Smith and his band members were waiting at the NEC headquarters, but they were in the recording studio on the 16th floor. After Liu Qingshan and the other two arrived, they went directly to the 8th floor. The person in charge of introducing them was the bald NEC department head. Director Powell.
Standing next to this person was Qiang Liqun. Today he was acting as the spokesperson for the consulate. Liu Qingshan had expected that his cooperation with London would be labeled as an official act by the Chinese government.
People carry people in sedan chairs, and people should lift each other up. If you respect me, I will naturally lift you up. This is not only a custom in China, but also very popular in England.
With Qiang Liqun's presence, the talents from the London City Council as an intermediary will have more face, and of course the NEC headquarters will also have a good reputation.
"I have read all the exchanges, and they are completely consistent with the initialed agreement. It is rare that the London City Government has not caught the eye of the enemy this time. It is a rare pleasure!"
Qiang Liqun's words were somewhat helpless. Obviously, they, the staff of foreign agencies, had more than just appearance.
This is why Liu Qingshan fully understands their official style: "People have to bow their heads under the roof. Fortunately, our country is getting stronger and stronger, and this kind of thing will only increase in the future!"
Qiang Liqun nodded: "The same goes for the first phone call to Andy Serkis. Although his attitude towards Consul Limin changed dramatically later, as far as I know it still stems from your reputation. Andy should After receiving my call, I asked someone to investigate!”
Liu Qingshan was a little strange: "Didn't you say that you have a good personal relationship with her? Why don't you give me this face?"
"That Andy Serkis is a very good person. He can't judge people by their appearance. He must have guessed that it would be related to the business of Yimeizhi Film Studio when he received my phone invitation! This is also true. You can’t blame him, Europeans and Americans are like this, personal relationships and business are two different things, and people here know the difference quite clearly!"
Looking at Qiang Liqun who was smiling wryly, Liu Qingshan asked with a disinterested smile: "Is it possible that Count Snowdon's face is also difficult to deal with?"
"It's okay to get nothing. It's just business dealings, and Andy Serkis won't let him get even half a cent more profit from it. But the problem is that this time you show up, you probably don't know that you are now in Europe and the United States." Potential influence, right?”
"Oh? I really don't know. Is the value of force stronger than the temptation of money?"
"It is precisely because of the greater temptation of money that many people value their association with you, but I don't know how to explain it to you! For example, no one currently doubts that you can overthrow the entire Shadow with one person. , this ability has surpassed any powerful force. Don’t curl your lips, sometimes I find it incredible when I think about it, but the fact is that there is too much mystery in your personal ability, or you can directly understand that you are You are an alien, because many people now believe that you possess magical powers that even large forces cannot achieve. Think about it, if you have good dealings with such people, will other people be wary of you?"
"So you think they are applying their future relationship with me to business?"
"Otherwise, not only Andy Serkis, but the entire London hierarchy now regards you as the Son of God. Otherwise, why would the City Council Hall be willing to obey your orders yesterday?"
"The order is a bit excessive, at most it's just mutual use!"
"Even if they are using each other, this is the capital of England. Who is qualified to participate in parliamentary affairs?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Simple? What's even more unbelievable is that they, who have always been good at intrigues, unexpectedly showed unprecedented unity yesterday. Do you dare to say that the reason is because the Chinese embassy came forward? "
Liu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, but he could only laugh back, "I can't explain this matter clearly, so let's get down to business quickly!"
Qiang Liqun laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "What else? I can only think this way. After you sign the contract, you go about your business. Remember the agreed time in the afternoon. Should I pick you up or should you rush there yourself?"
"I should go there with David, don't worry about it!"
"See, you dare to call the 21st heir to the royal family, the majestic 2nd Earl of Snowdon, by his first name. Those of us who have been working here for several or more than ten years cannot do it, and you I’ve only known him for a few days, and this is the best proof of what I just explained!”
"Okay, what you said is right, right? I think I'm already great, but don't say this anymore, it's easy to offend people!"
The whisper between the two people came to an end after they arrived in a conference room.
There were quite a few people waiting inside, but most of them were people from NEC headquarters.
After signing the contract, the bald manager Powell asked: "Last night, Smith told me Mr. Liu's views on the program. The TV station and I personally highly recognize your suggestions, but since we have This time we have a good foundation for cooperation. Please give Mr. Liu more suggestions for our station’s future variety shows!”
