Jin Xishan's songs are like nostalgic movies and classic musicals on Broadway. The rich and deep voice uses musical notes to describe the Ukiyokai with mixed flavors and myriad flavors.
The bright style and slightly helpless feeling in the song express simple sadness, but also reveal the strength.
Through the helplessness of reality, it is easy to evoke people's emotional memories and immerse them in the melancholy mood of love.
Liu Qingshan came under the stage at this time and walked directly in front of James.
The words Jin Xishan said to him on stage were telling him that James had objections to their performance.
Sure enough, when the two of them were still a few meters apart, James was already complaining: "Dear Mr. Liu, I know this is your Chinese land, but there is an English album in today's autograph session. Besides, the album here is We at Warner have put in a lot of effort into all the arrangements!”
Liu Qingshan smiled at him and cupped his fists: "The ending song is an English song. I was just going to ask for your opinion! Do you want to sing "yeah!" or that song "hello"?"
??????????????? His original intention was not like this. He originally planned to continue Jin Xishan's song "Meeting", but announced that the live performance of more than half an hour would be terminated.
The encore was actually considering the emotions of James and Warner.
He didn't expect that this person's reply was quite rude, but what was conveyed in his tone was not anger or grievance, but ardent hope: "Oh, my God Jesus, the headquarters has been paying attention to this performance. I miss Mr. Liu We can’t end today’s performance in a hurry, because the Internet in our country is exploding!”
As he was speaking, temporary assistant Sylvain handed over the open laptop at the same time.
Liu Qingshan took it and took a few glances, and immediately understood what was going on.
Because the page displayed on the computer is the homepage of Warner Music's website, which is densely packed with various messages. Judging from the release time of each message, it is obviously synchronized with the performance here.
However, Liu Qingshan's first reaction was to look around: "There is no authorization for live broadcast, and it is dinner time in Los Angeles. No one told you that you can watch the performance here at the same time!"
Faced with the signs that he seemed to be about to beat him up, Sylvan showed no panic on his face: "It's your Qingshan Bar who is broadcasting live. Of course, it's just intermittent and scattered videos, not a complete live broadcast!"
Liu Qingshan said happily: "Even if it comes from Qingshan Bar, there will be no problem on my side!"
He turned to look at James: "You mean to perform both songs? This will greatly affect my signing activities, and there are obviously many more fans here than before. The time has been delayed, your organizer What about the contract with Cyberport?"
There was still obvious urgency in James's expression: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, we have already informed the management here that we will delay the end time by one hour! Of course, it has delayed Mr. Liu's time and we have There is compensation! Here, here are two contracts, one of which is for Miss Jin!"
Liu Qingshan was surprised for a moment. After reading it, he learned that it was an interview with two people.
Among them, the one who invited Liu Qingshan was the Lao-American "Times". It is one of the country's three major current affairs weeklies. It has a wide range of content, mostly expressing opinions on international issues and tracking and reporting on major international events.
Jin Xishan was invited by Entertainment Weekly, a subsidiary of the magazine, which covers movies, television, music, Broadway theater, books and pop culture.
Its sister publications are People Weekly, which mainly reports weekly celebrity stories, and Entertainment Weekly, which mainly reports entertainment media news and important reviews.
They both belong to Time Warner, which is the Warner headquarters in James' mouth. They are the largest multinational media company in the United States.
In terms of publishing business alone, Time Warner accounts for four of the top five best-selling magazines in the United States, namely Time, People, Sports Illustrated and Fortune. In addition, other famous magazines include Including Entertainment Weekly, Fortune Magazine, instyle, etc. .
International Warner, where James works, is an independent listed company spun off from the management and execution department of the headquarters, and is engaged in some commercial transactions that have little to do with Time Warner's main projects.
However, since it is under the direct jurisdiction of the headquarters management, it actually has the right to supervise various companies under the name of Time Warner. It does not have much say in the actual business, but it can influence?????????? ???????Performance review issues that affect any senior manager outside of headquarters.
In other words, the nature of its so-called main business of commercial trade is no less important, but it is just a subsidiary of the headquarters' huge business relationship network, while its overall market supervision responsibilities are the real responsibility hidden behind the scenes. strength.
Perhaps its existence does not pose any threat to other companies, but it is a terrifying existence within Warner.
