When Brown saw that Liu Qingshan no longer continued the topic about him, he felt helpless.
Unexpectedly, Earl Snowdon came up to him and whispered something: "Mr. Liu always keeps his word and never breaks his promise to his friends. And you can ask Jaycee for advice. He is Jackie Chang's son. Currently I am also learning kung fu from Mr. Liu!”
Although the idioms in his words were not very authentic, fortunately, Brown could still understand them and felt happy in his heart.
He knew Chen Zuming, but he was too eager for a while and forgot to find out the details in advance. After hearing these words, he gradually calmed down.
That Kevin wasn't interested in listening to Liu Qingshan's program planning, so he gathered together and muttered.
Fortunately, the discussion over there ended quickly. Amidst the excited expressions of the Han people, Liu Qingshan had already raised his wine glass and looked over here.
Many people at the party that night felt satisfied. Cui Shangyu and the others left quickly after the banquet dispersed. They were thinking about the new variety show and were busy calling home to report the good news.
Liu Qingshan and his party were forced to stay by Kevin. The Ritz Hotel not only has ready-made rooms, but also has many entertainment and leisure projects. If you come here rarely, you must try it and enjoy it.
The Earl and Countess of Snowdon rushed back to the manor overnight with Harry Brown because the latter was thinking about his future cultivation and had to rush to talk to Chen Zuming regardless of how late it was.
This is Kevin Carlton's home court, and of course he has to accompany him in person. Soon everyone had changed into their outfits and were lying in the private treatment room of the spa, enjoying a full range of services from spa massage to beauty and body care.
This spa method, which combines ancient traditions and modern high-tech, is a favorite of nobles. It is a fashionable health concept for modern urbanites to return to nature, eliminate physical and mental fatigue, and integrate leisure, beauty, and stress relief. Together with five-sense therapy, whether Whether it's soothing massage, beauty treatments or hot spring spa treatments, they can all prevent disease and delay aging.
Liu Qingshan looked drowsy with his eyes closed, but in fact his mind never stopped thinking.
He could see that not only Brown wanted to surrender to him, but Kevin Carlton also obviously wanted to make friends with him.
The reason is very simple. His name is now regarded as a powerful pronoun. The key is his unique existence. Naturally, the more status a person has, the more he wants to make friends. As for the real purpose, it is self-evident.
However, Liu Qingshan took these things very lightly. He didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party. The richer and more prestigious he was, the more he cherished everything he had now. Being able to have a powerful person to rely on would at least provide him with psychological comfort.
Of course, he won't think that everything he does will be much easier from now on. He will have to work hard on his own in the future, otherwise he will lose the joy of being a human being.
Not long after, Wang Huansheng came over to report the results of today's discussions with NEC.
Sure enough, as they had guessed, NEC was extremely interested in publishing Liu Qingshan's statement, and they bluntly told him that they were happy to report on any topic closely related to him and would always stand on the same side.
Liu Qingshan just smiled at the other party's last sentence. He would not take similar content seriously and understood the twists and turns involved.
But he still recognized the other party's attitude. At least they didn't treat him badly. Even if it was just for ratings and newspaper sales, it saved him a lot of trouble.
"Actually, NEC really wants to fight for the live broadcast rights. I can see it from their expressions. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do about it. Especially that Baker Hill, in front of me and Sister Jinghua I made a few phone calls to inquire about it, and I actually got some useful information from Los Angeles."
Wang Huansheng kept his voice very low. Although there were many people lying in the private therapy room, the overall environment was very quiet, and he did not want to disturb other people because of himself.
He continued, “The boss of Los Angeles Entertainment Report is a local, and he was not aware of the previous report, but there is a shareholder from Xiangjiang who is the editor-in-chief of the entertainment section and is responsible for the final review of all content. "
Liu Qingshan sat up a little, obviously interested: "That's right, there should be the shadow of Xu Xiangdong behind this matter. The editor-in-chief at least has some relationship with Xiangdong Group."
"There is another thing that caught our attention," Wang Huansheng's voice became even lower. "Originally, Baker Hill revealed NEC TV's plan to host a live broadcast. The boss said he would make a phone call to find out the truth, but When he called back, he said this: Mr. Hill, you are not allowed to get involved in this matter. This event will definitely be held in Los Angeles. Then Baker Hill went out to answer the phone, and when he came back he was gone. Let’s talk about the live broadcast again!”
Liu Qingshan nodded: "It seems that our guess is correct. The other party's purpose is obviously this. We just need to wait for the other party's reaction after the report is released tomorrow."
"Would you like to ask Baker Hill for more information?"
"No need, I don't want to accept his favor on this matter. It's best to keep our cooperation with NEC business-like!"
