Chapter 564 564 Behind the Rumors

Roland Parkin left without too much entanglement, and left neatly, but this kind of simplicity made people see his heroic mind, because Roland knew that there was a chance that he didn't need to entangle and retire 10,000 Step by step, "Hugo" is not unique in Hollywood at present. From this point of view, Roland is better than Ron Mayer, because the tolerance of mind often determines a person's future height.

Quentin didn't leave, he stayed on the grounds of "Pulp Fiction" and some other things, the topic went around the script, and after hesitating again and again, he still said sincerely, "Hugo, today's I'm really sorry about this, I didn't know Roland was here for this, Harvey just told me he wanted to meet you, he was interested in your character in 'Pulp Fiction' and I didn't think too much about it ."

Quentin's personality is very forthright, and he is also the kind of person who places great importance on friendship.

Not only did the Weinstein brothers have a kindness to him, but more importantly, the two brothers were friends of Quentin. Although the Weinstein brothers have always had a bad reputation in Hollywood, they are not only domineering, interfering with the director's filming and post-editing work, and even unreasonable; and they have completely transformed the Oscar competition into a public relations war, allowing the industry's internal The voices against the two brothers are perennial, but in Quentin's view, friends are friends, and he is willing to support the Weinstein brothers unconditionally.

So, the Weinstein brothers joined Disney with Miramax, and Quentin followed; the Weinstein brothers fell out with Disney and left Disney with nothing, but Quentin kept up until 2014. , All of Quentin's works are produced in cooperation with the Weinstein brothers, which can be called the absolute direct line of the Weinstein brothers.

Although the relationship between Quentin and Hugo is not hardcore, Quentin also knows that Hugo is definitely taking a huge risk in order to star in "Pulp Fiction", especially after "Schindler's List" is released. The booming word of mouth and box office made Quentin almost think that this cooperation was going to be a waste - no actor would take a salary of $300,000 under such circumstances to star in a work that only invested 8 million. nobody! This is an affirmative sentence.

In order to protect their artists, many agents will directly block low-cost independent films like "Pulp Fiction" and prevent these scripts from meeting the artists, so Quentin even considered whether to bypass Joseph and talk to the artists again. Hugo contacted to take a look, but unexpectedly, the cooperation was actually achieved, and it was even easier and simpler than he had expected.

Under such circumstances, Roland actually used himself to dig Hugo's footing, and Hugo didn't seem to like it, which made Quentin a little embarrassed. Although he had already apologized once, now Quentin still Decided to formally express my apology. Even in the eyes of others, he is kept in the dark, but Quentin has such a personality. For friends, he will not make excuses to shirk his responsibilities.

When Hugo heard Quentin's second apology, all the pressure in his heart relaxed, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face, "I know, it's not your fault. Besides, when I saw Roland left today, I can't say I'm in a good mood, and I hope he won't take your anger out of you when you go back."

"He dares!" Quentin's nickname of "ruffian" is definitely not a random one, and his whole body is permeated with the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, which reminds Hugo that one of Quentin's favorite types of movies is gangster movies. Especially the golden age incense. Hong Kong movie, Hugo couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

After going around and finally confirming the "Pulp Fiction", Hugo was relieved, but this was a bit unfamiliar to Hugo. In the past, these things were all handled by Joseph, but this time "Pulp Fiction" "There was no sign of Joseph on the signing occasion.

What has happened in the past four or five months has really caught people off guard. The success after "Yihai Xiongfeng" did not make the two lose their minds, and the Golden Globes incident did not make the two lose their confidence, but the great success of "Sleepless in Seattle" was still dizzy after all. Rolling must be the way to go.

Hugo remembered the British writer William Thackeray's work "Vanity Fair (Vanity. Fair)", which is as famous as Charles Dickens (Charles. Dickens), about the nineteenth century middle and upper class society. The story, the characters in the story are busy fighting for power and position, proving for profit, the so-called "the world is bustling, all for profit; the world is bustling, all for profit", fame, power, and wealth are all connected. . This is probably life.

To be honest, everyone lives either for the sake of fame or for profit. Those who are not for the sake of fame or for profit will also put their love on the landscape and wander the world. After all, what they want is to enjoy themselves. It's just that you can see the true meaning of life without being blinded by fame and fortune and stick to your heart.

