Luke's mouth opened wide in surprise, his eyes stared at Joseph with an expression of disbelief, and Director Hank, who was complaining endlessly, also stopped his mouth, and he also realized that something was wrong at this time.

"Joseph, what did you say?" After a moment, Luke, who came back to his senses, glared at Joseph and asked loudly, "Damn, do you know how much manpower and money it took me to pick you up?"

"Luke, I've made a lot of money for you over the years, and I'll pay the liquidated damages in full. Joseph replied very calmly.

He didn't want to care about Luke's words, just like the one he mentioned, he had also made a lot of money for Luke over the years, and it was much more than Luke had invested at the beginning, but he wouldn't settle the account with Luke, he just wanted to get together with this agent who had worked with him for many years.

But Luke clearly didn't want to get together like this.

"Listen, Joseph, you and I have one year left in the contract, everything is easy for us to discuss, do you think your share is less, it doesn't matter, we can talk about this, and you don't know, I have recently prepared a new contract for you, I am willing to give up ten percent of the share, you should be able to feel my sincerity. ”

"If you want, we can sign this new contract now, and everything you say today will be a dream for me, and as long as you sleep, I will forget it all, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, we will be close and good friends. ”

"And don't you want to know what my plan for you is next, see the director of Hank over there, you will be the actor of this 50 million investment movie, and your salary will also exceed 3 million dollars, which is a full 30% increase from your previous salary. ”

"Joseph, believe me, only I can make you fame and fortune, whether that bastard tempts you, you just have to tell that bastard that Luke is your best partner, understand?"

Luke is like a kindergarten teacher at this time, teaching Joseph, a precious child, and promising him countless seemingly sweet sweets to bring Joseph back into his arms.

Of course, in Luke's eyes, Joseph at this time is more like a cash cow, although it is not thick enough, but for an agent like him, it is enough.

Anyway, he must stabilize Joseph first, as for who dared to dig him down, Luke thought that when Lao Tzu dealt with Joseph's affairs, he must find out, and then give the other party a profound lesson.

Originally, Luke thought that his 'true confession' would at least make Joseph hesitate, after all, in his mind, Joseph was a very kind-hearted and soft-hearted child.

But what he didn't expect at all was that Joseph didn't take any of the candies he tossed, ignoring them falling to the ground without even looking at them, and even Joseph took a few steps backwards.

"Yesterday's father's words were indeed true, this person only cares about profits. Joseph thought to himself.

He had read the script of "Maneater", it was just an outline, and the specific script had not come out, but this Luke seemed to have already taken over the script for himself.

And listen to what he said, it's all about remuneration and salary, and he didn't mention the planning and future of this movie at all, just like his father said, there are only simple interests in his eyes.

While Joseph was thinking, Hank, who had been silent on the side, finally spoke up at Luke's signal.

"Boy, I don't know who poured you what ecstasy soup, when you have to understand that in this industry, credibility is the most important thing, you tear up the contract in advance, if this matter spreads in the circle, then you can't do an inch. ”

"Oh, Hank, please don't say that, Joseph is just a ghost for a while, believe me, his heart is still on my side, isn't it?"

The two of them sang with a white face and a red face, and Joseph easily saw through their purpose, which was nothing more than to threaten himself with such inferior means, adding sweet dates with a stick, and making himself obedient.

But how could Joseph, who had obtained Nie Wei's promise, care about their threats, and even less look down on the 'sweet dates' they threw over.

Joseph took a deep breath and said solemnly to Luke again, "I'm sorry, I've made up my mind. ”

"And I'm not discussing this matter with you, Luke, for the sake of so many years of cooperation, that's why I want to tell you personally, from now on, our contract is over, and I will pay the liquidated damages I ask to pay to your account within twenty-four hours. ”

"Joseph, shut up for me!" Seeing that Joseph was still stubborn, Luke finally couldn't pretend anymore.

After yelling at Joseph, Luke held back his anger and said to Director Hank on the side: "Director Hank, I'm sorry today, but please believe me, I will solve all this, and then I will take the initiative to contact you again." ”

"I hope so. Hank looked at Luke, then at Joseph, snorted, and left the office.

As soon as Hank left, Luke immediately glared at Joseph, a disobedient child in his eyes, with a fierce gaze.

"Joseph, I didn't want to get to this point, but you forced me. ”

"Do you know how many contracts you have on you now? If you don't complete this, you don't want to leave me, tell you, those liquidated damages will make you bankrupt and can't pay it back, so you'd better continue to cooperate with me honestly, otherwise you will be ruined in court!"

This time it was Joseph's turn to be surprised: "Luke, what are you talking about, I don't understand, I'm on rest now, I haven't taken any work." ”

"No, you did, and a lot. Luke smiled mockingly and said, "Do you want me to show you the contracts?" they all have your autographs, and I'm sure you'll change your mind after reading the default amount on those contracts." ”

After finishing speaking, Luke ignored Joseph's shocked expression, and directly took out a stack of contracts from a drawer on the side and threw them in front of Joseph.

Joseph hurriedly picked up these contracts and flipped them down one by one, and the cold sweat on his forehead became more and more.

"I didn't sign these contracts at all, Luke, it's all your fake!" Joseph looked at Luke, his eyes were full of shock, fear and strangeness, even if he thought of Luke badly, he never thought that this agent would forge his signature and privately accept so many advertisements, commercial performances and scripts for himself.

"There is another year, this year we will work together well, and then we will get together and disperse, but if you are still as disobedient as you are today, then I will take these contracts and die with you. Luke's eyes were red and he said with a frantic expression.

Joseph forced himself to calm down, silently looked at Luke who looked like he was crazy, and without saying a word, he immediately left Luke's office.

