Chapter 107: I can't bear to look at it directly

Denzel Washington eventually followed Ayman Ruhl's advice, but became more and more curious about what was going to be filmed today.

"Cards!"

As soon as Jude shouted to stop, several actors dressed as SWAT officers immediately turned their heads in other directions, and one of them even covered his mouth and retched.

"Oh, shit!" Curious about the actors' reactions, Denzel Washington glanced at the bed in the middle of the room, and then immediately looked away.

A shriveled corpse, full of signs of abuse, lay flat, eyes wide open, desperate and terrifying.

"How did the props team do it? It's disgusting! ”

Denzel Washington looked at Jude with an uncomfortable expression, wondering how the crew could find such a perverted makeup artist.

Jude asked the makeup artist to touch up his makeup, while looking at Denzel Washington and said: "You have to get used to it quickly, because soon there will be a rivalry between the two of us in this room, and I, as a rookie policeman, can feel disgusting and unbearable, and even turn my head away from looking, but you, as an experienced veteran policeman, must have this disgusting and disgusting reaction very deep in his eyes...... After so many years of acting, this is certainly not the first time you have dealt with such a scene, and I am sure you will be able to overcome it. ”

Denzel Washington shrugged helplessly and said, "This is definitely the most disgusting scene I've had in all my years of acting, I swear." ”

"Then go through it all over again so you don't have to face this again...... By the way, the 'corpse' on the bed is not a prop, he is a living actor, and when the two of us get closer to observe, he will suddenly struggle to sit up, so it's best not to get too close when shooting. Jude reminded him one last time.

"You said he was a living man!" Denzel Washington looked at Jude with an expression of disbelief, and his expression was almost like a ghost.

Jude pouted helplessly, he had been warned by the makeup artist who couldn't bear it anymore to shut up, if he kept talking like this, the other party's work really couldn't continue.

Denzel Washington clutched his head in despair, "God, how did I meet such a bunch of crazy people." ”

Although there were a lot of complaints before filming, Denzel Washington still showed a very high level of acting quality during filming, and he played Samose with a firm gaze, like a well-informed veteran policeman with rich experience in handling cases, and even the crew's special adviser, a real criminal police officer, said that Denzel behaved like a real police officer.

In contrast, Jude's performance is a little more jerky, but this is also in line with his own role positioning, a policeman from a small place, just has a warm heart and feels good about himself, it is difficult to accept this perverted murder scene for a while, and when he looks at the crime scene, he twists his head several times and can't bear to look at it.

Both of them wanted to get over this scene as soon as possible, but there was still a little problem with each other in the end.

Because Jude had warned Denzel in advance that the 'corpse' on the bed would suddenly struggle to sit up, Denzel had been on guard against this happening, and his behavior was inevitably a little distorted when he was suddenly frightened.

Jude looked at the footage on the monitor and called Denzel to him and talked to him about it.

This is actually only a small mistake, if Jude wants, it is completely possible to cover up Denzel's performance mistakes through post-editing, but Jude did not do this, but regretfully told Denzel that the latter part has to be reshot.

Denzel had no problem with this, and it was also a challenge for him to meet a discerning and professional director.

The second shot went well, and Denzel reacted well this time, being taken aback but not overreacting like Jude's rookie cop.

Through this scene, the two slowly found a little tacit understanding in the performance cooperation, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

But the bigger surprise came from a phone call from Litter after the shoot.

Both Stephen Sommers and Nicolas Cage have agreed to sign agency deals with Little, and both made their decisions quickly after reading the script for "National Treasure."

Stephen Sommos's ex-agent fell out with him because he refused to continue making children's adventure movies of the same genre, and Littlet took the opportunity to take his place easily. Nicolas Cage had a little trouble at first, CAA's corner was not so easy to pry, although Nicolas Cage was very interested in the script of "National Treasure", he was not very confident in Littlet as his agent, and finally Littlet had to convince the other party through Ovitz, and the price paid was that Ovitz knew in advance about the existence of the bundled film project of "National Treasure".

When Ovitz left the company, he said that he would never be an enemy of CAA, at that time he was trying to win the favor of CAA's new management, so as to better sit in the position of president of Disney, but the first thing CAA's new management team did after being elected was not to stabilize the company's position, but to immediately start to weaken Ovitz's influence on the company. But at the same time, it has also greatly improved the unity of the entire CAA.

Ovitz was so disappointed by all this that he had even seen that when CAA completely cleaned up its internal affairs, the whole company would be monolithic again, which meant that CAA was completely out of his control.

Owitz, who realized that the crisis had occurred, immediately reneged on his previous promise, and Littlet only euphemistically mentioned in the call for help that he had the idea of setting up a brokerage company, and Ovitz immediately expressed his support.

With Ovitz as an endorsement, Nicolas Cage called his agent on the same day to ask for a termination of the contract, and according to the previous contract, he must pay $2 million in liquidated damages to the CAA.

"Mr. Ovitz is willing to help me pay Cage's liquidated damages, which can be regarded as a disguised 'funding' for me to set up a brokerage company, so the good news is that the money you lent me will not be used for the time being."

Jude put away his smile, obviously a little unhappy with Ovitz for reaching directly into Leett's agency.

"So what's the bad news?"

"Mr. Ovitz is very interested in the National Treasure project, and he fully agrees with our bundle plan, and he wants us to start filming this film as soon as possible, so I'm afraid you'll have to put the Seven Deadly Sins on hold and take time off to go back to Los Angeles."
