The car drove directly to Santa Monica, where Endeavour Elite Brokerage rented a three-story office building near the main road from Santa Monica Avenue to serve as the company's office building.

In fact, it is already some distance from Beverly Hills, Constellation Boulevard, and Sunset Plaza, and due to financial constraints, Rick has no more options, and he finally did his best to temporarily arrange the office building near Santa Monica Boulevard, and it is only 30 minutes to drive along Santa Monica Boulevard to those major work sites, which can be reached within 30 minutes, which can be regarded as the tallest among the short.

Looking at the dilapidated office building in front of him, Hugo was still a little uncomfortable at first, especially when he recalled the first time he arrived at the International Sword New Management Company located on Constellation Avenue, he felt more and more interesting: when his career was at a low point, he saw the luxury and magnificence of his brokerage company, which was an eye-opener; Now that his career has reached a certain height, he has chosen a new brokerage company and started from scratch.

In fact, Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company has been officially established since April, but at this time the company is still not completely settled, the whole seems to be a mess, after Hugo walked into the company, there are even immature interns screaming excitedly, so that the people around them think that something is wrong, and they have come to watch, blocking the corridor that is not spacious and completely messy.

Finally, Rick and Rosen and Ali Emmanuel came forward to bring the situation under control and brought Hugo to Rick's office.

"Sorry, we have limited funds at the moment, and we can only afford to rent such an office space." Rick said with an apologetic smile, which was very convincing with his non-threatening height and honest expression.

Hugo glanced back at the scene outside the transparent glass door, only allowing two people to walk side by side in a narrow aisle, flanked by office cubicles like tofu blocks, from Hugo's height of the line of sight condescendingly, you can see stacks of materials on the desk that have not been organized, as well as unfinished boxes, telephones, desk lamps, pen holders and other office utensils are scattered together, more exaggerated than the desks of domestic college entrance examination students.

Hugo smiled, "The office building itself is not a problem, the internal chaos is the big problem." "Hit the nail on the head and named the current situation of Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company.

Rick and Ali exchanged glances with each other, Rick had a slightly embarrassed smile on his face, and Ali's expression was a little ambiguous. Ambiguous. Indeed, the biggest problem of Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company is its own internal chaos, although the company will be established next week for two months, but everything is still not clear, things are still not on track.

On the one hand, any new company has to go through this chaotic situation at the beginning of its establishment, and the constant turmoil will continue for at least three to six months; On the other hand, it is because the International Jianxin Brokerage Company has united several peers such as the Jianxin Artist Agency to put pressure on the Endeavor Elite Brokerage Company, so that several leaders such as Rick and Ali must be busy for the artists in their hands, and there is no way to tidy up the company well.

In fact, the reason why Rick dared to argue with the International Sword New Management Company was because he had enough strength, although he lost Arnold - Schwarzenegger and Eddie - Murphy two generals, but he said that he still had Tom Hanks, Clint - Eastwood, Al - Pacino and other important figures, and signed a rookie actress Cameron Diaz.

Originally, Marven and Josephson didn't care about Rick, because the only card left in Rick's hand that could be called the top level was Clint.

After Al won the Oscar, he was in a state of semi-rest, and in the past two years, he has only starred in one "Dawn of Sui Xiao", but this work is brilliant with the supporting role Sean Yipan; Before March, Tom could only be regarded as an actor in the transition period from the second line to the first line; As for Cameron, he is completely new, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it has not caused any controversy and discussion.

But who knows, Tom became the new Oscar winner, and Hugo, who Marven has been fighting for, turned to Rick again, which suddenly turned the balance of power upside down. Especially at the Cannes Film Festival this time, Clint and Hugo are both artists under Rick, and I heard that Rick is still trying to get a contract for Quentin Tarantino's agency, thanks to the good friendship between Hugo and Quentin, this contract is likely to be reached.

But on the whole, Rick's strength is still extremely strong, especially Hugo and Tom, who represent the future, which are indeed fearful, and in addition to Rick, several other partners led by Ali also have two brushes, so that Endeavor Elite Brokerage is indeed enough to make people look sideways.

Therefore, it is not surprising that although the civil strife of the International Jianxin Management Company has not subsided, it still has the intention to suppress the Endeavor Elite Company.

That's why Hugo is so important to the current Endeavour elite company.

