Chapter 205： Stability hazards
Rick left the office, but Hugo and Joseph stayed in the room to prevent others from seeing the clues. They waited a while before staggering out.
After seeing the'door' of the office closed again, Hugo let out a long breath and turned to look at Joseph in a daze. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand in front of Joseph and shook his head, "Hey, what are you thinking about?" Joseph After regaining his senses, he looked at Hugo in front of him, "Don't you think about this project too? Don't think too much about it. The script is based on fate, you can't force it." Hugo smiled. Reassured, "Besides, you see those top figures are pushing around, maybe Spielberg is going to fall back this time."
After Hugo finished speaking, he was amused by himself. As an excellent traverser who knows "Schindler's List", tune. Playing with Steven Spielberg and joking about the failure of "Schindler's List", there is really an unconventional humor.
Joseph knew that Hugo was comforting himself. Hugo was obviously very interested in this project, but why, why did he not show it? If Hugo agreed to Lang Yimeier’s invitation and returned to Lang’s hand, Joining the "Schindler's List" project is not impossible, but why?
When Joseph was thinking about how to question his inner doubts, Hugo suddenly said, "Oh, yes, Lang came to me just now." These words made Joseph stunned. Hugo didn’t notice it, and continued to say, “He came over and told me a lot of things, anyway, he wanted me to sign with him again, it’s really a pipe dream. I really don’t know what circuit in his mind is. , How could I re-sign with him!"
"Why?" Joseph froze, he couldn't help blurting out, "Why don't you want to re-sign with him?" But after the words were finished, Joseph realized that he seemed to be eager for Hugo and Lang to re-sign, so he quickly calmed down and explained. To, "I mean, his offer should be very'tempting'. People."
"Hehe, the conditions are good. I have dinner with Sidney tonight and talk about the'Sugar Coated Trap', and then hint that I can be a member of the'Schindler's List'." Hugo said with a smile. Then, he noticed Joseph’s anomaly, but he didn’t think much about it. He thought that Joseph still cared about the project of "Schindler’s List". "But working with this kind of person means dancing with wolves. He is just for profit. To come to you, what you value is your value, and it is his purpose to squeeze every value out of you. Why should I take the initiative to send the'door', I am not an idiot."
"But, he does have the strength, and..." Joseph said hesitated, "and the brokers are like this? Benefits are paramount."
Hugo finally realized that the focus of Joseph’s words did not seem to be "Schindler’s List" but he did not understand the reason, but frowned slightly, "Joe, there are things that can be done, and some things can’t be done. I disdain to do things that I don’t want to do. Cooperating with Lang, this is what I disdain to do. This is a matter of principle. I think it’s a pleasure to work with you. In the past year, we have worked hard together. Isn’t this'very' good? I think This kind of partnership is much more comfortable, and there is no idea of change.
For Hugo, Joseph was the first person he met after crossing over, and he was also the closest friend he knew best, so there was no doubt that he was willing to trust Joseph.
Hugo's sincere and straightforward words hit Joseph's heart. Just now he was still wondering whether Hugo would go to Lang with the highest interests, but now it seems that it is entirely his own nonsense thinking. Joseph felt a little red on his cheeks, and he was ashamed of his small eyes.
Hugo now is no longer the decadent, ‘chaotic’, and terrible Hugo a year ago. The Hugo in front of him is positive, optimistic, cheerful, diligent and studious. More importantly, he is trustworthy.
Trust has never been an easy task, especially for Joseph. However, after a year of hard work, the loan event of Thanksgiving, and a brief conversation about the family, to this day, the seed of trust in Joseph's heart has finally sprouted, and he is willing to believe in Hugo. , Not because of what Hugo said, but because of what Hugo did.
Hugo did not feel the turmoil in Joseph's heart, because he didn't understand what Joseph was struggling in his heart. He smiled and said, "Of course, if one day in the future, you will also become profit-oriented. Agent, maybe I will find another suitable agent for me, unless you have enough strength to keep me."
As Joseph said, this is reality. Any broker will inevitably go through such a stage. The pursuit of interests will not stop. In essence, the broker is also a businessman. The biggest way to curb the inner greed of the agent is the strength of the artist. When the artist is strong enough to have autonomy, the status of the agent and the artist will change. At that time, the agent is a "part-time job attached to the artist." They must do all they can in order not to be fired by the celebrities.
Therefore, when he heard Hugo's ridicule, Joseph'showed' a relaxed smile. Although the corners of his mouth were not wide, the joy from the heart could not be more real, "No problem. The premise is you You have grown into a top superstar, and when that happens, you will be able to make your own decisions."
