Chapter 409

The plan of 409 Lang revived.

This is Philadelphia, not Los Angeles or New York. What are the chances of meeting Lang Meyer here? Infinity approaches zero.

But Hugo saw Lang and appeared in front of him with a smile. You must know that even his own manager Joseph, and his good friend Karl, Hugo have not seen him for nearly three months. But now I see Lang, which is really a weird situation.

"So, you showed up in Philadelphia, and you also chose to come to the motel. Could it be that there are any big projects to start here today?" At this moment, Hugo thought of Cameron Diaz. Maybe there is something in Philadelphia today. What movie was auditioning, Lang appeared as an agent and got a reasonable explanation. However, even though it is reasonable for Lang to appear in Philadelphia, it is not a coincidence that he appears in a motel.

Lang looked at Hugo and thought abounding in his mind. Although Lang was the one who brought Hugo into the circle at the beginning, Lang was very optimistic about the development prospects of Hugo; but after three years of ups and downs, Lang still didn't expect that Hugo would be able to come back again, and even achieved even more'glamorous' results than he had imagined.

This made Lang couldn't help thinking: If he didn't give up Hugo and he kept going, would Hugo stand in a higher position now? And will he truly become a top agent?

The speed of Hugo's rise in the past year has exceeded Lang's expectations. After the success of "Smell the Fragrance to Know Women" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" successively, Lang actually considered whether Hugo should be taken. Pulling back under his own banner, he also took action at the time, extending an olive branch to Hugo at the luncheon at the end of last year.

But at that time, Lang was just a test, and didn't care. The rapid development of things afterwards also made Lang cancel his original plan, because he knew that Hugo would soon become an abandoned son. In Tracey's net of revenge, Hugo is just a dying fish.

However, life is always full of accidents. Hugo, the little fish, got rid of Tracy's shackles, seized a tiny opportunity, and then completed the triple jump, not only sweeping away the decadence of the past six months. And Sora, but also relying on the posture of three masterpieces in half a year to rank among the tens of millions of remuneration clubs, and now it is clear that he has gradually grown into a big fish.

Now look again, Lang has been excluded from the next step by Tracy. "Farewell to Love God" has become Tracy's killer feature, but Lang is unable to participate in this work; on the contrary, "Schindler's "List" Hugo, who is in post-production, has successfully relied on the big tree Steven Spielberg, and his future is boundless.

Recently, the struggle for power within the company has become more and more rapid. The existence of Hugo has become a force that cannot be underestimated. Not only Lang, but also Rick Rosen, Marvin Josephson and others are coveting it. Lang has always looked at the foundation of the good relationship between Rick and Joseph. In this move, Rick has walked long enough and wisely enough that Lang knew he was one step behind.

Hugo Lancaster, this small sapling that he cultivated is now about to grow into a big tree, but it is a young broker who reaps the fruit, not a pioneer who planted the seeds. Lang's heart is very uncomfortable. But Lang also knew that he hadn't been very happy with Hugo several times before, and his bad temper didn't leave much room for maneuver.

Of course, Lang has always firmly believed that in Hollywood, there is no absolute loyalty, only insufficient interests. In fact, this truth applies everywhere. Hugo and Joseph are now in the honeymoon period of cooperation, but sooner or later they will leak out and give Lang a chance. Lang knew that he had been with Hugo for ten years. From the age of 14 to 24, the friendship between the two of them was still very deep, otherwise Hugo would not have targeted the Golden Raspberry Award. Come to ask my opinion. Therefore, Lang believes that all he needs is an opportunity.

Now the opportunity is here

Lang naturally knew about Joseph's recent 'spring' breeze in the same company, but at the same time, Lang also noticed clues. Joseph was negligent towards Hugo and made mistakes that almost all novice agents would experience. After a back investigation, Lang's conjecture was confirmed. The natural cooperation between Hugo and "Shawshank's Redemption" was actually going to be smashed in Joseph's hands. This was the opportunity Lang dreamed of, so he appeared in Philadelphia for a "spending" fee. It took a great deal of power to find the city that was glorious to death and arrived after leaving Washington (on).

Looking at Hugo in front of him, Lang suppressed his mixed thoughts in a blink of an eye,'showing' a sincere smile, "There is indeed a project that is about to start, and there are still two. Both of these projects have something to do with you. , I wonder if you are interested in sitting down and listening?"

