Superstar

Joseph took a deep breath, redrawn the smile at the corner of his mouth, raised his head and carefully looked at Hugo in front of him, as if it was the first time the two met today. This look made Hugo frowned and twitched. Speaking at the corner of his mouth, ¨Did you suddenly be possessed by an alien? "

Joseph was immediately amused by Hugo, and he laughed out loud. He shook his head, ¨I was just thinking, obviously I am your agent, obviously I am three years older than you, but why every time I meet When it comes to difficulties, you are comforting me? Are you trying to persuade me? "

Looking back on the past, it seems that this has been the case many times. In a difficult situation, Hugo always takes the lead and then regains his strength, firmly holding the possibility of the realization of hope in his own hands. The 520 novel is based on Hugo, Joseph has learned a lot, and this is what Joseph finds the most amazing.

You know, in Hollywood, a vanity fair, it is never easy for artists covered by spotlight lanterns to maintain their sobriety. Therefore, more often than not, the agent is the bystander who pours cold water, and then becomes standing The helm behind the artist. But Hugo is obviously not the case. It seems that after experiencing the ups and downs of 1991, after the Golden Raspberry Award, Hugo became another person, changed his mind, and walked to the present step by step.

Thinking about it carefully, all the turning points started with the Golden Raspberry Award promotion. Joseph's long memory awakened the deepest thoughts.

Hugo naturally didn't know Joseph's thoughts, and the corners of his mouth could not help but outline a shallow arc. If Joseph, like him, experienced such an incredible thing as crossing, although it was only a transfer of soul, but it seemed like a second chance for life, then Joseph would definitely cherish this opportunity like him.

¨ Joe, you know, I have been in this circle since I was fourteen or fifteen. Although I don’t want to be to the top like Macaulay Culkin, I have experienced many things. I’ve been lost and I’m brilliant. Before, I had doubts. Therefore, when I wandered between life and death, my head suddenly became clear. I knew what I wanted, and I was willing to fight and fight for it. "

This is Hugo's own truth. Apart from the fact that the travel has been concealed, this is the truest thought deep in the souls of Chen Hugo and Lan Shengster.

Comfort you? Persuade you? "Hugo smiled and shook his head, ¨No, I just keep on self-encouragement, or self-hypnosis. It takes a day to look at problems negatively, and to spend a day optimistically facing difficulties, I just choose the latter That's it."

Hugo's plain words made Joseph chuckle. Indeed, on the night of the Golden Raspberry Awards ceremony, Hugo was poisoned. After Pin struggled on the edge of life and death, he escaped from the dead. Since then, Hugo has chosen to face the bleak life positively. Along the way, no matter how great the difficulty was, Hugo did not shrink back, whether it was the challenge of acting in "Schindler's List" or the breakthrough of physical and psychological limits in "Speed ​​of Life and Death". .

Inexplicably, Joseph thought of Hugo Ring again. During the period of poisoning, perhaps, since then, Hugo has unswervingly embarked on a completely different path.

¨No matter what you say, the fact is that you have worked far more than my work to get to where you are today. "Joseph said indifferently, no unwillingness, no complaints, no regrets, but frankly admitted this fact, "Don’t say anything, you and I both know this is the truth." Although Joseph did not look at Hugo, he did. Knowing that Hugo’s personality would definitely comfort him, so he took the initiative to speak, and he heard Hugo’s chuckle, ¨ I have thought about it seriously, no matter whether I have the potential of an agent, but For now, I still need to continue to work hard. "

Joseph turned his head to look at Hugo and said with a smile, ¨That’s why I thought, maybe this time is an opportunity to let me recognize my own opportunity. If Cage and the others can get away, maybe they will let me start working hard again. Therefore, I did not restore them, nor did I take any emergency measures. "

At this moment, Joseph also wants to understand that everything is one and two sides. It may seem like a terrible situation on the surface, but it may actually be a new opportunity for promotion. It's like Hugo's Golden Raspberry Award.

Hugo looked at Joseph, and he didn’t know what to say. After all, he knew too little about the work of an agent. Naturally, he couldn’t understand that when an agent has three or more artists at the same time, he has to work for many. It is difficult to find a balance among them.

do you know? In fact, before signing Matt and Ben, when I only had you as an artist, I was more handy. I enjoyed the time when I didn't have to work in the office. "Speaking of this, Joseph himself laughed, ¨ So sometimes I wonder if I am not suitable to be a broker, maybe it is more suitable to be a secretary of the broker or something like Samora. That kind of assistant."

