Hugo looked at Lang with vigilance, he had no way to hide the true feelings of his heart freely now, at most he could only show a little detachment, and under Lang's calculations, Hugo was still too young to deal with it a little hard. Moreover, Hugo knew too little, so he couldn't piece together a complete territory, and even more so he couldn't fight against Lang.

However, Hugo has never been a person who disarms lightly, although in terms of social experience and 'yin' calculations, Hugo is not as good as Lang, but in terms of flexible thinking, Hugo is not weak at all, his eyes rolled, outlining a shallow smile, hiding his inner vigilance, "Challenges are always in place, people who have no strength are afraid of challenges, and hope to choose shortcuts; But people with strength will rise to the challenge, and even enjoy the 'excitement' of the challenge process. ”

Since Lang has been hinting that Brad may have to take the lead and grab the horn of the "sugar-coated trap" by relying on interpersonal relationships, then Hugo ignores the deeper meaning behind Lang and responds head-on.

Sure enough, this sentence made Lang's expression pause for a moment, and then it deepened. Although Lang had noticed Hugo's changes in the previous meetings, it was just lip service, but today, Lang could perceive that Hugo's confidence was a lot more sufficient, and it was not as blindly confident as in the previous two years, and it was more solid and ...... Calmly, although still immature, you can already see a lot of growth, which makes Lang a little surprised.

In the face of Hugo's provocation, Lang's first reaction was to lose his temper, his temper has always been bad, but in a blink of an eye, thinking of the important 'sex' of today's luncheon, and his calculations, he forcibly suppressed his feelings and covered his anger with a smile, "But more often than not, many challenges are over before they start, this society is equal, but not fair." ”

In the past, Hugo did not understand this sentence, what is called this society is equal, but not fair. But then I read a comic, and I immediately understood. On the same starting line, the parent on the left escorts the child in a car, and the parent on the right escorts the child with a trolley. The starting point is the same, this is equality, but the tools for moving forward are different, which is unfair.

In the audition of the "sugar-coated trap", the embodiment of equality and fairness is even more vivid. Hugo thought that it had been a month since "Sugar-Coated Trap" sent him an invitation to audition, and even the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng" had entered the fourth week, but the audition had never started. It can be seen that Lang's words are not empty 'holes', he must know some insiders.

Hugo's first reaction was to refute Lang, but he soon realized that now Lang was calculating him, he couldn't be led by the nose, since he had no way to see through Lang's plan, it was better to see what kind of card Lang had in his hand, anyway, it was Lang who took the initiative to find him, not him.

After thinking about it, Hugo swallowed the words that came to his lips and looked at Lang quietly.

Just a silence made Lang's abacus run aground temporarily, Hugo regained a little disadvantage, Lang's temper suddenly came up again, if it was before, it would not be difficult for him to control Hugo at all, of course, thanks to Tracy's help, but now, Lang found that things were not so easy.

Lang decided not to go around in circles anymore, and he smiled at Hugo, "Sometimes, fairness is not so difficult. In the entertainment industry, a 'colorful' agent can shorten the distance a lot. ”

The implication of this sentence is already very obvious, but Hugo is a little incomprehensible, is Lang digging into his corner? Could it be that Lang wants to leave Joseph himself and then sign with Lang? This...... Is this possible? Did Lang feel that he was going to come forward with an olive branch?

But why? Did Lang forget the unpleasantness of the previous few times, the Golden Raspberry Award is so, "Ben. Yes" The premiere was so, and so was Alepje's small movements......

But Hugo didn't have more time to think, because Lang began to throw the 'lure' bait, "It's not difficult for me to make an appointment with Sidney for dinner, if necessary, tonight." This is the beginning of blatantly approaching Hugo, it seems that Lang has given up the roundabout policy, because Hugo's eloquence Lang has been taught before, it is definitely not that simple, on the contrary, it is better to impress the other party with real discounts to be effective.

Hugo frowned slightly, he seemed to have realized something: he is now relying on two movies to return to the top, and works like "Sugar-Coated Trap" and "Sleepless in Seattle" are willing to give Hugo a chance, and after Hugo knows a number of important connections such as Al-Pacino, Jack-Nicholson, Bo-Goodman, Rob-Reiner, etc., his future career in the entertainment industry will only go more and more smoothly, in other words, the chances of success of agents are still increasing, The difficulty of brokers securing jobs for Hugo has also dropped dramatically.

To put it more bluntly, if Hugo can star in "Sugar-Coated Trap" and Lang is confident that he will get Hugo a salary of $8 million, then Lang's 10% 'draw' achievement will be a huge amount of income - $800,000 including tax. No wonder Lang was tempted.