Hugo is really familiar with Lang's smile. The memories of the past flooded in his mind. This smile can simply be expressed in one word, which is called "no profit, no early". Although Lang is well-known for his bad temper, he also has the ability to perform 'sex'.

"No, I'm not interested." Hugo didn't even think, did not pause at all, and replied simply and neatly.

Faced with Hugo's answer, Lang's smile froze slightly. Hugo like this is not the young boy he is familiar with. Hugo is no longer a rookie at his mercy, but Lang soon recovered. After coming, he also expected such a situation. If he hadn't fully prepared, he wouldn't have flown across the United States to Philadelphia at all.

Seeing Hugo stepping forward, ready to ignore Lang's existence, Lang hurriedly said, "'Shawshank's redemption...If nothing else, the actor can sign tomorrow. The candidate is Tim Robbins."

Hearing these words, Hugo shook his heart, because Tim Robbins was the real hero of "Shawshank's Redemption" in his memory. So, first, why did Lang know that he was talking about this project; second, why did Lang know that Tim was about to sign; third, if what Lang said was true, then why did Joseph not tell himself, why did Frank not contact him? Own?

However, although Hugo was stunned, and not long ago, Joseph ignored the "Shawshank's Salvation" project because of his busy work. According to reason, Hugo should have hesitated, and he was not sure what happened to Joseph; but In front of Lang, Hugo did not want to'expose' the flaws, he would still believe in Joseph instead of Lang. Therefore, Hugo only had a moment of stiffness, and then returned to normal without any pause, and continued to take his steps.

Lang watched Hugo continue to move forward, he had to speed up his speech, "'Shawshank's redemption, producer Frank De Labont originally preferred the male protagonist to be you, but something went wrong in the process. Robbins came from behind and was about to sign with the crew. Don't you want to know why?" Hugo still didn't stop, "Don't you want to take this role?" Hugo still didn't stop, "If you Yes, I can get in touch with Frank right now, and we can have a meeting right away. If everything goes well, we can sign a contract today to win this project before Robbins..."

Hugo still moves forward.

"Don't you want to know the twists and turns of this? Don't you want to get this role?" Lang looked at Hugo's firm steps, his temper suddenly came up again, and he yelled a few more impatiently, and then hurry up. He rushed to Hugo, blocked Hugo's path, and then waited to look at Hugo angrily, "This is an important project, and it is the project you want, why are you reluctant to listen now? "

"I don't want to participate in this project." Hugo said neatly. After so many things, Hugo is of course willing to vote for Joseph. As for Lang, Hugo admits that he is very curious in his heart, but he does not. The result will be known from Lang's mouth, and he will call Joseph to confirm. Lang is just a jackal, he can't let go when he sees benefits, and he is just one link in his chain of benefits. Therefore, Hugo did not hesitate at all, and categorically eliminated all possible'sex'.

If Hugo remembers correctly, the competition for rights within the company is obviously getting more and more fierce. Joseph has gradually become involved in this circle, and Hugo, who has succeeded in the three previous works, is a very important bargaining chip. Lang will come to find himself, he can't just need a bargaining chip, he can let Lang fly from Los Angeles to Philadelphia, Hugo suddenly laughed, "Lang, can let you come to Philadelphia in person, it seems that this project is really very, very important. , Or is my bargaining chip really worth it?"

This sudden sentence by Hugo made Lang's face change slightly~www.mtlnovel.com~ In the past year, he has been "hands" several times, and Lang knew that Hugo's eloquence is very powerful, and his observation skills are also very keen, but It was beyond Lang's expectation. However, since Hugo said it was broken, Lang did not intend to cover up. Instead, he calmed down and decided to open the skylight to speak up, "I don't know how true what you said is actually true, but I know, I The chips in his hand are indeed very important." Lang still avoided the questioning in Hugo's words, but changed the subject.

Lang knew that Hugo could leave at any time, so he didn't have any pause, and he said directly, "'Shawshank's redemption...This is my first bargaining chip. I can contact Frank at any time. There is also a project in the 20th Century Fox investment, cost 30 million US dollars, action plot blockbuster."

Due to time constraints, Lang simply 'showed' a little information, and then paid attention to the expression on Hugo's face, "How about it, two chips, are you interested?"

This is Lang's confidence in coming to Philadelphia in person, and it is also his assassin for winning Hugo. He doesn't think Hugo can reject such a 'sweet' proposal. To be precise, it is difficult for any actor to refuse.
