Chapter 563: Matter of principle

ads_wz_txt;

The 563 principle question was raised again. "When I was eating with Stanley, I mentioned you." Roland and Quentin had a good time chatting, but suddenly they got a touch and naturally shifted the topic to Hugo.

Hearing this sentence, Hugo directly revealed all the surprises without any concealment this time. Even if he wanted to hide, he had more than enough energy and lacked energy, and the whole emotion was directly led by Roland by the nose. Sure enough, he should exercise for a few more years, "What? Are you kidding me?"

Roland seemed to be unaware of anything, still chatting casually, "No, of course not, I'm serious. In fact, Stanley took the initiative to mention it. He and Steven are good friends. He went to watch. "Schindler's List" was very surprised after seeing your performance, he thought it was the actor who just emerged from you. "

This little ridicule made Hugo laugh. Hugo's four works in the past two years have indeed ushered in a big explosion. It is not surprising that Stanley will say this. "It seems that I have to continue to work hard, and I have not yet reached the time to be proud."

Hugo's calmness made Roland and Quentin both laugh, and Roland went on saying, "If you want, I can arrange for you to have a meal with Stanley, you know, after meeting, maybe you are. There will be a lot of common topics. Stanley is very interested in your performance. He thinks he sees the shadow in the'A Clockwork Orange' in your performance."

Hugo's cheeks were slightly red because of Roland's praise, although after the "Schindler's List" was released, both professionals and ordinary audiences gave Hugo countless praises, including Steven Spielberg in an interview. He didn't skimp on his praise, but even so, hearing his performance was recognized by Stanley Kubrick, the inner joy still flapped its wings like a butterfly.

Mallim McDowell (.), who had contributed to a wonderful performance in "A Clockwork Orange", has never won a performance award in his entire life, but he is definitely an out-and-out old drama player, and he is in many places. It can be seen in classic movies and TV shows that Gary Oldman was inspired by him to embark on the road of acting.

Roland saw Hugo's expression and thought it was about time, so he said, "I wonder if you are interested?"

Quentin, who was sitting next to him, looked at Hugo with excitement, obviously looking forward to Hugo nodding, but Hugo suddenly said, "What? Do you eat with Stanley?" Hugo smiled. He got up and shook his head, "No, I'm not interested. You know, I'm an actor and Stanley is a director. I don't think he would be keen to talk to me."

Hugo's refusal surprised Roland. Quentin showed a disappointed expression without any concealment, but Roland didn't care. Instead, he went on to say, "Then are you interested in working with Stanley?"

Hearing Roland's words, the excitement and excitement on Hugo's face remained the same, but it was a little more clear, which made Roland's heart "thump" inexplicably, but he couldn't detect what went wrong. , I could only look at Hugo, and then I heard Hugo say, "It should be everyone's dream to cooperate with Stanley, but if you want to cooperate with Stanley, there must be certain conditions."

Roland seemed to have caught Hugo’s bright eyes flashing a sly, but because it disappeared so quickly that he was not sure, Roland didn’t have time to think, so he could only continue according to the plan, "Hehe, the condition is naturally You should talk to the crew. Who knows what Stanley’s thoughts will be. The director’s ideas are always elusive, aren’t they?” Roland still turned a corner and didn’t directly state his purpose. Then he said. To, "But I think if there are familiar friends, I think everything will be much better."

At this moment, Hugo finally got rid of the emotion that was too excited just now, and the initial alert was reawakened in his head: Roland came to the door today to dig a wall.

In fact, from the perspective of others, it is normal for Hugo to change agents now. As a result, the relationship between Hugo and Joseph fell to a freezing point, and the two people went from high places to low places. Hugo is now in business. Rapid development really requires a more well-connected broker.

Hugo knows all these things. After falling out with Joseph, Hugo had this idea, so he should just change to another agent. But in Hugo's view, everyone has their own principles. Some things can be done, some things cannot be done, and some things are disdainful. Although Hugo is not a rigid person, he also has his own bottom line principles.

For example, in the case of brokers, it is only natural for Hugo to change any broker. This is the principle of the supremacy of the interests of the industry, but for Hugo, leaving Joseph and Lang to cooperate is something he disdains to do; If he didn’t make it clear with Joseph, he couldn’t find a new partner secretly. This is something he cannot do; if he really wants to change his agent, he will make everything clear, first end his partnership with Joseph, and then Looking for a new broker.

