Superstar

It was already early March when "Scent of a Woman" was finished. After shooting for nearly six weeks, the ice and snow in New York were gradually replaced by the footsteps of spring. Hollywood has experienced the excitement of Grammys and Oscars. It also gradually returned to calm. After Hugo's life after crossing, he finally adjusted to it after experiencing some ups and downs.

　　 After returning to Los Angeles from New York, Hugo finally got some respite. The practical term "breathing" is inaccurate, because Hugo has no work at all. After "Smelling a Scent and Knowing a Woman" filming is over, he is completely free.

With Hugo’s current reputation and without Tracey’s help, it is almost impossible to have a script willing to come to the door; although Joseph can continue to seek audition opportunities for Hugo, the second "smell of fragrance" "Women" are not so easy to find. Instead of going to auditions and then being rejected, it is better to wait for "Scent of a Woman" to see the reaction of the media after it is released, and then to seek a new job, it is more practical.

Of course, this is also risky. "Scent of a Woman" is a success, but if this movie also fails, or Hugo's performance has not waited for the approval of film critics, then Hugo's career as an actor It is estimated that it will continue to slide into the abyss.

　　 In order to avoid this, as a broker, Joseph had to think of something. In particular, the post-production of "Scent of a Woman" has just begun, and then we will have to look at Universal Pictures’ glances and arrange when the movie will be released. There will be at least half a year between them. If Hugo, Having been at home all the time, they will soon sit on the mountain to eat.

　　 But the problem is back to the original point: with Hugo's current reputation, there will be no job to find the door. Joseph thought for a long time, and finally decided to start with small things first, increase the exposure rate for Hugo, to see if it is possible to bring Hugo work outside of the film, such as a guest appearance in a TV series, such as a show performance.

　　 Joseph was busy before he returned to Los Angeles, and he continued to be busy after he came back, but it seemed that progress was not very smooth.

　　 Looking at Hugo who hung up the phone, Joseph hesitated for a long time before he made a decision, but he did not say it for the first time, but asked, "Why, still no one answered?"

　　 Hugo frowned, then nodded.

Since that night with Charlize, Hugo went to New York immediately after that. After that, Hugo devoted himself to the shooting of "Scent of a Woman" and almost forgot Charlize. This time It means that there is no contact for more than a month.

After returning to Los Angeles, Hugo thought about asking Charlize out for dinner again. After all, his friend in Los Angeles is Charlize. But after three calls, no one answered him. He almost thought Charlize was right. moved. But thinking about it carefully, Charlize is a model. February and March are one of the busiest seasons for models of the year. It is not surprising. At this time, Hugo once again felt the inconvenience of the early 1990s. Without mobile phones and computers, it was really too difficult to connect.

Putting Charlize's matter behind his head for the time being, Hugo looked at Joseph again and said, "Forget it, I'll talk about it another day. What's the matter, what's the matter with you? Are you not going to go out today?" After returning to Los Angeles , Joseph has been running out frequently, it can be seen that he is very busy.

　　 Joseph paused, and still said, "I'm going to find Lang, do you want to go together?" After hesitating and struggling for a long time, Joseph finally decided to seek help from Lang Meyer. Joseph's time in the industry is still too short, and his contacts are very limited. Even if he uses the company's resources, it is not so easy to find a suitable exposure opportunity for Hugo.

After several twists and turns, Joseph found that Lang had a movie premiere suitable for Hugo to attend. Although Joseph was very reluctant to ask Lang for help, he was worried that the partnership with Hugo would make progress. As a result, Hugo made progress again. If Xiang Lang is partial, then his work during this period of time will be done in vain, and the future is even more promising.

But think about it carefully, Joseph knew that he did all this for Hugo, and hoped that Hugo can get rid of the current predicament as soon as possible and seek development. Of course, the next step is to enable him as an agent to succeed, so if you seek Lang Joseph's help can achieve this goal, and Joseph feels that he still has to work hard, because he knows this is what an agent should do. Joseph is gradually becoming a qualified agent.

　　 Hugo has been hearing about Ron Meyer for a long time, but he has never seen it before. In fact, after crossing over, Hugo took the initiative to know two friends: Charlize and Leonardo, but now Charlize can’t get in touch, and Leonardo only knows the “scent of a woman” after the fate. There was no chance to meet, but as for the crew that just ended, they got along very happily. So think about it carefully, Hugo also thinks that he should be more proactive. Since he has crossed over, he should work hard to adapt to the life here.

