Chapter 722 722 Friends Location

Joseph drove to Los Angeles International Airport, and after showing his pass, he entered the filming location of "Speed ​​of Life". Although it is said that the crew has been filming at the airport recently, they only occupy a small part of the airport. In order not to affect the normal operation of various flights at the airport, the crew must work in a fixed area.

Joseph skillfully parked the car in Hugo's dedicated parking space. Due to the improvement of Hugo's status and the number one role in the "Speed ​​of Life and Death" crew, Hugo's treatment in the crew has also changed. , dedicated parking spaces are just one of them. However, Joseph did not get out of the car as usual, but sat in the driver's seat in a daze.

Joseph only learned about Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck in the past few days, but so far it's just a rumor. Joseph guessed that there should be only a few contacts at present, not The actual distribution of benefits is discussed, so Nicholas, Matt and Ben should also be considered.

But Joseph knew that the probability of the three of them being dug out and leaving was more than 60 percent. The main reason is that I took the two works "Pulp Fiction" and "Life and Death" for Hugo. In the eyes of outsiders, these two works were provided to Hugo by Joseph, and obviously, no one is optimistic about this. The development prospects of the two works means that Joseph had a major problem with Hugo's career development planning - at the critical moment when Hugo's career took off, he actually chose such two works. Bad decision.

Therefore, it is only a matter of time before Nicholas leaves Joseph and joins the creative artist agency; and Matt and Ben have a higher chance of changing their agents.

If Joseph wants to salvage the situation - as Carl said, he will do his best, then this period of time is very important. Joseph will have to communicate face-to-face with Nicholas and others, and use his actual actions and his own three-inch discrimination. Rotten tongue to persuade them to stay and continue to choose himself as their agent.

In fact, with Joseph's current ability, whether in terms of network or business ability, he is capable of fighting, not to mention the two newcomers Matt and Ben, even Nicholas is entirely possible to keep him.

But Joseph didn't act at all, or even asked, as if he had never heard of those rumors. These days, Joseph has been busy with Hugo's affairs and Oscar's affairs, as if he has no time to think about his three subordinates. It's common for famous actors to be poached.

why? Why is this so?

Joseph's brain was a little tired, and the thoughts hidden in the back of his mind were lifted up by Carl's remarks just now, which made Joseph rub his temples and let out a long breath, trying to make his face resurface. He smiled, then opened the door and walked out.

Joseph walked over to the crew and found that the filming was going on at this time, but it was not Hugo's part, but the part of the movie where the Los Angeles police and the news media collided. The figure of Guo and Samora, and then walked towards the rest area.

From a distance, Joseph saw Hugo and Sandra, who were chatting, laughing and having a good time. He didn't go over to disturb the two, but went to the other side and sat down. Samora and the theater manager. After discussing the precautions for the next scene, he also walked over with the script, "Today's next scene is exciting enough that the entire crew is mobilized." Samora walked over to Joseph and leaned against the dressing table. , said with a smile.

Joseph took out the clothing catalog from his briefcase, "Oh, by the way," but heard Samora's voice say, "Superman called just now, saying that he has something to discuss with Hugo, do you know what it is? How could he have anything to do with Hugo." Superman was referring to Karl Earl.

Joseph's movements stopped involuntarily, and he looked at Samora in astonishment, "You didn't ask Hugo to answer the phone, did you?" Joseph suddenly had an ominous premonition.

But Samora didn't know what was going on. "Just now Hugo was resting, and I handed him the phone... What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Samora also noticed Joseph's stiff face.

"Oh, no..." Joseph sighed in annoyance, and then turned around to see Hugo smiling and saying a few words to Sandra, and walked straight in the direction of the two of them. In a panic, Joseph handed Samora the clothing catalog in his hand, "Let Hugo see these first, I, I'll go to the bathroom." After that, Joseph wanted to get up and leave.

But Hugo's voice rang from behind, "Joe, I have something to call you."

Joseph's footsteps just stopped in place. He could escape completely at this time and hide in the bathroom for 20 minutes. After he came out, Hugo was about to start shooting, but Joseph knew that even if he could hide for a while, he would not be able to. Can't hide forever. So, Joseph just stood there.

