The great joy came suddenly, the brain fell into a blank in an instant, and the extreme sense of happiness instantly submerged Hugo, although just now when he was creating the song "Second Chance", Hugo strengthened his confidence to continue to move steadily on this road, but at this moment, the ignorance, apprehension, and uneasiness after the crossing were still swallowed up by this good news, and his heart was filled with cheerful beating pleasure, and even made him feel suffocated.

Hugo couldn't help clenching his fists, and let out a low roar from the depths of his throat, this is not an explosive shout released outward, but more like a mastiff roaring in the midst of accumulation, all the energy is conceived in the chest, even if it does not burst out, it still has a power to be reckoned with.

The shaved nails were sunk into the palms of the palms because they were too hard, and the green tendons penetrated the surface of the skin to expose, and even the bones were trembling slightly. This small tingling sensation made Hugo feel so real, but the remaining shred of reason still made Hugo suppress his joy and raised his head to look at Joseph, "You mean, I, Hugo Lancaster, got the role of Charlie in 'Smelling Woman'?" ”

Not long ago, the scene of the oolong at the Golden Raspberry Award ceremony, Hugo still remembers it, and he must confirm it again.

On Joseph's slightly stiff face, from the tips of his eyebrows, under his eyes to the corners of his mouth, you can clearly see the turbulence in his heart, and he is not weaker than Hugo at all, and he squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Yes!" But his voice was indistinct because of the hoarseness of his voice, and Joseph simply nodded his head in the affirmative.

"Yay!" The energy that Hugo had been reverberating in his chest turned into a low roar, which freely vented the surging emotions in his heart, and he succeeded, he relied on his own efforts to take the first step, won the opportunity to play against Al Pacino, and won a chance to show himself!

This is indeed hard-won, putting aside the influence of Tracy's unspoken rules, it is not so simple to say that the crew of "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" has to make this decision. You must know that Hugo has messed up three films in a row before this, although there are great objective reasons, but people will always be habitually blamed on the leading actor for the reasons for the failure, not to mention that Hugo's three works were nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award, which also shows that Hugo is indeed responsible for the failure of the film.

Moreover, the failure of these three films is not only a bad reputation, but also a failure at the box office, which also makes Hugo's "actor value" plummet, even if there is an excellent "Dead Poets Society", it is difficult for the producer to vote for him again.

Under such circumstances, the crew of "Smelling Fragrance and Knowing Women" is still under tremendous pressure and decided to use Hugo, this courage can be called the grace of knowing the encounter!

In fact, the "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" crew is not in a very good situation now, and the situation of the actor Al Pacino is far from being as good as it was at his peak, but his acting strength still has enough capital to make Universal Pictures trust; At the same time, the script of this work itself is not a genre with box office appeal, which makes Universal Pictures extra cautious when making investment filings. Now, with the addition of Hugo Lancaster, it is foreseeable that the news media will definitely not have much of a positive opinion about the prospect of "smelling a woman".

But no matter what, Hugo got the "first" role invitation in his life, putting aside his previous experience, whether it was the bad of "Hudson's Eagle" or the praise of "Dead Poets Society", "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" will become Hugo's new www.biquge.info and start his journey as an actor.

Hugo excitedly took two steps and then gave Joseph a big hug. If it weren't for Joseph's maneuver and hard work, it is estimated that Hugo would not even have been able to get the opportunity to audition. Joseph is not only Hugo's agent, but also the first person he met after crossing over, and the first person who is willing to help him, which Hugo firmly remembers.

Joseph only felt Hugo hug him suddenly, and then said with a hearty smile, "Thank you, thank you really." This made Joseph a little unaccustomed, and during the year he took over Hugo, Hugo had always distrusted himself, because he did not believe in his own ability. Hugo is still more willing to ask Lang's opinion than himself, and the Golden Raspberry Award is the most obvious example.

But in recent times, Hugo has not only begun to work hard, but also has a noticeable increase in his trust in himself, although Joseph will not be grateful, but it is undeniable that it is absolutely beneficial for him to start his own work, and it is also a huge affirmation for a novice agent.

However, Joseph is not the kind of person who is used to expressing his feelings, looking at Hugo who let go of himself with a smile on his face, his bright amber eyes were full of joy, which made him a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't help avoiding Hugo's excited gaze, and coughed lightly, "This is just the beginning, and the next shooting process is the hardest." ”

Hugo nodded vigorously and said with a smile on his face, "I know." There was a lot of longing and confidence in that smile.

