Jude quickly agrees to Jem's request and asks him to join the crew immediately.

"Jim, here!"

Tony stood on the side of the street, waving at the other side.

Jim was carrying a large black bag and crossed the road with his assistant Severn.

Tony greeted him, and the two embraced.

Jim glanced at the house behind Tony, the lawn was newly trimmed and the billboard for sale at the door had been removed, and it looked no different from the surrounding residences.

"You're filming right here?"

"I've done a bit of work, and when I came here yesterday it wasn't as rosy as it is now."

Tony briefly explained to Jim, and then his gaze fell on the tall, lanky black man behind him.

"This is Severn, my assistant." Jim introduced.

"I'm waiting for you!" Tony shook hands with Severn and led them into the house.

In the living room, each actor has a script in his hand and is memorizing his lines in a hurry.

A guy who looks like a photographer is holding a camera and doing the final adjustments, and there is a young man who is moving various equipment and props in and out, which makes up the whole crew.

Jim couldn't help but feel a sense of desolation in his heart, although he had long known the rudimentary level of this crew, but the current situation was still greatly unexpected by him.

"Are you sure they'll pay us a thousand dollars a day?" Severn, who had come with Jim, whispered behind his back.

"Maybe." Jim didn't look back, and he wasn't really sure.

The young man, who had been carrying props back and forth, quickly finished his work and took off his gloves and walked over.

"You're the sound engineer Tony introduced, right?"

Seeing the other party reach over, Jim hesitated for a moment, but finally handed his hand out.

The two shook hands, and the other introduced themselves, "Hello, I'm Jude Locke. ”

The expression on Jim's face suddenly became very exciting, he never thought that this guy who was regarded as a drama manager was actually the director in Tony's mouth.

"Sorry, just now I thought you were just a normal staff member, so ......"

Before Jim finished speaking, Jude directly interrupted: "The recording equipment is over there, you and your partner should get familiar with it as soon as possible." First of all, we shoot in the afternoon, but we do a rehearsal in the morning and a rehearsal at noon, and the cinematographer and sound engineer are involved throughout the process to make sure that there are no mistakes in the actual shoot. ”

Jim was stunned for a moment, but Saiwen behind him nudged him lightly, and then realized that Jude was waiting for his answer.

"No problem."

"Ayman Ruhr!" Jude beckoned to the tall, curly-haired man who was fiddling with the camera not far away, "Come here!" ”

The Mexican walked over with a blank face.

"This is our photographer, you can ask him a little bit about the shooting."

Jude irresponsibly threw Eman Rull to Jim, and left on his own.

Jim was still a little overwhelmed, and Emmanrull spoke first.

"That's how he is, and soon you'll get used to it."

Jim pouted noncommittally, "Let's talk about how we can work together during the shoot." ”

――

Jude only left Aiman Ruhr and Jim less than half an hour to get to know each other, and when the first rehearsal began, Jim and Severn were a little out of shape, especially after learning about the crew's "grandiose" shooting concept from Aiman Ruhr, the two agreed that it was impossible to do it with the crew in front of them.

"For the sake of a thousand dollars a day, let's make a show." Jim thought to himself.

But the development of things was a little unexpected by the two, and as soon as Jude shouted, the crew, which originally looked loose, instantly became another state.

Whether it's the photographer Ayman Ruhr or the actors in front of the camera lens, all of them showed exceptional professionalism.

In particular, the focused and serious expressions on their faces suddenly gave Jim the illusion that he was on a big set.

"I take back what I just said, and cheer up, this time we may really be blind."

Jim gave his assistant Severn a look, and he began to devote himself to the work of closing the sound on the spot.

Because it was the first live rehearsal, almost all eight leading actors, including Muller and Kate, had some problems, either because their performances were not in place, or they suddenly forgot their lines...... It is gratifying that after 90 minutes of playing, there are basically no major problems.

Jude stood off-camera, holding a notebook in his hand, recording all the things he was dissatisfied with and the actors were making mistakes, and after the rehearsal, he handed the actors in front of them one by one, pointed out the problems, and gave suggestions for improvement.

"Han, your expression is still a little stiff, you have to completely forget your identity in reality, here you are a professor of biology at Harvard, when talking about issues within your professional scope, the expression on your face must be confident and casual, to give people a feeling of ease, do you know what I mean?"

Han Lin nodded, picked up the script and left.

"Tony, your problem is that body language is too rich, remember that you are an anthropologist and must be restrained!"

Tony knows that his problem is that he always likes to steal the show, and Jude said this to give him face, but others would have been severely reprimanded.

The director has only been working for a few days, Jude's temper has become bigger and bigger, and he has to face a bunch of crazy problems every day, and most of the directors' tempers are probably forced out in this way.

"Petty, your performance today...... Kate, how are you? ”

Jude flipped to the page where Petty's question was recorded, and looked up to find that it was Kate standing in front of him.

"She went to the bathroom, can you talk about my problem first?" Kate smiled at Jude, who now grew to appreciate the focused look on his face at work, which was much more appealing than Jude's previous appearance as an actor.

Jude closed the notebook in his hand, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"There are two places where you said the wrong line today, but I'm sure you're aware of it, right?"

Kate was glad to hear Jude's comment, but she still had a little regret.

"If only I could have a little more role in this role."

Jude could only shrug his shoulders.

"Your wish will only come true when we work together next time."

"Are you sure?" Kate asked curiously.

"Pretty sure!" Jude nodded solemnly.

Kate's eyes darkened, "I'm going back to the UK after filming this drama, and I'm afraid I won't have the opportunity to work together again in the future." ”

"Who knows?" Jude pouted, "Maybe you'll change your mind soon!" ”
