Chapter 655: 655
Steven Spielberg just said a word casually, but it made Hugo's mind suddenly think of a lot of things.
In fact, things about Tracy have been making a lot of noise recently. Although Samora doesn't have any contacts in the circle, and Henry doesn't care much about the film circle, after all, Alex, Charlize, Carl and others are more or less all the same. I still know a little bit, including Hugo, everyone thinks that it should be Steven's actions, which are vigorous, meticulous, continuous, and interlocking, but Tracy has no strength to fight back.
But now it seems that is not the case.
In the celebration feast of "Schindler's List", Hugo is one of the protagonists who do his part. Except for Steven, even the actor Liam Neeson is not as bright as Hugo's gathering, but Hugo is Always a little distracted.
Hugo was very angry. The more he thought about it, the more angry he felt. He was angry that Tracy was behind Joseph's plan, but he didn't know anything. In the end, he needed Steven to tell himself; he was angry. The only thing is that Joseph did not regard himself as a friend at all, no communication, and no trust!
When he had a dispute with Joseph, it was because of lack of communication that he missed the "Shawshank Redemption" at the beginning, and the following series of things were even more so, from the non-existent change of agent incident, Joseph did not want to believe him, but listened to it. Rumors within the company; when it comes to the "Pulp Fiction" script, Joseph still doesn't want to believe his words, but just thinks from his own standpoint; finally, when it comes to the communication between the two sides on the next work arrangement, Joseph thinks it's for him For the sake of thinking, but he didn't really listen to his thoughts at all...
Since when did the friendship between them begin to lose communication and trust, which caused the two to drift apart.
The two of them are friends and brothers. They are not a relationship between men and women. They don't need to play tricks like a man pursues a woman, nor do they need to talk like a woman when they accept a man's pursuit, and they don't need to push when they are in a relationship. Push and pull! Friends can be honest and communicate with each other. They have come this way for more than a year, at least in work, exchange opinions and exchange ideas with each other, fight side by side in the vanity fair of Hollywood, and move forward with difficulty. .
Perhaps objectively speaking, Joseph is not an experienced agent. He can't use his connections to turn the tide like Ron Mayer, Martin Baum, Rick Rosen, and even Henry Bloom is better than Ron Mayer, Martin Baum, Rick Rosen. Joseph is a few paragraphs higher; but Joseph grew up with Hugo, and he continued to learn and work hard as an agent. This time, the conspiracy and trap against Tracy is obviously the masterpiece of Joseph's career so far. Showing his scheming calm and profound.
And more importantly, Joseph and Hugo are friends. They are friends that go beyond a working partnership. They support each other and move forward, facing Ron Mayer's difficulties and Tracy Jacobs. In the face of the power game within the company and the impact of journalists, the two of them have never been left behind, standing side by side firmly. This friendship that shares weal and woe is the most precious thing.
But in the past three months—or in the past six months, there has been no communication between them, let alone trust. They are just suspicious of each other. Because of some rumors, they have lost their original beliefs, and the difficulties and dangers of Vanity Fair have just begun In the beginning, even before the others tried their best, cracks appeared in their friendship. Why did this happen?
This time as well, Joseph was planning for Tracy behind his back. Obviously, Joseph was clearing the way for Hugo. Even strictly speaking, Joseph saved Hugo once. If no one stopped Tracy, who would know How far this incident will end up, maybe Steven won't have any impact because of his deep roots, but Hugo, who has a shallow foundation, can't say for sure.
But what about Joseph? He didn't say anything and still refused to communicate.
The last time we met, Joseph specifically reminded Hugo that he must pay attention to Uma, which shows that Joseph still regarded Hugo as a friend-even though the two had almost stopped talking in the past few months, but at that time Joseph still Didn't tell Hugo anything about Tracy, why? Because Joseph did not trust Hugo, Uma was in direct contact with Hugo, so Joseph had to remind Hugo to be careful, and Tracy was planning behind it, so Joseph did not need to let Hugo know.
Joseph knew that the Creative Artist Agency was poaching, and Marvin Josephson, Ron Mayer, and Rick Rosen all had their own plans, but he still chose to shut up. what does that mean? It means that between believing in Hugo and giving up cooperation, Joseph chose the latter.
This is what made Hugo angry. He couldn't believe that the friendship between two people was so cheap. After the bitterness and hardship of fighting together, after the confrontation and stalemate in each other's quarrels, after the happiness and happiness after success Cheering is actually such a simple result, which makes the friendship between the two people a joke, and makes Hugo's insistence all the time absurd.
