Chapter 529: Exasperated?

When I woke up, another work that I participated in had already landed in the theaters.

After taking a shower, Jim Carrey looked in the mirror and saw that the man in front of him was in low spirits and was a little lethargic.

Well, I admit, I didn't sleep well last night.

Although I have made a lot of movies, I shouldn't be so restless, but in a competitive circle like Hollywood, how can I not wake up all the time, let alone maintain a normal heart.

After all, the performance of each participating work is related to an actor's career future.

After having breakfast hastily, Jim Carrey immediately hurried to the Death Star building in caa.

My own agent, Staunton, has been waiting there for a long time. In the office, there are five or six people around him. Strictly speaking, they all belong to Jim Carrey's own business team, whether it is news PR or negotiation. Negotiations are basically in the interests of Jim Carrey.

This is also why caa can win over the most superstars, it is because the system and personnel are perfect, and they are fully considered.

Everyone got together with each other for the "Daydreamer".

With Jim Carrey's current status and market appeal, caa's staff have been busy for a long time before they roughly sorted out the feedback information from various aspects after the movie was released yesterday. .

Of course, not for the entire movie, but simply for Jim Carrey's personal star career.

After all, if we take the worst conclusion, once the box office of "Daydreamer" is not good, we have to find a way to reduce the presence of the protagonist Jim Carrey and reduce the loss of reputation, which means that the next For a period of time, you have to avoid the media and reduce travel, so the arrangement of some event schedules should be adjusted accordingly.

However, "Daydreamer" did not disappoint everyone in the office.

Blue Butterfly Pictures took advantage of the residual heat of the "Million Dollar Baby" market, followed by the method of rapid release, which instantly ignited the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie.

Moreover, how should I put it, "Daydreamer" has a stronger commercial attribute and is more likely to be sought after by the audience.

What satisfies Jim Carrey's economic team even more is that the film continues Lehman's consistent positive reviews, and even has always been very harsh on Jim Carrey and disliked his acting style of acting crazy and acting silly in comedy movies. This time, the film critics People aren't grabbing the spotlight either.

You know, "Dumb and Dumber" was such a hit at the box office, but at that time, it was almost all critics.

Of course, film critics don't always like comedies, let alone comedians...

"Has the box office data come out?" someone urged.

Stanton replied, "I've already sent someone to collect and aggregate data from Blue Butterfly Pictures and Nielsen. I guess it's ok to wait a while."

After saying this, Stanton turned to Jim Carrey and said: "The initial feedback of the film is better than all of us expected, not only the film critics, but the audience's real-time on-site research information can also see the film's popularity. The statistics company we commissioned collected random reviews from 2,000 people, of which more than 80 percent gave the film an A, and less than 5 percent of them failed.”

"So, does the film have the potential to sell well?" Jim Carrey asked eagerly.

"It's hard to say. After all, we still don't know how the box office is going to be released. Are there still few movies that have good reputation but don't sell well?"

"Yes." Jim Carrey suppressed his urgency, but there was still a sense of impatience all over him.

Although Jim Carrey is very optimistic about Lehmann's directing ability, he is still a little uneasy.

If it fails this time, Jim Carrey is reluctant to imagine what the media guarantees will say about him, and he will definitely give an example that he is out of breath and can't keep up with market changes.

To be honest, he himself somewhat believed in this theory.

Seven or eight years ago, none of the comedies he starred in were less than 100 million. "Geezes in Disguise" even earned US$351 million with an investment of US$23 million (including publicity), and finally ranked in the world in 1994. The fourth highest-grossing movie in the top ten was in 1994. It is recognized that the market is prosperous and masterpieces are frequent.

And just like that, he starred in less than 350,000 US dollars. He was an actor who just showed his prominence. He played the leading role, but he defeated many opponents. He was second only to Disney's hand-painted animation peak "The Lion King" and won the 67th Oscar 4 "Forrest Gump" with a heavyweight award and Cameron's masterpiece "True Lies."

But now, the films he has acted in have surpassed the past, not even the box office threshold of the past, and because of the increase in remuneration, many studios think that inviting him to star in the film is not worth the loss, and it is better to praise newcomers.

It has to be said that this is very Hollywood, and his active operation and transformation also shows that he is tired, and it is no longer enough for the group of vampires to recognize his value.

This makes Jim Carrey's always worried about the media's argument a reality.

Exasperated? He hadn't even thought about living like that.

But the more uneasy, the more I want to find something to comfort me.

While waiting, Jim Carrey picked up some of the latest newspapers and read them.

When I saw the first copy I felt a little relieved.

"Los Angeles Daily" wrote in the film review column: "'Daydreamer' is a splendid audio-visual feast-beautiful shots, a relaxed soundtrack, and wonderful performances by several actors, making people feel like It is a road self-driving tour, enjoying leisure time while driving, there is a rare spiritual cleansing, at the same time, what is even more rare is the kind of life philosophy presented by the film, which sublimates the theme at once, making the film not a simple landscape film. , a bit of the plot conveys a creed."

"The San Francisco Times" said: "The style of the film is quite unique and contains many fantasy humorous elements. Playing football in the desert, skateboarding on the road, flying up the plateau and diving to the bottom of the sea, and flying over the walls to become a hero, although this is all a love In the imagination of daydreaming, the plot is also very bland and has no climax. It makes people feel that the protagonist is very ordinary, even a loser, but he knows all this, and I still feel a little moved by the actions of the protagonist at the end. Maybe this That's the beauty of this movie."

"After laughing, I can leave my thoughts behind, and use an imaginative framework to tell a small story, but it can make the audience watch it and resonate. There is no doubt that "Daydreamer" did it."

"The most beautiful scenery in the comedy films, the funniest in the scenery films, in the scenery comedy films, the soundtrack is the best match, only three o'clock, or the audience who want to see all kinds of unfortunate Jim Carrey, don't miss it..."
