Chapter 1358 No One in the Past, No One Since
Within half an hour, Li Mu received the good news from Leslie Cheung and Mei Yanfang.
Zhang Xueyou, Chen Yixun, Luo Dayou, and Cai Qin all agreed to the invitation of the two, and decided to reject their original work and came to Yanjing to participate in the recording of this party. Originally, there were five fewer people. Now Six more at once.
Li Mu was particularly excited. If Leslie Cheung, Mei Yanfang and the four singers they contacted were all in place, it would be a super luxurious lineup. The influence of this party will definitely be greatly improved by then. "Sunshine Always Comes After Wind and Rain" was changed to "Blind Date and Love One Family", which is really perfect.
So, Li Mu immediately said to Chen Wan, who was also in the excitement: "You call the director of the party now, three things, first, tell him that the six stars are willing to come to the rescue, and let him try his best to Everything is arranged properly, do not put pigeons; secondly, the song I originally reported was changed to "Blind Date and Love One Family", when the first half of the song, my brother and Mei Gu sang together, and the second half, and then choose two from each of the two sides of the strait and three places. Until three singers join in and sing together; third, this performance may be recorded in the history of the entertainment industry, so we must make sure that all the singers sing live, if I don’t accept this, then I will be the first to quit.”
Big names from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places gathered in Yanjing, which is the most dangerous place in the mouth of the Western media, to make a joint contribution to the fight against SARS. The lineup alone is a once in a lifetime. If others don't say it, it's Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang. Now who can invite them both? Come out to perform? Neither of them are interested in the special concert in the Red Pavilion, let alone such a big platter performance! So it's a miracle to get such a lineup, a miracle that is much more awesome than the Spring Festival Gala.
What's more, this is a very meaningful thing in itself, and the positive energy is extraordinary. I believe that this performance will definitely bring great encouragement to the compatriots of the entire Chinese nation, not only the compatriots on both sides of the strait, but also far away. Compatriots and overseas Chinese from all over the world.
Such a major performance is truly unprecedented, and it will definitely go down in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry. However, if a lip-synching method is adopted in such a significant performance, it would be a super failure!
Therefore, Li Mu must give the director of the evening show enough temptation and pressure to use the lineup of these six superstars and his own participation to tempt and force him, and he must choose to sing.
Chen Wan was obedient to Li Mu, so she did so immediately, took out her mobile phone and called the director team.
The director is in the conference room at the moment.
In order to find Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to fill the seats, he made numerous calls with the people in the program preparation team, but basically no Hong Kong and Taiwan singers could confirm that they came to the rescue.
This is not only because some Western media are exaggerating the epidemic situation in Yanjing, but also because of such an urgent schedule, it will almost certainly conflict with their original work arrangements.
Most first-tier and second-tier stars are very busy. Actors have to join the group to film, receive endorsements, shoot commercials, and have to rush around for announcements. There are 35 days a year, and I can't wait for 350 days to have clear arrangements. The same is true for singers. Studio recording, going on tour or participating in various commercial performances, filming V, receiving advertisements, rushing announcements, after a year, there are only a few days to relax.
Generally, for such a star, the work schedule for the next one or two months is full, and the possibility of temporarily making time is very small. It is impossible to spare half a day. Not to mention that this CCTV party needs rehearsal and recording, at least It takes two days.
So suddenly to find these stars, almost no one can spare the time.
However, there are quite a few stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan who can spare time, but they really don't have enough coffee spots. Even if they want to come, the director and other responsible persons may not be able to see it...
The most embarrassing thing is that there is not enough coffee space. I want to use this performance to highlight the compatriots who share weal and woe across the Taiwan Strait and the three places. If the star's coffee space is not enough, then this feeling is not just a meaning, but a long way.
Just when he didn't know what to do, Chen Wan called the director. Although he was extremely annoyed, he had already rejected calls from several friends. After hesitating, he chose to connect.
The director of CCTV is not familiar with Chen Wan. This party is the first time the two have collaborated. At the beginning, he had the air of being a director of CCTV. He always felt that the host from the local station was shorter than himself, but a few After getting in touch with the day's work, he found that the professional ability and professionalism of Chen Wan and He Jiong were not inferior to those of CCTV hosts, and even stronger than CCTV hosts in some areas. At least the CCTV hosts were entertaining. Aspects are born weak.
When the call was connected, the director asked Chen Wan in a slightly decadent voice, "Is there something wrong with Mr. Chen calling so late?"
The friendliest honorific title for each other in the entertainment industry is to call each other a teacher, so in the show group, in addition to calling the director a certain director, everyone else basically calls each other a teacher.
