Lang's refusal was too blunt and direct, and it didn't save Hugo any face at all. Joseph regretted a little, he shouldn't have brought Hugo with him, he subconsciously glanced back at Hugo and expressed his concern.

Hugo felt a little innocent at this time, because as far as he was concerned, he and Lang had nothing to do with it, and today was just the first time they met, so even if Lang rejected him, Hugo didn't think too much, just talked about things, and simply felt that Lang really didn't give any affection. So Hugo's eyes froze at Joseph's gaze, and then quietly drifted to the side: he didn't know what reaction he was going to make at this time.

As a senior agent, it is naturally impossible for Lang to "humiliate" the other party in front of Hugo, which is too rude, so his voice fell, and then he looked at Hugo, "Hugo, you know, this is not aimed at you, it's just 'Ben." The positioning of this movie does not match your image, which is really inappropriate. ”

This is purely talking nonsense with open eyes, and it is not for Hugo to play "Ben". Yes", just attending the premiere ceremony, it's like actors inviting their relatives and friends to attend a party, which has nothing to do with the subject matter and nature of the movie. Unless Hugo is still underage, there is still some truth in Nalang's statement.

Hugo's gaze was only halfway away, and he didn't know how to respond to Joseph, when he heard Lang's words, he said, "Uh, what is my image?" ”

This sentence pushed back, but Lang was stunned, but after all, he was also a battle-hardened person, and he quickly reacted, "Youth, vitality, health, sunshine." Although it was an improvisable answer, it was very accurate, and Lang also served as Hugo's agent for six years, and Hugo was an actor brought out by Lang, which he still knew very well.

"Then why can't I attend this premiere?" Hugo immediately followed up with another question, which was much more direct than Joseph's, and in an instant Lang couldn't help but run out of words, and the whole person looked a little wolf.

In fact, as far as Hugo is concerned, he doesn't know what the purpose of Joseph's arrangement is, what occasions are suitable, and what activities are helpful to the image of the actor, these things Hugo has never touched, so naturally he doesn't understand. But "Ben." Yes, "At the premiere of this movie, Hugo was indeed a little interested.

Although I don't like Sharon Stone, "Ben." "This movie was born back then, which can be said to have broken the illusions of countless teenagers about the relationship between men and women, and the exposed scenes in the movie are really unforgettable. It is rumored that many top actresses refused to play because of too many exposed scenes in the movie, but Sharon, who was unknown, undressed in front of the camera in order to get this role, and finally Sharon got this role and became famous. This also makes the film full of Hollywood-style open-faced rules.

Of course, in terms of artistry, there is not much to discuss about this film, even if the film was a global sensation in the year of its release, but the heroine Sharon and the director Paul Verhoeven (Paul). verhoeven) after this film, have never come up with a masterpiece in their respective careers "Ben." "can" has become the only masterpiece.

Hugo was also a little curious, "Ben." Can".

In the face of Hugo's quick question, Lang couldn't answer for a while, which made him a little annoyed and angry, the young man who was once easily controlled by him seemed to be a little out of control today, "You know, we want the premiere to be as grand as possible, not all levels of actors can get the opportunity to attend." ”

This is actually a satire that Hugo's level is not enough. Lang is already very restrained himself, he is annoyed that Hugo has come to the door three times and twice to ask for help after Hugo left his wing, he has no remuneration to help Hugo now, it just increases his burden, not to mention that Hugo is deep in the quagmire after the Golden Raspberry Award, helping Hugo is a loss-making deal, Lang is not so broad-minded.

Thinking of this, Lang's tone couldn't help but become a little more blunt, "The negative impact of the Golden Raspberry Award has not dissipated yet, and Columbia Pictures doesn't want to associate its own film with the Golden Raspberry Award." ”

The aggressiveness of these two sentences is very strong, it can be called a snake hitting seven inches, and it directly hits the point that Joseph is most worried about now: before the release of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman", Hugo is expected to be ridiculed for a long time with the title of the worst actor in the Golden Raspberry Award.

"Stallone will be disappointed when he hears this." Hugo replied with a smile, in fact, there are countless big-name actors in history who have won the Golden Raspberry Award, Laurence Oliver (laurence. Olivier), Brooke. Shields), Daryl Hannah (Daryl. Hannah) and so on, so Lang's sentence can be said to have overturned a boatload of people. Hugo certainly knew it wouldn't be possible if Sylvester Stallone were going to attend "Ben." can", Lang is definitely not wanted.

