This man knows how to hype

Chapter 468 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
ear.

Lu Qinyao's singing continues.

"Short Song" is a song from "The Longest Day in Chang'an". The arrangement is quite ancient. It is not comparable to those "ancient style pop songs". Its lyrics are directly derived from Li Bai, which is very grand.

Of course, the most important thing is that this kind of arrangement is suitable for catwalks. Some songs are nice to listen to, but they are not suitable as background music for catwalks.

In fact, there is another song that Xu Xiyu likes more and whose arrangement is more suitable, called "Qing Ping Le: Spring Day in the Forbidden Courtyard".

However, considering the meaning of the lyrics of this song it is not quite appropriate.

Therefore, Xu Xiyu only copied this "Short Song".

As for other traditional Chinese music, they were all produced by the local team of Blue Star. He couldn't show off all the music he knew, because if he showed off too much, he wouldn't have any to show off next time.

"The day is so short, a hundred years of suffering is easy; the sky is so vast, the calamity is so long..."

Listening to the song, Xu Xiyu said to Nancy: "Please help me say thank you for his invitation. I will consider it."

When Inoue Saburo heard this, he said with Japanese politeness: "Xu-san, I have admired Chinese culture since I was a child. Unfortunately, I am not smart enough, and Chinese is too profound.

Therefore, I failed to learn Chinese, but this did not prevent me from liking Chinese culture. Today, seeing such a wonderful performance, I could hardly contain my excitement.

I want the people of my country to appreciate this unique skill from a great country, so please agree to it, please!"

As he said this, Saburo Inoue actually bowed 90 degrees towards Xu Xiyu.

This scene made Mao Gaojun and Qi Xiangyang frown.

Especially Mao Gaojun, who works for Lynn Capital, whose largest financial backer comes from Wall Street.

So, his English is quite good.

And what Saburo Inoue spoke was English. After all, if he spoke Japanese, no one here would understand him, and Nancy wouldn't be able to translate it.

Seeing that Inoue Saburo was so polite to Xu Xiyu, Mao Gaojun became more thoughtful.

But he didn't interrupt, just watched quietly.

Soon, Nancy translated it again. Xu Xiyu replied, "I'm really sorry, I really can't give you an answer."

Inoue Saburo nodded when he heard this, smiled and changed the subject: "Actually, I came here this time to appreciate the culture of a great country;

Secondly, I really want to meet with Xu Sang. To be honest, I am a fan of yours and I like your works very much. So, I also want to talk to you about the agency of your works.

I hope to be able to bring your works to Japan for screening and other development, especially the new works you are currently working on.”

This is of course nonsense. He had never thought of introducing Xu Xiyu's works at the beginning. It was just a sudden idea.

However, although the idea came up on the spur of the moment, the subsequent operation methods have been verified countless times.

Why does he want to emphasize the new work being produced?
Because works in production are easier to interfere with. Since you are planning to enter the Japanese market, you can't publicly do something that hurts the emotions of Japanese audiences, right?
Furthermore, in order to achieve better results in the Japanese market and other markets that Japan can influence, do you need to add some content that is friendly to Japanese audiences?
Moreover, you have added Japan-friendly content, and in return, we hope to show you financial support.

As the saying goes, one step forward, one step at a time. Once you accept the investment, some things become hard to say.

Anyway, this is how Europe and Hollywood tamed Chinese practitioners.

Unfortunately, China's entertainment industry did not take advantage of the Chinese market and instead domesticated it.

Of course, part of the reason is also because the audience doesn’t recognize it.

Hollywood will produce "special edition" content, but some viewers do not support this behavior and feel that they are "being flattered for money."

In fact, from a long-term perspective, we should support the special edition and ask them to supply more.

Once the amount of special content in a movie reaches a certain limit, for cost considerations, they will not shoot two sets of content, and the special edition will become the global version.

Xu Xiyu naturally understood this routine.

Therefore, when Inoue Saburo said he wanted to discuss cooperation on a work, he still made an excuse: "We can discuss this in detail when we have a chance. This is not the place to discuss this."

"Then I'll visit your company another day." After hearing this, Saburo Inoue did not argue too much, but just bowed slightly and replied.

After that, he looked at Nancy and said, "Ms. Walton, I have finished talking about my affairs."

Hearing this, Nancy turned to Xu Xiyu and said, "Xu, I think I'd better go around and take a look by myself. If you have nothing else to do, Inoue and I will take our leave first."

"In that case, Lao Qi and I will also take our leave." Mao Gaojun said at this time.

"Take care, everyone." Xu Xiyu did not try to keep them.

Hearing this, Mao Gaojun nodded to Nancy again and walked out.

Seeing this, Nancy also walked away with Saburo Inoue.

When they reached the door, the red-haired foreign girl who was at the end of the line finally revealed her true nature. She gave Xu Xiyu a wink behind everyone's back and then walked out.

Seeing the door closed, Xu Xiyu turned his head to look out the window again and fell into deep thought.

A few minutes later……

Mao Gaojun, who had exchanged contact information with Nancy and Saburo Inoue, took Qi Xiangyang to a deserted place to talk.

"What do you think is the reason why Xu Xiyu asked us to stay here to watch this show? Is it to show off that he is popular in front of Americans and Japanese?" Qi Xiangyang asked doubtfully.

