"Are you crazy?" Joseph blurted out and looked at Hugo in surprise.

Hugo chuckled, "I've been hearing this a lot lately. It's a pity that Joseph is not in the mood to react to this joke at all, and Hugo laughs even more happily, but he still can't hold back a smile and explain, "You see, you don't have enough confidence in the work of the agent, but I think you are a good agent, we have always worked well before, and I am still lacking a manager, why can't you be in charge?"

Joseph was stunned by Hugo's natural remarks, and he couldn't hold back a rebuttal, "But...... But, uh, you know, I'm an agent. "

"I know, isn't the manager my exclusive agent?" Hugo said with a smile.

Hugo obviously deliberately distorted the concept of manager and agent, but it made sense to explain it this way, and it was difficult for Joseph to refute it, so he could only look at Hugo in amazement.

Hugo was originally just a whim, but the more he thought about it, the more feasible he felt, "You see, if you become a manager, a lot of things will be solved." The conspiracy against you can be stopped, and you can help me deal with the unguardable arrows, and you and Samora can share the work together. ”

"At the same time, the recent poaching invitations can also be temporarily stopped, and the disagreements within the company have nothing to do with you, now look at the innovative artist agency, the forces represented by Marvin Josephson, the forces represented by Rick and Rosen - who else is coming?" Hugo looked at Joseph and thought for a moment, "Oh, yes, forget the forces represented by Lang Yimayer, it depends on the conditions they give, which one is good, and it is in line with us, we will sign a contract with whom." Whether it's a power struggle or a conspiracy, we have the initiative and don't have to worry about the so-called company. ”

"You...... You're really simplifying things. Joseph stuttered a little, not knowing what to say, or his brain hadn't turned at all, and Hugo's change of thinking was too fierce.

Hugo shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "I'm just saying it's a choice." ”

In fact, there is absolutely no problem with Joseph as Hugo's manager. But the most important thing was Joseph's own will.

Hugo will not forget that in July last year, Joseph was ambitious to create a brilliant career as a Zào agent, so he signed Nicolas Cage, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck in one go. Now, although Joseph intends to lie dormant for a while and start over, it does not mean that he has given up, and compared to a manager, an agent is what Joseph has always been pursuing.

Joseph was indeed shocked by Hugo's whim, he had never thought of this aspect before, and the reason why he gave up Nicolas Cage and others was that he felt that his current ability was still not enough, and he needed to continue to polish; chose Hugo, not only because they are friends, but also because Hugo's work is indeed the most familiar and hands-on to him at present, and the two have always worked together very happily before.

But now Joseph is beginning to think carefully about Hugo's construction, in fact, Hugo is right, as an excellent agent, he must be able to perfectly handle the coordination and distribution of the work of various artists under him, and even make reasonable use of the cards in his hand to maximize benefits, for example, Hugo became the starring role of "Life and Death", and by the way, Matt Damon or Ben Affleck was stuffed in, just like Leonardo DiCaprio, who is about to end his role this week.

However, the past eight months have proved Joseph's lack of ability in this regard, which directly led to the misunderstanding and dispute with Hugo, and also indirectly led to the result that Nicolas Cage and others are now seeking another job.

But on the other hand, when Joseph was in charge of Hugo alone, the work was very smooth, and the cooperation mode between the two people was also very positive.

Joseph suddenly realized that Hugo was not just talking about it, and that this proposal was not only feasible, but also highly executable. Joseph is well aware that Hugo has been lacking the help of managers for the past two years, and if the Ballon d'Or wasn't urgent before it broke, it must be on the agenda after the huge success of Sleepless in Seattle. Although Hugo now has Samora as an assistant, which relieves a lot of work pressure, the work of an assistant and a manager is not the same, and Samora is only an eighteen-year-old young man after all, and all the qiē are still learning.

Joseph raised his head and looked at Hugo, frowning slightly at the smile on Hugo's face, "Are you serious?"

