047 Relentless

Lang's rejection was too stiff and direct, and he did not give Hugo any face at all. Joseph regretted it a little. He shouldn't have brought Hugo with him. He subconsciously looked back at Hugo and expressed his concerns.

Hugo felt a little innocent at this time, because personally, he had no involvement with Lang. Today was just the first time we met. So even though Lang refused him, Hugo didn't think too much, just talked about the matter, and simply felt that Lang was really not giving any affection. So facing Joseph's gaze, Hugo's eyes were stunned, and then quietly floated to the side: because he didn't know what reaction he was going to do at this time was correct.

As a senior agent, Lang naturally could not "humiliate" the other party in front of Hugo. This was really rude, so as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately looked at Hugo, "Hugo, you know, this is not aimed at you, it's just that the positioning of the movie "Ben. Neng" does not match your image, which is indeed inappropriate."

This is purely a lie, not asking Hugo to play "Ben. Neng". It's just attending the premiere. It's like the actors inviting their relatives and friends to attend a party and a party, which has nothing to do with the theme of the movie. Unless Hugo is underage, Na Lang's statement makes some sense.

Hugo's gaze was only halfway away, and he didn't know how to respond to Joseph, when he heard Lang's words, he spoke, "Well, what is my image?"

After saying this sentence, Lang was stunned, but he was also a long-standing person after all, and he quickly reacted, "Youth, vitality, health, and sunshine." Although it was a random answer, it was very accurate. After all, Lang had served as Hugo's agent for six years. Hugo was an actor brought by Lang, and he still knew very well.

"Then why can't I attend this premiere?" Hugo immediately connected another question, which was much more direct than Joseph. In an instant, Lang couldn't help but talk and looked a little embarrassed.

In fact, Hugo personally, he didn't know what Joseph's arrangement was intended, what occasion was suitable, and what activities were helpful to the actor's image. Hugo had never been exposed to these things, so he naturally didn't understand them. However, Hugo was indeed a little interested in the premiere of the movie "Ben Neng".

Although he doesn't like Sharon Stone, the movie "Ben Neng" was released in the past, which broke countless teenagers' fantasies about the relationship between men and women. The exposed shots in the movie are really unforgettable. It is rumored that many top actresses refused to act because of too many exposed shots in the movie. However, the nameless Sharon undressed in front of the camera in order to get the role. In the end, Sharon got the role and became famous in one battle. This also made the movie full of Hollywood-style open rules.

Of course, in terms of artistic quality, there is not much to discuss in this movie. Even though the movie caused a sensation around the world in the year it was released, the heroine Sharon and director Paul Verhoeven have never produced any representative works that can be produced after this movie. In their respective careers, "Ben. Energy" has become the only representative works.

Hugo was also a little curious about what the premiere of "Ben Neng" would be like.

Faced with Hugo's quick answer, Lang couldn't answer for a while, which made him feel a little angry. The young man who was easily controlled by him seemed to have lost control today. "You know, we hope that the grander the premiere, the better. Not all levels of actors can get the opportunity to attend."

This is actually a satirizing that Hugo is not at the level of his level. Lang has already restrained himself very much. He is very upset about the matter of Hugo coming to ask for help after leaving his wings. He has no reward for helping Hugo now, but it just increases his burden. Not to mention that Hugo is deeply trapped in the mud after the Golden Raspberry Award. Helping Hugo is losing money, and Lang is not so broad-minded.

Thinking of this, Lang's tone became even more stiff, "The negative impact of the Golden Raspberry Award has not yet disappeared, and Columbia Pictures does not want to associate its film with the Golden Raspberry Award."

The aggressiveness of these two sentences is very strong, and it can be called a snake hitting seven inches. It hits Joseph’s most worried point now: before the release of "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", Hugo was probably ridiculed for a long time with the title of the worst male lead in the Golden Raspberry Award.

"Stillon would be very disappointed when he heard this." Hugo smiled and said, "In fact, there are countless big-name actors who have won the Golden Raspberry Award in history, such as Laurence Olivier, Brooke.Shields, Daryl.Hannah, etc., so Lang's words can be said to have overturned the crowd. Of course Hugo knew that this was impossible. If Sylvester Stallone wanted to attend the premiere of "Ben Neng". Lang would definitely be reluctant to do so.