Hugo was really angry, just out of anger. The moment Hugo saw Joseph, it was like a wild horse out of control.
Hugo was chatting with Liam originally, but when he saw Joseph appearing in the banquet hall out of the corner of his eyes, his fists clenched tightly involuntarily, and then without any thought, he strode towards Joseph. , Most of the people in the banquet hall watched Hugo rush over like an angry bull, and their curious and astonished eyes focused on Hugo.
Hugo walked straight in front of Joseph, gritted his teeth tightly, didn't intend to say anything at all, and didn't intend to give Joseph any time to react. He slammed his right fist into Joseph's cheek.
Joseph had just walked into the banquet hall, and before he had time to settle down, he watched Hugo come angrily. He didn't know if he should speak, let alone what he was going to say, and then he didn't have time to react at all. , was hit hard by Hugo. Joseph only felt that his jaw was hit by a bullfight, and the entire weight of more than 200 pounds fell directly backwards. In order to maintain his center of gravity, Joseph couldn't help but back up again and again, and only then stabilized his feet and did not fall.
But Hugo didn't give Joseph any time to react at all. He followed with two big steps, then a left hook, another right hook, and finally a hard kick to Joseph's stomach. This continuous combination of punches Joseph, who did not have a firm center of gravity, fell to the ground clunky.
Joseph fell to the ground in a state of embarrassment. Hugo's fist was really unsympathetic, and he slammed it down so hard that he only felt that his eyes were staring at this time, and then he saw Hugo's shadow pressing up again. , raised his fist high, which made Joseph have no way to think. He could only protect himself subconsciously. He raised his right foot and kicked Hugo's stomach hard.
Hugo's entire center of gravity was pressed forward, and when he was kicked by this sudden kick, he felt that his entire abdomen was curled up, as if he would spit out everything in his stomach at any time. He staggered two steps aside. But Hugo didn't think much about it. Before he could stand completely, he rushed up again and kicked Joseph's waist with his right foot.
Joseph rolled on the ground in fright, hurriedly avoiding Hugo's right foot, and finally couldn't help shouting, "Hugo Lancaster! Are you on drugs, or your brain is flooded?" It's over!" After speaking, he spit out a mouthful of saliva, which was already full of blood.
"I just don't like you, you bloody fat man!" Hugo gasped heavily, raised his fist and wanted to step forward again. But Joseph didn't intend to be beaten passively at this time. He half-kneeled, bent his head, and pushed his shoulders against Hugo's stomach. Hugo was in a forward stance, and his stomach was directly hit by Joseph's shoulders. One hit, and almost vomited out.
Hugo didn't care, he raised his knees and slammed into Joseph's chest, gnashing his teeth as if he had encountered an enemy; and Joseph did not show weakness. After being beaten hard, it is natural that he will not be caught now, so he also tries to counterattack, but since he was at a disadvantage before, it is not so easy to regain the disadvantage.
At this time, the people in the banquet hall were terrified, and the harmonious atmosphere of the scene was completely disrupted. Surprisingly, Hugo, who usually looks like a gentle and gentleman, is an absolute expert in fights. Joseph's strong body and powerful fists are not at all dominant. Instead, he is beaten by the agile Hugo. The power of parry is jaw-dropping.
Compared with the mental fear brought by Amon Goss in "Schindler's List", Hugo in front of him was like a blood-soaked god of war, and his eyes revealed a terrifying bloodiness, which made people shudder.
The guests at the scene seem to be a little overwhelmed. Today is a celebration banquet, not a party. The guests who come to the scene are all excited, but they see two people fighting together as if they have a bloody feud. This is really a blast. scene. Some people even recognized that the object of Hugo's beating was actually his manager Joseph, which reminded people of the previous rumors about their feud, and his eyes suddenly became meaningful.
But the only luck was that no reporters came in, so things didn't escalate further.
"Hugo, you're crazy!" Joseph panted, trying to stop the farce in front of him.
But Hugo didn't give Joseph a chance to breathe at all. At this time, his anger had reached its peak, and he stared at Joseph with wide eyes, "How dare you! If you don't treat me as a friend, why should I treat you as a friend? friend!"
After Hugo finished saying this, Joseph's resistance was stiff in place, and then Hugo slammed a right hook directly on Joseph's chin, and Joseph fell straight back." Bang" for a while, and all the dust on the ground was lifted up.
