These people all came with gifts, but they were never carried in their hands, but in the hands of the entourage behind them.
The relationship between people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is pretty much the same across the three places. It is the most basic courtesy to bring gifts to your doorstep.
Grace collected a lot of gold and silver jewelry, diapers, chocolates, black tea, American ginseng and so on, filling the whole room.
However, this also means that there will be no shortage of banquets with full moon wine, so the people here are no different from those in the mainland.
When they came to the courtyard, the guests really refused to go in. No matter how much Liu Qingshan persuaded them, they refused to come. After all, they knew that the guests who came today were all grown men.
Later, several nannies moved in tables, chairs and tea sets. Fortunately, the daytime temperature in Xiangjiang remained around 25 degrees Celsius even in November, and everyone on the street wore short-sleeved slippers.
With Grace's consent, Liu Qingshan immediately asked Fan Shengyang to take people to the restaurant to order food, because these people were rushing to invite Liu Qingshan to dinner, and everyone was hungry.
Liu Qingshan's excuse was that Huang Guanxiong left Xiangjiang for something and temporarily handed him the task of taking care of his three mothers.
There is no need to be evasive in his considerations. Some things are generous and generous, which makes it easier to block the spread of rumors.
Besides, when Jin Xishan came to Xiangjiang this time, he wanted to stay and help for a while, and his tone was secretive. It would be better to be less worried.
While everyone was waiting for dinner, Liu Qingshan first called Mou Zhixiong and told him something about today.
Mou Zhixiong was fully understanding. After all, he was born and raised in Xiangjiang: "Mr. Liu, I won't hide it from you. The extra tickets are limited. Since you asked, I won't keep any of them." I’ll give them all to you, but there are only about a dozen of them!”
Liu Qingshan turned on the speakerphone deliberately. He turned his head to look at Hong Dabao, saw him shaking his head, and immediately asked: "Is Mr. Nash here too? I'll ask him again, Mr. Mou said if it's possible How many more do you want?"
"The big boss is here, but this tour is not a project of the record company, but a personal operation of Warner International! I suggest Mr. Liu not to ask our boss, but to ask James, he may still have some surplus! "
"Thank you very much! I'll contact him right away. Let's meet tomorrow and talk about record sales!"
"Isn't it too late to talk tomorrow? The venue for the autograph session is already being decorated! I'll come find you in the evening. It's at Union Hospital, right? I'll bring you the tickets by the way!"
Liu Qingshan ended the call here and immediately called James.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect Mr. Liu to come and ask about this matter. I have been dealing with this matter for almost the past two days and gave out all the VIP tickets within my ability!"
"I don't care, I'm trying to find a way to get dozens of them for me. I have a lot of friends here, so it's hard to decide who to give it to and who not to give it to."
"The problem is that I don't have any more, no, there are three more, but they can't help you solve the problem!"
"Let me think of a solution, how about I call your boss?"
The boss of Warner International is Warner Brothers. Of course, the Warner Brothers referred to here are only three generations of descendants of the Warner family. In fact, Liu Qingshan has only met the boss once and has not spoken a few words.
However, he had contacted the third son of Warner Bros., who was also a company executive, many times on the phone, and it was a purely business relationship.
Because he didn't want to get involved too deeply. There was a lot of internal fighting between the three generations of Warner Brothers, and he didn't want to get involved in these messy things.
Nash, the boss of the record company, was from the Laosan family. It was because of this relationship that he had several phone calls with that person.
James didn't know this. As soon as he heard that Liu Qingshan was going to the big boss to ask for votes, his whole head immediately swelled: "Mr. Liu, don't, it would be great if there is something to connect us. If our boss knows my ability, If not, I might be replaced next month!"
Liu Qingshan secretly laughed in his heart, but he kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really didn't think about it so much. I thought Warner Bros. had the tickets! I didn't expect to go to him directly to do this.
convenient! "
"It doesn't matter, as long as you haven't called yet! Otherwise, I'll ask Nash to contact you. He may have a few more. In addition, I will get a few more from where I promised others, but no It must be the first performance!"
"There's no problem with that, as long as you have the votes!"
"Let me tell you the truth. Nash promised to give Hollywood a dozen tickets, but he gave me 30 tickets. Don't say it was me!"
"In this case, I'd better contact him myself, and it won't be easy for you to come forward again!"
"That's fine! Let's go at six o'clock. I'll reply to you before six o'clock today. After all, if you make a promise and then go back on it, you have to find a suitable excuse!"
"Thank you very much! But it's not for nothing. When you come to me next March, I will have completed a script by then, and we will discuss it in detail then!"
James' voice on the phone was obviously very excited: "Great! But could you please Mr. Liu tell me a little bit about the plot?"
"A science fiction film, the plot wanders between dreams and reality, allowing dream thieves to steal information in their dreams!"
