"Two Smoking Guns" has exceeded $80 million at the box office in the UK and North America combined, and will be released in some important overseas countries one after another, if the global box office exceeds $100 million, Jude can almost $9 million in shares, of course, this money will not arrive at one time, but will be transferred to Jude's account in batches.

After deducting taxes and commissions paid to brokers, Jude was able to get $6 million in the end.

The money for setting up a film company to make movies is definitely not enough, and temporarily lending Littlet to pay Nicolas Cage's liquidated damages will not have any impact on Jude's next plans.

After Denzel Washington officially joined the crew, the countdown to the filming of "The Seven Deadly Sins" began, and Jude left everything he could have done to convince Stephen Sommers and Nicholas Kate to Little, and threw himself into the filming of the film, because this time he was facing not only the director's job, but also the same stage with a superstar like Denzel Washington.

The former excites Jude, while the latter makes him a little nervous.

Because this is a serial killer movie, in order to create an unpleasant and uncomfortable situation for the actors, Jude deliberately chose the messy, graffiti-filled and dark corners of New York City, and most of the time in the film is raining, so the location shooting is done with the assistance of a sprinkler truck, which adds a lot of difficulty to the shooting and performance.

In order to save time and cost, Jude did not shoot in the normal order of the script, but put the scenes with many characters in the front first, his rivalry with Denzel Washington in the middle, and the scenes between Anthony Hopkins and Kate at the end.

In addition to the convenience of filming, Jude did this more to facilitate himself to quickly enter the role, first use group scenes to run in the cooperation of the entire crew, and at the same time establish a certain acting tacit understanding with Denzel Washington, so as to facilitate the filming of the rivalry between the two.

Jude never wanted to outperform Denzel Washington in acting, but he also didn't want people to say that he was like a piece of wood in front of Denzel Washington.

In the first scene, the police determined that the murderer was the drug dealer Victor after comparing the fingerprints found at the scene of the lawyer's murder, a guy with a criminal record and mental illness, the SWAT team went out to arrest the murderer, but found that he was killed by trauma, his body was full of wounds left after various abuses, and the whole person was starved to the bones, the murderer tortured him for a whole year, until the police arrived He had his last breath left, and he really died on the way to the hospital.

The crew was initially going to shoot the scene with models, but the casting director found a very, very thin actor through the guild, and the makeup artist Bobby used an exaggerated set of dentures to make his head appear smaller, more like a malnourished corpse.

Jude almost vomited in nausea after seeing this guy lying on the bed after putting on his makeup, and God knows he had just eaten two hot dogs for breakfast and drank a cup of coffee.

"Do you need a plastic bag?" Ayman Ruhr, the photographer who came in with him, asked kindly.

After two collaborations, Jude had already established an extraordinary friendship with the Mexican, and this time Jude didn't think about it for the filming of "The Seven Deadly Sins", and the day after he was sure that he would direct the film, he called Aiman Ruhr and recruited him to the crew.

"Thanks, but I don't need to." Jude took a deep breath and twisted his head to the side as he resisted the feeling of vomiting.

"Partial close-up shots will be replaced by prosthetic limbs, and only when shooting panoramas will the actors actually lie in bed, and if it goes well, the whole shooting can be completed in one day." After consulting with the makeup artist, Ayman Ruhl gave his own conclusions from the perspective of the shooting.

"If I hadn't been reminded beforehand, I would have thought that it was a corpse lying here, Bobby, you did a great job!" Jude patted the makeup artist on the shoulder hard, pulling him aside by the way.

Glancing back at the special actor who sat up from the bed and looked like a zombie when he didn't remove his makeup, Jude looked at his photographer with some concern and said, "He won't suddenly choke during the shoot, will he?" Losing weight like this really worries me a lot. ”

"We insured him."

Bobby's answer left Jude a little speechless.

"I'm not worried about losing money, but I don't want to add more trouble to the crew, you know what I mean?"

This time Bobby finally understood, and swore seriously that the actor was just a little thinner, and the makeup effect made people look a little worried, in fact, he was in good health, at least he wouldn't die suddenly for no reason like Jude was worried about.

"Very good, don't leak his style, and surprise everyone who enters this room during the shooting!" Jude felt that he was a bit embarrassed by his performance today, so he thought about finding balance from the others.

Bobby mistakenly thought that Jude was doing this to make the actors' expressions more realistic during the shooting, and nodded without any hesitation.

Jude exits the room with Ayman Ruhr and is confronted by Denzel Washington, who has already put on his makeup.

After shaking hands, Denzel Washington gave Jude a second look and then joked, "You're dressed nicely today, like a cop who just came from a small town in the middle!" ”

"Really?" Jude opened his hand and looked down at his current outfit.

There is a bulletproof vest between the black jacket and the white shirt, and the tie is the one that Kate picked out with Kate last time, and the whole person's appearance does look a little dirty.

Especially when standing with Denzel Washington, who is wearing a khaki trench coat and a black neat suit, the contrast is even more stark.

"As long as you don't think I'll steal the show if I wear it like this, to be honest, I'm still under a lot of pressure to work with a big star like you." Jude smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's more challenging, isn't it?" Denzel glanced at Jude appreciatively, he wasn't sure how Jude's acting skills were on the first day of filming, but at least Jude's professionalism at the moment was very commendable.

"Then I'll see you later, I'll put on makeup first." Jude gave the photographer Ayman Ruhr a look and turned to leave.

Denzel Washington glanced at the room where Jude and Ayman Ruhr had just come out together, and asked curiously, "What were you doing in there just now?" ”

"It's an important location for today's shoot." Ayman Ruhr and Denzel Washington met at a previous set meet-and-greet and are not particularly familiar at the moment, so they didn't reveal much more about the room.

Denzel Washington pointed forward, "Can I go in and have a look?" ”

"No, no!" Aiman Ruhr quickly stopped it, and admonished with a serious face: "Although the layout of the room is not a secret, if you have just eaten, I suggest you do not go in, otherwise you may have some uncomfortable physiological reactions...... Really, it's not an exaggeration at all! ”
