Chapter 201 201 A corner of the map

Hugo looked at Lang with vigilance. He could not hide his true emotions freely now. At most, he could only show a little alienation. In the face of Lang's intentional calculations, Hugo, who was too young, struggled to deal with it. Moreover, Hugo knew too little, so he could not put together a complete map, and he had no way to fight Lang.

However, Hugo has never been a person who disarms easily. Although Hugo is not as good as in social experience and conspiracy, Hugo is not weak in his thinking in terms of flexibility. His eyes turned, outlining a faint smile, hiding his inner vigilance. "Challenges exist at all times. People without strength are afraid of challenges and hope to choose shortcuts; but people with strength will face challenges and even enjoy the stimulation of the challenge process."

Since Lang has been hinting that Brad may have to take the lead in relying on interpersonal relationships and grab the role of "sugar-coated trap"; then Hugo ignores the deep meaning behind Lang and responds positively.

Sure enough, this sentence made Lang's expression pause for a moment, and then it became deeper. Although Lang noticed Hugo's changes a few times before, it was just a skill in verbal work. But today, Lang could notice that Hugo's confidence was much more sufficient, and it was not as blindly confident as in the past two years, and it was more solid and more... calm, although it was still immature, it could already be seen that a lot of growth had been seen, which surprised Lang a little.

Faced with Hugo's provocation, Lang's first reaction was to lose his temper. His temper has always been bad. But when he thought about the importance of today's lunch meeting and his plans, he suppressed his emotions and covered his anger with a smile. "But more often, many challenges ended before the beginning. This society is equal, but not fair."

Hugo had never understood this sentence before, and what it means to be equal but not fair. However, after reading a comic, he immediately understood it. On the same starting line, the parents on the left drove a car to escort the child, while the parents on the right pulled a cart to escort the child. The starting point was the same, this was equal, but the tools for moving forward were different, which was unfair.

In the audition of "Sugar-coated Trap", the manifestation of equality and fairness is vividly reflected. Hugo thought that it has been a month since the invitation to audition from the "Sugar-coated Trap" to him. Even the release of "Yihai Xiongfeng" has entered the fourth week, but the audition has never begun. It can be seen that Lang's words are not groundless, he must have known some inside information.

Hugo had originally wanted to refute Lang, but he soon realized that Lang was now calculating him and he could not be led by the nose. Since he could not see through Lang's plan, it would be better to see what card Lang was in his hand. Anyway, the one who came to him on his own initiative was Lang, not him.

After thinking it through, Hugo swallowed the words to his mouth and looked at Lang quietly.

Just a silence made Lang's calculation temporarily stand. Hugo got back a little bit of disadvantage, and Lang's temper suddenly came up again. If it were the past, it would not be difficult for him to control Hugo. Of course, it was also thanks to Tracy's help, but now, Lang found that things were not that easy.

Lang decided not to go around the circle anymore, and he smiled at Hugo, "Sometimes, fairness is not that difficult. In the entertainment industry, a great agent can shorten a lot of distance."

The hint of this sentence is already very obvious, but Hugo is a little confused. Is Lang poaching his own corner? Does Lang hope to leave Joseph and then sign a contract with Lang? This... is this possible? Does Lang feel that he stretched out an olive branch and he was about to come forward?

But why? Did Lang forget the unhappiness of the previous few times? This is the case with the Golden Raspberry Award, the "Ben Neng" premiere, and the same is the case with Alger's small moves...

However, Hugo didn't have more time to think about it, because Lang began to throw the bait, "It's not difficult for me to make an appointment with Sidney. If necessary, it's OK tonight." This is when we started to contact Hugo blatantly. It seems that Lang gave up the roundabout policy because Hugo's eloquence had been experienced before, and it was definitely not that simple. On the contrary, it would be better to impress the other party with real discounts.

Hugo frowned slightly, and he seemed to have realized something: he has now returned to the top with two movies, and works like "Suillet Trap" and "Sleeping in the Night in Seattle" are willing to give Hugo a chance. Moreover, after Hugo met a group of important connections such as Al Pacino, Jack Nicholson, Beau Goodman, and Robert Reiner, his career in the entertainment industry will only be smoother in the future. In other words, even the chances of success of the agent still increase, and the difficulty of the agent in fighting for work for Hugo has also dropped rapidly.

To be more straightforward, if Hugo can play in the "icing trap", and Lang will be confident that he will win a salary of 8 million US dollars for Hugo. Then, by then, Lang's 10% commission will be a huge income including tax, which will be 800,000 US dollars. No wonder Lang will be moved.

