Chapter 1357: Saving the scene is like fighting a fire!
As the saying goes, saving a scene is like fighting a fire, and it is indeed a great pity if such a meaningful thing fails in the end.
There is nothing wrong with singers who refuse to come to Beijing because they are worried about their safety, and the problem at hand is not to condemn these people, but to find a way to find a more suitable person to fill the position.
So, Li Mu asked Chen Wan: "Who are the ten Hong Kong and Taiwan singers originally invited?"
Chen Wan said a lot of names, most of them are relatively well-known singers, and there are even Liu Tianwang, as well as Taiwan's Sister Fei and Ah Yuan, one is one of the four kings of Hong Kong, and the other is one of the top singers among Taiwan's powerful female singers, which is also the signature figure of the singers on both sides of Hong Kong and Taiwan in this performance.
Li Mu asked again: "Who are the people who have decided not to participate temporarily?"
Chen Wan said: "I'm going to call and ask about this, but the director didn't say it explicitly." β
Subsequently, Chen Wan called to confirm, and then the result was that Liu Tianwang could still come as planned, but Sister Yu had changed her plan and gave up the performance.
Li Mu nodded and said, "Didn't CCTV invite Luo Dayou?"
"Nope. Chen Wan said: "There is no him on the list, but whether he has been invited, I don't know this." β
Li Mu nodded lightly, there are a lot of well-known musicians in Hong Kong and Taiwan, and it doesn't matter if five people quit, but the key is that the five people who fill the position must be weighty enough to have appeal, so what Li Mu thought of was to find a way to add a few weighty Hong Kong and Taiwan singers to this party, among the Taiwanese singers, the first thing he thought of was Luo Dayou, as well as Su Rui and Cai Qin.
However, Li Mu has no personal relationship with these singers, at this time to find someone else to come to Yanjing to save the scene, he is also worried that he will not have enough face, so he thinks about it, he thinks that he should first find a senior who has weight in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circle, and then let the other party help him to lobby others, although it is a little difficult for them to come to Yanjing under pressure at this time, but Li Mu can promise rich resources in return, Li Mu believes that the resources in his hands are much more than the director of this party, and he will be able to persuade some people to come to the rescue with his own strong resourcesγ
As for how to choose this senior who threaded the needle, Li Mu almost didn't hesitate, he only thought of two people, and they were two people who had a deep friendship with him - Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang.
Needless to say, the influence of these two in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, both of them are higher than the four heavenly kings in terms of status, identity, and qualifications.
Moreover, these two people have a good personal relationship with Li Mu, and it can be said that Li Mu saved the lives of the two.
At the earliest time, Li Mu helped Zhang Guorong angrily scold Zu Yaoting who tried to ridicule him in public at the dinner of the Seedling Protection Fund, and suddenly helped Zhang Guorong reverse the gossip and public opinion in Hong Kong at that time, which greatly preserved Zhang Guorong's reputation;
Subsequently, because he knew that Zhang Guorong had depression, Li Mu specially invited him to become the student ambassador of the 3321 Scholarship Fund, allowing him to temporarily leave the rights and wrongs of the entertainment industry and do many charitable acts of great significance, which also greatly alleviated his depression and freed him from the many pains caused by depression;
Then, Li Mu also saved Mei Yanfang, Mei Yanfang accepted Li Mu's invitation out of concern for her friends, and became a student ambassador with Zhang Guorong, after Mei Yanfang ended her student trip, Li Mu insisted on arranging a detailed physical examination for her, saying that she was afraid that she would be infected in a poor area, but in fact she wanted to see if she could detect her cancer in advance, but she didn't expect it to be true, when she found it was in the middle and middle stages, which was the time when the survival rate was the highest;
Subsequently, Mei Yanfang went to the United States for treatment accompanied by Zhang Guorong, and the two simply lived in the United States later, temporarily away from the rights and wrongs of the entertainment industry, Mei Yanfang's body has also recovered greatly, according to the doctor's estimates, it is unlikely to relapse in a few years, such cases are very common in the United States, and most of them can survive safely for more than ten years;
With this layer of friendship, Li Mu feels that it should be no problem to ask them for help in this matter, with their influence and their own resource promises, it is not difficult to gather five weighty Hong Kong and Taiwan singers in a short period of time.
So, Li Mu looked at the time and calculated that it was half past five in the morning in New York, so he said to Chen Wan: "Wait another three hours, and I'll call my brother when I go home for dinner and ask him for help." β
"Brother, which brother?"
Chen Wan looked surprised.
Li Mu smiled: "Brother, Zhang Guorong!"
Chen Wan suddenly realized and blurted out: "Didn't my brother quit the entertainment industry? β
Li Mu nodded: "I have withdrawn from the entertainment industry, but at least I am also a senior, I have brought so many descendants, and the influence is still there, if my brother is willing to help, this matter can still be saved, and in addition to my brother, there is also Aunt Mei." β
Chen Wan then remembered the relationship between Li Mu and the two of them, and said in surprise: "If my brother and Aunt Mei can really help, this matter will definitely be solved smoothly!"
β¦β¦
Three hours later, Li Mu stood in the courtyard of the villa of Ziyun Villa and made a phone call to Zhang Guorong, who was in the United States.
Li Mu turned on the speaker of the phone, because Chen Wan was standing beside him.
At this time, Zhang Guorong had already gotten up for a long time, and had just run back with Mei Guchen.
