"Sincerely!" Jude held up the coffee cup in his hand, and in the other hand he was holding the contract he had just signed with Columbia Samsung.

The sudden upheaval of three Colombian stars made Jude the biggest beneficiary of the whole thing. The new line company withdrew because it could not accept Jude's conditions, and Jude soon officially signed a contract with Columbia Samsung.

The contract stipulates that Jude will receive a 20 percent share of the film's box office revenues, as well as a 15 percent share of the revenue from the video tape market each year for five years after the film's release.

No one knows better than Jude how lucrative the "Spy" trilogy is in the home video and DVD market. The first installment in the series was released in 2002, and in 2003 it was the most rented DVD and home video in the continental United States.

The momentary negligence of Columbia Samsung allowed Jude to take a big advantage.

All of this should be thanked to Shay, if he hadn't pretended to continue negotiations with Leete and raised the bar for cooperation between the two sides, Samsung Colombia would not have been able to make so many concessions.

"When the film is released, I'm afraid the person who regrets it the most is Shay." Li Tet held the coffee cup, but his eyes couldn't help but drift to the other side of the café.

A young man with a somewhat immature face sat nervously in the corner, raising his hand to look at his watch from time to time, as if waiting for someone.

"I really don't see anything about him that deserves so much attention from you, as a star, his face is really not very recognizable. It's ten minutes before I make an appointment to meet him, and it's too late for you to change your mind. ”

"Do you think Hollywood will be short of handsome guys?" Jude put the papers in his hand aside and turned his head to look behind him, "In my opinion." Ordinary is his biggest characteristic. ”

"Well, whatever you want." Litt put down his coffee cup. Shrugged helplessly, "I'm going to go over and talk to him now." Want to be together? ”

"No!" Jude turned his head back, stared at the graceful figure of the waitress in front of the bar, and said, "I'd better stay here and watch the beauty." ”

"As long as you are willing to take off your sunglasses, she will immediately flatter you, if you don't believe it, you can try."

Litter winked at Jude and got up to find the young man they had just talked about.

"I remember you made an appointment with another actor today, why hasn't he come yet?"

"You mean Ben Affleck?" Litt turned his head.

Jude pouted and said, "It should be, right?" I remember you mentioned it once before. ”

Littlet wasn't quite sure if he had met Ben Affleck before Jude, but that didn't stop him from being interested in mentioning him: "You wouldn't expect that Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are distant uncles and nephews, and they go to the same elementary and secondary schools. gave up their studies together to go to Hollywood, and the two even wrote a script together. ”

Jude spread his hands expressionlessly, "So what?" ”

"I think Ben Affleck's imagination is more suitable as the male lead in the film." Litt replied solemnly.

Burst!

Jude gagged his mouth with a tissue in time, so that he didn't ruin the image and squirted the coffee out of his mouth directly.

"Are you kidding me? Ben Affleck's image is suitable for the male lead? ”

Litte insisted on his point of view and said: "I think Ben is completely in line with the audience's fantasy of the male protagonist of the movie, tall and handsome, although the acting may be jerky, but this can be made up for by training and experience in the future." ”

"I don't think so."

Jude shook his head, in his impression. Ben Affleck's roles since becoming famous have been tepid, and he has not even received a single nomination for a formal award, but the worst actor in Golden Raspberry has been nominated six times in a row. The burly Affleck easily gives the impression of being bulky and dull on the big screen, and his acting skills are slightly inferior. even exposes his weaknesses, so the more he acts, the worse the evaluation.

Acting skills do need to be honed constantly, but the most important thing is to look at talent. No matter how hard people who can't act, their acting skills can't reach the level of Oscar winners and actresses.

At this point. Jude thinks Ben Affleck is very similar to him, and neither of them has actually developed much on the road of actors. Jude's ability to play "The Seven Deadly Sins" well depends on the fit between the role and himself, and it really has little to do with acting skills, and Ben Affleck has no acting talent, compared with Matt Damon at the same time.

Both of them became famous from "Soul Catcher", although Matt Damon is the leading actor in the film, but the Oscar effect of the film gives the two almost equal opportunities for development. It's just that Matt Damon handles it better. The salary for acting in commercial blockbusters gave him the confidence to star in independent films, and after honing his acting skills through independent films, he became more comfortable acting in commercial films.

Ben Affleck's movies are similar to Matt Damon in terms of number and genre, but they are much inferior to Matt Damon's achievements as actors, which is the difference between being untalented and being talented.

