Chapter 946: Contradiction Resolution
Amy Hatton is a professional agent, and although her most important and famous artist, Nicky Thompson, is a singer, she is not only familiar with the music industry, but also knows a lot about the entire entertainment industry and even the fashion industry in the United States. When she looks at Xiao Yao, she doesn't just look at it as a Chinese singer or a star singer.
Although Xiao Yao is a native of China and does not seem to have any intention of coming to the United States to develop, in fact, his popularity and connections in the United States are very good.
In music, fashion and film, Xiao Yao has worked with celebrities or corporate companies in the United States. His work achievements and work achievements can be called very eye-catching, and he naturally has a good relationship with those star artists or enterprises.
Needless to say, in terms of music, his relationship with Daydreams is enough weight. In terms of fashion, he has a close relationship with Eva. Not only the models, but Eva's top management is said to appreciate him very much. In terms of film and television, Xiao Yao's animated film and a parkour movie shot in the United States are both very good at the box office in North America, and they naturally have a good relationship with the American film company that represents the North American distribution of these two films.
In addition, the identity of the founder of parkour sports gives him a very special position in a special group of young people around the world. In his early years, he hit the stock prices of large airlines, hijackings, robberies, kidnappings and many other incidents, which also made him have a great impression of him among most Americans, especially young people. As a star, these can be converted into benefits.
Unlike many foreign stars who try to come to Hollywood for development and actively seek cooperation with Hollywood, Xiao Yao's cooperation with American stars or companies has considerable initiative and reflects considerable creative talent. In terms of music, he wrote songs for others to sing, and also provided the shooting idea for the MV for the daydreaming song "Sugar". Eva swimsuit special and Eva show, his performances are basically designed and provided by himself. In terms of films, he is not looking to play roles in Hollywood films, but makes his own films for Hollywood studios to distribute in North America.
Such talents who can take care of both the front and back of the stage and are quite outstanding are not comparable to simple stars in front of the stage. Whether in China or Hollywood, such people are fragrant buns and are extremely valued. In the eyes of many people in the American entertainment industry, including Amy Hatton, this means that Xiao Yao seems to be just playing casually, and it seems that he is not trying to develop in Hollywood, if he really wants to develop in Hollywood, even if he is Chinese, he is very likely to achieve great success in the United States.
Amy Hatton, as Nicky Thompson's agent, of course didn't want Nicky Thompson to have a bad relationship with someone like Xiao Yao, so before Nicky Thompson could answer, she preemptively took the lead.
Nicky Thompson knew that Amy Hatton would have this attitude, but she didn't follow Amy Hatton's words, and just looked at Xiao Yao quietly.
"Miss Thompson," Xiao Yao said, looking at Nicky Thompson, "what do you mean?"
"Mr. Xiao, I am her agent. Amy Hatton said.
"I know," Xiao Yao nodded, "but when she did these things, she didn't do it through you or the agency she worked for. As far as I know, Matt Dino is the owner of an advertising agency, and his father is a rich man, so you or your company should not be able to control his behavior, right? Matt Dino did this to help Miss Thompson, so Miss Thompson's own attitude is decisive. ”
"Can you answer me a question first?" said Nicky Thompson to Xiao Yao.
"What?" Xiao Yao said.
"You've been at LV for so long, have you been to the casino every day, have you been in the casino for a long time?" asked Nicky Thompson.
"Didn't you find someone to follow me and secretly photograph me?" Xiao Yao said, "You should know my whereabouts very well." ”
"The private investigator we hired ended the commission a few days ago, and we didn't hire anyone else. Nicky Thompson said, "Okay, so I'll change the question, are you still going to spend a lot of time in the casino every day?"
Nicky Thompson knew that in the early hours of the morning after Tiger was looking for trouble with Xiao Yao, Tim Haggis would come. It's been a few days since Tiger got into trouble with Xiao Yao today, and Tim Haggis is an FBI agent, and Nicky Thompson thinks that if Tim Haggis wants to find Tiger, it won't take so many days, so why did Xiao Yao come to the door today? Nicky Thompson thinks it's because of the news that he has entered and exited the casino.
