Jude looked at the UK's number one action actor for the first time, and unlike the muscular bald head image in his memory, Jason Statham is now thin and strong, with thick and long hair without any signs of baldness.

After the other party approached, Jude took the initiative to reach out his hand: "Hello, I'm Jude Locke." ”

"Hello, just call me Jason."

Jason Statham looked up and down at the current director, who is said to be seven years younger than him, and only felt that this kid was very handsome, and he couldn't see any frizz related to his age, but gave people a very calm feeling.

"Mr. Gao De should have told you what I was here for, but I heard that your coach was against this, is that true?"

"They do have some disagreements on this matter, including myself, who is still hesitant to listen to which of them." Jason didn't hide his thoughts.

"Want to hear my opinion?" Jude asked, looking at Jason.

"Maybe." Jason pouted and replied noncommittally.

"You probably haven't heard of me in the UK, I've been an actor since I was eight years old and I've acted in a lot of films, including 'Imp Elf,' and I'm sure you've seen it."

Jason's eyes lit up, "That's right, I was fourteen years old, I just started diving training, and I went to watch this movie with my brother at that time, and I really didn't expect you to be the little boy in it!" ”

Jude didn't see any smugness on his face, and said calmly: "At that time, I also felt that I could become a successful actor, just like you always thought that you could achieve something in diving, but it turned out that I was wrong, everyone liked me when I was a child, and when I grew up, I quickly encountered the same predicament as all child stars, and I tried hard to transform, but I was not recognized by the audience, which made me very painful, and then I started to drink heavily, drive cars, and indulge in every way, In the end, he managed to send himself to prison. ”

Jason wanted to sympathize with Jude's plight at the moment, but seeing that Jude didn't show any discomfort on his face, he quickly gave up on this plan.

And although Kate heard Jude mention this unbearable past to Oprah the last time she participated in "Oprah's Talk Show", Jude used this as an example at this moment, which still surprised her.

"In prison, I began to reflect on what I had done in the past, and finally realized that it was not that I didn't work hard enough, but that I was going in the wrong direction from the beginning. I tried hard to get recognized, but I didn't have to be an actor to achieve this, so I made my first film after I got out of prison, and although it didn't make it to the public, it sold well in the home video market. The film helped the studio make money, solved my financial problems, and gave me the opportunity to continue making new films. I'm not telling you this to show how great a director I am, just to say that sometimes you can't succeed in a certain field, not because you didn't work hard enough, but because you chose the wrong direction. ”

Jason fell into deep thought because of these words, and Kate on the side looked at Jude with a different look in her eyes than before.

"You're trying to tell me that what I used to think was wrong and that I shouldn't have practiced diving at all?" Jason asked quickly.

"Did I just say that I regretted that I shouldn't have been an actor before? No, I just said that simply being an actor didn't give me the success and recognition I imagined, so I should be a director now. When you find yourself going in the wrong direction, stopping is an improvement. Jude said and glanced at Jason, "And it's not a complete waste that you've been a diver for so many years, at least you've exercised a good figure, and the experience of modeling and shooting commercials in the past few years should have made you realize how much having such a body will help your future career." ”

"That's why you're coming to me?"

"Or what do you think? If I need acting skills, I can go to a professional actor, so why bother to find a diver like you who is just a part-time model? ”

Jude said this, although it was a bit shocking, but it was the truth.

Jason was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

"If that's all there is to it, you go to the gym and you'll find someone better than me."

"I'm not making that kind of movie, what's the use of looking for guys who want to train their brains together into muscles?" Jude asked rhetorically.

Jason didn't speak, but he didn't seem convinced.

"Well, there is another reason I didn't want to say, this time I want to ask you to play a kind of gangster who is very common on the streets of London, and before that, I did some research on your family background, your mother is a dancer, your father is a singer, and they later turned to the 'street theater' business, you have been with them since you were a child, and you know a lot about the doorways inside, which will help you a lot to play this role well."

Hearing that Jude had actually investigated the details of his parents, Jason Statham's pupils suddenly retracted, and the whole person began to be vigilant.

"I don't know what you're talking about, my parents are doing legal business."

Knowing that Jason was lying, Jude shook his head and said it didn't matter.

"I just said that these are not the point, the point is that I want you to know that I don't have any ill will towards you, I just want to make this movie well, that's all."

Jason's tense expression loosened slightly, but he remained wary of Jude.

"By the way, in addition to inviting you to star in my new film this time, I also invited your good friend Winnie Jones, I know that the two of you grew up together, but then he chose to play football and you chose to dive."

Jude's words finally moved Jason Statham.

"You mean really?"

Jude smiled and said, "Actually, before coming here, I just came out of Selhurst Park, and there was a Wimbledon game today, so you should know better than me, right?" ”

"So you've already met Pooh?"

"Not yet, I went to watch the game, but unfortunately he didn't play today, but I'm going to try my luck later in the bar he frequents."

Jude told the truth, and this point won Jason Statham's favor.

"I'll think about making a movie again, if you're free tonight, you can come out and have a drink together, Pooh and I are here, you know the location."

Jude pointed his hand at Jason, "Then it's decided!" ”

After saying hello to Ali Gold, who was standing there, Jude and Kate left first.

"What happened to Jason's parents running a street theater? I've never heard of it before. Kate couldn't help but ask about it as she went out.

Jude turned his head, his smile a little mysterious.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, street theaters are actually illegal private transactions, and in layman's terms, they are black markets."
