Joseph drove to Los Angeles International Airport, showed his pass, and then entered the filming location of the "Life and Death" crew. Although the crew has been filming at the airport for a while recently, they only occupy a small part of the airport, and in order not to affect the normal operation of various flights at the airport, the crew must be active in a fixed area.

Joseph skillfully parked the car in Hugo's special parking space, due to the promotion of Hugo's status now, and he is also the number one person in the "Life and Death" crew, so Hugo's treatment in the crew has also changed, and the special parking space is only one of them. However, Joseph did not get out of the car directly as usual, but sat in the driver's seat in a daze.

Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon, and Ben Affleck also found out about Joseph in the past few days, but so far it is just rumors, Joseph guesses, there should only be a few contacts at present, and the actual distribution of interests has not been discussed, so Nicholas, Matt and Ben should also be under consideration.

However, Joseph knew that the three of them had a more than six chance of being dug up and left. The main reason is that he took over the two works of "Vulgar" and "Speed of Life and Death" for Hugo, in the eyes of outsiders, these two works were provided to Hugo by Joseph, and obviously, no one is optimistic about the development prospects of these two works, that is to say, Joseph has a serious problem with Hugo's career development plan - at the critical moment of Hugo's career take-off, he actually chose such two works, which is definitely a decision-making mistake for the agent.

So, it was only a matter of time before Nicholas left Joseph and joined an innovative artist agency; And Matt and Ben change agents, the probability is also relatively high.

If Joseph wants to salvage the situation, as Karl said, and fight hard, then this period is very important, and Joseph must communicate face-to-face with Nicholas and others, and use his own practical actions and his own incorruptible tongue to persuade them to stay and continue to choose himself as their agent

In fact, with Joseph's current ability, whether it is the scope of contacts or business ability, he has the power to fight, not to mention Matt and Ben, the two newcomers, even Nicholas is completely likely to keep him.

But Joseph didn't do anything at all, not even asking, as if he had never heard of those rumors, and Joseph had been busy with Hugo's affairs and Oscar affairs these days, as if he had no time to think about the fact that his three actors were going to be poached.

Why? Why is this so?

Joseph's mind was a little tired, and the thoughts hidden in his mind were stirred up by Carl's remarks just now, which made Joseph rub his temples and let out a long breath, trying to put a smile back on his face before opening the car door and walking down.

Joseph walked in the direction of the crew and found that filming was going on at this time, but it was not Hugo's scene, but also the scene where the Los Angeles police and the news media collided.

In the distance, Joseph saw Hugo and Sandra who were talking and laughing and talking happily, he didn't go over to disturb the two people, but walked to the other side and sat down, after Samora and the drama manager discussed the precautions for the next scene, they also walked over with the script, "Today's next scene is exciting enough, and the whole crew is mobilized." Samora walked over to Joseph, leaned against the dressing table, and said with a smile.

Joseph took out the catalogue of clothes from his briefcase, "Oh, yes," but heard Samora's voice say, "Superman came to talk about something to discuss with Hugo, do you know what it is?" How could he have something to do with Hugo. "Superman is Carl Ell.

Joseph's movements couldn't help but pause, and he looked at Samora with a look of surprise, "You didn't let Hugo answer the words, did you?" Joseph suddenly had a sense of foreboding.

But Samora didn't know what was going on, "Hugo was resting just now, so I handed him the phone...... What's wrong? Is there something wrong?" Samora also noticed Joseph's stiff face.

"Oh, ......no," Joseph sighed in annoyance, and when he turned around, he saw Hugo smiling and saying a few words to Sandra, and walked straight in the direction of the two of them. Joseph frantically handed the clothing catalog in his hand to Samora, "You let Hugo see these first, I, I'll go to the bathroom." With that, Joseph wanted to get up and leave.

But Hugo's voice sounded behind him, "Joe, I have something to look for you......."

Joseph's footsteps stopped in this way, he could have escaped at this time, hid in the bathroom for twenty minutes, and Hugo was about to shoot after he came out, but Joseph knew that even if he could hide for a while, he couldn't hide for a lifetime. So, Joseph just stood where he was.

