BMW's $1 million and 3 upcoming MINI cars quickly made the news in the newspapers, which is not much compared to the tens of millions of movie advertising sponsorships in later generations, but it is still a pioneering feat in 95 years when advertising placement was not so obvious, but this news did not attract too much attention after it appeared in the newspapers, but a photo of Jude and Sophie Marceau made the headlines of major newspapers.

At the breakfast table, Tom Cruise was reading one such newspaper.

He pressed one hand to his forehead, the other to the newspaper, his eyes fixed on the photo of Jude and Sophie Marceau, and a wave of regret suddenly welled up in his heart.

If Jude had been invited to be the director of "Mission Impossible", there would not have been so much trouble now, but unfortunately it is too late now, and there is no possibility of turning back on both sides.

Nicole Kidman walked over to Tom Cruise with milk and glanced at the newspaper he was holding in his hand.

Her gaze first fell on Jean Georges, who was standing between Jude and Sophie Marceau.

"This is the owner of Jean Georges?"

Tom Cruise looked up at his wife, pouted, and said, "That's not the point!" ”

Nicole Kidman continued to herself as if she didn't understand his prompts: "We've been to that restaurant a few times, and I've always been curious about what the boss looks like, but I didn't expect Jude Locke to actually know him. ”

Not to be outdone, Tom Cruise retorted, "You forgot the last time we went there for dinner, he invited us to visit the kitchen. ”

"But you refused."

Nicole Kidman shrugged regretfully.

Tom Cruise made a point of emphasising: "That's because we have to go to a party in the evening and don't have time to visit!" ”

"So now it's Jude Locke and Sophie Marceau who appear in the newspapers. And not you and me. ”

Nicole Kidman has always felt that Tom Cruise made the wrong decision to replace Jude as director of "Mission Impossible" with Brian De Palma, and now it's just a matter of playing on the topic.

Tom Cruise closed the newspaper. Got up from his seat.

Jude Rourke invited Sophie Marceau to lunch at Jean Georges, but the restaurant was best known for its dinner. So the whole thing is a deliberate hype by the other party, the purpose is just to promote the movie. ”

Nicole Kidman clasped her hands and looked at Tom Cruise, who went to the kitchen to pour coffee, "So the previous rumors are true?" Will Sophie Marceau play the heroine of "Spy"? ”

Tom Cruise said as he poured coffee into his cup: "The news hasn't been officially announced yet, maybe it's just a hype or a smoke bomb deliberately released over there." ”

Nicole Kidman was about to say her opinion on the matter when the phone in the living room suddenly rang.

Tom Cruise came out of the kitchen with his coffee just in time to see Nicole Kidman pick up the microphone.

"It's Wagner's call."

Nicole Kidman passed the microphone after hearing this, and Tom Cruise shook her head and motioned for her to continue asking what was going on.

"Tom is right next to me. That's right, he asked me to ask you what's the matter? ”

Wagner asked directly on the other end of the phone: "Have you read the newspaper this morning?" ”

Nicole Kidman glanced at Tom Cruise and hesitantly replied, "Are you referring to the news that Jude Locke and Sophie Marceau both ate at Jean Georges' restaurant?" ”

As soon as Tom Cruise heard about Jean Georges' restaurant, his mood immediately became nervous, and he subconsciously clenched the coffee cup in his hand.

"Okay, I'll relay the news to him."

Nicole Kidman put down the phone and shrugged helplessly at Tom Cruise and said, "Unfortunately, what I just said has come true." ”

Tom Cruise's mood instantly sank to the bottom, and he subconsciously compared Sophie Marceau to Emmanuel Bea, the heroine of "Mission Impossible".

The former has a great reputation in France. And recently he has been noticed by Hollywood for playing the French princess who has feelings for the protagonist Wallace in "Braveheart", and although the latter has also made several good movies in France, it is much less well-known.

Thinking of this, Tom Cruise suddenly hated the casting director of "Mission Impossible". This guy didn't choose actresses from other countries, but recommended a French actor to him, and now Sophie Marceau is starring in "Spy". The advantages of "Mission Impossible" in the cast have been flattened a lot.

"Sophie Marceau is so famous in France, she should be very picky about the role. Why did you star in such a commercial film as "Spy Shadow"? ”

Nicole Kidman originally wanted to remind Tom Cruise not to underestimate the movie "Spy". But it accidentally touched Tom Cruise's "fragile" self-esteem.

