Chapter 241 241

The reporters watched Hugo and Joseph leave the banquet hall, as if they were in a military parade, and they walked out of the hall. Or an interview with Hugo?

Nicholas had no such scruples. He almost followed Joseph, left the banquet hall one after the other, and then chased after Hugo who was walking in front, "Hugo, Hugo!"

Hugo's footsteps did not stop and continued to walk forward, while Joseph turned around and said with a serious face after seeing that it was Nicholas, "Nicholas, we have already said what we should say, we will not. Will be interviewed again."

"Oh! Joseph, be friendly." Nicholas said with a smile, it could be seen that he was in a good mood. Witnessing the splendid head-to-head confrontation just now, it was difficult for him to restrain the corners of his mouth.

But Joseph obviously didn't have such a good mood. He gritted his teeth and retorted, "You should be friendly!" Although Joseph and Hugo did not read any newspapers before leaving today, which led to their passiveness at the beginning; but after entering Before the banquet hall, they went to the bathroom to adjust their mood, but unexpectedly overheard the discussion at the Four Seasons Hotel, and learned that the "Los Angeles Times" had a black Hugo this time. This is definitely not good news!

The more moments like these, the more Hugo needs allies. They thought the Los Angeles Times would be an ally, but it wasn't.

Nicholas knew what Joseph was talking about, and he raised his hands helplessly in a gesture of surrender, "Take it easy, I also want to make a living and eat." The sentence sounded as if Joseph forced him to do something unconscionable. Joseph was speechless.

"Hey, hey, Joseph," then another reporter, panting after him, hurriedly handing over his business card, "I'm James Larter from Us Weekly, and I hope I can help the rain. If you write an exclusive interview, let Hugo express his views on this incident from his perspective." Joseph did not take the business card, which made James a little anxious, "I have written two manuscripts for Hugo before, you can go and see , I am absolutely sincere."

Joseph hesitated, "Are you... the reporter who praised Hugo after the premiere of 'The Last Analysis'?" After Hugo participated in "The Last Analysis", US Weekly published a The article made Hugo instantly become the focus. Joseph remembered this incident, but it had been almost a year, and his memory was rather vague, so Joseph was a little hesitant.

"Yes, yes!" James looked very happy and nodded vigorously in affirmation.

Joseph pondered a little. "US Weekly" is a comprehensive magazine, but the content of the reports is mainly about gossip. In the United States, it is also regarded as the leader of the gossip media. Although it is said that artists still need to focus on professional images, But gossip is an inseparable part. So, Joseph took James' business card and planned to go back and read the report James wrote for Hugo.

"Joseph, I made the appointment first!" Nicholas was immediately upset, he was the first to catch up, and his competitor took the lead.

Joseph raised his eyebrows, "You should have said it directly." Although Nicholas chased after him just now, he didn't say anything. Joseph was playing tricks on Nicholas, which made Nicholas stunned. And Joseph did not intend to stay to continue the conversation, turned around and left.

Nicholas and James stood there, watching Joseph catch up with Hugo with different expressions, and then the two left the Four Seasons Hotel. At this time, a large number of people in the banquet hall chased after them. In fact, the conversation just now took less than half a minute, but it was still too late for the reporters to chase after them. It would be more troublesome to interview Hugo next. This made these reporters a little depressed, so they could only return to the banquet hall again to continue interviewing Anthony, hoping to continue to dig out more content about this incident.

Hugo and Joseph returned to the car, and Joseph saw Hugo rubbing his temple gently, "What's wrong?"

Hugo shook his head, "It's fine. It's just too tiring to deal with these reporters. It's more tiring than acting and creating." Before Hugo thought reporters were too simple, he thought he was rolling in the underground rock circle. Over the past ten years, I have seen countless reporters' tricks, and I definitely have no problem dealing with reporters, but obviously he was wrong, not only what happened last night, but also Anthony's on-the-spot response today. surprise. This made Hugo feel very tired. He actually missed the time when no one paid attention to the glory of death.

Thinking of this, Hugo smiled bitterly. This is really a contradiction. When no one is paying attention, I hope to be able to create a sky of my own; but when there is a real spotlight, I feel tired because of this excessive attention and confusion. The road to the entertainment industry is long and difficult, and Hugo is just getting started.

