413 share weal and woe. Hugo did not immediately wait for Joseph's reply, in fact, Joseph was not heard from all afternoon, and Hugo did not know whether Joseph was thinking of a credible excuse or trying to make amends, which Hugo hoped would be the latter.

At the beginning of the afternoon performance, Hugo seemed a little absent-minded, but Neil had to interrupt the performance and remind Hugo, who reacted and apologized to his teammates again and again. There is no way to fully engage in the performance, which is fatal for the band, and at the same time unprofessional.

After dinner in the evening, Hugo's mobile phone rang again after an afternoon of silence, and when he picked it up, it was Joseph, "Hugo, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I tried, but ......" Joseph's voice was full of guilt.

But Hugo breathed a sigh of relief, at least it showed that Joseph was still trying, rather than blindly making excuses. But Joseph's words came right after, causing Hugo to be stunned for a moment, "But...... If you really want this script, you should take the initiative to sue me, and then care more about the project, so that things may still have room to turn around, and even if something goes wrong, it can be remedied in time. ”

Hugo got angry, "So you're saying that the responsibility for missing out on this project is on me." ”

"Hugo, remember? It was you who sued me at the beginning, but now you have not stepped out of the 'shadow' of the horn and 'color' of 'Meng'; it is you who sue me that you plan to put your 'essence' on the band for the time being...... Isn't that the case? Isn't it because you're not going to take the script in a short time......" Joseph's words were also a little hurried, and he sounded in a bad mood.

Hugo directly interrupted Joseph, "This is the situation you remember?" So you don't remember that I asked you to reach out to Frank, you don't remember that I read the script carefully and even made additions, you don't remember that I asked you again to be able to contact Frank...... I thought we had agreed on this issue the last time we called, but now it seems that the matter is still my fault? So, what exactly do you do as an agent? ”

Hugo's words stung Joseph and silenced him, and although Joseph wanted to refute, he couldn't do anything about it. So the phone went silent.

The Glory to Death teammates, who were still sitting at the table, were all frightened by Hugo's sudden bad state, Neil gestured slightly, and then took the lead to leave the table, and the other three people also followed behind, leaving Hugo alone in the red 'color' card seat.

"So, you don't remember how many times Frank called you, and you didn't call back; You also don't remember faxing me Frank's revised script; You don't remember that in addition to Nicolas Cage, I also had a script to talk about recently...... "Hugo actually didn't want to say this, because there is no value in holding accountable for these things."

It's a pity to miss "The Shawshank Redemption", but it's not a big deal, Hugo can not care, he didn't have "meat" pain when he thought he missed "Schindler's List". But the problem is that Joseph's attitude has always been the same. Hugo originally thought that Joseph was trustworthy, they were partners and friends at the same time, and there was at least a tacit understanding between them: no matter how busy Joseph was, he would never forget Hugo's work; Even with this mistake, Joseph would not make excuses, and Hugo did not have to blame Joseph.

Just as Hugo rejected Lang without hesitation, Hugo always regarded Joseph as his agent. But now it seems that Hugo is just wishful thinking. This reminded Hugo of Uma Thurman.

When Hugo finished talking about this large pile of things, he actually had no pleasure at all, not a hearty vent of anger, but an indescribable grievance and dullness. After experiencing the Golden Globe incident, Hugo thought that he and Joseph had grown up, but he didn't expect that the aura brought by "Sleepless in Seattle" still made Joseph "too busy to touch the ground".

"So what do you mean now? Are you condemning me? Or are you planning to tear up your contract again and re-sign with Ron? Joseph frowned, he had been in a bad mood when he had learned that Ron Meyer was in Philadelphia in the afternoon, and now Hugo's reaction had made him suspicious again.

