The comeback 422 last scruples.

Hugo didn't respond to Alfonso immediately, but thought for a moment, "Neil, I think you've misplaced the focus. Now we're thinking about agents, not record labels. ”

Hugo's words made Neil and Alfonso react, "Purely from the perspective of record companies, in fact, EMI is already the most suitable for our style among the large record companies, and they also have many independent records, who knows that we will end up signing in that record department." ”

Independent record labels and big record labels have their own advantages and disadvantages, but if you choose between the five major record labels, EMI Records is indeed the most suitable for glory to death.

"But I think that since Henry was able to consider for us, he chose Momoyo, whether we can sign a contract with Moyo or not, it shows that Henry as an agent has indeed considered it from our point of view." Hugo still attaches the most importance to this, "Whether it is signing with a major record company or cooperating with an independent record label, in fact, the agent is willing to stand on our side and fight for more freedom for us, which is the most important thing."

When they were in Memphis, the most important reason why the band rejected Henry was that they were worried that the band's style would be restricted by the record company, and they didn't want to be tied down by the big record companies, so the agent's role in the communication between the band and the company was very important. Looking at it now, first of all, EMI Records has an advantage, and Henry has said the most important thing in the heart of the band, which is naturally the biggest thing that shakes the minds of the band members

In addition, part of the reason why the band rejected Henry at the beginning was because the band was too short to be established, its strength was not yet mature, and the road tour was not over, so there was no need to rush for a while. But now that the band has improved a lot, and the band members agree that the road tour should be completed as planned, there is an internal agreement.

After all things considered, the obstacles to Glory to Death and Henry Bloom's signing were indeed removed. Looking at the expressions of the band members, Hugo knew that Henry was really well prepared, quickly and accurately grasped the most important part of the band members' hearts, and succeeded in one fell swoop.

Of course, it can also be seen from here that Henry has enough sincerity when he looks at the thatched house three times; Second, he does have a deep understanding of the band, and just signing a newcomer band in the future has 'spent' so much effort, and the sincerity is obvious.

Hugo can't deny, including himself, was also led by Henry's nose, because that's what the band really thought.

"However, he asked for a ten-year contract...... "Neil really kept his senses, and said hesitantly, he didn't really know much about the system of broker contracts in the circle, and he had to turn to Hugo for help in this regard.

Hugo pouted, "Joe and I signed a two-year contract. ”

In fact, most of the contracts between agents and artists in the circle are made by artists, because agents are intermediaries hired by artists, so the initiative to terminate the contract is in the hands of artists. Of course, a big-name agent like Lang actually has the ability to terminate the contract, but the agent will not do this, because the artist is in his hands, he will arrange a job if he has a job, and he will put it aside if there is no job, and he doesn't need him to pay the artist's living expenses anyway.

When he was a rookie, for example, when Carl had just signed Charlize, Charlize went to take acting classes to prepare for becoming an actor, and even found a living apartment, which is why newcomers like to sign with large agencies, although their 'pump' is very high, but the service is also in place.

Therefore, a request like Henry's ten-year contract, ten times the liquidated damages, and the initiative to terminate the contract is in the hands of the agent, this is an impossible thing. Among the three conditions, the third is absolutely impossible, and the initiative to terminate the contract is always in the hands of the artist; The first condition is too long, and it must be renegotiated; As for the second condition, although it is terrifying, there is a precedent.

The most important thing is that what can be seen from Henry's request, Hugo's previous conjecture has been confirmed, if Henry really worked with Maria Kelly, then Maria has abandoned Henry and let all Henry's hard work go down the drain. So Henry has been decadent for more than a year in the past year, and this time he took a fancy to the glory to death and spent so much time to investigate, confirming that the band is not like the type of white-eyed wolf, on the contrary, the band is a very principled type of love and righteousness, but even so, in order to avoid the band being "spent" by the colorful "color" and "fan" of the entertainment industry in the future, Henry still put forward such a harsh request. Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope, which is about what it means.

Hugo looked at the look of anticipation in the hesitation of his teammates, and he said, "The most important thing is that you have forgotten, we haven't verified Henry's identity yet, I'll make a call." "This time there can be no further hesitation, Henry has already revealed all the hole cards, and the next step is the order of glory to death to give a response.

