"It's not just persuasion, it also requires an exchange of interests, or the consulate may put forward some demand for real estate near Pioneer Square, so that the landowners can trade with us directly!"
Fang Qingyu further explained.
Jin Xishan covered his mouth and said happily, "Open your mouth and shut up, landlord, what age are you in! How old-fashioned!"
Liu Qingshan laughed loudly: "Landlords are very vivid. This place is different from our country. Only when the land or real estate is completely privatized can it be more suitable to call them landlords! Forget it, I really don't care about this matter. You see Let’s discuss it.”
As he was talking, the person in charge of reception from the TV station rushed over. The person in charge knew him. It was the infield host last night, the beautiful Gurena, whom Liu Qingshan jokingly called the Ocean Horse.
"Mr. Liu, Miss Jin, let me introduce you again. I am Gurenna, one of the on-site hosts of tonight's interview. Now I will be responsible for your auxiliary work before the broadcast!"
"One?" Jin Xishan asked in surprise, "Will there be others? It's just a small talk show. Is it necessary to mobilize a large number of people?"
Her favorable impression of this woman was limited because this man had publicly expressed his admiration for Liu Qingshan.
Gruner seemed to have no idea what she was thinking, and still had a gentle smile on his face: "Forget about other talk shows, Mr. Liu's show must be of the highest standard! And I will reveal some information to you privately, and there will be people present at the scene. Guest, I heard that Mr. Thom, the mayor of Seattle, will also appear!”
Unlike the mainland, the mayor here is the biggest official. Although he may not have absolute power, he is definitely under the direct jurisdiction of the federal government and is an absolute local boss.
Liu Qingshan was not surprised by this person's appearance. Considering Seattle's urgent need to make friends with himself, Mayor Thom must be very familiar with the content of tonight's program.
"One more thing, it is said that the program team has other special guests, maybe from Hollywood. Although I am one of the hosts, I am not the first host. There are two others ahead of me, namely Mike Mr. Wallace and Dan Rather!”
"Hiss~", Liu Qingshan took a breath of cold air, "They are all famous figures under CAS. By the way, I forgot, UEN TV station also belongs to CAS. But isn't that Mike Wallace early? Just retired? You are over eighty years old this year, right?"
"To be precise, he is eighty-five years old, but he is not officially retired, because CAS awarded him a lifetime honorary title a few years ago, and he will receive an annual salary until his death! In fact, Mr. Dan Rather is not young at all. Now, I’m seventy-three years old this year!”
"Are these two old men coming here from Los Angeles? Are they making this trip just for me?"
"Mr. Wallace lives here, but Mr. Rather came here temporarily. He should have come with some kind of will from the headquarters!"
Liu Qingshan only heard about these two people. While talking, his mind quickly connected to the super star-making device, and he obtained relevant information in a moment.
According to the data, both of these people are quite positive figures for China, especially the latter, who has been doing so since he first visited China in 1972 as a reporter accompanying the Nixon delegation to China. contacts.
One thing the two have in common is that they are the kind of personality anchors who are known for their sharp and acrimonious personalities. They elevate news interviews to an almost artistic state and behave calmly, neither arrogantly nor humblely, and with ease in the face of powerful and powerful plutocrats.
Moreover, they all have profound knowledge and rich experience, and they also dare to uncover some major inside stories.
The same Mr. Rather will be forced to resign in March next year, four months later, because he was too involved in the serious issue of a certain super multinational company collaborating with the government to manipulate the news.
But judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the CAS headquarters still values this person very much, otherwise it would not send him to carry out the task of wooing him.
Of course, the intention to win over is just Liu Qingshan's personal guess at the moment, but according to his judgment, this conclusion will not deviate too much.
After figuring out the two hosts with extraordinary backgrounds, Liu Qingshan immediately ordered Fang Qingyu in Chinese in front of Gurenna: "Hurry up and call your aunt and tell them about the unexpected appearance of those two people. If there is anything involved, If there is any high-level matter, I will cancel tonight’s announcement immediately!”
Fang Qingyu knew that this matter was not trivial, so she didn't dare to delay for a moment, so she immediately walked away and made the call.
Jin Xishan also smelled the smell, and when he saw the deeply confused Gurenna, he quickly interrupted: "Should we find a lounge first to discuss the content of the interview?"
Gruner then smiled and made a gesture of invitation: "The lounge has been prepared for the guests, please go this way!"
Before entering the lounge, Fang Qingyu followed quickly, the smile on his face already showing his attitude.
However, she still explained to Liu Qingshan in a low voice: "My aunt told you to accept the interview with confidence and boldness! But she was also wondering why UEN TV station put on such a big show!"
