Earl Snowdon arrived early in the morning and naturally did not have time to have breakfast. The Chinese breakfast at the embassy made him feel delicious.
With his status, of course he is no stranger to Chinese breakfast, but the embassy's breakfast chef hired a Cantonese chef. Today's breakfast not only tastes good, but also has an extremely rich variety, which is a bit like a Cantonese morning tea restaurant. mean.
After breakfast, he received a call, and the expression on his face slowly turned serious.
His subsequent explanation made many Chinese people angry and cursed.
Jing Limin, in particular, was so angry that he made a call to Bai Zhengcheng: "That police station went too far. The investigation results have come out. As expected, Campbell was bribed. He was on duty last night precisely because of his deliberate delay. , which delayed the dispatch of the police for nearly twenty minutes, this issue must be raised by the embassy with the strongest protest!"
In fact, these words also have an implicit meaning, which is to remind Bai Zhengcheng that he should ask for the conditions he needs to ask, because the British police will definitely not be happy for this news to spread.
I don't know what was replied on the phone, but Jing Limin was already smiling when he came back.
He did not shy away from other people present and told Liu Qingshan straightforwardly: "This matter is basically finalized. You are the veritable victim. Even if you killed those dozen people last night, all public opinion will stand on it." Over here!"
Earl Snowdon nodded: "As a Londoner, of course I hope for a good reputation for local public security, but as a friend of Mr. Liu, I firmly stand on his side, even if the final outcome of the incident is negative!"
Although his words are somewhat borrowed from others, he still has the status of a royal family. Being able to say such words at least shows that he has a subjective intention to establish a personal friendship with Liu Qingshan.
You must know that the self-superiority of the British aristocracy is even worse than the strict class hierarchy in India. It is really not simple to express this.
Of course Liu Qingshan knows the benefits of fishing in troubled waters: "Since we are friends, do you want to do a business here? Let's invest together, or fully support your capital investment, and then I will help you get a few business deals, so that your The investment will not be unrewarded for a long time!”
Everyone present looked confused. The topic changed a bit quickly. Why did it suddenly change from the shadow of the assassination incident to a business exchange? Is there anything serious?
Earl Snowdon was also confused, but after hearing Liu Qingshan's low-pitched explanation, he immediately became happy: "I know that Andy Serkis, the famous Gollum! What, you value him very much?" What is that Yimeizhi Film Studio?”
"Well, I'm very optimistic about it. The important thing is that Hollywood's DreamWorks Studio is also determined to win it. It's necessary to become one of the shareholders before they do! I'm afraid I can't do it on my own, so I want to help If your identity intervenes in advance, DreamWorks will really come to find you in the future. With their influence in Hollywood, we will only receive more rewards!"
"Then I don't need to invest. I can just try my best to help you achieve your goal? No problem, I've done this!"
"No, no, no, David, you haven't understood the key! I'm just an outsider, and I don't have any significant strength or fame. If Andy Serkis's Yimeizhi doesn't lack funds, I won't do it at all. Maybe he got involved. But you are different. Just your status as a royal family will make him look at you differently. My requirements are very low. I don’t even need any shares. I only need a few professional actors provided by Yimeizhi. Just go with the technicians!”
"Qingshan, what kind of motion capture technology is really promising?"
"There will still be fakes. Have you watched the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy? Do you think that kind of movie CG effects will become the market trend in the future?"
"Definitely. I understand. The image of Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings" is motion capture technology! Okay, I decided to invest, but I can't get much at the same time. Do you have a specific amount?"
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "I haven't been in contact with him yet, and I don't know his psychological price. But if we only ask for 30%, we estimate that it will not exceed three million pounds. If it is more, it will exceed Yimeizhi." The potential market value of the movie studio belongs to his lion. We can completely give up 1"
"Okay, let's use this number as the upper limit. I'll prepare funds when I get back."
"There is no need to rush this matter. You can do some market research first. After all, this is just my personal opinion. It is more important to combine the suggestions of some experts. It's just that few people are paying attention to this business. You must remember to control the leakage of information, otherwise If other people are involved, it won’t be worth three million!”
"I understand this. Thompson, you should do this now and try to find people in Yimeizhi Film Studio. You can't let Andy Serkis know. Do you know what should be done?"
"Sir, please rest assured. Yimeizhi Film Studio is in London. It is not difficult to find people inside. And I think Mr. Liu's point of view is correct. There is no need to find other people in the same industry to find out the truth. Otherwise, it will be easy for the news to leak out. Invite competition!”
"Well, just do it according to your understanding. Don't worry about the funds for now. I'll just give instructions to others!"
