Chapter 620 620 Admiring the Eyes
Hugo's current position is indeed very delicate. On the one hand, his career is booming, and he can definitely be regarded as the most prosperous artist in 1993. Even in the front line, he can be in the forefront; It ended in April 1994, and now is the last day of 1993, and there are still no rumors of Hugo's latest whereabouts.
Under such circumstances, almost everyone wants to come over and get a share of the pie, especially within the international innovation management company. Being able to renew Hugo not only contributes a great force to the company, but also can make their own status rise. Therefore, From the very beginning of Lang, to today's Marvin, including Rick, who has always had a good relationship, all began to dig their feet.
It's just that Rick is the wisest of them all.
Although it was said that the contract between Hugo and Joseph was about to expire, not only did the news of the renewal of the contract not come out, but on the contrary, there was also news of the discord between the two, but Rick knew that Hugo did not fire Joseph, and he did not fire him before the contract was about to come. Since then, he has started to choose an agent, which at least shows that Hugo is a person who attaches great importance to friendship. Therefore, Rick did not come directly to dig a foothold, but had a conversation with Joseph, so that he could not only find out Joseph's opinion, but also examine the relationship between Joseph and Hugo, and also take a look at Hugo's opinion by the way, it is absolutely possible to say It is a strategy that can be attacked and defended.
This is also the reason why Joseph explained that Hugo must appear today. There is something about Uma and Rick. Joseph still hopes to have an interview, but since the two of them have no chance to meet at home, they choose to work in the company as an official business. Having a conversation is obviously the best option.
Hugo thought about it carefully, and then asked, "Did Rick say anything in detail?"
"No." Joseph shook his head, "But I heard some gossip inside the company. At present, Rick has contacted more than a dozen brokers with solid foundations, and they all expressed their willingness to leave the company and start a business."
In fact, the value of an agent's existence is not only the connections behind him, but the most important thing is the artists under them. If an agent leaves, it basically means that the artists under them will also leave together, because of the connection and cooperation between the artist and the agent. It is far closer to the company. Only a very small number of artists will choose to terminate the contract after the agent leaves the company, and then continue to stay in the agency or choose another agency.
To put it simply, if Joseph and Rick are now willing to leave the International Innovation Management Company and start their own company, then first, Hugo, Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck will follow Joseph went to the new company together; secondly, Joseph had the opportunity to become a founder or partner of the company from his status as a small employee, of course, provided that he could invest enough funds for the company's initial establishment.
Hugo nodded slightly, indicating that he knew, "Then don't worry for the time being. In this matter, the real worry is that they are the top players with power. We can only be regarded as a bargaining chip, and we have no ability to control the situation of the battle. . So look at the development of things first, I think there will be changes in two months at most, and then look at the situation and make the most suitable choice for you."
Joseph looked at Hugo's thinking and made a clear analysis, and couldn't help but nodded. This was also his idea. Although he had a good relationship with Rick, he also knew that not everyone was eligible to join this kind of power game. , so when Rick tested his tone before, he also answered without leaking, without revealing too much information.
Joseph will specifically talk to Hugo today, not only because of the subtlety of Hugo's current situation, which has attracted the attention of many agents, but also because he wants to remind Hugo and give him an early warning.
After the topic was finished, Joseph found that the meeting room fell into silence again, which made the two of them a little embarrassed, and then heard Hugo say, "Do you want to go out to the banquet again?"
Joseph twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded, "At least have something to eat." After speaking, he chuckled dryly, but it made him feel even more awkward, and then he pushed open the door of the conference room first, looking at Glancing at Samora, who was standing not far away, he smiled as a greeting, and then quickly walked towards the dense crowd at the luncheon.
Hugo didn't go out immediately, but sat on the table in the conference room and let out a light breath. He could feel the kindness released by Joseph. No matter what the quarrel was, at least Joseph successfully completed his work, and Joseph was indeed worried about his career and work.
But...if Joseph didn't want to bow his head and apologize first, things would still be stiff here, because Hugo didn't think he was at fault, and Joseph's accusations against him were unreasonable. As for the "Pulp Fiction" thing, they were perfectly fine. Negotiate slowly, and Hugo didn't think it was a mistake to choose "Pulp Fiction", so Hugo would not apologize, only Joseph would apologize.
