My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 1580 Life should be a comedy, but it often ends in tragedy
PS: Ask for a monthly pass!

In the recording studio of NBC TV station, Jim Carrey, who was still winking and showing off his nonsensical and funny talent on the show just now, seems to have been hollowed out, sitting on a chair in the dressing room with a tired face and a heavy body, with dirty pupils , listless.
The staff of the TV station brought a cup of black coffee.

Jim Carrey, who was leaning on the chair and preparing to take a nap, quickly raised the corners of his mouth, gave the staff in front of him a thankful smile, showed his happy side to the other party, and happily gave the other party an autograph.
"Jim—"

Filmmaker Mike De Luca walks over with a professional smile, accompanied by director Chuck Russell, "Oh man, isn't that a bit overwhelming?"

"No problem, this content is very simple to me, even easier than bathing the dog at home...I can't wait to record the talk show in the afternoon..."

Jim Carrey's face suddenly burst into an exaggerated smile, changing expressions like a rubber face, and pinching his fingers made a gesture that made him feel sad about losing Korean male fans.

He bounced out of his chair, displaying his natural flair and control in swinging his limbs.

The movie "Ghost in Masquerade" allowed him to get a salary of 35 US dollars, breaking his salary record. Most importantly, this movie allowed him to give full play to his comedy talent, and everyone could see that his talent was about to overflow Come Comedy Cell.

The devotion and improvisation in this play made many people see his creativity that is different from other comedians.

He also cherishes this opportunity.

The film companies Universal, New Line and other companies involved in the distribution have also invested huge publicity resources to promote this low-cost 'horror' movie with an investment of 2800 million US dollars.

Mike De Luca may not be well-known outside the circle, and he cannot compete with the long-established Jerry Bruckheimer, Joe Silver, Arnon Milkan, Ewen Winkler, Scott Tre Rudin and those people are glamorous, but they can be regarded as a new type of producer who has emerged rapidly in recent years in the new generation of producer industry.

He also produced many popular works in later generations.

"Blade Runner", "Ace Powers 2", "Rush Hour 2", "Narcos", "Blackjack", "Soul Chariot", "The Social Network" and other high-profile or box-office hits All works are from his hand.

Oh, of course, it was the success of the "Fifty Shades of Grey" series that really brought this producer into the attention of many movie fans in later generations.

So, no one can always eat fruit bowls, but once you eat the bonus of fruit bowls, then you will find...you have to eat fruit bowls! ! !
Many companies have invested in "Ghost in Masquerade", a horror movie with a small and medium cost. Among them, Lionsgate Films, which is affiliated to the Game of Thrones film company and operated independently, also participated in the investment of "Game of Thrones". In the process of investment and distribution of Stranger in Disguise.

They're also investing in a 'horror film'...and it's Lionsgate's first distribution.

It also meets the company's standards.

As a newly established independent film company, Lions Gate's main purpose is to focus on the discovery, purchase, distribution, promotion or investment, production of independent films, literary films, R-rated films, low-cost horror films and other niche-themed films or more artistic movie of.

Although "Ghost in Mask" is a project of Universal, the production company belongs to the production company under Universal, and New Line also participated in the production.

Investment and co-issue companies are even more so.

But looking at it this way, it can also show that this movie is indeed not taken seriously by Universal.

Otherwise, a horror-themed work would not be scheduled for release in the summer.

The producers and directors all regard this movie as a horror movie...but Jim Carrey can give the movie an unconventional temperament.Many of the lines in this play were improvised by Jim Carrey. In the end, director Chuck Russell and producer Luka were absolutely good, and this was maintained.

It's no surprise that Lionsgate, a fledgling company, was able to co-publish and invest.

Now Alexander Song is the president of the company, and the latter invited several social friends into the company, gathering the 'Moonlight Boy' elements.

It is considered to be full of buffs, but at the same time, it does pay attention to many places that even senior Hollywood filmmakers can't pay attention to.

And found that there are indeed many business opportunities.

These niche groups are rarely noticed by the giants.

After all, in this era, there will be no doubts during the World Cup because a team does not have black people... This era is not so overkill.

In the previous life, independent films in North America were actually developed by "chance coincidence" with the fermentation of various social problems, and gradually gained a place in the North American market, and finally attracted the attention of the market and Hollywood giants... and then... and then nothing. Yes, it was directly incorporated.

Those who don't accept it basically disappear in front of the public.

In this life, Director Wu took the lead in liberating North America.

According to Mr. Wu’s teaching to Alexander Song, who was born on the street, “We want to use literary films to create commercial sensations. Our goal is to cover all kinds of hot topics in modern society, including but not limited to: dark human nature, homosexuality, Cult horror, coming of age, tech anxiety, social focus, marginalized people,...'

In a word, all the social concerns of the Beacon Country and the display of the lawless place are ways for us to join forces to make leek money.

If there is no gender fluid now, and the lgbtq group has not yet taken over the mainstream, otherwise high and low will tell them what is "correct"!
"Jim, you're so nervous," De Luca said with an active smile. "We all want this movie to turn out well. But that's up to God. . . I want to tell you, man, now you have A great opportunity."

De Luca took out a business card and handed it to the other party, blinking at him, "Although I don't want to admit it, I still have to admit that this is definitely a big man. At least for you and me..."

Jim Carrey was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously took a black business card handed over by the other party.

There is no business card full of names on the streets of New York. This black card only has a series of streamlined English letters written on it, and there is a series of phone numbers below, making it difficult to see anything from the business card...

John Woo!

Suddenly, Jim Carrey seemed to think of something, and picked up "Variety" on the table with a face full of disbelief. There was a handsome and manly Chinese face printed on the cover.

Cover black and white gray style.

The appearance of the other party wearing a very textured white shirt leaning on the sofa highlights his mature temperament. In the words of the black and fat girl who just handed her coffee, it is 'very masculine'.

Different from the thinness of Asians in the traditional concept, the opponent is quite strong, which is more in line with the popular aesthetics in Europe and America.

He knew the new favorite of Hollywood.

He has also dabbled in the other party's films, and many films made him feel different from previous film directors.

For him, he must be a very admired and liked director.

Especially when the other party pulls him, a comedy star, so much in terms of artistic attainments...

"That's right, it's Wu. He asked you to have lunch with him. Man, believe me, if he wants to invite someone to dinner, the New York film industry will line up from Fifth Avenue to New Jersey." De Luca joked with a smile.

　There was a mistake about Jim Carrey's current salary and status before, so I changed it.His salary is not that high now. After "Masquerading", coupled with the success of "Aeroplane", his salary rose to 700 million dollars.

　　I haven't recovered yet, and the child has a high fever.