"Hey guys, what a new theme! This project must be left to us at Warner Bros.!"
"Since I told you, I plan to hand it over to Warner Bros. for production, but you have to keep it a secret for me, and your boss can't talk about the specific content, otherwise there will be no next cooperation!"
Then he called Nash again. Surprisingly, Nash took the initiative to mention the matter as soon as he answered the phone: "I thought Mr. Liu didn't need the tickets. I had already prepared them for you! Isn't 13 tickets enough?"
"The number 13 is not very auspicious. Give me 20. I know it's a bit difficult, but I can't help it. My friends all cornered me in the hospital!"
"20 pictures is really difficult, let's take 15 pictures. This is my greatest right!"
"Then 15 pictures, not from the same show, right?"
"How can it be the same show? You don't know how popular the tickets are this time. I only had 3 mobility spots. This was impossible before!"
"This is not enough, Mr. Nash, do you think I should go to Glei's place and ask again?"
"Liu Qingshan, actually you don't need a ticket, and you can bring a few people in, but it's hard to say whether there are seats! You might as well ask Gree. Although they are not the organizer, they can charge a few people to the stadium. The quota should not be a big problem, after all, internal staff also need seats, so they can’t stand!”
"Yes, I am considered an insider and need to perform on stage!"
"Have you called Mr. Mou?"
"I called him, but he only gave me a few."
"It's understandable. As the president of a record company, I don't have the right to ask for more copies. How much power can he, a regional boss, have! Your and Miss Jin's records will go on sale tomorrow. Has he mentioned this issue to you? "
"Let's meet and talk tonight!"
"When the location is decided, let me know and I'll go there and give you a little surprise then!"
"Huh? Is there still a surprise? Can you give me some information in advance? I don't want a check. It is a glorious cultural tradition of our Chinese people to not be rewarded for no merit!"
"Hahaha, I'm overthinking it, Mr. Liu. I don't have a check to give you, but I will introduce someone to you!"
"Introducer? Don't mess around. I'm not interested in meeting someone I don't know. Besides, people who follow your path must be asking for something from me. I'm very busy now!"
"You know that person, and you should have a good impression of him!"
"Okay then, you can bring it with me when the time comes!"
By the time Liu Qingshan put down the phone and counted the possible votes with his fingers, the guests already had expressions of astonishment.
It was Hong Dabao who spoke first: "They say you are doing very well in the United States, but it is just hearsay after all. I didn't expect your words to be so weighty, with dozens of words coming out of your mouth. We guys are together." I just got two tickets!"
Liu Qingshan didn't take the challenge, "There are probably thirty or forty pieces, I'll keep 10 of them."
, Brother Dabao, you can arrange the rest! "
"No!" Hong Dabao immediately became anxious, "30 tickets are not enough for us to share. What's the use of keeping the tickets? I heard someone say on the phone, how many people can you bring in!"
Just as Liu Qingshan was about to retort, the cell phone in his hand suddenly rang, and the caller turned out to be the man he was looking for next, Greg Frey.
"Shanzi, you didn't come to report to the band when you came to Xiangjiang. We can't delay the rehearsal!"
Liu Qingshan talked about the situation here and smiled on the other side: "No matter how big the problem is, you and your people can come in, but I can't give tickets to your friends, because Abby and Zain are all on their own." Find a way to buy the tickets!".z.
Abby and Zain are his daughter and son. Now that he has said that, Liu Qingshan can no longer bring up the matter of asking for votes. "How many people can be brought in?"
"You and Miss Jin will definitely be there. I'll give you three more places. If there are more, I think you can come in, but you can only stand and watch the show!"
"Where are the seats? Don't arrange them behind the stage. I won't go there even if you pay money for that seat!"
"Haha, have you never seen a performance at Hung Hom Stadium? This venue has four sides of the stage, but there is no mention of the back of the stage! Don't worry, they are all infield seats, next to the elevators!"
The four-sided stage is a type of stage. It is located in the center of the venue, with no blind spots in the line of sight. The audience can clearly see every detail on the stage.
For performances on a three-sided stage, the staff can take care of them at any time, while for performances on a four-sided stage, only actors are usually left on the stage, and they can only use lifts to get on and off the stage. Once they stand on the stage, everything on the scene is controlled by the actors alone.
The most famous concert performance venue in the Chinese music scene is the Hong Kong Hung Hom Stadium. This venue has four sides of the stage, and audiences from every angle can watch the performance without blind spots.
Of course, you can also choose the stage setting with a three-sided stage, because if the three-sided stage wants to produce a more dazzling effect, it will definitely require the perfect cooperation of the staff, and the staff must be allowed to operate on site.
For example, when Jay Chou comes to Hung Hom, he must choose a three-sided stage, because his performances must have a lot of stage style changes, and there must be special effects devices such as wires.
