"What does it have to do with me if they are so poor that they have no pants to wear? This is a typical long-arm jurisdiction, an egoistic abuse of power, and a gross interference in normal civilian commercial activities without legal basis or principle. This is using domestic The law replaces international law. I never expected that I, Liu Qingshan, would be subjected to such power-seeking behavior abroad. On the contrary, such evil things such as greed for profit and disregard of justice have occurred in my own country! It is really heartbreaking!"
Liu Qingshan's tone became increasingly impatient.
"Xiao Zhang, pull over!" Ge Daquan obviously realized that Liu Qingshan was completely angry, and quickly began to pay attention.
"Don't be anxious first, speak slowly if you have something to say!"
"I am an artist first. Do I have to pay taxes to your cultural department if I accept commercial advertisements from overseas? I have to figure this out. Otherwise, when I return to China, all the people who are related and not related will come to bite me. Once I take one bite, there is no need to go back!"
"Stop, stop, stop! Look at what you said. I am an official of the two-level cultural department, but what do I want from you? Don't let the fire go unchecked. It doesn't matter if you complain to me. Others will have opinions about you. !”
"So what if I have an opinion? That's my temper. It's not that I'm not jealous, it's that I don't give in. This bad trend cannot be tolerated, otherwise it will hurt the hearts of us Chinese who have the ability to open up markets overseas. !”
"Then you are furious? I know this. I will not go to the meeting for the time being. I will ask someone immediately. If the situation you reported is true, I will help you report it to the relevant department!"
"Uncle Ge, I understand you as a person and always trust you, but there are some things that cannot be solved by people in the system alone. This is why I have always avoided officialdom! Besides, you are interfering across borders and want to impose It is more difficult to influence, but it is not as good as me, a private person, to openly question it!"
"Okay, don't you just want to say that I will be thankless for my effort? Why are you going round and round? Your method is not suitable for the time being. Let me help you find a way first. You can consider using it after being refuted. Your method is more thorough."
"Uncle Ge, there is no need. You have to offend people and make them smile at the same time. More importantly, I suspect that this is a continuation of various previous conspiracies against me. This matter is obviously not in line with normal operations. There must be something behind it. It was instigated by someone!”
"Don't mention it yet, your guess may not be unreasonable! Let's put it down first. You won't be back for a while anyway. I'll take this opportunity to help you do some digging to see if I can find out anything. Here comes the clue.”
"I'm leaving to go back to China in about a week, and there's an elder's family engagement ceremony that I need to attend!"
"Someone told me about that. Descendants of the Adams family, you have to go for this kind of thing! Also, try to get close to that big governor. His wife is from the Kennedy family!"
"Is there still a direct descendant of yours with me? Good guy, you shouldn't be working in the cultural department. It's more suitable to engage in intelligence!"
"You know how to talk! It's not the people around you who told me. Okay, get down and prepare for the awards ceremony. It will be broadcast live around the world. Don't damage the face of the Chinese people!"
After turning off the phone and thinking for a while, Liu Qingshan called for his legal team. They all lived on the first floor anyway, so it was convenient to come and go in the middle of the night.
Director Huang Qiqiu of Yihe Law Firm is much more qualified and capable than Wang Huansheng: "Ignore them for the time being, and we will immediately start preparing relevant information here. Although the domestic situation has its own particularities compared to foreign countries, this kind of strong The act of plundering is equally unreasonable. Some vague concepts of jurisdiction may make sense in theory, but they do not have the certainty and rigor of reverse inference and cannot withstand factual research!"
"It's such a simple truth. Those people don't understand it, but why do they insist on doing it?"
"In China's power institutions, there is an official-centered ideology. It is caused by the feudal autocratic culture for more than two thousand years. This ideology has penetrated into the layers of Chinese society and can even be said to be part of Chinese culture. That's the 'dross' part! The love of selfishness in ancient times, the virtuous in the middle world, and the respect for officials in modern times are the result of changes due to the evils of the people. It is inevitable, but it is not excusable! The country has long been reflecting on this culture , such as de-administration of universities, etc., are happening frequently nowadays, so it’s not surprising!”
"So we can have a way to defend ourselves?"
“Yihe Law Firm has been exposed to similar cases in the past few years, and they have won without exception. There are no twists and turns in folklore. The key lies in whether the interests of the relevant people are for public or private reasons. The perpetrators have reporting channels, and the private individuals have legal pursuits. No matter how influential they are, what they fear most is being exposed to the media and the public eye. This is our irreplaceable advantage!"
"Is it that easy? Why do I sound a little confused?"
