Superstar

As agents, it is the artists who can truly embody their abilities. The performance of the artists is their medal, which attracts more artists to join.

Lang Mayer is very capable. Leaving aside other things, the ten-year plan for Hugo can be seen. In recent years, Lang’s artists have developed very well, but he has always had a fatal weakness. It is that there is no real top artist under his staff.

The so-called top-notch refers to artists such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Julia Roberts. At present, the most outstanding artist in the development of Lang Hand is Michael Douglas, the four-year-old Oscar actor who relies on another one this year. "Instinct. Ability" reached another peak. But Lang is still one step away from the top agent and lacks a top artist.

As a producer, the real thing that can truly reflect their value is the movie, either word-of-mouth or at the box office, and the more outstanding have both. This can win them more voice and initiative when dealing with the production company. right.

Tracy Jacobs is an outstanding producer. There is no doubt that she and Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox and other giant film production companies have Out of the "color" cooperation, but also won a lot of records in front of the box office and word of mouth.

But in the past three years, Tracy’s career has encountered a bottleneck. The three works that Hugo starred in were all produced by Tracy. In other words, the failure that Hugo suffered was actually Tracy also faced write. It’s just that the producer’s circle is more tolerant, and Tracey is not a lavish producer. This allows Tracey to retain a good impression in the minds of the production company, but she wants to make a comeback. It is not so easy.

Both Lang and Tracy are facing a dilemma, so they need to find ways to break this dilemma and create a new peak in their careers. The two of them are currently planning this project, Hugo does not know the ins and outs, but what is certain is that they ambitiously want to persuade Universal Pictures to invest.

As for Hugo, it can only be said to be collateral damage. If Lang and Tracy can win this project, Hugo must be completely unrelated to this project-provided that Hugo is interested in this project. In the film industry, agents and producers want to block actors. Although it is somewhat difficult compared to film companies, it is not impossible. In fact, they use their contacts and resources to ban all the projects in their hands. If this actor is completely closed, then the actor's future in the circle will be very difficult.

It seems that Lang and Tracy did just that, starting with "Dahe Love", including the premiere of "Instinct. Ability", as well as the project they are planning this time, plus the "sugar-coated trap." ——Hugo strongly suspects that Sidney has not contacted him so far, and whether Tracy played any role in the back, otherwise it would be too abnormal.

The "conspiracy" behind the past year has finally "exposed" a corner of the map, and this can only be said to be a stage of "sex" territory, the future is uncertain, Lang and Tracy's The greater the achievement and the greater the power in the entertainment industry, the more difficult it will be for Hugo to emerge. Although they do not have an'intersection' with each other, they are completely opposed sides. There will be less-if one party is completely lost, it's a different matter.

Although Hugo relied on "Scenting Fragrance and Knowing "Female" People" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" to break through the blockade of Lang and Tracy, and achieved current results, the future is still uncertain. For example, "Sleepless in Seattle" was invested by Samsung Pictures, a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures. Who knows if Tracey's influence is strong enough to affect Samsung Pictures' decision. After all, "Night Sleep in Seattle" is not a big production, it is just a small project investment, and the influence of contacts will naturally have more room for exertion.

However, it can now be seen that Lang was shaken by the rise of Hugo. If Hugo is willing to join Lang, he may find a crack in the alliance between Lang and Tracy, and may even take the posture of a rocket. Get to the top quickly. But will Hugo do this? Absolutely not! There is no room for negotiation.

Victor Hugo once said, "I would rather rely on my own strength to open my future, rather than seek the favor of the powerful." This is Hugo's idea.

More importantly, although he and Joseph have only partnered for a year and stumbled all the way, Joseph is still young and immature, but the friendship between the two is priceless. Hugo is willing to stick to this friendship in this cruel and cold society where money is supreme.

Joseph came back with the fruit. He just met several partners in the company under the introduction of Rick Rosen, which delayed some time.

In a brokerage company, becoming a partner means reaching the sky in one step and becoming the owner of the company. Every broker has such an opportunity. Lang Mayer and Rick Rosen are all promoted from an ordinary broker to a partner. . And Joseph, relying on Hugo's strong performance this year, entered the sight of partners for the first time. Although it is only a potential stock, it still makes Joseph feel infinitely encouraged.

