Make a comeback with 410 chips for two
Make a comeback with 410 two chips. There is a reason why Lang is so confident. First of all, he knew that "The Shawshank Redemption" was the project that Hugo wanted to get, so he did what he liked and guaranteed to be able to pull teeth from Tim Robbins, which was enough to make Hugo's heart move; Secondly, in the early 90s, a group of action superstars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone brought up a commercial action frenzy, which also made action movies an important step for actors to ascend to the sky, and no one could refuse such a 'temptation'. 'Confused'.
Hugo knew that Lang's two chips were indeed very 'tempting'. Man, very few people can refuse, even he. But Hugo also knew that Lang must have asked for something when he said that the sky was "flowering" and "chaotic" at this time, and as for whether the project could be negotiated, it was not Lang who made the final decision. In short, Lang is now drawing a big pie, but whether the big pie can eat into Hugo's stomach or not depends on Hugo's ability - and the decision of the production company.
Therefore, even though Hugo felt his heart beating wildly, he still forced himself to calm down, he clenched his right hand tightly in his pocket, and then looked at Lang, "Even if your chips are weighty, what you are pursuing is not something I can afford." In fact, this is a refusal, and this is also the second time in a row that Hugo refused without giving Lang room to turn around.
Re-working with Lang is, in Hugo's view, seeking skin with the tiger, which is not much different from working with Tracy, but Hugo is unwilling to rely on the strength of others to seek the future, because in the final analysis, it is still up to himself. What's more, Joseph is an agent and a friend at the same time, Hugo doesn't think he will choose to betray his friend, even if Joseph only made a mistake not long ago, he is still his friend.
"Hugo, you're thinking too much." Lang looked at the resoluteness in Hugo's eyes, and he knew that Hugo was a hard bone and not so easy to gnaw down, so he decided to take a half step back, "What do you think I want to pursue?" Not what you think. Lang hurriedly took half a step back, raised his hands, calmed his anxious temper a little, and then said, "I'm an agent, and what I'm pursuing is 'pumping'." I'm going to come to you, just think these two projects are right for you, and if you reach a cooperation through my hands, then the 'draw' is for me, even if there is no contract between us, you can still 'draw' according to the company's contract. Other than that, I don't have much else in mind. ”
Lang decided not to mention letting Hugo tear up the brokerage contract with Joseph for the time being, and temporarily use these two 'baits' to reach a cooperation with Hugo, at least to ease the relationship. Moreover, if you work together on two big projects by yourself, even if Hugo is still not an actor under him, it will also be of great benefit to your position in the company - any agent who can bring income to the company is welcome.
Hugo was a little surprised, he didn't expect Lang to say this, although he didn't know why Lang chose to take half a step back, after all, Hugo only knew a little about the relationship between the interests of the brokerage company; But Hugo can be sure of one thing, that is, Lang is willing to fly to Philadelphia himself, and he still extends an olive branch to himself, and this interest must be large enough.
Although Hugo didn't know that Tracy had temporarily abandoned Lang, and he didn't know how strict the current struggle for power within the company was, he knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch.
Lang noticed that Hugo's footsteps had stopped-although it was because he was directly blocked in front of Hugo, but he could still find that Hugo's brain was obviously starting to function, so Lang immediately saw the stitches 'insert', "In addition to 'Shawshank Redemption', another item is called 'Speed of Life and Death'." ”
Lang is using all his time to show his chips to Hugo, which is also the biggest way to shake Hugo's heart," Quentin Tarantino (Queino), Renny Haring (Renny) at the moment. Harli) is a director candidate. ”
The biggest thing these three directors have in common is that they have their own understanding of action movies, Quentin relied on a "Reservs" last year, Rainey's most famous work is "Die Hard 2", Jane does not have any directorial works at present, but as a cinematographer, she is in "Ben". He can be seen in works such as "Die Hard", and "Lethal Weapon 3". It is worth mentioning that Rainey once worked with Hugo on the scolding "Detective".
"The 'female' protagonist is in Halle Berry. berry) and Sandra Bullock. Hallie is a newcomer at the moment, but her partnership with Eddie Murphy in "Mood Stealing (B)" has won a lot of praise; The same goes for Sandra, whose partnership with Sylvester Stallone has earned her a place in the circle, "In terms of leading actors, Johnny Depp, Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, and Tom Hanks are all alternates. ”
Lang said a lot in one breath, in fact, he was rendering the importance of the work "Speed of Life and Death", and Twentieth Century Fox invested 30 million to create this action movie, which obviously took a lot of "effort". After finishing speaking, Lang couldn't help but feel a little short of breath and began to breathe rapidly, sure enough, smoking for many years has an effect on lung capacity.