"It's not easy for ordinary people to ask for an explanation, but you are Liu Qingshan. The business contract you received is an international brand, you have a private lawyer team, and you have huge social influence. These are obvious strengths. Under the camera The absolute advantage! To put it bluntly, some officials are most afraid of foreign-related lawsuits. Don’t forget that you also have a United Nations passport. Although it is not suitable for use at home, you have direct access to that international organization!”
"Knowing this, why would someone want to do harm to me?"
"My personal understanding is that someone is deliberately targeting you. The leader behind the scenes is taking advantage of some people who are motivated by profit, or they are diverting your attention and taking the opportunity to achieve some purpose in other ways!"
"Yes, I am also making speculations in this regard!"
"As a lawyer, I shouldn't make these unreasonable speculations. As a friend, I think it is necessary to remind you. If you have any, you will be restrained, and if you are not, you will be encouraged. Your behavior in recent times has been too outrageous, let alone... There is an enemy like the Xiangdong Group!”
"Thank you, Director Huang. Your reminder is very timely. It seems that after staying overseas for a long time, some people are ready to take action again!"
"Actually, some people have been secretly helping you with this matter, such as Chen Long and Director Liang Jinghao in Xiangjiang, Mr. Bian and Director Ge in China. We have had phone calls."
"Oh? Why haven't you mentioned this to me?"
"You are already busy enough, and these people know what you are doing if you mention Wuying."
The topic ended here. They discussed the contract issue with the NBA for a while, and it was already midnight when they returned to the room to rest.
He stayed in the presidential suite of this Ritz Hotel. Jin Xishan and Taylor lived with him, just in different rooms.
Early the next morning, the young owner of the Ritz Hotel came over. Kevin Carlton and his former butler and current director of the Los Angeles branch, Greens, opened the door with boxes of red wine in their arms. .
Carlton gave Liu Qingshan, who had not yet washed up, a big hug first, and then said: "These wines are brought for His Highness Daniel. They are all rare goods. There is not much stock in Buckingham Palace!"
Liu Qingshan nodded and smiled: "You came here from London? How is His Royal Highness's business now?"
"I had no actual contact before and didn't know the inside story. This time I came to front for him. He heard that you were going to do something with Old Martin and the others!"
"Haha, that's it? I won't forget him by then, but it's still early and it will be very troublesome to actually establish it!"
"It's late! Don't you know? Yesterday, while you were watching the game, Martin, Tobias, and Joe Pesci approached the Screen Actors Guild and the Directors Guild respectively. Starting today, they will go to major film companies to negotiate this matter. Something happened!”
"So fast? It seems they are quite anxious!"
"The key is this time. Launching a project faster will catch up with some award submission issues next year!"
"'The King's Speech' is this year, next year it will be the home of 'Chicago', and 'The Irishman' will be released in time for next year's awards season, and then there will be 'A Home for Old Age'. If there are other works that come out, it will not be a fight between gods." ?"
"What is a fight between gods?",
"When gods fight, little devils suffer. The best are crowded together. There will be competition on various lists. Didn't they consider this issue?"
"I don't know whether they have considered it or not, but for investors, the more complicated the situation, the better. In other words, it is not a bad thing to have good movies coming together. It will stimulate a healthy movie-watching craze in the audience market!"
“But we don’t rule out brutal competition at the box office, right?”
"Competition is inevitable, but if you don't succeed, other blockbusters will fill the gap. Hollywood produces about 300 movies a year, and there is competition in any movie. Instead of waiting for the schedule to be staggered, it is better to unite and face it together. , there are some things you can’t avoid!”
"for example......"
"For example, in 1994, "The Shawshank Redemption," "Forrest Gump," "This Killer Isn't Too Cold," "Pulp," "Weird in Disguise," and "Schindler's List" were subsequently picked up by the market and film festivals. It proves that their classic films, which are difficult to surpass, all have the quality of making famous films. It was also from this year that Hollywood and the entire European and American regions suddenly exploded like being on stimulants, including your Chinese films. "Alive" and "Eating Man and Woman" were also born in that era, what does this mean?"
Faced with Carlton's rhetorical question, Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "I seem to remember films such as 'Braveheart', 'Seven Deadly Sins', 'Phantom' and 'Dumb and Dumber', which are also insurmountable classics in film history." The first work was done in those two years, right?"
"After 1995, a specialized research institution came to the conclusion that the prosperity of the film market is closely related to the emergence of good works. His Royal Highness understands this and does not intend to miss this, which may set off another round of A legendary opportunity in the film industry!"
"Does this have anything to do with me?"
"Alien, your Eastern humor is not funny at all. You produced six scripts in one year, and they were snatched up by the four major film companies. For this purpose, you gathered more than 20 of the top actors in Europe and America, including many Twenty million dollar mogul, that’s saying something!”
