Chapter 47 047

Lang's rejection was too blunt and direct, and did not save Hugo any face at all. Joseph regretted a little. He shouldn't have brought Hugo with him. He subconsciously looked back at Hugo and expressed his concerns.

Hugo felt a little innocent at this time, because personally, he and Lang had nothing to do with him. Today was the first time they met, so even if Lang rejected him, Hugo didn't think too much about it. I feel that Lang is really not showing any affection. So in the face of Joseph's gaze, Hugo's eyes froze for a while, and then quietly and slowly drifted to the side: because he didn't know what the correct response was to him at this time.

As a senior agent, Lang naturally couldn't "humiliate" the other party in front of Hugo. This was too rude, so he finished his words and immediately looked at Hugo, "Hugo, you know, It's not aimed at you, it's just 'Ben. Can' the positioning of the movie doesn't match your image, which is really inappropriate."

These words are purely nonsense, and it is not for Hugo to play "Ben. Neng", but to participate in the premiere ceremony. It is as if the actors invited their relatives and friends to attend a party and a party, and the movie's The subject matter and nature are irrelevant. Unless Hugo is underage right now, Nalang's argument has a bit of truth.

Hugo's eyes only floated halfway. He didn't know how to respond to Joseph. Hearing Lang's words, he took advantage of the situation and said, "Uh, what is my image?"

This sentence pushed back, but Lang was stunned, but after all, he is also a battle-hardened person, and he quickly reacted, "Youth, vigor, health, sunshine." Although it is an adaptable answer, it is very To be precise, Lang also served as Hugo's agent for six years. Hugo is an actor brought out by Lang, and he still understands this very well.

"Then why can't I attend this premiere?" Hugo immediately followed up with another question, which was much more direct than Joseph's. In an instant, Lang was at a loss for words, and the whole person seemed a little embarrassed.

In fact, as far as Hugo is concerned, he doesn't know what Joseph's arrangements are for, what occasions are suitable, and what activities are helpful to the actor's image. Hugo has never touched these things, so naturally he does not understand. But at the premiere of the film "Ben. Neng", Hugo was still a little interested.

Although I don't like Sharon Stone, the film "Ben. Neng" came out in the past, which can be said to have broken the fantasy of countless teenagers about the relationship between men and women. The exposed scenes in the film are really unforgettable. According to rumors, many top actresses refused to act because of too many exposed scenes in the film, but Sharon, who was unknown, undressed in front of the camera in order to get the role. In the end, Sharon got the role, and a Fight to fame. It also makes the film full of Hollywood-style bright-faced rules.

Of course, as far as artistry is concerned, there isn't much to discuss about this movie, even though it was a worldwide sensation the year it was released, but the heroine Sharon and director Paul. Verhoeven are behind the film. , have never come up with a masterpiece, and in their respective careers, "Ben. Neng" has become the only masterpiece.

Hugo was also a little curious about what the premiere of "Ben. Neng" would be like.

In the face of Hugo's quick answer, Lang couldn't answer for a while, which made him a little embarrassed. The young man who was once easily controlled by him seems to be out of control today, "You know, we Hopefully, the bigger the premiere, the better, not all actors of all levels will be able to get the chance to attend."

This is actually an irony that Hugo's level is not enough. Lang has restrained himself. He is very annoyed by the fact that after Hugo left his wing, he has repeatedly come to him to ask for help. He doesn't get any remuneration for helping Hugo now, it just increases his burden. , not to mention that after the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo was deeply in the quagmire. Helping Hugo would be a loss-making business, and Langcai was not so broad-minded.

Thinking of this, Lang's tone couldn't help but become a little stiffer, "The negative impact of the Golden Raspberry Awards has not dissipated yet. Columbia Pictures doesn't want to associate their films with the Golden Raspberry Awards."

The offensiveness of these two sentences is very strong. It can be called a snake hitting seven inches. It directly hits the point that Joseph is most worried about now: before the release of "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman", Hugo was carrying the worst Golden Raspberry Award. The title of the male protagonist is expected to be ridiculed for a long time.

"Stallone will be very disappointed to hear this." Hugo replied with a smile. In fact, there are countless big-name actors who have won the Golden Raspberry Award in history, including Laurence Olivier, Brooke Jr. Silk (Brooke. Shields), Daryl-Hannah (Daryl. Hannah), etc., so Lang's words can be said to have overturned a boatload of people. Of course Hugo knew that was impossible, and if Sylvester Stallone was going to be at the premiere of "Ben. Can", Lang would definitely be asking for it.

