Chapter 48 048

"Hugo, Hugo, left, left!" Joseph had to stop Hugo who was standing at the intersection and lost his way. He clearly shouted to the left, but Hugo turned to the right, which made Joseph really It's dumb to cry.

Hugo was originally insensitive to directions and positions, but after being yelled at by Joseph, he realized that he had made a mistake again, and could not help but touch his nose embarrassingly. The people around who were working saw Hugo's embarrassment, and couldn't help laughing lowly, making Hugo even more embarrassed.

Joseph followed and said helplessly, "Left, this is the direction." Then he walked to the front to lead the way, but the stiff expression on his face completely relaxed. Hugo pursed his lips and walked quickly behind Joseph.

After getting back into the elevator, Joseph's brain also regained his sanity. He raised his head and glanced at Hugo vaguely, then withdrew his gaze and whispered, "Sorry." Joseph was doing his job for the sake of his ability. Apologize, he could clearly see the confrontation between Hugo and Lang just now, and he also knew that Hugo had completely settled his mind and chose to believe in himself, but Joseph could not bring the corresponding work to Hugo. It made him a little frustrated.

Hugo shrugged nonchalantly, "No need. Aren't we all working hard?" Hugo is trying to be a good actor again, while Joseph is trying to be a good agent, Of course, this process will not be too easy, but the process of hard work is so beautiful.

Joseph didn't say anything, but he started to think about what job opportunities he could get for Hugo in addition to "Ben. Can", but then Joseph thought of one more thing and raised his head to look at Hugo, " Your attitude towards Lang just now... was very tough." This is not the Hugo he remembered, the former Hugo trusted Lang very much, mainly because of the long-term cooperation in the past six years. But that's not the case today. Could it be that Hugo finally sees Lang's true colors?

Since Hugo directly contradicted Lang in the office, he was ready for Joseph to be suspicious. Sure enough, Joseph asked, and he pretended to be calm and replied, "Then what about me? Kneel down and cry and beg Lang to give it to him. My invitation?" This retort made Joseph choked, but he didn't know how to respond. Hugo went on to say, "Since he's not optimistic about my future, why should I beg him to set his sights on me? Besides, he's not a super handsome guy, so I don't like his style."

Hugo's last sentence of self-deprecation and ridicule reminded Joseph of Gary's blatantness just now, the corners of his mouth began to twitch again, and the smile in his eyes flickered slightly.

The elevator soon stopped on the seventeenth floor, Joseph took the initiative to walk out, and Hugo followed behind and began to look at it. The atmosphere here is completely different from the 23rd floor. The 23rd floor is a formulaic office space, and each office isolates the space of each broker; the 17th floor is more like a normal office. , Everyone has only one large or small work compartment, and you can talk to the colleagues next door by stepping back half a step of the office chair.

Stepping out of the elevator, Hugo can clearly feel the noise and laughter coming, and the whole floor is full of vitality. As soon as Joseph went out, people kept saying hello to Joseph, and he didn't forget to wave and nod to Hugo. Compared with the official business on the 23rd floor, this place seemed more humane. Hugo even wondered if it was the same company here.

Following behind Joseph, Hugo quickly came to a small cubicle, watched Joseph skillfully sit on the office chair, then raised his head and asked the opposite, "Carl, where's Charlie?"

A familiar face on the opposite side raised his head, "Going out." It was Karl Earl, the agent who was chasing Charlize back then, "Hey, Hugo." Karl also saw Hugo, He greeted with a smile on his face.

Joseph asked Hugo to sit next to him in the vacant seat of his agent named Charlie, and he explained casually, "Carl switched seats earlier this year and sat across from me." Then Joseph began to pile up countless documents in his own room. The desk began to search, and he muttered, "Where did the address book that Lang gave me last time went."

After Karl stood up, he didn't sit down, but asked Hugo, "Hugo, do you still have contact with Charlize Theron? She never returned my call, so..." Karl's expression It's a little embarrassing, he doesn't even have an artist, and sits in the office all day in a daze. Looking at the tall and tall Karl standing in front of him, it was like a wall, but the expression on his face was so sincere and unexpectedly harmonious.

In a brokerage company, the basic salary is pitifully low, and the brokers have to rely on the artist's work to earn a living. Without an artist, the income is low. Carl's current life can be said to be miserable, and even the rent is almost impossible to pay.

