The 411 power vortex of the comeback.

Long came to Philadelphia with confidence, and in order to wait for this opportunity, he began planning since the box office success of "Sleepless in Seattle" in its first week of release.

International Innovation Management is now at an inflection point in history, but it is also an opportunity for internal power struggles to add more leverage to powerful agents and truly become the top of the Hollywood pyramid. For agents, a 'good' actor may be worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in their hands, in addition to increasing their weight within the company, the increased confidence in the face of production companies and directors is also the representative of power.

International Innovation Management is currently one of the top three brokerage companies in the United States, and if it can take the initiative in this power competition, then the future can win both interests and power, fame and fortune, which is anyone's good wish.

Long knows his biggest disadvantage, he has a lot of 'good' actors, but he doesn't have a real top superstar that he has cultivated himself. At present, Hugo seems to be the most potential to become a superstar, and it is bound to make up for Lang's leakage.

Putting this aside, Hugo is actually coveted by many people within the company now, and it is not easy to find actors who can win the box office and get praise for their acting skills, so Joseph, who has Hugo's brokerage contract, has also become an important weight in the company's power struggle.

After all considerations, Lang felt that the best plan was to 'draw' the salary at the bottom of the kettle, and holding Hugo's brokerage contract in his hands was obviously the most secure approach. And after three full months of waiting, Lang finally had the perfect opportunity.

Lang has been paying attention to Joseph's recent trend, Nicolas Cage and the signing of two rookie actors have made Joseph's busy feet not touch the ground, and the company's partners have begun to extend an olive branch to Joseph, Joseph's social 'social' life has been very lively for a while, and even heard that co-president Marvin Josephson also intends to arrange an office for Joseph on the 22nd floor. It can be seen that Joseph is currently in a hot position within the company.

In such a situation, the inexperienced Joseph was naturally negligent, and there was a huge leak in his care of Hugo.

Since the success of "Sleepless in Seattle", the scripts of going to the "door" to find Hugo have gradually begun to increase, but Joseph has rejected them all, this matter is not a secret in the circle at all, because after Joseph emphasized "Schindler's list", Hugo needs to rest for a while. Even so, there was still a script that would be sent to the company, but unfortunately Joseph still didn't let go.

But surprisingly, there was a project from Columbia Pictures that was temporarily kept by Joseph, and Lang kept an eye on it. Although Lang didn't know the specific details of what happened after that, he guessed that it was not far from ten.

The first time Joseph almost missed the "Shawshank Redemption" because of his own negligence, which made the relationship between Hugo and Joseph a little strained. After that incident, Joseph became interested in the "Shawshank Redemption", and his contact with Frank became frequent, but surprisingly, a few days ago, Lang heard the news that Tim Robbins had suddenly emerged and was infinitely close to the "Shawshank Redemption".

Tim's agent is an old acquaintance of Lang, and he soon finds out. Originally, Frank had already made up his mind to cooperate with Hugo, but because Hugo had some ideas for changing the script, Frank still needed to communicate further with Hugo, and Frank 'handed over' the script to Joseph and waited for Hugo's response. But the problem is that Frank didn't wait for the news, apparently Joseph was too busy to forget about it, and Frank had to rush Joseph.

At this moment, both Joseph and Frank tried to contact Hugo, but neither of them could succeed, and it was Hugo's mobile phone that had a problem and lost contact. So Joseph thinks that they should sit down and talk about the details of the contract first, and the script can be discussed slowly by Hugo later; But Frank insisted that the contract should be negotiated after the script was settled. This has brought the negotiations between the two sides to an impasse.

Later, Frank seems to have urged Joseph to do the script again, but this time Joseph still wanted to have more advantage in the contract negotiation process, and did not give a positive reply.

Faced with Joseph's repeated neglect, Frank became angry. So there is Tim's follow-up, and looking at the current situation, Hugo is still 'blinded', if this trend continues, Hugo will inevitably pass by with "The Shawshank Redemption".

Lang realized that the opportunity had come. In Lang's opinion, no matter how busy Joseph was now, he was deadly to ignore Hugo. As an agent, it is my duty to reasonably arrange the work of my artists, and it is also a source of benefits, because agents are also ordinary people, and they also have their own preferences and relationships, so under the limited attention, there will inevitably be people who are more concerned and people who are more negligent, which is inevitable. But if you want to be a successful broker, you have to hide this preference, at least not too obviously.

