Without investigation, there is no right to speak. It has become a daily routine for Western media to sit on the Western land and criticize China, and distort China. This time, SARS is no exception.
In a previous life, some local governments did have problems with concealing reports and covering up facts, which affected the country's overall epidemic prevention strategy. Western media would have seized on the topic and criticized it. However, in this life, the country has made timely efforts, and All information is fully transparent and the spread of the epidemic has been well controlled. However, the Western media has made the situation more serious and even said that China is concealing the epidemic. This is really a bit deceptive.
The Western media's unwarranted distortion of facts has made every Chinese compatriot feel dissatisfied, which of course includes Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang who came from afar.
After the two answered the questions, the reporter handed the microphone to Li Mu and asked him: "Mr. Li, you have been in Yanjing and have been active on the front line of the fight against SARS. What do you think about this issue? "
Li Mu said with a smile: "I think the biggest difference between us and the Western media is that we are more respectful in many cases. Over the years, we have seen a lot of news from the media about the outbreak of various epidemics overseas, including mad cow disease and avian influenza. , Ebola, etc., but our media has always only reported the actual progress of the epidemic, and has never judged or given arbitrary advice on other countries’ epidemic prevention work. I think this is how our Chinese media treats countries affected by the epidemic. Respect. Obviously, some media people in other countries do not understand this principle."
After that, Li Mu added: "In fact, many overseas media have reporters stationed in Yanjing. If you pay careful attention, you will find that Yanjing and even the whole country have made great efforts to fight the epidemic, and all the information All are open and transparent. Not only Makino Technology can obtain real-time information, but also all media present, including overseas media. I believe that with the information screening ability of media people, it is easy to see the true extent of this. In fact, If you are too lazy, you can also browse directly on the SARS special page of YY.com. This information has been confirmed by the YY.com editorial department. If there is any wrong information, Makino Technology is willing to take all responsibility for it."
Li Mu still has a certain influence internationally, especially among young people, so Li Mu also wants to take this opportunity to speak out and clarify his attitude and the actual situation of China's epidemic prevention work to overseas young people. Overseas media's comments on other countries' Spreading rumors is the cheapest thing to do. Even if you are wrong or even deliberately lying, it will not have any impact. However, Li Mu is willing to take all responsibility for all the information disclosed by Makino Technology. This attitude is not shared by those overseas media who spread rumors to cause trouble. .
The CCTV reporter who interviewed Li Mu was overjoyed. Faced with the rumors spread by Western media, CCTV, as a national media, is not suitable for direct protest or criticism. At this time, an unofficial but influential reporter is particularly needed. Li Mu is the most suitable candidate for individuals or private media to speak on their behalf. Therefore, for CCTV, if Li Mu can fight back and refute rumors for China, it will be great. Originally, I wanted to talk to Li Mu. I have been conducting an exclusive interview with him in the past two days. Unexpectedly, on this occasion today, Li Mu directly revealed the attitude that CCTV wanted most. When he returned to the station in the evening, he edited the material and put it on the news program tomorrow. aired.
…
After a brief interview with CCTV at the airport, Li Mu left together with Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang. The motorcade had been waiting outside for a long time.
In order to facilitate reporters from CCTV and YY.com to follow interviews and shoot materials, Li Mu deliberately arranged a Coaster, took all reporters and accompanying photographers with him, and followed and photographed the three of them along the way. However, Li Mu did not stop in the car. When arranging interviews, reporters from both media outlets adopted a silent documentary approach, only filming without asking questions or speaking.
Coaster's single row adopts a 1+2 seat arrangement. Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang sit together, and Li Mu sits next to them across an aisle.
The route of the car is from the airport to the Fifth Ring Road, then from the Fifth Ring Road to Jingtong, which is the east line of Chang'an Street, and then drive all the way to Chang'an Street. In the middle, it will pass by the CBD, China World Trade Center, and Tiananmen Square. The places it passes are all Yanjing is very representative, including the portrayal of Yanjing's economic development, the imprint of Yanjing's continuous opening up, and the unique solemnity of Yanjing as the capital.
Leslie Cheung and Mui Yanfang are both big names in the Hong Kong entertainment industry who recognize the mainland the most. Leslie Cheung started cooperating with the mainland film industry very early. Before his return, he publicly called himself a "Chinese" and was not only very friendly to the mainland. And he has a special sense of belonging. As early as in his photo album back then, he personally wrote the preface, saying that he had held more than a dozen concerts in mainland China and was very happy to see that this land with thousands of years of culture is moving forward. In the new era, this preface ends with eight characters: red flags flying, peace and prosperity for the country and the people. It can be said that he is a typical example of being both popular and professional in the entertainment industry.