Of course, this news has been out for several days, but Nicky Thompson and Matt Dino both know that the reaction of this news on the Huaxia side can affect Xiao Yao, so Matt Dino has been sending people to pay attention to the public opinion situation in Huaxia and will report it to Nicky Thompson. Therefore, Nicky Thompson knew that this news had formed a storm of public opinion in China, and it was in these two days that it had a great impact.
She felt that Xiao Yao had received the news from the Huaxia domestic team and knew about the news and the public opinion in Huaxia, so she asked Tim Haggis to help check the news source. As for Tiger, it may be that Xiao Yao felt that someone was pushing behind him because of the news, and then remembered Tiger's matter, and asked Tim Haggis to check it by the way.
After the private investigator learned of Tim Haggis's identity as an FBI agent, Matt Dino and Nicky Thompson knew that Xiao Yao would be able to find out if he had checked through Tim Haggis.
However, according to Matt Dino, it is not illegal to break the news to the media, and it is a little too much trouble to hire Tiger to find Xiao Yao, but Tiger did not hurt Xiao Yao, but was cleaned up by Xiao Yao, so even if Xiao Yao knew and wanted to go through the legal process, their problems were not big. So knowing that Xiao Yao might find out about them, Matt Dino didn't bother to clean up the whole thing, and deliberately wanted Xiao Yao to know that they were behind the scenes.
But what Nicky Thompson and Matt Dino didn't expect was that Xiao Yao came to the door after learning that they were behind the scenes, and what Nikki Thompson didn't expect was that Xiao Yao was not angry, but behaved very sensibly and calmly, a bit like a negotiation to ask if his revenge was over.
If Xiao Yao is very tough and wants to fight to the end, just take direct action. If he is arrogant and wants to declare war in person, he shouldn't say the kind of thing that you will end up with. But if Xiao Yao admits instigation, then it should be an apology and admit his mistake, but although Xiao Yao said that the cause of the incident was his inappropriate behavior outside the Las Vegas airport, there was no apology in his tone and attitude.
So Xiao Yao came here to let her and Matt Dino eliminate the influence of news reports that were not good for him? But what had an impact on him was public opinion in China. Not to mention that this kind of news is easy to send and receive, even if Matt Dino wants to eliminate the influence of those news, his influence in China is far less than that of Xiao Yao, a local star in China, and his own ability in China is much stronger than that of Matt Dino.
This kind of negative news basically requires the parties or their teams to come forward or speak out to clarify or explain, or even simpler, as long as he returns to China immediately, then he lingers in the casinos in the United States, and the public opinion of indulging in gambling will naturally slowly subside. As a star, it should be impossible for Xiao Yao not to know this. But Xiao Yao is here now and asks if her revenge is over?
Nicky Thompson thought about it and thought of only one possibility, that is, Xiao Yao did not want to return to China yet, and wanted to continue to stay in the United States and stay in Las Vegas. He came to himself to find out if he would do anything against him in the future, and he was worried that his actions would affect what he was going to do. But what is he going to do? Through the investigation of private investigators during that time, Nicky Thompson discovered that Xiao Yao would do only one thing every day in Las Vegas, and that was to go to the casino.
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded in acknowledgement.
"What are you doing at the casino?" continued Nicky Thompson.
"In the casino, of course, it's gambling money!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"I remember you telling me at the Boston airport café that you are not a gambler and will not indulge in gambling. Nicky Thompson said.
"I'm not a gambler, and I'm not addicted to gambling!" Xiao Yao said.
"Then why do you go to the casino every day and stay in the casino for so long?" said Nicky Thompson, "and stop lying to me!"
"Strictly speaking, I didn't lie to you, I just selectively concealed some things, and it was you who had a misunderstanding. Xiao Yao smiled, "Okay, I don't lie to you, I still choose to hide it, I won't tell you now, but you will know after a while." ”
"After a while, waiting to see the news?" Nicky Thompson pouted.
"I can promise you to let you know better than most people why I've been in the casino for so long, but there is one condition," Xiao Yao said, "that you agree to do one thing for me." ”
"What?" asked Nicky Thompson.
