"Director Chris Deng, where are we going to London?" asked Kate Beckinsale, looking at John.

When she got into John's car, she was always worried that John would take her to a place where people rarely visited, and then do something murderous or otherwise, and then it would really be impossible to call the heavens and the earth.

And John naturally understood Kate Beckinsale's concerns, so he didn't hide it. "Let's go to Buckingham Palace!"

"Oh!" Kate Beckinsale let go of his worries when he heard that he was going to Buckingham Palace, as long as John didn't take him to a lesser-known place or a hotel to open a room.

"Director Chris Deng! You said in the classroom that I am very suitable for the heroine of your movie! I wonder what the name of your film is and when is it going to start?"

After Kate Beckinsale confirmed that she was safe, she also had to confirm whether John was a director and whether he was really ready to make a movie. Although she is not a person in the acting circle, she has lived in an actor's family since she was a child, and she knows a little bit about things in the acting circle, as long as John shows flaws, she can find out.

"My film is called Forrest Gump, which is based on the novel of the same name by an American author, with a total investment of 80 million US dollars, and will be officially launched in the United States in May next year. ”

John is not disgusted by Kate Beckinsale's temptation, he is not Cameron or Spielberg, he is just a rookie director who has just entered the industry, so it is impossible for people all over the world to know him.

"What about Chris Deng, is Forrest Gump your Virgo?" Kate Beckinsale continued to probe. She wasn't attracted to the $80 million investment, not because she was innocent and treated money as dung, but because she knew that the more a scam she had, the better it looked.

"No!" John shook his head. "My Virgo is called "Stealing Love", I don't know if you have heard of it?"

"Stealing Love" Kate Beckinsale looked at John with a sudden realization. "It's not starring Jim Carrey and Sandra Bullock. ”

She and her roommate went to see this movie some time ago, the movie was good, and Jim Carrey looked okay, but she never paid attention to who the director was.

"Yes!" John nodded. The director is behind the scenes, not as popular as the actor in the eyes of the audience, if it is not super A-level, it will rarely be remembered.

"Do you have any other questions?" John asked, looking at Kate Beckinsale, who felt that he was handsome and talented, and that he was not a liar by any means.

"No!" Kate Beckinsale replied embarrassedly. She already knows John's details, so she doesn't need to be tempted, as for whether John is the director of "Stealing Love", don't worry about this, her parents are insiders, as long as you check it, you can know.

"Okay, since you're all right, let's talk about the movie!" John said as he looked at Kate Beckinsale. "My movie will start in May next year, the main actors have been found, and the heroine has naturally been found, but I'm afraid that she will break the contract and leave the scene halfway through filming, so I want to find a substitute actor just in case, now you understand, right?"

Kate Beckinsale nodded, and after a long time, John asked herself to be a substitute, which made her a little disappointed.

As a substitute actor, it is one thing whether you can play in the end, if you can't play, then the preparation and efforts in the early months or even more than ten months are in vain, no actor will do this kind of thing, generally only the kind of stupid people will do it. "I'm sorry, Director Chris Deng, we may not be able to work together. ”

John was not surprised to hear Kate Beckinsale's refusal.

Because he never naively thought that Kate Beckinsale would be willing to be a substitute actor for the so-called dream of being an actor, you must know that there is no free lunch in this world.

What's more, Kate Beckinsale's parents are both actors, and it is not difficult to find one or two small roles for her to debut.

So in order for Kate Beckinsale to agree to be a substitute actor, John had to come up with conditions that could impress her. "Miss Beckinsale, don't be busy refusing first, it's a bit of a grievance to let you be a substitute actor, but I won't let you suffer, I have prepared two contracts for you, you might as well listen to it first and make a decision. ”

Kate Beckinsale pursed her lips, and she also wanted to know how much she was worth. "Okay, Director Chris Deng, please speak. ”

"The first contract is that you promised to be a substitute actor, and if you don't end up playing the heroine in Forrest Gump, then I will pay you $1 million. If you star, the salary will be paid to you as the heroine who broke the contract in the film. ”

Kate Beckinsale nodded, she was very satisfied with the contract, even if she didn't act, she could get $1 million, which was a huge amount of money for her. And what makes her happy is that her price is not low.

"What about the second contract!" Kate Beckinsale had some anticipation rising in her heart.

"The second contract is that you promised to be a substitute actor, if you fail to play the female role in "Forrest Gump" in the end, then I will compensate you in the third movie and let you play the heroine, and the salary will be given to you according to the heroine price of "Forrest Gump". ”

After hearing this, Kate Beckinsale felt that the two contracts were similar, but the first contract was compensated with money, and the second contract was compensated with roles, and the sincerity of both contracts was sufficient, and she couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Which one should I choose?"

Kate Beckinsale thought carefully.

Is it to take money?

Or take the role?

After thinking about it for a long time, Kate Beckinsale looked at John and said, "Director Chris Deng!

Although she can buy a lot of new clothes, new bags, and a good car with money, she prefers to be an actor because she has lived in an actor's family since she was a child.

"I have to say, you made the right choice!" John held out his hand and shook Kate Beckinsale. Kate Beckinsale's choice he had expected a long time ago, otherwise he would not have traveled all the way to England.

"Thank you!" Kate Beckinsale smiled faintly.

After the two reached a cooperation, John said what he wanted. "Miss Beckinsale, after signing the contract, you will go to ICM to report, they will arrange a film school for you, train you as an actor for half a year, and also help you get familiar with the role of the heroine in Forrest Gump. ”

Although Kate Beckinsale grew up in an actor family, she did not study a professional actor course after all, so she must train to play the role of a vase in "Forrest Gump".

And the reason why she was asked to report to ICM was that John wanted to get close to the water and sign her into ICM.
