"Hugo, Hugo, left, left!" Joseph had to call out to Hugo, who was standing at the intersection and disoriented, he obviously shouted to the left, but Hugo turned to the right, which made Joseph really cry and laugh.

Hugo was inherently insensitive to direction and location, and when he was yelled at by Joseph, he realized that he had made a mistake again, and he couldn't help touching his nose in embarrassment. The people who were working around saw Hugo's embarrassment and couldn't help but laugh lowly, which made Hugo even more embarrassed.

Joseph followed, and said helplessly, "Left, this direction." Then he walked to the front to lead the way, but the stiff expression on his face was completely relaxed. Hugo pursed his lips and walked briskly after Joseph.

After getting back into the elevator, Joseph's brain also came to his senses, he looked up at Hugo vaguely, then withdrew his gaze, and whispered, "I'm sorry." Joseph was apologizing for his ability to work, he could see the opposition between Hugo and Lang clearly just now, and he also knew that Hugo was now completely settled and chose to believe in himself, but Joseph had no way to bring Hugo the corresponding job, which really made him a little frustrated.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders without minding, "No. Aren't we all working on it? "Hugo is trying to be a good actor again, and Joseph is trying to be a great agent, of course, this process will not be too easy, but the process of fighting is also beautiful.

Joseph didn't say anything more, but his heart began to calculate, except for "Ben." Yes", but then Joseph thought of something and looked up at Hugo, "What did you do to Lang...... Very tough. This is not the Hugo he remembers, Hugo used to trust Lang very much, mainly because of the long-term cooperation in the previous six years. But this is not the case today, could it be that Hugo finally saw Lang's true face?

Since Hugo directly confronted Lang in the office, he was ready for Joseph to be suspicious, and sure enough, Joseph asked, and he replied calmly, "What else would you like me to do?" Kneeling down and crying and begging Lang to give me an invitation? This retort made Joseph choke, but he didn't know how to respond. Hugo continued, "If he is not optimistic about my future, why should I beg him to look at me? Besides, he's not super handsome, and I don't like his one. ”

Hugo's last self-deprecating and ridiculous sentence reminded Joseph of Gary's blatantness just now, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch again, and the smile in his eyes flickered slightly.

The elevator soon stopped on the seventeenth floor, and Joseph walked out on his own initiative, with Hugo following behind and began to look around. The atmosphere here is very different from that of the 23rd floor, which is a completely formulaic office space, with offices separating the space of each agent; The seventeenth floor is more like a normal office, everyone only has a large or small work cubicle, and you can take half a step back in the office chair and talk to your colleagues next door.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Hugo could clearly feel the noise and laughter, and the whole floor seemed full of energy. Joseph just walked out, and there were people constantly greeting Joseph, and they didn't forget to wave and nod to Hugo, compared to the official business on the twenty-third floor, this place seems to be much more humane. Hugo even wondered if it was the same company.

Following Joseph, Hugo soon came to a cubicle, watched Joseph sit down skillfully on the office chair, and then raised his head and asked, "Carl, where is Charlie?" ”

A familiar face on the other side looked up, "It's out." It's Carl Earle, the agent who chased Charlize in the first place, "Hey, Hugo. Carl also saw Hugo and greeted him with a smile on his face.

Joseph asked Hugo to sit down at the vacant seat of the agent next to him, Charlie, and he casually explained, "Carl changed places at the beginning of this year and sat across from me. Then Joseph began to search his desk, which was piled up with countless papers, and muttered, "Where is the address book that Lang gave me last time?" ”

Carl stood up and didn't sit down, but turned to Hugo and asked, "Hugo, are you still in touch with Charlize Theron?" She never answered my calls, so ......" Carl's expression was a little embarrassed, he still didn't have an artist under him, and he sat in the office in a daze all day. It was like a wall to see the tall Karl standing in front of him, but the expression on his face was so sincere that it was surprisingly harmonious.

In a brokerage company, the basic salary is pitiful, and the agents have to rely on the artist's work to make a living, and without an artist, it is equivalent to a low income. Carl's current life can be said to be miserable, and he is almost unable to pay the rent.