Seeing the subtle change in Hugo's expression, Lang thought he had moved Hugo, and before Hugo could speak, Lang continued to pretend to be profound, "Actually, Sidney and I are still talking about another big project, a very big project, and what I can give you is Sidney and Martin and Scorse. Scorsese), Mel Gibson, Kevin Costner are all on the tentative list for this project. ”

Compared with the previous 'decoy' bait, this second news is obviously more explosive, and Lang's expression is obviously saying: Come back to me, then you will also be a part of this project. However, Lang had no intention of continuing to reveal the second news, to be precise, he felt that the bomb released today was enough, so he smiled at Hugo, and then turned away, not giving Hugo more opportunities to refute, but leaving Hugo room to think.

Hugo stood there and thought about it, although he had a clear enough understanding of Lang's purpose, he still needed to confirm it, so Hugo looked around, and soon found Gary Scott-Lang's assistant. Although Gary is Lang's assistant, Gary is much easier to get along with than Lang, and he also has a lot of grievances with Lang, often talking about Lang behind his back.

Gary saw Hugo's figure coming, and a smile immediately bloomed on his face, "Hey, little sunshine, it's really been a long time." ”

Hugo's originally slightly depressed mood couldn't help but feel funny when he saw Gary's undisguised admiration, and he burst out laughing, "Gary, you don't have to flatter me, this trick won't work for me." Hugo's warm and teasing words made Gary pout in frustration, and then muttered, "At least you can satisfy my fantasies." ”

Hugo suddenly made a frightened expression, "Gary, you scared me!" I don't want to know your fantasies!" Gary couldn't help laughing when he saw Hugo's expression, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood.

"Gary, I'm looking for you to ask something." Hugo restrained the smile on his face and looked around to make sure Lang wasn't nearby before asking.

"I knew it wouldn't be good for you to come to me on your own initiative." Gary cocked an orchid 'flower' finger, rolled his eyes, and 'revealed' a typical gossip expression, "Say, whose gossip do you want to inquire about?"

"Your boss." As soon as Hugo's words came out, Gary was stunned and threw a complaining look, Hugo quickly explained, "It's not gossip, I want to ask you, Lang has been talking to Sidney about the 'sugar-coated trap' project recently?"

Gary immediately understood, "Aha! Lang went to look for you just now!" Hugo nodded in agreement. Gary also looked around vigilantly, and said to Hugo in a low voice, "Long asked Sidney about another project, a project with Universal Pictures. ”

Hugo's head suddenly became clear, "And the project that Tracy collaborated on?" Rick and Rosen had told Hugo that Lang, Tracy and Universal Pictures were negotiating a big project, and judging from the news that Lang had just revealed, this was indeed a very huge project, which can be described as ambitious.

Gary nodded, "But the project is still under discussion, and I don't know anything about it." After Gary finished speaking, he made a cross gesture with the index fingers of both hands on his mouth, indicating that in fact, he still knew some news, but he was Lang's assistant after all, so he couldn't leak the news at will.

Hugo couldn't help but smile, "I don't care about that project. I ask you, what the hell is the 'sugar-coated trap'?"

Gary then put his hands down, "He wants you back, it's as simple as that." He's been in contact with Sidney lately anyway, and if you're willing to come back, the 'Sugarcoat Trap' is just a passing project. ”

The "sugar-coated trap" budget of $60 million was actually only incidental, which made Hugo even more curious about that big project. However, now Lang's 'yin' plot has gradually become clear.

Long is planning to join forces with Tracy to win this big project of Universal Pictures, and Tracy has been planning since the beginning of March this year, and both of them plan to use this project to rise strongly. And believing that there was absolutely no place for herself in this project, Tracy would not have agreed. Maybe it will also become a project for them to suppress themselves, such as praising Brad, or resolutely removing themselves from this project, in short, something like that.

But the problem is that now Hugo's resurgence and momentum have made Lang think again, which makes the situation complicated. As for Lang's hint that there will be a place for Hugo in this project, but the moon in the water is still really something, then it is unknown

"Are you going to come back?" Gary asked suddenly, interrupting Hugo's train of thought.

Hugo raised his eyebrows, and after reacting to Gary's question, he laughed hehe, "Gary, are you really that naïve?" This sentence is enough to express his opinion: no matter how 'tempting' the pie painted by Lang is, even if the pie is real, Hugo will never return to Lang's flag. This is not only a love for Joseph's friends, but also Hugo's own insistence.

Gary shrugged his shoulders regretfully, "I knew that. But then he smiled brightly, "But I expected your answer." ”