But in the face of Hugo's counterattack, Lang was not worried at all. Instead, he smiled disdainfully, "Let's talk about it after you reach Sylvester's level." The subtext is: You are not worth enough.

Lang's words were really merciless, basically writing off all the friendship that had been with Hugo Lancaster for six years. In fact, for a senior agent like Lang, he had no 100 or 80 clients, and he couldn't take care of them one by one. Naturally, he maximized his interests. Whoever could bring him the most commission would care the most about whom. The reason was very simple. Like an actor like Hugo who was half-popular and unstoppable, Lang really disdained to communicate more.

Joseph, who stood by and watched Hugo and Lang go back and forth, couldn't help but sigh that Hugo's attitude towards Lang had changed drastically. As expected, Hugo's tendency towards Lang did not appear, but Hugo was not angry in the face of Lang's rejection and rejection. Now Hugo is even facing Lang head-on, which is really surprising.

But at this time, Joseph didn't care to continue sighing. Lang's words became increasingly ugly, and he was almost about to tear his face. Joseph immediately stood up, "When Hugo reaches that level, he will not stand here." A sentence sarcastic that Lang was not qualified to take on the jobs of these big-name actors immediately changed his face.

"If Hugo hadn't had the 'excellent performance' at the Golden Raspberry Awards, it would have been like today." Lang Yi looked like a bad temper and said in a muffled voice. The impatientness in his tone was no longer concealed. It seemed that he did not welcome Hugo to him at all.

This sentence immediately made Joseph's chest block. If Lang hadn't persuaded Hugo to attend, how could Hugo go to the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood, how could he be fooled? How could he face the many difficulties in the future? Now, Lang is actually making a fuss, which is really depressing.

"After the release of 'Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women', you'd better not be jealous of Hugo's success!" Hugo saw Joseph getting angry for the first time in the past two months. Even in the backstage of the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony, even when he was provoked during the audition of 'Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Women', Joseph was not angry, but today he vented his temper without any concealment.

At this time, Hugo felt that Joseph was also a young and energetic young man. He was only twenty-eight years old this year, and the impulse and recklessness in his bones had not yet dissipated.

"It's better to have such a day." Lang said with a sneer, with a look of disdain. Obviously, he is not optimistic about Hugo's development prospects at all, otherwise he would not have transferred Hugo to Joseph. Lang had wanted to maintain a good relationship with Hugo before, but now he couldn't help it and showed his true emotions without any concealment. "Since that's the case, you shouldn't be here today, and you shouldn't ask me for an invitation letter." Joseph was blocked on the spot.

"Then, if you have nothing else, please leave." Lang regained their high posture when they first came in and drove people straight away. "I'm very busy, and there are still three phone calls waiting for me to reply." Lang directly picked up the phone on the desktop, pressed a button, and shouted directly to the speakerphone, "Gary! Please leave Joseph and Hugo, I have a meeting." This direct order to expel guests was completely despised.

Faced with the sudden outbreak of Lang and Joseph, Hugo himself was not deeply touched. After all, he had only traveled through time halfway and had not experienced so many things, so he naturally felt that he was not so heart-wrenching. But at this moment, looking at Lang's disgusting expression, Hugo was also repelled: Since they were eager to separate their relationship, why should they come to the door?

Hugo pulled Rajoseph's arm and said calmly, "Joseph, let's go. Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson is still waiting for Long's reply, don't disturb others' work." This sentence immediately made Joseph unable to hold back and burst into laughter.

Although this is just a light sentence, it directly hits Lang's pain point. Lang can now be called a top agent, but there is not a single real top superstar under his command. Michael Douglas, who has the best results, was not brought out by him. To put it bluntly, his hard power has not been recognized by the industry. A real ace agent must have cases of pushing a newcomer to the top with his own hands, and what Lang lacks is precisely this stepping stone.

Joseph's laughter added fuel to the fire, causing Lang's anger to burst out directly, but he could not refute, otherwise he would just make himself lose the price. So he could only watch Hugo and Joseph leave their office calmly. Before leaving, Hugo smiled at Gary and said, "Gary, Lang is now answering a call from Steven Spielberg, please don't bother him."

After watching Hugo leave, Gary looked at Lang with a puzzled look on his face. Lang was not answering the phone at all. He couldn't help but ask, "Spielberg?"