Samora looked at Joseph's stiff expression, then looked at Hugo, whose smile on his face was retracting little by little, sorted out the stack of clothing catalogs in his hand, and bent down to pick up the few scattered on the ground by the way, and said to the oncoming Hugo, "I'll discuss with the stylist of the crew first to see if I can do the first round of screening." ”

In fact, this excuse is not clever at all, and the "Speed of Life and Death" crew does not have stylists at all, because they don't need it. But even so, Samora walked calmly in Sandra's direction. The excuse is not the most important thing, the important thing is that Samora knows that Hugo and Joseph have something to say.

Hugo and Samora staggered, then walked up to Joseph, sat down beside him, and said with a smile, "Are you going to keep your back to me all the time?"

Joseph touched his neck in annoyance, and as soon as he turned around, he hiccuped, revealing the nervousness in his heart at the moment, and sure enough, he saw the shallow smile on Hugo's face. Joseph sat down in his chair with a look of resignation.

"I heard Superman say, you shouldn't be on the set, you have other jobs, don't you?" Hugo didn't beat around the bush either, and said it straight to the point.

Although Joseph was already mentally prepared, he was still stunned by Hugo's words, and sighed helplessly, "I told you that this is an office, and it is also an office on Constellation Avenue, and it is the same." ”

"You know that's not what I said." Hugo pulled the corners of his mouth helplessly, but Joseph looked away, not daring to meet Hugo's sincere eyes.

Hugo paused, trying to organize his language. When he heard Carl talk about the current situation of Nicholas, Matt, Ben and others, Hugo was quite surprised, he thought that Joseph had always done an excellent job, after all, in the past two years, Joseph had been in charge of his work has been conscientious, even if there are few brilliant moments, but every time he can complete the task excellently, so Hugo could not imagine such a situation at all.

But if you think about it, it's normal, the biggest reason why Hugo didn't replace Joseph is because they are friends, and secondly, because Hugo has experienced the case of Lang Yimayer, and he is also very cautious about the selection of agents, so far, Joseph is very much in line with his expectations.

But this is not the case for others, people go to high places and water flows to low places, and in the Hollywood circle where interests are paramount, the lure of a top agent. The confusion is not inferior to the level of top directors and top producers.

It's just that Hugo didn't expect Joseph's situation to be so difficult, but Joseph didn't say anything, and still stayed in the "life and death" crew every day, which made Hugo a little uneasy and regretful.

"Joe, you're an agent." Hugo opened his mouth to speak, and this stupid vernacular made Joseph raise his head to look at Hugo, and Hugo couldn't help but smile, "You know what I mean, you're an agent." You know, an agent can't be with an actor all day, he has many, many things to deal with. You look at Carl, although Charlize and Alex are both friends with Carl, Carl has to stay in the office all day to take care of business instead of following Alex on the set to take care of him. This is the difference between a broker and a manager. ”

"I know, Joe, you're still sorry for the past." Before Hugo's words were finished, Joseph spoke up, but Hugo still shook his head and interrupted Joseph, and continued, "Every time you look at me, every time you handle my work, including every time you stay in the crew, you can feel this, you are expressing your apologies." ”

Hugo's words made Joseph unable to refute, he could only be silent, and then avoided his gaze in some embarrassment.

"Joe, I know you're sorry, I know your remorse, but...... You didn't ruin my career, you didn't ruin my future, and you didn't ruin my life. We're just ...... It's just a fight, you know, like all friends, a fight. We'll argue, we'll hate each other, but we'll still forgive each other and understand each other, and we've already communicated about that, haven't we?" Hugo said sincerely, in fact, Joseph's persistence and efforts during this time, Hugo saw it, and he also sincerely accepted Joseph's apology, which is all true, but obviously, Joseph does not seem to have completely let go.

"So, there's no need for you to feel guilty, there's no need to make amends, and there's no need to be sorry all the time. We're friends, we've always been, you know, what is the definition of a friend? Learning to tolerate and forgive each other is the core of a friendship that lasts, isn't it?"

Joseph looked up at Hugo's sincere eyes and let out a long breath, "Friend." Then he tugged at the corners of his mouth, "yes, we're friends, yes, friends." ”