"Since Matt Dino was able to find the media to break the news that I was in and out of the casino, it means that he has a pretty good relationship with some American media. Xiao Yao smiled, "What I need you to do is that you know why I stayed in the casino for a long time, and asked Matt Dino to find the American media to report this reason as news." ”
"Let Matt find the media to break the news about you?" Nicky Thompson said in surprise, "again?"
"Yes!" Xiao Yao nodded, "I guarantee that this reason is very newsworthy, and media reporters will definitely be interested, but what happens in the casino, reporters generally don't know, and I don't want to go to the media to break the news, so I want Mr. Dino to come forward." Strictly speaking, I need Mr. Dino to do something for me, but I don't know him and I don't want to know him. He asked the media to cover my news this time because of you, and if you make a similar request, I think he will agree to you. ”
"Good!" Nicky Thompson nodded, "I'll just wait for you to tell me why you went to the casino!"
"In this case, you shouldn't do anything to retaliate against me, right?" Xiao Yao said, "If I get into trouble and don't go to the casino, you won't be able to know why I went to the casino." ”
"Actually, I didn't plan to do anything else. Nicky Thompson smirked, "After those two things, I'm already done." ”
"Okay, then we'll settle it. Xiao Yao stood up and said, "The purpose of my visit today has been achieved, so I won't bother you, goodbye!"
Xiao Yao stood up, and Tim Haggis, who barely spoke, also stood up.
"Goodbye!" Nicky Thompson politely stood up. However, she didn't move, and she didn't seem to have the intention of sending off guests.
"Mr. Shaw, Mr. Haggis, please!" Amy Hatton stood up to see off the guest.
"Nicky, I thought you knew such a talented star as Young, and the two of you would definitely have a musical or other business collaboration. Amy Hatton came back after sending Xiao Yao and Tim Haggis away, and looked at Nicky Thompson helplessly, "But what did I hear? Lies, pranks, hired private investigators to follow, hired people to commit murders, bad news to the media, casinos, the story after you got to know each other is actually like this!"
"Collaboration?" said Nicky Thompson, "do you think I didn't think about it? I once asked him to be my guitarist and perform with me on stage at the Billboard Awards. But he refused, because he quit the band Immortals, and he didn't want the people in the band to think that he quit the band to work with more popular people, and he didn't want the people in the band to feel abandoned and disgusted!"
Although Nicky Thompson used the video as a blackmail request at the time, Xiao Yao's refusal was not because he was blackmailed, but because he didn't want the band's people to have ideas, and even ended the performance of pretending to be blackmailed.
Nicky Thompson has just said this when he told Amy Hatton about what happened between her and Xiao Yao, and Amy Hatton knows about it.
"He refused to be your guitarist, maybe just because of the Billboard stage, and he didn't want to work with other American stars on stage," says Amy Hatton, "but behind the scenes, he worked with other people even before he quit the band." Why don't we give it a try?"
"Behind the scenes?" said Nicky Thompson.
"Don't forget, in addition to being an excellent guitarist and singer, he is also a very talented songwriter. "His 'Sugar' for Daydreaming, a couple of songs for Immortals, and a few of his own songs like 'perfect' all did really well on the Billboard." In addition, he also wrote a song "NeverGrowUp" for a young female singer named Liv Parremer, and the results were quite good. This shows both his creative talent and that he doesn't mind writing songs for American female singers. ”
"Now that your conflict has been resolved," Amy Hatton said as she looked at Nicky Thompson, "what do you think I asked him to write a song for you?"
"Hah!" Nicky Thompson laughed, "I can write songs myself, why should he write songs for me? Also, his talent is not only in music, if you have to work with us, why don't you ask him to be a photographer to take pictures of me, ask him to be a director to shoot a music video for me, let me sing the theme song for his movie, or even let me make a cameo role in a movie directed by him?"
"That's a great idea!" laughed Amy Hatton, "and what you're talking about are all possible ways to work together, especially the last one, maybe it can help you develop your career as an actor, or should I try them all?"