Thinking of this, Hugo suddenly felt a little headache again. At least from the conversation between the two today, Hugo could not see any sign of apology from Joseph. He was still just completing his work, but this time it was not through Anna. Or Samora to communicate, but he talks to Hugo himself, that's all.
Hugo let out a long sigh and spit out the depression in his chest. Then he stood up and left the conference room. Samora, who was standing not far away, came over and asked with his eyes, "What's wrong?" Since Samora and Hugo have only been working together for less than a month, the tacit understanding between the two still needs to be cultivated. Samora doesn't know if it is appropriate for him to ask, so he did not ask, but inquired with his eyes.
Hugo saw Samora's eyes and smiled, "It's about the group of clowns who performed acrobatics just now. It is estimated that a major event is going to happen in the company."
Samora suddenly realized, "It's not about your work." He is Hugo's assistant and has nothing to do with International Innovation Management, so he naturally doesn't care about the power game within the company at all.
However, before Samora's words were finished, his expression suddenly fell into a state of surprise, "Hugo, be careful..."
Hugo paused subconsciously, and when he looked back, he saw a figure that was less than a fist away from him. This made Hugo hurriedly braked and stretched out his hand to try to support the figure in front of him, but he didn't want the figure in front of him. People seemed to sense that there was someone behind them, and they turned around and took a big step back, and then they got farther and farther from Hugo's hands.
Immediately afterwards, Hugo saw the lady in front of him step back, and the waiter behind him who was walking around the arena with champagne was startled. He wanted to step back, but he didn't have time. He bumped his shoulder lightly, and then the waiter fell out with an unsteady center of gravity.
That's it, the scene was like dominoes. The people who fell in the direction of the waiter all retreated, and there were a lot of exclamations, which made the scene suddenly chaotic.
Hugo saw that he had made such a mess because he didn't pay attention. He subconsciously took a step towards the waiter, then squatted down, stretched out his right hand to support the waiter's back, and pushed up hard. At the top, he immediately supported the messy footsteps of the waiter and stabilized his center of gravity, but the tray in his hand still slipped down. Hugo is not Superman, so...
Bang, bang, bang, all the champagne glasses hit the ground, but fortunately, because the floor was carpeted, the wine glasses didn't shatter, but the champagne was still splashed all over the place, causing the surrounding people to retreat.
Hugo didn't care about spilled champagne. Compared with these external things, people's well-being was the most important thing, so Hugo stood up straight, looked down at the waiter and asked, "Are you all right?" The waiter asked. He wasn't too frightened, but he smashed the champagne in his hand, which made it more troublesome to clean up. He nodded repeatedly and gave Hugo an answer.
Then Hugo looked back at the lady who was almost hit by him, took a step there, stretched out his right hand to help her up, "Are you okay?"
"Uh...Yes, I'm fine." Cameron Diaz was frightened, grabbed the big slender hands in front of him, and stood up in shock, just to avoid the man in front of her, she turned sideways , but did not want to trigger a chain reaction, making the luncheon scene suddenly chaotic. Fortunately, no one was injured, and she just fell to the ground.
When Cameron stood up, she realized that the man in front of her was actually him.
In fact, Cameron was a little surprised just now. Most men would come to help the lady first. No one seemed to care when the waiter fell, but the man in front of him went to help the waiter first, and instead let her fall to the ground. let her down.
But Cameron quickly understood that if the waiter didn't stabilize his focus quickly, the group of people next to him would probably suffer, and if the champagne glass was crushed, someone would definitely be injured. Therefore, the actions of the man in front of him are only to avoid the expansion of the disaster.
Immediately afterwards, the man handed over two clean tissues and said with a smile, "You have champagne on your hand, please wipe it."
The warm smile and the gentleman's actions immediately warmed Cameron's heart. She looked at the man in front of her, took the tissue, and touched her skin a little bit. She could feel the man's warm body temperature, but it was hot. Make her heart warm. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as her impression, the gentleman was polite, warm and considerate, and the sunshine was bright, which made her heart thump and beat.
Cameron looked at the man's shallow smile, raised his head and showed a bright smile, and said brightly and sunnyly, "We meet again, but I didn't expect it to be on such an occasion, Hugo Lancass. special."
