At the urging of Lee, the lawyers in Los Angeles quickly settled the contracts of Mueller, Tony and others, and only Kate has not made progress for the time being because she is far away in the UK.

At the door of the hotel room, Leet blocked Jude's way.

"What is your relationship with her?"

"Friends." Jude replied nonchalantly.

"Ordinary friends?" Leeter asked.

Jude knew what Li Te wanted to ask, so he directly blocked him with words: "Don't worry, when I met her, she already had a boyfriend." ”

Li Te's curiosity began, "Since it's an ordinary friend, why don't you sign a new contract with her?" ”

Jude shrugged, "Because I'm sure she wouldn't do that." ”

"Why?"

"I don't want a reason for this."

Jude's tough attitude annoyed Lee.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"I'm going to a movie."

Li Tet covered his forehead with his hand, "You know that's not what I'm asking!" ”

"But I just want to talk to you about it now, Kate's matter is over here, if I really need to sign a new contract, I will talk to her in person later."

Jude made his statement, and Litt knew that there was no point in continuing to argue, but that didn't mean he agreed with Jude's approach.

"As an agent, I have to warn you that you're taking a risk!"

"Don't worry, I've always had good luck."

Jude patted Leeter on the shoulder and walked out the door around his block.

――

Looking at the crowd waiting in line at the entrance of the theater, Li Tee found that he still underestimated the importance that New Line Company attached to "This Man is from Earth", and was able to make this film attract the attention of so many audiences in just a few days, which shows that he must have put a lot of effort into publicity and public relations.

He glanced sideways at the two of them who were standing beside him, and the two of them were now a little bit fighting with each other, and they would find fault with each other at the first opportunity.

"It's a lot better than you think."

"Excluding reporters and film critics, how many real audiences do you think there are left?" Jude asked rhetorically.

"Who is the real audience who will come to the festival to see the film?"

At the end of the meeting, Shay White, who was standing at the door of the theater to be interviewed by reporters, had already noticed the arrival of the two.

"Look, our Mr. Director is here!"

This greeting from a long distance shifted the attention of the reporters at the entrance of the theater to Jude and Leete.

Ignoring the stunned reporter in front of him, Shay walked straight over.

"I'm waiting for you!"

Shay and Jude hugged each other, then nodded at Li Jie and said hello.

At this time, the reporters had already reacted and surrounded one after another.

"Okay, let me officially introduce you to Mr. Jude Locke, the director of "This Man is from Earth", I think you should be familiar with him."

Originally, a few people among the reporters had recognized Jude's identity, but they were not sure, because his image at the moment was completely different from the decadence when he was arrested and imprisoned half a year ago, but after Shay's introduction, everyone's faces showed an expression of sudden realization.

There was no need for Shay to hint further, someone had already begun to impatiently hand the microphone to Jude.

"I don't know if I should call you Mr. Locke or Director Locke, I mean you weren't an actor before? Why did you suddenly think of becoming a film director? ”

"You know I've been shooting since I was a kid, but since I was 14 I've met some really bad directors, so a lot of times I've been thinking, 'Why can't I do what these guys can do?'"

As soon as Jude opened his mouth, the news broke out, and the eyes of the reporters in front of him lit up, but Li Te, who was standing next to him, couldn't help frowning.

"Mr. White, Jude can't have agreed with you beforehand, right?"

"You're Jude's agent, what do you say?" Shay still had that flat smile on his face, and the words he said made Li Te's teeth itch a little.

At present, he has not officially left the CAA, nor has he signed a formal brokerage contract with Jude, so he is not technically Jude's agent.

Of course, Leet didn't plan to tell Shay White this, in a sense that the two are still in a hostile relationship, or that the agent and the studio are natural rivals.

"Isn't Mr. White worried that Jude's doing so would have a detrimental effect on the film's publicity?" Leeter continued to quietly test Shay's tone.

"If Mr. Ovitz had been standing next to me, he wouldn't have asked that." Shay glanced at the Chinese beside him with a little regret, "What do you think Jude should say?" told reporters that he has always been very interested in being a film director, look at what he did before, the ghost will believe this, and now he will offend many people when he says this, but at least this point of view is easy for everyone to accept, so that the initiative of public opinion is in their own hands, which is the most important thing. ”

"It's just for the promotion of the film, and I don't see any benefit for him personally." Leeter retorted.

Shay smiled and replied: "Although you are very dutiful, I think your thinking may still stay from the perspective of a star agent, don't forget that Jude is now a director, and a good work represents his image, and what kind of person he is is is not as important as you think." ”

These words silenced Little, while the reporter's interview with Jude became more and more lively.

"Mr. Locke, did you think of becoming a director because you couldn't do it as an actor?"

"You should ask James Cameron this question, hey, Mr. Cameron, did you think of 'Terminator' because you couldn't do it anymore as a truck driver, and I think his answer would be interesting."

Jude cleverly changed the subject and avoided talking about himself as an actor.

"It took you less than a month to make this film after your release, which means that you were already working on it while you were in prison?"

"When you're locked in an iron cage and you can't do anything, your mind will naturally start to think about it over time, and in this case either you're mentally ill or you're going to get some really good ideas, and the inspiration for this movie came out of nowhere when I was reading a magazine in the prison library."

Jude originally wanted to find a reasonable explanation for the inspiration for his movie, but a reporter seized the loophole in his words and asked rhetorically.

"In other words, it's possible that your movie was made when you were not in your right mind?"

Jude was stunned for a moment, ordinary people would be angry when they encounter such a problem, but he didn't.

"If you say that, I suddenly want to know if you think it's good after watching this movie, will you suspect that you have a mental problem, and then go to see a psychiatrist?"
