As an agent, it is the artist who can really reflect their ability, and the artist's 'outstanding' achievements are their medals, attracting more artists to join them.

Longmayer is very capable, aside from everything else, it can be seen that the ten-year plan for Hugo is just a testament to the development of Lang's artists in recent years, but he has always had an Achilles' heel, that is, he has never had a really top artist.

The so-called top refers to artists such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Julia Roberts, and the most outstanding artist in Lang's hands is Michael Douglas, the Oscar winner four years ago, and this year he relied on a "book." "I can reach new heights." But Lang is still one step away from the top agent, and he lacks a top artist.

As a producer, the real value of the film is naturally the movie, either word-of-mouth or box office, and the more outstanding one has both, which can win them more voice and initiative when dealing with the production company.

Tracy Jacobs is a 'good' producer, and there is no doubt that she has worked with giant film companies such as Universal Pictures, Columbia Pictures, Warner Bros., and Twentieth Century Fox, and has also won a lot of results at the box office and word of mouth.

But in the past three years, Tracy's career has encountered a bottleneck, and the three works in which Hugo starred are all works produced by Tracy, in other words, the failure that Hugo has suffered is actually facing Tracy. It's just that the producer's circle is more tolerant, and Tracy is not a producer who squanders his money, which makes Tracy still retain a good impression in the minds of the production company, but it is not so easy to make a comeback.

Both Ron and Tracy are facing a dilemma, so they need to find a way to break it and reach new heights in their careers. The two of them are currently planning this project, and Hugo doesn't know the ins and outs, but what is certain is that they have the ambition to convince Universal Pictures to invest.

As for Hugo, it can only be said that it is collateral damage. If Ron and Tracy were to win the project, Hugo would have been completely out of the project - if Hugo was interested in it. In the film industry, agents and producers want to ban actors, although it is a little more difficult than film companies, but it is not impossible, in fact, they use their own connections and resources to completely close the projects in their hands to the actor, so the actor's future in the circle is very difficult.

So far, it seems that Ron and Tracy did just that, starting with "Big River Love", including "Ben." Can", as well as the project they are planning this time, plus the "sugar trap" - Hugo strongly suspects that Sidney has not contacted him so far, whether Tracy is playing a role in the back, otherwise it would be too unusual.

In the past year, the 'yin' tricks behind it have finally 'revealed' a corner of the territory, and this can only be said to be the territory of the stage 'sex', the future is uncertain, the greater the achievements of Lang and Tracy, the greater the power in the entertainment industry, the more difficult it will be for Hugo to get ahead, although they have no 'intersection' with each other, but they are completely opposite sides, and there will only be more and no more head-on 'confrontation' in the future - if one side is completely sunk, then it's another matter.

Although Hugo relied on "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the 'Woman'" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" to fight a bloody way, break through the blockade of Lang and Tracy, and achieve the current results, the future is still uncertain. For example, "Sleepless in Seattle" was invested by Samsung Pictures, a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures, and who knows if Tracy's influence was strong enough to influence Samsung Pictures' decision. After all, "Sleepless in Seattle" is not a big project, it is just a small project investment, and the influence of connections will naturally have more room to play.

However, it can now be seen that Lang has been shaken by the rise of Hugo, and if Hugo is willing to join Lang, he may find a crack in the alliance between Lang and Tracy, and may even quickly ascend to the throne in the attitude of riding a rocket. But would Hugo do it? Absolutely not! This is non-negotiable.

Victor Hugo once said, "I would rather open my future by my own strength than seek the favor of the powerful." "That's what Hugo had in mind.

What's more, although he and Joseph have only been partners for a year and have stumbled along the way, Joseph is still young and immature, but the friendship between the two is priceless. Hugo is willing to stick to this friendship in this money-oriented, cruel and cold society.

Joseph came back with the fruit, and he had just been delayed by the fact that he had met several partners of the company under the introduction of Rick Rosen.

In a brokerage firm, becoming a partner means taking a step up to the sky and becoming the owner of the company, and every agent has such an opportunity, and both Longmaire and Rick Rosen have been promoted from an ordinary agent to a partner. And Joseph, relying on Hugo's strong performance this year, entered the attention of partners for the first time, although it is only a potential stock at present, but this still makes Joseph feel infinitely encouraged.