　　 So Hugo nodded, "Okay, let's go together."

Hugo's succinct answer caused Joseph to sigh inwardly: It seems that Hugo's trust in Lang has not completely faded. Originally, he thought it would be different after experiencing the Golden Raspberry Award, but... However, Joseph quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, he actively asked Hugo if he wanted to go with him. There was no need to struggle all the time.

"Why go to see Lang? Is there anything else?" Hugo asked curiously. In fact, Hugo only knows a few simple things about the affairs between Lang, Joseph and his predecessor, but the specific inside story I don't understand. But this does not prevent Hugo from making a judgment: his current agent is Joseph, he and Lang are not bound by any interests, and they are not friends, so it seems that there is no need to meet.

Joseph did not answer, but took the lead and left the house. Hugo followed, closed the door of the room, and walked downstairs with Joseph, and then he heard Joseph say in front of him, "Go talk A job."

　　 Hugo curled his lips and didn't quite understand what Joseph said. His agent was Joseph, so why did he go to Lang to talk about work? Could it be that Lang's artists have jobs to offer him? Hugo was originally curious and wanted to ask, but then he looked at Joseph's serious expression and shut his mouth.

　　Looking at the white Volkswagen Golf in front of me, although Hugo strongly suspected that it would fall apart at any time during the first ride, but after a long ride, he felt that this car was also very good. You know, in the 21st century, there are still people keen to collect this kind of antique car. When the retro style is most violent, it is also a kind of taste to own a car with the characteristics of the times, and now Hugo sits. In this car, there is an illusion of pulling the wind—except for the vibration from time to time.

Thinking that he was about to visit an international innovation management company for the first time, Hugo's curiosity began to rise again, but this curiosity can't ask Joseph, Hugo can only go around in his mind, I don't know the best in the United States What will one of the top three brokerage companies in China look like, will it be magnificent, will it be spectacular...

Crossing Beverly Hills and going straight to the southwest along Santa Monica Boulevard, you can see the most densely populated residential community in Los Angeles, Century City (Century. City), where Constellation Boulevard (Constellation. Boulevard) is located. In the middle of Century Park (Century Park) in this area, lush green can be seen all around. On Constellation Avenue, many artists have chosen to live here-it will not be as expensive as the Beverly Hills housing, but it will not be far from the center of Hollywood, and the well-equipped community facilities around it are even more icing on the cake. .

The International Innovation Management Corporation arranged its headquarters on Constellation Avenue. It takes less than a quarter of an hour to drive from Joseph’s residence to the company. Many artists are also very convenient for the development of the company's business.

Joseph turned the car into Constellation Avenue. Hugo quickly saw a towering glass building with at least 30 stories above. It was an office building at first glance, but the building was not marked with a name, Hugo. Can't help but guess, "This entire building is owned by an international innovation management company?"

　　"Yes~www.readwn.com~ Joseph said plainly and simply, this made Hugo's mouth stiff before he closed it.

　　 Hugo originally thought that he had a deep enough understanding of the company, but now it seems that the international innovation management company is much bigger than he thought. You are the top brokerage company in the United States. The businesses and artists under the International Innovation Management Company are definitely much larger than Hugo imagined.

　　 Joseph didn't notice the abnormality of Hugo. He drove the car into the parking lot expertly, and then took Hugo into the elevator. The elevator ran up directly, and finally stopped on the twenty-third floor.

After entering the floor, Hugo constantly looked at the busy scene around. In fact, this place is no different from any ordinary company, except that the office space is basically composed of one transparent glass office, and then there is a corner belonging to the assistant outside. Other than that, there is nothing surprising.

　　 "Why, so curious, as if you haven't been here?" Joseph said casually when he saw Hugo.

Hugo suddenly realized that he had relaxed his vigilance again, but this time he was not nervous, "No, it's just that I haven't come over for a long time, and I feel that some new faces have been added here." It has been almost two months since he crossed over, so long. It's normal to have personnel changes inside, and the entertainment industry has always been the fastest to update and change jobs, even behind the scenes.

　　 Joseph nodded and agreed. Immediately, Joseph's footsteps stopped at the door of an office. Hugo guessed that this should be Ron Meyer's office, but Joseph stood at the door and said to the assistant nearby, "Who are you?"
