Thomas said immediately: "About this matter, someone has already raised it at the internal meeting last night. The first step is to start from the major newspapers and media tomorrow morning. They will first raise questions about this incident. , but the premise is that Liu Qingshan will not make even a single word of public remarks during this period!"
Liu Qingshan's expression was very relaxed, and he didn't seem to be in any hurry: "Then what?"
"There are several response options. It depends on what kind of response measures Dana White takes, and of course it also depends on who will help him mediate."
"So, there is still a big hype purpose?"
"Fox and the artist company have reached a consensus that once Billboard magazine deprives us of the right to co-host, we will lose most of our leading capabilities and commercial interests. Therefore, the greater the momentum generated by this awards ceremony, the more beneficial it will be, and We must work hard to show the influence of the agent, company and singer, so a certain degree of hype is required!”
"Haha, Mr. Thomas, this is not a certain level, but the scale of a full-scale declaration of war! And I can also guess that those media are not limited to Los Angeles, right?"
"The three most influential local newspapers today will be the first to speak. Other newspapers and media will follow suit at noon. In the afternoon, major TV stations will successively comment in the form of news. In the evening, evening newspapers will appear in Europe and the United States. The trend explodes together with the traditional evening news broadcast!"
"Oh my god, whose handiwork is this? Your organizing committee alone can't do it, right?"
"We have contacted the Hollywood labor union. Protecting the rights and interests of members and allowing members to stay together for warmth are the greatest advantages of this union system!"
Until this moment, Liu Qingshan finally felt a little moved.
Because he noticed that Thomas was talking about the Hollywood union, not the Screen Actors Guild or other various subdivided associations.
The so-called Hollywood union refers to an alliance composed of members of various major types of work such as actors, directors, and screenwriters. These organizations aim to provide union members with a relatively standardized and fair industry environment.
These organizations can give full play to their collective advantages and achieve the results of their demands through collective bargaining. The specific types of negotiations also differ between online and offline. Collective voice through the media is an offline method.
The Hollywood union system is the key to the global dominance of the American film and television industry, and participants of different categories also include all levels outside Hollywood.
There are many "offline" trade union organizations, which are not limited to those who perform specific operations in the early, shooting and post-production stages of film shooting, but also include a large number of media practitioners.
Although the joining of these media people has a large degree of part-time significance, and there is still a huge lack of ability with the strongest media cooperation alliance: the "Washington Post" gold-making club, as long as it only involves Hollywood Artists and money-making clubs will not take the initiative to intervene.
Liu Qingshan officially joined the Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild six months ago, and it was personally operated by the famous Hollywood director Martin Scorsese.
Under the Screen Actors Guild are the Television and Radio Artists Association and the Musicians Guild. The Screen Actors Guild qualification that Scorsese gave him also included branches of this type.
Therefore, it is appropriate to use him as an example, and he is well-known. Even if Dana Bai has the status of another labor union, it will not affect the existence of doubts about the nature of this comment.
All entertainment projects in the United States and America have legal recognition of hype. After all, there is no clear distinction between this kind of behavior and publicity methods.
All previous "Billboard" award ceremonies have had similar hype, and this year's Liu Qingshan phenomenon is undoubtedly the best target for hype.
Of course, in the face of the public media, they will not think so, but will try to create a fair image of themselves in the name of helping him seek an explanation.
Therefore, he doesn't care too much about making trouble against himself, and he even used this method to achieve the purpose of revenge.
So he said seriously: "Thank you to the organizing committee for being willing to speak out for me, an ordinary artist who has just joined the union. I will resolutely follow orders and will never express my personal opinions on any occasion!"
He knew in his heart that the other party was doing this to compensate him. Even if he only occupied the smallest share in the entire hype process, it would be much less troublesome than if he went out in person to counterattack.
For him, the result of doing so will only minimize the occurrence of similar smear incidents in the future. His current main goal is to quickly develop his career, and it is unnecessary to spend more time on this.
"Don't say thank you," Thomas said with a hint of pride in his tone. Maybe he thought his method had the best effect, "Shall we talk about the performance next?"
"As long as there are no opening and closing times, the organizing committee will arrange the other programs in sequence! However, one of the songs requires the cooperation of a female singer, and this person happens to be one of the invitees!"
