ads_wz_txt;
Rise of the 403 first dispute.
When Joseph called, Hugo was already ready to rest. After the band arrived in Jacksonville at noon, they experienced a performance in the afternoon and evening. After returning, they practiced for three hours. Everyone was a little tired. Hugo seemed a little bit disappointed when he called.
Hugo called Carl in the morning, and now it has been at least twelve hours before Joseph called back. This is really uncomfortable. But Joseph obviously also knew that he was too late to answer the call. Hugo answered the phone and he just apologized, "Sorry, I'm really sorry. Carl told me this morning, but he never called you back. I'm really sorry."
Joseph didn't make any excuses, but he apologized sincerely. Hugo let out a long sigh, as if venting all the depression in his heart, "Forget it, that's the case when you are busy at work." This is true, Hugo. I also understand that Joseph was very busy recently because of accepting the new artist. Joseph is also in a state of high tension, so it is normal for some omissions. "But seeing you are so busy at work, you know that things are on track recently, and I will remember that you owe me a meal."
"As long as it's not dinner." Joseph heard Hugo say so, and he was relieved and ‘showed’ a smile again.
"How about it, everything is going well these days?" Although Joseph is an agent, he is also a friend. Hugo still hopes that Joseph's career can develop better, so Hugo did not ask "Shawshank" at the beginning. "Salvation", but relaxed chatting with Joseph.
"Huh, I'm so busy that my shoes are about to catch fire." Joseph's voice can be heard tired, but he is more excited. The career can finally see a bright future, which naturally makes people'energetic'. I signed the two newcomers you mentioned last time, Matt Da'Meng and Ben Affleck, but I still need to train first. I'm looking for some TV shows."
Promoting newcomers is the most difficult task. Carl used to find job opportunities for Charlize and Alex; it is the same for Joseph to start an actor career for Matt and Ben. The agent must do everything possible to use the resources in his hand to find opportunities. , Stuff the newcomer actor in.
In fact, if Hugo is now accepting new works, Joseph, in the process of negotiating with the crew, asks Matt or Ben to be included in the movie. Even if it is just a small role, it’s okay. It’s all feasible. Yes, this is also the most limited resource utilization method for big-name brokers. But unfortunately, Hugo went on a road tour.
"In addition, Nick has been selecting scripts recently. I need to constantly discuss and contact with the production company, and also have meetings and discussions with Nick. Oh, I really feel that even the meal time is'wasted'." Although Joseph did not elaborate on the specific things. , But you can feel his prosperous career prospects in just a few words.
But when Hugo heard this, he frowned, "Nick?" He didn't know when Joseph had such an actor, and he was still choosing an actor for the script?
"Nicholas Cage (.cage) Oh, God, didn't I tell you?" Joseph patted his head continuously, "Hugo, I won Nick's brokerage contract at the end of July, I I’m his manager now, and I’ve been busy with his business recently, didn’t I tell you? Really"
Nicholas Cage, this is definitely middle. One of the Hollywood actors most familiar to Chinese audiences. The number of his works introduced into the country over the years is the highest of all actors in Hollywood. He is the Oscar actor, but at the same time he is also known as the king of bad movies. It is called a model worker, but the unevenness of the work is also embarrassing.
Standing at the point of time in 1993, Nicholas has been in the film industry for 13 years, and he has appeared in many works. There are many works in collaboration with many big-name directors. "Honeymoon (hmn.dn.vegas and other works have won him many praises for acting. The film "My Heart is Wild ( directed by David Lynch has won the Cannes Film Festival. The Palme d'Or awards pushed Nicholas' actor career to a new peak.
At present, Nicholas can also be regarded as one of the first-line actors in the circle. Although the box office appeal has not been proven, the overall strength and reputation are very solid and stable, and he has a firm foothold in the first-line ranks. If compared with Hugo, Hugo may have the upper hand in popularity. After all, "Yihai Xiongfeng" and "Sleepless in Seattle" are recent works; but in the eyes of film production companies, Nicholas is undoubtedly more A weighty actor.