Liu Qingshan shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm just a foreigner. I don't know much about the actual situation in London, let alone the preferences of the audience here. I don't want to suggest it. But if the trial method starts tomorrow, if the ratings are acceptable, it's totally fine." If it continues, just like the song I created, I am confident that it will become another "Wedding March" that must be played at your Western weddings."
Powell's eyes lit up. It was obvious that Liu Qingshan's firm attitude greatly increased his confidence. "That must be a divine song. When can we hear it?"
"I'm going to rehearse right away. To show my personal sincerity, I will hand over the future use rights of this song to NEC and the Wish Band for free use. In the future, the routine of suddenly appearing as a band at a wedding scene can continue to be used. Until people get tired of it!”
"But before Mr. Liu arrived, several of our supervisors had some exchanges. In addition to this program, I hope you will leave more program planning, because we all know that Mr. Liu is very experienced in this area!"
"Powell, don't use your current coercive tone. We intend to have longer-term communication with Mr. Liu, and we should express a more appropriate cooperative attitude!"
The person who used words to refute Powell was the top executive at NEC headquarters, also known as CEO Baker Hill.
Of course, Liu Qingshan would not think that he was really refuting Powell, but he was moved in his heart, thinking that the future cooperation relationship with Lian Li would be good.
He has plans for countless variety shows in his hand. If he just picks out a few columns with high ratings, he can maintain the largest TV station in England. Why not!
So he deliberately remained silent for more than ten seconds before speaking: "Actually, I do have a program worth trying, but the specific cooperation method needs further discussion! My agent happened to be here today, Hill Sir, if you still have the intention to cooperate after seeing the program idea, you can discuss it in detail!"
That
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
In fact, he knew very well that the development of Western entertainment programs was far stronger than that of China. The reason for the cooperation was simply because of his own reputation, so that he could legitimately put forward their specific requirements in the future.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan plans to plan a program that is at the bottom of the box to let these people know that his planning ability is also extraordinary.
You can clearly see the smile blooming on Baker Hill's face: "It turns out that Mr. Liu has already prepared for it. I wonder when we can see it?"
"The original manuscript is left on the computer in China, but my brain is always good. Give me an hour and I can copy the entire content! Let me talk about it in general first, and I will update it tomorrow if you are interested. The detailed content will be sent over!”
The show he came up with was called "Britain's Got Talent". London was originally its birthplace, but it would not appear until two and a half years later.
When it landed on another TV station on June 9, 2007, the ratings were only 4.9 million/23%. But just 8 days later, this figure rushed to 11.1 million/44%. This result was already the best except last night. That was a record-breaking performance outside of that episode of "The Brenda Show."
Other major variety shows in the UK may already exist or have plans to establish projects, but "Talent" has never been heard of. Even the word "talent" is a new vocabulary.
In fact, he had prepared two similar reality shows in advance. The other one was called "American Idol", and he originally planned to hand them over to the other side of the Atlantic for production and broadcast.
Since the British TV station has proposed cooperation in advance, it might as well be produced here now. The effect of purchasing the copyright here on the other side of the Atlantic in the future will be the same.
Since this program should have existed, once Liu Qingshan introduced it, it was immediately recognized by almost everyone.
The surprise in these people's eyes was obvious at a glance, but it was far from the time to discuss cooperation, so the two parties agreed that at this time tomorrow, Wang Jinghua would bring over a complete plan and then conduct detailed discussions.
By the time Liu Qingshan arrived on the 16th floor, it was almost eleven o'clock. Fortunately, lunch here was mostly between 12:30 and 3 o'clock, and there was still enough time for rehearsal.
The song he took out was called "Sugar", a funk music piece by Hollywood's future five-member band that became a global hit with a MV.
Funk is an old American music genre that originated in the mid-to-late 1960s when African-American musicians blended soul, soul jazz, and rhythm and blues into a new form of rhythmic, danceable music.
The Prayer Band is a rock-style band, which is suitable for this style of music. Just after seeing the score, the band members became excited.
They are already very famous and are the best in their profession. They have the most say in whether a good song becomes popular.
The music of this band has always been of a very high standard. They have actually been out for a long time, and the style of each album will change to a certain extent without losing the standard.
But he still continues to have outstanding creative ability. Although he has had singles that have received numerous praises in the past few years, it is a pity that he is only very well-known in England. If he was placed in Europe as a whole, he would be in a rather embarrassing situation where the singer is not popular.
Because in the UK, the dividing line between a well-known band and a well-known band is whether it can be recognized by audiences throughout Europe.
