It is said that on the second day after the performance, the two originally planned to return, but because Yang Ma was going to hold a celebration banquet, they deliberately implored the two to participate, so after discussing with the stage, the two changed their tickets and stayed for an extra day.

Li Mu was originally invited to the celebration banquet, but Li Mu refused.

On the one hand, he felt that he was not suitable to appear at the celebration banquet of the TV station, and on the other hand, he did not want to continue to ferment the fact that he had contributed a lot to this party.

If you participate in the celebration banquet, I am afraid that everyone will thank you at the banquet, and the reason why I helped is not to sell fame and reputation, but I feel that the core point of the cross-strait and three places to fight SARS is of great significance, and I can't bear to let it go down the drain.

So during the celebration banquet inside Yang Ma, Li Mu invited Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang to his home for a home-cooked meal.

In Li Mu's opinion, the two of them came to Yanjing to save the scene, which is a great favor, and it is not as sincere as eating at home to invite them to eat anywhere.

The only thing that makes Li Mu feel guilty is that every time he invites a friend to eat at home, he has to work hard for his parents to arrange a meal, originally he wanted to recruit one or two aunts for them to help, but neither of them agreed, in Li's mother's words, it is difficult to get used to the kind of wealthy life with servants at home, and Li Mu did not insist.

Fortunately, Li's mother still has a goddaughter......

When Li Mu's family entertained Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, Li Ziwei became Li's mother's helper and helped Zhang Luo with meals at home.

Li Mu specially arranged for the driver to go to the hotel to pick up Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang at home, the two arrived a little earlier, Li Mu and his father together, chatted with the two at home, and entertained the two to drink tea.

Dad Li doesn't chase stars much, but he has also watched a lot of Hong Kong movies, his favorite movie actor is Zhou Runfa, but he also has a good impression of Zhang Guorong, and the same is true for Mei Yanfang, especially after knowing that the two played a huge role in this performance, Dad Li also admires the two very much, so he talked with the two very happily.

When chatting, Li Mu received a strange phone call, and only after answering it did he know that the caller turned out to be a heavyweight leader of Yang Ma, and the leader called, first expressed his gratitude to Li Mu, and at the same time regretted that Li Mu was not able to participate in tonight's celebration banquet, he said that Li Mu was the biggest hero of this performance, but Li Mu told him very politely that the biggest hero was all the staff of Yang Ma, as well as all the singers present.

The other party said yes again and again, and then hesitated to say a request.

He said: "Mr. Li, you have a good relationship with Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, and they were able to travel thousands of miles from the United States to save the scene this time, presumably a big reason is also because of your favor, what about me, there is a reluctant request, I don't know if you can agree?"

Li Mu said: "Please speak, if you can do it, I will do my best." ”

The other party said: "The social influence of this performance is very good, and the most influential stars in this performance are the two of them, and the audience knows that they have come from the United States, and they are also particularly recognized, so we want to strike while the iron is hot and continue to make a supplement to the popularity of the performance, hoping to invite the two of them to participate in the interview with "Face to Face". ”

It is normal to strike while the iron is hot, most of the media are veterans who control the heat and rhythm, just like the Spring Festival Gala every year, if there is a program and a star in the Spring Festival Gala of that year that is particularly popular with the audience, then CCTV will also strike while the iron is hot and invite each other to participate in more other programs, which is also a kind of resource replacement, magician Liu Qian, sketch actor Xiao Shen Yang were all like this back then, in recent times, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang have been highly sought after by the audience, inviting them to do "Face to Face" This kind of talk show is a very good idea, and the only question is whether Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang agree.

So Li Mu said, "I will convey your invitation to them." ”

The other party couldn't help but ask, "How likely do you think it is that they will agree?"

Li Mu said: "I can't guarantee this, it is up to them to decide according to their own schedule."

Li Mu also doesn't know what Leslie Cheung and Mei Yanfang's next arrangements will be, they came to Yanjing to save the scene, and now that the performance has ended successfully, whether they will go to the United States, Hong Kong, or other places, they don't know, not to mention, they themselves have the intention of retiring, and they may not be willing to continue to show up.

hung up the phone and returned to the living room, Dad Li was asking Zhang Guorong about some anecdotes when he was filming "Across the Seas", and was talking about Zhong Chuhong, Dad Li sighed that in "Across the Seas", the part where Zhang Guorong and Zhong Chuhong danced made him remember deeply, Zhang Guorong said very seriously: "If you are her fan, I can introduce you to you next time." ”

Dad Li hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm not a fan of hers, and I can't let my daughter-in-law hear this, otherwise I'll be jealous." ”

Li Mu teased at this time and said: "My dad's real favorite actress is Zhao Yazhi, every time the legend of the new white lady was shown on TV in the past, he had to sigh that Zhao Yazhi was beautiful." ”

Zhang Guorong said in surprise: "Oh, that's great, I have a good personal relationship with Sister Yazhi, we have worked together for 80 years, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely introduce her to you." ”

Dad Li didn't expect Li Mu to shake out the actress he liked, and when he heard Zhang Guorong say that he had a good relationship with Zhao Yazhi, he was a little embarrassed all of a sudden.

