brought to him by more than 20 years of comedy performances and were unspoken.
A small gesture that cannot be forgotten.
This will bring a lot of trouble to your movie!
However, let's talk first. Zhou Shaoming followed Jim Carrey in with the intention of casually chatting and getting closer.
"What's wrong? You seem to have something on your mind?" Jim Carrey asked Zhou Shaoming to sit on the sofa by the window. Seeing that he was silent and his face was cloudy, Jim Carrey couldn't help asking curiously.
"Oh, it's okay, I just can't remember if I closed the door to my house!" Zhou Shaoming came to his senses and said haha.
"Haha, this happens all the time! I usually can't remember whether my refrigerator is closed or not. I got up three times last night!" Jim Carrey kept smiling, and after a few words, Zhou Shaoming also laughed.
Got up.
"Farewell Oscar, we haven't seen each other for several months, right? If you want something to drink, I'll treat you to this meal." Jim Carrey snapped his fingers, and a waiter appeared out of nowhere with a menu and greeted him.
Stand aside respectfully.
"Tequila, Ro Shaoming casually ordered some wine.
"Hey, the phenomenon-level director is indeed following the trend. This wine is good and it is also my favorite. Man, give me a drink too, a double portion!" Jim Carrey threw himself comfortably on the sofa and licked it
Licking lips.
"Yes, sir." The waiter agreed and then left silently.
Zhou Shaoming looked around. It was still early and there were not many customers, but the decoration of the bar surprised him even though he was well-informed.
The dim but appropriate lighting, the simple yet elegant layout, not to mention the extremely luxurious sofas, behind the huge floor-to-ceiling glass, is the brilliant scene of Los Angeles lights.
And when you look down at the endless flow of roads from a height of hundreds of meters, you will naturally realize your unique identity, the feeling of pride and superiority, which makes people want to stop.
As he sipped the wine and let the passion flow down his throat, Jim Carrey suddenly fell silent. He just held the wine glass in his hand and played with it. There was no trace of the comedy king at all. His eyes were very sad, like a fallen person.
A helpless child.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Shaoming asked with some confusion.
"Since the last Oscar farewell, we haven't seen each other for several months. I followed your advice, but sadly found that if I don't make comedies, no one will come to me to film anymore." Jim Carrey didn't know.
Is it sad or self-deprecating?
"Don't worry, maybe the time has not come yet." Zhou Shaoming could only console him.
"Actually, I don't know why I found you, and I don't even know how I could somehow put down my dignity and come to you for an interview like an unknown little actor eager to get a chance to perform. After all, you and I just met each other.
.But, but I think, I'm thinking, you, a Hollywood phenomenon-level director who has successfully brought so many unknown actors to the right path, maybe you can help me?" Jim Carrey suddenly raised his head, with a look in his eyes.
A light of unwillingness shines: "I don't want to wait like this anymore, I've had enough."
"Are you saying that you still want to participate in my movie? To pursue the Oscar dream?" Zhou Shaoming confirmed his guess and stared at his face seriously.
"Oscar's dream?" Jim Carrey suddenly became confused, looking out the window at the brightly lit streets with a very forlorn expression.
Zhou Shaoming didn't say anything, he just sat opposite Jim Carrey, raised his glass in a toast from afar.
Jim Carrey also raised his glass, retorted, and drank it hard, like a fire rising in his chest. He choked and coughed repeatedly, his face turned red, and the tequila wine stains slowly streaked from his clothes.
The fall made this idol in the eyes of everyone and the king of comedy respected by thousands of people look extremely decadent.
After a long silence, Jim Carrey hid his smile. Now he is sitting in a high-end bar with bright lights and feasting, but he seems to be sitting in a dead desert with no one. The loneliness and loss that are different from ordinary people are fully displayed. (
