Although Chester and his band are Universal Music's main competitors, their appearance in the same overseas program is related to the face of the entire American entertainment industry.
Putting aside the relationship between opponents at this time, it is very consistent with the overall values of the old Americans and is also based on the overall view of national unity, which is more conducive to Taylor's future career development.
Taylor is mature beyond his years in this regard: "Chester and his friends have helped me a lot. As a compatriot, I am honored and deeply proud to work with them overseas. I said this ?"
Liu Qingshan smiled and stroked her hair: "That's about right. Just stick to this idea and don't forget to help me promote the movie!"
Blainey handed over a pair of headsets: "There will be people inside to remind you how you should answer, but it doesn't matter. You follow your own thinking, and the right to speak still belongs to you."
Jin Xishan helped Taylor put on the headset and whispered: "Your best friends usually don't have a good reputation. If these people get off the plane with us, someone will definitely ask this question. You have to answer carefully!"
"I just said they are just representatives of Brother Shanzi's fan club."
"It's okay to say that. Anyway, it can neither appear that the relationship between you is getting closer nor completely break away from each other. Otherwise, if you are photographed together by the media in the future, your speech today will be considered a lie."
"Then I will say that they are also my fans, but I don't know the families behind them."
"Well, remember not to explain deliberately. Just say a few words when someone asks, and then immediately change the topic to what they are most interested in."
Heinz tilted his head and whispered in Liu Qingshan's ear: "Ms. Jin is becoming more and more like a CEO now, and she is quite sophisticated in what she says and does!"
Liu Qingshan had a deep personal relationship with this person, and he also knew that some of the snowy areas in the future would be managed by Jin Xishan.
He nodded and smiled: "Actually, she taught me many of my ways of dealing with people. She is more capable than me in this regard!"
Of course Jin Xishan is willing to listen to such flattery, "I didn't teach you to be so talkative. You have deceived many girls, right?"
Whenever this topic was brought up, Liu Qingshan would immediately raise his hands and surrender.
Fortunately, there were so many people here today that there was no time for him to be embarrassed.
We stayed at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel that day.
Although Dad Hotel is also an international chain, Los Angeles is the world's entertainment center and has concentrated too much capital. It is not easy for foreign capital to settle here and take root.
Although their boss, Daddy Boonmee, is also a top rich man, his hotel chain is just one of his humble businesses.
Due to the delay at the airport, it was already dark when we arrived at the hotel, so most of the team chose to catch up on their sleep.
Only Liu Qingshan had no time to spare. He returned to the guest room and kept making and answering phone calls.
At nine o'clock in the morning, after breakfast, he was in the conference room on the sixth floor of the hotel, receiving interviews from no less than thirty media outlets.
This interview assignment is one of Universal's arrangements, and there are several similar interviews today.
The situation here is hugely different from that in the mainland. Even though he is more famous, since his works have come here, he has to follow their market rules.
It has the most developed communication media system in the world. Their main business covers all major forms, including television, radio, movies, newspapers, magazines and the Internet, and can even directly influence political elections.
Most of the media are affiliated with commercial media companies, and these commercial groups have unclear relations with Hollywood's Bada Pictures.
Therefore, if film works want to gain a foothold here, it is crucial to have good dealings with the media.
Moreover, the competition between the media is just like the competition between Bada Pictures. You must not be lax, otherwise the private retaliation methods of these media will be quite troublesome.
After all these things were dealt with, it was noon, and the Carlton Hotel served as the superficial receptionist.
A modest reception banquet was held for Liu Qingshan and his party.
The venue is located in the restaurant on the fourth floor of the hotel. It is a Western-style buffet style reception. Those who come are not deliberately invited because there is a formal cocktail party to be held tonight.
Even so, many people came over at noon that day, most of them people from the entertainment industry, including some very famous stars.
Of course, these people are not all here for Liu Qingshan. The season film collaboration team headed by Martin actually has considerable industry influence in the circle.
Mainly because Martin and his four legendary movie stars have deep cooperation with major film companies, and the works released by them will also take into account the investment of the film companies and their artists.
In other words, today's season has a certain intermediary business involvement. It is like a snake oil-like mediator that walks among the major film studios, playing a lubricating role among the forces of all parties.