Li Mu saw that his father was embarrassed to answer, so he changed the topic and said to Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang: "The leader of Yang Ma just called and wanted to invite you to participate in a talk show on CCTV, they want to take advantage of the popularity of the performance, and then create some influence and topics, I don't know how you will arrange it next, are you interested in participating?"

Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang glanced at each other, and then Mei Yanfang said: "We are really ready to find an opportunity to tell you about this, in the recent period, we want to do more to fight SARS, so in the future we will be divided into two parts, one is in Yanjing to listen to you and the mainland media dispatch, and the other part is to go back to Hong Kong to participate in Hong Kong's public welfare activities to fight SARS, so if there is anything that needs our cooperation, just ask." ”

Li Mu was overjoyed and said, "That's really good, I'll promise to come down for you first, and let them make arrangements according to your time." ”

"Good!"

……

Although Li Mu's family banquet is relatively simple, the meaning is very unusual, in addition to relatives and friends, there are not many people who have enjoyed such a family banquet in Li Mu's house, before Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang came, there were only two people in the entertainment industry who could have this treatment, one was Chen Wan, and the other was He Yi.

Chen Wan is Li Mu's woman, so she can be regarded as a writer, looking at it this way, the only one from the entertainment industry is He Yu, and he is still stained with Chen Wan's light.

In fact, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang were also very surprised by Li Mu's invitation, in their opinion, Li Mu is still too much higher than himself in all aspects, everyone is not at the same level in terms of financial resources, ability, and influence, and more importantly, both of them think that Li Mu is kind to themselves, but they didn't expect Li Mu to attach so much importance to themselves, and specially invited themselves to eat at home.

Li Mu felt that people respected me a foot, and I should respect people, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang did not hesitate to come to Yanjing to save the scene, which made Li Mu really regard the two as friends who could make friends, just like Song Liang and Chen Ze.

Li's father and Li Ma are also very hospitable, there is no shelf at all, and there is no place to show superiority, which makes Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang feel that they are very different from the wealthy families in Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong, the real wealthy family is looking down on the entertainment industry, Li Jiacheng will never set up a banquet at home to entertain celebrities like Li Mu's family, even if he will, he will never lower his stature to everyone's equal attitude, not even to say that Li Jiacheng is the richest man in Hong Kong, even if it is a Hong Kong wealthy family worth billions of Hong Kong dollars, he will not put any star in his eyes, how many goddesses in the entertainment industry want to marry into a wealthy family, it is difficult to climb to the sky, and there are even actresses who have given birth to a few children to a wealthy family but can't even get a name, so Hong Kong stars have long had a universal subconscious, thinking that stars in the entertainment industry have no weight and status in front of the wealthy。

However, in Li Mu's family, there is no such mode of thinking.

Maybe it's because of his character, maybe it's because he made a fortune halfway and has no wealthy accumulation, Li Mu and his parents don't have a real sense of wealth, and they don't feel that their social status is much higher than others, so it is difficult for Li's father and Li Ma to be like Hong Kong's rich people, and use habitual servants; so Li Mu will make friends with all kinds of people who are not as strong as herself; so even if Li Ma is a mother who is worth tens of billions of dollars, when she wants to recognize a girl from an ordinary background like Li Ziwei as her goddaughter, she still feels apprehensive and worried about being rejected.

It is precisely because of the humility and gentleness of Li Mu's family that Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang were not at ease throughout the whole process, and they liked this simple and gentle atmosphere more and more.

At the dinner table, everyone chatted and chatted very happily, and laughed constantly.

When talking about interesting things in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the doorbell rang, Li Ziwei hurriedly got up first to open the door, the door opened, and Li Ziwei found that it was Zhao Ziqiu standing outside the door.

Zhao Ziqiu was holding a huge glass plate at the moment, and the glass plate was also covered with a semicircular lid, and there was water vapor inside, but he could still see at a glance that there was a fish on the plate.

Zhao Ziqiu saw Li Ziwei and asked her a little nervously: "Ziwei, have Uncle Li and Aunt Li eaten?" My mother made West Lake vinegar fish and asked me to send it over for them to taste. ”

Li Ziwei knew the relationship between Zhao Ziqiu and Li Mu, nodded with a smile, and said in a low voice: "It didn't take long to eat at the beginning, my godfather and godmother were there, Mr. Li was also there, and there were two special guests. ”

"Huh?" Zhao Ziqiu said, "There are guests coming, then I won't go in, you can help me bring the fish in." ”

Li Ziwei gently pushed the door on her lower back, and laughed in a low voice: "At this time, it's better for you to bring it in yourself!"
