Chapter 43: What's Next?

At a hot drink shop near Selhurst Park, Jude and Kate pushed the door and walked out, each with a cup of coffee in their hands.

"It seems that your experience in less than half a day in London has been much richer than I imagined."

Kate wore a long-sleeved knitted sweater today, jeans and brown riding boots, simple and elegant but elegant.

Jude held the glass door with one hand, waiting for Kate to go out before letting go.

"At first my plan was to try my luck on this side of the pitch, but I ended up sitting inside and watching the ball for a while and getting to know a Wimbledon fan."

The two walked side by side on the street, and although they could hail a taxi with a raised hand, no one did.

Both of them enjoy the time they have alone like this and don't want to spoil it easily.

"Are you really looking for Winnie Jones to do this movie?"

"You should think the other way around, it's a pity not to look for him to play this movie, he was born to play such a role."

Kate brought her coffee to her lips with both hands, but stopped when she heard Jude's words.

"The problem is that Pooh Jones doesn't necessarily feel the same way you do."

Jude paused to look at Kate, "Trust me, he's going to be interested in the role." ”

Pooh Jones is seen by others as a football villain, representing barbarism and vulgarity, but Jude knows the other side of Pooh Jones. In April 1997, Wimbledon officially released an album called "Fight Like a Team", which included 13 singles, four of which were sung by Jones. The following year, Jones himself released a blues and soul album called "Respect", which became a popular talk. It can be seen that although this guy is a cold-blooded and brutal villain on the court, he loves literature and art in his daily life.

Showy and expressive, this is enough for Jude.

"Well, even if Winnie Jones says yes, you seem to be overlooking one thing." Kate didn't say what was going on right away, just kept walking, "Winnie Jones is still playing for Wimbledon, you have to get permission from there to make a movie for him, and then there's the English Football Association, they may not want to see Winnie Jones run away as a player to make a movie, and there may be more trouble then." ”

Jude paused and thought for a moment, already having the answer in his mind.

"Just convince Jones that he can make a name for himself on the club side! It's nothing more than that the crew has to ensure that the filming will not affect his training and games, which is not a difficult thing, as for the FA, if they want to punish Jones, it's a big deal that the crew will pay this fine for Jones. ”

Two years ago, Pooh Jones appeared on the BBC's documentary "Soccer Tough Guy" without consent and was fined £20,000 by the FA for breaking another record in English football.

With such a criminal record, Jude believes the FA's punishment is not binding on Pooh Jones at all.

Kate has reservations about this matter, she always feels that Jude will cause some unnecessary trouble for the crew by doing this, but as a good friend, she can only go so far.

After that, neither of them spoke again, and walked a long block unconsciously.

Eventually, Jude, who was on the side of the roadway, stopped and reached out to stop a taxi.

Before getting into the car, Kate leaned on the door and asked, "Where are we going next?" ”

"I thought I should have asked you first."

Jude smiled and helped Kate close the door and got into the car from the other side.

Kate blinked her beautiful eyes, and Jude was slightly stunned when she looked back.

"So I'll arrange the rest?"

"Although I would like to do this too, I also asked another person to meet, and in order to apologize, I will invite you to today's dinner, of course, you have the final say on which restaurant to go to."

Kate burst out laughing, for some reason, she always felt relaxed when she was with Jude.

"If I don't tell me which restaurant to go to, are you sure you'll find something to eat in London?"

Jude shrugged back and said, "A hot dog on the street isn't bad either, if you don't mind using it for dinner." ”

Kate stopped laughing and said, "Okay, okay, stop kidding, tell Mr. Driver where you're going!" ”

Jude took out a London tourist map from his trench coat pocket and pointed to an area circled with a pen on it: "Crystal Palace Park in West Damham, let's go to this place." ”

The front driver glanced back at Kate, and his expression seemed to ask where are you really going?

Kate asked the driver not to drive yet, and she checked again.

"Why go there? The real Crystal Palace was destroyed by fire in 1936, and now there are only a few ruins left there, nothing to see. ”

"Because the map shows that the National Sports Centre is nearby, and I happened to meet there."

As soon as Jude explained this, Kate immediately understood, and without her command, the driver in the front row simply started the car.

On the way back on, Kate couldn't help but ask about it again.

"The next actor you're looking for is also an athlete?"

"Rest assured, I'm not going to pack up all the athletes in the UK, and the next person I'm going to find is in a much better situation than Winnie Jones, who doesn't have a bad reputation and started the industry earlier, was discovered by his agent four years ago and became a model for a British fashion brand, and starred in a few commercials during that time."

Kate had tried to persuade Jude to spend more time with professional actors, but Jude said so, and she also became interested in the unknown athlete.

The topic was miserated by Jude.

"Is this person famous?"

"He is hardly known compared to Winnie Jones, having been with the British diving team for 12 years, with his best result being 12th place at the World Diving Championships in 1992."

"And how did you know about him? Don't tell me you're interested in diving in addition to football. Kate looked at Jude with sparkling eyes and a look of curiosity.

"I saw a picture of him in a magazine, and then I tried to contact his agent, and that's the guy we're going to meet when we get there." Jude explained.

"I thought you'd go to him personally."

"I want to do that too, but only if someone can take me into the National Sports Center, do you think there is a more suitable person besides his agent?"

Kate tilted her head and thought about it, but finally didn't say anything more.