Being able to have good dealings with such people will naturally be of great help to your future career. You must know that actors' usual announcement opportunities are promoted through the Actors Guild and their companies.
The season team belongs to the relationship between the actors union and the capital side. Being close to them, individual actors have a more reliable role than the official ones.
But these are not things that Liu Qingshan needs to worry about at the moment. For him, everyone who comes is a guest, and it is enough to express his enthusiasm for treating everyone equally.
Among the team that returned with him were at least Tracy Gerald's family, especially Ms. Tracy, who were strictly considered official members of the Hollywood Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. ..
Since this academy can directly affect the final selection results of the Oscars, the most important thing she needs to pay attention to is to avoid private contact with the film company and individual actors.
As for others, there is no need to avoid suspicion. Not only that, initiative and enthusiasm in social aspects are the most indispensable.
It was precisely because Martin and others helped him receive more guests that Liu Qingshan had time to communicate with Ludovic, or have secret conversations.
Ludovic is currently the president of Pan Asia Technology Company, a technology company with the same name as Luo Weixing's investment company. The actual boss is Liu Qingshan.
It is mainly engaged in the intermediary of cooperation between Liu Qingshan and famous high-tech companies such as Microsoft and Apple.
Very few people know the relationship between them, because the contents of the projects handed over through Pan-Asia are extremely high-level commercial secrets.
But the reason why Ludovic dared to come here openly was because he had a high-tech company of his own before, and part of his business also had business dealings with Microsoft's subsidiaries.
"So, the iPhone 3 prototype has been released?" Liu Qingshan was asking.
The design data for Apple's iPhone series of smartphones all come from him. Of course, these are just some raw data. If he showed all the data, his secrets would be guessed.
But it is the raw data that is almost worthless after the new products come out that will lead to the birth of the design concept of that generation of products.
Or these data are the basis for product upgrades. With them, Apple will save a large part of the investment in human and financial resources for new product development.
This data is almost free for Apple, because this part of the expenses has long been included in the shares Liu Qingshan previously obtained.
Of course, he can still get more dividends every year, because the way shareholders pay dividends is also closely related to performance and fluctuates.
Liu Qingshan's part is divided according to the highest level of dividends. For him, there is only an increase but no decrease.
But this part of the rights and interests is still classified as top secret, and even among the board members, few understand the contents of the contract.
In the same way, his cooperation with Microsoft is also in this form, and the number of people at Microsoft's level of knowledge is even lower. Only Gates and his assistants know the inside story.
"Well, iPhone 2 is already in production
In the line production stage, this is the trial machine they asked me to hand over! "
While talking, Ludovic handed over a paper bag containing at least five iPhone 2 smartphones that had not yet been officially launched.
Liu Qingshan simplified the steps of updating the iPhone. The most famous iPhone4 model in the previous life was implemented in advance on the iPhone3.
The purpose of this is to get ahead of the curve and bring it out before other smartphone manufacturers have the concept of a new generation of smartphones, which is equivalent to seizing more market advantages.
The greatest benefit in the future is the authorization of relevant patents, which also allows Apple to suddenly gain control over Qiucheng's patent rights in the field of smartphones.
The increase in Apple's sales also equals a huge increase in its year-end dividends.
For Liu Qingshan, who has future technology, it is just a casual thing, but he can get huge market benefits from it, so why not do it!
"Contact with Microsoft needs to be restrained during this period. If they have any technical needs, we can supply them in time. This will make it appear that we are acting in a planned way. After all, there is no relationship with Gates. Lao Qiao’s side is more appropriate, we have to guard against this!”
Ludovic nodded: "I understand what the boss means, he is afraid that Gates will become defensive against us!"
"Yes, once people are wary of someone, no matter how deep the foundation of cooperation is, there will be signs of deterioration. Therefore, it is particularly important whether to force them to make technological breakthroughs or to passively provide them according to their needs. ! And we can appropriately increase our remuneration at their urgent request!"
"Is the boss going to raise the price?"
"Let's take a step and take a look. There is no rush now. In addition, future price increases will go through your and Pan-Asia's accounts. Has the laboratory I asked you to prepare been implemented?"
