In the studio, a staff member hurriedly ran in and whispered a few words in the ear of director Charles.

Charles frowned and thought for a moment, then finally shook his head.

"Tell Oprah that the recording of this episode is very good, and I don't see the need to pause the recording to make adjustments, and if she really feels that she can't control the pace of the conversation, then try to lead the conversation to the movie, Jude is on the show to promote his new movie, and he is definitely willing to talk more about it."

After sending the staff away, Charles crossed his hands and looked down at the recording scene under the glass window, knowing that Oprah had met a real opponent this time. can disrupt Oprah's rhythm in the interview and be anti-guest, such a guest has not appeared on the "Oprah talk show" for many episodes.

"This Jude is kind of interesting!" Charles came to such a conclusion in his heart, and he also had more expectations for the next program recording.

Oprah raised her head suspiciously and glanced at the studio after receiving the gesture message from the staff opposite, the reason why she asked for a pause was that she felt that if the conversation continued like this, it would turn into an argument between her and Jude, which obviously deviated from the original intention of the whole show, but for some reason, the program team actually wanted her to continue like this.

"Since you're so confident in your work, you don't mind what others think of it, right?" Oprah picked up a folder from her seat, pulled out a few newspapers from it and handed it to Jude, "These are the recent newspaper reviews about your movie, can you read it aloud for us?" Whether it's good or bad, it must be read word for word. ”

"It's not all scolding me, is it?" Jude stared warily at the newspaper in Oprah's hand, he had already guessed that this might be Oprah's revenge, and he couldn't refuse this situation at the moment.

Oprah pouted meaningfully: "It's okay, you can refuse." ”

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Jude shook his head, "I just wanted to say that the guy who came up with the idea for this show is a genius!" I love this part to death! ”

Obviously, Oprah just said the opposite, so Jude responded with the same rhetoric.

At this time, even the dullest person realized that the two people in front of the camera were probably competing with each other.

"The first review, from the Herald Daily, says that "This Man is from Earth" is a complete gimmick, I really don't understand why the Toronto Film Festival chose it as the closing film, the 90 minutes with no plot to speak of, a bunch of inexplicable dialogues, plus the director who just came out of prison, such a combination is really a perfect match......" Jude threw the unfinished newspaper aside, "I don't know how low an IQ it takes to write such a shit review!" ”

Oprah looked at the furious Jude with a calm face, "Do you want to continue?" ”

"And then let my IQ be insulted again?" Jude shot back sharply.

"No, no, you're mistaken, these newspapers are all randomly selected, and we have absolutely no intention of targeting you." Oprah swears by his promises.

"Okay, I'll continue." Jude shrugged and picked up the next newspaper, but this time he learned his lesson, skimming through the underlined content before reading it aloud: "'This Man Is From Earth' is less than 90 minutes long, and it's pretty much a talk show with a few Harvard professors from start to finish." There are only two scenes - inside the house, outside the house, with an investment of $20,000. I said this is the best movie of 1994, you might think I'm going crazy, but do you know what the highest level of madness is? It's to make all the people who listen to you say crazy things believe that everything you say is true, just like in the movie, why believe it? With your impeccable madness, exhaustive evidence, reasonable logic, and bland tone, such a movie could be used as a marketing textbook by Harvard Business School. ”

Oprah winked her eyes at Jude, who had finished reading the newspaper, and said with a smile, "Now you believe I'm not lying, right?" ”

"It's true that you're not lying, but this newspaper is lying." Jude's astonishing answer once again gave a glimpse of his out-of-the-box way of thinking, and before Oprah could ask why, he explained: "I'm grateful to the person who wrote this review, but I have to say that he praised the film so well that it made me feel unreal." ”

"Can I interpret what you just said to mean that you are being humble?" Oprah asked.

"No, it's not modesty, it's about facts." Jude leaned back and sat in a more comfortable position, "The first comment made me angry because it was completely ignoring the facts, and the second one I was not particularly happy to read because it was also deviating from the facts. ”

"What kind of evaluation is the most appropriate in your mind?"

"I don't know if you have it here, but I can try to find out." Jude picked up the newspaper provided by the program team and opened it one by one, originally he didn't have much hope, but when he was about to finish it, a familiar name came into his sight.

Armond Kyle, I didn't expect his comment to be there.

Jude hesitated for only half a second, then pulled the newspaper out of its own pocket.

"Found it?" Oprah glanced at Jude's newspaper with some curiosity and found that it was a copy of The New York Times.

"I'm not sure yet, but I'm sure it's going to be an interesting review, from Mr. Armond Kyle, president of the East Coast Film Critics Association, let's listen to his insights first...... "This Man is from Earth" was quite well received at the Toronto Film Festival, so I need to say two words, the movie is just one scene, there is no picture at all, the whole film is the male protagonist talking about his experience, like a 14,000-year history of mankind, several so-called anthropologists, biologists, archaeologists, A psychologist's friend answered a mysterious question on the side, and this 'fascinating' work was born. The film has a very good idea, and wants to look at human beings, religion, human values, and the essence of the world from a super-historical, super-time-space, and super-religious perspective, but unfortunately the director's talent is far from being able to control such a huge topic. ”

Jude stopped abruptly at this point, and Oprah waited for a while before finally interjecting, "If the rest of the content makes you feel embarrassed, you don't have to continue." ”

Jude rejected Oprah's kindness and continued: "If you just ask the actor to talk about how prehistoric humans hunted, how the earth warmed, how he became friends with Van Gogh, and by the way, worry about the future of mankind, this may be a good movie, but he just talked about religion, and the director only knows a little about it, and he tries to preach to the audience in an area that he is not good at, and the result can be imagined." I can't say it's a bad movie, but it's a stupid movie, but it's a pet because it caters to the ignorance and curiosity of most viewers. ”

Oprah glanced at Jude with a strange expression, she wasn't sure if the other party was deliberately pausing to lead her to be fooled just now, but she was very sure that Amond's final evaluation was actually not too bad, considering the other party's usual style of film reviews, such an evaluation could actually be regarded as a compliment, and even Oprah herself couldn't help but have the idea of wanting to watch this movie after listening to it.
