Chapter 49: Premonition

"The scripts that are sent to each of you are incomplete, to be precise, they are only part of the script, the part related to your respective scenes, so some people get a thick script, while others only have a few pages. By the way, it's not that the thicker the script, the more scenes, the script is used to help you understand the characters, and some characters are more complex, so the script will have a detailed introduction to the background and origin of the character, and each scene is also equipped with a psychological analysis of the character, which will help you enter the state as quickly as possible when facing the camera. ”

Jude walked around the conference room with his hands crossed, finally stopping to look back at Winnie-Jones.

"I wonder if this answer will satisfy you, Mr. Jones?"

"So I don't have a lot of roles, but the role is simple?" Pooh-Jones asked incredulously.

"Of course it's okay if you want to play complex roles, but do you have any previous acting experience? Faking a fall on the pitch or cheating the referee after committing a foul does not count. ”

Someone next to him couldn't help but cover his face with a script and laughed.

Winnie-Jones glared at the men viciously, but turned his face to the side with some weakness in the face of Jude's gaze.

"Mr. Jones, do you have any questions?"

Pooh Jones sat down a little reluctantly, and Jason Statham patted him on the shoulder, indicating that he was on his side.

"You have two days to familiarize yourself with the script, and filming will officially start on Monday, and I don't want anyone to even remember the lines by then, okay, that's all for today!"

With that, Jude was the first to walk out of the conference room.

Pooh Jones and Jason Statham followed.

Jude didn't stop because the two followed, and Winnie Jones had to rush to Jude's side, saying as he walked: "I'm going to work with the team on Saturday, I have a game on the weekend, and you want me to memorize all the lines in two days, I can't do that!" ”

"It's okay, I know you can't do it, so the lines and plots arranged for you are the easiest."

Jude's answer caused Winnie Jones to pause, and then continued to chase after him and ask, "What about Jason?" I watched him have more lines than I did, but now he has to train every day and has less time to rest than I do. ”

Jude turned his head to look at Jason Statham, wanting confirmation from him.

"I haven't told Coach White about the movie yet."

Jude stopped and looked at Jason Statham with some surprise.

"So you didn't leave the diving team either, can I understand that?"

Jason Statham nodded silently.

"Jones, I need to talk to Statham alone."

Jude turned his head to look at Winnie-Jones, who stopped playfully and didn't follow.

Jude led Jason Statham to his makeshift office, closed the door, leaned against the wall and asked, "Why are you still hesitating?" Do you think you can have a better development if you stay in the diving team? ”

Jason Statham, who was sitting on the couch, looked up and glanced at Jude.

"Are you sure I can succeed as an actor?"

"It's better than staying on the diving team, right?" Jude walked over and poured Jason Statham a glass of water, "You're not like Jones, he's a good mix with the team, so acting can be considered as a second career, and you should completely shift your focus to that." Trust me, you can definitely go further than Jones or even the other actors on this crew when it comes to being an actor! ”

Jason Statham was still hesitating, but Jude didn't have time to wait any longer. The film is still two days away from filming, and if Jason Statham can't devote himself to it, the filming schedule will inevitably be affected.

"Well, ask the diving team for a month's leave, and I'll put your scene in front of you to shoot, but you have to make sure that nothing goes wrong in the middle, can you do it?"

After making eye contact with Jude for half a minute, Jason Statham finally nodded.

"I'll do my best!"

"It's not an effort, it's a certainty!" Jude opened the office door and sent Jason Statham to the door, "By the way, help me bring a message to Jones, so that he can give me a little more restraint during this time and cause less trouble!" If the filming is delayed because of himself, I will ask the lawyer to talk to him personally! ”

Not long after sending Jason Statham away, Emman Ruhr knocked on the door and walked in.

"Are those two thorns done?"

"Pretty much."

Jude leaned back in his chair with his hands on the back of his head, watching as Ayman Ruhr dragged a chair from next to him and sat in front of him.

"I exchanged opinions with Luther, and your previous proposal was seriously considered, and it should be no problem to shoot it, but it has to be rehearsed before the filming of "This Man is from Earth", and I don't think this time the luck may be as good as the last time, so you have to be prepared to waste a lot of film on this scene."

Jude shrugged, "As long as I can get the kind of effect I want, it doesn't matter how many times I NG." ”

Aiman Ruhr sat upright, looked at Jude very seriously and said: "There is another problem, if you really shoot this scene according to your ideas, the picture will definitely be very bloody, which can affect the rating of the film when it is released." ”

"I bet you haven't read the whole script seriously!" Jude glanced at Ayman Ruhr and then explained, "Great. Hemp is one of the three important clues in this movie, and there is even a picture of direct sucking, this alone is enough to make the whole movie say goodbye to PG-13, not to mention all kinds of swear words that are full of all kinds of swear words in the whole movie, there are 125 uses of the word FUCK in the lines alone, compared to these, a bloody gunfight scene is nothing at all. ”

Aimanruel's mouth moved, a little unsure of what to say.

Jude was very satisfied with this effect, and continued: "Actually, you have thought too much from the beginning, don't forget who paid for this movie, the new line company started by distributing horror films, and the movies they have invested in and produced over the years are basically R-rated films, if I make a PG-13 level movie, do you think they will pay so easily?" ”

Aiman Ruhr was silent for a while, and finally spread his hands and said, "Okay, you win this question, but is it really okay for you to divide the script into different parts and give it to those actors?" ”

"Mainly for the secrecy of the plot, I know that not many media will pay attention to the news of the crew now, but it will be difficult to say in the future."

Jude didn't want "Two Smoking Guns" to be exposed to the media prematurely, because he had a hunch that this filming in the UK would definitely not go as smoothly as the last time he filmed "This Man from Earth".
