Chapter 548 548 Sleepless Night
Although Los Angeles in December is not as cold, it is not as warm as San Diego, and this night is destined to be a sleepless night. Media reporters are excited and excited. In the 1990s when the Internet had not yet developed, reporters There was no way to immediately post the news on the Internet, which caused heated discussions among netizens. Everyone had to wait for the newspaper to be published after dawn before the frenzy of public opinion could be launched.
But the 24-hour radio program spreads widely what happened from this afternoon to the evening through the airwaves. I am afraid that at this moment in the entire United States, there is no knowledge of Michael Jackson's molestation. There are only a handful of people involved in the case of children, and very few people are unaware of Hugo's horrifying remarks. This has completely become the hottest topic in major TV news programs and many national radio programs.
Alfonso quietly came to the company headquarters of International Innovation Management Company on Constellation Avenue, but the guards at the gate did not let him in. Although Glory to Death is also an artist under the International Innovation Management Company, because Henry himself is sloppy, he almost did not appear in the He is responsible for all the work in the company's office, so this is the first time Alfonso has come to the company - and the current glory to death obviously does not have enough popularity, so the guards are naturally unwilling to let it go.
In desperation, Alfonso could only call Joseph and ask him to pick him up. Alfonso looked at the number of elevators jumping down from the seventeenth floor, a little dazed.
Glory to Death had just finished dinner, and everyone disbanded and went home, but Alfonso did not go straight home, but turned to come here. Alfonso knows that the relationship between Hugo and Joseph is still in a completely rigid state. Their mutual friends have tried to persuade them both secretly and implicitly. In addition, neither of them thinks they are at fault, so there is no compromise at all.
Now the mutual friends of the two are forced to stand in line. For example, Fugin supports Hugo, Carl has to support Joseph, Charlize and Alex are both on Hugo's side, and Alfonso can only choose to stand. On the side of his own little Joseph. This situation is very bad, and it makes the usual relationship become stumbling.
Although this state is uncomfortable for everyone, Alfonso is especially obvious. On the one hand, he has known Joseph since he was a child. He knew what kind of person he was when he was young. He was willing to believe in Joseph unconditionally. In fact, he would have been willing to join Glory to Death at the beginning. The fact that Joseph is Hugo's agent is undoubtedly very important. Important; but on the other hand, as a member of the Glory to Death, he knew Hugo bit by bit, and he saw clearly what Hugo had done recently, although the relationship between Hugo and Joseph was clear. He didn't know much about the matter, and he was on Joseph's side, but he also knew that Hugo was not a vexatious person.
So, Alfonso wants Hugo and Joseph to talk openly and honestly, more than anyone else.
After two rough seas this afternoon and evening, especially the one in the evening, Alfonso realized that he had to stand up, because he was the link between Joseph and Hugo. So, Alfonso appeared here.
Joseph soon came to the first floor, "Hey, Sunshine boy, why do you want to come to the company to have a look? I don't think you intended me to take you around." Joseph seemed to be in good spirits, although A Fonso believed that Joseph would not hit someone for no reason, but Anthony's remarks still had to be verified. At this time, seeing Joseph standing in front of him, Alfonso also let go.
"I wouldn't choose a late night to visit the company. Now that no one is there, it's just an office building. What's there to see?" Alfonso also said with a smile.
After Joseph explained it to the guard on the first floor, he took Alfonso into the company smoothly, "How about it? The album promotion is not bad recently, right? I listen to the radio program, but I can often hear about you."
"Then why don't you call and care?" Alfonso's rhetorical question made Joseph look away in embarrassment, and said casually, "At the end of the year, there are too many things to be busy with."
Alfonso didn't plan to take the drug in the first place, so he didn't continue to pursue it, but took the initiative to change the subject, "I've never been to the company before, your office and the record department are not together, right?"
"Yes, movies and records are two different departments, and I'm not very familiar with them. I've been in the company for two years and I haven't seen it." Joseph secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if Carl or Alex came over Talk to him and he can respond forcefully, but if it's Alfonso, it's hard for him to fool him because they both know each other too well.
The two chatted casually all the way and entered Joseph's office, "So, this is your office." Alfonso walked into this small space, although it was only over a hundred square feet (ten square meters) Left and right, but the good lighting and scenery make up for everything, but when the eyes fall on the table, there is no time to clean up. When there were takeaway boxes for Chinese cuisine, coats and documents piled up on the sofa, Alfonso shook his head helplessly, "You're willing to stay here, but don't want to go home?"
