Chapter 1360: The Superstar Arrives in Beijing
That evening, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, who had been flying for nearly 20 hours, arrived at Yanjing Airport.
Li Mu took Chen Wan to the airport to greet him personally, for this performance, Li Mu deliberately asked Li Ziwei to book more than 40 rooms in a five-star hotel near CCTV, not only Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, all the singers who came from afar to participate in this performance, as well as their entourage, can stay here for free, and Muye Technology temporarily dispatched two teams, a total of more than ten luxury cars and business vehicles, specially used to travel between the hotel and the airport, and pick up these singers and accompanying workers.
It was the first time that Li Mu attached so much importance to a performance, and he contributed face, money, people, and effort throughout the whole process, but he was completely involved in it and enjoyed it.
Because of the news that the two were about to arrive in Beijing, a large number of media reporters went to the airport to pick them up, and the two have been away from the entertainment industry for so long, and the media's attention to them has increased unabated.
At the exit of the international terminal, dozens of security guards and staff were dispatched to maintain order, and when the airport flight board showed that the flight of the two people landed safely, the media reporters on the scene were all in good spirits, waiting to capture tomorrow's entertainment headlines.
At this time, a group of people suddenly walked in at the entrance of the hall, and the entertainment reporters who had not squatted in a good position in the back were suddenly startled by the crowd that came in, which immediately caused a commotion.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the crowd that entered from the outside, and found that Li Mu was walking in the middle of the crowd, and when most people at the airport were wearing masks, Li Mu didn't wear them.
"Li Mu is here!" I don't know who shouted, and the flashing lights on the scene immediately crackled wildly.
So many reporters present came to squat Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, but they didn't expect Li Mu to come to pick up the plane in person.
Li Mu rarely picks up the airport publicly, the last time he picked up the airport was in Spring City to greet the American old Flying Tigers, and that time Li Mu picked up the plane as a matter of course, after all, the entire veteran immortal charity project is promoted by Li Mu, and his attention to this project is also known to the world, but this time, Li Mu made a special trip to the airport to pick up the two stars, which really surprised all media reporters.
In the eyes of reporters, Li Mu's status is much higher than that of the entire entertainment industry, so he came to the airport to pick up Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, just like Li Jiacheng went to the airport to pick up Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang.
The public relations department of Makino Technology has also been persuading Li Mu not to pick up the airport in person, they are most worried about safety, after all, the airport is a public place, and the first imported case in Yanjing came from the airport, and they also think that with Li Mu's identity, even if there is no epidemic, it is not suitable to pick up the two stars at the airport in person, which has an impact on his consistent image of an elite entrepreneur, but Li Mu still insisted on coming, for no other reason, that is, the gratitude in his heart.
Most celebrities' sense of social responsibility does not match his identity and influence, and while being a public figure, he is still calculating the pros and cons and personal likes and dislikes.
Take this performance as an example, many people are willing to come because of CCTV's face and value CCTV's resources, and later those who are unwilling to come are also because they feel that those face and resources are still insufficient compared to their personal safety.
However, for Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, the two of them have long been top stars in the entertainment industry, and they have both faded out of the entertainment industry, in this case, they can still agree to their requests, and spare no effort to help, and at the same time they can rush back to China from the United States without hesitation, which is enough to prove that in their hearts, they have always had a strong sense of social responsibility and can be called a model in the entertainment industry.
Since this is the case, then they should naturally give enough respect, they have traveled thousands of miles to fight the fire, and what is it to pick up the airport by themselves?
As for the issue of masks, to tell the truth, it is indeed necessary to wear a mask when going in and out of public places, but the reason why Li Mu chose not to wear it is also because he feels that this can minimize some of the outside world's safety concerns about Yanjing.
If you don't wear a mask, the news picture will not give people a sense of depression surrounded by the epidemic, so when the outside world, especially the Western media, is exaggerating the danger of the epidemic in Yanjing, you don't wear a mask to pick up the airport to pick up, everything is like the epidemic has not happened, it will inevitably play a good role in counterattack.
In fact, experts have also confirmed that although SARS is a very serious infectious disease, but the degree of infection is not high, unless it is with the patient in a confined space for a long time, there is the possibility of infection, although the airport is a public place, but the area is large enough, the air circulation is good, and the disinfection work is very timely, a short time in this environment leakage, the possibility of being infected is not high.