But in the face of Hugo's counterattack, Long was not worried at all, he pulled out a disdainful smile, "Wait until you reach the level of Sylvester." "The subtext is: you're not weighty enough.

Lang's words were really merciless, basically erasing the previous six-year friendship with Hugo Lancaster. In fact, for a senior broker like Lang, there are not a hundred but eighty of his clients, and he has no way to take care of them one by one, so it is natural to maximize the benefits, and whoever can bring him the most commission, he will care about who he cares about the most, and the reason is very simple. is similar to Hugo, a half-red and non-purple, death-dead actor, Lang really doesn't bother to communicate more.

Standing next to Joseph, who watched Hugo and Lang come and go, he couldn't help but sigh that Hugo's attitude towards Lang had changed dramatically, and Hugo's inclination towards Lang did not appear, and he was not angry in the face of Lang's rejection and rejection of Hugo, and now Hugo is in a head-on confrontation with Lang, which is really surprising.

But at this time, Joseph didn't care about continuing to sigh, Lang's words became more and more ugly, and he was almost about to tear his face, Joseph immediately stood up, "After Hugo reaches that level, he won't stand here." A sentence sarcastically said that Lang was not qualified enough to take on the work of these big-name actors, which suddenly made Lang's face change.

"If it weren't for Hugo's 'outstanding performance' at the Golden Raspberry Awards, there wouldn't be where we are today." Lang Yi seemed to be a bad-tempered man, and said angrily, the impatience in his tone was no longer concealed, and it seemed that he did not welcome Hugo to him at all.

This sentence immediately made Joseph choke his chest in one breath, if it wasn't for Lang to persuade Hugo to attend, how could Hugo go to the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, how could he make a fool of himself, and how could he face the difficulties later. It's good now, Lang actually beat a rake, which is really depressing.

"After the release of 'Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman', you'd better not be jealous of Hugo's success!" Hugo saw Joseph get angry for the first time in two months, even backstage at the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony, even when he was provoked at the audition for "Smell a Woman", Joseph was not angry, but today he vented his temper unabashedly.

At this time, Hugo felt that Joseph was also a young and vigorous young man, he was only twenty-eight years old this year, and the momentum and recklessness in his bones had not yet dissipated.

"It's better to have a day like this." Lang said with a sneer, with a look of disdain, obviously he is not optimistic about Hugo's development prospects at all now, otherwise he would not have transferred Hugo to Joseph. Before, Lang wanted to maintain a good relationship with Hugo, but now he couldn't help it, and he showed his true feelings without any disguise. "In that case, you shouldn't be here today, you shouldn't have asked me for an invitation." Joseph, who said this sentence, was directly blocked on the spot.

"Then, if you have nothing else to do, please leave." Lang regained his high posture when they first came in, and rushed straight away, "I'm very busy, and there are still three phone calls waiting for me to reply." Long picked up the phone on the table, pressed a button, and shouted directly into the speakerphone, "Gary! Joseph and Hugo, please leave, I still have a meeting. "This direct eviction order is utter contempt.

In the face of the sudden outburst of Lang and Joseph, Hugo himself actually didn't feel deeply, after all, he crossed over halfway, and he didn't experience so many things, so his natural experience was not so unforgettable. But at this time, looking at Lang's disgusted expression, Hugo was also repulsed: since everyone is eager to clear up the relationship, then why should they come to the door?

Hugo pulled Joseph's arm and said indifferently, "Joseph, let's go." Al Pacino and Jack Nicholson are still waiting for Lang's reply, don't disturb anyone else's work. This sentence immediately made Joseph not hold back, and he burst out laughing.

Although it was just a fluttering sentence, it poked directly at Lang's sore spot. Lang can now be called a top agent, but there is no real top superstar under his hands, and Michael Douglas, who is currently the best performer, is not brought out by him, to put it bluntly, his hard power has not been recognized by the industry. A real ace agent is bound to have a case of pushing a newcomer to the top with his own hands, and what Lang lacks is precisely this stepping stone.

Joseph's laughter added fuel to the fire, making Lang's anger explode directly, but he couldn't refute it, otherwise he would just make himself more cheap. So he could only watch Hugo and Joseph calmly leave their office, and before leaving, Hugo smiled at Gary and said, "Gary, Lang is picking up Steven Spielberg right now. Spielberg), please don't bother him. ”

After Gary watched Hugo leave, he looked at Lang with a puzzled look on his face, who was not answering the phone at all, and he couldn't help but ask curiously, "Spielberg?" ”

"Get out!" Lang couldn't suppress his anger anymore and roared at his assistant.
