457 Chapter 457

"This shows that you don't trust me." Hugo is also angry now. When Ron Mayer came to the door, Hugo always thought that Joseph was his friend and he should trust his friend, so even if he missed "Shawshank" redemption", Hugo was not fooled either. But now, instead, Joseph came to accuse himself, which was ridiculous.

"So, you have to tell me that you have never thought about changing brokers?" Joseph also said with a sneer that recently, the pace of competition for power and profit in international innovation companies has gradually accelerated, and it seems that there will be another new year around the year. There is a storm, and the entire company is in a turmoil. Joseph currently has several resources such as Hugo, Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, etc., and has become an important weight, even Matt Damon is so The new recruits are all poached, not to mention Hugo.

Hugo laughed angrily, "I thought about it, of course I thought about it. When you're too busy to answer Frank Darabont's phone, when you're too busy looking for new projects for Cage but don't have time to put 'Shawshank's When the "Redemption" script was faxed to me, when I asked about the progress of the project and you shied away from responsibility, of course I fucking thought about changing agents. I didn't hire an agent to find a moth who didn't have time to approach me for work!"

"I thought we were friends." Joseph blushed at Hugo's series of words, "Didn't we already discuss that matter? I also admitted my mistake, why are you still holding on to it? put."

"Yes, that's the point, I thought we were friends, so I didn't plan to change agents at all, so when Lang came to me, I rejected him directly, and then listened to your explanation, even if you let me Disappointed, I didn't call Lang either. I thought we were friends, so I didn't hold you accountable, didn't expect your compensation, I even supported your work, but what did you give me in return? A scolding? Or an uncontrollable vent? Or an accusation without any reason?" Hugo's words made Joseph retreat, and he was speechless.

"I'm telling you, Quentin will talk to me about 'Pulp Fiction', purely by accident, neither of us expected the collaboration to happen - no, not yet, I just asked Quentin to confirm with you My promotion schedule." Hugo's anger also blew like a ball, he felt that all this was too ridiculous today, "Whether you believe it or not, this is the truth. So why don't you shut your mouth, Do your job and then worry if you're going to lose your job!"

One of Joseph's faces flushed with anger, he knew it wasn't easy to beat Hugo in eloquence, it never was, "So you admit that you want to change agents, you do Thinking about it, right? That's what you call a friend! You stab me on the other end of America while I'm running around for your next script, fuck you!"

After speaking, Joseph smashed the phone directly to the ground. He couldn't believe it. Recently, he has been screening the script for Hugo's next movie. He found a suitable project a few days ago, but this project There was no hurry for the time being, so Joseph didn't tell Hugo the first time that he wanted to give him a surprise when Hugo came back. But what greeted him was that Hugo met Quentin alone on the east coast to talk about the project. This was a sign of not believing in his ability to work, which made Joseph extremely disappointed.

Not to mention, there is Lang hidden behind Quentin. Lang is like a big mountain pressing on Joseph's head, even though he and Hugo have experienced ups and downs, even if he is willing to believe in Hugo, but when the rumors inside the company intensified, almost everyone thought that Hugo was going to rebuild. Back under Lang's banner, Hugo still didn't give any response. Instead, he brought news of "Pulp Fiction", which was almost a fatal blow to Joseph. On the one hand, it is saying that Hugo does not trust Joseph's ability and started to find the script by himself; on the other hand, it is connecting the triangle of Hugo, Lang, and Quentin. So, Joseph went out of anger.

After Joseph smashed the phone, he was still extremely angry, and the anger in his chest could hardly be quelled. It was in vain that he regarded Hugo as a friend and trusted this friend, but the result was still betrayal!

Hugo's anger was no weaker than Joseph's. He couldn't believe that Joseph would put all the blame on himself, and he would so easily commit Lang's alienation scheme. It was incredible. In the past year, Hugo and Joseph have gradually become good friends from a estranged and unfamiliar cooperative relationship. The trust between the two has also been established through accident after accident, but in the end, they are so fragile, even Vulnerable, like a castle built with sand, the waves didn't even have time to come, and just one high tide had destroyed everything.

