Chapter 916 916 Prince of Melancholy

Originally, Mark invited Hugo to come and watched the football match together was not the real purpose, so they did not try to keep him again and again. After making some polite mistakes, they sent Hugo and Joseph away.

"Luc Besson hopes to use the band's new song as the ending song. Henry temporarily pushed it for the tour, and they found the company." Hugo said it briefly in a few words. In fact, it is not accurate to say this. There are too many details that have not been explained clearly. However, now the surroundings of the Rose Bowl are no longer able to hold back, and the noise is overwhelming, so there is no time to explain in detail.

But Joseph heard the clue from these simple words. The huge success of the first album of Honor to the Death made EDA Records a little anxious. This is also a common problem for large record companies. It is like after "don't mind" becoming a big hit, the record company founded by David Geffen, a subsidiary of Universal, couldn't wait to release the next album.

But Henry Bloom obviously had different considerations. He continued his respect for the band and was not overwhelmed by the current results. Although he didn't know the details, the struggle between Henry and EDA Records behind this is definitely not that simple.

However, EDA Records still has enough patience and is still communicating with Henry and has not directly caused the matter to the band members, otherwise things would not be so calm. But I don’t know how long this patience can last.

Joseph nodded slightly. In fact, all these problems are additional problems that come with success, and are inevitable problems, and there is nothing good to be surprised.

"Mark Canton mentioned Jerry Zucker, Gus Van Sant, Sam Rai fans." Joseph also simply said that he was standing next to Mark just now, not really chatting. They were paying attention to the interaction between Hugo and Luc, and they were also clashing with each other.

Today, Joseph is not that easy to deal with, and Mark obviously did not expect this.

In Mark's impression, Joseph was a young novices: he brought Hugo to the first small peak of his career, but he actually had a breakup with Hugo, which was simply stupid. Then he signed Nicholas Cage, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, and the three actors were poached by others. In the end, Hugo turned to Rick, and Joseph completely left his position as an agent and became Hugo's manager.

Therefore, in Mark's opinion, Joseph's ability is insufficient, and Hugo hired Joseph for the sake of his friends. After all, it doesn't matter if the manager is slightly inferior to the agent. As long as he is a little clever and knows how to examine moderately, the most important thing is to be loyal enough, there is no problem.

In fact, Joseph is considered a loser in the eyes of many people in the circle.

But now, the halo of "loser" has become Joseph's mask. When Mark realized it, his main purpose was almost completely trapped by Joseph's cliché. The three names Joseph mentioned to Hugo can be said to have won his own place in the fiercely competitive Hollywood, and are attractive to many actors.

Hugo's first reaction was soon on his cheeks, and the surprise in his eyes was mixed with a hint of playfulness: Mark's move to win over was too obvious, obviously to make up for the cracks that occurred during the previous showdown between "Wolf" and "Life and Death Speed".

Generally speaking, this kind of win-win move is not easy to be seen. On the one hand, it is because Mark needs to gain the upper hand. Not only is he the president of Columbia Pictures, but his actions also represent the current situation of Columbia Pictures. He cannot be seen through. Otherwise, Hugo will take the opportunity to gain the upper hand in negotiations. This is still a small matter for the Lion to speak out. Let the competitors know that they are in a mess. This is a big matter.

On the other hand, when actors and production companies negotiate, the company should always take the initiative. Now, the top brands in Hollywood that can make production companies take the initiative to bow their heads and count them over and over again, and their hands are just overwhelming. Now Mark's "flattering" has been seen through, not only is it a loss of face, but it also seems a bit too impatient to recognize Hugo's status in the circle.

Logically speaking, Mark shouldn't be so hasty, but obviously he underestimated Joseph's ability. Now Mark is about to fall into a passive position.

Many thoughts flashed in Hugo's mind. He also knew that the success of this summer vacation meant that he would go further and that he could lift things from higher and deeper levels in the Hollywood circle. He just didn't expect it to come so quickly. In the next period of time, Henry and Rick would probably be busy.

Putting his thoughts behind his head, Hugo did not make any comments. He and Joseph walked quickly towards the position. Today is the World Cup final, and everything else can be waited for.

Back at the position, the enthusiasm at the scene could not be suppressed, and the band members who died of glory were the same. Even Fujin stood up and sang loudly with the fans on the scene, "Oh class, Oh class, Oh class (ole, ole)..." This support voice was first from the Spanish Football League in 1982. The fans shouted "Oh class" and weaved it into a simple tune to cheer for the team, but after that it became the most extensive tune for football fans on the spot.