"Joseph Gibbs!" Hugo is out of the ground angry! "I sue you, if I want to sign a contract with Lang, I don't have to notify you at all, I don't have to entangle these things with you, and I don't even have to pay liquidated damages, do you know why? Because I've never lacked that million! ”

When Joseph borrowed the million dollars from Hugo, Hugo knew very well that although a million is a lot of money, it is not worth mentioning for a trust and a friendship. He had thought that he and Joseph were friends, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Are you urging me to pay back?" Unfortunately, Joseph was in a state of anger at this time, and he didn't realize Hugo's deep meaning at all, and thought that Hugo was urging him to pay back the money. The box office dividends of "Sleepless in Seattle" have not yet come down, so Joseph's share has naturally not yet arrived, and he has not repaid the money for the time being. "So, what exactly are you going to do? If you didn't want to sign a contract with Lang, why did you repeatedly make things difficult for me in this matter, don't you know that I've been so busy lately that I don't even have time to eat? ”

"Yes, there's no time to eat, but there's time to drink champagne." Hugo laughed angrily, just this fluttering sentence made Joseph completely calm down, "Joseph, you have time to be busy with those high-level social 'friends', you have time to be busy with Nicolas Cage's new script, you have time to be busy with two new actors, but you don't have time to help me deal with a script contact?" What do I want to do? I want you to have the right attitude and attitude towards work! ”

"The script is never the most important thing, this is true of 'Sugar-Coated Trap', this is true of 'The Outlaw', the same is true of 'Schindler's List' at the beginning, and now 'The Shawshank Redemption' is no exception. But what's important is whether you pay attention to this matter, since Frank reached out to you in late July, how much time you 'spend' on this project, and how much 'energy' are you willing to 'spend' to contact Frank? See what excuses you've come up with to prevaricate me, and then ask me what I'm going to do! ”

Hugo's words were very calm, calm with a hint of mockery, in fact, in terms of eloquence, Joseph has never been Hugo's opponent, Joseph is not a powerful agent, his ability lies in careful thinking, outstanding organization and accurate positioning. So in the face of Hugo's words, Joseph was completely choked and couldn't say a word. In the end, I could only hold back one sentence, "But this is my job, I am an agent, I am not your manager alone, I am an agent who needs to develop my own career, if it weren't for Anna's help, I wouldn't even have time to go home and sleep now, what else could I do?" I'm not you, you can go on a road trip all over the United States, but I can't! ”

After Joseph finished speaking, he waited quietly, waiting for Hugo to give a little response, but there was no sound on the other end of the phone, as if Hugo's mobile phone had a problem again, and time went by like an hourglass for a long time, as if it were a century, and then there was a "beep" sound, and Hugo hung up the phone.

Joseph looked at the earpiece with a busy sound in his hand, and froze in place. The words that Hugo just said kept echoing in my mind: "I want you to have a correct attitude and attitude towards work!" Joseph rubbed his cheek vigorously, and then thought back to the whole story, how did it get to this point? It's just missing a script, why did it end up like this?

In the past year or so, the two have become very good friends, Joseph is happy because of Hugo's success, and Hugo has been congratulating Joseph on finally making a breakthrough in his career, but this time the situation seems to be really bad. Hugo's words kept stirring in Joseph's mind, turning all his thoughts into a mush.

After Hugo hung up the phone, he looked at the courtyard standing outside and was shrouded in night, trying to calm his turbulent mind. Looking at the band mates who were chatting in the courtyard, Pedro kept looking in the direction of the restaurant worriedly, obviously worried about his situation, and the other three people also cast their eyes on the back of the eye, consciously or unconsciously, among which Alfonso was the most anxious, and Hugo only then remembered that Alfonso and Joseph were small.

Is it like this in society, interests will erode family, friendship and love little by little, and then let the original innocent and clean friendship begin to gradually change its taste. Hugo has always remembered the sincere friendship of his former friends who were honored to die in China, and even closer than his relatives, but now Hugo can't help but sigh a little: after they appeared on the 'Midi' music festival and won the attention and success, will this friendship also change?

This possible 'sex' made Hugo very flustered, first Uma and now Joseph. In fact, what Hugo was worried about was not the "Shawshank Redemption", nor Joseph's work attitude, but the current situation.

After "Sleepless in Seattle", the situation they faced was even more prosperous than after the original "Yihai Heroes", looking at Joseph's achievements now, he has begun to change, even the lessons of the previous Golden Globe incident did not make Joseph vigilant, if it was before, Joseph would not shirk responsibility at will, but this time, Joseph obviously did not realize the core of the problem, and he has been making excuses.

But the question is that Hugo's current achievements are still nothing compared to those top stars, and if they can achieve greater success in the future, does it mean that they will one day part ways due to a dispute of interests. A million can't buy trust, but what about ten million? What about 100 million?
