Hugo never thought of asking for credit, not because his clues came from an ulterior source, but because he never had a utilitarian idea to help Michael. Anyone with a heart of justice can't bear to see this unjust case always accompanied by the party in the coffin, not to mention that this party is Michael Jackson, the unique Michael Jackson.

Therefore, after the truth was revealed, Hugo never gave any interviews, and even if Nicholas of the Los Angeles Times called, Hugo refused to be interviewed, leaving all the clues to stop at suspicion, and then completely dissipate in the process of spreading.

It's just that Hugo didn't expect that Michael actually knew the truth.

"Me? Why don't I know? Hugo could only pretend to be stupid, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with doubt, "Could it be that I also have a share of the credit?" It's a great honor. Shouldn't I be glad that my foresight was so accurate? With that, Hugo burst out laughing.

Michael couldn't find a flaw in Hugo's expression, he forgot what a great actor Hugo was.

But for Michael, what he needs is not to pursue answers, as if Dawes Carter never asked Hugo how he learned about Chandler and Amittal, who were both smart people; The important thing is that he knows that Hugo is behind it, and that's enough.

Perhaps, this hidden truth will never be made public, but for the real insider, Michael Jackson. Beautiful. Behind the children's case, people feel the strength of Hugo. This is also the fact that insiders once again really feel Hugo's huge appeal as a superstar.

At this time, there was a knock at the door, apparently the waiter came to serve the food, Michael chuckled, and took this opportunity to change the topic, and did not continue to delve in, "Please come in!" ”

The door of the room was opened, and two waiters walked in with their heads down, and walked over with plates without squinting, one was in charge of serving the food, and the other was in charge of serving, "Mr. Jackson, this is the tomato cold soup you ordered; Mr. Lancaster, here's your Nice salad. "Stand at the table at a staggered step and place the appetizer in front of the two of you," said the two of you. Then he withdrew without squinting.

From beginning to end, neither waiter looked at Hugo and Michael squarely, but they maintained etiquette and did not feel offended in the slightest. It's really admirable to be so well trained. In Hollywood, a Vanity Fair, smart people are always everywhere.

Michael and Hugo both picked up their knives and forks and began to enjoy their appetizers, and then Michael said, "I actually came back to Los Angeles some time early, and I had to come to the United States to deal with other things." Michael glanced at Hugo, didn't pause, and said directly, "I'm going to change the agency." ”

Hugo was not surprised, he remembered that at this point in history, behind the many slackness of Sony Columbia Records, there may not be a reason why the agency is not strong enough. Michael is currently affiliated with Innovative Artist Agency, a Hollywood agency that includes almost all of the top superstars, such as Steven Spielberg, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, and others, all of whom are currently under the umbrella of Innovative Artists.

"William Morris?" Hugo enjoyed the salad in front of him, looked at Michael, and then said, he didn't know why Michael suddenly brought it up, and thought it was just a small talk between friends.

Michael was somewhat surprised by Hugo's reaction, "Why do you think it's William Morris?" ”

"The internal combing of the international innovation management company is still not completed," Marvin Josephson is a good businessman, but not a good broker, which was proved at the beginning of the company's establishment, and it will be the same again, the lack of Rick Rosen, Ali Emmanuel and many other senior brokers, not only the lack of management talents, but also the loss of resources behind the network of senior brokers - don't forget jì, Rick left thanks to Hugo's reminder, succeeded in bringing out all his information, "and I didn't like the atmosphere there; So in this way, William Morris is naturally the first choice, although they still have some internal struggles within the company, I heard that they only managed to dig into the corner of the innovative artist agency not long ago, so it seems that the strength should be good. ”

1994 and 1995 were turbulent times for brokerage firms, and the International Innovation Management Company naturally went without saying anything about midnight politics. Change has cost them nearly a third of their resources; The innovative artist agency was hit hard, with their founder, Michael Ovitz, leaving the company for Disney, and after the company fell into chaos, key clients were poached and Jay Marone, a partner who was hastily promoted to management. maroney) even began to suck because he couldn't bear the huge pressure. poison, in March, he was expelled from the East Window incident, and then committed suicide.

Even the William Morris agency has had a power upheaval, and while not as fierce as the other two rivals, it has also distracted them quite a bit. However, they still took advantage of the fire and snatched several heavyweight stars such as Whoopi Goldberg and Sylvester Stallone from the innovative artist agency.

