Lang is so confident, of course for a reason. First of all, he knew that "Shawshank's Redemption" was the item Hugo hoped to get, so he did what he wanted and guaranteed that he could extract his teeth from Tim Robbins, which was enough to make Hugo heart-stirring; secondly, nine At the beginning of the decade, the commercial action frenzy led by a group of action superstars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone also made action movies an important step for male actors to climb the sky. No one can Reject this kind of temptation. 'Confused'.
Hugo knows that Lang's two chips are indeed very attractive. People, very few people can refuse, even if he does. But Hugo also knows that Lang must have asked for something when Lang said that it was "flowers" and "chaos". As for whether the project can be negotiated, it is not Lang who makes the final decision. In short, Lang is now drawing a big pie, but whether the pie can be eaten in Hugo's stomach depends on Hugo's ability—and the decision of the production company.
Therefore, even if Hugo felt his heart beating violently, he still forced himself to calm down. He tightly shook his right hand in his pocket, and then looked at Lang, "Even if your chips are heavy. , But what I am after is not something I can afford." In fact, this is a rejection. This is the second consecutive time that Hugo refused to give Lang any room for change.
Re-cooperating with Lang, in Hugo's view, is to seek skin with a tiger. This is actually not much different from cooperating with Tracy, but Hugo is unwilling to rely on the strength of others to seek the future, because in the final analysis, he still has to rely on himself. What's more, Joseph is an agent and a friend at the same time. Hugo doesn't think he will choose to betray his friends. Even if Joseph made a mistake not long ago, he is still his friend.
"Hugo, you think too much." Lang looked at Hugo's eyes firmly, he knew that Hugo is a hard bone, not so easy to gnaw off, so he decided to step back a little bit, "You think I want What are you pursuing? It's not what you think." Lang quickly took a step back, raised his hands, calmed his anxious temper a little, and said, "I'm an agent. What I am after is the "draw". I will come to you, but I just think these two projects are suitable for you. If the cooperation is reached through my hands, then the "draw" will be given to me, even if there is no contract between us. It is still possible to "draw" in accordance with the company contract. Other than that, I have no other ideas."
Lang decided not to mention Hugo tearing up the brokerage contract with Joseph for the time being, and using these two 'baits' to reach cooperation with Hugo for the time being, at least it could ease the relationship. Moreover, if you complete the cooperation of two large projects through your own hands, even if Hugo is still not an actor under his own hands, this will be of great benefit to your position in the company-any broker who can bring benefits to the company People are welcome.
Hugo was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lang to say this. Although he didn't know why Lang would choose to take a step back. After all, Hugo only knew a little about the relationship between the internal interests of the brokerage company; but Hugo can be sure. One point is that Lang is willing to fly to Philadelphia in person, and still extend an olive branch to himself. This benefit must be large enough.
Although Hugo did not know that Tracy had temporarily abandoned Lang, and he did not know how serious the current situation in the company for power struggles, but he knew very well that there is no free lunch in the world.
Lang sensed that Hugo's footsteps had stopped-although it was because he was directly blocked in front of Hugo, he could still find that Hugo's brain was obviously starting to work, so Lang immediately saw a seam in the needle. , "In addition to'Shawshank Redemption', another project is called'speed'."
Lang is using all his time to show his chips to Hugo, which shakes Hugo's heart to the greatest extent, "Currently Quentin Tarantino () and Renny Haring (Renny.) are directors. Candidate."
The most common feature of these three directors is that they have their own understanding of action movies. Quentin relied on a "Falling Water Dog (. to be born last year, and Rennie's most famous work is "Die Hard 2", Jane No director's work has appeared yet, but as a photographer, he has been seen in works such as "Instinct. Ability", "Die Hard" and "Lethal Weapon 3". It is worth mentioning that Rennie once worked with Hugo on the cursive "Detective Warrior".
"The'female' protagonist chooses between Halle Berry (halle. Berry) and Sandra Bullock." Halle is currently a newcomer, but "Stealing the Mood ( neutralizes Eddie Murphy. But Sandra's partner won a good reputation; so did Sandra. The collaboration between "The Over-the-air Dragon ( and Sylvester Stallone won her a place in the circle. "As for the male protagonist, Johnny De Pu, Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, and Tom Hanks are all alternate candidates."
Lang snapped a lot of speeches in one breath. In fact, he was exaggerating the importance of the work "Speed of Life and Death". Twentieth Century Fox invested 30 million yuan to create this action movie. It was obviously a lot of money. Fine'powerful. After speaking, Lang couldn't help feeling a little short of breath, and began to breathe quickly. Sure enough, smoking for many years has an effect on his lung capacity.