But in the face of Hugo's counterattack, Lang was not worried at all. Instead, he pulled out a disdainful smile, "Let's talk about it when you reach Sylvester's level." The subtext is: You still Not enough quantity.

Lang's words were really merciless, basically wiping out the six-year friendship with Hugo Lancaster. In fact, for a high-level broker like Lang, he has 80 or 100 clients. He has no way to take care of them one by one. Naturally, it is to maximize the benefits. Whoever can bring him the most commissions will be right. Who cares the most, the reason is very simple. Similar to Hugo, an actor who is half-red, not purple, or alive, Lang really disdains to do more communication.

Joseph, who stood by and watched Hugo and Lang come and go, couldn't help but sighed that Hugo's attitude towards Lang had changed dramatically. The originally expected Hugo's inclination towards Lang did not appear, but faced Lang's rejection and rejection. Hugo didn't get angry either, and now Hugo has a head-to-head confrontation with Lang, which is really surprising.

But at this time, Joseph couldn't care to continue to sigh, Lang's words became more and more ugly, almost torn his face, Joseph immediately stood up, "When Hugo reaches that level, he will not stand here. That's it." One sentence sarcastically made Lang's face change as he satirized that Lang was not qualified to take on the jobs of these big-name actors.

"If it wasn't for Hugo's 'excellent performance' at the Golden Raspberry Awards, it wouldn't be today." Lang Yi looked like a bad-tempered person, and said in a stern voice, the impatience in his tone was no longer concealed. , it seems, he does not welcome Hugo to come to him at all.

This sentence immediately made Joseph stuck in his chest. If Lang hadn't persuaded Hugo to attend, how would Hugo go to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, how would he make a fool of himself, and how would he face all the difficulties in the future. Now that it's good, Lang is still slapping a rake, which is really depressing.

"You better not be jealous of Hugo's success after 'Scent of a Woman' comes out!" Hugo saw Joseph get angry for the first time in two months, even backstage at the Golden Raspberry Awards, even when Joseph was not angry when he was provoked at the audition for "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", but today he vented his temper unabashedly.

At this time, Hugo realized that Joseph was also a young and vigorous young man. He was only twenty-eight years old this year, and the impetus and recklessness in his bones had not dissipated.

"It's better to have such a day." Lang said with a sneer, with a look of disdain, obviously he was not optimistic about Hugo's development prospects at all, otherwise he would not have signed Hugo to Joseph. Lang wanted to maintain a good relationship with Hugo before, but now he couldn't help it, and he showed his true emotions without any cover up. "Since that's the case, you shouldn't be here today, and you shouldn't ask me for an invitation letter." Joseph who said this was immediately blocked on the spot.

"Then, if you have nothing else to do, please leave." Lang regained the high stance they had when they just came in, and rushed people directly, "I'm very busy, and there are still three calls waiting for me to reply." Lang directly He picked up the phone on the desk, pressed a key, and shouted directly into the speakerphone, "Gary! Please leave Joseph and Hugo, I still have a meeting." This direct expulsion order is completely red fruit. contempt.

Facing the sudden outburst of Lang and Joseph, Hugo himself didn't feel deeply. After all, he crossed over halfway through, and he didn't experience so many things, so his natural experience was not so unforgettable. But looking at Lang's disgusting expression at this time, Hugo was also repelled for a while: Since everyone is eager to clear the relationship, why should they come to the door?

Hugo pulled Joseph's arm and said indifferently, "Joseph, let's go. Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson are still waiting for Lang's reply. Don't disturb other people's work." One sentence made Joseph unable to hold back, and he burst out laughing.

Although it was only a fluttering sentence, it directly hit Lang's sore spot. Lang can be called a top agent now, but he has no real top superstars. Michael Douglas, who is currently the best performer, was not brought out by him. To put it bluntly, it is his hard power. Not recognized by the industry. A real ace broker must have personally pushed a newcomer to the top, and what Lang lacks is precisely this stepping stone.

Joseph's laughter added fuel to the fire, causing Lang's anger to erupt directly, but he couldn't refute it, otherwise he would just make himself even more priceless. So he could only watch Hugo and Joseph calmly leave their office, before leaving, Hugo smiled at Gary and said, "Gary, Lang is picking up Steven Spielber now. (Steven. Spielberg), please don't disturb him."

After Gary watched Hugo leave, he looked at Lang, who was full of anger, with a puzzled face. Lang was not answering the phone at all. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Spielberg?"

"Go away!" Lang no longer suppressed his anger, and roared at his assistant.
