Before the meal was finished, the two of them started talking on the phone constantly. Most of these calls were from fellow travelers, and they came for one purpose, which was to get a spot in the airport pick-up team.
Even Liu Huan called. Although he had expected this outcome, Liu Qingshan never expected that even Brother Huan would be alarmed.
Another person he didn't expect was Hong Kong's King Liu Jiahua. When he picked up the phone, he found out that Liu was the only guest singer who had been invited to Jackson's concert.
I believe everyone has heard of the great influence of Michael Jackson. His concerts are always popular. The largest number of people attending a concert was 130,000 people.
The atmosphere at the scene was very high. Many fans were so excited and screamed that they suffered from hypoxia, coma and shock. It is said that more than 2,000 people fainted.
At that time, people were sitting next to each other, and the fainted people were carried out one by one by their hands.
The most talked about thing is that there was once a disabled person who even lifted the wheelchair he was sitting in.
It would be a great blessing to be invited to one of his concerts.
Especially in China, which is relatively backward in the entertainment industry, basically no singer can be invited by such a big-name international superstar.
But when Michael Jackson held a concert in Hong Kong, he invited the only guest from China, Liu Jiahua.
At that time, they held an event in Hanguo and invited the most famous singers from various countries. They met with Liu Jiahua in person.
He also expressed great affection for accepting his invitation, because he knew that Liu Jiahua's reputation in China was definitely not lower than his own.
Liu Qingshan could not refuse Liu Jiahua's request, but in order not to arouse the other party's resentment, he did not agree on the spot, but asked Wang Jinghua to call Jackson's agent to inquire.
Fortunately, the attitude there was still very generous. Not only did they not refuse the Chinese artist's request to pick him up at the airport, they even agreed to the invitation to attend the cocktail party together.
Maybe Jackson doesn't want his artist to be forgotten by the world so quickly. In short, the other party has been trying its best to cooperate with this invitation instead of attaching various conditions.
After receiving a clear reply, Jin Xishan suddenly became nervous: "Tonight's welcome party is not simple. It can't be rude, and it can't make the guests feel that they are being used for hype, but it can't completely reject the media. This level is difficult to grasp. ah!"
"Don't worry, I'll ask Blainey from Universal Records first. Anyway, the songs I make will have to be distributed through them."
After a while, Blainey's voice came over the phone. Not surprisingly, the other party also expressed dissatisfaction first: "Mr. Liu should have informed us of such a big matter last night!"
Liu Qingshan quickly apologized: "I was so excited at the moment that I lost my sense of proportion."
They also know when enough is enough: "Global Global must participate in the airport pick-up event and will hold a welcome banquet for Mr. Jackson in the name of the Greater China branch!"
"I should be responsible for this matter. After all, I invited him here!"
"But the reason why you invited us is not because of the movie? We at Universal are also the European and American distributor of the movie, and the music produced must be managed by Universal Records. I think it is more suitable to hold it in our name."
"Then what can I do?"
"I just wanted to make a call to you. We will be responsible for the location and the phone bill for the banquet. Mr. Liu will be responsible for bringing some good wine. I know you have much more treasures than our big boss!"
"I only paid a little for the wine, but I still feel a little guilty. Do you think I should bear a little more for other expenses?"
"I understand Liu Qingshan's feelings, but Mr. Jackson is our compatriot, and we have relevant official expenses. Let us host it this time."
"Should we talk to Jackson?"
"Yes, I'll inform you over there, and I'll let you know if there are any changes."
The other party hung up the phone, but Shi Hui curled her lips: "Say boss, why are you still reluctant when someone rushes to spend money? You are such a down-to-earth person!"
Jin Xishan smiled and explained to his man: "What do you know? This is the most basic courtesy. He is the direct inviter, and even if Universal stepped forward to host a cocktail party this time, our attitude has not been expressed yet. Maybe we will have to Let’s hold it another time!”
Liu Qingshan nodded, "Universal is very shrewd and has spotted this opportunity to become famous almost for free, and the reason is very good. It seems that we are getting a lot of bargains, but in fact we have been calculated by others, and we have spent all our money. Guests invited with care, and immediate reception can best reflect us. Especially from the perspective of media reporting, do you think it is the value of news that is greater, or the follow-up reporting of news events that have been noticed for a long time? Suspected of hype?"
Shi Hui was very smart and immediately figured out the inner doorway. As expected, her little face turned gloomy: "Have we been plucked?"
