January 1998

The East Guangdong Provincial Stadium, which originally dates back to the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, was the training ground of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so it was called the East Stadium. The 1998 annual meeting of the Lin Group was held in the East Competition.

At this time, the stage has been set up in the East Arena, and the actors, in addition to the stars of Xiangjiang, have been in place since yesterday, and the stadium is used for rehearsals throughout the day to prepare for the annual meeting in the evening.

Colorful flags flutter outside the venue, colorful balloons for celebration are flying all over the sky, potted plants and wreaths are placed on both sides of the avenue as if to welcome guests, and everywhere is full of festive and lively atmosphere.

Starting from 10 o'clock in the morning, the group's 100 King Long buses were unprecedentedly busy, carrying employees of the Lin Group from all over the world to participate in the event.

Compared with the seven high-speed trains that Ma Yun contracted to pick up and drop off employees, Lin Cheng's trench inhumanity was also not far behind, and he directly purchased 100 King Long buses from Xiamen Jinlong Company to pick up and drop off employees.

Of course, these 100 King Long buses are not only used once, and in the future, these buses will be distributed to Lin's various factories as factory vehicles.

……

"This is too exaggerated, isn't it just a few Xiangjiang stars?"

At Huacheng Baiyun Airport, Cui Ruyun, who came to pick up the airport on behalf of the Lin Group, looked at the crowded scene at the airport and said in a low voice.

I don't know who leaked the news, after the news that a large group of heavenly kings and queens in Xiangjiang will come to Huacheng to perform on Chinese New Year's Eve spread, a large number of fans of Huacheng Tianwang and queens braved the cold and rushed to Baiyun Airport early in the morning to pick up the plane.

Due to the fact that they are also Cantonese-speaking regions, the influence of the kings and queens of Hong Kong is unparalleled in the city of flowers, and even Hollywood superstars are slightly inferior.

The lineup of Xiangjiang stars who were invited to perform at the annual meeting of the Lin Group was extremely gorgeous, Andy Lau, Zheng Xiuwen, and Chen Huilin, who had cooperated with Lin Cheng, came to Xie Lemon and Rong Zu, the leading Xiaosheng Hua Dan of Flying Eagle Entertainment, and Chen Yixun, who had just been signed by Flying Eagle Entertainment, also came.

In addition, Zhang Guirong and Mei Yanfang, who have just accepted Lin Cheng's invitation and will serve as charity ambassadors of the Lin Group Charity Foundation, are here.

Lin Cheng originally only invited Zhang Guirong to be the charity ambassador, but Zhang Guirong was very sympathetic to Mei Yanfang, who was blocked by the Huacheng government, saying that Sister Mei was also keen on charity, and asked Lin Cheng to communicate with the government to lift the ban order, if Lin Cheng could agree, he and Mei Yanfang were willing to serve as the charity ambassadors of the Lin Group for free.

Regarding Mei Yanfang's ban, later netizens have always thought that it was for political reasons, Mei Yanfang was suspected of making anti-China remarks in the 80s, but the mainland's official ban on Mei Yanfang had another reason.

The reason why Mei Yanfang was banned is very simple, in 1995, Mei Yanfang entered the mainland performance market and held a tour in the mainland for the first time.

But during the performance in Huacheng, because the fans in Huacheng reacted too enthusiastically and continued to be encore, Mei Yanfang temporarily sang a song, but because this song was a banned song, it was officially banned.

The song is called "Bad Girl", which is one of Mui Yanfang's post-80s masterpieces, why is "Bad Girl" a banned song, because its lyrics describe in detail the passion between men and women when they applaud.

Such a bold song is naturally impossible to sing in the mainland, where gender consciousness is relatively conservative, Mei Yanfang attracted the official ban of the mainland, and the ban lasted for seven years, and the ban was not lifted until 2002.

In this life, with Lin Cheng's current status, helping to lift the ban on Mei Yanfang is just a gesture, he casually mentioned it to the Huacheng government, and then lifted Mei Yanfang's ban order, and Zhang Guirong and Mei Yanfang became the charity ambassadors of the Lin Group.

Huacheng and Xiangjiang are very close, and it is not the first time for these Xiangjiang stars to come to Huacheng, but Mei Yanfang has been banned for more than two years and is a little unfamiliar with Huacheng.

"Brother, the development of the mainland is really rapid, I have only been absent from Huacheng for more than two years, and the urban appearance of Huacheng has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it seems that the reform and opening up of the mainland has really made great achievements. Sitting in the RV arranged by the Lin Group, Mei Yanfang looked at the high-rise buildings outside the window and said with emotion.

Zhang Guirong, who was sitting next to Mei Yanfang, nodded and smiled: "That's true, the development of the mainland is really changing with each passing day, I have agreed to Lin Cheng's invitation to serve as Lin's charity ambassador, and the focus of future work will also be shifted to the mainland, I don't know what Amei's plans are?"

"Me?" Mei Yanfang did not have a good view of the mainland when she was young, and the 95-year ban incident was an unpleasant memory, she thought for a while: "I will still develop in Xiangjiang, but now that the music industry belongs to young people, I may focus on concerts." ”

"That's fine. Zhang Guirong nodded and said: "Now that the music industry is getting more and more sluggish, the record has begun to sell anymore, but we can make more money by holding concerts with our old books, which is a wise move for you." ”

"Yes, there is a lot of piracy in the record market now, and there are too few people who are willing to buy genuine records, but more and more people are willing to move to the stadium to watch sho.

For example, in 95, I held a concert in Huacheng, although I was banned because of this concert, but I have to admit that the fans in the mainland are very enthusiastic, and they are even crazier than the fans in Xiangjiang. Mei Yanfang said.

……

In the evening of the same day, the audience seats of the East Stadium were already crowded, and 28,000 employees dressed in the uniform of each company stood up one after another, looking at the luxurious stage in the center of the stadium and were speechless.

"It's so gorgeous, our Lin Group is really amazing, and the stage of the annual meeting is even more atmospheric than the CCTV Spring Festival Gala!"

"Is this still the annual meeting of the company? How do I feel that I have come to the big concert of the superstar!"

"You're right, I saw the promotional posters outside the stadium, and Liu Tianwang also came to our company's annual meeting. ”

"Yes, there are also Zhang Guirong, Mei Yanfang, Zheng Xiuwen, and Chen Huilin, the four heavenly kings and queens. ”

"Oh, when will it start after the year, I can't wait!"

"It's seven o'clock in the evening, and there's still an hour. ”

"Look! Liu Tianwang came out for rehearsal!"

As Andy Lau took the stage to rehearse, the 28,000 audience suddenly boiled, especially Andy Lau's fans, and the neat sound almost overturned the East Arena.

"Andy!"

"Andy!"

"Andy!"

More than 10,000 people at the scene frantically shouted Andy Lau's nickname, and then the audience imitated the Mexican waves, and people from one district after another stood and sat down, like waves, wave after wave.

Subsequently, every rehearsal of the Xiangjiang stars set off a huge wave of noise, on the other hand, the mainland singers Liu and Na Ying appeared, and the scene was relatively deserted.

This also reflects the popularity of celebrities in that era, compared to mainland stars,
