Chapter 86 086 Thunder's Wrath
Joseph is really angry. These small actions within the crew are actually common in Hollywood. This is also a kind of unspoken rule. Second-tier and third-tier actors are not willing to offend the staff. , as long as a little mistake can make the actor suffer enough. If you want to avoid this situation, you must either be on the front line, or find a backer, or rely on your own strength to win recognition.
That's what Hugo did. He worked diligently and diligently on the crew to do his job well, but now he has been treated like this by Alleje! This is unforgivable. Today Alleje just changed the water in the shower, so tomorrow will the collapsed scaffolding be pushed onto Hugo? Hugo is in a bad situation now, but it doesn't mean that anyone can be bullied!
When faced with Joseph's thunderous anger, Allejie only felt that his whole body was shaking. After the pressure reached the extreme, he could only wave his fists and tried to use head-on combat to ask Joseph to create a sense of oppression. , but Joseph had already expected this, and grabbed Alger's wrist with his right hand, then squeezed it tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "Apart from these dirty little actions, what else are you worth? means?"
The "dirty" in Joseph's words was so harsh. Just now, Allejie was still saying that Hugo was "dirty", but now it seems that he should be the one who really made a fool of himself.
Alger wanted to say something, but Joseph threw Alger's hand down, and then walked half a step forward, forcing Alger to take a step back, and another step, Ah Leger's center of gravity was unstable and he stumbled back several steps, finally avoiding the nightmare of falling.
Joseph's eyes were fixed on Alger in front of him, and then he raised his voice and said, "Rob, I need a result." This is the first time since Joseph took over Hugo's position as an agent so seriously Fight for the benefit of Hugo.
Recalling the changes of Hugo in the past three months, recalling the indifference towards Hugo by the media and insiders, and recalling what happened to Hugo during the filming of "The Hero of the Righteous Sea", Joseph sincerely grieved for Hugo. Something he had to give Hugo an explanation.
Rob was taken aback by Joseph's icy voice. In fact, Joseph and Hugo's attitudes have always been neither humble nor arrogant, humble and polite. Rob thought it was because Hugo had corrected himself after the Golden Raspberry Award. Only now did Rob know that it was not that Hugo was unwilling to show off, but that he believed that strength was far more effective than bluffing. Looking at Hugo's performance in the crew, Rob knew that he did owe Hugo an explanation.
Although there are objective reasons for the rejection and indifference of the crew to Hugo, although there are objective reasons and reasons for Alleje's provocation, Rob still does it as he knows it, and he has his own abacus: he replaced Tom with Hugo, still There was a lot of pressure, both from Columbia Pictures and from the aftermath of the movie. But it now appears that Rob's laissez-faire has caused events to spiral out of control.
Maybe it seems that Allejee's actions are not a big mistake. It's just that Hugo has a low-grade fever because of the water temperature. But the mistakes of condoning before must be made up, and Allejee's mentality has been unbalanced, and it is inevitable that problems will arise in the future, so now since Joseph asked for an explanation, Rob also followed the trend and gave his decision.
"Alger, your work on the crew is over at this moment, and you can leave." This is Rob's decision, sacrificing one Alger to ensure the harmony of the crew, this is the best deal.
Allejie never expected such an outcome. Joseph's words just now came true. He originally thought that even if he was found out, he could get away with it, because it was really not a big deal, it just made Hugo suffer a little. Suffering, but now he has lost his job. And what is even more frightening is that Rob is not a fledgling director in the circle, which also means that Allejee may not be able to find a job in the future, but the difficulty of finding a job will increase exponentially.
"No, no, this is different from what that person said, he said it would be fine..." Alleger looked at Rob in disbelief, "Rob, you can't fire me, I did nothing wrong. I just want to teach Hugo a lesson."
Joseph was in a state of extreme anger, and even hearing Rob's decision did not ease his emotions, but since Rob had already fired Alger, there was no need for him to continue entanglement, so he Getting ready to go back and look after Hugo. But he keenly heard Alleje's nonsense just now: That person? he? What does this mean? Could it be that there are other people behind Alger's orders?
