A few weeks ago, Aldon officially "broken" with Wallace. They completely broke up. He put all the ugly words on the table, and for the first time in history, he rejected Wallace in person. After choosing the team and leaving home, he found his destination in Lu Ke's villa.
However, the break was not a break in the literal sense - it was just an ideological independence and respect, because the bond between Alton and Wallace was too deep.
All aspects of their lives are entangled together, and even their families are so entangled that they cannot be separated at all. If Wallace is completely removed from Aldon's life, it is basically equivalent to cutting off Aldon's entire life. Then he will fall into a desperate situation of being alone. He can't do it, and he doesn't have the courage to exert himself like this. Life is really too difficult to cut through the mess with a knife.
Aldon and Wallace have found a way to get along: Wallace should not dictate Aldon's training and competition, but other than that, the two still maintain the same lifestyle they have grown up with, and Wallace still maintains the same lifestyle. Controls Aldon’s salary and other income.
To a certain extent, Wallace is similar to a manager - not an agent, but a manager. Such a position is very common in Hollywood. It can be simply understood that an agent is responsible for external affairs and a manager is responsible for internal affairs.
Brokers are intermediaries. They are responsible for negotiating cooperation projects, looking for cooperation opportunities, exploring cooperation possibilities, and integrating the resources of all job opportunities. Real estate agents are also a type of broker; managers are a type of Housekeepers work, they are responsible for all internal work, establishing a bridge between agents and players or artists, and are also responsible for supervising the management of assistants, public relations, makeup, bodyguards and other chores.
In the normal process, when an agent finds a sponsorship endorsement, he will first forward the project proposal to the manager, who will be responsible for preliminary review. After approval, it will be forwarded to the players or the artists themselves, who will make the final decision. Of course, signing requires players or artists to do it in person.
According to industry regulations, agents can only draw commissions, which is 3% of players’ income; managers can not only draw commissions, but also get project commissions. Therefore, most managers are the closest to players or artists. The people you trust the most are responsible, and the most common ones are family and friends.
In the entertainment industry and the professional arena, similar situations often occur. Agents and managers do not communicate well. In the end, the manager makes irresponsible remarks in front of the players, resulting in the agent being fired, which in turn affects the player's future planning; or It is the manager who is seeking his own interests - for example, a sponsor buys off the manager, bypasses the agent, and directly hands the sponsorship cooperation agreement to the player himself, which empties the agent's power, leads to internal strife in the team, and then seriously affects the agent's relationship with the player. The positioning of players destroys the commercial value of players.
This kind of situation is not uncommon, but because of the close relationship, players and artists more often choose to trust managers rather than agents. After all, agents are intermediaries and outsiders, while managers are their own people. Therefore, managers People must be chosen carefully.
Now, Wallace's job is similar to that of a manager, but the reason why I say "similar" is because Aldon did not pay Wallace extra salary——
Anyway, all the expenses of the entire big family are paid by Aldon alone, so he does not see the need to pay extra salary. Naturally, Wallace does not have the title of "manager". However, in actual work content, Wallace is basically the same as a manager.
Obviously, Wallace was restless at home, and his greed and desire began to stir again. In just one month of "reformation," Aldon successfully relaxed his vigilance, and seemed to have returned to the happy days of his youth; but Secretly, Wallace is brewing a storm.
Tonight, the storm officially started.
What should he do?
Aldon fell into a dazed mood. He couldn't even open his mouth to make a sound. The bitterness of confusion and despair made his mind go blank, "Bambi, how serious is the matter?"
Aldon heard his own voice, but it was like a stranger speaking. He was outside his body and heard the familiar yet unfamiliar voice. As a result, he was startled, and then he realized: Deep in his heart , he knew that this matter was definitely not as simple as he thought, otherwise, Lu Ke would not talk to him in person - he had reprimanded himself many times, but he had never said anything bad about Wallace behind his back.
but now……
Aldon himself didn't even realize that his expression was stiff and he couldn't make any expression at all. Compared with Lu Ke, who entered the league in the same year, Aldon was still too immature.
Lu Ke did not relent, but he did not exaggerate. "Today he can make arrangements for me, and tomorrow he can make arrangements for anyone on the team. Think about it, if the target today is Justin or Navarro, then now What will the situation be like?”
