Superstar

Chapter 723: Belittle oneself

Although Joseph was able to calm down when facing Karl, Joseph did not have the ability to quibble in the face of Hugo. I have to say that Joseph let out a long sigh of relief. The knot that had been tightly grasped finally loosened at this moment, and then slowly eased away, as if a big rock in his heart finally fell, all over his body. A lot easier.

Hugo looked at Joseph whose eyebrows were stretched out in front of him. He could even hear the crunch of a rock falling on Joseph's shoulder. This made Hugo a little easier. If friendship needs to be maintained by guilt and apology, then real friendship will sooner or later. Quietly disappeared in the temper of time, and finally drifted away. In fact, it is not only friendship, but any relationship is like this. Love and family affection are also included. Relying on negative emotions to support it is all impossible.

The so-called forgiveness and forgiveness are not just letting go of each other, but also letting oneself go, which probably means this.

"So, what are you going to do about Joe, Cage, Damon, and Affleck?" Hugo directly said the core of the problem without covering up. During the recent period, Joseph only took care of Hugo. Ignore my own business, and now I have fallen into a precarious situation. This is not a good sign.

Joseph looked at Hugo annoyed, and muttered, "I told him not to say it."

"You can't blame Superman." Hugo knew immediately that Joseph was talking about Karl. If Karl hadn't told him about it, Hugo still didn't understand the situation. "He was worried about you. On the contrary, I'm glad he told him. Me, because I don’t want to be the one who caused your career to fail, I won’t make your previous mistakes again."

Hugo's relaxed ridicule made Joseph laugh helplessly. He knew that Hugo was joking. This incident was completely different from the previous ones. Although Joseph has been busy with Hugo's affairs recently, it is all. It was his own choice and had no connection with Hugo, so naturally it cannot be said that Hugo ruined Joseph's career. On the contrary, Joseph's career was accomplished by Hugo.

Joseph smiled and shook his head, "Don't feel too good about yourself. The reason why I didn't deal with this..." At this point, Joseph paused. He also hesitated whether to tell Hugo or not, because He is also not quite sure about his thoughts, "That's because... I have actually been thinking about whether I am not suitable to be an agent."

Hugo never expected Joseph's answer like this, and the astonishment on his face was directly expressed, "Uh, what?"

"You heard what I said." After saying it, Joseph chuckled, not heavy or sad, with a lighthearted expression. "You know, before taking over you, I can only be regarded as As an intern, my experience is even more shallow than that of Superman. I don’t have any knowledge or ability in the brokerage industry. Many brokers are from assistants, or have worked hard with senior brokers, but I have not experienced any of these parts, I just studied with Lang for a few months, but the so-called learning, you should know Lang..."

At this point, Joseph and Hugo both smiled at each other.

"You are my first artist. To be honest, when I first took over you, the only thing I learned was to clean up the mess for you, but the reporters didn’t listen to me, and I didn’t know how to use the media. It was because the media led the nose to go, and things got worse and worse." Joseph recalled that period in 1991, it was really horrible, but now, he can smile and talk about that memory, which is how it grows. One kind.

Joseph paused for a moment. Thinking back to that period, he did feel a lot of emotions. In a blink of an eye, three years passed. He now has his own understanding of the work of an agent, but because of this, it is Joseph thinks more, maybe, he really is not a good agent.

"You know, I made almost all possible mistakes in my job as an agent." Joseph said here with a bit more bitter smile. No one can face his mistakes so calmly. This is not one. It’s an easy thing, "I don’t have any ability to fight back against reporters, making things even more terrifying; being late on the first day of filming on the crew caused you to fall into a dilemma; when faced with the provocation of reporters, I was helpless, and finally I had to take care of you. It's a mess..."

Listening to Joseph's words, Hugo wanted to deny it. This time, it was Joseph who stopped Hugo. Instead, he continued with a wry smile, which made Hugo feel a sense of powerlessness.

"Faced with Tracy and Lang's conspiracy, I couldn't think of an effective solution. First, "Sugar Coated Trap" and then "Death End", one work was missed, and it was completely passively beaten. "Joseph felt very helpless when he said this. If it is now, Joseph has countless ways to deal with the original plans of Tracy, Lang, and Martin. It is absolutely impossible to bring things to a deadlock. On the contrary, they can even fight back. However, this is just an "if".

