Chapter 121: Tough
It was easy to find the rooftop needed for the shoot, and in just one day, the set designer Walker found several suitable places and took photos to bring back to Jude for reference.
"That's it!"
Jude pulled one out of the photo and handed it back to Walker.
At this moment, another staff member walked up.
"Sir, the bedroom is ready, and the photographer asks when can the shooting start?"
"I'll go right over." Jude stuffed the rest of the photos back into Walker's hand and strode towards the shooting site.
At the door, he was stopped by a makeup artist.
"No, no, Mr. Walker, you can't do that."
Jude subconsciously touched his face, "Damn, did my makeup take on again?" ”
"Uh-huh." The makeup artist shrugged helplessly at him, then pulled him aside and began to urgently touch up his makeup.
"How's it going?" While putting on makeup, Jude was still concerned about the shooting.
The makeup artist explained, "Miss Theron is ready, Mr. Washington has just arrived, and now it's time for you." ”
Jude took a deep breath and shut his mouth to stop disturbing the makeup artist's work.
Two minutes later, the other person took two steps back and looked his "masterpiece" up and down.
"Alright."
Jude opened his eyes, took the mirror handed by the other party and glanced at it hurriedly, then turned and entered the room.
Theron was dressed in a gold bare-shouldered gown, sitting on a silk bed, a page of script in his hand, memorizing lines while Denzel Washington was talking to photographer Ayman Ruhr.
Seeing Jude come in, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at it together.
Jude glanced at everyone, "Filming will officially start in five minutes, is there any problem?" ”
No one answered, and Jude looked at Charlize with satisfaction.
"Miss Theron, come with me."
Charlize put down the script and followed Jude to the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom with her skirt in hand.
"This dress is beautiful."
Jude glanced at Charlize with a beautiful face, thinking that he was worthy of a natural clothes rack, and he looked full of aura in whatever clothes he wore.
Charlize was a little overwhelmed by this sudden compliment, but fortunately Jude didn't make her puzzled for too long, and then said: "I believe you have got the revised script, I hope you haven't forgotten the previous script because of this, simply say that this scene will be filmed into two different versions, and it's not sure which one will be used in the final editing, so don't think about only playing the version you like, the previous version can be fooled around, this time you met Denzel, he was persuaded by you, But do you think you'll have that much luck next time? ”
"I have a question." Charlize's charming blue eyes stared at Jude like this, "Is it because I persuaded Mr. Washington that you had to revise the script, that is why you warned me like this?" ”
"It's smart that you go to Denzel, but not all directors are as forgiving as I am." Jude glanced at Charlize meaningfully before leaving, "As a piece of advice from a friend, it doesn't mean anything else!" ”
Charlize was still pondering the meaning of Jude's words when a familiar voice suddenly interrupted her.
"Did I miss something just now?"
Litt appeared on the set in a suit and leather shoes, still carrying a briefcase in his hand, and looked over here with a smile.
"What are you doing here?" Jude glanced at Litt suspiciously, standing still and not stepping forward to greet him.
"Originally, I wanted to call Kate to come over, but she said that her drama would not officially start filming until a few days away, so she didn't have to be so into the crew, so I came alone." Litt shrugged and replied in a relaxed tone.
Jude interrupted angrily, "You know that's not what I'm asking. ”
"Okay." Li Teh pursed his lips, "Actually, I'm here mainly to help you solve your troubles, I heard that you and Shay had a big fight on the phone yesterday?" ”
"So he came to you to convince me?" Jude's eyes immediately froze.
"The only person in this world who can really convince you is yourself, and I believe you know this better than me." Li Tet didn't care about Jude's eyes looking at him, walked up to him and lowered his voice and said, "I'm not here to quarrel with you, can I talk about it alone?" ”
Without saying a word, Jude walked back to the corner where he had been talking to Charlize, and Leeter followed, giving Charlize a special look as he passed by.
Although very curious about the content of the conversation between the two, Charlize had to choose to leave with interest.
"I don't understand, why did you suddenly think to change the ending?"
"The idea came over the course of filming, and I felt that it would be in line with the theme of the film." Jude spoke in a general manner, and his tone was a little perfunctory.
Li Tet looked at Jude with a bit of a headache, and he didn't know how to persuade him.
"You think so, but it doesn't mean that the new line company also thinks it's a good idea, you know that they have made enough concessions on this movie, and you will force everyone to completely turn their faces by doing this."
Jude replied disapprovingly: "Since there have been a lot of concessions, will it be difficult to make any more concessions?" ”
"Well, let's not talk about anything else, just the thing itself, the idea you came up with, why bring Denzel Washington along? I don't think Shay can't accept your suggestion to revise the script, but he can't accept your behavior of putting pressure on the film company together with the leading actor of the film. ”
Li Te's persuasion was painstaking, but Jude pushed back with a word.
"I learned this trick from you."
"What did you say?"
Li Tee was completely stunned.
"Charlize go to Denzel, don't say it wasn't your idea for her." Jude glanced at Leeter, "You can get me to change my mind through Denzel, why can't I get New Line Company to change my mind through Denzel?" There is no difference between these two things in essence. ”
Leet shrugged helplessly, "Okay, you won." ”
Jude couldn't see any victorious expression on his face, and continued to say with a cold face: "You should know my character, filming two different versions of the ending is already a concession, go back and tell Shay White that there is no room for negotiation in this matter, if he still doesn't agree, I will persuade Anthony Hopkins to join the protest camp to see who compromises in the end!" ”