Hugo stood up and went to the guitar case to look for his phone, and he noticed Alfonso's eyes moving with him, apparently Alfonso was worried about Hugo's phone call with Joseph. Hugo looked at his phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed Joseph's office number, but to Hugo's disappointment, it was Anna who answered the phone. Anna said that Joseph and Nicolas Cage had gone to Columbia Pictures to talk about the project.

After hanging up the phone, Hugo did not dial Joseph's mobile phone number again, but made a call to Carl's landline, and Hugo was not polite, and directly asked, "Carl, is there no contact between the 'door' of your film department and the 'door' of the music department?" ”

"Yes, the 'door' of the music department has nothing to do with us, and we probably don't know each other when we meet." Karl replied in the affirmative, "These are two separate divisions, and it is difficult for us to have an 'intersection'. However, an agent of Rick's level has something to do with the music department's 'door', and sometimes the movie's theme song and soundtrack need to be packaged, so he will communicate with the music department'. But generally speaking, agents like me and Joe don't have singers under them. ”

Carr's answer was very detailed and confirmed Henry's statement, "Can you help me inquire about a music agent named Henry Bloom?" You know, the band and I were on tour, and he approached us and offered to sign on. But he didn't recognize me, so we were always worried that something was wrong. Hugo briefly explained the situation.

"Henry Bloom? It's a familiar name,...... Carl said, and then got up from his chair at the same time, and walked to the desk with a computer next to him, although the office computers are still relatively scarce, and there is no network, but people have begun to use computers for work, and they can simply look up some information in the computer database, "You wait, I'm looking up now." ”

Carl typed the name on the computer screen, then pressed enter, and soon the message was presented line by line, "Oh, Henry Bloom is, he is our company's agent, I will say how the name is so familiar, he is Maria Kelly's agent." "Maria has been popular all over the United States in the past two years, naturally everyone knows it, the reason why Henry doesn't know Hugo, in fact, is because Hugo has only turned over in the past half a year, and he has been far away from the film circle in Memphis, so he doesn't know," Yes, after Maria released two albums and achieved great success, the third album was still in the process of filing, and she turned her face with Henry, she directly fired Henry, and then signed a contract with another agent of the company, that incident was very unpleasant, don't you remember? At that time, Lang also mixed in......"

Carl said the back, and his voice automatically weakened, but Hugo didn't mention Carl's work with Lang at all, "I know, so it seems that this should be the real Henry." "Although further verification is needed, a series of recent statements by Henry have proved the true 'nature' of the matter.

"So, your band is ready to sign a contract?" Karl straightened up again and returned to his desk.

'We still need to discuss and Henry wants to sign for 10 years, you know it's not possible. After receiving the confirmation news, Hugo also relaxed and briefly chatted with Carl.

Carlton was stunned, obviously frightened by the "ten years" period, "This is not an overlord contract, of course it can't be." I think Henry should be sad because of Maria, Maria was completely pulled up by Henry, but they went through the hardest years, and when Maria's career was successful, they kicked Henry aside......"

Although Karl was talking about Maria and Henry, as he spoke, Joseph's recent situation came to his mind, and he was suddenly embarrassed again, and he didn't know whether he should continue to talk about it. "So...... Have you been in contact with Joe lately? I heard that he has recently started reading scripts again, and it seems that he is planning to pick a good work for you. ”

Hugo shrugged, "I just called him, and it was Anna who answered and said he was going to Columbia Pictures with Cage. "It's Columbia Pictures again.

Carl didn't know how to answer, so he could only change the subject, "If he knew that your band could sign a contract, he would definitely be very happy." ”

"I have to go first, my teammates are still waiting for me." Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth, didn't say anything more, and then hung up the phone after expressing his gratitude to Carl.

Carl took the telephone receiver and sighed helplessly, looking at the original Joseph's office position has become a corner where everyone stacks up clutter, now although Joseph is still working on the seventeenth floor, he is not in the work cubicle, but has his own independent office, and it is even rumored that the company intends to let him go to the twenty-second floor, and I don't know how much real 'sex'.

On the other hand, after Hugo hung up the phone, he turned to face his teammates, looked at everyone's expectant and nervous expressions, and made an "ok" gesture with a smile, and everyone happily shook their fists in celebration in an instant.