First "The Shawshank Redemption", then "Pulp Fiction". As an agent, Joseph didn't think about himself, but worried that his agent's job would not be guaranteed, and suspected that Hugo might want to replace him. The bottom line is this: If Joseph is a great agent and a good friend, why would Hugo change him? It's even more fitting that Joseph spends his time on work rather than having time to be paranoid there!

What's more, the "Pulp Fiction" thing is even more absurd. Hugo and Quentin reached a cooperation by chance and accident, which has nothing to do with Ron Meyer.

In the face of Lang's alienation plan, he always insisted on his position. Don't make judgments without a comprehensive understanding of the matter. This is Hugo's ten years of experience in the society, so he categorically rejected Lang. In fact, even if Hugo doesn't cooperate with Joseph, it is impossible for him to cooperate with Lang. It is difficult for Hugo and Lang to get together.

But now, Joseph didn't remember Hugo's attitude towards Lang at all. Instead, he hung up the phone angrily as if he had been betrayed by him, which made Hugo laugh out loud. This is really ridiculous. , so ridiculous that one doesn't know what to say other than laughing.

The atmosphere in the car was tense for a while. Fu Jin drove intently, but his brows wrinkled unconsciously; Neil, who was sitting next to him, looked at Hugo with a worried expression, but he didn't. Knowing what to say; Pedro and Alfonso, who were in the back compartment, didn't dare to come out, and looked at each other. Hugo is not usually a person who likes to be angry. He often uses a smile to convey positive energy, but once Hugo gets angry, the strong and tense air pressure is enough to suffocate people. In an instant, the car is happy and relaxed. The atmosphere was swept away, and the entire temperature dropped to freezing point.

The scenery outside the car window continued to fly, and Hugo's anger finally settled down. In fact, Hugo knew it. This must be Lang's alienation plan. Lang must have some tricks in Los Angeles. This is something Hugo doesn't understand. "Pulp Fiction" is just an excuse, and it has become an outlet for Joseph's emotional catharsis. But Hugo was angry that Joseph didn't see this incident and was easily fooled, and the trust between the two of them was simply vulnerable. If this continues, even if they get through this difficult time, it will be difficult for them to continue working together in the future.

Hugo didn't know how other people and agents cooperated, whether everyone simply maintained a working relationship, and tried not to get involved in friendship, otherwise, it would be easy to create problems if the public and private were not divided. But in Hugo's view, the relationship between an actor and an agent is definitely not a simple relationship of hiring and being hired, because there are too few things that money interests can maintain, and it can easily be destroyed. Therefore, even if it is not a good relationship between friends Relationships, at least there should be a certain friendship, so that the cooperation can continue smoothly.

Henry Bloom is actually like this. Although he looks lazy and doesn't like to be in charge, as long as it involves the band, he can absolutely do it well. So far, he has not made any mistakes. When the band embarked on the journey again, although Henry didn't say anything, he got up early, watched the band drive away, and then went back to make up for his sleep. The relationship revealed by this detail is enough.

Thinking of this, Hugo couldn't help but feel a headache. He didn't know what state Joseph was in now, how bad the situation was, and how things would develop next. On top of that, he's just now on his home tour, so far away from Los Angeles, that he has no way of knowing for himself what's going on there, which makes things even more tricky.

"Hugo, do we have to rush back to Los Angeles first?" Neil asked with concern, looking at Hugo's frown.

Hugo froze for a moment, only to realize that his band members were all around, and shook his head, "No, no, this is a journey we have to complete. Once the journey has begun, it has to be completed. Besides, any Tough things are resolved one day, aren't they?"

Thinking about it, it's also good to let Joseph calm down for a while. Hugo didn't believe that Joseph would not be able to see Lang's strategy. After all, he and Joseph had been caught in the trap that Lang, Tracy and others jointly concocted before. Joseph is now angry, and he will definitely wake up after the incident... ...at least, that's what Hugo expected, since changing agents is not that easy, and Joseph was the first person he knew since he came to Los Angeles in 1992, and he didn't want things to get so bad.

However, this is just hope, can things really go their way? This journey home, long and short, filled with countless possibilities, makes life uncertain again.