As for Mei Yanfang, although many people have slandered her, she has indeed stated her Chinese identity in many public occasions, just like Zhang Guorong. She also mentioned it in a TV interview that she believed The whole of China is developing in a good direction, and as a Chinese, she naturally wants to support China and hopes that China can be better. Like Zhang Guorong, she has an innocent heart.
As the car drove on Chang'an Street, both of them seemed extremely excited and excited, constantly communicating about the amazing development speed of Yanjing. When passing by Tiananmen Square, both of them had obvious respect and solemnity in their expressions. Li Mu was in He rarely spoke, but he was paying attention to the expressions and actions of the two people. When he saw this, he felt a little more admiration for these two people.
The two people can have such a strong sense of patriotism and national identity, which is indeed a model in the entertainment industry.
…
When they settled into the hotel, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, Yanjing time. Li Mu did not disturb the two of them too much, settled in their accommodation, and left.
The reporter sent by CCTV was very experienced. He had just finished the follow-up interview, and he immediately called the station and gave a brief report on today's interview results.
Generally speaking, there are two points:
First, Li Mu said what CCTV had been waiting for, giving the Western media a well-founded, neither humble nor arrogant counterattack;
Secondly, the performance of the two Hong Kong stars Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang greatly exceeded expectations. Originally, CCTV thought that they came to Yanjing to save the situation, mostly for Li Mu's sake, rather than from the height of national justice, but After being contacted today, this senior reporter discovered that there was a big misunderstanding in CCTV's judgment. Although these two people were invited by Li Mu to come to Yanjing to save the situation, it was not more for the sake of face among friends, but more for the sake of face between friends. It is extremely rare to truly stand at the height of national justice, so he was able to capture many shots that highlighted this characteristic of them.
Therefore, the person in charge of this news line of CCTV immediately expressed his attitude: hurry back to the station to edit the film, and strive to be on the morning news tomorrow morning.
In fact, CCTV has never given such high-standard treatment to any performance except the Spring Festival Gala. It is almost Spring Festival Gala-level treatment. Every news program every day will devote one to two minutes to this performance. The performance is covered by special reports, so they also need a lot of video material to support;
YY.com has opened a special page on the website. The entire page is all about news reports about this performance, including the progress of the preparations for the performance, the specific situation of each invited star, and some exclusive interviews. The public is paying attention to The popularity is so high that YY website even conducted a special poll. The question is: Among the more than 20 singers, which one are you most looking forward to performing? Among them are not only every star who has confirmed to attend the party, but also Li Mu’s name.
After the voting began, Leslie Cheung led the way in the number of votes, followed closely by Taiwan's popular new generation singer Jay Chou. However, what was unexpected was that Li Mu, as a guest singer who played for votes, was actually voted by the users. Ranked third, less than one percentage point behind Jay Chou's vote, which shows that the audience's expectations for Li Mu are also very high.
Without knowing that Li Mu is Muzi, audiences across the country don't know whether Li Mu sings well. However, because Li Mu is so well-known and has so many fans, everyone is looking forward to his performance.
Nowadays, this performance has become a top event in the entire Chinese entertainment industry. The public's level of attention to this performance has exceeded everyone's expectations. CCTV's survey shows that people are now paying more attention to this party. The level of expectations has been much higher than the audience's expectations before the broadcast of any Spring Festival Gala.
The reason for this is not only because of the large scale of this performance and the strong lineup of participating stars, but also because we are currently in a special period of the SARS epidemic. Most people are trying to reduce going out as much as possible and spend almost all their time together. I spend my spare time at home, so during this period, the ratings of major TV stations are rising, and the number of users of websites and games is also growing.
In addition to these two points, there is another very important reason, and that is the meaning behind this party. As much as people are worried about SARS, they will pay attention to SARS. At the same time, they also pay attention to every action of the country in response to SARS. This The theme of the evening party is the fight against SARS. All people who pay attention to the progress of SARS will pay attention to this performance.
Not only the public is paying attention, but a large number of celebrities are also paying attention.
Ever since Li Mu worked hard for this show, everyone in the entertainment industry wanted to be a part of this show. Director Xu’s phone was almost flooded with calls. Many celebrities tried their best and even relied on countless connections to find him. Director Xu just wants to be able to sing a song at this show for free, even if he sings a song with other singers, he doesn't want to sing alone, but he wants to show his face.
Director Xu was extremely busy preparing for the live broadcast, so he just went all out, not afraid of offending anyone, and refused everyone who came to him. It is said that the number of celebrities he has rejected through various means has almost exceeded 100. Among them are not only several singers who have quit before, but also many first-line and quasi-first-line singers.
At first, Director Xu insisted on refusing to the end, but after he refused, he also felt a lot of pressure. If he continued to refuse like this, he was afraid that he would offend the entire entertainment industry.
So he called Li Mu privately, hoping to find out Li Mu's attitude and whether there was a way to mediate...
