This sense of déjà vu became even stronger when I entered the restaurant and met Patricia Arquette for the second time.

Jude tried very hard to think about it, and finally he still didn't remember what TV series Patricia had acted in, but he did remember that Nicolas Cage had been married three times in total, and the first time should have been the charming blue-eyed, petite, and slightly southern accent Patricia Arquette; the second time was Elvis's daughter; The third time was a Korean woman in her twenties younger than Cage.

"Director Locke, it's a great pleasure to be here with you, I went to see "Two Smoking Guns" with Parry, your work conquered me, if you are going to make a sequel, can you consider letting me play a role in it?"

Nicolas Cage speaks with a slightly nasal voice, which can be a bit neurotic for people who are not familiar with his kind of accent, but for Jude, he is very familiar with this voice, and in many movies, he listens to Cage speak with people with such an accent, and even feels a little familiar.

"I'm glad you liked that movie, but before I do that, I want to make sure that I should call you Mr. Cage or Mr. Coppola?"

"Call me Cage or Nicholas, the surname Coppola is only mentioned at my family gatherings." Nicolas Cage replied very seriously.

Jude nodded, and the two of them pulled out their chairs and sat down.

At the dinner table, Kate had already chatted with Patricia and Charlize familiarly, and the topics were always inseparable from clothes, cosmetics, and fashion.

Jude interjected, but he wasn't idle, jokingly telling Nicolas Cage and Stephen Sommers while he waited for the food: "Actually, I don't like to eat with Ritter, do you want to know why?" ”

Cage immediately said, "Because you're not used to eating Chinese food?" ”

"You're fooled if you really think so, don't be fooled by appearances." Litte folded his hands and leaned back in his chair: "Jude has eaten almost all the Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles, and even some restaurants I don't know about. ”

"Really?" Cage grew his mouth and felt a little incredulous.

"Someone can testify." Leett's gaze shifted to the left and landed on Kate, who was chatting with Charlize about cosmetics.

"It's true that Jude has a stubborn love for Chinese food, and I like the taste of Chinese food, but many dishes are too greasy to eat too much, otherwise you will definitely gain weight." Kate has always been very concerned about keeping in shape, and when talking about the deliciousness of Chinese food, she did not forget to remind the two ladies present to pay attention to moderation.

Leet continued with Kate's words: "In fact, it's not just food, Jude knows all aspects of China, for example, his Chinese pronunciation is more standard than many real Chinese, and you will never think of him as an American just by listening to the voice." ”

Hearing this, Stephen Sommos, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "I heard that Chinese is one of the most difficult languages in the world to learn. ”

Charlize and Patricia both stopped talking and looked at Jude.

Finding that everyone was very interested in this, Jude had to shrug his shoulders and say: "My grandfather was a real Chinese, and I still have a quarter of Chinese blood in my body, I think this should solve most of the doubts in your hearts, right?" ”

"I have a question." It was Patricia who spoke, and she had very charming blue eyes like Charlize, and these eyes were now staring at Jude very seriously.

"Your grandfather was Chinese, but Locke is a Westerner's surname."

"I'm glad you asked about this, no one else who knows my background has asked me this question except you, it's actually very simple, because I've always had two names, a Chinese name and an English name. The pronunciation of the Chinese name is very close to my FirstName, which is called Jude. Because you know that the pronunciation and spelling of Chinese names are very different from English names, since my father's generation has used the two-name approach, the English name is my grandmother's surname, and the Chinese name is my grandfather's surname. ”

Westerners are not particularly strict in the use of surnames, although under normal circumstances, they follow their father's surname, and even after marriage, the wife has to change her husband's surname, but on the other hand, it is a very common thing to change her surname, especially Westerners also have a middle name, and some people will take the surname of their mother or grandmother as their middle name in order to show that they are of noble birth.

The most typical example is Nicolas Cage, whose uncle is Francis Coppola, a great director who is famous for films such as "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now", when he entered the film industry at the age of 17, in order not to be affected by his uncle's fame, he changed the surname of John Cage, the composer he loved very much.

It was also the first time that Litt had heard Jude explain his name, and it was a novelty.

"So according to the Chinese name, you should really have the surname Qiu?"

Jude nodded, and secretly slandered himself in his heart: Lao Tzu's surname is Qiu, but you don't know it all along.

With that end of the discussion about surnames, Leeter then turned the conversation to Patricia Arquette, who had just asked Jude a question.

"I know Miss Arquette is also an actress, I wonder if you have any ideas for working with Cage once?"

Both Nicolas Cage and Patricia Arquette looked surprised to hear this.

Stephen Sommers glanced at Jude in surprise, it was obvious that he had already guessed what Littlet was trying to do, so he was in a hurry to get verification from Jude.

Jude didn't know about it beforehand, so he looked confused as well.

Among all of them, the most nervous is Charlize Theron, and Littlet obviously wants Patricia Arquette to also star in "National Treasure", and the only suitable person for Patricia to play in this movie is the heroine, because Jude has never mentioned other important female characters in the film when he introduced her to the plot before.

"We can add a new character to the film, and it's guaranteed to be a certain amount of exposure, and Miss Arquette can consider it if she's interested."

Cough! Cough!

Jude covered his mouth with a napkin and coughed twice, pushed his chair away and stood up.

"I'll go to the bathroom."

As soon as he left, there was no way to continue the topic just now.

Littlet said sorry to Nicolas Cage and Patricia Arquette, got up and chased after them.
