November 23, Thanksgiving.

At the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, two giant posters of "The Seven Deadly Sins" hang at the door, one on the left and one on the right.

The sub-poster on the left is dark yellow, with the heads of Jude and Denzel Washington on both sides, and the shadows in the middle of the portraits are lined up from top to bottom with the words gluttony, greed, laziness, jealousy, pride, indulgence, and anger, and then each word is crossed with a red pen on the top, and "Se7en" is written in thick white letters below; On the right is a poster with seven screenshots of the movie of different shapes forming a huge Arabic numeral "7", and below it is also "Se7en" in thick white font, representing the official name of the movie.

The red carpet leading to the theater gate was already crowded with reporters and fans, and Jude and Kate were still sitting in the welcome car, already feeling the enthusiasm of hundreds of fans and reporters outside.

Jude glanced out the window through the glass, then turned to Kate, who was inspecting the dress, and said, "I bet the person getting off the front of the welcome car must be Denzel." ”

"Before you care about the outside, maybe you should care about your girlfriend first."

Kate glared at Jude wryly, continuing to look down to check her outfit.

"Okay, baby, you're glamorous enough, and no one can steal the limelight from you today." Jude patted Kate's hand and pushed the door open.

As soon as he got out of the car, the reporter on the opposite side raised his camera and shot at this side, and the clicking flash made Jude who was not wearing sunglasses very uncomfortable, and he walked quickly to the other side of the welcome car and opened the door for Ketra himself.

An ivory calf stepped out of the car, mint green heeled sandals on the red carpet. As soon as Kate appeared on the red carpet, she immediately attracted all the camera lenses of the reporters.

A tight white skirt. Framed to the end of his perfect figure, his long, wavy brown hair was draped behind his shoulders. With a sweet smile on his face, he instantly murdered Film, who had countless reporters.

Jude put his arm around Kate's waist and posed a few poses in front of the reporter's camera, meeting the photo requirements here before officially stepping on the red carpet.

The fans on both sides were obviously not as excited as they were when they met Denzel Washington just now, but some fans were still chanting the names of Jude and Kate, and some people were directly squeezing over to ask for autographs from the two.

In order to save time, Jude and Kate had to sign autographs separately, but then more and more people crowded over, and the staff responsible for maintaining order on the scene had to stop the autograph activity. Ask them to keep going.

At this point where the reporters gathered, the two slowed down again to facilitate everyone's questions.

"Director Locke, how did it feel to work with Miss Kate for the first time?"

"To correct your statement, Kate and I are working together for the second time, and Kate was one of the heroines in my first film." Jude pointed to the reporter who asked the question and joked, "Don't tell me you haven't even seen the movie." ”

"'This Man Is From Earth,' of course I've seen this movie." The reporter shouted out the name of the film, and was about to continue asking questions, only to find that Jude's attention had already shifted to other questions.

"Director Locke. Everyone is paying attention to your performance in "The Seven Deadly Sins", can you talk more about your role this time? ”

"A very impulsive young man, a bit like me used to be, and to be honest, I didn't plan to play this role myself at first. But everyone around me felt that there were a lot of similarities between this character and me, so I decided to give it a try. ”

"How does it feel?"

"I regret it very much!"

Jude's answer stunned the reporter who asked the question, and at first thought he had misheard.

"I'm sorry. Do you regret acting in this movie? ”

"Three months on the set was a nightmare for me, and you know there were several homicide scenes involved during the filming of this film. The atmosphere of the entire crew was very depressing, and after the filming of the film, the crew arranged a psychological treatment for several key members. It was a very special experience, and if you ask me if I want to go through this kind of thing again in the future, my answer is definitely no! ”

A reporter next to him immediately took over the topic: "In other words, you won't be an actor anymore?" ”

"If I don't become an actor anymore, no one will scold me for my bad acting, this idea sounds like a good idea!" Jude pointed at the other party and joked, "I'll take your suggestion seriously." ”

The implication is that he has not considered completely giving up his identity as an actor for the time being.

"Will Mr. Locke feel a lot of pressure to play against Denzel Washington?"

Another question drifted into Jude's ears, and as he followed the prestige, a bespectacled reporter beckoned to him.

"I bet you asked him the same question when Denzel passed by just now, didn't you?"

"How do you know?" The reporter's eyes widened, and he looked at Jude's expression as if he were looking at an alien.