Lang saw the subtle changes in Hugo's expression and thought he was touching Hugo. Before Hugo spoke, Lang continued to say in a pretentious manner, "In fact, Sidney and I are still talking about another big project, a very big project. What I can tell you is that Sidney Pollack, Martin Scor, Mel Gibson, and Kevin Costner are all on the preparatory list for this project."

Compared to the previous bait, the second news was obviously more explosive, and Lang's expression was obviously saying: Go back to me, then you will become one of the members of this project. However, Lang did not intend to continue to reveal the second news. To be precise, he felt that the bomb released today was enough, so he smiled at Hugo and turned around and left, not giving Hugo more chance to refute, but left room for Hugo to think.

Hugo stood there and thought about it carefully. Although he had a clear enough understanding of Lang's purpose, he still needed to confirm it. So Hugo looked around and quickly found Gary Scott Lang's assistant. Although Gary was Lang's assistant, Gary was much easier to get along with than Lang, and he also had many dissatisfaction with Lang and often talked about Lang's affairs behind his back.

When Gary saw Hugo walking over, a smile immediately appeared on her face, "Hey, little sunshine, it's really been a long time since we saw each other."

Hugo's originally slightly depressed mood was funny when he saw Gary's unconcealed admiration. He burst out laughing, "Gary, you don't have to glare at me, this trick doesn't work for me." Hugo's warmth and teasing words made Gary pout depressedly, and then muttered, "At least you can satisfy my fantasy qualification."

Hugo suddenly made a terrified expression, "Gary, you scared me! I don't want to know your fantasy!" Gary couldn't help laughing when she saw Hugo's expression, and seemed very happy.

"Gary, I'm asking you for something." Hugo calmed down the smile on his face, looked around, and confirmed that Lang was not nearby, before asking.

"I knew it was no good for you to come to me on your own initiative." Gary raised an orchid finger, rolled her eyes, and showed a typical gossip expression, "Tell me, whose gossip do you want to find out?"

"Your boss." As soon as Hugo's words came out, Gary was stunned. He threw a complaining look over. Hugo quickly explained, "It's not gossip. I want to ask you, Lang is talking to Sidney about the 'icing trap' project recently?"

Gary immediately understood, "Aha! Lang went to find you just now!" Hugo nodded and agreed. Gary also looked around vigilantly, lowering his voice and said to Hugo, "Long is talking about another project with Sidney, a project that is collaborating with Universal Pictures."

Hugo's mind suddenly became clear, "There are still projects that Tracy cooperated with?" Rick Rosen had told Hugo before that Lang, Tracy and Universal Pictures were discussing a big project. Judging from the news that Lang just revealed, this is indeed a very huge project, and it can be said to be ambitious.

Gary nodded, "But the project is still under discussion now, and I don't know any news." After Gary said that, she used her index fingers to make a gesture of a cross on her mouth, indicating that he actually knew some news, but he is Lang's assistant after all, so he cannot disclose the news at will.

Hugo couldn't help but smile, "I don't care about that project. I ask you, what's going on with that 'icing trap'?"

Gary then put his hands down, "It's that simple that he wants you to come back. Anyway, he's been in contact with Sidney recently. If you want to come back, the 'icing trap' is just a project by the way."

The budget of the "icing trap" is $60 million, which is just by the way, which makes Hugo even more curious about that big project. However, Lang's conspiracy has gradually become clearer now.

Lang planned to join forces with Tracy to win this big project of Universal Pictures. Tracy has been planning since early March this year, and both of them planned to use this project to rise strongly. I believe that there was absolutely no position in this project, and Tracy would not agree. Maybe this will become a project they suppress, such as promoting Brad, or resolutely removing himself from this project. In short, it is a similar situation.

But the problem is that Hugo is rising again and its momentum is booming, which makes Lang think again, making the situation complicated. As for Lang's suggestion that this project will have Hugo's position, it's just that the moon in the water is still true, so it's unknown.

"Then are you going to come back?" Gary suddenly asked, interrupting Hugo's thoughts.

Hugo raised his eyebrows and reacted to Gary's question, and laughed, "Gary, are you really that naive?" This sentence is enough to express his point of view: no matter how tempting the pie Lang painted, even if this pie is real, Hugo will never be able to return to Lang's home. This is not only a friendship for Joseph's friends, but also Hugo's own persistence.