But, is this such a simple thing? Hugo has gone through ten years of hard work in underground rock and roll, and experienced unimaginable things like crossing the road. He also experienced ups and downs in his life. He still hasn't been able to fully see through fame and fortune. It wasn't until the Golden Globe Awards that he suddenly became enlightened.

Therefore, what will happen in the future is still full of countless unknowns. Hugo only hopes that he can stick to himself and take steps to continue walking, so that he will not waste his chance to win new opportunities in life.

Roland's digging was unsuccessful, and the news spread like wings, but the news that spread was not "Hugo refused the invitation", but "Innovative Artist Agency and Hugo interviewed", which should have been Quentin Tarantino and "Pulp Fiction", who are the protagonists, disappeared in this wave of news.

Obviously, the most likely possibility is that this news was released by Roland himself.

Joseph knew the news at the first time, and the creative artist agency poached Hugo. This is news enough to make every agent feel uneasy, but Joseph calmed down after knowing it.

Since the last time Alfonso got angry, Joseph tried to contact Alfonso many times, but found that Alfonso was unwilling to pay attention to him, and was obviously very disappointed with his performance. After that, Joseph began to investigate, and he found that Lang was indeed poaching Hugo, but there was no movement until now, which means that Hugo really rejected Lang.

So what are these rumors about the company? Is it that Hugo really intends to join Lang, but the time has not yet come; or is it that Lang is creating pressure from public opinion, hoping that Hugo will make a decision soon;

This is not such a clever method, but it is better than the ingenious timing. On the one hand, Hugo is far away from Los Angeles and has been in the rush of the tour. Now the inconvenience of communication equipment is equivalent to cutting off the communication between the two; Joseph's own workload increased sharply, which led to the failure of "The Shawshank Redemption", so there was a breeding ground for the spread of rumors.

In addition, Joseph also found that the competition between "Farewell to the Sentient Days" and "Schindler's List", Tracy's actions are indeed very frequent, although it has been temporarily suppressed by Steven Spielberg's strength recently. She lived with Tracy, but Joseph immediately understood that after Tracy missed "Schindler's List", she was obviously planning a big move, and "Farewell to the Sentient Days" was her trump card, which meant that A: It's definitely not over yet.

Today, Joseph saw the news of the creative artist agency poaching Hugo. If it was a week ago, it is estimated that Joseph's first reaction was anger, and his second reaction was worry; but now, Joseph can calmly perceive the loophole: Hugo will and When Roland met, Quentin was a role that could not be ignored, and Hugo went to meet Quentin for the sake of "pulp fiction", so it was obviously not that simple behind this matter.

Man is actually a very interesting individual. When angry or impulsive, even if the truth is right in front of him, he cannot see it, just like love blinds his eyes. Anger always makes all rationality useless; When you come down, many things become much easier. Of course, emotions cannot be controlled by control, because people themselves are emotional animals, not cold robots.

After Joseph noticed so many details, he immediately had a bad premonition, not only because of the confrontation between "Farewell to Sentient Heaven" and "Schindler's List", and not only because of the next confrontation of Tracy There will still be moves, he always feels that there should be other things, Tracy knows nothing about the current strength of "Schindler's List", she can't put all the chips here, there must be other plan, but what is it?

But after thinking about it carefully, Joseph never had a clue, and he could only give up in the end, hoping that he thought too much.

After understanding the twists and turns behind him, Joseph didn't feel his head throbbing again. He knew that he owed Hugo an apology, but it was obvious that the time had passed, so he didn't know how to speak, and he couldn't find it. It's really frustrating.

Sitting in his place and thinking for a while, Joseph picked up the phone on the desk and connected the internal line, "Anna, Hugo's assistant is called Samora Casvey, right? Yes, you contact him way to me."

Joseph remembered that he hadn't met Samora yet, Hugo's new assistant, and he also had to meet with Hugo's music manager Henry Bloom. There must be a lot of things to do in the future. contact. Joseph realizes that he seems to have missed a lot in the past five months, and since he doesn't know how to apologize to Hugo, why not start with his own work, which may be a good start.
