Joker

"Look at the script."

Kevin pulled out a separate printout of the script and handed it to Jim Carrey.

"Batman: The Dark Knight?"

With curiosity, Jim Carrey flipped the script silently.

...

Gotham City, a city where there are always dark clouds under the night sky, and sins are buried.

It is also one of the cities with the highest crime rates in the United States.

In this city, there is a vigilante named Batman assisting the police to subdue one crime after another.

Among the countless prisoners, a criminal named Joker stood out and became the uncrowned king among the criminals.

The story revolves around the two of them.

The two of them are like the righteous and evil sides of the same person, like twin brothers.

The Joker kept giving Batman a personal choice, toying with him.

In the end, Batman had to choose between himself and the justice he stood for...

This script moved Jim Carrey.

Jim Carrey suddenly raised his head, his expression was very urgent, and he said anxiously:

"Director Steve Kevin, please, please let me play the role of the clown."

At the moment of reading the script, Jim Carrey felt a touch that emerged from the bottom of his heart.

The protagonist of this film seems to be Batman, but the most outstanding is undoubtedly the Joker, a demon who plays with people's hearts, a lunatic, and a king of criminals.

In the same way, he is a marginal figure in society, a clown who is ridiculed by others, and a pitiful creature with a poor background.

This is a very three-dimensional character setting, which must be very colorful.

And such a brilliant role is exactly what he wanted.

But the biggest question is, can he, a professional comedian, be able to play such a role?

This, even Jim Carrey, has no absolute confidence.

However, he was unwilling to give up this role, and spoke resolutely.

Kevin smiled lightly.

"Please act like a clown, let me see if you can act out the feeling I want."

Although I have seen Jim Carrey's god-level acting skills in the past life, but after all, I have not seen it now, and a preliminary assessment is still required.

Jim Carrey nodded, looked down at the script, and chose a passage that he just remembered deeply.

Break the lines into pieces and keep them in mind.

Then the whole person lowered his head and raised his head.

A crazy clown suddenly appeared in front of Kevin.

Unlike Heath Ledger and other excellent clown actors, they need to use makeup to express the identity of the role of the clown and the characteristics of the character.

Jim Carrey, just from his eyes, from his facial expressions, conveyed to Kevin that he was the Joker, the crazy king of Gotham City.

"I'm a clown. In the eyes of others, maybe they will like me, or maybe they will hate me."

"But no one really knows me, no one knows my past, my grief."

"Those who are frustrated, just care if I am enough to save them from being unhappy."

This line was said by the clown when he was still sober before he really became a clown.

This kind of state of going crazy, not yet crazy, or a little crazy, was completely shown in front of Kevin by Jim Carrey.

Then, just a change in the details of the face.

Jim Carrey controlled the corners of his mouth and opened them exaggeratedly to both sides, forming a very exaggerated smile.

But from Jim Carrey's face, what Kevin can feel is a feeling called "smile but not smile", which is an extremely precise facial control ability.

In the previous life, Kevin only knew that there were only three people who could do it.

Mr. You, who played the old version of Jigong, was half smiling and half crying when Jigong set fire to his house.

God-level acting like crying and laughing.

Zhou Xingxing changed 7 expressions in just ten seconds after discovering the real body of the monster with the mirror.

All that's left is Jim Carrey.

These three people are the existences in Kevin's heart who have reached the peak of their acting skills. They do not need overly exaggerated movements, a look in their eyes, and a subtle facial expression change.

It can convey to others the psychological changes of the character.

Jim Carrey continued his lines.

"In their eyes, you're just a freak, just like me."

"They need you now, but when they don't, they'll kick you out like a leper. Their ethics, their code, are a joke."

"When you get into trouble, just throw it all aside."

"I'll let you see that in a pinch, these so-called 'civilized people' will devour each other."

"And you'll see, I'm not a monster, I'm just a visionary."

Immediately afterwards, Jim Carrey let out a few frantic laughter from his mouth.

A real clown just appeared in front of Kevin.

Kevin applauded, breaking Jim Carrey's role.

"Wonderful, very wonderful."

"I can't imagine that there are more clowns in Hollywood than you."

"You can take the script away first, but I don't want any news of this script to leak out. I hope you pay attention."

Kevin's words undoubtedly handed the role of the Joker directly to Jim Carrey.

Facing Kevin's words, Jim Carrey smiled like a child.

It looks very innocent.

"Thank you, thank you, Kevin!"

Thanks Jim Carrey, Kevin just sounds comfortable.

The tone was full of sincerity.

"No thanks, I feel your potential from you."

"In my opinion, you have what it takes to be the greatest actor in Hollywood."

After some exchanges, Jim Carrey immediately regarded Kevin as his best confidant.

After chatting for a while, Kevin watched Jim Carrey leave.

Now that the most important clown is in place, then after he goes to Warner to discuss specific investment matters, he can start work immediately after finding a good actor.

After calculating the funds and time, after the money for the two dark knights is recovered, Kevin will be able to start with Marvel.

With this thought in mind, Kevin got into the car and headed for Warner.
