So when James came in, he passed by those people: "These people are senior managers of this award ceremony, and some of them belong to certain shareholders. These people, along with Fon Zelain, will be fired immediately!"
"Damn it James, what qualifications do you have to fire us? You are just a manager, and we are all the most qualified managers. You have internal shares in the award ceremony!"
Von Zelain yelled uncontrollably.
James changed his awed attitude when facing Liu Qingshan and said viciously: "I am hired from outside, but I have Mr. Murdoch's personal authorization letter in my hand. Let alone you, it is Sickles." Even if Mr. Te objects, I can fire you immediately!"
Liu Qingshan's favorable impression of this person has improved a bit, because although he didn't know much about James before, he knew Seacrest.
The latter is the real AA veteran, a student and colleague of founder Clark. After Clark had to retire due to a stroke in 2004, this person served as AA's chairman of the general assembly, which is the actual director of the board of directors.
Ryan Seacrest is far more famous than his teacher. He is not only the current host of the most-watched Ace show in the United States, but also the host of the most valuable reality TV show in Europe and the United States.
This person is very young, only 34 years old this year, but he has the same influence and market appeal as a Hollywood A-list star, and has deep relationships with many big-name superstars.
It is said that this person will join the senior management of FOX Broadcasting Company sooner or later. There are even rumors that he may be promoted to work next to Murdoch.
Even he can't influence James' penalty decision, which shows that this person is not a simple person.
After hearing James' undisguised threat, the arrogance of Feng Zelain's body disappeared a lot.
James ignored him and looked at Liu Qingshan again.
"Liu Qingshan, I actually got your phone number from Seacrest's secretary, and he called me and asked me to exercise my authority as president in his name, and hire several employees for me. People can completely make the decision!"
"But I just praised them so much that I want them to kneel down and apologize to me!"
Liu Qingshan's words shocked James, because this is a Western society, but there is no common form of apology in the East. It is illegal to kneel down. If you really do this, you will receive a court summons.
Looking at his troubled expression, Liu Qingshan's face gradually turned cold again.
"I would like to remind Mr. James that in addition to my status as an artist, I am also an Eastern martial artist. We martial arts practitioners take dignity more seriously than anything else. It is also our traditional rule to make sinners kneel. ! Another one is that I will retain my right to reputation, the right to be coerced, the right to be persecuted, and the right to sue for being slandered and framed. If the lost dignity is not compensated, my legal team will start a lawsuit against them this afternoon. Investigate, including your organizing committee!"
James was stunned for a moment. He did not expect Liu Qingshan's attitude to be so resolute, and the ability and scale of his legal team were no secret among the Americans.
He even had a deep understanding of Liu Qingshan, and of course he had sources of information about what he had done. He also knew that once this man got angry, he would not be afraid of even major events that would tear the sky apart.
What's more, this person's mysterious abilities are even more terrifying. He knows that if he doesn't do what he says, it may really cause a major social incident. What's scary is that you can't catch him at all.
Just doing this was beyond the scope of his authority, and he didn't want to bear the possible illegal consequences.
So he immediately called Seacrest. Liu Qingshan didn't pay attention to what the two said on the phone.
He walked back to the band members and said, "Don't clean it up yet. Someone will help you all reset it later, and they may give you some compensation.
Unlike the panicked Mongolian band, Elstner and the others were not nervous at all, and the percussionist Aka even had a joking expression on his face.
"Hu Richa, our boss just hopes that someone will cause trouble for him. Isn't there a saying in your country of China that horses eat grass and get rich?"
Hu Richa gave him a funny look: "That makes a man rich without windfall, and a horse fattened without night grass!"
"Yes, that's it! I'm not talking about you. It seems that the one who made you nervous just now is still a lack of understanding of our boss! Don't mention this in the United States, it is in Africa. As long as the regular army does not appear, the boss will still do it. There is a way to keep them from eating and walking around!"
"You are right about this. We from Inner Mongolia may not be so accurate!"
"In short, you will never suffer a loss when working with our boss. Even if he kills someone on the spot, he will still get away with it."
Liu Qingshan glared at him fiercely: "Don't talk nonsense here, now is a civilized society, forget those tribal thoughts in your mind!"
