"I'd like to see that." Hugo sat at the table, eating the bacon on his plate, and sighed in amazement, "The flying paper, the jaw-dropping expression, the tense atmosphere...... Tut-tut, people who don't know still think they're making a movie. ”

Rick really has a domineering spirit, and directly spilled the information in the entire briefcase, this move is more direct than directly slapping Marven in the face, it is estimated that the atmosphere inside the entire International Sword New Management Company today is very weird.

"Rick said, those are all waste scripts, and the real information has already been faxed out." Joseph explained, and he came over with a coffee pot and filled Hugo's cup.

Hugo was not surprised at all, he reminded Rick that if Rick didn't know how to be flexible, it would be a complete fool. So, even if Rick didn't transfer all the data, he couldn't have stupidly left with the data, which was to be expected.

"Haha, those who were deceived by Rick probably all felt distressed." Carl also had a rare moment of schadenfreude, he was not usually a joker, but as long as he remembered the atmosphere on the twenty-third floor at that time, he couldn't help but want to applaud, "Even the movie is not so spectacular!" Carl couldn't help but sigh again, "Those thousands of pieces of paper floated out in a hurry, and then the wind blew, and when I saw it on the twenty-third floor, I felt that the whole world was floating with white paper, tsk......"

"Is this thing very strict? Today, the Los Angeles Times has covered it. Alex was rather ignorant about these things, and although he knew what was going on, he never felt the severity of his sexuality. In fact, this is also because actors like Alex and Charlize have not yet qualified to enter this game, so they don't have such strong feelings.

Hugo raised an eyebrow, "They're so idle?"

Samora sat aside, and just as he opened the newspaper, Hugo leaned over, and Charlize, who was sitting opposite, also came over, and everyone cast curious glances.

Sure enough, I saw a press release, and it was actually news with pictures, which is really rare, but the pictures are not a spectacular scene of paper flying all over the sky, but the gate of the International Sword New Management Company. The news only briefly introduced the internal contradictions of the international sword new management company, and then mentioned that Rick Rosen was swept away, thinking that there will be a lot of turmoil in the brokerage industry in the next period of time.

At a glance, he knew that the reporter didn't dig up too much of the inside story, Hugo swept his eyes, and it was not Nicholas McLen, and he immediately showed a clear expression: No wonder this guy hasn't called him until now.

"Hollywood is just that big, and our company is also a top player, this kind of big thing must be paid attention to, normal." Joseph is not at all surprised by the media coverage, "But they are not very interested in the inside story, don't you see?" Except for Rick, nothing else was mentioned at all. ”

"It's okay not to mention it, otherwise there will be a lot of uproar, and Marven will be on guard." Carl spoke, "Otherwise, Marven will find out who among the senior agents is leaving, and this matter will be even more troublesome." Speaking of this, Carl couldn't help but look at Joseph, "Rick really said that there are three people in the senior agent who are willing to leave with him?"

At present, there are only 18 senior agents at the top of the International Sword New Management Company, and everyone has a good hand under their hands, even if they are not the top Ming Xi - after all, there are only a handful of superstars in the whole of Hollywood, but the first-line artists or tomorrow's stars in their hands cannot be underestimated, and they are a very important force.

If four senior partners, including Rick himself, were to leave the door on their own, the odds of the new company's success would have to go up a few notches.

Joseph nodded, "That's what Rick told me, but let's wait and see, who knows what happens next." With that, Joseph glanced at Hugo, smiled, and looked away.

Since Hugo is investing in a new company, the relationship between Rick and Hugo is delicate. Rick and Hugo had a special phone call, and Joseph didn't know the content of the call, so he guessed that Rick should show Hugo some of his hole cards. Joseph didn't want to know, though, and he didn't want anyone else to know.

It's not a matter of trust or distrust, it's a matter of many people, and sometimes it's normal to say that you leak your mouth unintentionally, so the fewer people who know about it before the dust settles, the safer it is. Therefore, Joseph himself did not ask Hugo, nor did he tell the others that Hugo was going to invest in Rick, as if they were just ordinary small players in this incident.

In fact, Rick did show his hole cards to Hugo, not because he trusted Hugo, but because Hugo showed wisdom twice around yesterday afternoon, which made Rick's eyes light up, and he also had a tentative mind, so he showed his hole cards to Hugo to know, wanting to see how Hugo would react.

