Chapter 726 726 Company Chess Game

After a day of filming, Hugo was lounging on the sofa and playing a vinyl record, "Meet. On. The. Ledge", a song from the British Sixties The most famous folk rock band Fairport Agreement (Fairport.Convention) released a famous single in 1969, which can be regarded as an epoch-making single in the history of folk rock.

After experiencing fatigue, enjoying this short-term relaxation and comfort is also the time that Hugo looks forward to the most every day. Not only can he relax his mind, but he can also completely relax his body. It is indeed a rare leisure time.

The phone rang, breaking the quiet flowing melody in the hall, but Hugo didn't move, Charlize stuck his head out of the bathroom and gave Hugo a speechless look, "Hey, you don't even answer the phone. !" But Hugo didn't even bother to lift his eyelids, which made Charlize very helpless, so he could only come out while tying his hair, and then answered the phone, "Hello, this is Charlize Theron. "

But there was no voice from the other end of the phone, which made Charlize frown and asked again, "Hello?"

Hugo only opened his eyes at this time and glanced at Charlize, "It's that silent phone again?"

Charlize looked at Hugo and was about to answer, but a voice came from the receiver. She raised her free left hand and shook it, "I can hear it now, where is it?" It seemed that it was just a line obstacle. , and sure enough, Charlize's expression brightened immediately, "Hey, it's you."

Charlize covered the microphone and mouthed to Hugo, "Mr. Perfect." Hugo suddenly realized. "I'm getting ready, what's wrong with you? Oh... God, are you all right?"

Hugo closed his eyes again, but his ears could clearly hear Charlize's conversation. The other end of the phone should be Stewart Townsend. Recently, it can be seen that Charlize and Stewart are progressing smoothly. It seems that Charlize finally obeyed his persuasion and no longer fears "perfect". The relationship between the two has gradually become clear. . It was clearly what Hugo expected at the beginning, but why does he always feel a little empty in his heart now?

Hugo didn't dare to open his eyes, so he could only listen quietly. Charlize's familiar voice shuttled leisurely in the melody, and there was a sense of tranquility, but for some reason, it concealed some bitterness, which made Hugo's voice linger. The tip of the tongue was slightly bitter, and the beating of the heart slowly slowed down.

"Have an accident on a date at night?" Hugo asked casually when Charlize hung up the phone. He opened his eyes again and looked straight at Charlize, but involuntarily lowered his eyes and covered his own eyes. He couldn't articulate the mixed emotions he didn't want to reveal until he figured out for himself what was going on.

Charlize leaned on the wall next to the phone, "Well, there was a little friction between his car and a motorcycle, so it needs to be dealt with, it's not a big problem, it's just a little later than the estimated time, let me know in advance. ."

The corner of Hugo's mouth twitched slightly, and a smile appeared, "Sure enough, Mr. Perfect, everything is so in place."

Hugo's teasing made Charlize chuckle. "That's called a gentleman, a gentleman! If it were you, you would do the same, wouldn't you?"

Looking at the back of Charlize turning around and entering the bathroom, you can vaguely hear Charlize humming a tune, dancing like a butterfly to the trumpet music of the gramophone, Hugo's smile froze, and then it seemed Depressed, it bloomed suddenly, and then slowly dissipated in the corner of the mouth.

Women before dating always have some excitement and throbbing, and even their footsteps will become lighter, as if they are dancing on tiptoe, the small footsteps and the cheerful heartbeat will float in the air. , so that all the surrounding scenery is covered with a thin layer of goose yellow. Even if you close your eyes, you can feel this emotion from hearing, smell, and touch, just like water droplets beating gently on your skin in midsummer July.

"Hugo? Hugo!" Joseph called Hugo several times in a row, but found that Hugo didn't respond at all. Seeing the helpless look on Joseph's face in front of him, "Are you tired? Otherwise, let's talk about it tomorrow?"

Out of the corner of Hugo's line of sight, he saw Charlize put on red high heels and closed the door and left the house. The slamming sound of the door closing brought him back to reality from his thoughts. He took a deep breath and sat up straight. Get up, "No, I've just slept for a while, it's all right."

Only then did Hugo notice that Karl-Earl was also sitting across from him, "Hey, you're down too, what about Fukuin?" Hugo looked back, Samora was busy in the kitchen, and it was estimated that dinner time would soon be coming soon.