Aka continued to smile playfully without caring at all, "I'm not from a tribe, but I grew up in a big city! By the way, boss, are you just waiting for someone to cause trouble? What compensation will they offer this time?"
As soon as he heard this, Martinez also became interested: "We are not short of money. It would be great to have one more performance slot. As my fame grows, my performance on the stage will increase in the future!"
Elstner laughed at him: "It's a beautiful idea. There are only a few shows, and we've already taken half of them. How can we have any chance to perform!"
Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded: "It is impossible to win more awards, and no matter how shady it is, it is impossible to change it so casually. Besides, I am not interested in those awards, but they may provide certain compensation in other aspects."
"Other performance opportunities? Our time is too tight, so we may not be able to benefit from it this time."
Liu Qingshan smiled faintly and turned his head to look at Yiliqi, who was the leader of their band.
"Has Bennington returned to Los Angeles?"
"That guy said he was going home first and would meet us tomorrow."
"Would you like to go on "American Idol" here?"
This program was planned by Liu Qingshan, and Fox bought the production rights from England.
Seacrest, the chairman of AA’s conference, is the host of this flagship program that currently has the highest ratings in the United States.
If Hanggai Band and Linkin Park Band can perform on this show, it will be a huge help to the former's reputation.
Liu Qingshan was thinking about how to repay the Hanggai band for this help. It would be a good idea to give back in this way.
Ilic immediately understood, "It would be great to be able to perform on that show, but it's unlikely. Even a local band like Linkin Park can't get on if they want to."
He obviously didn't understand the twists and turns inside. Before Liu Qingshan could explain it to him, James hung up the phone and came over.
"Seacrest said that Mr. Liu's will is the primary consideration in everything! And he will personally come forward to get this done!"
Liu Qingshan nodded expressionlessly: "It's best if he comes forward, otherwise those people who are fired by you will be able to find other jobs quickly!"
These words sounded plain, but after James thought about it for a moment, he broke out in a cold sweat.
This is obviously another way of warning from Liu Qingshan, to completely block these people away from this industry. This kind of ruthless force of eradicating the roots will only become more and more terrifying the more I think about it.
But obviously there was no room for him to think too much at this time, "Mr. Liu is saying that he doesn't want to see them in this industry anymore?"
Liu Qingshan smiled coldly: "Actually, you are a smart man, and I am not stupid. If there is no careful plan and arrangement for what happened today, you won't even believe it! The people behind them must have a high status, and I don't ask to deal with that." I’ve already given you a lot of face, but I don’t want anyone who appears in front of me to be kind!”
Liu Hua has been watching with cold eyes. Although he cannot understand English communication, he can analyze the trend of the matter from Liu Qingshan's face.
At this moment he walked up and said: "Boss, do you want me to inform the lawyer?
Is the group coming here today? "
Someone will translate these words to James in time. Not to mention, Liu Hua's accurate psychological grasp of human relations and sophistication is very good.
Sure enough, James's face changed color when he heard this. He knew the consequences if this matter got serious.
So he immediately turned his head and whispered something to a certain attendant, and that person immediately turned and left.
Their whispers could not be hidden from Liu Qingshan, who was secretly having fun at this time.
"Mr. James, there is one more thing you should want to know. Music is only my third career, not even my second career, so I don't care whether any awards will be awarded to me or whether I will sing in the future. It’s not important to me either.”
These words are even more cruel. He is warning the other party very bluntly not to try to make amends in the aftermath. He is not afraid of any industry threats.
And there is a reason for his ruthless attitude, because his main business is in movies, and it is known to everyone that he will come to Hollywood to develop in the future. Of course, the purpose of doing such a ruthless thing is to serve as a warning to others.
Even if the West does not have an understanding of "Sun Tzu's Art of War", judging from his determined attitude of making a fuss out of a molehill, such a mentality is not difficult to guess!
Otherwise, if it happens once, there will be a second time. If this tendency is not nipped in the cradle, even if Liu Qingshan is not afraid of those overt and covert tricks, it will definitely be a waste of time and energy.
Therefore, such counterattacks are inevitable. It is just a matter of time. Unexpectedly, this time it will appear in advance.
The problem is that such a public slap in the face will be difficult for people to accept, especially for local Americans. When a foreigner like him performs so strongly, it is easy to cause backlash.
