A huge joy suddenly came, and my brain fell into a blank space in an instant, and the extreme sense of happiness instantly drowned Hugo. Although when he was writing the song "Second Opportunity", Hugo strengthened his confidence in continuing to move forward steadily on this road, at this moment, the ignorance, anxiety and uneasiness after traveling through time were still swallowed by this good news, and his heart was filled with joyful joy, which even made him feel suffocated.

Hugo couldn't help but hold his fist tightly and let out a low roar from the depths of his throat. This was not an explosive shout released out, but more like a roar of a mastiff in charge. All the energy was born in his chest. Even if it didn't explode, it still had a power that could not be underestimated.

The nails that were cut were trapped in the palm of their palms because they tried too hard. The blue veins penetrated the surface of the skin and even the bones were trembling slightly. The tiny tingling made Hugo feel so real, but the remaining trace of reason still made Hugo suppress his joy and looked up at Joseph, "You mean, I, Hugo Lancaster, got the role of Charlie in the 'Smelling Fragrance and Knowing Women'?"

Hugo still remembers the scene of the Oolong at the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony not long ago, and he must confirm it again.

On Joseph's slightly stiff face, the surging inside him could be clearly seen from the tips of his eyebrows, eyes, and corners of his mouth. He was not weaker than Hugo at all. He squeezed out a sentence from his throat, "Yes!" but it became blurred because of the hoarseness of his voice. Joseph simply nodded and expressed a positive answer.

"Yeah!" Hugo's energy that had been echoing in his chest turned into a low growl, venting the surging emotions in his heart. He succeeded. He took the first step with his own efforts, won the opportunity to play against Al Pacino, and also won a chance to show himself!

This is indeed hard-won. Putting aside the influence of Tracy's unspoken rules, it is not so easy to just say that the crew of "Smelling the Flavor and Knowing Women" has made this decision. You should know that before that, Hugo had messed up three films in a row. Although there are many objective reasons, people will always be habitually blamed on the starring actors for the failure. What's more, Hugo's three works were nominated for the Golden Raspberry Award, which also shows that Hugo is indeed responsible for the failure of the film.

Moreover, the failure of these three films is not only a bad reputation, but also a complete failure of the box office, which has caused Hugo's "actor value" to plummet. Even if there is a "Death Poetry Club" outstanding, it is difficult for the producer to vote for him again.

Under such circumstances, the crew of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing Women" still bears tremendous pressure and decides to use Hugo. This courage can be regarded as a kind of favor of knowing the experience!

In fact, the crew of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women" is not in good condition now. The male lead Al Pacino is in a far inferior to his peak period, but his acting skills still have enough capital to trust Universal Pictures; at the same time, the script of this work itself is not a box office appeal, which makes Universal Pictures look particularly cautious when filing investments. Now, with Hugo Lancaster, it can be foreseen that the news media will definitely not have too many positive opinions on the prospect of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women".

But no matter what, Hugo got the invitation to the "first" role in his life. Putting aside all previous experiences, whether it is the bad of "Hudson Eagle" or the praise of "Death Poetry Club", "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women" will become Hugo's new starting point and embark on his own career as an actor.

Hugo took two steps excitedly and then gave Joseph a big hug. Without Joseph's handling and hard work, Hugo would probably not even get the chance to audition. Joseph was not only Hugo's agent, but also the first person he met after traveling over and the first person he was willing to help himself. Hugo remembered this in his heart.

Joseph only felt that Hugo suddenly hugged him, and then smiled heartily and said, "Thank you, thank you really." This made Joseph a little uncomfortable. During the year he took over Hugo, Hugo actually distrusts himself because he doesn't believe in his ability. Compared to himself, Hugo is more willing to ask Lang's opinion. The Golden Raspberry Award is the most obvious example.

However, in recent times, Hugo has not only begun to strive for progress, but also has obviously increased his sense of trust in himself. Although Joseph will not be grateful, it is undeniable that this is absolutely beneficial to him in carrying out his work, and it is also a huge affirmation for a new agent.