It is not surprising that Joseph walked back with brisk steps, but did not see Hugo in the spotlight, since Hugo was the focus of today's luncheon. Joseph stood in place and searched around, and then saw Hugo and Gary talking. Joseph lifted his feet and was about to walk over, but unexpectedly stopped because of two gossip next to him.

"Lang chatted with Hugo just now, did you see that?"

"Nonsense, Lang must have tried to convince Hugo to come back. Cut, he has this ability, thinking about getting something for nothing every day, and even digging into the corners of his colleagues in the company. ”

"Maybe Hugo wanted to go back a long time ago. Lang and Joseph are compared, and anyone can see the gap at a glance, hasn't Hugo been pestering Lang before. ”

"That's true, in fact, Hugo's good results this year are all on his own, and Joseph didn't contribute anything." Smelling the fragrance and knowing the 'female' people is a group audition, with no technical content; 'Yihai Xiongfeng' was introduced by Goodman, and it didn't rely on Joseph to win the horn in the end, nor did Hugo himself be powerful, and the salary was pitifully low. ”

"Cut, you're jealous, Joseph is lucky, what can you do......"

The next words were the two of them teasing each other, but Joseph's footsteps stopped, and his heart turned upside down. Lang actually came to Hugo again! But...... It's not unexpected, is it? Lang was originally a guy who was good at drilling, and when he saw that Hugo's development was blocked, he transferred Hugo's contract to himself, and now that Hugo has risen again, he naturally wants to sign it back. Only, will Hugo agree?

If it had been a year ago, there would have been no need to ask Hugo, Joseph would have known the answer, and Hugo would have been eager to sign the contract with Lang; But now...... Joseph hesitated, in fact, he wanted to believe in Hugo, this year of getting along, Joseph has seen Hugo's great changes, and he also believes that Hugo has been reborn, not to mention, the two of them have worked hard all the way, although they have not experienced any strong winds and waves, but they have gone through many setbacks and difficulties to the present, Joseph is willing to believe Hugo. But......

However, now that Hugo has achieved such good results, from an objective standpoint, Lang's hardware conditions and software conditions are better than his own, if Hugo wants to go to the next level, it is definitely a wise choice to join forces with Lang, and he, even the audition for the "sugar-coated trap" has not been knocked down until now, every time he calls Sidney, the assistant answers the phone, and so far he has only talked to Sidney once, and the result is no progress. Any smart person knows how to choose

This is a fact, and this fact makes Joseph a little dismayed.

Joseph stood in place, watching Hugo and Gary smiling and talking harmoniously, and his originally excited face gradually stiffened. I don't know when, Hugo came over again and greeted him with a smile, "Hey, you're here, where did you just go?" It's so long to take a fruit. ”

Joseph looked at the smile on Hugo's face, and he wanted to ask Hugo directly if he had talked to Lang and what he talked about, but he didn't know how to speak, and finally he could only cautiously tentatively say, "I met a partner, and we chatted." What about you, what were you doing here just now, I'm sure you're not going to be bored today. ”

Hugo originally wanted to tell Sù Joseph about Lang, but if you think about it carefully, now is not the right occasion, gossip is rampant in the entertainment industry, and there are definitely a lot of things that have ears on the wall, not to mention that there is no wall here, so Hugo made up his mind and said it after he went back, so the words became when he came to his mouth, "It's not just a polite chat, it's not interesting." ”

When Joseph heard Hugo's answer, his face darkened: Hugo didn't tell the truth, he didn't even mention Lang's matter. Joseph wanted to believe Hugo, but at this point in time, it seemed to be very difficult.

In fact, Joseph is not angry, people go to high places and water flows to low places, this is the theorem, it is absolutely wise to choose a senior agent like Lang, and this is the case from a rational standpoint. And such things are not uncommon in the entertainment industry, as if Carl has not kept any artists by his side so far. In addition to relying on a sentiment, the new generation of agents is indispensable to retain artists, and Joseph knows that he still has too many shortcomings.

Therefore, Joseph was more frustrated and discouraged, which made his feelings unable to rise. Hugo was smiling and saying something in front of him, but Joseph was in and out of his left ear, and he couldn't hear what Hugo was saying until Rick's thin figure appeared in his lowered sight, and he realized that he had just wandered and didn't know what was going on.

Then Joseph heard Rick laugh and say, "Go and sit in my office, I've got a New Year's gift for you." ”
