The office was silent, and both Jude and Leeter had strange smiles on their faces.

Shay immediately realized that he had just said the wrong thing.

He quickly grabbed the phone and informed his assistant Lisa, who spent the next two hours stopping all the visitors.

After putting down the microphone, Shay stood up with his wine glass in hand.

"I retract the sentence just now, only you can write such a script Locke, and only you can shoot it well!" After speaking, he raised his wine glass and gestured to toast to the script of "Two Big Smoking Guns".

Jude and Leet glanced at each other and raised their glasses in agreement.

After drinking the wine, Shay personally walked over with the bottle and poured the wine for Jude and Leet again.

After putting down the bottle, he looked at the two of them and said, "Now, we can seriously discuss the shooting plan of this movie, I remember at the beginning, Locke, you seem to have mentioned that this story takes place in London, right?" ”

"That's right!" Jude nodded.

"Can you change the backdrop and set it in New York or Los Angeles?" Shay asked.

Hearing this, Leet couldn't help but glance over to Jude.

Don't talk about your relationship with Kate!

Jude didn't notice Lee's reaction at this moment, he shook his head completely without thinking, and rejected Shay's proposal.

"An important feature of this movie is the London accent, because under normal circumstances, when it comes to the London accent, everyone will involuntarily associate the words gentleman and elegance, and few people should have seen someone use the London accent to swear in the movie, and this strong contrast is also part of the style of this movie."

Shay nodded after hearing this, and Li Tee on the side was directly dumbfounded.

When he and Jude discussed this issue before, Jude's answer was not like this at all, he knew that Jude would say this, and he didn't need to worry about it at all just now.

There is no doubt that he was tricked by Jude before!

Leet scolded Jude in his heart, and after Shay took a sip of wine, he then mentioned the issue of actors.

"It's a little troublesome for the actors to be able to speak the London accent, but I believe that most actors can overcome this difficulty, although there are many characters in the script, but the C, D, E, F should be the four people throughout the movie, do you have any ideas about the candidates?"

According to Shay's idea, Jude would be better off referring to Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" and finding a few actors like Bruce Willis who are famous but have not been happy lately. It's ideal for indie films on a budget.

Unfortunately, Jude didn't think so, and after taking a sip of wine, he replied: "This movie is not the same as "Pulp Fiction", because there are so many characters, so no single role is outstanding, and it is very difficult to attract big-name actors to join." Again, from the perspective of controlling the crew, do you find some big names, are they willing to act honestly according to my intentions? ”

Shay was about to drink for a while, he almost forgot that Jude is only twenty-one years old, which is very young among actors, not to mention the group of directors who are full of middle-aged people, plus Jude has only made a movie "This Man is from Earth" now, and his qualifications can't convince the public at all, so he can't suppress it at all if he dares to find a few big names to work with him.

"Okay, then let's use all newcomers, I think you already have some ideas on this."

Jude shook the wine glass in his hand, "I have already selected a few main roles, and the rest are small roles that can be done in a few shots, as long as you can speak the London accent, it's no problem." ”

Shay nodded, and then remembered something else.

"By the way, there don't seem to be any female characters in this movie?"

"Actually, there is, there is a woman in the L gang of planting **, but she is just a set-board character, and there is a very amazing shot in the process of G robbing L." Jude explained.

"Then can I understand it this way, this is basically a purely male movie?"

"It can be understood that way."

Shay folded his hands and placed them on the table.

"Okay, I don't have any questions about the film itself, now we can talk about the budget for the film, how much do you want the new line to invest?"

"At least a million." Jude blurted out.

Shay was a little surprised by this, he thought Jude would take the opportunity to open his mouth, after all, such a script is not something that can be written by just anyone.

If Jude had wanted to, Shay could even consider buying the script for the same price.

Of course, this was just Shay's wishful thinking, and then Jude's addition completely dispelled his idea.

"I'm talking about a million pounds, not dollars!"

At the current exchange rate, Jude's proposed shooting budget is close to $2 million, which is not too exaggerated, but it also needs Shay to seriously consider it.

"If they are all newcomers, is this cost budget a little too high?"

Shay's temptation drew Jude's head repeatedly.

"This film is about structure, I can guarantee that the film will not have any superfluous shots, nor will there be any superfluous lines, and a million pounds will be made by someone else, who would dare to give you such a guarantee?"

Shay was speechless for a moment, after all, a production budget of less than $2 million is really not very high for such a movie, and he will even feel embarrassed if he lowers the price again.

"Well, as you say, I'll give you a million pounds, and you give me a movie that does what you say." Shay stopped dragging his feet after making his decision, "Do you have any other requests?" ”

"I'm going to be the producer of this movie, I don't like people pointing fingers at my head, I can only say anything about this movie!" Jude's attitude was tough at the beginning, while Leete's side had a relaxed expression, and it was obvious that the two had communicated about this matter.

Shay frowned and asked, "Without a producer, how do I know where you spent all your money?" ”

Li Tee interjected at this time and said: "The new line can send an accountant to the crew to be responsible for supervision, of course, as long as the money is used for film shooting, it is up to the director to decide how to use it." ”

Shay glanced at Jude, saw that he had no opinion, thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"And then? What else to ask for. ”

"I don't care about the rest, Ritter will take full responsibility."

Jude picked up his glass and tasted it alone.

Leet tacitly took Jude's words, looked at Shay with a smile and said, "Mr. White, can we start?" ”

The corner of Shay's eyes twitched, Li Te's image in his eyes at the moment was a vampire, if he didn't get enough benefits from him, the movie "Two Big Smoking Guns" might have to say goodbye to the new line company.

"I forgot to congratulate Mr. Li on officially becoming Locke's agent, why don't we have a toast first?"

Shay skillfully raised his glass and wanted to get close to Litra, but occasionally the two of them met with gunpowder, and it was conceivable that at the negotiation table, neither of them would be polite to each other.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Jude, he just needs to sit here and wait for the final negotiation results.