"No, if you're still hoping to be a top agent, I'm kidding." Hugo's ridicule made Joseph laugh dumbly, and Hugo himself laughed, "Joe, I'm just saying, it's a choice, of course, we have always had many choices in life, and even every day there are countless choices, different choices will lead to different answers, and none of them is 100% correct." ”

Joseph looked at Hugo with a complicated expression, "Are you willing to trust me?"

Joseph knew very well about Hugo and Uma, so he also knew what a severe blow Ummah's betrayal was to Hugo, and "trust" has always been a problem and a core issue for Hugo. Although Joseph has not betrayed in the past few months, he has indeed betrayed Hugo's trust, which is why he still feels guilty in his heart until now, and he knows deeply how much his actions hurt Hugo.

The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth narrowed slightly, and there was more confusion in his eyes

Would Hugo want to believe Joseph? He wanted to, but he couldn't. If it weren't for Tracy's affair, Hugo would have said so, and maybe he and Joseph would have fought and reconciled at the "Schindler's List" celebration feast, but he couldn't trust Joseph again so quickly.

But in the case of Guò Tracy, Hugo knew that Joseph was not just guilty, nor was he just reviewing, he was just as sad and sad as himself.

People say that "confidants are hard to find" may someone can meet the love of their life, but they will never meet a confidant, trust between friends seems simple, but it is far more difficult than lovers and relatives, because relatives are connected by blood, lovers are connected by love, but friends do not have any direct personal relationship, just rely on righteousness to connect. Therefore, friendships that are truly worth paying a qiē are rare.

Not only Tracy's affairs, but also the recent events in the "Life and Death" crew, including the bits and pieces of their past cooperation, let Hugo know that Joseph is a friend worth trusting. So, he was willing to believe in Joseph again, and he would try to believe in Joseph again.

As for how things will develop this time, time will tell, just as Hugo lent Joseph a million dollars without asking for a reason, trust is actually a gamble, Hugo bets again, then we can only wait for time to give an answer.

"Joe, do you remember? The million dollars you owe me haven't been paid yet. Hugo did not answer Joseph directly, but said with a smile, "If you count the interest, it must be at least one and a half million dollars now." So, I thought, if you were my manager, would I be able to deduct this fee from your salary and take a cut every month and use you as free labor, you know, I have always had no hope that you would pay me back. Perhaps, I can try again and get the money back in this way. ”

Joseph was very helpless about Hugo's ridicule, so he could only answer with a wry smile, "Since you have said so, it seems that I just don't want to do this coolie, and I have to do it." ”

Hugo shrugged, "I'm not a slave owner, I'll give you the freedom to choose." This made Joseph laugh.

Joseph knew that he owed Hugo too much, starting from when Hugo lent him a million dollars, to leading him to the peak of his career, and then to tolerating his mistakes. Perhaps, the word "repayment" should not be used to describe friends, because the righteousness of friends is priceless and can never be measured; But Joseph really thinks so, he should repay Hugo with his practical actions, since righteousness is priceless, then he will repay it with his trust and righteousness

After thinking about it, Joseph suddenly felt that today's originally depressed mood suddenly brightened, if he can serve as Hugo's manager, then many things will be solved, not only Nicolas Cage and others, but also Joseph's doubts and positioning of himself. Perhaps, Joseph can become an outstanding manager, and then watch Hugo step by step to the top, which is where Joseph can really shine.

Originally, Hugo and Joseph's contract ended in April, and now March is almost over, but I didn't expect this matter to end in such a way, and those agents who are eyeing Hugo don't know what kind of attitude they will take to face such a result?

Joseph suddenly found it very interesting, he just changed his position, and the situation changed drastically. Watching Hugo leave the back ready to be filmed, Joseph's mood was more relaxed than ever.

At this time, Samora walked back and waved the clothing catalog in his hand, "Joe, did you tell Hugo about this?" Isn't this in a hurry?"

Joseph immediately grinned and patted his head, the focus of the discussion between the two just now had nothing to do with the clothing catalog, he could only say embarrassedly, "Next break, next time." ”