"No, why do I feel that he hopes that we can hook up with Inoue?" Mao Gaojun shook his head.

"Collude? Collude to deal with him together?" Qi Xiangyang almost laughed.

"That Inoue and Nancy, they might be from some messy organization." Mao Gaojun said thoughtfully. Qi Xiangyang understood what he said.

He frowned and said, "Is this grandson of the surname Xu planning to do something to us again? If there is something wrong with the identities of Nancy and that little devil, then if we collude with them, wouldn't it be easy for us to get into trouble?"

"Yes! That's what I'm worried about, especially me. I haven't washed myself clean yet. If I go in again, it will be really troublesome.

So, let’s do our own thing and don’t be fooled. Besides, I have American capital behind me, so there’s no need to pay attention to these two people who came out of nowhere.”

Hearing this, Qi Xiangyang nodded, and then said: "Do you think Xu Xiyu would believe the things about those two movies?"

"I will definitely believe it. Hua Qing originally planned to invest in "Hua Sheng Stew Shop 2", but it was later rejected. With this as a foundation, Xu Xiyu will definitely pay attention to "The Demon Fox of Tang Dynasty".

Given his personality, he might even launch a comedy project to compete with "Hua Sheng Stew 2" and another project to compete with "The Demon Fox of Tang Dynasty".

Chen Shengle has made one bad movie after another in recent years. He might be okay as a producer, but he has no ability to be a director.

Xu Xiyu would never have thought that our main investment projects were two other projects. One of these two movies had nothing to do with us, and the other was just a box office hit.

Hua Qing can only do a limited number of self-made projects every year. If they come to a fight, he will definitely not win. He can't win in terms of manpower, funds, channels, etc. Mao Gaojun said with a smug smile on his face.

"But what if he's not stubborn?"

"Not stubborn? It's okay not to be stubborn. Comedy is Hua Qing's strong point. The combined box office revenue of "Annual Meeting Can't Stop" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is close to 60 billion.

The lead actor, Wang Pengpeng, has already established a certain reputation. If he gives up comedy in this round of projects because he doesn’t want to compete with “Hua Sheng Stew Shop 2”, it would be like cutting off one’s arm, which is also a good thing for us.”

"Hehe, let this grandson also have a taste of the feeling of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west." Qi Xiangyang chuckled.

As he was laughing, he looked at the venue of the Hanfu show and continued, "How should we treat this National Style Cultural Festival?"

"I have to think about it, I have to think about it carefully..." Mao Gaojun became thoughtful.

On the other side, Nancy was also asking the same question: "What are you going to do if Xu Xiyu doesn't agree to arrange for someone to perform in Japan?"

Hearing this question, Inoue glanced at Nancy and said calmly: “Ms. Walton, those performing guests are not Xu Xiyu’s men.

They are free people, so if Xu Xiyu doesn't agree, I will bypass him and directly invite them to perform in Japan.

Not only that, I also plan to invite all the intangible cultural heritage inheritors here to go to Japan for cultural exchanges. I think they should be happy to go international.”

After saying this, a smile appeared on his face.

The National Style Culture Festival needs the support of these intangible cultural heritage inheritors. If Xu Xiyu does not intend to cooperate, then we will just cut off the source of the problem.

We only need to deal with some of the inheritors and we can still cause trouble for the "National Style Culture Festival". It's just a matter of spending money.

After hearing this, Nancy frowned slightly. She was wondering whether she should tell Xu Xiyu about these things.

Inoue naturally noticed Nancy's expression, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Ever since Nancy said she had Xu Xiyu's phone number, Inoue became wary of Nancy.

Despite being on guard, he was willing to reveal the plan with only one purpose, which was to give Xu Xiyu a sense of urgency through Nancy's mouth.

Without some pressure, how could Xu Xiyu seriously consider it?

Inoue was not stupid and knew that Xu Xiyu was just dealing with him.

Thinking of this, he deliberately said: "Miss Walton, I don't know how close you are to Xu Sang, but please don't tell him about my plan just now, please!"

After saying that, he bowed 90 degrees again.

When Nancy heard this, she instantly made up her mind: she had to tell Xu Xiyu.

Just when she made the decision, her cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Mao Gaojun calling.

After the call was connected, she just said hello and heard Mao Gaojun say in fluent English: "Nancy, there is something I think may be helpful to you.

Downstairs from the window where we just stood, there was a man holding a mobile phone and broadcasting live. His name was Bu Zhaojie, and he was the ex-husband of Xu's close subordinate.

He is also Xu's right-hand man. He is very greedy. Perhaps you can communicate with him. I will give you his contact information later. "

After saying that, Mao Gaojun hung up the phone and sent her Bu Zhaojie's phone number.

Looking at the phone number on the text message, Nancy fell into deep thought again.

At the same time, on the other side, in the side audience seats of the Hanfu show, a foreign woman, looking at the horse-faced skirt of Ming Dynasty Hanfu, also fell into deep thought.

After thinking about it for a while, she said to the person next to her: "Let's go, there's nothing to see."

"Will you not observe it again?"

"No need. The clothes in this show are not for everyday wear. Perhaps they can only be worn on certain festivals or occasions. Therefore, this National Style Culture Festival will not pose any threat to us, so there is no need to take it too seriously." The woman said in a light tone.

"I think so too. The world's aesthetic rights ultimately belong to us in the West."
