Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?
Chapter 690 But you are interested too, aren’t you?
Of course, James Carrey is definitely not the only one.
This time, he plans to do something big and invite all the comedy kings and queens who are still alive to come out and join his filming plan.
I don’t know if it’s a coincidence or if comedians are just a little bit paranoid and pure, but nowadays, none of the comedy masters support the Celestial Dragons.
Some have never publicly announced who they support, but many more have spoken out and openly supported the opposing side.
Among them was James Carrey.
Otherwise, even if the other party is his mentor, Xia Yuan will never set his sights on the other party. Some issues are matters of principle.
And James Carrey's residence happened to be in Los Santos, near the wealthy area not far from their company.
So Xia Yuan found the other party directly.
As soon as he entered the other party's villa, James Carrey walked to the living room with two cups of hot coffee and said, "Sit down, sit down, don't be polite. You treat this place as your own. How come you suddenly have the time to come to my teacher's place? You didn't even say hello in advance, otherwise I would follow the etiquette of the Hanxia people and ask your teacher's wife to cook you a few of her signature dishes."
Xia Yuan naturally did not dare to be arrogant in front of this person. Even though his current status in the film industry cannot be underestimated, there is still a big gap compared to these older generation leaders, especially those who were engraved in the world film history textbooks.
It can even be said that the gap is very large, as far as ten thousand miles.
He immediately stood up and said, "You are embarrassing me. Let me do it."
Xia Yuan took the coffee directly.
After James Carey sat down, Xia Yuan looked at the man who was once known as the Jade-faced Comedy Master.
James Carey was once known as one of the 100 most handsome men in the world because of his outstanding looks.
It is said that it is not easy for handsome people to do comedy. It is much more difficult than for others.
But Jam Carey succeeded with such conditions and became a world-class comedy master. He made good use of his appearance and successfully stepped out of his comfort zone. He was famous for his varied facial expressions and delicate micro-expressions, and formed his own unique school of performance techniques.
This naturally requires effort far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
But now, this once high-spirited king of comedy has become old, no longer young, and very haggard.
"How have you been lately? Since you won the award and achieved great results, you must be feeling pretty high-spirited, right?" James Carey smiled gently, holding a cup of coffee.
"Thanks to the teachers. If it weren't for the award you gave me, I would have avoided a lot of detours in resuming the show. I guess the final result would be hard to say. I am also very grateful to you and all the masters for your firm support to me at this time." Xia Yuan said seriously.
However, James Carey shook his head and waved his hand casually: "That's not the case. We are not helping you. We are just helping art. It's a very simple thing. That's all. We just don't want to see American movies being muddied by a few individuals.
And when it comes down to it, it was actually your wife who was working behind the scenes, right?"
James Carey said with a smile.
It was at this moment that Xia Yuan was stunned.
It was indeed a bit surprising that his mentor knew these things, because most people would not be aware of this matter, which was only limited to the game at the top.
But this mentor knew.
It seems that as a top master in the film industry who is worthy of being written into film history, the other party's power is indeed beyond my imagination. My mentor is actually not simple!
Xia Yuan also smiled and said, "Yes, I am grateful to have a good wife. I have always been very grateful to my wife. It is because of my wife's silent support behind me that I can achieve what I have today and come this far."
"Then you should cherish her even more. My wife and I are the same as you. So after so many years, I still love her very much, because she is not only my partner, but also my partner. Having her around really gives my life more color." James Carey smiled, and his smile was very gentle.
At this time, Xia Yuan remembered that his mentor had actually been suffering from depression for many years.
The living conditions are actually not good.
This also made Xia Yuan feel a little heavy.
This reminded him that it seems that many people who do comedies, basically 80% of them, suffer from depression.
Stepping away from the lovable roles and joy they bring to people outside the big screen, many people take off their masks and actually reveal a sad undertone.
My mentor has expressed his gratitude to his wife in public more than once. If it weren't for his wife's silent encouragement behind the scenes, he would have been tortured by illness and would have been unrecognizable.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this." James Carey waved his hand nonchalantly: "Tell me, why did you come to see me this time? You must be the one who said that no one comes to see you for no reason, right? I remember it was like this."
"That's right, teacher." Xia Yuan nodded: "In fact, it is true. This time I came here to invite you to come out of retirement."
"Oh?" James Carey frowned, "What do you mean?"
"It's like this, I have a plan for a new movie now, and it's almost ready." Xia Yuan was not vague, but said directly: "It's a comedy, this time there will be many big names starring, not just you, many of them were your partners in the past.
This movie is a very significant one, and I still hope you can be one of the leading actors, but I don’t know what you think.”
"A movie?" James Carey lowered his head and thought carefully for a moment: "It's quite interesting. I think I can't directly answer whether you will accept the contract or not. I need to read the script."
"Why not?" Xia Yuan opened his briefcase, took out the script and handed it over: "I'm ready."
"Hahaha, that's direct enough. I like it!" James Carey laughed heartily, took the script and started reading.
Just at the first glance, he was silent.
Then the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed.
After watching for about half an hour, he finally looked up and said, "You want to shoot this? Have you thought it through?"
"Yes." Xia Yuan nodded in a very simple manner.
He knew that his mentor understood what he wanted to express, so he said this.
"Then you should know how sensitive your subject matter is. To be honest, you are actually playing with fire, do you know that?"
James Carrey's expression was serious.
Xia Yuan said: "I know, but you are also interested, right?"
He looked at his mentor. (End of this chapter)
