Chapter 548 548 Sleepless Night
Although Los Angeles in December is not as cold as the warmth of San Diego, it is not as warm as spring. This night is destined to be a sleepless night. Media reporters were excited and excited. In the 1990s when the Internet had not yet developed, reporters could not send the news to the Internet as soon as possible, which aroused heated discussions among netizens. Everyone must wait for the newspaper to be published after dawn before the public opinion frenzy can start.
However, the 24-hour radio program spreads the events that happened this afternoon to evening through radio waves. I am afraid that at this moment, there are only a handful of people in the entire American land who have no idea about the child case, and there are very few people who do not know Hugo's shocked remarks. This has become the hottest topic of major TV station news programs and many national radio programs.
Alfonso quietly came to the company headquarters of International Innovation Management Company on Constellation Avenue, but the guards at the door did not allow him to enter. Although Honor To Death is an artist under International Innovation Management Company, Henry himself was casual and almost never appeared in the company's office, and he was responsible for all his work. Therefore, this was the first time Alfonso came to the company and now Honor To Death is obviously not well-known, so the guards naturally were unwilling to let go.
In desperation, Alfonso could only call Joseph and asked him to come down to pick him up. Alfonso looked at the number of elevators jumping down from the seventeenth floor and was a little stunned.
Just after Glory died, everyone disbanded and went home, but Alfonso did not go home directly, but came here by turning a corner. Alfonso knew that Hugo and Joseph's relationship is still in a completely rigid state. Their mutual friends have tried to persuade people to make peace openly and secretly, but unfortunately, things have been one after another recently, and there is not much room for breathing. In addition, neither of them think they are wrong, so they cannot compromise at all.
Now the mutual friends of the two are forced to take sides. For example, Fokin supports Hugo, Carl has to support Joseph, Charlize and Alex are both on Hugo's side, while Alfonso can only choose to stand on his childhood friend Joseph's side. This situation is very bad, and it makes daily interactions stumbling.
Although this state is not good for everyone, Alfonso is particularly obvious. On the one hand, he knew Joseph since he was a child. He knew what kind of person his childhood friend was. He was willing to believe Joseph unconditionally. In fact, he would be willing to join Glory until death. The fact that Joseph was Hugo's agent was undoubtedly very important; but on the other hand, as a member of Glory until death, he understood Hugo bit by bit, and he could see clearly what Hugo had done recently. Although he didn't know much about the matter between Hugo and Joseph, and he was on Joseph's side, he also knew that Hugo was not an unreasonable person.
So, Alfonso hopes that Hugo and Joseph can talk openly and honestly, more urgent than anyone else.
After two stormy waves this afternoon and evening, especially the evening, Alfonso realized that he had to stand up because he was the bond between Joseph and Hugo. So Alfonso appeared here.
Joseph soon arrived on the first floor, "Hey, Sunshine Boy, why do you want to come to the company to check out? I think you are not planning to take you around." Joseph looked in a good spirit. Although Alfonso believed that Joseph would not hit someone for no reason, Anthony's words still had to be verified. At this time, seeing Joseph standing in front of him, Alfonso let go of half his heart.
"I wouldn't choose to visit the company late at night. Now there is no one here, just an office building. What's the point of looking good?" Alfonso also said with a smile.
After explaining to the guards on the first floor, Joseph successfully brought Alfonso into the company, "How about it, the album promotion has been pretty good recently? I often hear about you when I listen to radio programs."
"Then why don't you call to care?" Alfonso's rhetoric asked Joseph with awkward look away and said casually, "There are too many things to be busy at the end of the year recently."
Alfonso did not intend to take the medicine from the beginning, so he did not continue to pursue it. Instead, he took the initiative to change the topic, "I have never been to the company. Your office and the record part are not together, right?"
"Yes, movies and records are two different departments. I'm not very familiar with it. I have been in the company for two years and haven't seen it." Joseph secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If it was Carl or Alex coming to talk to him, he could respond toughly, but if it was Alfonso, it would be difficult for him to fool him because both of them knew each other too much.
The two of them chatted casually all the way and entered Joseph's office, "So, this is your office." Alfonso walked into this not-so-large space. Although it was only about one hundred square feet (ten square meters), the good lighting and scenery made up for everything. However, when his eyes fell on the table, there was no time to clean up. The Chinese takeaway box, the coats and documents piled up on the sofa, Alfonso shook his head helplessly, "Are you willing to stay here, and you don't want to go home?"