"Fokin went to Al's Bar. I heard that Green Hill was planning to organize a charity event recently. Fokin went to see if he could help." Carl explained briefly.

"Oh, Neil and I mentioned this, and our band is also a part." Hugo nodded. There have been many recent activities in Glory to Death. The radio promotion has been going on intermittently, but the band's The public performance time has been drastically reduced due to Hugo's relationship, so this time, Hugo also actively expressed that he would participate in the public welfare activities organized by Green Hill. Join the band and get involved in the show.

"So, what were you talking about just now?" Hugo looked at Joseph again and asked curiously.

Joseph and Carl looked at each other and laughed dumbly. It seems that they said so much just now. Hugo didn't listen at all, so Joseph could only speak again, "I want to ask you about my contract with you. It's over in April, what are your plans for the next agent?"

In fact, no matter what the situation is, this is an issue that must be considered. If Hugo continues to hire Joseph as an agent, then Joseph's attribution is a top priority; as now, Hugo hires Joseph as a manager, then the position of Hugo's agent is vacant, and he must also choose a new contract.

It's just that Hugo's choice is now more relaxed and casual, regardless of Joseph's situation, the entire brokerage circle is completely a vast sky, allowing Hugo to choose.

Hearing Joseph's words, Hugo's first reaction was to look at Carl. When he saw Carl here, Hugo naturally thought that Carl wanted to be his agent. Carl immediately understood what Hugo meant, waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile, "Now that Charlize and Alex are working, I'm already struggling a little bit, if I want to take you, I'm not enough. Ability."

The reason why Hugo is so popular now is because Hugo is in a position where it can't go down. On the one hand, Hugo's future development prospects are promising, and it is obviously a potential stock worth investing in; but on the other hand, Hugo has no Big enough to not need the help of an agent, relying on their own connections and abilities to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Therefore, Hugo needs an agent, and an agent with sufficient ability and sufficient connections.

Carl went on to explain, "I'm here because the situation inside the company is so complicated, and if possible, I want to go forward and back with Joe, so that I can also rely on Joe's connections." Speaking of which, Carl He patted Joseph on the shoulder and laughed, "However, I heard just now that Joe intends to be your manager, so in this case, I'll have to rely on you, no, to be precise, it's Charlize And Alex will depend on you."

Getting the support of a top actor, although not comparable to the energy of the director, producer, and screenwriter, is still not to be underestimated. In particular, Hugo is now involved in a huge network of Jewish people. Even if Hugo has only dug the tip of the iceberg, it is enough to make people look up.

Hearing Carl's teasing, Hugo couldn't help laughing. He nodded, "No problem, I can also enjoy being a big brother." This sentence made both Joseph and Carl burst into laughter.

After laughing, Hugo refocused on Joseph's question just now, "How is the situation in the company now? Has it become clearer?"

In fact, Hugo and Joseph had a brief conversation at the New Year's Luncheon before, but they didn't talk about anything too specific that time. It's been two months now, and the situation will definitely change.

Joseph put away his smile and gradually became serious, "Well, I heard that Eddie Murphy has agreed to sign with Marvin. As for Arnold Schwarzenegger... Rick is still fighting."

The original relaxed atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and Hugo immediately felt this sense of urgency. Eddie Murphy and Arnold Schwarzenegger are currently the biggest entertainers under Rick Rosen. Marvin Josephson has gradually dismantled Ron Meyer's power before, and now he is approaching Rick again. That is to say, as long as Rick is also defeated, it means that Marvin regains control of the company's decision-making power, and the next step is internal cleaning.

Although it is said that actors like Hugo will not be implicated, but will be affected to some extent, but second-tier and third-tier actors under a small agent like Carl will be greatly affected.

In other words, things are imminent.

Hugo frowned and thought for a while, "Didn't you say Julia Roberts had signed with Marvin?" Hugo vaguely remembered this.

This time it was Karl who explained, "Julia had already decided, but now that the Creative Artists Agency is involved, we don't know what will happen..."

This also means that Marvin also realizes that he must cut the mess quickly, otherwise internal conflicts will evolve into external conflicts, so even if he wins the control of the company, it will be difficult to form a relationship with Creative Artists Agency and William Morris Agency. effective confrontation.

"Did the Creative Artists Agency not contact you recently?" Hugo looked at Joseph.

Joseph nodded, "Very often."

As expected.