This is not about moral principles or the like, but because Hugo regards Joseph as a friend. He can't use a knife behind his friend. It's that simple. Friendship, this is the friendship that Hugo cherishes most, because in the past ten years, Hugo has always been with friends around him. A group of their friends support each other and run towards their dreams. The meaning of friendship lies in Hugo. There is a different position deep in my heart.

If we say that Hugo and Joseph are not friends today, they are just simple work partners. For example, shortly after the Golden Raspberry Award, Roland came to the door, and Hugo might just change the door.

Joseph is Hugo's friend. Although the relationship between the two is very fragile, Hugo still regards him as a friend. Therefore, before Roland started these speeches, Hugo had made a decision, and now he has no plans to change it.

When Hugo heard Roland dug a hole step by step and waited for him to jump in, the experience accumulated over the past two years still made him sober, so Hugo smiled and said, "Familiar friend? Do you mean? ......" Hugo stretched the ending slightly, and then simply said, "Agent?"

Roland was a little surprised. Hugo just said it directly, because he had been talking very secretly just now. In fact, he planned to explore Hugo's tone before the showdown. But now that Hugo has straightforwardly pointed out, he will There is no need to cover up, "Yes, broker. I don't know if you have any plans to change the broker or even the brokerage company?"

Quentin sitting next to him suddenly frowned. The excitement just now disappeared without a trace. He looked at Roland dissatisfiedly, obviously disliked the little movements of Roland and the Weinstein brothers behind him. .

However, Hugo did not blame Quentin, but looked at Roland with a smile on his face, but the action was very determined. He shook his head directly, "No."

The smile on Roland's face was frozen for a moment. For today's digging, he can definitely be said to be well prepared, and Hugo's reaction just now proved the correctness of all his plans and everything went according to plan, but why The end result is completely different?

Roland didn’t know which link went wrong, he obviously couldn’t understand, but he still kept calm, "Why? I don’t see any reason for you to stay with Joseph. You need a better agent, and We have better resources, and at the same time, we will give you a more relaxed choice environment. You know, we have always hoped that our actors can grow to the top of the industry, and we are constantly working in this direction. "

Roland said a lot, but Hugo leaned forward and asked questioningly, "Why do you think I should change my agent again? Joseph is doing very well now. I just talked to Quentin. It’s signed, isn’t it?” Internal conflicts and external conflicts must be distinguished clearly. Hugo has always had a clear understanding of this.

Hugo’s words made Roland quite speechless, but now he doesn’t know what to say, but Roland is not willing to give up easily, so he paused, seeming to sort out his thoughts, and then said, "As far as I know, your contract with Joseph will expire in April next year, and you haven't renewed his contract until now. I think you should be looking for a new agent."

Hugo didn’t notice this. When Roland said this, Hugo remembered it. When Lang Mayer threw Hugo to Joseph, it was May of 1999. The two signed a contract for three years, so That is, it expires before May of 1994. No wonder Lang's activities were so frequent before. It seems that this is also one of the objective factors. On the one hand, the contract is about to expire. On the other hand, Hugo and Joseph's relationship are at a deadlock. It is a good time for outsiders.

However, Hugo was still unmoved and raised his eyebrows with a smile, "Then I will wait until the contract expires next year to see the situation~www.wuxiaspot.com~ These words made Roland very surprised, because Hugo was completely surprised. It's an act that doesn't follow common sense.

Generally, the right to renew the agent contract is in the hands of the actors, because strictly speaking, the agent is the identity of working for the artist, and the contract signed by both parties is the employment contract, and especially when Hugo’s current level is reached, they are willing to do There are a lot of brokerage companies that Hugo provides services. Just relying on Hugo can feed a small brokerage company with less than 30 people. This is not just a talk.

Therefore, contracts like Hugo are about to expire, almost a year ago, or six months ago. The actors will start thinking about whether to renew the contract or change the agent. This is also to investigate the agency company’s submission of chips and services in advance. time. Even if Hugo is special, there are still many people who wait and see after the success of "Sleepless in Seattle". It was not popular until after the outbreak of "Schindler's List" in November, but now it is time to renew the contract. .

But... Hugo didn't do this. This made Roland laugh. He thought about it, and then nodded slightly, "Okay, I see, we will see the situation again in April next year." To be continued.