He immediately retorted: "If you want to quickly gain the recognition of American audiences, starring in commercial films seems to me to be a normal choice, Jude Locke is just lucky, just happened to meet Sophie Marceau during this time and wanted to transform, the answer is as simple as that." ”

Seeing Tom Cruise's attitude, Nicole Kidman knew that she didn't need to refute anymore, because even if she said Tom Cruise, she would definitely not listen, and it would even cause conflicts between the husband and wife, and there was no need for that.

But deep down, she still thinks that this matter can't be so simple.

In Sophie Marceau's eyes, the role she chose will certainly not be so simple.

In an apartment in Santa Monica, Kate is also flipping through the same newspaper as Tom Cruise.

"I don't think that woman is better than Emmanuel Bea, other than being a little more famous."

Jude lowered his head and busied himself with the food on his plate, and replied vaguely.

"Are you sure?"

Although it is unknown why Sophie Marceau became "that woman" when she got to Kate's mouth, Jude wisely chose to remain silent on the issue. After all, it was a photo of him and another woman going out to eat and it was published in the newspaper. It's also normal for your girlfriend to have a few small complaints.

Kate saw that Jude was not very enthusiastic about this topic, so she changed the subject and said, "This is Jean Georges' restaurant." One of the restaurants I would most like to eat in New York. ”

Jude had to put down the knife and fork in his hand and look up at Kate.

"The last time I was filming in New York. You haven't said anything like that. ”

Kate immediately retorted, "Please, last time we made a movie like "The Seven Deadly Sins", I wasn't in the mood to eat at all during that time. ”

Jude shrugged his shoulders and apologized.

"The last part of "Spy Shadow" will be filmed in New York, you can take the time to come and visit the class, and then we will go to eat together."

"We?" Kate subconsciously counted Sophie Marceau, who played the heroine of "Spy", into it.

"It's just you and me." Jude replied in the affirmative.

Kate immediately changed her mind and said: "If it is a visit, I would prefer to go to France, and there are many famous restaurants like Jean Georges in Paris." ”

Jude has no opinion on this, Paris is the place with the most scenes in the "Spy" trilogy, although the filming schedule of the three films together will be very rushed. But it's not that you don't even have time to go out to dinner with your girlfriend.

After talking about the meal, the topic of conversation between Kate and Jude returned to "Spy".

"It's a pity that the actor is not Brad Pitt, otherwise the cast of the film would have surpassed "Mission Impossible"."

Jude doesn't think it's a pity: "If you really want Brad Pitt to star, what's the difference between the two movies?" Brad Pitt feels more about being a star than an actor right now, and all I need is an actor. ”

Kate put her hands on the dining table, leaned forward slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to think so highly of Matt Damon." ”

Jude smiled mysteriously and asked, "Want to know why?" ”

Kate subconsciously reacted, "Wasn't that just now?" ”

"Of course not, there are a lot of people in Hollywood who can be called actors, and Matt Damon doesn't have much of an advantage over these people. The real reason is because I see some of you in him. ”

"What!" Kate looked at Jude with a strange expression, apparently misunderstanding in some way.

"No, no, I mean he has a similar experience to you, both of whom chose to give up their studies to become an actor in college. You know that there are very few Hollywood stars with high degrees like you and Matt Damon, especially from schools like Oxford, Harvard, and even less. ”

"But apart from being able to talk to a Russian woman while doing hot wax hair removal, my major in college was not useful in Hollywood. The only time it was useful was to help you translate the English script of "Spy Heavy" into French. ”

Kate's words are full of helplessness, and a high degree is useless. That's the reality in Hollywood.

Jude put a piece of omelette in his mouth with a fork and said as he chewed, "External conditions determine whether you can be an actor or not." And the internal conditions determine how far you can go on the road of being an actor, I don't think that your major is useless at all, at least in the choice of scripts, you will be easier than others to see the quality of a role, and now more and more actors choose to transform into directors or producers in the later stages of their careers, and the knowledge you have learned will be more effective at that time. ”

Kate asked hesitantly, "Are you sure you're not comforting me by saying that?" ”

"Of course not." Jude stopped the breakfast he was fiddling with, raised his head and looked at Kate seriously and said, "Matt Damon wrote a script with his friends, I saw the story called "Soul Catcher", the movie is really made, maybe it can win the Oscar for Best Screenplay." ”

Kate couldn't help but remind: "But now you're looking for him to be the starring role." ”

Jude coughed awkwardly, "Okay, please ignore that. I just want to say that there is no conflict between having a high degree and being a good actor! ”