"Haha, Mr. Liu is talking about Miss Taylor, right? There is no problem, but the organizing committee of all three songs has a suggestion. It is best for two of them to be new songs and the other one to be "Rap God"."
Although Taylor had been invited to the awards ceremony before, he was rejected internally by Universal Music and replaced by another new-generation singer.
But because the person behind the scenes was powerfully taken over by Heinz through his connections, Taylor regained his admission spot.
As for the organizing committee's opinions on the three songs, Liu Qingshan was mentally prepared and agreed easily.
But the organizing committee was particularly interested in "Rap God", which made him a little curious: "Why did you choose that song "Rap God"?"
Thomas smiled and asked, "I wonder how much Mr. Liu knows about a music reaction website?"
"Of course I know, it is said that "Rap God" is very popular on that website!"
"I don't know about this song, but your other works have appeared on the homepage of the website. Of course, the most played one is "Rap God". The key is that in the reaction video about it, many local rappers appeared, including many so-called black rappers. The king of rap, the king of rap, the godfather of the rap industry, etc. have all performed positively and given extremely high praise! Mr. Liu, you also know that our old and American pop music, the black hip-hop style, has always made an indelible contribution. , so this song "Rap God" just caters to the preferences of music fans born from the 1970s to the 1990s."
"But this song is pure rap. Don't you think that my previous song "Love The Way You Lie" is more meaningful as a new genre that combines rap and singing?"
"I have heard the song you sang with Avril Lavigne. It is even the favorite of my three children! But in terms of market acceptance, new music styles need a step-by-step development process, otherwise they will easily be criticized by the rap industry. Questions from some bigots!”
"Sir, what you mean is that first my rapping ability is recognized by the market, so that it will be more conducive to the popularity of the new genre?"
"I have this idea, and it is based on the opinions of many judges! To be honest, according to my original meaning, I planned for you to put "Love The Way You Lie" on the awards ceremony stage, but more people think that this stage It is one of the three major music festivals, and groundbreaking new music styles are not suitable. After thinking about it, there should still be a large market for such opinions, but you can try singing on other occasions, such as "The Master" after the awards ceremony. Show》Semifinals!”
"Do you know that I received this notice? The problem is that I haven't received a formal invitation from the TV station yet!"
"The music director of FOX TV station is on our judging panel. Maybe you will receive a written invitation soon."
"One more question. I brought Jin Xishan. Can we give her a chance to star in this awards ceremony?"
"I know that Miss Jin Xishan is very famous in the cold country, but there is only one English version of the song, and it is still difficult to convince the public in terms of qualifications. Taylor is different. Her first album has a promising market, and some of her songs even lasted for a long time. She is at the top of the major charts. She was not qualified to sing on stage, but your duet with her just helped us solve some of the fans' demands."
Just as he said this, the young woman who had been standing next to Thomas suddenly came forward and whispered a few words to him.
Then Thomas turned to Liu Qingshan again and smiled: "Welia just reminded me that if you win a certain award, you can let Miss Jin serve as the presenter. Of course, she will present the award on the same stage with other senior singers!"
Liu Qingshan said happily: "Is this a temporary decision? It was not planned before?"
"It was planned before, but coincidentally, the person had something to do and couldn't come to the scene!"
Liu Qingshan would not take this obvious excuse seriously, but as long as it was beneficial to him, he would just pretend to be confused: "So it's such a coincidence? Well, I'll thank Thomas and the organizing committee on her behalf, of course. And this beautiful Miss Vilia!”
Wei Liya changed her previous dull expression and smiled charmingly for the first time: "I am an admirer of Mr. Liu, and I have always regarded Miss Jin as a love rival. Can I rule out the behind-the-scenes operation first? Where is the suspicion?"
In just one sentence, she fully revealed the characteristics of Western women who dare to love, hate, and are passionate and unrestrained.
Fortunately, Liu Qingshan has long been accustomed to Taylor around him, so he is immune to the fast-talking way of this kind of person: "Thank you Miss Vilia for your love, but I think love rival is not accurate, maybe unrequited love is more accurate! "
Vilia made a look of great hurt and grievance, "Mr. Liu, I am very sad that you actually rejected the admiration of a beautiful girl like me so directly in person!"
"Do you know why?" Liu Qingshan chuckled, "Because I know you are joking and you are not a big fan of mine."
"Why does Mr. Liu think so?" Vilia looked curious.