Joseph deeply felt the painful price he paid as an agent in the process of growing up, and this is why he doubted himself one by one because the tuition fee is too expensive and heavy, "but the problem is, At that time, I didn’t realize the seriousness of the problem. After I succeeded, I lost my mind and missed the “Shawshank’s salvation”. The error was entirely mine. The misunderstandings we had afterwards were also because my arrogance controlled the whole situation. It can be said, yes, that's it, I messed up everything. "

"But, Joe, you can't look at the problem like this." Hugo finally found the gap and interjected. "Any mistake has many reasons. You said you didn't deal with the problem properly. Could it be that I performed well? See Look at the terrible way I dealt with provocations by reporters. Oh, God, I think it’s incredible now when I think about it." Hugo said seriously, "We are all growing up. The Hollywood circle is too complicated. No one is a genius. As soon as you come in here, you can be both sides and exquisite. This is all you need to learn."

Hugo really feels deeply about this. When he crossed over to Los Angeles, things were too weird. One day ago, he was still a young boy who was going to participate in the Midi Rock Festival; one day later, he became an actor with a place in Hollywood. This earth-shaking change is costly. It took Hugo a long time to adapt. In the colorful Vanity Fair of Hollywood, Hugo is completely stunned. He has also stumbled all the way to the present, and this road is not easy.

This is also the reason why Hugo can fully understand Joseph, not only because they are friends, they have walked side by side together until now; but because Hugo can also empathize and experience everything Joseph faced.

"You can say that." Joseph smiled and shrugged, but he knew that it was because Hugo understood him. If he were replaced by someone else, maybe he would have lost his job long before the Golden Globe incident broke out." But the problem is, Hugo, for your career development, I really provide very little help."

"Scenting the fragrance to meet women is a collective audition. "Yihai Xiongfeng" is introduced by Pacino and Nicholson; "Night Sleep in Seattle" is matched by Lena; and "Schindler's List" You know, this is the credit of Super Al; as for "Pulp Fiction" and "Speed ​​of Life and Death", these are also your choices."

As Joseph was talking, he found that his self-confidence was drastically diminishing, "Look, Hugo, I have not offered you any help at all. From the perspective of others, I have obtained these job opportunities for you, and they are sure that they are mine. Vision. But the problem is that you have won these job opportunities yourself, and choosing these works is also your vision."

This is the crux of the problem. Joseph found that in the three-year career of his agent, there are not many moments that can be called bright spots. Perhaps the dividend of "Sleepless in Seattle" is one of them. Not long ago, Tracey A complete destruction of Jacobs' conspiracy is also considered one. But other than that, there are indeed very few

When Hugo heard Joseph’s words, he could only be silent. He didn’t know much about the work of the agent. He had no way to refute Joseph. "Joe, do you know? In my opinion, the work of an agent is , Use your personal connections to select scripts for actors, and use your own ability to deal with the relationship between actors and the media. In fact, the actors who really have the power to make decisions have always been actors, right?"

Joseph did not speak, but he understood what Hugo meant. In fact, in a narrow sense, the job of an agent is indeed like this. The range of contacts and the ability to handle crisis are the core values.

"So, I think you are an excellent agent." Hugo did not say much, but from his point of view, it is not as bad as Joseph said~www.wuxiahere.com~Joe, although you are here You have made mistakes at work, but you can always arrange things in an orderly manner, so that the whole situation looks clear at a glance. You see, whether it’s also film work or music work, you always arrange it reasonably, without any mistakes, and publicity. The same goes for the itinerary. Furthermore, although you don’t give me much advice on the far-reaching of the script, you have now established your own network, which has won me more opportunities for scripting, and you have gradually found the know-how in the relationship with the media, no ?"

After a long period of training, Joseph is indeed a good agent now, and his ability has been demonstrated. Hugo believes that what Joseph lacks should be confidence. "The most important thing is that you are a passionate and conscientious. My agent, believe me, without your company, maybe I would have given up when the audition of "Dahe Love" failed. You have accompanied me to this day, although I don’t know if this is considered a success, but I firmly believe that you are also part of my current achievements. We are friends and partners."

Joseph looked at Hugo in front of him, his eyes a little hot, which made him avoid his sight in embarrassment.