Hugo did not stop and joined the support of the members. Samora also placed two buckets of popcorn under the chair, jumping side by side with Hugo and shouting. The craze on the scene was warming up little by little with the noon sunlight.

Soon, Brazil and Italy entered the Rose Bowl Stadium, pushing the atmosphere to the first ** in one fell swoop.

Twenty years later, when people look back at the 1994 World Cup again, what is the scene that comes to mind? Is it Argentina, who lost Diego.maradona, who fell to the quarterfinals after losing Diego.maradona, or Bulgaria, who was singing and entering the semi-finals, or Brazil, which made the unique four-win champion.

For Hugo, there is only one memory of the 1994 World Cup, Roberto Baggio from Italy.

As the 1993 World Footballer and winner of the European Golden Ball Awards, Baggio became one of the most shining stars in the World Cup that year. He almost pulled Italy back from the edge of the cliff three times with his own strength and led Italy to the finals. Although he fought too hard in the semi-finals, resulting in leg cramps and was once considered not to be in the finals, he still miraculously played against Brazil with a lineup.

The 1994 World Cup final was a showdown between two triple-champion teams. I thought it would be a Mars game, but it became one of the most dullest finals in World Cup history. The two teams did not score any goals in 120 minutes including overtime, and became the first final in World Cup history to decide the victory and loss through a penalty kick.

Among the players who played before, three of Brazil scored penalty kicks, only one of them was saved; one of them was kicked away, one of them was saved, and only two of them were kicked in. At this time, Robert Baggio came on the court.

The winner depends on Baggio's light and agile feet. If you kick in, then both sides will tie, continue to play penalty kicks, and adopt a sudden death method; but if you don't kick in, the game will end, and the champion will be Brazil. All the pressure falls on Baggio's shoulders.

Hugo knew the result of history, and he also knew that his little butterfly could not change history, but when this moment came, his heart was still held hard by the devil's hands, unable to think or even breathe. The tension in the air had reached its peak, as if even a little commotion could blow up the entire rose bowl.

There was no result in the ninety-minute game; there was no result in the thirty-minute overtime game; there was still no result in the penalty shootout of the first eight players... All the audience's thoughts were tense to the extreme, and they were exhausted to the extreme. The voices were hoarse, and their muscles were exerting force. They could only hold their hands tightly and rely on their partners to continue to support them.

The referee's whistle sounded, and the whole world's eyes were focused on Robert Baggio, blue top and white shorts, and the iconic ponytail made people recognize the Italian No. 10 at a glance.

The cramps in the semi-finals had consumed all Baggio's energy. He played another 120 minutes in the final, and Baggio was injured, but he still walked to the penalty spot with his back straight. At this moment, more than 90,000 spectators in the Rose Bowl held their breath, leaving only the heat in the air flying.

Starting, kicking, touching the ball... As soon as Baggio's foot came out, he saw the blue sky, the ball was still flying upwards, flying across the crossbar. Baggio stood there blankly, and the cheers of Brazilians roaring across the audience made the Rose Bowl tremble in the sun, but he could not hear anything and remained motionless. Brazilian goalkeeper Claudio Taffarel knelt on the ground and whistled to the sky. Just two steps away, this contrasting picture was permanently frozen in history.

Hugo only felt that his heart was pulled tightly for a moment and could not breathe at all. Before he realized it, tears in his sight had already surged up. This time, he did not wipe the tears, but the tears did not slide down. He just fainted in the sun, looking at the lonely and melancholy back in front of him.

The scene was in a state of madness. Pedro and Alfonso jumped wildly, screamed wildly, and shook wildly. Even Samora jumped desperately, with half of the popcorn left in her hand, just like half of the scattered flowers in her hand. Not only that, all Brazilian fans had lost their minds, and the surging yellow burst out with infinite energy under the bright sunshine.

In sharp contrast to this, the azure blue ocean was like a melancholy blue, silently silenced and sobbing. Countless Italian fans looked at Baggio, who was standing in the spot where he was lost and lonely for a long time, and tears had occupied his eyes before he could react. Neil and Fogin were no exception. Although they were not the most loyal Italian fans, their shoulders were drooping at this time, and they patted each other's shoulders, and they could not say anything.

Neil looked up and saw Hugo who was silent. Hugo stood quietly in place, like Baggio. Neil let out a long sigh, and finally Neil gave Hugo a hug. The two of them stood there, looking at Baggio in the stadium for a long time, as if the noise around was completely different, as if time had stopped like this.