When there is a job, even if the broker is busy, at least he should follow up in time, whether the work can be negotiated is another matter, timely update the news, and take the initiative to contact the manufacturer, which are all basic jobs. Negligence in this regard should never occur, because if the artist misses the work because of the agent's own negligence, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the relationship between the two parties, which is a sign that the agent is unprofessional and not responsible.

Therefore, Joseph's mistake was very fatal. What's more, Joseph was negligent in Hugo, the recent hot Hugo, Hugo, who brought an important turnaround to his work, which must not happen.

Longben thought that after he came to Philadelphia, he would be safe, but he didn't expect to eat a closed door in front of Hugo, and Hugo didn't give him any chance at all. Although he talked a lot just now, and the conversation between the two lasted for about five minutes, Lang knew that Hugo never gave him a chance, which made Lang Bai puzzled.

Could it be that Hugo didn't know the truth of the matter yet, and Joseph's negligence led the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption" to choose someone else?

After Lang vented just now, his feelings had stabilized, and he began to think about whether he should give up completely, or should he re-plan again?

Standing in place, Lang's cheeks were 'cloudy' and sunny, Hugo's hard bone was too troublesome, but the interests involved in him were really exciting. Long thought about it, first look at the relationship between Hugo and Joseph after this incident, and then say, if he wants to make another move, he must be before the release of "Schindler's List", otherwise he will lose the opportunity.

After making a calculation, Lang looked back at the direction where Hugo disappeared and spat on the ground, although he had already sorted out his thoughts, but for Hugo's ignorant approach just now, as well as his pretentious attitude, Lang still couldn't swallow this breath, "Then let's see."

Lang stood in his eyes and his thoughts were turbulent, and Hugo returned to the hotel room, but without Lang chattering non-stop, Hugo's thoughts calmed down, it was all Lang's family just now, he didn't know the truth of the matter, or should he 'figure' it out

Even if "The Shawshank Redemption" is indeed another person, the reason may not be Joseph, and there are countless possible 'sex', for example, Frank is not satisfied with the idea of revising the script, and feels that there is no need to cooperate with Hugo; Or maybe Columbia Pictures felt that Hugo's involvement in the script was too long.

Originally, the matter of casting in the circle was very complicated, and just listening to Lang say a few words like that, it was naturally impossible to get a glimpse of the whole picture.

After Hugo calmed down, he still called Joseph first as usual, and to his surprise, it was a 'woman' voice who answered the phone, "Hello, this is Joseph Gibbs's office, how can I help you?" ”

"Well, this is Hugo Lancaster. Is Joseph here, please? Hugo frowned slightly.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lancaster, I'm Anna, Mr. Gibbs's assistant." The other party obviously knew who Hugo was, and his voice immediately became much warmer.

However, there has been no contact for more than half a month, and Joseph actually has an assistant, but it makes sense to think about it, at least he won't think that he couldn't contact Joseph like before. "What about Joe? Out of the office? Hugo's eyebrows were still slightly frowned, but his voice relaxed a little.

"He's having a meeting with Mr. Cage right now, it may take a while, are you in a hurry?" Anna said exactly.

Hugo thought for a moment, "No need, you told Joe that I had called, please be sure to contact me as much as possible." Oh, by the way, I probably won't be carrying my phone in the afternoon, so tell him and I'll call him in the evening. ”

"No problem, I'll pass it on, is there anything else?" Anna politely said that this made Hugo feel a little weird, he always felt that it was not like he was talking to Joseph, but like talking to Lang, but he knew that Lang's assistant Gary was a little more enthusiastic.

"No, no." Although he had an idea in his heart, Hugo still said it neatly, and then hung up the phone.

Looking at the landline, Hugo couldn't help but be a little distracted, Joseph has been really busy recently, and he is having a work meeting with Nicolas Cage, probably to choose a new work for Nicholas. He should be happy for Joseph, shouldn't he?

Hugo let out a long breath, then picked up the receiver again, dialed another number, and soon the other person picked up the phone, "Hello, this is Frank Delabant." ”