Because according to the business operating model in Western society, the big boss and the board of directors will use headhunting companies to entrust managers to manage the company on their behalf.
International Warner is the market supervisor for these managers hired by Warner, and its nature is somewhat similar to the internal corporate discipline and inspection department in mainland China.
But the biggest difference is that the commercial attributes of International Warner can involve normal business activities, and the source of funds for its daily operations also comes from its superficial commercial and trade operations.
In other words, while they are responsible for their own profits and losses, they are also responsible for reviewing the performance of senior managers within the entire group.
Therefore, after Nash is promoted in the future, he will first be transferred here to make a transition. Only with good results can he officially enter the high-level position at Warner headquarters.
Because his expertise is in managing entertainment industry affairs, leaving Warner Records and going elsewhere will require a period of learning before getting involved in day-to-day business.
If you enter Warner International directly, you will avoid the learning stage, which is the simplest development route before entering the headquarters.
Liu Qingshan asked directly at this time: "Why is the interview about me in "Times"? Instead of "People" or "Entertainment Weekly"?"
James looked like he knew you would ask this question: "Times rarely publishes biographies or interviews because it is a news-oriented current affairs weekly! I know what Mr. Liu is worried about. Is it because of this company?" Are the political elements contained in the publication too sensitive?"
This weekly magazine does not have exclusive interviews with people, but the people who are qualified to appear on its pages are either national leaders, artistic giants, or pioneers of the times.
Just look at the list of people it has chosen, including Mahatma Gandhi, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Harry S. Du Ruman, Winston Churchill, Richard Nixon, Ruhollah Khomeini, George W. Bush, Vladimir Putin... .

Of course, there are also Chinese people in this long list. In addition to the beloved Grandpa Mao, Mr. Deng who appeared on the cover twice, and the Chiang couple who fled to the Bay Island in the early years.
It can be seen from this that Liu Qingshan dares to let himself appear on this list? This fame is no joke, it has profound historical significance.
Liu Qingshan nodded: "This is obvious. What I have always insisted on is not to have any connection with any similar topics and events, so my decision is to refuse, but I still thank Mr. James for his kindness!"
James's expression was still calm: "Mr. Liu, don't be anxious about your decision. We can talk about this matter slowly. There will always be a way that satisfies all aspects, right?"
"With all due respect, why did you choose this publication specifically?"
"?????????????????? It's not just my opinion. Besides, I don't have that much ability! I will find someone to explain the details to you. Now is not the right time. I think we should first implement Miss Jin’s invitation as soon as possible!”
Artists who accept such invitations will also receive notification fees, but the amount will not be too much. Artists are more interested in their qualifications to join. Not every popular star is qualified to appear on the cover of "Entertainment Weekly" , of course, except for the characters involved in such incidental topics.
Although "Entertainment Weekly" is only one of the 64 magazines owned by Time Warner Publishing, and its ranking is quite low, it is also the main consumer guide for popular culture in the United States and one of the official recommended readings in the European and American fashion industry.
"Sister Xishan's announcement is still acceptable. Have you talked to him?" Liu Qingshan asked.
James shook his head: "Without your permission, I don't dare to leak it out in advance, even to Miss Jin, I have to be even more cautious!"
Liu Qingshan chuckled: "Am I that important?"
"You are not important but can you still be selected by Time Magazine? Of course, the recommendation from our Warner headquarters is also one of the main reasons, but this does not mean anything. At least in terms of the current world humanistic environment, your number of supporters is The tallest one right now, no one can compare with you!”
"Should I be happy or panic about your evaluation? Why do I feel a little scared?"
"What does this mean? Is it a Chinese proverb?"
"It's not important. What's important is that I guess it's difficult for me to accept this invitation, and I don't have time recently!"
"So we don't have to worry about this topic. Let's discuss it slowly when we have time in the future! So, this is how Miss Jin's matter has been decided?"
"First of all, we need to ask for her personal opinion, right? Furthermore, it's her agency. You'd better say hello in advance. After all, for us Orientals, being on the mainstream entertainment pages of Laos and the United States has a huge social and market impact. It’s no small feat!”
"Then I will ask Miss Jin for her opinion first. As long as she nods, everything else will be easy to talk about!"