Chen Wan said: "Director Xu, I told Mr. Li of Muye Technology about today's emergency, and he urgently contacted Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang. Both of them decided to return to China to save the farm immediately, and they are expected to arrive at Yanfang tomorrow night. Beijing."
The director didn't react for a while, and just subconsciously repeated: "Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang are coming to the rescue? These two haven't shown up for a while..."
Speaking of this, he suddenly came back to his senses, and stood up in the conference room, his voice nearly doubled, and he asked in shock, "What did you say?! Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang are coming to the rescue? Save our field?! Teacher Chen, are you sure you're not kidding me?!"
This roar made the entire conference room stunned!
Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang? !
how is this possible? !
These two are superstars and predecessors in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and they have a very large influence in the entire Chinese world. Some time ago, the two gradually faded out of the entertainment industry. Countless media have regretted it, and all movie fans, fans and fans are waiting. With the official comeback of the two, at this time, the superstar resources that everyone dare not expect the most, I am afraid it is these two!
The entire preparatory team once counted the current stars of Hong Kong and Taiwan with their fingers several times, and listed every star who may be invited, but no one dared to list these two, how is it possible? ! It is said that a performance company offered Zhang Guorong over 100 million Hong Kong dollars to let him return to a global tour, but Zhang Guorong refused without hesitation, and Mei Yanfang also received almost the same offer, but the two were unmoved , a Hong Kong media gossip media even joked that unless a big shot in the Hong Kong entertainment industry dies, it is impossible for these two people to appear in the public eye. This shows how difficult it is to invite these two people to come out!
However, at this time, these two superstars in the Hong Kong entertainment industry have to come to this charity party? Moreover, they took the initiative to participate without inviting them. No one could believe such an incredible thing.
At this time, Chen Wan said to the director: "Director Xu, why would I joke with you about this kind of thing, the person was invited by President Li."
"But I read the news some time ago and said that they are in the United States! And it seems that Teacher Mei Yanfangmei has cancer and has been receiving treatment in the United States..."
"Yeah." Chen Wan said, "The two of them have indeed been in the United States, but after President Li made an invitation, they immediately decided to return to China to save the world."
It took the director more than ten seconds to come back to his senses, and his excited mobile phone was almost shaken off, and he said, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you, Mr. Chen! This really saved us all!"
Chen Wan smiled and said, "I'm just a microphone. If you want to thank Mr. Li, you should thank Mr. Li. After all, it's all his efforts."
The director nodded again and again and said, "That's for sure! I must thank Mr. Li!"
Chen Wan said: "There is more, the good news is not just this one."
The director asked in surprise: "What good news?"
Chen Wan said: "Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang are very recognized for the meaning of our party, so they also did their best to invite several Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, including Hong Kong's Zhang Xueyou and Chen Yixun, There are also Luo Dayou and Cai Qin from Taiwan.”
The director only felt an unprecedented sense of happiness exploded in his mind like a nuclear bomb, and the whole person was so excited that he could barely stand, and asked tremblingly, "Mr. Chen, are these four singers also coming to the rescue? "
"Yes." Chen Wan said, "The time has been set, and the last of them will arrive at Yanjing at 1:30 a.m. the day after tomorrow."
The director hurriedly said: "Then I will arrange the reception work."
"You don't have to worry about Director Xu." Chen Wan said, "Mr. Li has already arranged this matter, and his staff will coordinate and handle it. If there is no accident, all the actors will be able to join us three days later. rehearsal."
"Okay, okay!" The director was so excited that he hurriedly said, "I will hold a meeting with everyone immediately to readjust the performance process according to the new list."
Chen Wan said, "Director Xu, there are two more things I want to tell you."
"Teacher Chen, please speak."
"Mr. Li will replace the song "Sunshine Always Behind the Wind and Rain" with "Blind Date and Love the Family". He will sing this song together with Zhang Guorong, Mei Yanfang, and four other Hong Kong and Taiwan singers. I still need you to come. Fill in a few mainland singers."
"That's no problem!" The director's eyes lit up. The song "Blind Date and Love One Family" is more titled than "Sunshine Always After the Wind and Rain". This song is so perfect.
Chen Wan added: "In addition, Mr. Li has a clear requirement, that is, the whole party must be sung in full, and this must be done."
The director nodded his head almost without hesitation: "President Li please rest assured, we will do it!"
The director is also very clear in his heart that with so many big names and such a perfect lineup, even the Spring Festival Gala is incomparable. It is impossible to find such a lineup. If such a high-level performance is still lip-synching, That was really a shame, so he made up his mind almost immediately to ensure that there would be no accidents and flaws in this party, and to give a perfect answer sheet to the compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places and overseas Chinese!