After entering the room, Gruner first took out a printed piece of paper: "The above is a summary of some of the questions we will ask. Also, the director team hopes to have Mr. Liu sing in addition to Miss Jin's song. A song, preferably a new song, but without prior rehearsal with the band, it seems like it will have to wait until next time!”
This kind of request was already in Liu Qingshan's plan, and he didn't feel it was abrupt, so he readily agreed, but it was not a new song.
Instead, he had some doubts about a question on the piece of paper: "Regarding this, apart from my identity as an actor, I am just a folk martial artist. It would not be appropriate to associate my identity with the national fitness plan advocated by the Chinese government. ?”
Gruner's attitude was extremely sincere. Without any hesitation, he took out his pen and marked that item heavily: "We won't mention it if Mr. Liu thinks it's inappropriate. Your opinion is the main one!"
"There is one more thing I need to ask." Liu Qingshan was very wary of accepting interviews from abroad. "The two old hosts are both senior figures in the industry. Their hosting style has always been sharp in criticizing current ills, and they will not go without discussion. Ask extra questions?”
"They won't. This is the most basic professional ethics of the host, and the two old people are the same age. I mainly want to get to know you, and I no longer care about the topicality of the news!"
"In this case, I have no problem! Sister Xishan, what do you think?"
"I don't have any problem," Jin Xishan also read the content, "and I am a companion, and I am a woman. I won't be asked about deeper topics. I just don't know that they asked about our relationship. How should I answer?"
Gurenna said with a smile before Liu Qingshan: "No one will ask this question. Let me say one more thing in a private capacity. In fact, the whole world knows about the relationship between you two. As long as you don't have ulterior motives, smart people are I won’t embarrass you!”
Liu Qingshan looked at her with a smile, "Thank you Miss Gruner for your help. I know there are some things you might not have said!"
He received a compliment from Liu Qingshan, which obviously made Gurenna very excited: "I am a loyal fan of yours. This has nothing to do with work or nationality. Originally, I had no work schedule tonight, but I really want to hear from you." Live singing!”
After saying that, she looked at Jin Xishan again: "Miss Jin, don't be unhappy about my public confession to Mr. Liu last night. In fact, there is no female fan who does not cherish his admiration for him! So, For you, your relationship with Mr. Liu is safe, at least I think so, because the idol image in your heart should be viewed from a distance. If you are close, it will be easier to create barriers!"
Faced with her frankness, Jin Xishan was embarrassed to be hostile to the person in front of him: "You have a very good attitude. Maybe I can't do it! But I do feel a little uncomfortable when he is liked by other girls." , and there are many people who admire him!”
Gurenna said cheerfully: "There are more than a lot. From what I know, there are countless girls in this city who like him, but this is a good thing, isn't it?"
Jin Xishan nodded, "Sometimes I feel helpless. Logically speaking, Shanzi's other abilities are enough for him to enjoy life, but this person seems to be passionate about his career as an actor, because I have never tried to stop him!"
Liu Qingshan was a little confused for a while. What he was most afraid of was Jin Xishan's attitude and analysis, because he was the only one who knew that he had to work in this industry, but he really couldn't come up with a very convincing reason.
Fortunately, Jin Xishan is good at this and never inquires into topics he doesn't want to touch on unless he wants to talk about it himself.
But there is one exception, that is, Jin Xishan once asked about relationships with other women, although Liu Qingshan has been avoiding it.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the live broadcast of the program. This program was temporarily changed after the previous original column was banned.
All the larger TV stations have strict schedules for at least a week, which shows how much they value this interview.
While the two were waiting for the show, Gurenna had already left. Although the specific design of this program was never revealed, Liu Qingshan thought it was nothing more than the layout and process of most interview programs.
But when the door of the waiting area opened, Liu Qingshan and Jin Xishan were a little dumbfounded.
They were not surprised by the full auditorium in the shadow studio. What was surprising was the setting on the stage. It was not arranged according to an ordinary talk show at all, but was all displayed in the style of a hospital ward.
Moreover, all kinds of medical equipment are available on the stage, and people dressed as nurses and doctors are sitting or standing. There is even a real patient lying on the only hospital bed, and even the infusion state he is receiving is real. .
Fortunately, Liu Qingshan had the power of detection. In surprise, he glanced over with his detection power and roughly understood the main purpose of this arrangement.
Before the surprised expressions could solidify on their faces, screams and applause came from the audience.
The two of them waved towards the audience and took their seats one by one following Gruner's gesture of coming forward.
The interview program here is very casual, and there is no need to bow to the audience first. There are drinks, a box of cigars, and several ashtrays on the table in front of the sofa.
Gruner did not take his seat, but faced the audience and said: "I am not qualified to host today, but who do you think it will be here?"