Unexpectedly, Nicholas actually signed Joseph. This is also the most successful signing in Joseph's work for more than two years. Hugo can even imagine that with the increasing internal struggle for power in international innovation companies, after Joseph signed Nicholas, he will surely become the target of the company's senior management. Therefore, the number of Joseph's entertainment will certainly rise sharply recently.
Now it seems that Joseph’s "busy" is worthy of the name. No wonder he didn't have time to answer his call, no wonder he was negligent about "Shawshank's salvation"...
Hugo had many thoughts in his head, but he did not say it directly. Instead, he said with a smile, "We haven’t talked on the phone for nearly a month, so I only learned about this news today, but I really want to Congratulations, this is a huge improvement"
But Joseph didn’t hear the irony in Hugo’s words, or he heard it but deliberately ignored it. In short, he also chuckled lightly, saying, "This is just the beginning, and there will be more The long journey requires effort."
Today's Joseph is indeed very different. In the past, he was relatively serious, but today he laughs a lot more than usual, and his tone is much softer than before. There was no contact for a month, but Hugo felt that Joseph's changes were beyond his imagination.
Since Joseph didn’t hear what Hugo said, Hugo temporarily let him go. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still deserves to be congratulated for the progress of his good friend’s career. Therefore, Hugo put the mixed thoughts in his heart. Putting them all aside, finally returning to the key issue, "Frank called me today, and he said he kept calling you, but couldn't contact you, so he contacted me as a last resort."
"Who?" Joseph didn't even react for the first time, which caused Hugo to choke.
"Frank De Labont? "Shawshank's redemption?" Hugo explained with a wry smile.
Joseph laughed awkwardly, "Yes, yes, I know." Joseph finally reacted at this moment, realizing that something went wrong, and he completely forgot about the "Shawshank's salvation", but it was not. Forget it, he did receive Frank's message twice, but there were other things coming just before the call back, and he forgot after he was too busy. Without the secretary’s reminder, Joseph was indeed stretched, "Sorry, Hugo, I'm really sorry."
Hugo originally thought that since Frank called himself, the matter has been resolved, Joseph is indeed very busy recently, and it is understandable, so forget it. But then Hugo thought about it again. He has always regarded Joseph as a friend. In the past year, Joseph has never neglected in his work. But now, Joseph is getting busy, and there will be more and more communication about work in the future. , So he still has to make things clear, this is good for the future cooperation between the two people.
"Joe, I mentioned to you before that I hoped to meet Frank once and have a talk, but you never gave Frank a reply. No matter what your reason is, this is a negligence of your job. It has been nearly a month. During the time, Frank took the initiative to contact you, and could not even contact you. As my agent, this is very irresponsible. I hope you can understand that you are someone else’s agent, but also mine. Agent, there hasn’t been much work on my part recently, so you still have to do it in time.” Hugo didn’t make a loud accusation, but he spoke very directly, without any circumstantial meaning, which made Joseph’s cheeks suddenly hot.
Joseph knew it was his negligence, but he still couldn't help but argued, "Hugo, I just don't think you are so caring about this script, otherwise you would not have contacted me once in the past month, so I just……"
"Joe~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If I don’t care about this script, would I still let you contact Frank? Even if I really want to reject the script, you must also take the initiative to contact Frank to formally convey my thoughts. Isn’t it? Frank couldn’t get in touch with you several times, so I can’t justify it.” On impulse, Hugo almost wanted to say “If this is the case, then what do I want your agent to do”, but He still endured it abruptly. He didn't want to make things more rigid. After all, his previous cooperation with Joseph was very pleasant, and this time it was excusable.
Hugo took two deep breaths, "The script is not the point, the point is your attitude at work. I think you should know this better than me." Hugo's words silenced Joseph, and Joseph also understood his negligence, Hugo's words. Although it is sharp and unpleasant, it is all facts.
The excitement between Joseph's eyebrows also settled, and he rubbed his eyebrows, "I'm sorry, Hugo, it's my responsibility." Joseph also vaguely realized that he had been a little overwhelmed during this time. And this is the most undesirable.
"It's okay." Hugo also suppressed the anger in his chest, trying to stay calm and said, "Frank and I have passed through the gap, he will think about it, and then contact you to see how to modify the script. At that time, you still have to complete the communication."