Joseph only woke up from the joy of Hugo's successful audition at this time, and remembered an important question, "Hugo, just now the crew called and said that since Charlie is only a supporting role in this movie, and in view of your situation, your salary is only half a million dollars." What are your thoughts? ”

Audition director Alan Lewis specifically mentioned this matter on the phone just now, but Joseph couldn't figure out Hugo's thoughts, so he didn't agree directly, but said that he would call back later. Joseph, as the agent, can only give Hugo advice, and the final decision is still made by the actor himself.

Half a million dollars? Hugo was stunned when he heard this number, how much yuan is this? Hugo doesn't know how this exchange rate is calculated now, but in 2014, it was at least 3 million yuan! There is an income of 3 million yuan for starring in a movie, which is really amazing. I used to read the news that a certain actor would be 10 million yuan for a movie, but that was someone else's business, but at this time, this salary belonged to Hugo, which really made Hugo speechless: Is this money making money too fast?

Hugo's stunned look was hesitant in Joseph's eyes, and Joseph secretly screamed in his heart: Could it be that Hugo is going to make a mess again?

"Hugo, here's the thing, 'Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman' is not a high-budget production in the first place, naturally it can't be compared with the 'Hudson's Eagle', besides, the real protagonist of this movie is Pacino, his salary must account for the majority, you as a supporting role, there is no way to reduce the salary. I think you should take this work, it's an opportunity, an opportunity for you to find your way again, the salary is only part of the factor, you don't just focus on it. ”

Joseph tried hard to persuade him, and this was also the longest thing he had said to Hugo since the Golden Raspberry Awards. When Hugo reacted, he immediately realized that Joseph must have misunderstood. Really......

"If you insist on a salary of more than five million dollars, it is estimated that it will be very difficult to find a new work." Joseph continued to persuade, even at the expense of using such direct words to bring Hugo to his senses.

Hugo couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that his predecessor actually had such a high value, more than 5 million for a movie, but he was still complacent here because of the salary of 500,000 US dollars, and he was really a frog at the bottom of the well.

"Joseph, do I have any reason for refusing?" Hugo interrupted Joseph's words and said with a smile.

"Of course, innumerable, excellent scripts, Al-Pacino, the appreciation of the crew......" Joseph crackled as he counted it, but halfway through he realized that he had misheard, "You mean, you're going to accept this proposal?" He just heard "I have some reason to accept", but looking at Hugo's expression, he felt that his expression and words did not match.

"Yes, I'm going to accept the proposal." Hugo nodded and gave an affirmative answer, "I have no reason to refuse, do I?" "The crew is willing to take the risk of hiring themselves at this juncture, and if you pick and choose, it will be to push the opportunity to come to the door out. What's more, for Hugo, the amount of salary is not the most important factor, he does not have the burden of "five million dollars salary", and the opportunity brought by the movie "Smell the Fragrance and Know the Woman" is the most important.

Joseph looked at the smile on Hugo's face and cast a confirmed look again, Hugo couldn't help but smile, nodded vigorously and gave an affirmative answer. Only then did Joseph breathe a sigh of relief, and his mood became relaxed, "Regarding the salary, I will be in the circle, don't worry." After saying that, Joseph also felt that he had made a little fuss just now.

Hugo's performance has been very good during this time, if Hugo is unwilling, it is estimated that when he heard that the work "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women" was only a supporting role, he directly refused to audition; Or seeing the grand occasion of the public interview, which was an insult to Hugo, who used to be the protagonist, so those people came to provoke him, but Hugo still participated in the audition and went all out. Thinking of this, Joseph knew that Hugo was indeed different now.

"After all, there's 10 percent of my commission, and I have to work hard." Joseph made a little joke and tried to relieve himself of his embarrassment.

Ten percent? When Hugo heard this ratio, his eyes immediately widened, that was 50,000 dollars! Joseph's commission is too high, although Hugo doesn't know how the Hollywood agency industry works, but this commission is really high, "You don't look like an agent with the ability to take 10 percent." Hugo directly teased.

Joseph directly gave Hugo a roll of his eyes, "This is not my ability, but the company's ability." ”