Hugo was amused by Joseph when he sat there, but he smiled, and a thought suddenly flashed in his mind: Why couldn't Joseph be his manager?

In fact, in the past two years, Joseph has been more like Hugo’s manager than an agent. Joseph handles all kinds of clutter around Hugo to ensure that Hugo can focus on his work; when the script comes in, Joseph will first look at it, then give it to Hugo, and finally Hugo will make the decision. The mode of getting along between managers and artists.

As Joseph said, if it is an agent, then he will take the lead in selecting it himself, and then recommend it to the artist, according to the agent’s plan, arrange the artist’s acting career; but if it is a manager, he will receive it from the agent. After the script is reviewed and reviewed, the artist will be informed of his thoughts, and the artist himself will make the final decision. Obviously, Joseph and Hugo's past mode of getting along was the latter.

Generally speaking, the interests of the agent are paramount, and the interests of the company and his own interests are the priority. There are many actors under the agent. He hopes that all his actors can achieve good results, just like Joseph last July. The situation when he has four actors. But obviously, it can be seen from the situation in the past few months that Joseph is not a qualified agent, which is why Joseph has self-doubt.

But the manager is slightly different. The manager can also be said that the interests are paramount, but he takes the interests of the artist as the priority object. All his interests are fully linked to the artist. The manager must wholeheartedly consider his artist. Fighting with agents, with production companies, and with the media, in the final analysis, all actions are for their own artists. Before July last year, the partnership between Joseph and Hugo was even more like this, and Joseph was obviously doing well.

Of course, because of the close relationship between managers and artists, trust is the most important link, which is why most artists choose their relatives as managers. If there is a disagreement between the manager and the artist, and it is irreconcilable, this will be the biggest blow to the artist. The broker is not good and can be replaced at any time; but if the manager has a problem, this is fatal.

Macaulay Culkin is the most typical example in Hollywood. After "Home Alone" became famous, although his parents were named brokers, their real identities were managers. They completely regarded Macaulay as earning money. The machine, as a result, caused Macaulay to become a big name at a young age, even prematurely exposed to drugs, alcohol, and alcohol; at the same time, it also made major production companies keep away from Macaulay, directly ruining the most famous in Hollywood history. All career prospects for actors in the ranks of great child stars.

To some extent, the manager can be regarded as the artist's first protective net or spokesperson.

Joseph actually talked about managers with Hugo since the end of 1992, but Hugo has never been able to find a suitable candidate. Of course, on the one hand, it’s also because the first manager is not a priority. After all, Hugo hasn’t. Reach a sufficient height.

It is not so simple to find an object that oneself trusts and can handle all performing arts affairs at the same time. Hugo is unable to find a suitable partner for relatives or buddies. The main reason is that Hugo entered Hollywood when he was fourteen. He has only a handful of friends, and the alumni of Yale University are not close.

But now, Joseph is obviously the best choice.

It is only natural that Joseph is fully familiar with performing arts affairs. At the same time, Joseph's current connections and crisis capabilities have been proven. Recently, a series of methods of dealing with Tracy can be seen in Joseph's current methods and vision.

But what about the most important part of trust for managers?

Although Hugo and Joseph have had a fierce quarrel in the past few months~www.readwn.com~ and their trust has also encountered a crisis, Hugo will not deny that Joseph is the first to know after crossing over. One person, and two people experienced the lowest period of struggle after the Golden Raspberry Award. It can be said that Joseph is Hugo's most trusted object in this time and space, second only to his father Adam.

Moreover, this friendship will stand the test even more after collision and polishing. Of course, Hugo will not deny that risks still exist, but this fact is that there is no risk-free relationship in the world. Even Hugo’s mother Lina would choose to leave the family, so other relationships are even more so. Up. However, after so many things, Hugo is willing to try.

If Joseph can serve as his own manager, many things will immediately become clear, including the recent escalation of corner-digging turmoil and the power game within international innovation management companies.

¨ Joe, did you know that maybe you can be my manager, that sounds like a good idea. "
