Chapter 61: A Promise

In front of the London Police building, a group of reporters surrounded Jude and Winnie-Jones.

"Director Locke, what do you think of the Pooh Jones beating incident again?"

"Given Pooh Jones' bad behavior, will the crew consider changing actors next?"

"The English Football Association issued an announcement yesterday announcing the decision to punish Vinnie Jones, what does Director Locke think about this?"

Jude refused to accept any interviews, and Winnie Jones, who was following him, walked out the door without saying a word, ignoring all kinds of questions from the reporters next to him.

Jason Statham was waiting at the door in the Winnie Jones Lotus car, and the two quickly got into the car, leaving with reporters constantly banging on the windows to try to interview.

The car drove out of the parking lot, which can be regarded as completely getting rid of such reporters, of course, this is only temporary, and it is foreseeable that there will be a lot of reporters near the filming location of the crew in the next few days.

Jason Statham turned back from the driver's seat and joked with Winnie Jones: "How does it feel to be chased by reporters?" ”

"You'll find out when you experience it yourself later." Pooh-Jones looked depressed and reluctant to deal with people.

Jude put a hand on Pooh-Jones' shoulder.

"I owe you a favor for this."

"At least you saved me from a lawsuit, didn't you?" Winnie Jones turned his head to look at Jude, "As long as you don't kick me out of the set, everything else is fine." ”

Jude couldn't help but laugh, "It's too easy to fire you like that, I decided to make your character in the movie more vicious, so that you will bear the infamy of a villain for the rest of your life, what do you think?" ”

"I think that's a good idea." Jason Statham turned his head and chimed in.

"Hey, you two guys, I just came out of the police station, is that how you comfort people?" Winnie Jones grumbled in annoyance.

Jason Statham then laughed and said, "I thought you liked the police department, otherwise why would you be a guest in it so often?" ”

Winnie-Jones was about to open his mouth to retort, but Jude held him down on the shoulder.

"What do I owe most to you about this? Not because you bear all the infamy alone, but because of the punches you punched Mike Sheen, I have to say well done! ”

"I knew that you robbed someone else's girlfriend and spent the night at someone's house, so I just stood aside and pretended not to see anything, and I wouldn't have so much trouble now." Winnie-Jones said indignantly, as if he was still holding a grudge against what had just happened.

Jude was a little embarrassed by Pooh Jones's words and could only change the subject.

"Okay, this is the end of this matter, but the promise I made just now is still valid, I owe you a favor, as long as I can do one thing for you within my ability."

Pooh-Jones was about to speak, but Jude immediately reminded him: "Don't be busy making decisions just yet, if you ask me to fulfill my promise now, there is not much I can actually do to help you, but if you come to me again in a few years to make this request, the reward will definitely be far beyond your imagination." As long as you don't take the initiative to speak, this promise will always work, and you can think about it yourself. ”

Seeing Jude's serious expression, Winnie-Jones hesitated for a moment, but finally resisted the urge to make a request to the other party immediately.

"Do you think you can be more successful in the future? No kidding, you don't even know what's wrong with your crew, do you know what everyone has said about this movie in private since the start of filming? ”

Jude was stunned by a series of questions from Vinnie Jones, who thought that the filming of "Two Smoking Guns" had been going well, and if it hadn't been brought up in this situation, he would have wondered if Winnie Jones was joking.

"Pooh!" Jason Statham had a reminder in front.

"Don't worry, Jason, I know what to do." Winnie Jones gave Jason Statham a look and turned his head to look at Jude, "Originally, I was looking for a suitable opportunity to talk to you about this again, but since I mentioned it just now, then I have nothing to hide." Everyone feels very relaxed about this movie, including me, but we don't know what you're going to shoot at all, the plot is fragmented, and it seems to be unconnected, so we have to wonder if you really have a complete script for this movie, or can you really make a complete movie by combining these shot shots? ”

Jude frowned and asked, "Is this your feeling alone, or does everyone think so?" ”

Pooh-Jones shrugged, "If it was just my thoughts, I wouldn't be bringing it up here." ”

Jude glanced at Jason Statham, who was driving, out of the corner of his eye, and saw that he was not going to object, and immediately made a judgment about the seriousness of the matter.

"Jason, find a bar around here, and I'll ask you to go for a drink."

――

Arriving at the bar, Jude raised his hand and asked the bartender for three glasses of dark beer, and sat side by side with Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones at the bar to continue the conversation.

"I was the only one in the crew and the cinematographer Ayman Ruhr who had the full script in our hands, do you know why?"

Jason Statham and Pooh Jones both unconsciously stopped drinking and looked at Jude curiously.

"The reason is simple, I need the plot to be kept secret." Jude gives the answer, and goes on to explain: "I know it's hard to do that, basically all movies have some part of the plot exposed by the media before they are released, sometimes it's publicity needs, sometimes it's competitors playing tricks, it's not a very serious problem for most films, but mine is an exception to this film. ”

Winnie Jones was about to ask Jude why, but was stopped by Jason Statham with a look.

"Every movie has its own selling point, some rely on stars, some rely on production and special effects, and my film does not have these conditions. I don't mean to be offended by saying this, Pooh is really famous on the football field, but after leaving football, you can't even compare to a third-tier Hollywood star. And you can also see that I didn't have very high requirements for the actors during the filming, in other words, the actors are not the main selling point of this movie, which I explained to you when we first met, but you have to know that the new line company is not stupid, they are willing to invest in this movie, of course, they see that this movie has the possibility of making money for them, so what is this possibility? ”

Winnie Jones is still thinking, and Jason Statham has already given the answer.

"The plot design of the movie, just like a suspense film, is boring if you know in advance that the whole movie will be turned out."

"That's right, the plot of this film is very complex, and it uses a new cinematic narrative technique, so it is difficult for you to find out what the film is going to tell from the shooting without a full script, and I even drew pictures on the whiteboard to explain the structure of the film to the investors, in short, please trust me, when all the shots are shot and edited together, you will find that this movie is far more interesting than you think."
