Seeing Joseph and Hugo walking straight over, the male assistant sitting outside the office immediately stood up and poked out half of his body to show his intention to stop him, "Sorry, Lang is busy now, you can't go in."

Joseph stopped and looked up and down at the male assistant. He was wearing a regular suit without any characteristics, but his slightly zipped chin and raised orchid fingers clearly showed that he was not only lacking masculinity, but also seemed to be a bit too feminine. But this is not surprising, because Hollywood, like the modeling industry, is one of the industries with the most homosexuality.

Hollywood is a place full of contradictions. On the one hand, more than 25% of the people in the circle are homosexual. This group of people rush to win the basic rights of homosexuals. On the other hand, it is extremely conservative in actual operations and blocks one after another. When the spotlight is on itself, it often dares not even say the most basic truth.

The struggle for equal rights in the United States began in the 1960s, and the development achieved in the past 30 years is actually very limited. As the industry with the most homosexuals, Hollywood has not been able to use the huge media power in its hands to promote anti-discrimination and rights struggle information. On the contrary, Hollywood's unspoken rules for homosexuality have been around for a long time, and it is not even an exaggeration to say that it is oppression. It was not until the early 1990s that programs that truly portray the image of homosexuality appeared in the United States.

In recent years, there has been a saying in Hollywood: To know who is not homosexual in the circle, it depends on whether he dares to play homosexual. The most famous example is William Hurt, who won the Oscar winner Xiao Jinren for his role as a charming and feminine homosexual in "Kiss. ​​Of. The. Spider. Woman" in 1985, becoming the first male actor in history to win an Oscar with a gay role. But everyone knows that he is 100% heterosexual.

Of course, after the 21st century, this is no longer adapting to the characteristics of the times. For example, after Jake Gyllenhaal starred in "Brokeback Mountain", rumors about him being homosexual have never stopped.

In Hollywood, homosexuality should be divided into two categories: front-end and behind-the-scenes. The workers behind-the-scenes basically do not need to hide. Even ordinary directors or crew members will not be discriminated against because of their sexual orientation, let alone makeup and clothing. The actors in front of the stage should continue to be subdivided into stars and supporting roles. If the actors play supporting roles and play supporting roles all their lives, it doesn’t matter whether their sexual orientation is exposed. Anyway, the audience will not care about the private life of a supporting role; but if they are a star, let alone a superstar, then it is justified to hide in the cabinet all their lives, because the unspoken rules of homosexuality in the Hollywood industry are even dozens of times more serious than race and gender.

The male assistant in front of him belongs to the behind-the-scenes group. He can express his sexual orientation without any scruples, and it will not affect his work at all. Joseph looked at the other party and showed a puzzled expression, "Who are you?" Then, Joseph added, "Where is Shirley?"

Hugo looked at Joseph and vaguely guessed that Shirley should be Long Mayer's former assistant.

"I am Gary Scott, Lang's new assistant." Gary Wei stroked his not-long sideburns charmingly. He looked back at the office and said in a low voice, "Kelly made a big fuss about Shirley's affairs, and the whole company knows." Kelly is Lang Mayer's wife. This gossip came very suddenly, but it was also very exciting.

Then Gary looked at Hugo and actually threw a charm. Her eyes came over, which made Hugo not react for a moment, "Hugo, if I were you, I wouldn't have gone in now. Lang had already drunk three cups of coffee today and his temper had accumulated to a certain level." After Hugo reacted, he couldn't help but show a slightly shy and embarrassed smile. He had never encountered a man who blatantly castrated himself out of his eyes.

Obviously, Gary recognized Hugo Lancaster, which was not surprising, and the next one was naturally Hugo's agent Joseph Gibbs.

"Gary, tell Lang, I'm going in." Joseph's tone was still tough, but after all, he was just a newcomer, and Lang was already one of the company's partners. Such a level difference still made him a little restrained.

"Joseph! You know..." Gary was still trying to stop him, but Joseph shook his head and gave a firm look, "Call!" Gary actually looked at Hugo with help.

Hugo was suddenly a little amused, but he still showed a warm smile and comforted Gary. Seeing this smile, Gary nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, for Hugo's sake." Hugo was quite shy before, but at this time he was amused by Gary's sincerity, and stood beside him and laughed.

Gary picked up the phone and pressed a button, then said, "Long, Joseph and Hugo come together... He insisted on seeing you, yes..." After that, he hung up the phone and looked at Hugo again, "He said you can go in."

Joseph watched Gary's eyes locked on Hugo, but instead laughed. He patted Hugo on the shoulder and said, "Go in."

Facing Gary's passionate gaze, Hugo nodded politely with a smile, and then followed Joseph into Long's office.

The office has at least 430 square feet (40 square meters), spacious and bright lighting, neat and orderly decorations, elegant and comfortable furniture. Hugo thinks this place is even better than Joseph's home, and this gap is not a little bit.

Lang was sitting behind the desk, crossing his legs, curly silver hair, and glasses. He didn't look as smart and capable as he imagined, and he looked more like a drama or associate director at the filming scene. However, Lang's rhythm of speaking was far more imposing than his appearance. "So, what's the matter with me? I don't think we have any questions to communicate." It was straightforward and unremitting, and it also showed his bad mood at the moment.

Joseph was shocked by Lang's momentum, but it didn't have much impact. He raised his voice and asked in a stable speech, "Long, Michael Douglas is your artist, right? He has a movie to be released next week?"

As for bringing Hugo with him, Joseph actually hopes that Lang can give some convenience in terms of past friendship. Especially when he thinks of the Golden Raspberry Award in January, it is because of Lang's suggestion that Hugo fell into the quagmire afterwards, and Joseph hopes that Lang can make some compensation.

Hugo then understood Joseph's plan, but when he looked at Lang who was indifferent in front of him, he sighed in his heart. As expected, Joseph had been in the industry for too short. He did not think that Lang was a conscientious agent, and the absolute rule of interests was the supremacy.