Joseph walked back at a brisk pace, but he didn't see Hugo where he was. This is not surprising. Today's lunch meeting Hugo was originally the focus. Joseph stood there and searched around, and then he saw Hugo and Gary were talking. Joseph raised his foot and was about to walk over, but unexpectedly stopped because of the two gossips next to him.

"Lang talked to Hugo just now, did you see it?"

"Nonsense, Lang must be trying to persuade Hugo to come back. Cut, he has this ability and thinks about getting something for nothing every day, even digging into the corner of his company's colleagues."

"That may be true. Maybe Hugo wanted to go back a long time ago. Comparing Lang and Joseph, anyone can see the difference at a glance. Hugo has been pestering Lang before."

"That's true. In fact, Hugo has achieved such good results this year because he relied on himself. Joseph did not contribute anything. The "Scent of Fragrance" Female "People" is a collective audition and has no technical content; "Yihai Xiongfeng" It was introduced by Goodman, and it was not because of Joseph that he finally won the role, and it was not Hugo himself who was very good, and the pay was pitifully low."

"Che, you are jealous, Joseph is lucky, so what can you do..."

The latter words are that the two people ridiculed each other, but Joseph's footsteps stopped, and his heart turned overwhelming. Lang unexpectedly came to Hugo again! But...it’s not unexpected, isn’t it? Lang was originally a guy who was good at camping. He saw that Hugo’s development was blocked at the beginning, so he transferred Hugo’s contract to himself. Now Hugo has re-emerged, so naturally he wants to sign it back. But, will Hugo agree?

If it was a year ago, Joseph would know the answer without asking Hugo at all. Hugo would definitely not wait to sign a contract with Lang; but now... Joseph hesitated. In fact, he wanted to believe in Hugo. Joseph has seen the tremendous changes in Hugo, and he also believes that Hugo has been reborn. What's more, the two of them have struggled all the way. Although they have not experienced any strong winds and waves, they have gone through many setbacks and difficulties. Now Joseph is willing to believe in Hugo. But……

However, now that Hugo has achieved such good results, from an objective point of view, Lang’s hardware and software conditions are better than his own. If Hugo wants to go to the next level, it is definitely a wise choice to join forces with Lang Qiang. He, even the audition for "Sugar Coated Trap" has not been knocked down until now. Every time he calls Sidney, the assistant answers the phone. So far, he has only talked to Sidney once, but no progress has been made. Any smart person knows how to choose

This is a fact, and this fact makes Joseph a little frustrated.

Joseph stood on the spot, watching Hugo and Gary talk in harmony with each other with smiles on their faces, the originally excited face gradually stiffened. I don't know when, Hugo came over again and greeted with a smile, "Hey, you are here, where did you go just now? It took a long time to get a fruit."

Joseph looked at the smile on Hugo’s face. He stopped talking. He wanted to directly ask if Hugo had a conversation with Lang, and what he had talked about, but he didn’t know how to speak. In the end, he could only cautiously. I tentatively said, "I met a partner and chatted. What about you, what did you do here just now, I believe you will never be bored today."

Hugo originally wanted to tell Joseph about Lang, but think about it carefully, now is not the right occasion. The entertainment industry is full of gossip, and there are definitely a lot of things with ears on the wall, not to mention there is no wall here~www. readwn.com~ So Hugo made up his mind, and talked about it after he went back, so when the words came to his lips, it became, "It's not just a polite chat, it doesn't make much sense."

When Joseph heard Hugo's answer, his face was darkened: Hugo didn't tell the truth, he didn't even mention Lang's affairs. Joseph wanted to believe in Hugo, but at this point in time, it seemed to become very difficult.

In fact, Joseph is not angry. People go from high to low. This is a theorem. It is absolutely wise to choose a senior agent like Lang. This is the case from a rational standpoint. And such things are not uncommon in the entertainment industry, as if Carl has not kept any artist by his side. In addition to relying on a sentiment for the new generation of agents to retain artists, their own abilities are also indispensable, and Joseph knows that he still has too many shortcomings.

Therefore, Joseph is more frustrated and discouraged, which makes his emotions unable to rise. Hugo smiled and said something in front of him, but Joseph's left ear came in and his right ear came out. He couldn't hear what Hugo was saying, until the thin figure of Rick appeared in his downward sight. He just realized: He was distracted just now and didn't know what was going on.

Then Joseph heard Rick say with a smile, "Come and sit in my office. I have prepared a New Year's gift for you."