Jude was pleased with the effect of his words, nodded and said, "It seems that Denzel has already answered this question, and I am looking forward to working with him next time." ”

After saying that, he shrugged apologetically at the reporter across from him, who was still trying to continue asking questions, took Kate's hand and continued to walk forward.

In front of the signature wall at the entrance of the theater, the two pointed to the signatures and met the photo requirements of the reporter opposite, and then answered a few questions, which was the end of today's red carpet.

When I entered the door, I happened to meet Leete.

"If nothing else, tomorrow's entertainment headlines will be you!"

Most of these words are praise for Kate's outfit today, and a small part is aimed at Jude, of course, this level of compliment does not have much effect on Jude and Kate, what really works is what Li Tet is going to say next.

""National Treasure" officially started filming in September, in order to allow everyone to come to this premiere, Somoste deliberately gave the crew two days off, he was supposed to come, but there was a little problem in the new filming location of Orlando Disneyland, he rushed over to deal with it, and specially asked me to say sorry to you!"

Jude had wanted Littlet to convey his thanks to Stephen Sommers on his behalf. But when I thought that after the release of "The Seven Deadly Sins", I would soon be able to find time to visit the "National Crew", so I didn't say this request again.

"And what about the others?"

"Cage will come with Patricia. Charlize had just spoken to me on the phone and should be there soon. ”

A-grade production films like The Seven Deadly Sins. Premieres often invite celebrities to support the scene, and these people can be friends of the film director, the lead actor, or an artist from the same agency.

Litter arranged for Nicolas Cage and Charlize Theron to attend the North American premiere of "The Seven Deadly Sins," with the former being a friendly favor and the latter suspected of rubbing the red carpet.

However, whether it is Jude or New Line, there is no objection to such an arrangement, which is one of the unspoken rules of the Hollywood industry.

Do you really think everyone is idle? The answer, of course, is not that simple. I'll pull big-name stars to help you, and you allow me to rub the red carpet for famous artists, which is actually a deal.

Because Jude and Kate themselves are artists under Leeter's name, he didn't pull Nicolas Cage over this time, and he could still ask New Line to let Charlize Theron rub the red carpet today.

It can also be seen from this point that Litter's support for Jude is indeed sparing no effort, and it is impossible for him to do this step for other artists under his name.

But Jude didn't seem to appreciate it, frowned and asked, "It's just the two of them." What about Kevin? ”

Li Te's expression froze, and then he realized that Jude was joking with him, and immediately replied angrily: "Don't tell me, you don't know that "The Extraordinary Suspect" also has its premiere today. It would be strange if Kevin could come! ”

"Really?" Jude looked at Kate innocently, as if trying to confirm the news.

"It's not funny at all!" Kate glared at Jude and turned her head not to speak to him again.

I was really angry when I saw my girlfriend. Jude shrugged his shoulders and gave up his plan to continue to embarrass Leete.

When I got to the door of the screening room. Jude meets another acquaintance.

Before Leet and Kate could recognize each other, Jude had already stepped forward and handed his hand to the middle-aged man who was walking towards him.

"Mr. Mintz. We meet again! ”

"It was a coincidence last time in the UK, but not this time."

Fifty-four-year-old Ed Mintz laughed heartily as Jude shook hands, but Leete, who was standing behind the two, had a solemn expression on his face.

Kate noticed the change in Leet's expression and asked curiously, "Do you know this person?" ”

After saying that, she realized that this question was a bit stupid, and hurriedly changed her words and said, "Is he famous?" ”

"For the average movie fan, almost no one knows he exists, he rarely appears in public, and his name never appears in the media, but in the eyes of many studio executives, this man is unimaginably important - the film market research company he founded CinemaScore has provided the industry with immeasurable box office information over the past few years." ”

"He's the founder of CinemaScore?" Kate looked shocked, and at the same time had some doubts in her heart, didn't it mean that this person was low-key, why did he appear at the premiere of "The Seven Deadly Sins"?

Litt shook his head, he was more concerned about what Ed Mintz would say when he saw Jude than about it.

"Judging from the questionnaire collected from the test screening, the movie should be able to get an A- or even higher rating after its official release, so I can't wait to see how amazing this movie is with a super high audience reputation."

Ed Mintz explained why he had concealed his identity for the premiere, and Jude gave the same answer as he did last time at the UK premiere of Two Smoking Guns.

"If it's a bad movie, Mr. Mintz could give it a low enough score, but I don't think you'll have that chance!"
