After dinner at a French restaurant near Santa Monica Beach, Jude and Kate sat back in the car to get ready to return to the apartment.

Jude's driver's license has not been retaken since it was revoked earlier, so the person sitting in the driver's seat is Kate, who is fastening her seatbelt and about to light a lighter, when she suddenly hears the vibration of a mobile phone "buzzing" in the car.

"It's not me this time." Jude innocently raised his hands.

"I know." Kate took out her mobile phone from the bag in the back seat, frowned slightly, and said, "It's Ritter, what is he calling me for at this time?" ”

Jude shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

Kate answered the phone, and after listening to two sentences, her eyes lit up suddenly.

"An audition for the lead actress of a movie? Of course, I'm more than willing to try. ”

Jude pretended to look out of the car, but his ears kept an eye on Kate and Leet's call.

"Brad Pitt might play the male lead and then I play his wife? Oh my God, is this true? ”

Kate's tone became a little excited, but Jude frowned.

Originally, Kate should be happy for Jude when she received the new play, but for some reason, when she heard that she would play a husband and wife with Brad Pitt, Jude felt a little uncomfortable.

The other party is a famous handsome guy in Hollywood, and he is just a director who has just become famous, will Kate cooperate with him...... Jude suddenly didn't dare to continue thinking.

It's not that Jude isn't confident in himself, it's that he doesn't want to test the relationship between himself and Kate, just like he never minds speculating about human nature with the worst malice, because these things can't stand the test at all.

"What do you mean, I have to get the director if I want to get the role? I don't quite understand what you mean, do you mean to make me ......" Before Kate could finish speaking, Jude snatched her phone.

After holding the microphone and making a calm gesture to Kate, Jude picked up the phone.

"Tell me who that bastard director is, and I'll talk to him personally! If he dares to have any thoughts about my girlfriend, I don't mind smashing his nose! ”

Kate was a little dissatisfied with Jude's snatching of her phone at first, but when she heard Jude's loud questioning, she suddenly felt a lot better, and Leeter's hint just now was indeed a bit excessive.

Sleeping with a director in order to get a role is a common thing in Hollywood, but Kate doesn't want to be like that.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Leet on the other end of the phone was surprisingly calm, and didn't seem to care about Jude's anger at all.

"Do you think I don't dare?" Jude asked loudly.

"I think you may have misunderstood, I'm not testing your attitude, I just want to say that this matter will be a little difficult to operate, after all, it will feel a little strange to beat yourself."

Leeter's words made Jude stunned suddenly, and he suddenly realized that he seemed to have been tricked.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Before answering your question, can you return the phone to Kate, I still have some words to say to her."

"No, you have to explain this to me first!"

The unquestionable tone forced Leet on the other end of the phone to give in.

"Well, do you have to promise Shay that thing on the phone in the afternoon? Immediately after calling you, Shay informed me that New Line had a ready-made script in hand, and that the previously selected director had been kicked out for some reason, and he had decided to let you do it, and he said you had agreed. ”

"Wait a minute, when did I say I agreed? I haven't even seen the script yet. Jude interrupted Lee, his tone unusually angry.

In order to deflect Jude's anger, Leeter insisted that Shay had told him so.

"I'll call that bastard right now!"

"Wait a minute!" Litt stopped Jude, who was already dazed, "You can use your mobile phone to call Shay, can you let me talk to Kate now?" ”

Jude was speechless by Leeter's request, but did as he could.

Kate took the phone and put it to her ear and the first thing she heard was, "You have to stop him!" ”

"What?" Kate didn't understand.

"Now is not the time to explain." Li Te lowered his voice, "I told you just now that the director of that movie is actually Jude, but he hasn't agreed to this matter yet, so I need you to help me convince him." ”

Kate glanced to the side, but didn't mean to avoid Jude's words.

"I don't understand, if Jude himself is not willing to take on the film, why do you still insist?"

"If the script sucks, don't say Jude doesn't agree, and I, as his agent, won't agree, but now it's the opposite, the script is so good that New Line is even willing to offer it a shooting budget of more than $40 million, do you think Jude should miss such a movie? Not only Jude should not miss it, but you should also not miss this opportunity. The heroine of an A-level production, this is the starting point of the career that many young actors dream of? ”

Kate looked at Jude beside her with a calm face and did not speak, and reasoned that he should accept Leet's proposal, but emotionally she preferred to stand on her boyfriend's side.

"Promise him!"

Jude had completely calmed down at this time, and he had roughly figured out the cause and effect of the whole thing.

Although he was very angry at Lee's approach, the other party's conditions were something he couldn't refuse.

Kate covered the microphone with one hand and held Jude's hand tightly with the other.

"Don't grieve yourself, okay?"

"I'm not just doing it because of you, it's for myself as well." Jude turned his head and looked at Kate with a determined gaze, "Aren't you curious?" Leett and Shay-White have never had a good relationship, or the agent and the studio are naturally opposites, but this time they actually joined forces, just to make me the director of the film, and it is certainly not that simple. ”

"So you want to figure out what's going on?" Kate was very clever enough to guess Jude's thoughts.

"Give me my phone."

Jude held out his hand, and Kate handed the phone over without hesitation.

"Listen, I don't want to beat around the bush, you just tell me what the new line company has planned, and then I will carefully consider whether to take this movie."

Leete, who was on the other end of the phone, heard Jude's voice, and a smile of conspiracy appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Quite simply, they want you to be the director of the film and play the lead role in the film at the same time."