"No, I haven't heard from her since I went to New York." Hugo could only say sorry, and seeing Carl's disappointed expression, Hugo added, "But I told her before, you are a very good agent, trustworthy." ”

Hugo's words gave Carl a glimmer of hope, and he couldn't help but smile, "Thank you." ”

"Hey, Hugo!" A voice came from behind him, interrupting the conversation between Hugo and Carl, Hugo turned his head to look, and saw a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old, and the unfamiliar face made Hugo full of question marks, "Who is this?" It's a pity that the memories of the predecessor in his head did not give Hugo any response.

Fortunately, Joseph also sensed the voice, and when he looked back, he stopped the workstation in his hand and got up, with a friendly smile on his face, and greeted him, "Mr. Witt! How do you have time to come to the company? ”

Witt? This surname, combined with the strange and familiar face in front of him, finally awakened Hugo's memory, and the person in front of him was Paul Jonge Witt (Paul). junger。 Witt), he is a filmmaker, and he met Hugo because he was the main producer of the "Dead Poets Society". To put it simply, Paul is one of the heroes of Hugo's fame.

"Mr. Witt, it's been a long time." Hugo also shook Paul's outstretched right hand and greeted him politely. Although Hugo did not experience the filming process of "Dead Poets Society", and Paul did not feel familiar at all, this did not prevent Hugo from expressing his admiration for Paul, because "Dead Poets Society" was originally one of his favorite films.

Paul laughed, "You've been lost in the neon lights of Hollywood for the past few years, and it's not that easy to meet." As an elder, he said this jokingly, and Hugo had no way to refute it. But I heard that your cooperation with Al Pacino this time is very good, and the crew is full of praise for you, and I finally heard good news again. ”

"Phew, I hope it's not too late." Hugo replied with a smile, which immediately made Paul laugh.

"I didn't expect to meet you here today, since I did, then I ask you, I have a movie in my hand that will premiere next week, are you interested in coming to the premiere ceremony?" Paul was also quick to speak, looking at Hugo with a smile, "I came to the company today to ask for an invitation, this premiere only has two hundred invitations, and several leading actors have been separated, but my two friends can't get invitations when they want to attend, so I came over today to have a look." ”

After speaking, Paul raised the several invitations in his hand, "Fortunately, I still have a little face and did not disappoint my friend, otherwise I would have been nagged for the next period of time." ”

When Joseph heard Paul's words, his eyes lit up, and someone had really just fallen asleep and someone brought a pillow to him. Although he was fiercely rejected by Lang, who would have thought that Paul, who had the grace of knowing Hugo, would come to the company today? Perhaps, this is the opportunity that truly belongs to Hugo.

"Isn't your invitation for a friend?" Joseph asked cautiously, but the seriousness in his eyes still revealed the desire of his heart, and he did not want to miss this opportunity to be sent to the door.

"No, the agent gave me an extra one in order to apologize, if Hugo has time, he can come over and cheer for our film, I think the reporters will be very happy to see Hugo appear." Paul still admires Hugo very much, although Tracy let Hugo into the crew of the "Dead Poets Society", but Hugo conquered the entire crew with his own strength and won the love of film critics. "As long as you don't dislike the small scale of our film, this time the film is only 25 million invested, and next week we will face Columbia Pictures' capital. Yes, I really don't know what the future holds. ”

The investment of $25 million is not as good as "Ben." "$49 million, but it's no less significant." Such a suitable opportunity is really rare.

"It's great to be able to be there at the premiere." As soon as Hugo saw Joseph, he determined Joseph's urgency at this time, so he agreed, "You know, it's not so easy for me to get a job offer recently. After saying that, Hugo pouted self-deprecatingly.

Since the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo's situation in Hollywood is more or less known to people in the industry, which is why Paul just saw Hugo and took the initiative to step forward, if he could, he didn't mind pulling Hugo again, especially after he listened to his friend's expression of Hugo in "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman".

"On March 18, the Fox Theatre (FOX. theatre), don't be late. Paul smiled at Hugo's self-deprecation, took out an invitation in his hand, and handed it to Hugo, "I still have something to do, so let's go first." Wait until the day of the premiere. ”

It wasn't until Paul left completely that Hugo showed a bright smile, waved his right fist vigorously, and then raised the invitation in his left hand, "Joseph, I got a new job offer!" Joseph and Carl, who were standing next to him, couldn't help but get excited when they looked at Hugo's sunny smile.
