"Why bother to go there in person? The invitation letter will arrive during working hours tomorrow!"
Liu Qingshan said with careful concern that this news was also obtained through Ge Daquan.
"It is Earl Snowdon's personal wish, and we left two days before we formally submitted the invitation to your country. Earl Snowdon personally told us that we must meet Mr. Liu in person, and we must invite Mr. Liu !”
Liu Qingshan nodded. He knew that there was a deeper shadow behind this matter, because the earl had not even seen the shadow of George VI with his own eyes, so he should also be a spokesperson.
Before he could reply, Thompson held up a leather briefcase with both hands, and the delicate umbrella was tucked under his arm.
There are two letters QC on the briefcase. After explanation, I learned that it is the abbreviation of Queen's Counsel, the full name of the British royal family's legal adviser.
Inside was a golden invitation letter with hollow edges, a stack of relevant certificates issued by the British royal family, and a check.
"The check is the royal standard of 1,500 pounds. This is just a photocopy. The relevant departments in your country will deliver it together with two tickets tomorrow. Could you please reveal the name of the other invitee? I can give it to you in time. Call our embassy to add it!”
Liu Qingshan has already sought Jin Xishan's opinion on this issue, "You don't have to worry about this matter. I will submit the relevant documents of a female friend to the relevant personnel tomorrow!"
If it weren't for Ge Daquan's reminder, he wouldn't have known the secret, not to mention that Jin Xishan was still a foreigner.
After sending the visitor away, Liu Qingshan opened the pile of certification letters. With it, it was like having some of the authority of a diplomat. At least he had special treatment when entering and exiting the customs.
When he returned, he stuffed it directly into his clothes and didn't want to talk about it.
When I returned to my residence in the evening, I immediately dialed Jin Xishan's phone number.
The other side has obviously been waiting, and the eager surprise can be heard in the tone: "I didn't expect that it was actually invited by a member of the royal family over there. I have never read your script. What is written specifically has alarmed the British nobles. Got it!"
"We'll discuss these things in person. I think someone from a certain department will come to ask for your cooperation tomorrow. Prepare your passport and other things in advance. I haven't seen the ticket. I should leave in the next two days!"
The invitation letter states that you can bring one person with you. Of course, you can also bring other people with you, but the other party is no longer responsible for the travel expenses and whether you have the qualifications to enter the meeting place.
"Are you coming back tomorrow? Just the two of us? Will you take Sister Xuan Ji and Shi Hui with you?"
"Bring them all, and let Sister Jinghua also inform you. If we have time, we will pay for it ourselves!"
"Take her with you? Will there be an invitation for you there?"
"Be prepared in advance so that you don't get caught blind when the time comes. She can't be left out if she's not going to answer the call or not. Shi Hui doesn't have that ability, and she's not up to par with the language!"
"It just so happens that the album recording has been completed, and I also want to take this opportunity to go out for a walk with you. I have been trapped since I met you. I used to go out for a walk every year!"
The TV series she participated in was officially launched now, and the ratings were okay, but Jin Xishan was not the number one heroine, and Liu Qingshan didn't care.
And "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in which he participated is designated as the opening drama of the National Television, and the official launch time is January 1 next year.
Anyway, we will meet tomorrow, and the call time between the two of them will not be long.
The next day, he, Kunal and others took the morning flight back. When they left, the crew of "Kung Fu" was still sleeping soundly due to the hangover from last night.
When he got home before lunch, Jin Xishan had already prepared lunch. In addition to Shi Hui, Park Hyun Ji, Chen Zuming, Aishwarya, there were also four children, Wang Huansheng and Wang Jinghua.
Park Huizhen and Yu Yi arrived later, bringing roast duck and some braised products.
"Someone came here in the morning and took away Xishan's passport and other identity information. They said someone would come when you come back!"
Wang Huansheng said and handed something in his hand: "This is what Director Ge sent, some information about the British royal family, as well as a manual for people who go abroad on official business. He also asked you to give him a call when you come back. Telephone!"
Liu Qingshan walked to the balcony on the second floor to make a call, and said there: "The relevant departments attach great importance to it, and now I have almost become your personal assistant, the transfer point for contact with the authorities!"
"It's not because you are qualified enough. I would like to find Director Zhang, but his status as a national TV station is not high enough!"
Director Zhang is Zhang Peinian, the director of the International Liaison Office of National Television and one of Liu Qingshan’s only official friends.
"You're the only one who knows how to trouble me all the time! This time you were invited, which attracted the attention of insiders. I told you to tell me to put away your careless look when you go out and buy some formal clothes that fit you. You must speak politely and politely, neither humble nor arrogant! Also, don’t say what you can’t say. You must restrain the charlatanism in your bones and forget about your status as a master for the time being!”
"I'm going, right? I'm not one of your people. No one pays me insurance or pays me wages. Why should I be held to the standards of a state worker?"