This time midnight politics. In the midst of the change, there are three other senior partners who are planning to leave the company with Rick, namely Ali Emmanuel and David Greenblatt (David. Greenblatt) and Tom Strykerer (Tom. strykerle)。 These three are the same as Rick, they are all full-fledged senior agents, Ali and Rick are on an equal footing, and David and Tom have gradually become the backbone, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

In addition to this, three other senior partners of small brokerage firms have also expressed their willingness to invest in the new firm, and together with a group of other capable brokers, the new firm was initially established with twenty-seven brokers, including Carl Earl and Henry Bloom; Of these, nine were senior partners – the first to take shares, including Hugo.

Generally speaking, at present, Hollywood can have 70 brokers, it can be regarded as a large brokerage company - there are only four at present, in addition to the three, and then there is the United Elite Company established in l991, but at present, the United Elite Company is still in the development stage, and there is still a gap between the three major standards, so people have not included it in the category of real large brokerage companies.

Judging from Rick's plan, the new company will start as a medium-sized brokerage company, but there is still a long way to go in the future.

If nothing else, this is the prototype of Endeavor Elite Company, although Hugo knows that Endeavor Elite Company will be one of the five major Hollywood brokerage companies in the future, but from the current point of view, it is full of difficulties, internal and external troubles, the company's internal personnel arrangements, office building arrangements, etc. are top priorities; The suppression from the International Jianxin Management Company, coupled with the squeeze of other medium-sized brokerage companies, is worrying.

Sure enough, the sword industry has never been a simple matter.

Hugo didn't notice Joseph's eyes, but he also knew that if he didn't say these things, he wouldn't say them, anyway, when things were successful, everyone would know, and now that they knew, they couldn't help, so Hugo changed the subject, "By the way, did Rick mention Lang's whereabouts?"

Hugo only remembered after hanging up Rick's phone, how Lang Yimayer had disappeared in this incident, and he could hardly be seen, as if he had disappeared at all.

Joseph nodded, but his eyes were a little cautious, "Long left the company, and he took over as the COO of Universal Pictures. ”

The relationship between Lang and Hugo has always been bad, but later because Hugo's career has improved, and Lang seems to have avoided the limelight, and the head-on confrontation with Hugo seems to have disappeared overnight. But now it seems that Lang has not disappeared, but has a new goal and started planning. If Lang became the COO of Universal Pictures, then a qiē can be explained.

As soon as Joseph's words came out, everyone quieted down, and seemed to realize the importance of the position of "chief operating officer", if you think about it further, Tracy has always had a very good relationship with Universal Pictures, and if Long can enter Universal Pictures, does Tracy have any credit?

Of course, this is just speculation, and it is impossible to verify it at all.

Hugo chuckled when he saw everyone's heaviness, "Actually, this is a good thing, the relationship between the agent and the artist, the relationship between the production company and the artist, these are two completely different connections." ”

The agent can be said to be dependent on the artist to live, and the artist's work is smooth to them; However, the relationship between the production company and the artist is mutually restrictive, and the artist is one of the tools to make money for them, which is only one of the links. This difference in connection is also bound to lead to a change in the way Zhan Lang and Hugo get along.

Hugo knows that they are actually worried that after Lang becomes the chief operating officer of Universal Pictures, Universal Pictures will not be the first choice in the selection of actors in the future, although it will not be blocked, but the difficulties will increase, which is expected. In other words, now Lang has the upper hand, because he can control the power of life and death whether Hugo will appear in the work or not.

But Hugo thinks from a different angle, so he doesn't have to worry too much. Joseph also said, "Lang needs to consider the interests of Universal Pictures, he has more constraints, there is definitely no way to do what he wants as before, and when he is under more pressure, in fact, his relationship with Hugo will also change." ”

Joseph now sees the problem much more clearly, and the overall picture is more obvious, so he only pauses and understands the deep meaning from Hugo's words.

To put it simply, agents are interests first, but they are for the sake of the artist and take the artist as the core; And the interests of the big production companies are paramount, and in the face of absolute interests, Lang can't refuse. So, on the surface, Lang has the upper hand, but in fact he also has more needs, and it is still impossible to predict how it will develop in the future. (To be continued [Provided].)
