Chapter 54: Reversal
Lisa pushed open the office door, "Mr. White, BBC News is airing a live interview with Director Locke, I think you need to take a look." ”
"What did you say?"
Shay-White immediately dropped what he was doing, picked up the remote control and turned on the TV and switched to the BBC news channel.
The television footage clearly showed that it was a street somewhere in London, and a beautiful blonde reporter was interviewing Jude.
"Mr. Locke, what do you think about the rumours that you're filming a new play in London featuring Wimbledon's Winnie Jones?"
The scene cuts to the front, and Jude shrugs his shoulders regretfully in front of the camera.
"It's not a rumor, I originally wanted to wait for a while before announcing the news, but now it seems that there is no need for that."
"Why?" The female reporter on the other side couldn't help but ask.
Jude frowned suspiciously, indicating that he didn't understand what the other party meant.
"Why did you ask Winnie Jones to star in this movie?"
"Is there anything wrong with Winnie Jones?"
Jude had an innocent and confused expression on her face, and she looked at the female reporter opposite Melissa and gritted her teeth.
She swore that Jude was absolutely deliberate, and the whole of Britain knew what kind of person Winnie Jones was, a villain who was rough on the pitch and caused trouble off the pitch, and that such a person was actually asked to make a movie, which was simply an international joke.
"Just last night, Mr. Locke bailed Pooh-Jones out of the police station, why did he get caught Mr. Locke, wouldn't he know?"
"Of course, Pooh had a verbal altercation with his neighbor, and Pooh assured me, the lawyer, and the police that he absolutely didn't do anything at the time, but his neighbor felt that his personal safety was threatened, so he called the police, and some people always like to make a big fuss, but in fact it was just a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?"
Melissa wanted to smash the microphone in Jude's face at the moment, obviously it was Winnie Jones who beat his neighbor, but it got into Jude's mouth, this guy actually became a victim, it's so shameless!
Taking a deep breath and telling herself to calm down, she asked, "So how does Mr. Jude explain what Winnie Jones tried to do to reporters after he came out of the police station?" ”
"Pooh was attacked by a reporter who tried to hit him in the head with the microphone, he just snatched the microphone and didn't do anything drastic, if you think you shouldn't resist after being attacked, then just take me what I just did."
Jude still looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and put all the blame on the reporter.
"It's a shame that you didn't be a lawyer for Winnie Jones, you should go and say this to the judge to see if the other side will take your word for it." Melissa said sarcastically.
"I hope the judge in charge of this case will see this interview, so that I don't have to go to the scene again and repeat what I just said when the trial starts." Jude winks humorously at the camera and shows a big smile.
Melissa was really angry and protested loudly, "Mr. Locke, please answer my question head-on. ”
"It felt like the judge was asking me questions, and if it weren't for the camera, I really doubt that I was standing in the courtroom at the moment." Jude chuckled.
The photographer put his hand on Melissa's shoulder and motioned for her to calm down, otherwise there was really no way to continue the interview.
"Mr. Locke, I still don't understand why you're filming Winnie Jones just because he's a villain?" Melissa asked with a deep sigh.
"Pooh is a great footballer and of course I know different people may have different opinions on that, but at least the Wimbledon fans will agree with me, and I believe that Pooh could be a great actor in the future, but I never said he was a good guy."
With a pop, Shay, who was drinking water in front of the TV, laughed directly.
Jude is so hateful, he said so many good things about Winnie Jones before, and then the style of painting suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and combined with the serious expression when he said this, it can really make people cry and laugh.
Melissa, who was holding the microphone in her hand, was in such a mood at the moment that she felt like she was about to be driven crazy by Jude.
"If Mr. Locke also knows that he is not a good man, why should he be asked to act in a movie? Don't tell you you didn't know about it until last night. ”
"Of course not, I found out about this problem early on, but it doesn't matter, because Pooh is playing a bad guy in my movie, and having a bad guy play a bad guy, do you think there's anything wrong with that?"
Melissa was completely dumbfounded, she had no idea that the truth of the matter would be like this.
Shay in front of the TV also didn't expect that although Jude had promised him on the phone that he would solve the problem in three days, he didn't believe Jude could actually do it until he saw this interview.
The screen cuts back to the show, and the host is about to comment on the live interview, when the screen suddenly goes black.
Lisa looked back just in time to see Shay put down the remote, just as he had turned off the TV.
"Mr. White, the news is not over yet, it may be ...... later"
"There's no need to look any further, the entire British media and me, have been tricked by Jude." Shay threw the remote aside, got up and walked to the window, "He asked Pooh Jones to play this movie, just to use him to attract the attention of the British media, and then increase the exposure of "Two Smoking Guns", what happened yesterday may have been unexpected for him, but it didn't hinder his plan, and even helped him." ”
"So the crew won't have any trouble?" Lisa's mind still couldn't turn this corner for a while.
"What's the trouble? Everyone thinks that Pooh Jones is playing a decent role in the movie, so that everyone has a reason to attack the movie, but now Pooh Jones is playing a villain, and the media can't find a place to attack it, so they are completely promoting "Two Big Smoking Guns" for free. ”
After listening to Shay's explanation, Lisa was stunned.
After a long time, she moved her lips and asked with difficulty: "Then we don't have to do anything, just look at it?" ”
"Of course not." Shay turned from the floor-to-ceiling window, "Since Jude wants to make a fuss about this, then let's help him and contact a few newspapers that have a good relationship with us, so that they can track and report on this matter." A football player with a bad reputation plays the villain of the movie, and then turns Jude's previous things out and hypes it up, which will definitely attract the attention of many people. ”