Samora looked at Joseph's stiff expression, and then looked at Hugo, whose smile had gradually subsided. He sorted out the stack of clothing catalogs in his hand, and bent over to pick up the few scattered on the ground. He got up and said to the oncoming Hugo, "I will discuss with the stylist of the crew first to see if I can do the first round of screening."

In fact, this excuse is not clever at all. The "Life and Death" crew didn't have a stylist at all, because they didn't need it. But even so, Samora walked in the direction of Sandra calmly. Excuses aren't the most important thing, what's important is that Samora knows that Hugo and Joseph have something to say.

Hugo and Samora crossed, then walked to Joseph's side, sat down, and said with a smile, "Are you going to keep your back to me?"

Joseph touched his neck in annoyance, and just turned around, he hiccupped, revealing his inner nervousness at the moment, and sure enough, he saw the clear smile on Hugo's face. Joseph could only sit on the chair with a face of resignation.

"I heard Superman say, you shouldn't be on the set, you have other jobs, don't you?" Hugo didn't cut corners, he said straight to the point.

Although Joseph was already mentally prepared, he was still stunned by Hugo's words, and sighed helplessly, "I told you, this is an office here, and it is also an office in Constellation Avenue, both are the same. ."

"You know that's not what I said." Hugo twitched the corners of his mouth helplessly, but Joseph turned his eyes away, not daring to face Hugo's sincere eyes.

Hugo paused, trying to organize his language. When he heard about the current situation of Nicholas, Matt, Ben and others from Carl, Hugo was quite surprised. He thought that Joseph's work had always been excellent. After all, in the past two years, when Joseph was in charge of his work He has always been conscientious, even if there are few brilliant moments, but every time he can complete the task well, so Hugo can't imagine such a situation at all.

But it’s normal to think about it carefully. The biggest reason why Hugo didn’t replace Joseph was because they were friends, and secondly because Hugo had experienced the case of Ron Mayer, and he was also very cautious about the selection of agents. For now, Joseph seems to be very much in line with his expectations.

But this is not the case for others. People go high and water flows low. In the Hollywood circle where interests are paramount, the lure of a top agent. Confusion is no less than the level of top directors and top producers.

It's just that Hugo didn't expect Joseph's situation to be so difficult, but Joseph said anything and still stayed in the "Life and Death" crew every day, which made Hugo a little uneasy and regretful.

"Joe, you are an agent." Hugo said, this stupid vernacular made Joseph look up at Hugo, Hugo couldn't help showing a smile, "You know what I mean, you are An agent. You know, an agent can't be around an actor all day, he's got a lot to deal with. You look at Karl, although Charlize and Alex are both Karl's friends , but Carl has to be in the office all day running the business instead of following Alex on set to take care of him. That's the difference between an agent and a manager."

"I know, Joe, you're still apologizing for the past." Before Hugo could finish speaking, Joseph spoke up, but Hugo interrupted Joseph with a shake of his head, and continued, "Every time you Every time you look at me, every time you deal with my work, every time you stay on set, you can feel it, you are expressing your apologies."

Joseph had no way to refute Hugo's words, he could only be silent, and then avoided his eyes in embarrassment.

"Joe, I know your apologies, I know your regrets, but... you didn't ruin my career, you didn't ruin my future, and you didn't ruin my life. We just... just quarreled. That's it, you know, like all friends, quarrel. We'll argue, we'll hate and hate each other, but we'll forgive each other and understand each other, haven't we communicated about that?" Guo honestly said that Hugo saw Joseph's persistence and hard work during this time, and he also sincerely accepted Joseph's apology. This is all true, but obviously, Joseph seems to have not completely let go.

"So, you don't have to feel guilty, you don't have to make amends, and you don't have to be sorry all the time. We're friends, we've always been, you know, what's the definition of a friend? Learn to tolerate each other and forgive each other, and that's how friendship can last. core, isn't it?"

Joseph raised his head and looked at Hugo's sincere eyes, and let out a long breath, "Friend." Then he twitched the corners of his mouth, "Yes, we are friends, yes, friends."
