Chapter 117: Shield
Charlize's dissatisfaction with Litte is not only because the other party asked her to cooperate with Jude to act in order to create an affair, but also because of Leeter's temporary addition of the role for Patricia Arquette in "National Treasure".
In doing so, in addition to ostensibly explaining to Jude, Littlet could use the news of Nicolas Cage and Patricia Arquette to promote the film, as well as the intention of showing favor to Nicolas Cage and the Coppola family behind him.
It's understandable to do this from Leete's point of view, but after the role of Patricia Arquette was added, the role of Charlize as the heroine was further diluted a lot, originally this role only played the role of a vase in the movie, and the sense of presence was not strong, and now I have to worry about being robbed of the scene by others, no wonder Charlize is dissatisfied with Leeter.
When she first provoked this topic, Charlize wanted to use Jude to get revenge on Lee, but in the end, she herself unknowingly became Jude's tool against Leeter.
But in any case, the conversation on the plane did change Charlize's influence on Jude a little, but unfortunately this favor only lasted until she got the script for "The Seven Deadly Sins".
said that it was a script, but in fact it was just a page, and the text part just briefly described the situation and character identity of the scene, Charlize appeared in the whole scene for less than two minutes, and most of the time he was crying and wiping his tears and refusing to cooperate with the police's questioning, and the lines added up to less than ten sentences in total.
Charlize didn't want to put his own screen away. The female show wasted on such a simple role, so she decided to talk to Jude.
"I'm sorry, Miss Theron, you can't go in now, the crew has a very important scene to shoot today, and Director Locke doesn't want to be disturbed in any way at this time."
A staff member stopped at the door of the filming venue and stopped Charlize from letting her in.
"What about me?" A voice abruptly remembered behind the two.
Charlize turned around, and the staff member behind him had already called out the name of the person who had come.
"Good morning, Mr. White!"
"Who is this pretty young lady?" Shay White came to the crew on an impromptu basis, he was on a business trip to New York, and he thought he would stop by to see how far the film had progressed.
Unexpectedly, before I entered the set, I met a blonde beauty at the door.
"Charlize Theron, I have a role in this movie."
"Really?" While admiring Charlize's beauty, Shay-White asked curiously: "I know several of the main character candidates in this movie, and there doesn't seem to be Miss Theron in this." ”
"I just cameo in a very small role, which was arranged by my agent." Charlize already knew that the middle-aged man in front of him was Shay White, the president of New Line, and he became much more cautious in his speech.
"Who is your agent?" Shay was intrigued by Charlize, so he asked more.
"Ritter Lee."
Charlize said Lee's name, Shay was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the newspaper he had read this morning.
"You're the female model who was photographed walking with Jude at the Los Angeles airport yesterday? I thought it was fake news, but I didn't think it was. ”
"That's really fake news, and my agent will come out soon to clarify the matter." Charlize knew that the newspapers would publish photos of her and Jude at the airport this morning, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it.
After Shay learned that Charlize's agent was Leete, he knew that the whole thing was just a hype carefully planned by the other party, and this matter had little to do with the new line company, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" that was being filmed would also get more exposure because of this, so Shay did not continue to ask, but changed the topic.
"I wonder what kind of role Miss Theron plays in the movie?"
"The wife of the murdered lawyer."
Charlize's answer surprised Shay at first, but it made sense when you thought about it.
The main roles of "The Seven Deadly Sins" have been determined before the start of filming, and the rest are just some inconspicuous small roles, and it is good that Jude can find such a role for Charlize that can leave a little impression on the audience.
Of course, in front of Charlize, Shay wouldn't have said that.
"I know that role, it's a shame that Miss Theron plays this. I have a horror movie on my hands, and if Miss Theron is interested, I can give Ritter a call and I'm sure he'll not refuse. ”
Disney hasn't released any information about "National Treasure" yet, so Shay White didn't know that Charlize would soon star in an action-adventure movie with an investment of more than $60 million, or he would definitely not have said the above words, and he was so confident.
If it weren't for that conversation with Jude on the plane, Charlize would definitely reject Shay White directly at this time, and it is precisely because of Jude's "teaching" that Charlize's method of dealing with this matter is not so simple.
"As long as Mr. White can convince my agent, I don't have any problems personally."
"National Treasure" is about to start filming, and Litte will definitely help Charlize stop this matter, so of course the things that offend people are left to the agent to do.
Shay was very pleased with Charlize's "intellectual" performance, and immediately offered to take her in after learning the reason why she was blocked from the set.
"Mr. White, a very important scene is being filmed inside, and Director Locke has explained that no visits are allowed during filming."
"Don't forget that I'm also the executive producer of the crew, I'm going to check on the filming on set, so you're going to stop me?" Shay glared at the obstructive staff member with some annoyance.
"No, no, of course you can go in, and I'm sure Director Locke won't mind, but the scene being filmed inside is very special, and I'm worried that Mr. White will be a little uncomfortable after watching the scene." The other party reminded very tactfully.
Shay frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What scene is being filmed inside?" ”
The staff member gave Charlize a hesitant look, and finally told Shay the answer.
"The crew is filming the scene of 'Glutton'."
Shay's face immediately changed after hearing this, and he actually had some intention of repenting.
"Miss Theron, are you really sure you want to go in with me? This movie tells the story of a psychopathic serial killer, so some scenes can be uncomfortable to watch. ”
Charlize looked at Shay who said these words with some surprise, and the idea of going in and taking a look was more determined than before.
In the end, Shay gave in to Charlize's pleading eyes and agreed to take her in.
