As the saying goes, saving a scene is like putting out a fire. If such a meaningful thing fails to succeed in the end, it will indeed be a big regret.
There is nothing wrong with singers who refuse to come to Beijing because they are worried about their safety. The problem now is not to condemn these people, but to find ways to find more suitable people to fill their seats.
So, Li Mu asked Chen Wan: "Who are the ten Hong Kong and Taiwan singers originally invited?"
Chen Wan named a lot of people, most of whom were relatively well-known singers. There was even Liu Tianwang, as well as Taiwanese sister and sister. One was one of the four kings of Hong Kong, and the other was a powerful female singer in Taiwan. One of the top singers in the world, this is also the signature character of the singers from Hong Kong and Taiwan in this performance.
Li Mu asked again: "Who are the people who decided not to participate at the last minute?"
Chen Wan said: "I need to call and ask about this. The director didn't say anything clearly."
Later, Chen Wan called to confirm, and the feedback came back 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?"
"No." Chen Wan said, "He is not on the list, but I don't know if he was invited."
Li Mu nodded lightly. There were many well-known musicians in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It didn't matter if five people quit, but the key was that the five people who took the place had to have enough weight to have appeal. So what Li Mu thought of was to find a way to give This party included several influential Hong Kong and Taiwan singers. Among the Taiwanese singers, the first thing he thought of was Luo Dayou, as well as powerful singers such as Su Rui and Cai Qin.
However, Li Mu had no personal relationship with these singers. At this time, he found someone else to come to Yanjing to save the situation. He was also worried that he did not have enough face, so after much deliberation, he felt that he should first find an influential senior in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles, and then let him Help him to lobby other people. Although it is a bit difficult for them to come to Yanjing under pressure at this time, Li Mu can promise generous resources in return. Li Mu believes that the resources in his hands are much more than the director of this party. Even with his powerful resources, he will definitely be able to convince some people to come to the rescue.
As for how to choose this senior person who was the go-between, Li Mu had almost no hesitation. He only thought of two people, and they were two people with whom he had a deep friendship - Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang.
Needless to say, the influence of these two people in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles is higher than that of 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 their lives.
At the earliest, Li Mu helped Zhang Guorong angrily retaliate against Zu Yaoting who tried to ridicule him in public at the dinner of the Seedling Protection Fund. He immediately helped Zhang Guorong reverse the gossip public opinion in Hong Kong at that time and greatly preserved Zhang Guorong's reputation;
Later, because he knew that Zhang Guorong suffered from depression, Li Mu specially invited him to become the student ambassador of the 3321 Student Aid Fund, allowing him to temporarily leave the entertainment industry and perform many significant charitable actions. It alleviated his depression and freed him from the many pains caused by depression;
Later, Li Mu also rescued Mei Yanfang. Out of concern for her friends, Mei Yanfang accepted Li Mu's invitation and became a student aid ambassador together with Zhang Guorong. After Mei Yanfang ended her study aid trip, Li Mu insisted on giving her Arranged a detailed physical examination. He said he was worried that she would contract the disease in a poor area, but in fact he wanted to see if her cancer could be detected in advance. Unexpectedly, it was true. The time of discovery was in the early and middle stages, which is the survival rate. the highest time;
Later, Mei Yanfang, accompanied by Zhang Guorong, went to the United States for treatment. The two simply lived in the United States, temporarily staying away from the right and wrong of the entertainment industry. Mei Yanfang's body also recovered greatly. According to the doctor's predictions, It is estimated that recurrence within a few years is unlikely. Such cases are very common in the United States, and most can survive safely for more than ten years;
With this level of friendship, Li Mu felt that it would be no problem to ask them for help in this matter. With their influence and his own resource commitment, he was able to gather five important Hong Kong and Taiwan singers in a short period of time. Not difficult.
So, Li Mu looked at the time and calculated that it was now 5:30 in the morning in New York, so he said to Chen Wan: "Wait another three hours. When I go home for dinner, I will call my brother and ask him for help."
"Brother? Which brother?"
Chen Wan looked surprised.
Li Mu smiled and said: "Brother, Zhang Guorong!"
Chen Wan suddenly realized it and blurted out: "Didn't my brother quit the entertainment industry? There is news that he is living in the United States."
Li Mu nodded: "I have quit the entertainment industry, but at least I am a senior who has guided so many future generations, so my influence is still there. If my brother is willing to help, this matter can probably be saved. Besides my brother, there is also Aunt Mei." .”
Chen Wan then remembered the relationship between Li Mu and the two of them, and said in surprise: "If brother and Aunt Mei can really help, this matter will definitely be solved smoothly!"
…
Three hours later, Li Mu stood in the courtyard of Ziyun Villa and made a call to Zhang Guorong in the United States.
Li Mu turned on the speaker of his phone because Chen Wan was standing next to him.
At this time, Zhang Guorong had been up for a long time, and had just returned from a morning run with Aunt Mei.
He and Aunt Mei lived together in a wealthy area on the outskirts of New York City. They lived in the same villa. Zhang Guorong bought the villa specifically to take care of Mei Yanfang for medical treatment in the United States. The two were close friends of life and death, and their relationship was irreversible. , having lived together for so long, the friendship between them has only grown.
