More than ten minutes later, Ayman Rul Lubezki closed the script in his hand, and the expression on his face was very different from before.

"Is this really a script you wrote?" He rolled his Adam's apple with difficulty, as if he was unwilling to say such a thing.

Jude clasped his hands nonchalantly, "Now do you believe that I used a one-shot shooting method to better show this story, rather than just show off my skills?" ”

"It's not like a script you wrote at all." Emman Ruhl Lubezki still can't connect Jude in front of him with the uneducated Hollywood bad boy described in the newspapers.

Jude glanced at Aymanrul-Lubezki with a slight sneer, "So you'd rather believe what the newspapers say about me than your own judgment?" ”

"Okay, even if you really wrote this script, can you guarantee that you will be able to shoot it?" Aymanrul Lubezki looked at Jude with a suspicious expression, and what kind of thoughts he had written directly on his face.

"That's what I'm going to talk to you about next, to keep the script going back, and there's a preliminary idea of what I'm going to do for the film, and of course you can add it from your own point of view."

Jude pointed to the script in Aymanlul Lubezki's hand, and the other party immediately understood that this was Jude's starting to test his skills.

"Wait a minute, it seems like I haven't agreed to be the cinematographer for this film yet."

"Oh, really?" Jude pretended to be surprised and looked at Ayman Rul Lubezki, "I thought you had already made a decision after reading the script, what a shame." ”

Ayman Rul Lubezki was confused by Jude's words.

"What's the pity?"

Jude didn't answer, instead turning his head to Tony, who was sitting next to him.

"Since Mr. Lubezki is not interested in this film, should we leave?"

Tony was still angry about Ayman Rul Lubezki's sarcastic words just now, and immediately nodded in cooperation and stood up to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Just as the two were about to reach the door of the apartment, Ayman Rul Lubezki chased after him from behind.

Jude turned around, smiled and asked, "What else is there to do with Mr. Lubezki?" ”

"I ......," Ayman Rul Lubezki said, and suddenly he didn't know how to speak, and hesitated for a moment before finding a suitable entry point: "This is your script, you just forgot to take it." ”

"Sorry for my mistake." Jude shrugged apologetically at Aymanrul Lubezki, an imperceptible smile flashing in his eyes.

Just as he took the script and was about to turn around again, Ayman Rul Lubezki finally couldn't help but speak.

"Director Locke, maybe I can be the cinematographer of your movie, but I have one condition!"

――

A few minutes later, Jude and Tony take the elevator downstairs.

On the way to the parking lot, Tony couldn't help but ask about the condition that Jude had promised Ayman Rul Lubezky.

"Why is he paid and we don't get a penny?"

Jude stopped and gave Tony a serious look.

"Because he's the cameraman and you're the actors."

Tony was stunned, then quickly caught up with Jude, who continued to walk forward.

"You're discriminating on the job!"

"Thank God, at least you're not stupid enough to say it's racist, if that's the case you're really hopeless." Jude walked over to Tony's taxi, pulled the door open and threw out the words.

"What?" Tony didn't understand too much, "Just because that guy is white and I'm black?" ”

Jude rolled his eyes helplessly and explained, "That guy is Mexican, I'm racist, and I should prioritize him, right?" ”

Tony was struck by the unexpected news.

"You actually hired a Mexican to do the photography!"

"I said, it's not racism, it's not professional discrimination, it's just because I think it's fair." Jude began to urge Tony to get into the car, but the other party had no intention of stopping.

"Fair? He is paid and we are not, so what kind of fairness is that? Tony continued to complain as he got into the car and fastened his seatbelt.

Jude turned his head angrily, glared at Tony and said, "If this movie can be successful, you can gain a certain amount of popularity, and even be favored by an agent or director because of it, but what can Lubezki get?" From beginning to end, he is nothing more than a 'machine' that exists as an executive director's will, and how many people will consider the success of the film to be his credit? Since there aren't many benefits, I don't have any problem paying him somewhat, and the truth in this is as simple as paying for the film! ”

Tony shrugged and didn't say anything more.

As soon as the car started, Jude's cell phone suddenly rang.

This is a new model of mobile phone that Nokia has just launched this year, with a 16-bit black and white LCD screen, which can display signal strength, battery and other information, and can also display SMS content, but the volume is smaller than the current mainstream "big brother" mobile phone, and the design is full of "futuristic" at this time.

In addition to the bank card in his hand, this mobile phone is the most valuable thing in Jude's hand.

Answering the phone, a man's voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Locke? I'm Mike Sheen and we met in the restaurant yesterday, remember? ”

"Something?" Jude frowned, really couldn't understand what the other party meant by calling him at this time.

"Regarding Kate's participation in your movie, I decided to support her after thinking about it seriously, but I also hope to be able to join this movie, maybe you can arrange a role for me, of course, I don't need to be paid like Kate."

Jude didn't deliberately avoid Tony when he answered the phone, so Mike Sheen's words also fell on Tony's ears.

Thinking that Mike Sheen is a full-fledged actor, Tony can't help but worry a little about whether Jude will give up the role he has set before, after all, Mueller, Jeff, and Petty are all Tony's friends, and he doesn't want to see any of them out.

"I'm sorry, all the roles have been decided, and I can't do what you ask."

Jude's unhesitating refusal surprised Tony and moved him at the same time.

After Jude hung up the phone, Tony gratefully said to him, "Thank you!" ”

"What?" Jude reacted strangely, "Why are you thanking me for no reason?" ”

"Thank you for rejecting Mike Sheen just now, after all, we don't have any advantage compared to him, and you're risking losing Kate by doing so, so ......"

Before Tony could finish his sentence, he was directly interrupted by Jude.

"I think you may have misunderstood, my rejection of Mike Sheen has nothing to do with what you just said, I just don't want to have an actor who can't completely obey my arrangement join, which will drag down the filming of the whole movie, and of course, the more important reason is that I don't like him!"
