Jude ordered a shut-up, and the crash between "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Extraordinary Suspects" has not yet spread widely in the crew, but soon everyone found that Jude became a little different from before on the set.

In the rest of the scenes, Jude became more stern than before, giving people the feeling that he was fighting against himself, and as if he was venting some kind of pressure.

Denzel Washington and Hopkins both tacitly accepted Jude's approach of putting pressure on themselves and others, and the crew had no opinion on either of them, so they could only accept this reality.

Hopkins stayed on the crew for ten days, coming quietly and leaving quietly, without attracting any attention from anyone outside the crew.

The daily scene between Jude and Kate was filmed very smoothly, especially after Kate intervened in the performance, Jude's whole person slowly relaxed, and he no longer tensed himself as before.

This part of the scene does not occupy a large proportion of the whole movie, and the highlight is the part where Kate invites Denzel to dinner at home.

Jude deliberately pressed this scene to the end, and the crew could be disbanded on the spot after filming the whole scene.

Kate made sufficient preparations for the filming of this scene, and even the food on the table during filming was prepared by herself, and this scene was filmed at dinner time, and the three leading actors could solve the problem of eating together while filming.

Of course, the actual shooting was not so easy, because it involved shooting from multiple angles, and the scene of more than five minutes was filmed for three hours before it ended.

With the food on the table that had not yet been touched, everyone made a fuss about the champagne that had been prepared for a long time to celebrate.

Denzel walked up to Jude with a glass of champagne, and the people next to him moved a certain distance in amusement. Leave room for the two to talk.

"Will the discussion about homosexuality in this scene be cut out in the official version?"

"I'll cut out two versions. The discussion of homosexuality in the scene just now, the scene where Charlize asks you to help me revise it, and the ending where he is shot by a sniper in Mills will be cut into one version, and the other version will be cut according to the previous script. I guess the new line company will only choose the latter as the official release, and the previous version will only appear in the videotape. ”

"As long as it doesn't disappear." Denzel shrugged and understood.

Jude took a sip of wine, smacked his lips and said: "You can rest assured about this, now the new line company is mainly worried about the box office results of this movie, so it will choose a less controversial version to be released, if the movie has a chance to be released a second time in the future, the audience will definitely see the previous version." ”

"What are you talking about?" Kate came over with a bottle of champagne and poured Jude and Denzel herself.

"Talking about your beauty, of course." Denzel made a rare joke about Kate and Jude's relationship. After toasting the two of them, he took his glass and went to another place.

Jude took the bottle from Kate's hand and put it aside, put his arm around her waist and bowed his head and kissed her.

After the kiss, Kate put her arms around Jude's neck and asked about the collision between "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Usual Suspects".

"Is there another problem between you and Ritter, why didn't he tell you directly about it, but conveyed it through me?"

Jude shrugged regretfully and told Kate the bad news.

"You'll have to get used to things like this in the future, because it's going to be the norm for me and Ritat to communicate with me in the future."

"Why?" Kate was very incomprehensible.

"Because people change, I'm no longer the one I used to be when I just got out of prison. With only $30,000 on him, and Ritter is not the rookie agent who just left CAA and doesn't have a single artist, there will definitely be more and more disagreements between us. Of course, we both know what the bottom line of the other side is, so as long as there is no big difference in goals, we will continue to work together like this. ”

"What about us?"

"We?" Jude didn't expect Kate's thinking to be so out-of-the-box. After being stunned, he comforted: "Of course we are also changing, and now everyone calls you Miss Beckinsale." The future may be Mrs. Locke. ”

Kate pressed a finger against Jude's mouth.

"I didn't promise to marry you!"

Jude's hand on Kate's waist moved down dishonestly, threatening, "Are you sure?" ”

"Alright. I'm not kidding you, you haven't answered my original question yet! Kate broke free from Jude's arms, and her face returned to her serious expression.

"Okay, get down to business." Jude shrugged helplessly, his mind racing for information about the movie "The Usual Suspects" in his memory.