Joseph's eyes looked sharply at Rob, but he quickly denied this view, because Hugo was able to enter the crew, it can be said that Rob helped him. If he didn't like Hugo, he would not have hired Hugo. . So who would it be, and who wouldn't want to see Hugo on set? Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Martin Baum, or Tracy Jacobs?
"You didn't do your job well, you are an unqualified drama manager, of course I have the right to fire you!" Rob interrupted Allejee's defense, what he said was the truth, even if Allejee sued The union is also managed by Rob, so he doesn't need to worry at all, "You have fully stated your thoughts, so I don't think you need to stay here now, you can leave our studio!"
Rob is always smiling all the time. He is an amiable old man, but he is not indecisive in important matters, showing the absolute control necessary for a producer and a director.
Under Rob's command, two men walked up to prepare to take Alger away from the set, but Joseph stepped up and approached Alger again, "Say, who instructed you? ?"
At this time, Alger was completely mentally broken. He laughed lowly, and then his voice became louder and louder, as if he was a lunatic, "Why should I tell you?" This seems to confirm what Joseph just said. Thought, someone instructed Alger, but then Alger said loudly, "No one, no one, it's all done by me, I just can't get used to Hugo's lack of strength and unwillingness to work hard. The little white face, I want to see what the movie will look like after it is released, and then I will laugh wildly at your failure!"
The two men didn't give Alger any more chances to go crazy, they dragged Alger and left the set.
Joseph stood on the spot, and his brows could not help frowning. Is there someone behind Alger or no one? Joseph found that Hugo seemed to have a lot of enemies in the circle now, and he felt that the situation was not very good, but they didn't have enough ability to fight back now, so he had nothing to do.
Accompanied by Rob, Joseph went to visit Hugo again. Hugo was only in a low-grade fever, and there was no major problem. After Rob apologized to Joseph again, he temporarily interrupted today's shooting.
Hugo slept groggyly for more than an hour and then woke up. After a good night's sleep, he was sweating a lot better, and the whole person was also awake a lot. After Joseph saw that Hugo woke up, he briefly explained the whole situation, and then talked about the handling of Alger, as well as his suspicions about someone behind Alger.
Hugo listened carefully, but he didn't have much mood swings, but instead laughed. I used to read some unspoken rules in the circle when I was running around. Hugo also thought that watching the fire from the other side was actually quite interesting, but he didn't expect these things to happen to him now, which made Hugo realize: he is now in this circle A link in the so-called unspoken rules will not only not decrease in the future, but will continue to increase, this is just the tip of the iceberg.
"What, what are your thoughts?" Joseph thought that Hugo had guessed the clues of the mastermind behind the scenes.
But Hugo shook his head, "How can I know so much." If even Joseph couldn't think of it, he would naturally have no thoughts, "But don't worry, I won't be defeated by such a small thing, after all, this is just a It was a tiny 'accident', wasn't it?" Hugo blinked slyly as he spoke, making Joseph wonder if he should laugh or cry.
"The next step is to shoot the opposite scene with Jack. This is the real test." Hugo knew that this was not only the best chance to prove himself, but also the perfect opportunity to integrate his latest understanding of acting skills. So he has been looking forward to this scene all the time, as long as he thinks that he can play against Jack, his blood can't help boiling.
Joseph was a little worried, "But your current state can't be said to be good. Do you want to put this scene back for a few days and wait until your fever subsides." The opposite actor is Jack Nicholson, and there may be a little mistake. Caused the whole scene to fall short.
This time Hugo and Jack's rivalry scene is much more difficult than the previous "Smell Scent and Know a Woman", because in "Smell the Scent and Know a Woman", Al's character itself overwhelms Hugo in momentum, and the rival scene is Hugo's stand To resist in the position of an oppressed weak, so the lack of his own ability is well covered up by the role. But this time the roles of Hugo and Jack are tit-for-tat, which will expose all of Hugo's weaknesses and be regarded as the ultimate test.
Hugo shook his head. Although his face was still a little morbidly ruddy, his smile was full of firmness and confidence. "Jack won't agree, he's in a hurry." Hugo looked at Joseph, those amber eyes Exuding a dazzling light, "Don't worry, this is my moment too!"
It was also the moment when the entire crew was truly impressed and taken aback.
