Although Jude doesn't like to use negative news hype to promote the means, since the other party took the initiative to hit his hand, he is really sorry for the cup of coffee he spilled if he doesn't take advantage of it.

Hollywood is not a kind place, with surveillance as evidence, Jude doesn't have to worry about the other party reversing black and white, as for the little negative impact of this matter, it is completely negligible, anyway, he has had enough negative news before, and he has long been labeled as a controversial person, so there is no need to pretend to be a good person at this time.

On the contrary, Jude is only normal in the eyes of everyone if he does this, and the nickname "Hollywood Bad Boy" is not something that can be completely erased by making one or two successful movies, and Jude himself does not particularly care.

No matter how big the controversy is, it can't be worth the success after success, and Hollywood has always been a place where strength speaks.

Leeter was a little worried that this matter would attract the hostility of Sharon Stone and the William Morris agency behind her, after all, Jude is completely grasping a little thing to make a big fuss, and using the other party's fame to hype his own movie by the way, no matter who this kind of thing happens, it will be uncomfortable.

But Jude didn't care at all, he didn't even pay much attention to CAA, let alone CAA's defeated William Morris, as for Sharon Stone, she was indeed innocent in this matter, but who called her unlucky to have such an idiot assistant, or without her usual connivance, Raul would not have behaved so rudely and arrogantly in the Armani store.

After leaving the matter to the lawyer, Jude did not pay any attention to the matter, and devoted all his energy to meeting Denzel Washington the next day.

"Welcome!"

The door opened, and Denzel Washington, dressed in a formal suit, and his wife, Boretta, stood in the doorway to greet Jude and Kate warmly.

Jude handed the wine to Denzel Washington, and Kate crouched down to say hello to the four children who were hiding behind Boretta.

"Say hello to Aunt Kate."

Boretta pulls all four children out of her back and introduces Jude and Kate in turn.

Kate took out the gifts she had prepared for the little ones and handed them to them one by one. This move immediately attracted the favor of Denzel's whole family, especially Denzel's eldest son John, who couldn't put it down after receiving a football ball with a star's signature, and even hugged it during dinner.

The dinner was held in a very pleasant atmosphere, Jude and Denzel tacitly did not mention the topic related to "The Seven Deadly Sins", only picked some interesting topics to talk about, and it was not until the end of the dinner that they finally talked about the topic related to the Oscars.

Denzel touched his eldest son's head, "John, go turn on the TV." ”

The little guy jumped out of his chair and ran into the living room, and Denzel turned his head to continue the conversation: "This year's Oscars are much more competitive than the year I won the Best Supporting Actor award, and the TV viewership should be record-breaking." ”

Jude put down the knife and fork in his hand, "My opinion is just the opposite of Mr. Washington, although the competition for this year's Oscars is fierce, but it is also the most suspenseful one, everyone has actually guessed which movie will win the award, and the attention will actually decline." ”

Denzel Washington seemed to be thinking about Jude's words just now, and did not rush to speak, but his wife, Boretta, who had been an actor for a while, suddenly asked, "Which movie is Mr. Locke most optimistic about this year?" ”

"Personally, I actually prefer 'Pulp Fiction', and Mrs. Washington should know that I made a movie in England some time ago, and it's very similar in structure, and the movie will be released in North America next weekend, and I'll send two movie tickets when the time comes."

As soon as Jude said this, a small head suddenly popped up on the other end of the table.

"Uncle Locke, there are six people in our family, why are you only giving away two movie tickets?"

The question was asked by Denzel Washington's seven-year-old daughter, and the little one's serious expression amused all the adults at the table at once.

"When you grow up, Uncle Locke will give you movie tickets in the same way, but not yet, this movie can only be seen by Dad and Mom." Jude couldn't explain to the little guy what an R-rated movie was, so he could only answer like this.

"Can't I go too?" John, returning from the living room, hurriedly interjected.

Jude shrugged regretfully, "You're only ten years old now, and if you want to see Uncle Locke's movie, I'm afraid you'll have to wait a few more years." ”

John was not reconciled, and immediately asked, "Not even a videotape?" ”

"No!" This time it was John's mother, Boretta, who became quite serious, in order to stop the eldest son's thought in time.

"It's boring." John looked down and whispered.

Boretta gave Jude an apologetic look, then got up and beckoned the four children back to her room, knowing that the rest of the conversation might no longer be appropriate for the children to disturb.

Denzel Washington continues the topic that was interrupted just now.

"So Mr. Locke is most optimistic about Pulp Fiction this year?"

Jude smiled and shook his head, "I'm just saying that from a personal point of view, I prefer "Pulp Fiction", but the Oscar judges don't necessarily think so, in fact, as predicted by most newspapers, "Forrest Gump" will definitely win big this year, although from a purely filmmaking point of view, "Forrest Gump" may not be called a great movie, but compared to other shortlisted films, the mainstream American values it represents are a huge advantage, What's more, it is the highest-grossing of all the shortlisted films this year, and the Oscars also need to consider public opinion, rather than blindly awarding awards to those cold literary films. ”

Denzel Washington leaned back in his chair, carefully pondered Jude's words, and finally came to a conclusion.

"Mr. Locke doesn't seem to be very fond of literary films?"

"It's not that I don't like literary films, but I don't like the division between literature and commerce." Jude corrected and explained: "I think that film is first and foremost an industrial product, it is not inherently labeled as literary or commercial, and I am not opposed to anyone willing to make a film more profound, but I prefer to make something that can be accepted and liked by the public, and if a film can only be loved by a few people, then greatness cannot be talked about." ”