However, Joseph is not the kind of person who is used to expressing his emotions. Looking at Hugo who smiled and let go of his face, his bright amber eyes were filled with joy, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. He couldn't help but avoid Hugo's excited gaze and coughed lightly, "This is just the beginning, and the next shooting process is the hardest."

Hugo nodded vigorously and said with a smile, "I know." The smile was filled with countless longings and confidence.

Joseph woke up from the joy of Hugo's successful audition and recalled an important question, "Hugo, the crew called just now and said that since Charlie was just a supporting role in this movie, and given your situation, your salary is only 500,000 US dollars. What are you thinking?"

The audition director Alan Lewis mentioned this matter specifically on the phone, but Joseph couldn't figure out Hugo's idea, so he did not agree directly, but said that he would call back later. As an agent, Joseph could only give Hugo advice, and the final decision was the actor himself.

500,000 US dollars? Hugo was stunned when he heard this number. How much RMB is this? Hugo didn’t know how the exchange rate is calculated now, but in 2014, it was at least three million RMB! It was too amazing to have three million RMB income when he starred in a movie. I saw news before and said that a certain actor had 10 million RMB in a movie, but that was all someone else’s business. At this time, the pay belonged to Hugo, which really made Hugo speechless: Is the speed of making money too fast?

Hugo's dazed look at Joseph's eyes but hesitated. Joseph secretly cried in his heart: Could it be that Hugo is going to be in trouble again?

"Hugo, this is the thing. 'Smelling the fragrance to know the woman' is not a high-budget production, so it cannot be compared with 'Hudson Eagle'. Besides, the real protagonist of this movie is Pacino, and his pay must account for the majority. As a supporting role, there is no way for you to reduce the pay. I think you should take on this work. This is an opportunity, an opportunity to find your development direction again. Pay is only part of the factor, and you should not only focus on this."

Joseph persuaded him earnestly, which was the longest thing he said to Hugo since the Golden Raspberry Award. After Hugo reacted, he immediately realized that Joseph must have misunderstood. Sure enough...

"If you insist on paying more than 5 million US dollars, it will probably be difficult to find a new work." Joseph continued to persuade, even using such direct words to awaken Hugo.

Hugo couldn't help but be amazed. It turned out that his predecessor had such a high value, with a movie of more than 5 million yuan, but he was still complacent about his salary of 500,000 US dollars. He was really a frog in the well.

"Joseph, do I have any reason to refuse?" Hugo interrupted Joseph's words and said with a smile.

"Of course there are countless excellent scripts, Al Pacino, the crew's appreciation..." Joseph counted in detail, but halfway through his speech, he realized that he seemed to have heard it wrong, "You mean, are you going to accept this proposal?" He just heard it as "What reason do I have to accept it?" But looking at Hugo's expression, he felt that his expression and words were not in line with each other.

"Yes, I want to accept this proposal." Hugo nodded and gave a positive answer, "I have no reason to refuse, right?" The crew is willing to take the risk of hiring himself at this critical moment. If you pick more, it is to push out the opportunity to come out. What's more, for Hugo, the amount of pay is not the most important factor. He does not have the burden of "five million US dollars in salary", and the opportunities brought by the movie "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women" are the most important.

Joseph looked at the smile on Hugo's face and cast a confirmation look again. Hugo couldn't help but smile, nodded vigorously to give a positive answer. Joseph then breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved, "I will deal with the pay, don't worry." After saying that, Joseph also felt that he had made a big deal just now.

Hugo's performance has been very good over the past period of time. If Hugo was unwilling, he probably refused to audition when he heard that the work "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" was just a supporting role; or if he saw the grand occasion of the public interview, this was an insult to Hugo, who used to be the protagonists, so those people came to provoke him, but Hugo still participated in the audition and went all out. Thinking of this, Joseph knew that Hugo is indeed different now.

"After all, there is still 10% of my commission here, and I have to work hard." Joseph made a joke, trying to relieve his embarrassment.

Ten percent? When Hugo heard this ratio, he suddenly widened his eyes. It was 50,000 US dollars! Joseph's commission was too high. Although Hugo didn't know how the Hollywood agency industry operated, the commission ratio was indeed very high. "You don't look like an agent with the ability to draw ten percent." Hugo joked directly.
Chapter completed!