Zhang Guorong was also very surprised when he suddenly received a call from Li Mu. He did not answer the phone in a hurry, but said to Aunt Mei who was about to go upstairs: "Anita, Li Mu's phone number!"
"Oh?" Mei Yanfang was immediately pleasantly surprised. She originally wanted to go up to take a shower, but she immediately turned around and went down the stairs and said, "My benefactor called? Hurry up, hurry up!"
Whenever the doctor told Mei Yanfang that her cancer was discovered very timely, Mei Yanfang felt particularly grateful to Li Mu, so she told Zhang Guorong privately that Li Mu was her benefactor. The indifferent attitude towards this kind of thing may be beyond repair by the time it is actually discovered.
Zhang Guorong answered the phone at this time and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, why are you calling me so free?"
Li Mu smiled and said, "Brother, please stop teasing me. I'm too busy during this period and haven't bothered to contact you and Aunt Mei. I hope you two won't be angry with me."
"How could it be?" Zhang Guorong said with a smile: "Anita and I have been paying close attention to your current situation. You are so powerful now. People on Wall Street are discussing you and your company all day long. Many people also say that you will be great soon." Anita and I are very happy for you to become the richest man in the world, and seeing that you are running so many things at the same time, I know you must be very busy."
Li Mu said, "Thank you for your understanding, brother. How are you and Aunt Mei doing lately?"
"We are doing well." Zhang Guorong said with a smile: "Anita's body has recovered and the doctor has finished her treatment. From now on, she only needs to ensure the frequency of physical examinations required by the doctor. It is rare for us to completely relax recently. Every day. Exercise and enjoy life.”
As he spoke, Zhang Guorong asked with concern: "I heard that SARS is very serious in China now. You should still be in Yanjing, right? Is the situation in Yanjing as serious as the media here says?"
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 discredit China. Naturally, they are not willing to let this opportunity pass this time."
Zhang Guorong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay if it's not that serious. Anita and I have always wanted to ask you how you are doing recently, but we were worried that it would disturb you."
At this time, Mei Yanfang, who was beside her, also said, "Yes, Xiao Mu, Leslie is right. We have been paying attention to your situation and are also very worried about your current situation."
Li Mu smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Mei for your concern."
After saying that, Li Mu said again: "Brother, Aunt Mei, I'm calling you this time because I want to ask you for help..."
The two said in unison: "If you have anything to do, just ask."
Li Mu then told the two of them in detail about the situation of the anti-SARS charity gala that Yang Ma was preparing, including the positive meaning behind it. After listening to Li Mu's appeal, the two of them started talking on the phone. There was silence for a moment, and Li Mu was a little worried on the other end of the phone, thinking that the two of them would be 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 a consensus. Isn't there still three days until the rehearsal? Let's pack our luggage right away and buy the earliest If you don’t mind, we will go to Yanjing to fill the seats for this performance!”
Li Mu was immediately pleasantly surprised!
Leslie Cheung and Mui Yanfang came from the United States to fill in for this performance! That was really beyond expectations!
Chen Wan's face was also filled with shock and disbelief. Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang were silent for only a few dozen seconds. Within a few dozen seconds, they made the decision to cross half the world to Yanjing. Rescue? ! This is incredible!
Before Li Mu could recover, Mei Yanfang spoke again: "Mr. Luo Dayou and Ms. Cai Qin from Taiwan have a very good relationship with me. I believe in their character, so I will contact them later." , if they can spare the time, I will try my best to invite them to participate!”
Li Mu was even more delighted!
At this time, Leslie Cheung added: "There are still many good friends in Hong Kong. Xueyou and Eason have good personal relationships with me. I will contact them later to see if they are willing to participate and try to convince them."
Oh My God!
Li Mu suddenly felt like he had become rich overnight!
So he hurriedly thanked you: "Brother, Aunt Mei, thank you very much. I won't say more if you want to be polite. I'm waiting for you at Yanjing Airport!"
Leslie Cheung said: "OK, let me close the call first and give Xuyou a call."
At this time, Mei Yanfang suddenly said: "By the way, Xiao Mu, if you want to highlight the unity of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, I suggest you change the song and stop singing "The Sunshine Always Comes After the Storm"."
Li Mu asked curiously: "What are you singing?"
Mei Yanfang said: "I remember that Taiwan's UFO Records released a song a few years ago called "Love Each Other, Family", and I think the lyrics of this song are perfect for this party!" If you are willing to sing this song, Leslie and I can help you sing it! Then we will call on some celebrities from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places, and everyone can sing on stage together in the second half of the song. In this way, the effect will be great It’s going to be great!”
"a lovely 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 of how great you are for always being tolerant when I’m angry... "
“I like it when a family’s dreams are created in the same direction.
When others are happy, it feels like you are happy..."
"Because we are a family, a family that loves each other. We should share blessings and suffer hardships together. We should know each other and stay together in exchange for eternity..."
Mei Yanfang is so right, this song is definitely the most suitable song for this party! Moreover, if singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places really sang this song together, the meaning would be so positive!