"Then let us see if I should become a top superstar first or you should become a top agent first." Hugo laughed haha, obviously in a very good mood. For the time being, "Schindler's List" is a huge ‘lure’. Putting down the ‘confusion’, Hugo realized that in fact, no matter whether he can become a member of these classic movies, at least he has become a member of this golden age. This is already worth celebrating, isn’t it?
Hugo's smile also made Joseph chuckle, and all the tension, worry and ‘confusion’ in his heart disappeared at this moment, and he was relaxed.
"Oh, by the way! There were too many people outside just now, it is inconvenient for me to tell you that Lang came to me and revealed a lot of information." Hugo only said unconsciously, but he answered Joseph's earlier Question: Why didn't Hugo tell him about Lang in the first place? Joseph couldn't help but twitched his mouth, and ‘showed’ a mocking smile: mocking his inferiority complex and suspiciousness.
However, Hugo did not stop and continued, "He hinted that the'Sugar Coated Trap' has not been auditioned until now, and there may be shady behind it." After that, Hugo realized that his statement was not accurate. It’s certain that there is a shady behind this kind of audition. Networking is a means to put it on the bright side. "No, to be precise, he is implying that Brad’s agent Martin has been active, and Tracy seems to also help. A lot of busy."
Joseph put away his inner thoughts and thought about it carefully, "I've heard about Martin, but I don't know about Tracy." Joseph realized that as an agent, his strength is currently It is limited, but there are still many things the agent can do. He can no longer stay where he is. He must take the initiative to attack. "Don’t worry, I will besiege Sidney these two days. I must meet and talk. Talk. This is just an audition, and it is not a role model. Even if you lose the election, you will still give you an accurate message. This is not a reason to keep dragging you."
Before, Joseph had scruples. On the one hand, he was scrupulous about the big-name combination of Sidney, Pollack and Robert Downey. He was a small agent who said nothing; on the other hand, he was also thinking that the "sugar-coated trap" was a For a big project of 60 million, he didn't want to mess it up because of his mistakes.
But now it seems that Joseph was still too shy and didn't let go of it at all. Now, Joseph decided to take the initiative, and the courageous and neat side of the'sex' figure was revealed.
Hugo nodded, and then explained that Tracy and Lang had been planning "Schindler's List" since March. Sidney also played an important role in "Schindler's List". The role of "color", so it is estimated that "Sugar Coated Trap" and "Schindler's List" may be a linkage reaction. The "conspiracy" behind Tracy and Lang also "exposed" part of it at this time. Hugo also expressed his concerns about "sleeping at night in Seattle", and talked about himself with Joseph. view.
After finishing all the things, Hugo thought of Rick again, "Joe, why is Rick willing to help us today? Is there any purpose? Or am I too sensitive?" Although Rick has always been very friendly, But today's conversation was not only friendly, Rick revealed too much inside information. Hugo thought it was very strange, but he wasn't sure if he was a little nervous about Lang's affairs.
Joseph sighed lightly, "In fact, it's the faction struggle within the company." This is not uncommon. Any company will have faction struggles. Such problems are bound to accompany where there are people. This is inevitable. "You saw the co-president Marvin Josephson attending the luncheon today, right? In fact, Marvin hadn't come to the company for almost two years before Why?" Hugo was quite surprised.
"Three years ago, Marvin successively delegated his work to Rick and other partners, and he went to recuperate and vacation. In these three years, Rick became the most powerful and powerful broker among the partners. People, and Lang and several other agents also have a lot of power." Joseph said simply, "but the factional struggle between Rick and Lang is not obvious, mainly because of the benign competition. Recently, Marvin has again At first he wanted to'intervene' in company affairs, but he didn't know why, and he wanted to regain power. Rick and Lang, who hold the most powerful positions, are all targets that must be dealt with. He wants to weaken the power of these partners. Then regain control of the company’s leadership."
Although Hugo didn't know the reason or the specific details, it couldn't be easier to boil down to internal power struggle. From this point of view, Rick showed good wishes to Hugo, and Lang wanted to win Hugo today, and there are signs to follow.
"Then they want you to stand in line?" Hugo realized that Joseph was also very busy today, and many people were talking to him.
Joseph nodded helplessly, but Hugo laughed afterwards, "Then this shows that you still have a bit of weight, not bad, at least it shows that we did not work in vain this year."
After seeing the'door' of the office closed again, Hugo let out a long breath and turned to look at Joseph in a daze. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand in front of Joseph and shook his head, "Hey, what are you thinking about?" Joseph After regaining his senses, he looked at Hugo in front of him, "Don't you think about this project too? Don't think too much about it. The script is based on fate, you can't force it."
