Chapter 152: Invitation

The change in Kate Winslet's identity made Matt Damon's attitude more cautious. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

If it's for a strange woman, he can be completely open to asking for help, but once this one becomes an actor, then the whole thing gets complicated.

"Sister Winslet, I'm sorry I didn't know you were an actor, just my request, you should take it as a joke!"

Seeing Matt Damon's apparent intention to leave, Winslet could only shrug her shoulders regretfully.

"Actually, I'm willing to help, but it doesn't seem like I need it now."

"It's a pleasure to meet you here, it's a pleasure to chat with you!"

Matt Damon gets up and returns to his original seat to find Jude looking at him like an alien.

"It went so well at first, I thought you would get something out of it, how about it, what did you talk to each other?" Jude glanced over to the side where Kate Winslet was sitting, and he could only see the other party's back from his angle, so he didn't know Winslet's identity for the time being.

Matt Damon shrugged: "You wouldn't have guessed that the person you helped me find to talk to was actually an actor." ”

"What!" Jude put down his wine glass, and ⊥ 8⊥8⊥8⊥8, M.★.Com↘looked at Matt Damon with an incredulous expression, "Are you sure you're not kidding me?" ”

Matt Damon pouted: "I'm pretty sure. ”

"Do I know her?"

"I don't know." Matt Damon shook his head, "She only thinks she's a British actor, her name seems to be Kate Winslet, and she should be a not-so-famous actor." ”

"Wait!" Jude interrupts Matt Damon. "What was her name just now?"

"Kate Winslet." Matt Damon repeated what he had just said, and then noticed that Jude's expression had become a little strange. I couldn't help but ask, "Is there any problem?" ”

"No!" Jude shook his head affirmatively.

Matt Damon was pretty sure Jude was lying, but he really couldn't think of any connection between Jude and the other party. Is it because the other party is also called Kate?

Jude didn't know that in such a short period of time, Matt Damon had already associated things with his girlfriend, and at the moment there was only one voice echoing in his head.

Why is Kate Winslet here?

The thought that it was now approaching 96 years made Jude relieved.

At this time, the "Emotion and Reason" collaboration between Kate Winslet and director Ang Lee should have been filmed.

It was with this movie that Winslet was shortlisted for the Oscar and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in one fell swoop, although she did not win the award in the end, but it can be regarded as officially entering the Hollywood stage.

A little reminiscence of Kate Winslet's fame. Jude discovers something very interesting.

The British actress made a total of three films before she became truly famous, working with directors Peter Jackson, Ang Lee and James Cameron, all three of whom were Oscar-winning directors, and two of them were directors of epic box office blockbusters.

Winslet has not yet collaborated with James Cameron on "Big Boat", and Peter Jackson, who has already worked with him, is still just a cutting-edge director who is famous for shooting horror films, and Ang Lee is even more miserable, having been in Hollywood for more than ten years, and only recently actually made his first English-language film.

Being able to work with these big directors who have not yet become famous, there is certainly an element of luck in this. But it also proves Winslet's vision for choosing scripts and who to work with.

"Well, you stay here, and I'll go get to know this Sister Winslet."

Jude was about to get up.

"You know her?"

Matt Damon's curiosity was piqued at once, although he couldn't follow Jude with him. But that didn't stop him from inquiring more.

"She knows me, I know her, but we don't know each other." In order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. Jude briefly explained his relationship with Kate Winslet.

Matt Damon was a little confused when he heard it, and Jude had to explain further: "She got to know me through my films. And I met her through her films, and it was as simple as that. ”

Matt Damon subconsciously asked, "Is the movie she acted in famous?" ”

Unexpectedly, Jude asked rhetorically: "Is the movie you acted in before very famous?" ”

Matt Damon was stunned for a moment. It reacted quickly.

As a director, Jude will not only pay attention to those more famous films like ordinary people, since he knew himself who was not famous before filming "Spy Shadow", of course, he can also know Kate Winslet, who is not famous.

That's all, it didn't surprise Matt Damon in particular, and then Jude added another sentence that made Matt Damon really feel shocked.

"In another month, maybe you'll see her name on the shortlist for the Golden Globes."

"Best Actress?" Matt Damon's voice became a little trembling, which showed the surprise in his heart.

"Of course not, she was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress." Jude's answer made Matt Damon relax a little nervous, but being shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress is also a very good result, especially for a rookie actor, this alone is enough for Matt Damon to envy.

Jude stood up and put a hand on Matt Damon's shoulder: "Playing the role of Bourne well, I can't guarantee that you will win the award, but I can guarantee that if you take on other commercial films, the salary will definitely be ten times higher than now!" Neither the Oscars nor the Golden Globes can bring such benefits, so you don't need to envy others. ”

"I think those are two different things." Matt Damon retorted: "Winning an award is an honor, a gain of fame, and this is an achievement that cannot be replaced no matter how high the salary is." ”

"You're wrong, it's actually the same thing." Jude patted Matt Damon on the shoulder hard and gave him an analysis: "The salary for acting in a commercial blockbuster can give an actor the confidence to appear in an independent film, and after honing his acting skills through an independent film." It will be more comfortable to re-enact commercial films, and the two complement each other. I'm not asking you to be a commercial star who succeeds with his face like Tom Cruise. It's about becoming an actor like Tom Hanks who can not only play blockbuster commercial films, but also play well in various literary films. This is the level of a real Hollywood-level star. Tom Cruise probably won't reach this level in his life, and you have more hope than him. ”

Jude took his hand off Matt Damon's shoulder and walked straight to Kate Winslet's seat.

"Can I sit down?"

