Chapter 200: 200

The end of the year is approaching, and for any corner of the world, this is a time to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, and even the air is filled with a joyful atmosphere. At the same time, various celebrations have made the end of the year the busiest time for artists. However, this busyness is for singers. Countless invitations to performances, parties, and concerts have made singers fly around the world and have a lot of fun. For actors, although there are invitations to event such as radio stations and programs, they often enjoy the noise on the stage as a spectator, and party carnival has become an occasion for actors to relax.

After the recording of "Opra Talk Show", Hugo brought seven invitations to the last three days of 1992. In the end, Hugo and Joseph played four of them. The focus of the discussion was similar, and they were all around the Golden Globe nomination, the upcoming Oscar outlook and the talent for music creation. However, since Hugo's "singer" can only be regarded as a guest role, the excitement at the end of the year has nothing to do with Hugo. I just don't know what the scene will be like after the broadcast of "Opra Talk Show".

After busy recording the program, Hugo can finally relax and wait for the moment when 1992 enters 1993.

On December 31, the last day of this year, at 10 o'clock in the morning, Hugo followed Joseph to International Innovation Management Company.

Every year at the end of the year, the International Innovation Management Company will hold a special lunch meeting to bring all its agents together. The company's partners will attend the lunch meeting to commend and condolence the agents, then issue bonuses, and hold some simple lottery activities, mainly to activate the company's atmosphere, express rewards for the achievements of the past year, and promote everyone to continue cheering on the New Year.

At this lunch meeting, agents will bring more or less several artists to attend. On the one hand, it will increase the weight of the company and show their strength to competitors who are inquiring about company information; on the other hand, it is also a competition between agents. Whose artist has the best performance in the past year will inevitably be recognized by partners, which will be of great help to the future development of the agent.

So, generally speaking, when an agent attends, he invites his most proud artist, hoping that they can support him, but people like Joseph and Carl are not so lucky. Joseph and Carl both attended alone last year. Although Hugo came to the lunch with Joseph, he always followed Lang Meyer like a tail, making Joseph very angry.

This year, Carl still came alone. Charlize can only be considered a newcomer at the moment, and there is no weight in such an occasion. If this is an industry party, then Carl will let Charlize come over to see the world, and maybe you can get to know more people; but this is just a lunch party within the company. What you know here is either the agents who are competitors or the artists who are their competitors, so there is no meaning.

When Joseph brought Hugo to attend, it caused quite a stir. Although the international innovation management company achieved remarkable results this year, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mel Gibson, Eddie Murphy (eddie.murphy), Julia Roberts, Paul McCartney and other artists all achieved very good results. But it must be admitted that Hugo Lancaster also occupied a place in the star-studded international innovation management company this year, especially the "Yihai Xiongfeng" who is still in the North American weekend box office rankings. This work quickly became a popular work for the Golden Globes and Oscars.

Therefore, after Hugo appeared, many top agents came forward to say hello. No matter what the purpose was, at least one person was familiar with each other and said a word of congratulations, which was still very suitable for today's festive atmosphere. Not only the agent, Hugo also chatted with Julia for a while and had a very pleasant conversation with this popular hot chicken. Then he drank half a cup of whiskey with Arnold and Mel. Unfortunately, Hugo didn't know how to smoke and could not join the men's smoking camp.

After seeing so many big-name stars this year, Hugo finally won't continue to make a fuss. Although he was quite surprised when he saw Arnold's almost terrifying muscles, he remained calm overall, which was a great improvement.

However, when Hugo saw Paul McCartney, he still seemed a little impatient. Why? Is this still necessary to ask why? Because it was Paul McCartney, because it was the Beatles, because it was a music legend. Although Hugo had never experienced the craziest and most popular era of the Beatles, it would not affect his feelings about the positive effects brought by the Beatles music.

Among the four members of the Beatles, there has been debate about who is the true soul of the band John Lennon and Paul McCartney, but there is no doubt that both of them are great songwriters, joining forces to push the Beatles to the position of the greatest rock band in history.

For the fact that he could see Paul as a living fossil for Hugo, you can imagine Hugo's excitement. But unfortunately, before Hugo could get close to Paul, he saw Paul being led to the other side by the company's co-president Marvin Josephson (marvin.jo) and his footsteps were blocked by an uninvited guest.