Joseph was still eager to introduce his office to Alfonso, but he was hit by the cold water, and his excitement cooled, "You know, the end of the year is always busy, so it's more convenient here. ."
"This is the second time you've said you're busy. Now I finally know how disappointed Hugo was when he heard you keep saying that you were busy." Alfonso didn't let Joseph go down the steps, he just said, This sentence suddenly made Joseph's face darken.
"So you came to condemn me today, and Hugo asked you to come here?" Joseph's words caused Alfonso's astonishment, and then Alfonso shook his head with a helpless smile, "I think I know why. Every time I try to defend you in front of Hugo, Hugo gets a bitter look on his face. That's all you think, that's all you think about my old friend? If so, it seems I am today Wrong."
In fact, since Hugo and Joseph quarreled, although Alfonso had spoken to Joseph many times, because the band was always in a busy state, Alfonso always contacted Joseph by phone, and only met two after returning to Los Angeles. next face. But even so, Alfonso has a simple understanding of the situation, and has been trying to say good things to Joseph in front of Hugo, hoping to ease the situation, but every time he has a face, which makes Alfonso more and more determined Joseph's position.
But today, Joseph is like a hedgehog, full of aggressiveness, which makes Alfonso very disappointed.
Joseph looked at the disappointed Alfonso, and couldn't help but feel a little irritable, "Otherwise? If you didn't want to speak for Hugo, why did you appear in my office?"
Instead, Alfonso laughed. He kept tapping his chin, trying to soothe his anger with this movement, "Yes, I'm here to speak for Hugo. Because I think you're too naive, like a first grader. When your mother didn't want to buy you a football, you stubbornly stood by the street for three hours and didn't want to go back to the house."
Joseph didn't plan to hide his emotions, because it was not necessary in front of Alfonso, he frowned and said, "You say I'm naive, you mean it? Do you know what happened? You know the rain Is Guo trying to betray our friendship? Did you know that Hugo didn't listen to my advice after he thought he was successful?"
"Really? Why, in my opinion, are you mocking yourself?" Alfonso was not afraid of Joseph at all, and immediately pushed back, "You said that Hugo was trying to betray your friendship? But I see But it's been so long since Hugo came back to Los Angeles, you are still his agent, and he still refuses all the offers from other agents! You said Hugo won't listen to your advice after he succeeds? But I see The thing is that Hugo always insists on himself, he was like this before he became famous, and he is like this now, and you? What about you?"
"Busy, busy, busy, you're like the boss of this company, you're too busy, you miss one of Hugo's scripts, and then you miss another, so, is Hugo changing, or are you already It's changed!" Alfonso's undisguised words stinged Joseph bloodily.
"****!" Joseph also roared at Alfonso angrily, "The whole company knows that Hugo is going to join Lang, but I don't know, you were also deceived by Hugo, if he Will he tell you if he wants to change agents? Of course not! For Hugo's sake, I hope he can take on a big movie and make a breakthrough in his career, but what about him? It's a complete insult to my work for me to accept a rubbish movie with an investment of 8 million!"
"Don't tell me about those professional things, I don't understand and don't want to understand. I just know, why do you believe the rumors in the company, but you don't want to believe the fact that Hugo has never replaced you? Are these rumors better than rain? Is Guo more credible than my words? If Hugo wants to change an agent, why should he hide it from you? He let out the wind, I believe a large number of agents will come over, I think you know better than me."
Joseph was completely stunned by Alfonso's remarks. The authorities were fascinated by the onlookers, and Joseph had never seen this clearly until now, and was directly pointed out by Alfonso.
"As for the movie you mentioned, I don't know if it's worth taking, and I don't know if it has an impact on Hugo's career, but I know that the encounter between Hugo and Quentin was indeed an accident. We were in a bar at the time. , I met Quentin by accident, and then Quentin suddenly wanted to invite Hugo to star, so he asked Hugo to meet in New York."
This time, Alfonso did not roar, but said it calmly, but as a bystander told Joseph another fact that he had always ignored.
After he finished speaking, Alfonso turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and said, "This evening, a reporter from the National Enquirer slandered you for beating your fans for investigation, and also said that the Golden Globe Award You were the one who beat up that time. I was frightened at the time, but I couldn't contact you immediately, and I felt uncertain for a while; however, Hugo stood by your side without any hesitation, and the reporter who said it was dumbfounded. Speechless. That's why I'm willing to speak for Hugo today."
This time, Alfonso really turned around and left, leaving only Joseph standing there with a confused look on his face.