"You don't want it to be easy? Just fill out the form and I can put you in the department you want to go to! This is not my personal opinion. Someone has already taken a liking to you!"
"Yes, yes, I didn't tell you! It's my first time going abroad, and I don't have much experience, especially when it comes to the other party's identity. Do I have to contact the local embassy when I go abroad?"
"More than just contact, I guess they will pick you up directly at the airport, or someone will follow you to your appointment!"
"Then do I need to bear the name of a certain visiting group? This way, my trip and that of the people around me will be reimbursed!"
"Go, go, don't act stupid here. Have you ever seen an entertainment star who needs such grand treatment when going abroad? Besides, the person who wants to see you is just a relative of the British royal family. He has an empty title and a free salary. Is that all?"
Liu Qingshan curled his lips to expose him: "Do you really think so? Or did someone ask you to say so?"
"Okay, okay, you may be invited to visit the palace and even meet the queen herself. But this is just a guess. You can't get emotional because you haven't achieved it. Your identity is thousands of miles away!"
"Actually, I really want to meet him, so that I can satisfy my vanity, and I can brag about it when I return to China! But personally, I think it is impossible to meet him this time, at least before the movie is filmed. So, I promised to go there. He has his own purpose, and after all, he still has an identity as an actor!"
"You mean taking the opportunity to meet some big directors and stars? England is not even a little bit worse than Hollywood. Can you meet a few people who will be useful in the future? I think Martin Scorsese is more reliable! Yes! Now, when I talk about this person, I think of another thing. Is Scorsese’s wife named Helen? Are you related to her World Vision Association? How come their China Ministry found relevant departments to know about you? You just told me about soliciting you to participate in charity before, but now there has been concrete progress?"
"Not yet, but this time I go to London to meet Mrs. Helen, and maybe I can know my specific identity in the future!"
"Well, this matter is more important than your script. Remember to notify me in time if there is any progress, so that I can report it to the relevant parties!"
"Didn't you just say you found it troublesome, and now you ask me to report it on my own initiative?"
"I am an intermediary. Can my personal will be stronger than the will of the country? Someone is paying attention to this matter. It is a major event related to poverty alleviation. I am unwilling and dare not slack off! By the way, I went there to fight. Give me a call, he is my old buddy, if you have any problems or requests, you can go to him directly!"
After reporting the phone number, Ge Daquan hung up the phone with a bang. Although Liu Qingshan couldn't hear the sound on the other side, he could feel the suddenness.
He grinned, knowing that Ge Daquan was extremely happy at the moment. Not just anyone could be this intermediary, at least there was a heavy trust in it.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, someone came to the door. Judging by their attire, I knew they were official staff.
There were three people, two men and one woman, who called Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan into a room separately for questioning.
However, their attitude is very kind, they are not resistant to tea and cigarettes, and they are not serious about business.
After seeing off a few people, Jin Xishan came to the lobby with the tickets. Many people gathered around to watch. What they were concerned about was when to leave and how many days the trip would take.
Jin Xishan pointed at Wang Huansheng and others and said: "You, Shi Hui, Sister Xuanji, and Sister Jinghua are going with us. Our names have been reported. They said that we don't have to pay for the air tickets for the time being. As long as our trip is successful, the country will pay for it for us." These extra expenses!”
Liu Qingshan walked in from the outside, carrying a plastic bag in his hand. It was some information left by the visitor. It was also about precautions. They had forgotten it in the car just now.
There was one more lawyer Wang than the previously designated quota, and it was also reminded by the visitors, because celebrities are in a foreign country, and having a lawyer by their side can help solve many things.
The children did not complain about this trip. Children aged 12 or 13 could already tell the difference between fun and serious business.
"Park Hye-jin will also go, but it will be in the name of MCC. Their group will be followed by two Hanguo reporters. They may take some photos on certain occasions. I have asked for my opinion in advance!"
Wang Jinghua always gets into the mood very quickly. He can even change the topic with just a change of tone. He has extremely strong communication skills.
Liu Qingshan asked in surprise: "MCC didn't even miss this opportunity? Do you dare to post the photos after taking them to promote Sister Xishan's album?"
Jin Xishan explained with a smile: "Before I have time to tell you, the company will take a few sets of promotional photos for me when I get there. Going to London for an appointment with you is also under the guise of finding sales for my records!"
Her current album is under the name Xueyu, but MCC headquarters will receive a portion of the sales commission, otherwise she would not cooperate with the production and promotion with such great fanfare.
This was also one of the pre-arranged agreements between Liu Qingshan and MCC. The reason why he did not completely break off the relationship with them was to ensure that Jin Xishan's album could successfully enter the cold market.
"Aishwarya and I are also in sister Huizhen's group. We mainly go out to relax and help her buy some clothes and so on!"
Chen Zuming said with a smile, this information was also unknown to Liu Qingshan.