"No, I haven't heard from her since I went to New York." Hugo could only say sorry, seeing Carl's disappointed expression, Hugo added, "But I told her before that you are A very good agent who can be trusted."

Hugo's words gave Carl a glimmer of hope, and he couldn't help showing a smile, "Thank you."

"Hey, Hugo!" A voice came from behind, interrupting the conversation between Hugo and Carl. Hugo turned his head and saw a middle-aged man in his fifties. Hugo was full of strange faces. The question mark in his head, "Who is this?" Unfortunately, the memory of the predecessor in his head did not give Hugo any response.

Fortunately, Joseph also noticed the sound, and when he looked back, he stopped the workstation in his hand and got up. With a friendly smile on his face, he greeted him, "Mr. Witt! Why are you free to come to the company?"

Witt? The surname and the unfamiliar and familiar face in front of him finally awakened Hugo's memory. The person in front of him was Paul Junger Witt, a film producer. And the reason he met Hugo was because he was the main producer of the Dead Poets Society. In short, Paul is one of the heroes of Hugo's fame.

"Mr. Witt, it's really been a long time." Hugo also held Paul's outstretched right hand and greeted politely. Although Hugo did not experience the filming process of "Dead Poets Society" and had no familiarity with Paul at all, this did not prevent Hugo from expressing admiration for Paul, because "Dead Poets Society" was originally one of his favorite movies. one.

Paul laughed, "You've been lost in the colorful neon of Hollywood for the past few years. It's not that easy to meet." As an elder, he said this jokingly, and Hugo had no way to refute it. . "But I heard that your cooperation with Al Pacino this time is very good. The crew is full of praise for you. I finally heard good news again."

"Huh, I hope it's not too late now." Hugo replied with a smile, which immediately made Paul laugh out loud.

"I didn't expect to meet you here today. Now that I do, let me ask you, I have a movie that will premiere next week next week. Are you interested in attending the premiere?" Paul was also happy. , looked at Hugo with a smile, "I came to the company today to ask for invitations. There are only 200 invitations for this premiere, and several of the leading actors have been divided. As a result, two of my friends wanted I couldn't get an invitation letter to attend, so I made a special trip to see it today."

After speaking, Paul raised several invitation letters in his hands, "Fortunately, I still have a little face, and I did not disappoint my friends, otherwise I will be nagged for a while."

Joseph's eyes lit up when he heard Paul's words, and someone brought a pillow just as he was dozing off. Although he was severely rejected by Lang, who would have thought that Paul, who had a good understanding of Hugo in another village, would come to the company today? Perhaps, this is the opportunity that really belongs to Hugo.

"Isn't your invitation letter for a friend?" Joseph asked cautiously, but the seriousness in his eyes still revealed his inner desire. He didn't want to miss this opportunity.

"No, the agent gave me an extra one to express my apology. If Hugo has time, he can come over and cheer for our movie. I think the reporters will be very willing to see Hugo appear." Paul said Hugo still I appreciate it very much. Although Tracy let Hugo into the crew of "Dead Poets Society" at the beginning, Hugo conquered the entire crew with his own strength, and also won the love of film critics. "As long as you don't disapprove of the small scale of our film, this time the film only invested 25 million. Next week, we will face the 'instinctiveness' of Columbia Pictures. I really don't know what the prospects will be."

Although the investment of 25 million US dollars is not comparable to the scale of "Ben. Can" of 49 million US dollars, it is also not to be underestimated. Such a suitable opportunity is really rare.

"Of course it would be great to be able to attend the premiere." Hugo glanced at Joseph, and he quickly determined Joseph's urgent mood, so he agreed, "You know, I recently It's not that easy to get a job opportunity." Hugo curled his lips mockingly after speaking.

Since the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo's situation in Hollywood is more or less known to the industry. This is why Paul saw Hugo just now and took the initiative to step forward. If he can, he doesn't mind pulling Hugo again. Yes, especially after he listened to his friend's performance on Hugo in "Smell the Fragrance and Know a Woman".

"March 18, Fox Theater, don't be late." Paul smiled at Hugo's self-deprecation, took out an invitation letter in his hand, and handed it to Hugo, "I still have something to do, so I'll go first. I'll talk about it on the day of the premiere."

It was only after Paul left completely that Hugo showed a bright smile, swung his right fist vigorously, and raised the invitation letter in his left hand, "Joseph, I have a new job offer!" Joseph and Karl, who were next to him, looked at Hugo's sunny smile and couldn't help but get excited.