The surprise in Kate Winslet's eyes flashed, and then she replied with a smile: "Of course! ”

She was still thinking about how to get to know Jude just now, but she didn't expect Jude to take the initiative to come over and talk.

Jude sat down and didn't talk to Kate Winslet about the history of the bar, as he had taught Matt Damon about the conversation, but instead asked straight about the movie Winslet and Ang Lee worked on.

"Mr. Locke knows about that movie?"

Jude shrugged and replied, "It's thanks to my girlfriend, who is interested in literature and has been looking forward to the release of Jane Austen's Sensibility and Sensibility ever since it was adapted into a movie." ”

Kate Winslet listened to Jude talk about his girlfriend so frankly. The impression of him in my heart has changed a little.

"I thought Director Locke himself was interested in the film, and if that were the case, we could have a lot of related topics to talk about." Kate Winslet said regretfully.

"I really don't have much interest in this movie, or I don't have much idea about this kind of film adapted from traditional literary works, but I am very interested in director Ang Lee, and I hope that Sister Winslet can help introduce me if I have the opportunity."

Jude's answer surprised Winslet, and she thought that Jude mentioned "Sensibility and Reason" because she starred in the movie, but she didn't expect that she really wanted to know the director of the film through her.

"Is it because Director Ang Lee is a Chinese?" Winslet asked curiously, because she heard that Jude's agent seemed to be also Chinese.

"There are reasons for this. But not like Sister Winslet. Jude organized the wording and continued: "It is more difficult for a Chinese director to succeed in Hollywood than a black director, and in this case, director Ang Lee can win himself the opportunity to direct a film. This is enough to prove that his directing ability is very good, and I want to know him for this reason, of course, Sister Winslet must Director Ang Lee is Chinese. That's why I'm interested in him, and I don't have a problem with that. ”

"Okay. Mr. Locke can just call me Kate, so we might be able to talk a little easier. ”

Jude spread his hands regretfully, "I'm sorry I can't do that." Because the name 'Kate' has a special meaning to me, please allow me to continue to call you Sister Winslet. ”

Winslet took a sip of her drink, put down her glass, and joked with Jude, "I'm starting to get a little jealous of your girlfriend." ”

Jude said suddenly: "This is not necessarily, maybe it will soon be the other way around, and it will become that she is jealous of you." ”

"What?" Winslet looked at Jude suspiciously, only to notice that the man across from him had an unusually serious expression, not like a joke.

"The media has a good evaluation of the movie "Emotions and Reason", although I don't know how many public relations achievements are in it, but there is a very certain thing, at least this has to be a good movie, to be worthy of everyone's praise, the Golden Globe Awards will announce the shortlist next month, I believe there is a high probability that you can see Sister Winslet's name on this list."

Seeing the obvious suspicion in Winslet's eyes, Jude immediately added: "This is definitely not a compliment, but a conclusion drawn in light of the situation of the previous awards seasons." ”

"If I'm not mistaken, Director Locke should be working on your new film in France during this time, and I thought you'd put all your energy into it."

Winslet's ridicule did not make Jude feel any embarrassment, but replied more confidently: "The popular films of this year's awards season are not only "Sensibility and Reason", Sister Winslet is so sure that my work will not be shortlisted?" ”

"Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Seven Deadly Sins" are both considered movies released this year, and it is certainly no problem to be shortlisted for some awards with the quality of these two films, but the copyrights of these two films are in the hands of New Line, and the public relations of the awards are also done by them, and Jude basically doesn't ask.

"Spy Shadow" adopts the form of a three-part set of shots, and the filming cycle is very tight, even if "Two Big Smoking Guns" and "Seven Deadly Sins" finally win awards, Jude probably does not have time to accept the award in person.

Winslet seized on this and questioned Jude herself.

"Okay, just kidding, I don't know if my film will be shortlisted for the award, but I'm very sure that Sister Winslet will be shortlisted for the Golden Globe, because it's not my personal opinion, but the judgment of the team behind me based on the situation of this year's awards season."

Jude has a team behind him?

It was the first time Winslet had heard of this, and she couldn't help but be a little suspicious.

"I certainly didn't have time to pay attention to this news when I was filming in France, but my agent set up a brokerage company some time ago, and he provided me with all this information."

"Including my possibility of being shortlisted for the Golden Globes?" Winslet couldn't help but ask.

"Of course!" Jude replied against his will, in fact, it was a conclusion he had drawn based on the information in his own memory, and it had nothing to do with Leete.

But he had to find a reasonable basis for his conclusions, so he could only blame his agent for everything.

"Why is Mr. Locke doing this with me?"

"I'm glad Sister Winslet finally asked that question." Jude put his hands together on the table and leaned forward in a sincere gesture: "If possible, I hope that Sister Winslet can consider becoming a client of that brokerage like me, so that maybe we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future." ”

Winslet gave Jude a serious consideration of his proposal and finally shook his head: "Although I am looking forward to working with Director Locke, I am happy with my current agency, and they have promised to arrange better role auditions for me after this play, so I can only apologize for that." ”

"Heroine, if Sister Winslet can join, I can guarantee that you can directly become the heroine in your next movie, and the production and direction of this movie are absolutely unimaginable."

Jude's idea was simple, sign Winslet and recommend her to James Cameron, and if history hadn't shifted too much, "The Trucker" would have chosen her as the heroine of "The Big Ship" in the end.

In this way, he can not only fulfill the promise at the moment, but also get involved with James Cameron, and wait until the filming of "Titanic" next year is overspended, and then he can find an opportunity to intervene in the most lucrative film of the twentieth century.