Hugo tried to give in to the side, but found that the other party was following. Hugo then had to take his eyes off Paul and shift it to the obstacle in front of him, "Hey, Hugo, long time no see." The person came was Lang Meyer. Although it was a little surprised, it was not surprising. Lang was originally one of the partners of the company and he was also the protagonist of today's lunch party.

"It's not that long, isn't it?" Hugo knew that the other party must have come prepared, so he simply stopped and looked at Lang. As for Paul, there might be a chance in the future. Hugo's answer was actually meaningful. He was hinting that he had seen the other party at the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng", but he deliberately did not directly point out, and it depends on how Lang would deal with it.

In fact, after the premiere, Hugo wanted to go up and question Lang Meyer why he couldn't get along with him, but there was no evidence, and secondly, there was no meaning. Even if Lang admitted that he was only Alger's, so what? Hugo wanted to go up and beat Lang up and behaved neatly.

But later after discussing with Joseph, I thought that Lang appeared at the premiere of "Yihai Xiongfeng" to find Sidney Pollack, which means Lang has a backup plan; on the other hand, Lang and Tracy are planning something behind the scenes, no matter whether it is targeting Hugo or not, the other party is now in a dark and he is in an open mind, so after thinking about it over and over again, Hugo still decided to remain silent.

Lang squinted his eyes and looked at Hugo deeply, as if thinking about the deep meaning of Hugo's words, but then his words surprised Hugo, "You are talking about the premiere of 'Yihai Xiongfeng'. I'm really sorry that I didn't come forward to say hello to you that day, mainly because there were some urgent matters later, so I had to leave first."

Hugo didn't expect Lang to make it clear, which further confirmed Hugo's idea. Lang has a backhand, so he couldn't be anxious. However, in front of Lang, the old fox, Hugo had been in society for ten years, but he was still a little immature. He directly revealed some of his trump cards, "It's okay, I just mentioned it unexpectedly when chatting with Sidney. After all, work is still important."

Hugo didn't realize that he had leaked the information about chatting with Sidney on the "sugar-coated trap" and his clear smile made Hugo wake up. "I heard about your cooperation with Sidney. I believe you will contribute a very exciting performance. You are comparable to Nicholson in the "Yihai Xiongfeng" and there is absolutely no problem."

In fact, Hugo is not so easy to neglect, but in the face of an old fox like Lang, and Lang deliberately plotting against Hugo, Hugo, who was only 25 years old, still exposed the shortcomings of inexperience. However, Hugo was able to understand so quickly, which was also the experience accumulated in society for many years. "Before the movie was released, everything was impossible to tell, right?"

This time Hugo learned to be smart and did not reveal any audition process about the "sugar-coated trap". Although it is not too difficult to inquire about these news unless the producer keeps it confidential; but Hugo knew that it was one thing to find out, and it was another thing to reveal it to Lang on his own initiative. Hugo still doesn't know what the abacus Lang is, so he couldn't relax his vigilance.

Hugo subconsciously looked for Joseph's figure in the crowd. Joseph and Carl went to get the fruit together, but he has not come back yet, and they have not been seen near the buffet table.

"I heard that Brad Pitt's agent Martin has been very active recently. Robert also thinks Brad is very suitable for the role of the "icing trap". I don't know how Sidney will choose." Lang looked clear and lowered his voice, as if he revealed a huge secret for Hugo to know.

This expression made Hugo feel very uncomfortable, as if Lang had mastered the overall situation, but Hugo was in this game and could only see a corner of the chessboard and could not confront Lang at all. Hugo realized that although he and Joseph rose quickly, their foundation was still too shallow in the circle of connections.

It was like this invitation to the "icing trap" that if Rick Rosen hadn't taken the initiative to remind him, they would probably be behind Brad's position. Robert Redford and Sidney Pollack have had a very close friendship since "leaving out of Africa". In addition, Brad's agent Martin Baum has a strong strength, which has indeed made Brad occupy a favorable position.

Lang just said this, as if he was hinting that Hugo: Sidney hasn't asked you to audition recently, because this is the reason!

After Hugo understood Lang's hint, he was not happy or nervous. Instead, he became alert, or even more alert: he showed his diligence for nothing, either he was a traitor or a thief. His relationship with Lang Meyer has always been tense. Don't forget that Alerje's affairs were instructed by Lang behind his back. Why is Lang now taking the initiative to show his kindness?
