Chapter 52: Response
Rushing to the crew's station, Kate found that the situation here was not as bad as she imagined.
The crew was constantly moving all kinds of props downstairs, the makeup artists were in the hallway helping the actors put the finishing touches on their makeup, and everyone was doing something on their hands, and it didn't seem to be disturbed by what happened last night.
"You're Lucy, aren't you? Come with me, I have your two scenes today, and there is not much time left for you to put on makeup. A fat man with glasses mistook Kate for another actor on the set, beckoned a makeup artist to prepare to style Kate.
"I'm sorry, I'm not the Lucy you said, I'm a friend of Jude, and I'm looking for him for something." Kate explained.
"You're looking for Director Locke?" The fat man who had mistaken the subject looked at Kate with his glasses, then pointed to an office not far behind him, "You can find him there." ”
Kate said thank you and walked to Jude's office door and was about to knock on the door when the fat man suddenly stopped her from behind.
"Aren't you really Lucy? I mean, you're looking good, and if you want, Lucy's role would have been yours. ”
"I'm sorry, I'm really not Lucy, and I'm not interested in that character you're talking about." Kate replied with a very serious look at the other party.
The fat man shrugged his shoulders and said to himself, "Well, you can come to me as long as you change your mind before that real Lucy arrives on the set, and by the way, I'm Sam Harris, the casting director of the crew." ”
"Nice to meet you." Kate took the initiative to shake Sam's hand, then pointed to Jude's office door and asked, "Can I go in now?" ”
"Of course!" Sam made a gesture of please, a subtle hint of disappointment flashing in his eyes. He was now finally sure that Kate had really come to Jude, otherwise he wouldn't have been so indifferent when he just said his position on the set, he knew too well the minds of actresses who were eager to become famous, and in some cases it would be more useful to approach the casting director in the crew than to approach the director.
Kate knocked on the door, and Jude's voice was heard inside.
"Please come in!"
Kate was about to reach for the lock when Sam, who hadn't walked away yet, whispered, "The director is in a bad mood today, I don't know why, but you better be careful." ”
Kate smiled and nodded her head in acknowledgement and pushed the door into the office.
Jude was answering the phone when he looked up and saw Kate walking in, slightly stunned.
Ignoring the phone that was still on the phone, he put down the phone and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?" ”
"Your movie officially started filming today, can't I congratulate you?" Kate walked in and placed her bag on the table beside her.
"You should bring a gift with you, it will be more convincing."
Joudra sat Kate in a chair and walked over to close the office door.
Sam, who was peeking at the situation here, was so frightened that he quickly turned around, secretly thinking that he was lucky that he hadn't hinted at Kate just now, otherwise he would have been unlucky now.
Jude didn't notice Sam's small movements, and after closing the door, he apologized and pointed to Kate's phone that rang again, motioning for her to wait.
"Mr. White, there is something about what happened last night, I have explained it clearly enough to you just now, the 200,000 bail will be able to be recovered in two days when the court opens, as for the impact of this incident on the crew, I admit that it happened a little suddenly, but if you look at it from another angle, this is not a loss for us, on the contrary, it also lets more people know about the existence of this movie. I think what's worse than being infamous is that no one cares about you at all, and that's the saddest thing. ”
Shay-White on the other end of the phone almost didn't throw the microphone away, he'd seen a lot of tough guys, but none of them were more shameless than Jude now.
"Don't play the trick of diverting the topic, I just want to ask you, if something like this happens, what will happen to the movie promotion later? Are you sure the audience will go to see a movie performed by a guy who beats up his neighbor? ”
"The movie itself is about violent crime, is there anything wrong with finding a villain to play it?" Jude's patience was wearing off, and he had made it clear, but Shay was holding on to the question.
"Then you can explain to the British media yourself, tell them what you think, and see if they can accept it." Shay rudely interrupted Jude's words, this time the matter was a bit big, and it had even reached the parent company Turner Group, where a high-level executive even called to ask about it personally, so Shay now just wants to settle this matter as soon as possible, no matter what method is used.
"In three days, I'll let this matter settle down completely. One more thing, stop calling me non-stop, I came to England to make movies, not to listen to you teach me! After saying that, Jude hung up the phone, not giving Shay any face.
Kate looked at Jude with some concern, "Are you sure it's really okay to talk to the producer like this?" ”
Jude threw his phone aside, sat back in his chair and said, "Don't worry, as long as the movie doesn't mess up, no matter how bad my attitude is, he can't do anything about me." ”
"I saw the news on TV this morning, but when I got to the crew, I found that it wasn't affected at all, so I was relieved, and I'm sure you will be able to handle it."
Kate explained why she was here, and got up to grab her bag and get ready to leave.
Jude was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Kate to leave so soon.
"Why?"
"Aren't you going to shoot soon? I'm only going to interfere with your work if I stay, and I have my own things to do, good luck! ”
Kate smiled brightly and turned to open the door.
Jude grabbed Kate in front of the door, looked her in the eye and asked, "I think you have something else to tell me." ”
"What?" Kate deliberately made a very puzzled look, but her heart fluttered.
"It seems that I really guessed it, you must have something to hide from me, or you haven't even made up your mind about this matter." Jude leaned his hands against the back of the door and looked at Kate like that.
Kate lowered her head in a bit of a panic, her lips clenching and not knowing what to do with the situation.
"This has something to do with Mike Sheen?" Jude tried to ask.
Kate nodded a little tangled and told the contents of the morning call with Mike Sheen.
Jude struggled to think back to the movies Kate had starred in in another time and space before she went to Hollywood, and then remembered something very important.
"If you like this movie, I will definitely not stop it, after all, being able to become the heroine of a movie will be of great help to your acting career in the future, but there is a problem I hope you can think carefully before making a decision after encountering it."
Jude's expression suddenly became serious, Kate hadn't seen him have such an expression just now, and she couldn't help but be a little curious.
"What?"
"If the other party tells you that there is nudity in the play. Lu's shots, I hope you refuse such a request, or just give up the film. ”
Kate was stunned when she heard this, she never thought that Jude's request was actually in this regard.
"You might think I'm a bit conservative when I say that, basically all the actresses who have become famous have been naked in movies. Exposed to the mirror experience but that doesn't mean naked. Dew is a necessity for fame, and I don't want to interfere too much with your choices, I just don't want this to happen to you. ”
Jude explained a lot of things that even he thought were superfluous, and finally he really didn't know what to say, so he stepped out of the way and helped Kaitra open the office door.
"Locke!"
Before leaving, Kate suddenly called out to Jude, who had already turned around, and stepped forward to give him a sudden hug.
"Thank you."
The two bodies parted, and Kate pulled away.
At this moment, Jude finally determines that he really likes this girl, and vows to chase her down.
