The end of the year is approaching, and for every corner of the world, it is a time to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and even the air is filled with joy. At the same time, the various celebrations also make the end of the year the busiest time for artists, but this busyness is for singers, and countless invitations to performances, galas, pies, and concerts keep singers busy flying around the world. For the actors, although there are invitations to activities such as radio and programs, they are more often as spectators to enjoy the noise on the stage, and the party carnival has become an occasion for the actors to relax.

After the recording of "Oprah Talk Show" ended, Hugo brought invitations to seven programs in the last three days of 1992, and finally Hugo and Joseph starred in four of them, and the focus of discussion was similar, all revolving around Golden Globe nominations, upcoming Oscar prospects and music creation talent, but because Hugo's "singer" side can only be regarded as a guest appearance, the excitement at the end of the year has nothing to do with Hugo. I just don't know what kind of scene it will be after the "Oprah talk show" is broadcast.

After finishing the program, Hugo could finally relax and wait for the moment when 1992 would enter 1993.

On December 31, the last day of the year, at 10 a.m., Hugo followed Joseph to the International Innovation Management Company.

Every year, the year-end international innovation management company will hold a special luncheon, bringing together all its brokers, the company's partners will attend this luncheon, to reward and condolences to the brokers, and then award bonuses, hold some simple 'lottery' activities, the main is to enliven the company's atmosphere, reward the achievements of the past year, and promote everyone to continue to cheer in the new year.

At this luncheon, the agents will more or less bring a few artists to attend, on the one hand, to increase the weight of the company and show their strength to competitors who want to inquire about the company; On the one hand, it is also a competition between agents, whose artist has the best performance in the past year is bound to be recognized by the partner, which is of great help to the future development of the agent.

Therefore, generally speaking, when the agent attends, he will send an invitation to his most proud artist, hoping that they can raise face for themselves, but people like Joseph and Carl are not so lucky. Joseph and Carl attended alone last year, and although Hugo and Joseph came to the luncheon together, they always followed Lang Yimayer like a tail, which made Joseph very angry.

This year, Carl is still coming alone, and Charlize can only be regarded as a newcomer to the industry at the moment, and there is no weight in such an occasion. If this is a faction in the industry, then Carl will ask Charlize to come over to see the world, maybe he can get to know more people; But this is just an internal luncheon, and the people I meet here are either fellow competitors or competitors' helpers, their artists, so it doesn't make much sense.

When Joseph brought Hugo to attend, it caused quite a stir. Although this year's international innovation management companies have achieved remarkable results, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Eddie Murphy (eddie. Mumphy), Julia Roberts, Paul and McCartney (Paul. MCEY) and other artists have achieved very good results. But it must be admitted that this year, Hugo and Lancaster have also occupied a place in the star-studded international innovation management companies, especially the work "Yihai Xiongfeng", which is still hanging on the top spot of the North American weekend box office charts, has quickly become a hit at the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars.

Therefore, after Hugo appeared, many top agents took the initiative to come forward to say hello, no matter what the purpose is, at least 'mix' a familiar face and say a word of congratulations, which is still very suitable for today's festive atmosphere. Not only the agent, Hugo also chatted with Julia for a while, had a very pleasant conversation with the popular spicy 'chicken', and then drank half a glass of whiskey with Arnold and Mel, but unfortunately Hugo couldn't 'smoke' and couldn't join the men's smoking camp.

After seeing so many big stars this year, Hugo finally didn't continue to make a fuss, and although he was still quite surprised to see Arnold's almost terrifying muscles, he still kept his composure overall, which is a big improvement.

However, when he saw Paul and McCartney, Hugo still seemed a little impatient. Why? Do you need to ask why, because it was Paul McCartney, because it was the Beatles, because it was a musical legend, although Hugo did not experience the craziest and hottest era of the Beatles, but it did not affect him in the slightest to feel the positive effects of Beatles music.

Among the four members of the Beatles, there has been a debate about who is the true soul of the band, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, but there is no doubt that both of them were great songwriters who worked together to propelle the Beatles into the greatest rock band of all time.

For the fact that you can see a figure like Paul, who is a living fossil for Hugo, you can imagine that Hugo's heart was 'stirred'. But alas, before Hugo could get close to Paul, he saw Paul being taken by the company's co-president, Marvin Josephson. Josephson) led to the other side, and his footsteps were stopped by an uninvited guest.

