Chapter 763: Before the rainstorm
"But... Hugo, do you want to go to that company?" Neil frowned slightly and asked. If the Innovation Artist Agency began to think behind the scenes, it means that something must have happened recently. In fact, although the power struggle within the International Innovation Management Company is mainly carried out in the film department, everyone has already heard of it.
Hugo curled his lips and said simply and clearly, "No."
Hugo's neatness surprised everyone. After all, from an objective perspective, the innovative artist agency is a company that everyone is eager to enter. Hugo glanced at Joseph and the two exchanged glances.
Hugo has never mentioned that Joseph will become his manager in the future, and he may follow Rick Rosen to the new company. There are two main reasons. One is that the Oscar is about to come, and the situation will still change after the award ceremony; the second is that Rick has never been moved, so Joseph and Hugo naturally would not come to the door and say, "We will follow you to the new company." They probably have been brewing recently, so they are also waiting for the opportunity.
However, choosing a date is worse than choosing a day. Since we have mentioned it today, it is the best time. "Actually, I mentioned this with Qiao before, because Qiao's agency contract will end in April..." Then Hugo briefly explained the situation.
The room was full of people, but no one spoke. I guess everyone was digesting this huge amount of news. In fact, whether it was Glory to Death, Charlize, Alex, Carl, and Joseph himself, everyone could only be regarded as Hollywood rookies.
Although the senior management of such brokerage companies did not quarrel like the acquisition company, it was already a power game at the management level, and they were relatively unfamiliar with them because they did not have enough capital to participate in such a game. So when everyone learned that the internal situation of the company had reached this level, they were even more surprised; when they learned that Rick actually planned to start a self-employed company, they were even more surprised.
At this time, the hall door was pushed open, and everyone turned their heads and looked over sensitively. It was Henry Bloom.
Henry was originally going to close the door, but when he saw everyone's gaze, his hand stopped, and then he looked back and forth blankly, but did not find any abnormalities. However, Henry did not ask, but stood there and looked at everyone, because he knew that someone would definitely speak first.
Sure enough, Pedro couldn't help it, "Henry, you're here. Hugo just said that the company was going to split, and then he was likely to follow Rick to open a new company."
Henry picked up his lazy and casual expression slightly, then nodded slowly, then closed the door and walked over with a lazy look, "That's it? I knew it a long time ago." Henry walked to the sofa surrounded by layers, looked left and right, and finally found an empty seat between Joseph and Carl and sat down, but he not only occupied a position, but he dispersed like a pool of mud, scattered, pushing both Joseph and Carl aside.
Neither Joseph nor Carl had any help. They also had more or less understanding of Henry's habits, so they could only touch their noses and sit next to them.
Henry didn't feel any guilty and looked at Hugo, "Why, have you decided to go out with Rick?"
If it were the past, Hugo might have answered honestly, but now Hugo will ask back, "Did Rick also invite you?"
Henry smashes his mouth, "This is what a smart person does. He knows that if he wants to win over you, then glory will inevitably be taken away together until death. You can't leave your music contract in the international innovation management company." So it was not an accident that Rick came to Henry.
Hugo was a little helpless. Joseph would say hello to Hugo when encountering things, but Henry was basically not in a hurry unless necessary. On the one hand, it was because of his personality. Joseph was a serious and cautious type, while Henry had a lazy and casual personality. On the other hand, it was also because of experience. It was not without reason that Henry could become a top agent, and Joseph felt that he still lacked in the position of an agent.
After Henry finished answering casually, he didn't take it seriously, and asked directly, "Do you think about Rick?" Henry directly answered the previous question Hugo and then asked.
In fact, Hugo cannot give an accurate answer to this question. Although he had guessed whether Rick's departure would be the "midnight political change" he remembered, it was 1994 rather than 1995, so Hugo could not be sure. Therefore, partly the reason why Hugo chose Rick was because of choosing friends, and partly the reason was because of believing in intuition.
Hugo thought for a while, "I don't think Marvin Josephson would be a good choice." This answer is actually more concise and clear.
Henry raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Joseph. Although Joseph's ability was not that strong, the cooperation between Henry and Joseph was actually very pleasant. To be honest, Joseph performed well in Hugo's position as agent. After getting a helpless look in Joseph, Henry pulled the corners of his mouth and nodded in agreement.
In fact, Ma Wen really has no ability in brokerage business. He runs a business empire and plays with Game of Thrones. He has very limited understanding of brokerage business in the entertainment industry. Therefore, even if the international innovation management company falls back into Ma Wen's hands, he probably still stands at the peak of power and handes the business to others.
So, are there anything other agents worth trusting? At least in terms of ability, Rick is one of the best choices. Coupled with Marvin's greed for power, it is relatively good to follow Rick to the new company.
"What about the innovative artist agency?" Henry continued, "Your career is in an upward period and a turning point, and they are obviously very good choices."
"Do you think those production companies care about me or my agent?" Hugo still did not give a positive answer and continued to answer in a rhetorical manner.
Indeed, in the early stages of development, actors must rely on agents. To be precise, until they have a stable position in the front line, the role of agents is very important; but after entering the front line, even at the top ranks, the agents rely on actors, and the agents will completely become an intermediary.