Five minutes later, Joseph returned to his car, quickly took out his mobile phone, and quickly dialed Nie Wei's number.

In his mind, only Nie Wei could save him at this moment.

Working with Luke for another year, Joseph didn't dare to think about it anymore, just now in Luke's office, looking at Luke's forged so many contracts on his signature, Joseph already had a fear of Luke in his heart.

This is a terrible person, almost like a devil, and Joseph had no idea that he would cooperate with such a person for so many years.

Father's dislike is not without reason, but he certainly can't imagine that this Luke will be so bad.

Joseph took a deep breath as he waited for the phone to connect, thinking for half a minute, and just as he was anxiously about hanging up the phone and calling again, the call finally came through.

"Nie Wei, who is it?" Joseph was just about to say hello when he heard a muffled female voice on the other side of the phone, and suddenly stopped.

He suddenly realized that the timing of his call was very inappropriate.

"Joseph, is there anything urgent about calling so late?" What made Joseph breathe a sigh of relief was that Nie Wei's words did not have any feelings of dissatisfaction and irritability after being disturbed, and it was still so refreshing.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Nie. Joseph apologized first, and then immediately seized the time and briefly told Nie Wei about the fact that Luke had forged his signature and signed a large number of contracts today.

"That person is simply the devil, and he also threatened me, saying that if I don't continue to cooperate with him, he will drag me to hell with me, Mr. Nie, now only you can help me. ”

Joseph asked for help, he was like a drowning man, and there was a huge ship in front of him, and if it had only pulled him, he believed that he would be rescued.

"Well, you're saying he forged all those contracts, right?"

"That's right, Mr. Nie, I dare to swear to God, I didn't sign even a single letter! The terrible thing is that those signatures are exactly like mine, I don't know what to do, can you teach me?"

"Joseph, things are not as terrible as you think, listen to me, take the contract you signed with your agent, and go to Max Films, someone will help you solve everything. Nie Wei said very calmly.

In his opinion, Joseph's matter was really nothing.

After all, he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he has seen a lot of this kind of agent carrying the artist's money contract and even recovering the deduction, how to solve these black-hearted agents, Nie Wei has hundreds of ways.

Nie Wei's calm tone made Joseph no longer so scared, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately drove back to the apartment where he lived, found the contract he had signed, and then immediately took the contract and drove to Max Films.

To be honest, he himself couldn't figure out what method Nie Wei would use to help him, but in his heart he just believed that Nie Wei could solve his troubles, which was a kind of trust for no reason, and he didn't even seek help from his parents.

Joseph drove for more than half an hour and finally arrived at Max Films.

Looking at the Max Film building, Joseph straightened his collar, although he has not signed a contract with this company, but if there is no accident, he will soon become a member of this company, and this is the first time he has come to this company, and he is full of curiosity and expectation about the people and things in the building.

Of course, these curiosity and expectations were suppressed by the annoyance for the time being, and without thinking too much, Joseph immediately walked into the building with the contract, eager to seize every minute and every second and solve his problems as soon as possible.

Entering the building, Joseph was suddenly a little confused, Nie Wei just asked him to come to Max Films, saying that someone would help him solve his troubles, but he didn't tell himself who that person was, and who he was looking for now?

Just when Joseph was hesitating whether he wanted to call Nie Wei again, a Max Film staff member came over after seeing Joseph.

"Mr. Joseph, our president is already waiting for you in the conference room, please come with me. ”

"Huh? Joseph was surprised, and at the same time subconsciously kept up with the footsteps of the staff, thinking in his mind who would be the president he was talking about, and it wouldn't be the upstart Thomas in the industry, right?

When he was led by the staff to the door of the conference room and pushed the door to see the first person he saw, his conjecture was confirmed, it was really the upstart in the industry, Thomas Films, the president of Max Films.

For a while, Joseph's heart was very moved, he really didn't expect that Nie Wei would let Thomas personally come forward to help him solve the trouble, but at the same time, he was also determined in his heart, with the president of this big Hollywood company coming forward, what is Luke?

However, to Joseph's surprise, in addition to Thomas, there were six or seven people sitting in the conference room, all dressed in crisp suits and looking like social elites.

"Joseph, you're here. Seeing Joseph enter the house, Thomas greeted with a smile.

"Hello, President Thomas, I'm Joseph and it's a pleasure to meet you. Joseph hurriedly replied, and at the same time scolded himself in his heart, he was stunned at such a critical time, and he should have taken the initiative to greet him.

"Young man, did you bring your contract? The chairman has already told me that we will quickly help you solve your little troubles, and it will be a gift for you to enter the company. Thomas looked at Joseph and said with a smile.

Thomas is also evaluating this young man in his heart, after all, this is the first artist Nie Wei personally signed into the company, and it is also the first artist signed by Max Film's brokerage department.

In her opinion, Joseph's appearance is really good, but his height is hard, he is only about 1.75 meters long, and among Hollywood actors, his height is actually below average.

Joseph didn't know what Thomas said about him, and after listening to Thomas's words, he immediately handed the brokerage contract to the barristers, and at the same time he was secretly surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that in order to help him solve the problem, Max Film would send a team of lawyers.

While the lawyers were checking the brokerage contract between Joseph and Luke, Thomas was also chatting with Joseph.

"Joseph, how are you going to solve Luke's matter, do you want to teach him a profound lesson, or just let him go so gently?"

"I think people like him should be taught a profound lesson. Joseph replied firmly.

"Then don't worry, in Hollywood, no one can get away with bullying our actors, Max Films will definitely get justice for you, and it will also teach that person a hard lesson. Thomas said confidently.

Joseph's eyes began to sparkle, and Thomas's confident and powerful words really infected him, and he began to involuntarily give birth to a feeling of pride in Max Films.