When the reporters in the airport were filming at Li Mu non-stop, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang walked out of the exit side by side, talking and laughing, which made all the reporters, even Li Mu, feel incredible that these two people, like Li Mu, did not wear masks!
Although they have crossed half the world all the way, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang's mental state is exceptionally good, much better than when Li Mu last saw them, Zhang Guorong's depression has been greatly alleviated during this time, and Mei Yanfang's cancer has also been treated in a very timely and effective manner, and after these things, the two are more optimistic than before, and they know how to cherish life more, plus after such a long time of adjustment, the state is naturally much better than before.
Mei Yanfang was the first to see Li Mu, and as soon as she saw him, her expression immediately became excited, she waved her hands at him with a smile, and then signaled to Zhang Guorong beside her, pointing at Li Mu so that he could see it too.
Zhang Guorong saw Li Mu in the direction of Mei Yanfang's finger, and immediately smiled and nodded, Li Mu also smiled at the two of them, and after the two arrived, Li Mu took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Mei Yanfang first, and said, "Aunt Mei, welcome to Yanjing!"
Mei Yanfang said with a smile: "Mr. Li is usually so busy, and he personally came to pick us up at the airport, I am really flattered!"
Li Mu said with a serious face: "No matter how busy you are, you are also working, and you came to pick up the airport because of friends, you and your brother came to Yanjing thousands of miles away, as a friend, it is natural for me to come to the airport to pick up the airport." ”
Zhang Guorong joked: "You are the idol of young people all over the world, and you should focus your precious time and energy on changing the world." ”
Li Mu said: "Brother, don't make fun of me, I'm still your fan, as a fan, it's understandable to come to the airport to pick me up!"
Zhang Guorong smiled: "Coincidentally, I am also your fan, I rarely worship others in my life, and you are one of them." ”
Li Mu smiled, pointed to a few reporters who were following him, and said to the two: "Brother, Aunt Mei, these are reporters from YY.com and CCTV, we and CCTV jointly follow up and report on the two of you on this trip to Yanjing, they have a few simple questions I want to interview you, I don't know if it's convenient for you?"
The two nodded at the same time and said, "No problem." ”
Li Mu invited them to come to Yanjing, not only to save the performance, but also to release a message to the society, whether it is Yanjing or Huaxia, it is not as dangerous as the Western media portrays, so the interview at the airport is an opportunity to explain this point of view through the mouths of Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang.
After getting the consent of the two, the CCTV reporter immediately got to the point and asked the two: "Mr. Zhang Guorong and Miss Mei Yanfang, on behalf of the 20 million people in Yanjing, I want to ask you a question first, how do you feel about coming to Yanjing this time?"
Zhang Guorong smiled slightly and said to Mei Yanfang: "You answer first, ladies first." ”
Mei Yanfang nodded, looked into the reporter's microphone, and said, "I have always liked Yanjing, so I am very happy every time I come to Yanjing." ”
The microphone was handed to Zhang Guorong, and he said with a smile: "I love Yanjing too much, when I first filmed "Farewell My Concubine", I have always been obsessed with Yanjing, and now it is no exception, so this time I came back, my heart is very excited, in addition to participating in charity redemption, I also want to take this opportunity to visit good friends in Yanjing, and then take a good look around Yanjing." ”
The reporter asked: "Now the Western media are promoting the SARS epidemic in Yanjing, they say that the current epidemic in Yanjing is very serious, and I advise the people not to go to Yanjing in the near future, or even to China, and you two came to Yanjing from the United States at this time, I don't know what you two think about this problem?"
Mei Yanfang replied first: "I think SARS should not be a matter of a certain country or a city, it should be a problem that the whole world has to face, not only Yanjing has SARS, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and even the United States, if SARS occurs in a city, then what we should do is to help it solve the problem, instead of having ulterior motives at this time to exaggerate which cities or countries are particularly dangerous, which is actually a very irresponsible thing." ”
Zhang Guorong replied: "I agree with Anita's opinion, the two of us also think that when other countries are facing the epidemic, the media in other countries should not gloat or exaggerate, there is no right to speak without investigation, I think whether Yanjing is safe or not, those who have not been to Yanjing, have not been in contact with Yanjing, will not know, and their arguments are naturally not convincing." ”