Unfortunately, Hugo didn't seem to be listening at all, which made Langpo a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect Hugo to react like this.
In fact, Hugo did not listen. He already knew about this work after hearing "Life and Death". This movie can also be regarded as one of the best works of 1994, which made Keanu Reeves and Sandra famous. Bullock also won technical awards in the Oscars that year. The most important thing is that the box office has achieved great success, and the word-of-mouth has also won unanimous praise. It is always a rare opportunity for action movies to see word-of-mouth and a win-win at the box office. work.
Since Hugo's journey, the works that Hugo has come into contact with during this period of time are actually excellent works. They have not encountered the so-called "bad films" in the true sense. The main reason is that they have been around 1994. Here, Hollywood has entered a period of blowout, one after another, the only difference may be the size of the impact.
It's like "Life and Death Speed", although it is impossible to win some acting awards, but the huge box office success also continues the ability of action movies to make stars. The two protagonists of Keanu and Sandra overnight Just touch the edge of the line in between. During this time, overnight fame was not a problem in Hollywood at all, and opportunities were everywhere.
Of course, duds such as "Hudson's Eagle" and "Detective Strange Soldiers" also exist. Actors still have to be vigilant and not be "fan" or "spoiled" by Hollywood songs and dances.
Although Hugo still doesn't have any good feelings for Lang, he still has to admit Lang's ability to work-Hugo has never denied this. Lang came to Philadelphia with two works of "Shawshank's Salvation" and "Speed of Life and Death". , Can be said to be holding a huge bargaining chip, almost holding Hugo's posture without any strength to fight back.
However, it is a pity that Hugo still has no plans to cooperate with Lang. For Lang, crossing the river, dismantling bridges, unloading the grit and killing the donkey, is simply commonplace for Lang. He does not want to repeat the same mistakes, and he does not allow himself to betray his friends.
"Lang, you are a smart person. You know what the actors want, so you are a successful agent." Hugo said with a smile looking at Lang who was panting. This made Lang's expression brighter. , Hugo is sending a positive signal, but then Hugo went on to say, "But I already have an outstanding agent, so I think you want to trade with the chips. I have no way to provide it."
Lang's brows instantly frowned. His first reaction was to lose his temper, but there was still a voice deep in his heart calling out: This is not the time to lose his temper, so he forced himself to calm down, "Hugo, I didn't ask for anything, I just provided two projects. I am a middleman, not a broker."
"Is that really the case? You and I are not children anymore." If Rick or Carl came here today, Hugo would be willing to believe this, but the other party is Lang, which is impossible. Because this argument only applies to friends, and it must be between friends who have a good relationship to have this kind of "selfishness" approach. Obviously Lang and Hugo can't be regarded as friends at all.
Looking at the gentle smile on Hugo's face, Lang felt extremely ironic, and suddenly the nameless fire broke out and couldn't help it anymore, "Hugo Lancaster! What a good agent I am, You should be very clear that Joseph's infamous role cannot bring you more jobs. I took the initiative to come to Philadelphia, but I don't want you to be ruined in Joseph's hands. Don't be ignorant of my sincerity. Exalt, you know, without my help, relying only on Joseph, you are at your current level, and there is no way to have a better future!"
Sure enough, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lang's temper was his fatal wound, and he quickly vented. In the face of Lang's anger, Hugo became more used to it. He smiled calmly, "I don't know that the agent has the ability to predict the future. Have you ever received the secret instructions from the wizards of the tribe?"
Hugo's ridicule completely caused Lang to lose his mind, and the swear words burst out directly, "Who the **** do you think you are, you are the shit, and there will never be any way! Looking at such a **** good opportunity, but I don't know who you are, do you think you are a unique benchmark in Hollywood? I babble! Don't pretend to be'forced', otherwise you will end up being a group of strong men. Round.'rape'. In addition to selling **** to Apart from the "female" producer, what ability do you have?"
Facing Lang who was like a mad dog, Hugo didn't bite back like a dog, but went straight ahead, leaving Lang standing alone in the clearing and cursing. Then, the scolding gradually calmed down, and Lang stood in the clearing, panting heavily, kicking the stone in front of him fiercely, looking fiercely at Hugo's back, his face was ``yin'' and sunny. indefinite.
Hugo Lancaster, I'm just waiting to see your future end!