This is also an important reason why Endeavor elite brokerage companies have been able to rise rapidly in the past year, not only because Hugo, Tom Hanks and other actors are booming, but also because competitors are too busy to take care of themselves and have no time to concentrate on suppression. It can be seen in the process of the "Mission Impossible" project and the "Seven Deadly Sins" project that Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company is still small and large, but it still preliminarily shows the layout ability of Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company.

When competitors have come to their senses, Endeavor Elite Brokerage has the power to fight. Therefore, one year is really earth-shaking.

If Michael wants to change his agency, relatively speaking, William Morris, the old king of the company, is definitely the right choice.

After Hugo finished speaking, he saw Michael's expression quite playful, which made Hugo stop the action of putting the tomato in his mouth, frowning and thinking, "You won't sue me, you want to go to the United Elite Agency, right?" ”

As mentioned earlier, United Elite Brokerage Company was formed in 1991 by the merger of two medium-sized brokerage companies with strong strength and deep-rootedness, and after just four years of development, it has become a leader in the second tier brokerage companies, just looking up to the three major brokerage companies.

United Elite Agency has a good strength in the fields of music, TV series, and movies, and currently Harrison Ford, Sting, Laura Dern. dern) and other stars are under their umbrella, and they also own "Seinfeld," a classic comedy that consistently ranks in the top five in the U.S. ratings.

United elite brokerage company can be said to be the biggest competitor of the current Endeavor elite brokerage company, because the three major brokerage companies are giants, so the market of other small and medium-sized brokerage companies to survive is very limited, do not look at the joint elite brokerage company as if its big names are not as much as Endeavor elite brokerage companies, but their heritage and lineup are far better than Endeavor elite brokerage companies.

Every brokerage company wants to catch up with the big three brokerage companies, but only if it can fight its way through the small and medium-sized brokerage company market. At present, Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company relies on a strong star effect and is rapidly approaching the United Elite Brokerage Company in just one year.

Objectively speaking, United Elite Brokerage is indeed strong - otherwise it would not have become one of the top brokerage companies in the next few years, but for the current Michael, the temple is still a little smaller. Of course, Miao Xiao also has the benefits of Miao Xiao, at least the resources will be tilted towards Michael - just like the current Endeavor Elite Agency, almost two-thirds of the resources are serving Hugo, Tom, Clint, and Al, a group of top artists.

Michael smiled and asked, "Why not?" ”

Hugo also laughed, "If you want, no, no." In fact, for an artist of Michael's level, the agent is not the decisive link at all, because their own appeal is enough. However, Michael has just ushered in the truth and is preparing to release a new album, and the operation of the agent and the cooperation of the record company are still very important.

Michael put down the spoon in his hand, "I'm curious, why didn't you mention Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company all the time?" ”

Hugo looked at Michael puzzled, but then reacted, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then shook his head with a smile. To be honest, Hugo really didn't consider Endeavour Elite Agency just now, Michael is different from the previous Joanna Rowling and Leonardo DiCaprio, one of them is a nobody, the other is a potential star, and joining Endeavor Elite Agency focuses on the future; And Michael is a top superstar, and Hugo didn't even think about pulling this great god into their small temple.

"Maybe that means I'm not fit to be a businessman." Hugo said self-deprecatingly, then carefully looked at Michael's expression, pondering, "Michael, you...... Do you want to come to our company? ”

Michael didn't answer, smiled and lowered his head to enjoy his tomato soup, and hung Hugo in the air, not up or down, feeling really uncomfortable. Hugo's eyes scanned back and forth between his salad and Michael's bowl of red cold soup, but he didn't know what to say: persuade Michael to come to Endeavor Elite Agency? Or should the Grand Duke selflessly build yì Michael to William Morris Agency?

"Hugo, you know, true friends can tell the truth." Michael didn't look up and whispered, "You're not going to introduce me to your company?" ”

"Uh...... Endeavour Elite Brokerage is a ...... A promising potential stock brokerage with a wonderful future? Hugo was unprepared, frowned, and said hesitantly, just as Hugo was thinking about how to tell him more about his company, Michael looked up.

I saw Michael tapped his chin slightly, as if he was thinking seriously, and then said in a long voice, "Your company sounds really good, which makes me yearn for it." ”

Is this all right?
