Chapter 81: The script is wrong

After putting down the phone, Li Te did not breathe a sigh of relief, but seemed more worried. He knew that his approach had touched Jude's bottom limit, and as long as something similar happened again, Jude would definitely not hesitate to change his agent.

But Leeter didn't regret it, because he knew that as long as Jude successfully stepped out of this step, he could save at least two to three years of accumulation time. Jude is "rushing" time, and Leeter is also "rushing" time, although the purpose of the two is not the same, but the direction is the same.

Jude didn't know what his agent was thinking, and after getting the script from New Line, he spent half a day reading through it, and then compared the memories in his head and found some problems.

Almost at the same time, Kate also put down the script in her hand.

"Are you still happy with the character?" Jude pressed his fingers against his temples, as if he was experiencing some headache, but he asked Kate how she felt for the first time.

Kate propped her chin in one hand and looked at Jude across the desk.

"Not bad, what about you?"

"It's a bit of a problem." Jude rubbed his swollen temples and hesitated for a moment before asking, "What do you think of the ending of this script?" ”

Kate closed the script, pressed her hand on it and replied, "It's a bit surprising, I didn't expect the murderer to complete the last two crimes in this way." ”

Jude frowned and didn't express his opinion, and only said after a while: "Then do you think that this ending is a little lacking in dramatic tension, or a little strange, the murderer killed the sheriff's wife, and finally died under the sheriff's gun, and from beginning to end, the two male protagonists just watched all this happen, especially the daily life of the two people was talked about a lot, and the interaction between the male protagonist and his wife, these arrangements failed to play a role in the end." ”

Kate nodded, she did feel this way when she read the script, especially the heroine she played in the whole play just played the role of a gentle wife, if there is no problem with the ending, then the existence of this character is too deliberate.

Removing this character from the script will not affect the plot direction of the whole movie at all.

"Do you think this ending has been revised?"

Jude covered his forehead and said distressedly, "I'm not sure, but it's very likely." ”

"And what do you think the real ending should be?" Kate asked curiously.

"Me?" Jude shook his head with a wry smile, saying that he didn't have a clue for the time being, in fact, he knew what the real ending of the film was, but it was not convenient to say it now.

Kate felt that she couldn't help Jude much in this matter, so she suggested: "Maybe you can talk to the screenwriter of this script, there must be his contact information on the New Line company." ”

Jude nodded slightly, he did have such a plan, but he needed to be sure of one thing before he could act on it.

"Kate, if your character dies in the movie, I mean, would you mind if it did?"

Kate was slightly stunned, a little unintelligible.

"Alright, forget about it!"

Jude directly gave up the explanation, took out his mobile phone and prepared to contact the new line company.

At this moment, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Kate went out to open the door, but quickly turned back.

"What's wrong?" Jude asked, putting down his phone.

"The man outside the door is a little strange, he has been circling the door, and it seems that there is something urgent."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Jude put his phone on his desk and followed Kate to the door of the apartment.

"Who are you looking for?" Jude opened the door and looked at the man with some wariness.

"Director Locke, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Andrew Walker, I think you've heard my name, right?" The bearded middle-aged man handed Jude his hand over as soon as he saw him.

Jude shook his hand with a puzzled face, wondering where he had heard the name Andrew Walker.

At this time, Kate, who was standing behind Jude, suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed: "You are the screenwriter of "Seven Deadly Sins"! ”

Andrew Walker looked at Jude suspiciously, "Who is this beautiful lady?" ”

"My girlfriend." Jude opened the door completely to let the other person in, and introduced by the way, "She just finished reading your script." ”

"Really?" The bearded Andrew looked at Kate with a look of surprise, "How does it feel?" ”

"Very exciting!" Kate replied with a smile, of course, that this evaluation was polite.

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Beckinsale is also an actress, and she is the heroine of this film." Andrew said with great certainty.

Kate couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Walker knows about this from the New Line Company?" ”

Andrew sat on the sofa, took the glass of water handed by Jude and shook his head, "I guessed, in fact, I haven't contacted them since the New Line Company changed the ending of the script without asking for my consent." ”

Even Jude was a little curious.

"And how did you find me here?"

Andrew shrugged and explained: "A friend of mine is at New Line, and he secretly told me about the change of director. ”

Jude sat down across from Andrew with his cup in hand, "So you're here for me for this?" ”

"I don't know if it's useful because I didn't have any legal relationship with the script since I signed the agreement to sell it to New Line, but I really can't accept that it has been changed to the way it is." Andrew put down the water glass, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, "I started to conceive this script when I was working on a branch structure of Giant Tower Records, and it took two years to complete it, because there was no reputation, and the process of selling the script was very difficult, I had to list the names of all the agents who bought the suspense thriller on a piece of paper, and called them one by one, after the new line company bought the script, I thought they would respect my creation, but I didn't expect them to finally attack it, this is the murder of my work!" ”

Looking at the emotional Andrew, Kate glanced at Jude with some concern.

Jude shook his head, signaling that she didn't have to worry.

"Mr. Walker, maybe you need to calm down, we can't communicate well with you now."

Andrew also seemed to realize that his emotions were a little out of control just now, and smiled apologetically at the two opposites, and then he put aside Jude, looked at Kate alone and said: "Miss Beckinsale, your role is very important in my original script, which is why she can become the heroine of the movie, but now you see the script, her role has been infinitely weakened and even dispensable, I don't know if you feel this way?" ”

Kate glanced thoughtfully at Jude beside her, who had already connected Andrew's question to Jude's somewhat inexplicable question before.

"Mr. Walker, I wonder if my character died at the end of your original script?"