This movie starring Kevin Spacey is really similar to "The Seven Deadly Sins", not only in terms of the theme of the movie, which is more pessimistic and violent than the average police movie, to show the criminal activities in modern urban life, and expound the profound theme, but even the story structure is somewhat similar, all of which start with a murder, the direction of the police investigation is led into a misunderstanding at the beginning, and the ending is suddenly reversed.

In terms of thematic profundity, "The Extraordinary Suspects" is better, otherwise it would not have won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay next year, but when it comes to the subtlety of the plot and the unexpected reversal of the ending, "The Seven Deadly Sins" is much more than "The Extraordinary Suspects", so in Jude's memory, two movies with almost investment, one won more than 100 million box office after its release, and the other only got 28 million box office, the gap is very obvious.

But now that neither movie has been released, Jude certainly can't use that as a reason to convince Kate.

"Actually, the advantage of our side is still obvious. First of all, in terms of casting, only Kevin Spacey has more box office appeal among the starring actors of "The Usual Suspects", and the others are not very famous, while we have Denzel on our side, Anthony Hopkins, and of course I can be counted, if it weren't for the years in the middle, my current fame should not be much worse than Kevin Spacey. ”

"It's a pity that there are no ifs, and now your fame is really not as good as Kevin Spacey."

Kate told the truth in one sentence, which made it difficult for Jude to continue bragging about it.

"Well, let's make a different comparison, Denzel or Kevin Spacey, who has more fame and box office appeal?"

"Denzel, of course." Kate replied without hesitation.

"So who is more famous than me and the remaining leading actors of "The Extraordinary Suspects"?"

Kate hesitated for a moment, and finally had to admit that Jude's current fame, if not as good as Kevin Spacey, is still greater than the remaining leading actors of "The Usual Suspects" combined.

Of course, if it is about acting skills, the other party may be better than Jude if he picks one out at random.

"Don't forget Anthony Hopkins, and with his words, the cast of our film has taken over the absolute advantage." Jude continued.

Kett nodded, motioning for Jude to continue.

"Comparing the director and the screenwriter, the director of "The Extraordinary Suspect" is Brian Singh, who should be considered very young in the circle of directors at the age of thirty, but he has only made one film so far, and that movie is both box office and evaluation. I'm afraid it's hard to compare with "Two Big Smoking Guns", so I still win this game! ”

Jude spread his hands helplessly, his expression looking relaxed. I have the impression that Brian Singh's most famous deeds are directing the "X-Men" series of movies, and such an opponent is really not very strong.

In fact, the most depressing thing about this matter is Brayn Singh, who is already young and promising among Hollywood directors at his age, but he didn't expect a Jude Locke to suddenly appear, and in an instant Bryan Singh's proud age advantage became a joke, but this time the two of them also collided with the schedule, and the producer called him twice in three days to ask about the progress of the filming.

This approach is obviously a distrust of Brann Singh, but there is no way, judging from the various information released by the crew of "Seven Deadly Sins" so far, "Extraordinary Suspects" is indeed at a disadvantage.

The investment is only two-thirds of the other party's, and the starring actors do not have the other party's big names, the only thing that makes the producers feel fortunate is that the new line actually let Jude direct and act in the movie "Seven Deadly Sins".

Jude became famous as an idol child star, and acting has always been his shortcoming, even if Denzel Washington supports him, I am afraid it will not solve the problem of the fundamental surname.

And once he is caught up in acting, Jude will inevitably be distracted when directing the play, which will then drag down the quality of the whole movie.

Anyway, not many people believe that Jude can do a good job as a director while acting in "The Seven Deadly Sins".

The producer of "The Usual Suspect" is Columbia Samsung, but this company has nothing to do with South Korea's Samsung, its company is called Tri-Star, and it is an independent production company like New Line, which has been working with Colombia since its establishment in 70 years, and was acquired by Coca-Cola along with Columbia. Later, Sony acquired two companies from Coca-Cola in the late 80s to form Sony Pictures.

Although New Line and Warner Pictures belong to the same company, the two sides operate separately, so Columbia Samsung has a more obvious advantage in distribution channels in comparison, because it can directly use Sony Pictures' distribution channels, rather than the board of directors of the parent company in between, as New Line and Warner do.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two movies are so average, and who can win in the end when the schedules collide has become a topic of common concern for the media.