"So, what to do next?" Hugo was a little at a loss.

Joseph thought for a while, "We've said everything we need to say, and then we'll see what the media will do. We'll see how the media will react tomorrow. We can only hope that what happened last night can be seen by everyone. Clearly, someone is willing to speak for us." Joseph paused, "I will contact a few media outlets to test their words and see the situation."

At such a moment, Joseph's lack of connections is reflected again. If it is Lang Meyer or a professional public relations agent, he will definitely be able to contact some authoritative media to stand up and say good things for Hugo. A heavyweight ally can often change the course of events. Of course, although Joseph is not well-connected, he still knows a lot of media, so there are still many things he can do.

Hugo can't help but sigh, he is now glad that the Internet has not yet developed. If it is the 21st century, there is no chance for him to breathe. It is estimated that there was a lot of trouble on the Internet last night. Hugo and Joseph did not discuss at all. time, they will feel the huge pressure of public opinion, making them fall into a more difficult quagmire. Now, with paper media taking the mainstream, even mobile phones have not been fully popularized, and the speed of information dissemination is obviously relatively slow, which gave Hugo a chance to fight back.

"Oh, Jesus Christ, I actually forgot!" Joseph wrinkled the media and beat his head hard, "You have an audition at ten o'clock." Joseph closed his eyes, although he knew that blaming himself at this time would not solve anything Problems, but he still inevitably thinks that as an agent, he really has too much to learn. Not only that, but he needs an assistant and Hugo needs a manager, otherwise things will only get worse. But Joseph didn't have time to blame himself and slump at this time, because he had to get to Universal Studios quickly.

"Audition? What did you say?" Hugo was only confused, he didn't understand what was going on, "When did you get the opportunity to audition?" Before that, Hugo had never heard Joseph mention it.

Joseph drove quickly in the direction of Universal Studios while explaining, "Last night."

"I met Arnold Kopelsen backstage yesterday, the producer of 'Field Platoon'," Joseph explained briefly. "He's currently working on a brand new film, and he thinks you can audition for the male lead. . I chatted with him for a long time, I think the script and the character are really good, you can try it." Speaking of this, Joseph remembered the situation at that time, "Oh, by the way, before the Anthony thing happened, I It's just talking to Arnold and that's why we have to be in the corner."

Hugo remembered that before he and Uma went to Joseph yesterday, Joseph was standing in the corner chatting with others, and couldn't help but nodded. Joseph continued, "He said he could set aside time this morning to see how your audition went, and if it was good, he could call the director, the writers, and have a lunch with us to discuss the possibility of you being in the show. "

Really sincere, no wonder Joseph nodded and agreed, "But I didn't expect so many things to happen, I almost completely forgot." Joseph slammed the steering wheel, expressing his anger.

"Come on, Joe, we didn't know it was going to be like this, did we?" Hugo thought more openly, "After all, you see, this press conference is a must, and even if we remember having an audition, it can't be changed. After all, the audition can still be adjusted, and even if it is missed, there will be others in the future, but this time the accident must be dealt with immediately."

Joseph also knew that this was the case. If Anthony's matter was not handled properly, then it is estimated that Hugo would not want to find a job for a long time. But even so, Joseph still can't control his anger. He is more angry with himself. Since the end of last year, things have been happening one after another, from family to work, but he has not dealt with them well. It's too bad. .

Hugo knew that Joseph was blaming himself, and he also knew that Joseph had been in a state of anxiety since Thanksgiving. Family affairs were mixed with work, which always made people anxious. Hugo patted Joseph on the shoulder and said, "Joe, you've done a great job, at least you've won me a rare audition, and that's fortunate, it's the only one of these two bad times. Good news."

Hugo's words made Joseph twitch the corners of his mouth. Hugo laughed lightly, "Okay, are you in the mood to talk to me about this audition now? I'm not prepared at all, at least let me know what the subject matter is."

"Oh, yes!" Joseph nodded. "It's a high-IQ thriller action movie called 'The. Fugitive', and the story is about..."

Joseph was still making a brief introduction, but Hugo's eyes suddenly lit up: What, "desperate"? This is the first Hollywood movie that has been introduced in China!