Joseph was originally interested in introducing his office to Alfonso, but he was covered in cold water and his excitement cooled down, "You know, the end of the year is always very busy, so it's a little more convenient here."
"This is the second time you said you are busy. I finally know the disappointment when Hugo heard you say you were busy." Alfonso did not give Joseph any more and said it directly, and this sentence immediately made Joseph's face darker.
"So you came here to condemn me today. Hugo asked you to come?" Joseph's words were exchanged for Alfonso's surprise. Then Alfonso also smiled helplessly and shook his head, "I know why Hugo looks bitter every time I want to defend you in front of Hugo. This is all your thoughts, this is all your thoughts about me, an old friend? If so, it seems that I was wrong today."
In fact, since Hugo and Joseph quarreled, although Alfonso had spoken with Joseph many times, the band had been in a busy state, Alfonso contacted Joseph by phone and had only met twice after returning to Los Angeles. But even so, Alfonso still briefly understood the situation and tried to say good things to Joseph in front of Hugo, hoping to ease the situation, but he was always sad every time, which made Alfonso firm in Joseph's position.
But today, Joseph was like a hedgehog, full of aggressiveness, which disappointed Alfonso.
Joseph looked at Alfonso with a disappointed look and couldn't help but feel a little irritated, "Otherwise? If you didn't want to talk to Hugo, why did you show up in my office?"
Alfonso laughed instead, and he kept lit his chin, trying to use this action to soothe his anger. "Yes, I came to speak for Hugo. Because I think you are too childish, just like when you were in the first grade, your mother was unwilling to buy you a football, so you stood stubbornly next to the street for three hours and didn't want to go back to the house."
Joseph had no intention of covering up his emotions, because there was no need in front of Alfonso. He frowned and said, "You said I was naive, are you serious? Do you know what happened? Do you know Hugo is trying to betray our friendship? Do you know that Hugo didn't listen to my advice after he thought he was successful?"
"Is that so? Why do you mock yourself in my opinion?" Alfonso was not afraid of Joseph at all, so he rushed back, "You said Hugo was trying to betray your friendship? But what I saw was that it had been so long since Hugo came back to Los Angeles. You were still his agent, and he still refused all the invitations from other agents! You said that Hugo did not listen to your advice after he succeeded? But what I saw was that Hugo always insisted on himself. He was like this before he became famous, and now he was the same, and what about you? So what about you?"
"Busy, busy, busy, you are like the boss of this company, busy. You missed a script by Hugo and then missed another one. So, is it Hugo changing, or is it you have changed?" Alfonso said without any concealment and stinged Joseph with bloody stinging.
"Shit!" Joseph also roared at Alfonso angrily, "The whole company knows that Hugo is going to change jobs to Lang's subordinates, but I don't know. You were also deceived by Hugo. If he wants to change an agent, will he tell you? Of course not! For the sake of Hugo's good, I hope he can take on a big production movie and then make a breakthrough in his career, but what about him? It would be fine if he doesn't accept it, but he also has to accept a garbage movie with an investment of 8 million on his back. This is a completely insult to my work!"
"Don't tell me those professional things. I don't understand, nor do I want to understand. I only know why you believe the rumors in the company, but you don't want to believe that Hugo has never replaced you? Are these rumors more credible than Hugo's words? If Hugo wants to change agents, why do you have to hide them from you? He makes a lot of agents? I believe that a large number of agents will come over, and I think you know better than me."
Alfonso's words completely stunned Joseph. The authorities were confused and the bystanders were clear. Joseph never saw this clearly, and until now he was directly pointed out by Alfonso.
"As for the movie you mentioned, I don't know if it's worth accepting, and I don't know if it has any impact on Hugo's career, but I know that the encounter between Hugo and Quentin was indeed an accident. We were in a bar and unexpectedly met Quentin. Later, Quentin suddenly wanted to invite Hugo to star in, so we met Hugo in New York."
Alfonso did not roar this time, but said calmly, but told Joseph another fact that he had always ignored.
After saying that, Alfonso turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "This evening, the reporter from the National Inquiry newspaper slandered you and beat fans for investigation, and said that you were the one who hit the Golden Globes. I was scared at that time, but I couldn't contact you immediately, and I felt uncertain. However, Hugo stood on your side without hesitation. The reporter who spoke was speechless. This is the reason why I was willing to speak for Hugo today."
