Although Jude's words sounded like a joke, the strong confidence revealed surprised the reporters present.

Is this still the depraved second-tier star Jude Locke who only knows about alcoholism and flying cars?

Shay-White turned his head and smiled at Leeter beside him, "Do you still think Jude will suffer at the hands of these reporters?" ”

Li Tet pursed his lips and didn't speak, but he had to admit in his heart that Shay's words made sense, and he never really saw Jude through.

Reporters continue to surround Jude, hoping to get more behind-the-scenes information about "This Man is from Earth" from him, but Jude, who has whetted everyone's appetite, sells off at this time.

"In order not to make the next 90 minutes boring, there are more topics about this movie, and I hope to wait until the end of the movie to discuss it with you."

Seeing the reporter follow the audience in line into the theater, Jude turned his head, looked at Shay who was standing on the side and asked, "You should have all the people you invited, right?" ”

"If you're not in a hurry to get in and get in touch with those reporters, I suggest you wait, I still have a friend here who hasn't arrived, and his evaluation of this movie is very important for the publicity we receive."

"Who?" Litter hurriedly asked.

"Armond Kyle." Shay replied.

Jude turned his head to look at Leet with a blank expression, saying that he had never heard of this man. Kneel and beg for a hundred black * rock * cabinets

"President of the New York Film Critics Association and a contributing film critic for The New York Times." Leeter explained a little speechlessly.

Thankfully, Shay greeted him in advance, otherwise Jude would have asked the question after Armond Kyle arrived, and the scene would have been embarrassing.

As soon as Jude heard that he was not only an authority on the East Coast film critics, but also a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, he immediately realized that this person should be the most important person in the audience today.

Li Te noticed that Jude's eyes were a little wandering, and immediately reminded: "If you are thinking about how to please Armond Kyle, I advise you to give up directly, this is notoriously difficult in the industry, as long as your work meets his viewing interests, even if you are his enemy, he will never be stingy with his appreciation, but if your work is not favored by him, you have a good relationship with him, and he will not say a word if it is ugly." ”

Jude stared at Leet with wide eyes, "Are you serious?" ”

Li Tet shrugged his shoulders, and his expression seemed to say, "Do you think I'm joking?"

Jude frowned and looked at Shay, who was standing not far away, "Why do I think this Armond Kyle is coming at me?" ”

Leet was about to say that Jude was self-inflicted, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was indeed a bit too coincidental.

Armond Kyle is famous among all film critics for only looking at the quality of the work and not the director's fame, which is precisely the most beneficial for Jude now.

The current Jude is not only not well-known in the director's circle, but has a poor image because of a bunch of "bad debts" left by him when he was an actor before, which will more or less affect everyone's perception of his movies.

In this way, it is really possible that Armond Kyle was specially invited by Shay to watch the movie.

Leet wanted to ask Shay for confirmation, but at this time, the person they were waiting for finally came.

Armond White is a middle-aged man with a mustache, slightly chubby, very flexible eyes, and well-dressed, perhaps because he has watched too many movies in the past few days, he always gives people a little bit of a feeling of lack of energy, and he speaks very shelf-wisely, even to Shay is also a tone of ignorance.

"Amund, let me introduce you, this is the director of "This Man is from Earth", ......"

"The famous Jude Locke!" Armond directly interrupted Shay's words and looked at Jude with a slight sneer, "I didn't expect the first time we met would be in this situation." ”

Jude's half-outstretched hand stopped, a little unsure of what to do.

"There's no need to shake hands, I'm not interested in you as a person, I just hope you don't waste the 90 minutes I took to make that movie, this is my biggest expectation for this trip."

Jude watched expressionlessly as Armond walked straight in front of him, and was about to turn his head to stop the other party from retorting, but Litt quickly pulled him back.

"Don't be impulsive, this guy does this to everyone!"

Jude didn't listen to persuasion at all, and turned around and shouted, "Mr. Kyle, after watching the movie, you'd better think it's a bad movie, or you'll regret what you just said!" ”

"Locke, what are you doing!" Leet tugged at Jude's arm, his tone surprisingly angry.

Admund stopped, glanced at Jude, who was being held by Leet, and turned his head to look at Shay-White with a playful expression.

"This is the emerging director you strongly recommend to me?"

Shay awkwardly avoided Armond's gaze, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Maybe I should have taken a break in the hotel and wasted 90 minutes here." Armond said to himself, in fact, he was really trying to force Shay to speak.

"This ...... Actually, I think that kid is right, you should apologize to him, otherwise you will really regret it after watching this movie. Shay said with a look of embarrassment.

"What?" Armond's whole face darkened instantly, and his thick and thick eyebrows shrugged upside down, as if he wanted to swallow Shay alive, "You actually asked me to apologize to that kid, are you out of your brain?" ”

Shay looked at Armond with a sincere expression, "I know it's hard for you to accept that, but as a friend, I have an obligation to remind you and apologize to him, or you'll really regret it later." ”

Armond hesitated, his instincts telling him that Shay wasn't lying, but reason couldn't get him to accept the fact anyway.

Apologizing to a rookie director who is not famous, and this guy used to be notorious, this kind of thing is impossible for anyone with his status to accept, let alone Armond.

"Even if this movie is really as good as you say, I will never apologize to this kid, I won't watch this movie!"

Shay didn't stop him, only said: "You don't have to participate in this test screening, but the film will still meet the audience at the end, I hope you understand this!" ”

Armond turned around angrily, "You're threatening me?" ”

"It's not a threat, it's just a piece of advice." Shay pursed his lips, "You also saw it just now, this kid is not a good-natured guy, in case this movie gets more attention at the film festival, and there is a media interview with him, I can't guarantee that he won't say bad things about you!" ”