Unfortunately, Hugo didn't seem to be listening at all, which made Langpo a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect Hugo to react like this.
In fact, Hugo really didn't listen, he already knew this work when he heard "The Speed of Life and Death", this movie can also be regarded as one of the best works in 1994, which became popular Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock, and also won technical awards at the Oscars that year, the most important thing is that it has been a huge success at the box office, and it has also won unanimous praise in terms of word-of-mouth.
Since Hugo crossed, the works that Hugo has come into contact with during this time are actually good works, and he has not encountered the so-called "bad movies" in the real sense at all, mainly because in the past few years around 1994, Hollywood has entered a blowout period, and the only difference may be the size of the impact.
is like the work "Life and Death", although it is impossible to win an acting award, but the huge success of the box office also continues the ability of action movies to make stars, and the two protagonists Keanu and Sandra touched the edge of the line overnight. During this time, overnight success was not a problem at all in Hollywood, and opportunities were everywhere.
Of course, duds like "Hudson's Eagle" and "Detective" are also in existence, and actors still have to be vigilant and don't be 'fascinated' and 'spent' by Hollywood's singing and dancing.
Although Hugo still doesn't have any good feelings for Lang, he still has to admit Lang's ability to work - this Hugo has never denied, and Lang came to Philadelphia with the two works "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Speed of Life and Death", so to speak, holding a huge bargaining chip, almost holding Hugo's posture that he had no power to fight back.
But it's a pity that Hugo still has no intention of cooperating with Lang, crossing the river and demolishing bridges, unloading mills and killing donkeys is a common thing for Lang, he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and he doesn't allow himself to betray his friends.
"Lang, you're smart guy, you know what an actor wants, so you're a successful agent." Hugo looked at Lang who was constantly panting and said with a smile, which made Lang's expression light up, Hugo was releasing a positive signal, but then Hugo continued, "But I already have a 'good' agent, so I think I can't provide what you want to 'trade' with the chips in your hand." ”
Lang's brows furrowed suddenly, his first reaction was to lose his temper, but there was still a voice shouting in his heart: this was not the time to lose his temper, so he forced himself to calm down, "Hugo, I didn't ask for anything, I just provided two projects, I am a middleman, not an agent." ”
"Is that really the case? You and I are no longer children. "If it was Rick or Carl who came to me today, Hugo would have liked to believe it, but if it was Lang, it wouldn't have been possible. Because this statement only applies to friends, and it must be between friends who have a good relationship, there will be this kind of "Dagong has no 'selfish'" approach, obviously Lang and Hugo cannot be regarded as friends at all.
Looking at the gentle smile on Hugo's face, Lang felt extremely ironic, and suddenly the nameless fire jumped up, and he couldn't hold back anymore, "Hugo-Lancaster!" What a good agent I am, you should know very well that Joseph's unruly 'color' simply won't bring you more work. I took the initiative to come to Philadelphia, I just don't want you to be ruined in the hands of Joseph, you don't want to be ignorant of my sincerity, you know, without my help, just rely on Joseph, you are at the current level, there is no better future at all! ”
Sure enough, Lang's temper was his fatal wound, and it was quickly leaked. In the face of Lang's anger, Hugo was more accustomed to it, and he smiled calmly, "I didn't know that the agent had the ability to predict the future, did you ever get the heavenly instructions of the wizard in the tribe?" ”
Hugo's ridicule completely made Lang lose his mind, and the foul words exploded directly, "Who the fuck do you think you are, you are that piece of shit, there will never be a way to do it!" Looking at such a damn good opportunity, but not knowing how to grasp it, who do you think you are, a unique benchmark in Hollywood? Phew! Don't pretend to be 'forced' self-righteously, otherwise the result will be a group of strong men. Wheel. 'Adultery'. What else do you have capable of other than selling your ass to 'female' people? ”
Facing Lang like a mad dog, Hugo didn't bite back like a dog, but left straight forward, leaving Lang alone in the open space and scolding. Then, as the scolding gradually quieted down, Lang stood in the clearing, gasping for breath, and kicked the stones in front of him fiercely, looking at Hugo's back viciously, his face was 'pale' and 'cloudy'.
Hugo Lancaster, I'm waiting to see what happens to you!