He and Aunt Mei live together in a wealthy area on the outskirts of New York City, the two live in the same villa, the villa was bought by Zhang Guorong specifically to take care of Mei Yanfang in the United States for treatment, the two can be described as friends of life and death, the relationship is irreversible, they have lived together for so long, and the friendship between them has increased unabated.
Suddenly received a call from Li Mu, Zhang Guorong was also very surprised, he didn't answer the phone in a hurry, but said to Aunt Mei who was about to go upstairs: "Anita, Li Mu's phone!"
"Oh?" Mei Yanfang was suddenly pleasantly surprised, she originally wanted to go up to take a shower, she immediately turned around and went down the stairs, and said, "Engong is calling, pick it up, pick it up!"
Whenever the doctor told Mei Yanfang that her cancer was discovered in a timely manner, Mei Yanfang was very grateful to Li Mu in her heart, so she privately told Zhang Guorong that Li Mu was her father-in-law, if it weren't for Li Mu, with her indifferent attitude towards physical examinations, I am afraid that when she really finds out, she will be powerless.
Zhang Guorong answered the phone at this time and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, why are you so free to call me?"
Li Mu smiled: "Brother, don't tease me, I'm too busy to contact you and Aunt Mei, and I hope you two won't be angry with me." β
"How could it be. Zhang Guorong smiled: "Anita and I have been paying close attention to your recent situation, you are too powerful now, people on Wall Street are discussing you and your business all day long, many people also say that you will become the richest man in the world soon, Anita and I are very happy for you, and seeing that you are running so many things at the same time, I know that you must be very busy." β
Li Mu said: "Thank you brother for your understanding, how are you and Aunt Mei doing?"
"We're fine. Zhang Guorong smiled: "Anita's body has recovered, the doctor has finished her treatment, and in the future, she only needs to ensure the frequency of physical examinations required by the doctor. β
As he spoke, Zhang Guorong asked with concern: "I heard that SARS is very serious in China, you should still be in Yanjing, right? Is the situation in Yanjing as serious as the media here said?"
Li Mu said: "I am still in Yanjing, the epidemic in Yanjing is not as serious as the Western media said, they have been sparing no effort to smear Huaxia, and this time they are naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity." β
Zhang Guorong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good if it's not that serious, Anita and I have always wanted to ask you about your recent situation, but we are worried that it will disturb you to do things." β
At this time, Mei Yanfang, who was beside her, also spoke: "Yes, Xiaomu, Leslie is right, we have been paying attention to your situation and are also worried about your recent situation. β
Li Mu smiled: "Thank you Aunt Mei for your concern." β
Saying that, Li Mu said again: "Brother, Aunt Mei, I called you this time because I want to ask you for help......
The two said in unison: "If you have something, just open your mouth." β
Li Mu then told the two of them in detail about the situation encountered in the anti-SARS charity gala that Yang Ma was preparing, including the positive significance behind this incident, and the two of them were silent for a moment on the other end of the phone after listening to Li Mu's appeal, Li Mu was a little worried on the other end of the phone, thinking that the two would feel embarrassed because of this matter.
Unexpectedly, half a minute later, Zhang Guorong's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, he said: "Xiao Mu, Anita and I have reached an agreement, isn't there still three days before the rehearsal?
Li Mu was suddenly pleasantly surprised!
Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang came from the United States to fill in the show! That was really beyond expectations!
Chen Wan's face was also full of shock and disbelief, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang were silent for a total of dozens of seconds, and they made a decision to cross half the world to come to Yanjing to save the scene in a few tens of seconds!
Before Li Mu came back to his senses, Mei Yanfang spoke again: "Mr. Luo Dayou from Taiwan, Ms. Cai Qin and I have a very good relationship, I believe in their character, so I will contact them later, if they can spare time, I will try to invite them to participate!"
Li Mu was even more overjoyed!
At this time, Leslie Cheung said: "There are still a lot of good friends here in Hong Kong, Xueyou, Eason and I have a good personal relationship, I will contact them later to see if I am willing to participate, and try to convince them." β
Oh, my God!
Li Mu suddenly felt a feeling of getting rich overnight!
So he hurriedly thanked: "Brother, Aunt Mei, thank you very much, I won't say much if you're polite, I'm waiting for you at Yanjing Airport!"
Leslie Cheung said: "OK, then I'll close the line first and give Xueyou a call." β
At this time, Mei Yanfang suddenly said: "By the way, Xiaomu, if you want to highlight the unity of the two sides of the strait and the three places, I suggest that you change the song when the time comes, and don't sing "Sunshine is Always After the Wind and Rain". β
Li Mu asked curiously, "What are you singing?"
Mei Yanfang said: "I remember that a few years ago, Taiwan's UFO records released a song called "Blind Date and Love Family", and I think the lyrics of this song are very suitable for use in this party! If you are willing to sing this song, Leslie and I can go and sing it for you! When the time comes, we will call on some stars from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places together, and everyone can sing together in the second half of this song, and in that way, the effect will be very good!"
"Blind Date and Love Family"?
The lyrics of this song suddenly appeared in Li Mu's mind:
"I like to think of your warm embrace when I'm hurt,
I like to think about how great it is for you to always tolerate when I'm angry......"
"I like to dream of creating in the same direction as a family,
When others are happy, it is as if you are happy yourself......"
"Because we are a family, a family that loves each other, we should share blessings together, and we must share difficulties when there are difficulties, and we will exchange each other for a long time with knowing each other......"
Mei Yanfang is so right, this song is definitely the most suitable song for this party! Moreover, if the singers from the two sides of the strait and the three places are really allowed to sing this song together, the meaning is really too positive!