"The "British Talent Show" project has basically been negotiated. NEC TV gave up our request for a share and directly chose to purchase the copyright. However, Sister Jinghua insisted on only signing the five-year copyright with them, and the copyright for the first phase The fee is 2.6 million pounds, and the annual fee will fluctuate based on the previous year's ratings."
"Two million six hundred thousand pounds? Good guy, that's twenty-six million pounds converted into Chinese currency. How did you get such a high price?"
"Is this still high? According to her psychological bottom line, she cannot afford less than 4 million, which is 5.5 million U.S. dollars, because the three European countries of Britain, France, and Germany introduced any level of income from the United States. Variety show copyrights will not be lower than this amount!"
"We can't compare with them. Their entertainment industry developed much earlier than ours, and their quality has international reputation. No matter how high-quality our programs are, we can't raise the price. This number is quite a lot! By the way, Jinghua How did I agree in the end? After all, it was far from her psychological level."
"She went out and made a phone call, probably seeking advice from professionals. She signed the contract when she came back!"
"Well, neither of us is as good as her in this regard. In my opinion, 2.6 million pounds is still good for me. If it were another Chinese, I'm afraid it would be difficult to negotiate even 1.6 million pounds!"
"That's actually what happened, that's what Baker Hill said afterward."
"That's it for the time being. However, in the future, the variety show copyright of Snowland Studio cannot be lower than this price for the European and American markets. I'm afraid the profit from selling our "Infinite Challenge" to Han Country will not be too high. The market of Han Country is too small, so we have to Leave the profit part for others.”
"Hey, we've been talking for a long time, but why didn't you ask me a word about the group competition? Don't you want to know more about your opponent?"
"Did Baker Hill also ask for help?"
"It's not him, it's Chief Turner of Chelsea Barracks Police Station. It should be Earl Snowdon who called him."
"I guess that's why Turner found you?"
"The man who called me this afternoon said he heard about it through his connections with Interpol. We know that the black butcher has worked as a mercenary for several years, but we don't know about the incidents in which he was caught. , Turner called to talk about this!”
It turned out that this man was captured by a local civil society organization in a certain area in Africa, probably because of his extremely high skills, and was later sold by a mysterious man at a high price.
Turner got this information from the Interpol person, and because of this, the Black Butcher disappeared for two full years. When he showed up again, he became a professional fighter and officially terminated his contract with the previous mercenary group.
According to Turner's guess, the Black Butcher should have participated in the training of an assassination organization in those two years. The evidence is that after reappearing, the guy actually mastered a new skill, which is Sambo.
The word Sambo comes from Russian, which means "self-defense without weapons", that is, unarmed self-defense.
Sambo is divided into two types: sports sambo (an international wrestling sport) and combat sambo (that is, actual combat). Actual sambo is a combination of kicking, hitting, throwing, grabbing, ground skills, equipment defense, and relief. , escorting, bundling, self-defense use of daily items, etc.
But it is also a basic skill for killers. Except for secret organizations in certain countries, only assassination groups cultivate this skill.
Originally, this pure method of killing was strictly prohibited by international fighting organizations. However, because the sponsors behind the three major events wanted to increase the viewing pleasure of the events, Sambo, a special skill, was unlocked.
It is also because many of the current fatal moves are evolved on the basis of Sambo, and many specific moves that are specious are really difficult to judge.
Moreover, modern Sambo has increasingly integrated other foreign technologies and developed into an all-round mixed martial arts system. Therefore, from a technical point of view, modern fighting has incorporated many military fighting skills and techniques, and they have long been indistinguishable from each other. .
"In other words, the information Turner received may only be related to a certain assassination organization?"
After Liu Qingshan heard the cause and effect, his tone was quite disdainful.
"Isn't this enough? For us, we are wondering whether Xu Xiangdong is related to the shadow. Turner doesn't know this. Doesn't the scattered information he provided match our guess?"
Wang Huansheng's words made Liu Qingshan's eyes suddenly widen. If he looked at the clue from this information, he would undoubtedly have a clearer direction.
But in a second thought, he had other thoughts: "Actually, I still suspect that the shadow does not exist independently, or that there should be someone else behind it, but this is not the time to consider such mysterious secrets. In the future, you will have to inquire about these things privately through me. You know that I really consider your safety!"
Wang Huansheng nodded, "That's it for now. Now you have to prepare for war seriously. Don't be careless. Maybe that black butcher has another way to save his life!"
Liu Qingshan agreed with his words: "This really reminded me, go ahead and relax for a while. It's rare for us to have the opportunity to be exposed to such a high-end leisure project!"