Because in the past two months, Endeavour Elite Agency has not had to do anything to Hugo, and Hugo and his new agent Rick have never met again after signing a two-year contract, in addition to the important reason why Hugo is busy with the band, the most important reason is that Hugo's current film career has been on track.

Even though Rick didn't start working on Hugo for the time being, Hugo's good news was still one after another, first the Oscars, then Cannes, and now preparing for the tour, followed by the "...... of life and death", which were all the fruits of Hugo and Joseph's cooperation before, but now it is Endeavor Elite Agency to taste the additional effect of victory - to be precise, stealing the limelight from International Sword New Agency.

For a new company like Endeavor Elite Agency, which has just been established, they have an artist like Hugo, which is not only a persuasion to other agents, but also an attraction to the entire industry; At the same time, it is also a sue to the major production companies: our strength cannot be underestimated.

Among all the artists in Rick's hands, Hugo is undoubtedly the most promising for development, and of course, because the recent timing is the most appropriate, so Rick must work hard to take care of Hugo's work.

"It's a terrible thing, but we're trying to get it on the right track." In the face of Hugo's ridicule, Rick accepted it with a smile, without denial, politeness, or justification, and straightforwardly admitted the "internal chaos", which also showed Rick's wisdom.

Rick looked at Hugo in front of him, he had always looked at Hugo as a bystander before, Hugo is undoubtedly a very potential actor, talented and powerful, and most importantly, willing to work the ground; But as Hugo's agent, the angle is different.

An excellent agent needs to take into account the relationship between collaborators and friends at the same time, and the balance between interests and friendship on the one hand is not so easy to grasp.

"Hugo, what are your plans for the future?" It was the first time Rick had officially fulfilled his duties as an agent in person, and his words were a little more polite and formal than before.

In fact, in the past few weeks, Rick has communicated with Henry and Joseph many times, and during Hugo's stay in Cannes, Rick has been in contact with the local news media in the United States, but today is different. Regardless of the past, everything must change from today onwards in order to have a blueprint for the future under your control. So, Rick didn't come up and tell his calculations at the beginning, but started from scratch.

"Touring, isn't that a matter of course?" Hugo sat down on the sofa, Rick's assistant Jim Snow had already brought in the coffee, and there was a small saucer with two sugar cubes on it, although today was only the first meeting after the change of agents, but it was obvious that Jim had figured out Hugo's preferences.

At the same time, Jim turned his head to look at Joseph and Samora, Joseph didn't care, just said "coffee", but Samora, a person who has high requirements for food, is in trouble, but Samora is not a person without measure, he whispered to Jim, "Give me a cup of hot cocoa first, and some cookies, thank you." ”

Although Rick's eyes have been on Hugo, in fact, many small details have been paid attention to, he has been rolling in this line of work for more than ten years, he knows very well: details determine success or failure, this sentence is absolutely true. Just a little detail, in fact, it can be seen that Hugo, Joseph and Samora usually get along with each other informally, and they get along more with a comfortable friendship.

Therefore, when he spoke again, Rick relaxed a little, and said in a more relaxed tone, "I know about the tour, and I have already confirmed with Henry the promotional schedule of the next 'Life and Death Hour', and it will be sent to Joseph this afternoon at the latest, you can take a look, if there is a problem, I will discuss it with Henry." ”

Rick's style of doing things is very different from his appearance, he seems to be friendly and casual, but he is very organized and focused, and he takes this most complicated problem through in a few words, because he knows that it is not something that Hugo needs to worry about, but that he and Henry's two agents need to consider. After they negotiated a charter, it was enough to hand it over to Joseph, who is currently Hugo's manager, for confirmation, so there was no need for Hugo to know these details.

In fact, the glorious to death tour and the "vulgar" publicity schedule are completely in conflict, but with the concerted efforts of Rick and Henry, a balance has been found, and perhaps a negative situation can be turned into an advantage: for example, relying on the topic of touring to drive the promotion of the film.

After skipping these details, Rick immediately shifted the subject to the point, "I mean, what are your plans for the movie?"

At this time, Hugo also realized that today's meeting with Rick was not just a small talk, but the first step of their cooperation. As the saying goes, a good start is half the battle, so it's really important to meet today. (To be continued [Provided].)