It wasn't until he later transformed into a director that Ben Affleck ushered in a full recovery of his career, and several consecutive films have achieved good reputation, which is very similar to Jude.

"It doesn't matter if you don't like Ben, I'll find the right opportunity for him."

Wanting not to continue arguing with Jude on this issue, Leet looked at his watch and saw that it was almost time to make an appointment with Matt Damon.

"I ask you again, do you want to stay here to watch that waitress with big hips, or do you want to go with me and talk to the actor you like very much?"

Jude weighed the money for two cups of coffee and tips under the bill and left his seat with Leete.

"Hi Matt!"

Leet walked up to Matt Damon and offered to extend his hand to him.

"So you're Mr. Ritter." Matt Damon quickly handed his hand over, he had noticed a Chinese sitting there a long time ago, but he did not contact the agent who had made an appointment with him for the first time.

"Are you so sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?"

Leet intends to take the test for the top student majoring in English literature at Harvard, but Matt Damon is very confident in this.

"Of course, I've looked up your information. I know that you have several great directors and actors under your name, including Kevin Spacey and Jude Locke. Especially director Locke, I've seen all three of his films. It's really more exciting than the other! ”

"I'll be sure to relay your exact words to him." Li Teqiang resisted the urge to laugh and secretly glanced at Jude, who was wearing sunglasses and didn't react at the side.

"I don't need you to tell me, I've heard you."

Jude took off his sunglasses and looked at Matt Damon, who was poked there like a log in surprise, and couldn't help but tease: "Hey, dude, I know your acting skills are good, but you don't have to be so exaggerated when you see me, right?" ”

Matt Damon came to his senses and scratched the back of his head in some embarrassment. I didn't know what to say for a while.

"Your actual age is two years older than me, this gap should not create a generation gap, and besides, there is no crew here, everyone is talking on an equal footing, so you don't have to be so restrained."

Jude pulled out a chair and sat down, raising his hand to signal the waiter to serve three cups of coffee.

Leeter and Matt Damon sat down with him.

When the coffee was served, the waitress asked Jude for an autograph. After the other party left, Li Te grabbed the bill first, and sure enough, he saw a phone number composed of a string of numbers on the back.

"How? Am I right? ”

"If you pay for it, this phone number will be given to you along with it."

Matt Damon was going to say he was going to pay for it. When I heard this, I was so frightened that I didn't dare to speak.

Leeter rejects Jude's "kindness" and turns the conversation back to business.

"Matt, you should have been reading the newspaper lately, right? Jude has adapted Robert Rudrum's classic spy novel "The Identity of Byrne" into a screenplay, and the series will have three films. Filming will start soon, I don't know if you have any thoughts on the male lead of this movie? ”

"Me?" Mada-Damon froze and stared at Jude and Leeter with wide eyes.

"It's true." Jude added.

Matt Damon was stunned by the sudden news. I couldn't say a lot of words in my mouth, and my face turned red.

Jude wasn't surprised by Matt Damon's performance. Any actor who aspires to fame will be overwhelmed with excitement when he hears the news.

"Don't worry, you have time to think about it. Think about it before you answer. ”

Littlet didn't think much of Jude's approach, but just raised his hand and looked at his watch, wondering how it had been five minutes since the meeting, and Ben Affleck hadn't arrived yet.

"By the way, Matt, you should know a guy named Ben Affleck, right?"

Jude's seemingly casual questioning made Leet vigilant.

Matt Damon looked up with some surprise and looked at Jude and Leeter.

"Ben? Do you know him? ”

"Didn't he tell you that someone asked him to meet today?"

At Jude's prompting, Matt Damon began to try to recall: "Ben did say that a guy who claimed to be an agent asked him to meet, but he thought the other party was a liar, so he didn't plan to go to the appointment at all......"

He stopped suddenly, looking at Litt in extreme shock and disbelief.

"That's right, the liar he said was me!"

He said this as if he had swallowed a fly, and under Jude's playful gaze, he wished there was a crack in the ground to get into, at least to avoid some embarrassment.

"I'll call him right now."

Matt Damon decisively got up, but was stopped by Jude.

"You can tell him about it when you go back, and the rest will be left alone, if your friend doesn't even have the ability to resolve this misunderstanding, then he's not worth our time at all."

Matt Damon was tempted to help Ben Affleck defend himself, but seeing that Leeter was also silent about the matter, he finally chose to follow Jude's advice. (To be continued......)
