Chapter 123: An Unavoidable Opponent

Nelson then told Jude about the two situations in which a normal handover of a gun may be the most common and not easy to cause misunderstanding: one is that the big finger and index finger are holding the back of the gun upside down and handing it to others, which is a situation where the confrontation between the two sides is not high and is relatively casual; The second is to hold the gun with the backhand and the muzzle of the gun facing you or to the side.

"If the gun is pointed at the person, such an action will definitely cause misunderstanding, and a police officer would not make such a mistake in this situation."

Nelson's words made Jude fall into deep thought, and Denzel Washington and Anthony Hopkins, who had come over to have dinner with Jude in the evening, had to stop when they saw this.

"Then it is impossible to have such a situation, after shooting and killing the murderer, Mills's mood is very confused, and the whole person is close to collapse, at this time Shamose wants to come over and comfort him with a few words, which causes him to subconsciously resist the reaction, so he pointed a gun at Shamose to warn him not to approach, just at this time Shamose received a walkie-talkie notification, the sniper has been in place, he realized that Mills's situation is very dangerous, and was about to remind the sniper not to shoot, but because of the interference of the wires on the rooftop, the signal could not be transmitted, The fact that Mills had previously shot and killed the killer had already aroused the sniper's vigilance, and shot Mills to death just as he was about to lower his gun and give up resistance. ”

Jude rearranged the plot and watched as Nelson waited for the outcome.

After thinking about it for about two or three minutes, Nelson nodded and said: "This arrangement is much more reasonable, but I still have to say that the sniper's rash shooting is actually a bit out of accordance with the regulations, and if this situation really occurs in reality, it will only be a small probability event." ”

"It's okay to say it in the movie, thank you very much for the reminder." Jude shook hands with Nelson and sent the man away before breathing a sigh of relief.

After Denzel Washington and Anthony Hopkins came over to ask about the situation, they also felt that Jude's adjusted plot was more reasonable.

Because the news of Anthony Hopkins starring in the movie could not be revealed, Jude did not invite more people to attend the dinner, and only he sat around the table with Kate, Denzel Washington, and Anthony Hopkins.

Presumably because filming was coming to an end, Anthony Hopkins was in high spirits and frequently raised a glass at the dinner table.

"Although I have only been on the set for a week, I am really glad that I agreed to your request, and starring in this film is definitely the best decision I have made this year."

"That's because you've only been on the set for a week, and if you were like me for more than three months, you probably wouldn't have that idea." Denzel teased as he raised his glass.

"Why?" Hopkins asked curiously.

Denzel glanced at Jude, who was sitting across from him, shook his head, and said, "This topic is not suitable for discussion at the dinner table, and it is not a particularly pleasant experience anyway." ”

When he said this, Hopkins was even more curious.

Jude took over the topic and explained: "Actually, it's nothing, because the tone of the whole movie is very dark, so everyone is more depressed during the shooting, and there are a few shooting locations that are more realistic in order to create a realistic effect, so it may leave some people with a bad feeling, but I think all this effort and effort will pay off at the box office." ”

Denzel raised his glass again, "I agree with that!" ”

Jude's efforts and thoughts on the movie "The Seven Deadly Sins", Denzel is the best as the leading actor of the film, and what he admires most is not Jude's efforts as a director, but his seriousness as an actor.

In order to show the most realistic effect, Jude will torture himself in various ways, just like when filming the scene of the glutton, Jude has a shot of checking a bucket under the table with a flashlight, which is the vomit of the deceased, and the camera will not directly shoot the contents of the bucket, just Jude needs to make a disgusting reaction, but in order to realistically show this scene, Jude really makes people find something very disgusting and put it in the bucket, although this way is a bit masochistic, But it does make up for Jude's shortcomings in acting skills.

While other actors experience the role with their hearts, Jude practices the role by himself, and as a talented director in his twenties, being able to do this step is enough to win Denzel's respect.

Even Hopkins, after listening to Denzel's story, was incredulous about Jude's approach.

"I used to think that the time you used to be an actor was a complete waste of your talent as a director, but now I suddenly feel that it is a real waste for you to change your career to become a director, if you keep working so hard, you can definitely become an excellent actor in the future!"

"I feel the opposite." Jude shrugged his shoulders, glanced at Kate who was sitting next to him, and said: "The experience of making this movie made me deeply realize how difficult it is to be an actor, so I will never play such an uncomfortable role in the future, just concentrate on being a good director." ”

After talking about this topic, Denzel Washington immediately became concerned about another matter.

"By the way, has the release schedule of this movie been confirmed?"

"It will be officially released in November at the latest, and the specific date has not yet been determined."

"Around Thanksgiving, that is?" Denzel Washington gave Hopkins a hesitant look, but finally didn't say what was on his mind.

Jude noticed Denzel's expression and thought he was worried about the publicity schedule.

"The film promotion will be launched half a month before the release, the promotion in several big cities and the final premiere in Los Angeles you have to attend, and other promotional activities can be absent, and I can help you fight for the new line company in this regard."

"That's not what I'm worried about." Denzel folded his hands together with a hesitant expression.

Kate suddenly interjected at this time: "There are many movies released around Thanksgiving, and one of them is very close to the theme of "The Seven Deadly Sins", starring Kevin Spacey. ”

Hearing this name, Jude subconsciously looked at Hopkins, and he now finally understood why Denzel looked at the other party just now, because before Jude took over "The Seven Deadly Sins", New Line Company had wanted to find Kevin Spacey to play the murderer in the film, but in the end it was Hopkins who got the role.

"What you read in the newspapers?"

Kate shook her head, indicating that she had heard from Leete.

Jude frowned and didn't speak, and that's when Hopkins finally couldn't help but speak.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on?"

"Kevin Spacey has read the script of "The Seven Deadly Sins", if the schedules of the two movies collide together, the other party will definitely have some small actions when doing movie promotion, Mr. Hopkins, your character may be leaked in advance, of course, this is the worst-case scenario, I believe Kevin Spacey should not do this."

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Hopkins' expression became serious.

"What if it leaks?"

"It's just that the character may be leaked, and the news of Mr. Hopkins' appearance in this film can be completely confidential."

"That is, it has no effect on me, but it will have an impact on the movie?"

Jude shook his head with a solemn expression, "It's hard to say yet, but one thing is very certain, this time the two movies may really collide!" ”
