    《瘋狂亞洲富豪》這種全部都是亞裔角色的劇本

  • so I talked to my manager, I picked up the phone,

    所以我就打電話跟我經紀人說:

  • right away I'm like, "Guys, I know I'm usually the funny guy,

    「嘿,我知道我平常是個搞笑的人,

  • "you know, like, the character actor,

    跟裡面這個角色非常接近,

  • "but let me-- this is an important movie--

    但這部電影這麼重要,可不可以

  • let me try out for the leading role." Okay?

    讓我試試看男主角呢?」好嗎?

  • And then my manager was like, "Look, Jimmy, I don't know

    然後我的經紀人就回答我說:「吉米,我不知道

  • "how to tell you this properly, but, um...

    怎麼更婉轉地跟你說,但是

  • "they're looking for a good-looking guy

    電影公司在找的是一個高顏值

  • for this role."

    的男演員。」

  • And, uh, you know, here I am.

  • (laughter)

    (笑聲)

  • -Here I am, so, uh... it's okay. -Yeah, but you,

    -對,就是這樣,沒有關係 -對,但是

  • -but you-you crush it in the movie, -Oh, thanks.

    真的很棒

  • It's awesome to play that guy 'cause you get

    戲劇張力表現到最大,

  • to just fill the screen with any energy

    讓你的活力充斥在整個畫面中,

  • you have kind of pent up inside.

    要把內心的野獸都釋放出來

  • 'Cause I think, normally, as functional members of society,

    一般來說,作為社會上正常的一份子

  • you can't just act crazy, but with a character like that,

    你不能隨便就開始發瘋,但這個角色

  • with billions of dollars and he doesn't care about anything,

    是個億萬富翁,他根本不在乎世界上其他事情

  • he-he lives his life like as if it's lawless.

  • There was some kind of magic.

    這說來很奇妙

  • When we were all just hanging out, you know, eating dinner,

    當我們演員們約出來吃飯之類的,