Hugo tried to get out of the way, but found that the other party was also following, so Hugo had to take his eyes back from Paul and shift his gaze to the obstacle in front of him, "Hey, Hugo, long time no see." "The person who came was actually Lang Yimeyer, although there was some surprise, but it was not surprising that Lang was originally one of the partners of the company, and he was also the protagonist of today's luncheon.

"Not that long, is it?" Hugo knew that the other party must have come prepared, so he simply stopped and looked at Lang. As for Paul, maybe there will be a chance later. Hugo's answer is actually meaningful, he is hinting that he has seen the other party at the premiere of "The Heroes of the Righteous Sea" before, but he deliberately does not directly pick it out, it depends on how Lang responds.

In fact, after the premiere, Hugo wanted to step forward and ask Lang Yimayer why he couldn't get along with him, but first, there was no evidence, and second, there was no meaning, even if Lang admitted that he was just Alepje, so what, Hugo wanted to go up and beat Lang, simply and neatly.

But after discussing with Joseph, I thought that Lang appeared at the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng" in order to find Sidney a 'wave' Lac, which means that Lang still has a backhand, and on the other hand, Lang and Tracy are planning something behind the scenes, whether it is against Hugo or not, but now the other party is in the dark and himself is in the light, so after thinking twice, Hugo still decided to stay put.

Lang squinted his eyes and glanced at Hugo deeply, as if he was thinking about the deep meaning of Hugo's words, but then his words surprised Hugo, "You mean the premiere of 'Yihai Xiongfeng', I didn't come forward to greet you that day, I'm really sorry, mainly because I had to leave first because I was in a hurry......"

Hugo didn't expect Lang to be directly singled out, which also confirmed Hugo's idea, Lang has a backhand, so he can't be in a hurry, but in front of Lang, the old fox, although Hugo has been rolling in society for ten years, he is still a little immature, he directly 'revealed' part of his hole cards, "It's okay, I just accidentally mentioned it when I was chatting with Sidney, after all, it's still important to work."

And Hugo didn't realize that he had leaked the information about the "sugar-coated trap" with Sidney, or Lang's knowing smile made Hugo sober up, "I heard about your cooperation with Sidney, and I believe that you will give a very 'fine' performance, you are on par with Nicholson in 'Yihai Xiongfeng', and there is absolutely no problem." ”

In fact, Hugo usually doesn't neglect so easily, but in the face of an old fox like Lang, and Lang is deliberately calculating Hugo, Hugo, who is only twenty-five years old, still 'exposed' the shortcomings of his lack of experience. However, Hugo's ability to understand so quickly is also due to the experience of rolling and precipitating in society for many years, "Before the movie is released, you can't say anything for sure, isn't it?"

This time Hugo learned to be smart and didn't reveal any of the audition process about the "sugar-coated trap". Although it is said that these news are intentionally inquired about, it is not too difficult unless the producer keeps it secret; But Hugo knew that it was one thing for Lang to inquire about it, and it was another thing for him to take the initiative to leak 'exposure' to Lang. Hugo still didn't know what Lang was up to, so he couldn't let his guard down.

Hugo's eyes subconsciously looked for Joseph in the crowd, Joseph and Carl had gone to get fruit together just now, and they had not come back until now, and they were not seen near the buffet table.

"I've heard that Brad and Pitt's agent Martin have been very active recently, and Robert also thinks that Brad is very suitable for the role of 'sugar-coated trap', so I don't know how Sidney will choose." Lang looked like he knew it in his chest, but he lowered his voice, as if he had revealed a big secret to Hugo.

Such a look made Hugo feel very uncomfortable, as if Lang was in control, but Hugo was in this game, and could only see the corner of the chessboard, and could not confront Lang at all. Hugo realized that although he and Joseph rose quickly, they were still too shallow in the end, and they were always at a disadvantage in this network-oriented circle.

It's like the invitation to this "sugar-coated trap", if it weren't for Rick and Lawson taking the initiative to remind them, it is estimated that they would be a few positions behind Brad. Robert Redford and Sidney Wave have been very friendly since they "went out of Africa", and Brad's agent Martin Baum is strong, which really makes Brad occupy a favorable position.

When Lang said this, he seemed to be hinting at Hugo: Sidney hasn't been auditioning for you recently, and that's why!

After Hugo understood Lang's hint, he was not happy or nervous, but became vigilant, or even more vigilant: nothing to do, either 'adultery' or theft. The relationship between him and Lang Yimayer has always been tense, don't forget, Aleje's matter was instigated by Lang behind his back, so why is Lang taking the initiative to show favor now? What about Joseph? Damn Joseph!
