Chapter 44: Meeting

After getting out of the car, Jude and Kate first took a walk around the Crystal Palace Park.

There were no people inside, and many of the trees were bare this season, and Jude felt a little desolate and even desolate along the way, and Jude finally understood why the taxi driver had the kind of look in his eyes when he heard that they were going here.

Jude stopped and looked at Kate apologetically, "I thought the scenery here would be beautiful, otherwise I wouldn't have let you come with me." ”

Kate shrugged indifferently, "I promised to be your guide, and it's not as bad as you say, at least the air is fresh." ”

Jude helped Kate straighten the scarf around her neck and added, "The main thing is that there is a beautiful lady by her side, and no matter how bad the scenery is, you can't see enough." ”

Kate's cheeks were slightly red, and she subconsciously avoided Jude's eyes looking at her.

"It's almost time, let's go meet the agent you said."

Jude felt a little regretful in his heart, knowing that Kate was deliberately changing the subject, but he still nodded.

The two walked towards the stadium of the sports center together, and when they were about to reach the door, a short and fat middle-aged man on the opposite side quickly greeted them.

"Mr. Locke, is it?"

He reached out enthusiastically, but his eyes kept looking at Kate beside Jude.

"I'm guessing you're Mr. Ali Gaude, it's a pleasure to meet here." Jude shook hands with the other party, then deliberately but paused when introducing Kate, looked at the other party rather playfully, and said, "Mr. Golde seems to be interested in my female companion?" ”

"Don't get me wrong, Mr. Locke, I don't mean to offend this young lady, I just think that her excellent appearance is enough to be a model or an actress, I wonder if she has any thoughts about this?" Ali Gaude said and glanced at Kate a few more times.

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Mr. Gold, because Miss Beckinsale is now an official actress."

Looking at Ali Gaude's disappointed look, Jude felt a sense of satisfaction that his prank had succeeded.

Kate couldn't stand it anymore, took the initiative to shake hands with Ali Gaude, and introduced herself.

Ali Gaude took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Kate, "Miss Beckinsale If you are considering changing agents, please be sure to contact me, I know a lot of film directors, and I will definitely be able to give you more help and more professional services in career development." ”

Seeing this, Jude couldn't help but joke: "Mr. Gaode only sends business cards to ladies, why doesn't he ask me?" ”

Ali Gaude shook his head with a smile and said, "Mr. Locke, don't be kidding, I've already learned how powerful your agent is. ”

"So, you've already negotiated Jason's salary?"

"Twenty thousand pounds, which is a bit low to be honest, but considering that Mr. Locke's film will be of great help to Jason's future development, I agreed."

Locke nodded, he left everything about the actor's salary to Li Te, which made Li Te now complain that he is about to become half of the producer of "Two Big Smoking Guns".

"So what does Jason himself think about this?"

"I've talked to him before, and he's not averse to making movies, but his coach has always been against him putting his mind on something other than diving, and if this guy jumps out to stop him, Jason might change his mind."

On the way to the swimming pool at the sports complex, Ali Gaude told Jude more about Jason Statham.

Since joining the British diving team, Jason has spent all his spare time on the springboard, choosing the 3-meter board and the 10-meter platform to complete a lot of training tasks every day. Continuing to train day in and day out has made him improve rapidly. Of course, Jason's progress was also due to the careful guidance of his mentor Kim White, who recruited him into the British diving team in 1985, and in 1988 he participated in the selection for the Seoul Olympics, but did not perform well in the competition and was not selected. At the 1990 Commonwealth Games in Auckland, New Zealand, he competed in the one-meter and three-meter springboard competitions, but only finished eleven. It was also at that competition that I found out that he had a good image, which is why I recommended him to take photos for print media and model for brands. ”

Kate suddenly said at this time: "You can't actually blame him, the overall level of diving in the UK is like this." ”。

Jude, who was walking in front, and Ali Gaudet turned back together.

Finding that her words attracted unexpected attention, Kate hastened to add: "Every time the diving team loses a competition, the British newspapers say so. ”

Ali Gaude turned his head to look at Jude, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Miss Beckinsale is right, there is no future at all to continue to stay in the British diving team, and I have persuaded Jason many times for this, but he still has some concerns and does not want to leave. ”

Jude nodded knowingly.

"I'll talk to him when I get the chance, but I'm not sure it will come out."

Ali Gaude thanked them for this, and then continued to lead the two to the swimming pool.

As he entered, a tall, thin middle-aged man passed by and glared at him viciously.

Jude was only a little baffled before Ali Gaudet explained that he was the same Coach Kim White he had mentioned, who had now been promoted to deputy director of the British Diving Association and was said to be able to correct him soon.

Jason Statham was single-handedly cultivated by Kim White, and of course he didn't want talent to be lost in his own hands, and Ali Gauder has been encouraging Jason to leave, so he will naturally not have a good face in the eyes of Kim White.

After realizing that he was only implicated by Ali Gaude, Jude smiled and didn't take the matter to heart.

When the three of them came to the pool, they saw one person jump from a ten-meter platform and plunge into the water.

"Jason, can you come over for a moment?"

Ali Gaude beckoned to the young man who had just emerged from the water, and the other man quickly swam over.

After climbing up, he wiped his face with his hand, took the towel handed by Ali Gaode, and asked while wiping the water on his body, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"The movie I told you about last time, the director is over there, and he wants to talk to you."

Ali Gaude beaks out to Nunu on the other side where Jude and Kate are standing.

"Now?" Jason Statham stopped what he was doing and asked with some hesitation.

"Trust me, it won't delay you for too long, but it may make a huge difference in your life in the future." Ali Gaude agitated.

Jason Statham gave him a suspicious look, put down his towel and walked over to him.

I ask for collection, recommendation!