Jin Xishan saw it in his eyes and felt happy in his heart when he saw his own man attracting such a big shot with just a few words.
She knew the importance of motion capture technology, and the two of them had a conflicting attitude about whether they could buy a stake in Yimeizhi Film Studio. The real goal was to fight for actors and technical strength.
Now that Earl Snowden is involved, this idea becomes 90% likely.
And with his investment, it means that Liu Qingshan has a little say in Yimeizhi. If DreamWorks wants to intervene in the future, his own Snowland Studio can also benefit.
But she didn’t know that the intervention of DreamWorks was entirely Liu Qingshan’s words. Their purchase intention would not be realized. On the contrary, the necessary cooperation would give Meizhi Film Studio more opportunities to participate in Hollywood film production. .
The press conference was held in the small square outside the Chelsea Barracks Police Station. The content of the press conference was disclosed to the public. This is also a method commonly used in some European countries. This is the so-called "democracy" in the West.
The time was exactly ten o'clock in the morning. Although it was said to be for the media from all over England, in fact, those media had specific plans to attend.
However, due to the sensational effect of this incident, it is not ruled out that more media will flock to the event, but at this point in time, it has been considered that a considerable number of media will not be able to arrive in time.
Moreover, there are behind-the-scenes arrangements for interviews with reporters during the period. Media not included in the list will, if nothing else, not get a microphone to ask questions.
Therefore, before nine o'clock, the embassy received a condolence group from the London Police. They also brought a draft statement from the mayor's office, which needed to be confirmed by the Chinese embassy in advance.
Of course, there will also be investigation conclusions about Campbell. Although they don't want to say it, there is pressure from Earl Snowden and they also know that it is impossible to hide it from the Chinese Embassy.
What is unknown is that their mayor's office has already reached some agreement with Bai Zhengcheng on the phone, but it's not time to let Liu Qingshan know about it yet.
Liu Qingshan is very good at doing things. After expressing his hatred for Campbell's behavior, he immediately highlighted the police's efforts to help last night and brought it up to Chelsea Barracks Police Station Chief Turner to express his gratitude.
But no one expected that the satisfaction on the faces of the London Police Consolation Team would turn into another strong sense of fear that occurs only when disaster strikes.
Before ten o'clock, Liu Qingshan followed the embassy car to the small square. The square was already overcrowded. The voice of shouting "Alien" appeared again, and today's lineup was much stronger, far from being in a church. There were hundreds of people in the square.
Based on Liu Qingshan's fans in the square, the entire crowd attending the press conference spread to the streets outside, the lawns, and even the nearby parking lots and fitness plaza guardrails were full of people.
There were nearly two thousand people chanting "Alien" in unison. The number was not very large at first, but as time got closer, many ordinary people who were infected by the enthusiasm joined in.
You must know that the entire square and its surroundings cannot accommodate 4,000 people even if it is full. At least half of the people are shouting Liu Qingshan's nickname, which is enough to show how terrible the influence from him is.
Liu Qingshan, who was quietly hiding in the crowd, was not idle. He kept the reminder in his heart. Taking advantage of the opportunity to take a rest in the police station, he excused himself to go to the bathroom and used his Qi detection power in a corner.
Sure enough, without spending much energy, he felt the killing intent coming from the top floor of a nearby ancient bell tower.
With the perception of murderous intent, the true energy is equivalent to having eyes. You can perceive the situation there through the true energy by just focusing on one point of detection.
There are currently only two people in that position, and one of them, who is nearly two meters tall, attracted Liu Qingshan's special attention.
Since the Xiangjiang incident, the Xiangjiang police have not stopped investigating the shadows. Director of the Criminal and Security Department Liang Jinghao has provided a lot of information to UI one after another.
Among them is a middle-level figure in the shadow organization who is black, but this person has always behaved strangely. There is no physical characteristics about him in the information, and his real name is unknown.
However, it was mentioned that the man was very tall, and his skin color matched. These two items almost convinced Liu Qingshan that the big man on the top floor of the clock tower was the person in the information.
The two men were hiding behind the windows of the clock tower, with a sniper rifle and a device like astronomical telescopes set up in front of them.
There is no doubt that the big man is the main shooter, and the one next to him is the sighter. The sighter assists the sniper in reconnaissance and security tasks. According to military jargon, the sniper is just a monkey, and the sighter is It's an animal tamer.
This means that a good spotter can direct the sniper to aim and shoot through spoken commands, and tell the shooter how to adjust the scope to hit the target based on wind direction, wind strength, and air humidity.
At the same time, he is also responsible for monitoring the surrounding environment and taking on the security work of the entire team, allowing the sniper to concentrate on aiming and shooting, and making tactical decisions based on changes in the situation.
