Chapter 47: An Extra Son

Jason Statham and Pooh Jones were eventually persuaded by Jude, and Pooh Jones was paid £2,000 more than Jason Statham, on the grounds that he is now much more famous than Jason Statham.

It's not a good reputation, but it's a reputation.

After getting these two "amateur" actors, Jude did not continue to participate in the contact negotiations with the remaining professional actors, and all of them were lost to the casting director.

The assistant that New Line found for Jude was very familiar with the British entertainment industry and quickly found the person Jude needed.

In addition to Jason Statham, the remaining three of the four gangsters in the film are all played by professional actors, they are Jason Fleming, Dexter Fletcher and Nick Moran, which is exactly the same as the original movie lineup in Jude's memory.

It's not that Jude is lazy and ready to directly copy the Guy Ritchie version of "Two Big Smoking Guns", but this movie plays with structure, and the actors are not important, so Jude didn't plan to spend too much thought on this, of course, Jude only remembered the names of a few leading actors in this movie, and the casting director had to choose the right people according to the roles.

In short, Jude didn't take this matter too seriously, including going to Jason Statham and Winnie Jones before, and didn't want these two to lose the opportunity to become famous because of their "early intervention".

Now all Jude's energy is focused on improving the action scenes of this movie.

Guy Ritchie's version of "Two Smoking Guns" is perfectly structured, and it is necessary to find faults, then only the actors' performances and action scenes are slightly lacking. The former Jude didn't think about changing it at all, because even if all the actors in the film played at the level of actors, it was useless, the audience would only notice the structure of the film, but would not remember the actors in it, and the characters themselves in the film did not have much room for acting skills.

However, there is a lot of room for improvement in the film's action scenes.

When Guy Ritchie filmed "Two Big Smoking Guns", because of the limited budget, the action scenes were all saved, and the most intense scene in the film where the two gangs fought was just a shot of bullets constantly shooting through the glass to fool around and it was over, how the two gangs killed each other was not filmed at all, and Jude was thinking about how to shoot this scene during this time.

"This is the house rented by the four gangsters, next door is the stronghold of the gang G, the crew has already negotiated with the owner when renting this place, as long as we don't tear down the house, the windows, doors, walls and the furniture inside, it doesn't matter if they are all broken."

Luther, the set decorator on the set, pointed to a three-room room and reported to Jude on the results of his work over this time.

Jude watched as he walked, trying to imagine his eyes as the lens of the camera, constantly imagining how the actors would be buried and how the camera would be positioned when filming began.

After walking around the room, Jude already had several plans in mind, and as for which one to use for the actual shooting, he had to communicate with the photographer before he could finalize it.

The decorator, Luther, raised his hand and shook it in front of Jude, "Locke, are you listening to me?" ”

Jude came back to his senses and smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, I'm distracted thinking about a question, where did we just go?"

Luthor spread his hands, "I'm done, and then you said you want me to go back to the crew with you, all the actors will come over today, and you have to gather everyone for a meeting." ”

"Alright, let's go!"

Getting into the car, Jude continued to think about the question he had just asked, but now he was thinking about the photographer.

Ayman Ruhr has not given Jude an accurate answer, although Jude had a ticket to London sent him two days ago, but it is still unclear whether this guy will come.

If the flight hadn't been delayed, this guy would have been almost there by now.

But what if this guy doesn't come? Finding another photographer temporarily, just running in is a very headache.

Hopefully that guy doesn't disappoint.

Jude thought to himself.

――

With a ding, the elevator doors opened.

Jason Statham and Pooh Jones walked out together, and in front of them was a busy aisle, with staff members holding various props and filming equipment in and out of various rooms, and no one stopped to ask them what their identities were or tell them where they should go.

"Please give way."

A staff member holding a large cardboard box passed by the two, and Jason Statham was about to ask some information when he walked into the next room.

"Isn't there anyone in charge of this crew?"

Winnie-Jones couldn't help but complain.

As soon as he finished speaking, a little boy ran past and almost hit his hand.

"Hey boy, look at the road!" Winnie Jones yelled angrily at the boy's back, and turned his head still angry, "I'm starting to regret my previous decision now, I don't know what this crew is doing, there are still children running around here, do you really think this is an amusement park?" ”

The boy turned his head and grimaced at Winnie-Jones, and continued to run forward, only to be grabbed at the elevator entrance.

"Jack, you run around again, be careful I let your mom suck your ass!" Jude, who stepped out of the elevator, rubbed the boy's head and looked up just in time to meet the gazes of Jason Statham and Winnie Jones looking this way.

The little boy named Jack cleverly ducked behind Jude because he had seen Winnie Jones clenching his fist at him.

"Looks like you've known each other in advance." Jude pulled the little boy out from behind and pushed him forward, "Jack, do you know who this gentleman plays in the movie?" ”

"My father." The little boy replied with some reluctance.

"Very good, say hi to him now!" Jude ordered.

The little boy glanced at Winnie-Jones with some fear, and finally mustered up the courage to shout, "Daddy! ”

Winnie-Jones was directly dumbfounded, stunned and speechless for a long time.

"Good job, go find your mother, stop running around!"

As soon as Jude let go, the little boy ran away, and soon disappeared.

That's when Winnie Jones finally came to his senses, "What the is going on?" How could I suddenly have an extra son! ”

"There's no rule that gangster killers can't have sons, right?" Jude walked over with a smile and made a welcoming gesture with open arms, "From today onwards, you are officially a member of the crew of "Two Big Smoking Guns"!" ”