"It's understandable, but their methods are fair and aboveboard. After all, whether it's the overseas release of the movie or the overseas promotion of newly recorded songs and V, Universal will play a very important role in the future."
"But we can't afford to be dumb. We are being bullied!"
Jin Xishan rolled his eyes at her: "Don't fan the flames. Universal's doing this is a normal business behavior. We would do the same thing. As a publisher and a business group from the same country, wouldn't they? Should we express concern about Jackson's trip? It's unreasonable for them to do nothing."
"But they robbed us of maximizing our profits!" Shi Hui was still angry and had a bad expression.
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "If they want to take over, let them do it. We can't force these foreigners to think in the same way as the Chinese. They have to understand each other. Humanity and sophistication are very naive in the eyes of foreigners." Otherwise, why would they continue to criticize us for being humble, courteous, and courteous? Because their thinking has been formatted, and their rigid and dogmatic way of behaving in the world is based on the rules and regulations of the law, and their law is The rules of the game played by the power of capital are not really based on morality. They have to learn from our five thousand years of cultural history!"
Jin Xishan said with a smile: "You understand, Xiaonizi, your boss is the oriole following behind, and the works in his hands are the means to kill everything and the ultimate focus of attention!"
But Liu Qingshan no longer dwells on this topic: "Jackson likes rural life, what about the advice I gave you last night?"
Jin Xishan said with a smile: "Our winery is the most rural area near Kyoto, and it's not far from us. It only takes an hour one way. The important thing is that our thousand-year wine cellar will attract him very much, and Zhang Yu Soju is the center of attention all over the world!"
"Then let's arrange it like this for the time being? Wait until we hear the other party's opinion?"
"Well, don't worry about scenic spots or the Forbidden City. Jackson is famous for his love of pastoral scenery. The greatest respect is to follow him as he likes."
Liu Qingshan looked at Shi Hui: "Wait until nine o'clock, call Mr. Zhang Jinghua from Yonglian County and ask him, is it okay for me to bring some foreign friends there? You don't need to tell him who they are for the time being. Let’s see where they have the oldest rural scenery. In addition, our wine cellar should be cleaned up and hidden, and don’t let the cameras capture our core secrets!”
For the next whole day, he and Jin Xishan had no intention of doing anything else. They just received phone calls from all directions, not to mention those who came directly to their door.
Wang Jinghua showed up around noon. It was her usual style to come to Sanren House in a hurry for a meal. Everyone who had tasted the exquisite dishes here had indeed lost interest in other high-end dishes.
She is so familiar with Mr. Bian and the others that she can even go to the kitchen to find food by herself, and ordinary employees also recognize her.
When she arrived today, she went straight to the small canteen in the backyard, thinking she went there because of the smell.
At this time, Liu Qingshan and the others were also planning to have lunch here. There were several musicians like Zheng Jun and Xiao Ou sitting on the table. Of course, there were also national celebrities like Li Yong and his wife.
View media people.
But they all have one thing in common, that is, they have a certain personal relationship with Liu Qingshan. They don't come just by making a phone call. Don't think that the door of Sanren House is so easy to get in.
The guests greeted Wang Jinghua politely when they saw him. This mainland gold medal manager has countless artists, and his market influence is no less than that of the boss of a major entertainment company.
After the greetings, Wang Jinghua called him aside and explained the content of the contact: "Jackson's agent said that everything depends on your arrangement. Even if you say that it is not appropriate to attend Universal's welcome reception after getting off the plane, they will stand by. Over here!"
After hearing this, Liu Qingshan was quite happy: "It's not necessary, but the premise is that you can't use others for hype, no matter who it is!"
"The other party also mentioned this, saying that they can be interviewed by the media and even filmed, but the only requirement is that you arrange it, and they will not accept anything else!"
"It seems that they have expressed their attitude very clearly. Have you told me what I think?"
"Of course the first priority is not to use hype, and they don't want to stay in a hotel. Of course, this only refers to Jackson and a limited number of necessary people. The other people can be arranged in the hotel."
"Then come and stay here. The surrounding environment of Sanrenlu is much safer than that of a hotel!"
"That's probably what they meant, because Jackson once interjected in the middle and asked whether our Sanrenlu was run by real Taoist elders."
"What did you say?"
"Of course I said yes. Mr. Bian is originally a Taoist, and there is also Mr. Wang who is a fake facade dressed in Taoist attire!"