A simple sentence made Aldon depressed.
It’s not that Justin or Navarro are prone to semen, but that they have short tempers, are easily fooled, and are prone to outbursts, so things may get out of hand tonight.
To make matters worse, after the media broke the news, they will also suffer more condemnation - people do not believe that Lu Ke would do this, but believe that Justin and Navolo may become suspects, and the pressure will increase exponentially. When they realize that Hualai When Shi is the mastermind behind the scenes, there will inevitably be a bloody storm in the locker room.
From a certain perspective, fortunately, it was Lu Ke who was tricked by Wallace tonight, and Lu Ke successfully nipped the matter in the bud.
"But..." Aldon couldn't think now and just responded based on instinct.
Before he finished speaking, Lu Ke already knew in advance, "He will do this."
What Aldon wanted to argue was that Wallace had no reason to attack other players, and the matter was not as dangerous as imagined, but Lu Ke cut off Aldon's words, "You and they are competing for the starting position, as long as it may hinder the If your interests get in the way of his, he won't let you go. I haven't even mentioned the possibility of colluding with other managers to disrupt the locker room."
Aldon opened his mouth, and then froze: because he knew that Lu Ke was right.
Looking at the lost Aldong, Lu Ke couldn't bear it, but at the same time, he was also a little nervous. He didn't know and wasn't sure how Aldong would choose. This returned to the original situation in the villa, and this time, he It's cruel to "become" Wallace and force Aldon to make a choice.
If someone said, either give up Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, or leave the San Francisco 49ers; or, more realistically, either give up Logan, or leave the San Francisco 49ers... To be honest, Lu Ke didn't know what to do.
When we, as bystanders, point fingers at other people's lives, the principles are very simple, one after another, and everything seems to be very simple; but when things happen to us, we find that those principles are exactly the source of our own pain. The right choice doesn’t mean the easy one – you don’t know if the shoe fits until you actually put it on, and that’s life.
Now, looking at Aldong's confusion, Lu Ke also felt a little cruel, as if his hands were covered in blood.
But Lu Ke still forced himself to calm down and told himself that he was making the right choice for the sake of the team and for Aldon.
Ardon was silent like this for a long time. His eyes that gradually lost their focus and focus seemed to have lost their ability to respond, and time stopped like this.
For Lu Ke, this was also a kind of torture. In fact, the best way to cut through the mess quickly is to remove hair with beeswax. Gradually tearing it apart is the real torture; but... he is not sure whether his aggressiveness will make Aldon crazy. He is also in trouble now. among.
Trent took the initiative to take over this mess for this reason. He hoped that Lu Ke could focus on training and competition, and leave the off-field matters to him. If Aldon bit Lu Ke regardless, or even broke his face, Then the consequences would be very serious; but Lu Ke took the initiative to come forward for a similar reason. He is the captain of the team, and he has the responsibility and obligation to talk to Aldon face to face. What's more, Wallace's target was Lu Ke.
Just as Lu Ke was considering his words and was about to think about the band-aid in one go, Aldon's voice sounded low again, "What should I do?" Then, he slowly raised his head, his voice was slightly choked and his vision was a little dazed, " Bambi, tell me, what should I do?"
Not a vent of anger, but a desperate cry for help.
Lu Ke thought about it seriously, "Aldong, I don't understand the bond between you, but I don't want you to make a choice. You should let AJ make a choice."
"You and AJ can still be friends, but they can only be friends. He should not interfere with your work or be responsible for your daily life. He is just a friend. Or, he can continue to be your friend, just like when you were a child. or, he must withdraw from your life, this is his choice." Lu Ke gave his own thoughts, cruel and cold thoughts, but also the best solution at this stage.
The choice is in Wallace's hands. He can choose to stay in Aldon's life, but stop being greedy, and stop trying to interfere; similarly, he can choose to break up and break up completely. At first, Wallace forced Aldon to make a choice, but now, Aldon has made his own choice - he chose a career. Then, the right to choose comes to Wallace. Next, it depends on Wallace. Decided.
Things are complicated, but also very simple. What could have been a peaceful situation turned to another extreme because of Wallace's own choices.
Then everything became bloody.
None of us want to grow up, because we all know deep down that growing up requires paying too many prices, just like Aldon at this time.
