Chapter 1360 Superstar arrives in Beijing
That night, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, who had been flying for nearly twenty hours, arrived at Yanjing Airport.
Li Mu took Chen Wan to the airport to greet him. 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, but all the singers who came to participate in the performance, as well as their entourage, could stay here for free. Muye Technology temporarily dispatched two fleets, a total of more than ten luxury cars and business vehicles, specifically used to travel to and from hotels and airports, and pick up these singers and entourage workers.
For the first time, Li Mu attached such importance to a performance, and showed his face, money, people and efforts throughout the whole process, but he was completely devoted to it and enjoyed it.
Because they learned that the two were about to arrive in Beijing, a large number of media reporters went to the airport to pick them up. The two left the entertainment industry for so long, and the media's attention to them has increased.
At the exit of the international terminal, dozens of security guards and staff were dispatched to maintain order. When the airport flight list showed that the flights on which they were on landing safely, all the media reporters at the scene were cheering up and waiting to capture tomorrow's entertainment headlines.
At this time, a group of people suddenly walked into the entrance of the hall. The entertainment reporters who had not squatted to the right seat in the back were suddenly shocked by the crowd, which immediately triggered a commotion.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at the crowd entering from outside. They suddenly realized that Li Mu was walking in the middle of the crowd, and Li Mu didn't wear it while most people at the airport were wearing masks.
"Li Mu is here!" Someone shouted, and the flashing lights on the scene immediately flashed wildly.
So many reporters present came to visit Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, but they didn't expect Li Mu would come to pick him up in person.
Li Mu rarely picks up the plane publicly at the airport. The last time he picked up the plane was to greet the American Flying Tigers in Chuncheng. And that time Li Mu picked up the plane was natural. After all, the entire veteran's immortal charity project was promoted by Li Mu, and his attention to this project is well known to everyone. However, this time, Li Mu made a special trip to the airport to pick up two stars, which was indeed beyond the expectations of all media reporters.
In the eyes of reporters, Li Mu's status is much higher than that of the entire entertainment industry, so it is beyond common sense that 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 Muye Technology has been persuading Li Mu not to pick up the plane in person. What they are most worried about is safety issues. After all, the airport is a public place, and the first imported case in Yanjing came from the airport. Moreover, they also believe that as Li Mu, even if there is no epidemic, it is not suitable to pick up the two stars in person. This has an impact on his usual image as an elite entrepreneur, but Li Mu still insisted on coming. The reason is nothing but the gratitude in his heart.
Most celebrities’ sense of social responsibility does not match their identity and influence. While being a public figure, they are still calculating pros and cons and personal likes and dislikes.
Take this performance for example. Many people are willing to come because they value CCTV's resources due to their face. Later, those who are unwilling to come are also because they feel that those face and resources are still insufficient compared to personal safety. For these stars, they have been doing countless arithmetic problems in their minds. When the potential benefits outweigh the risks, they will flock to them; when the potential benefits are less than the risks, they will also fall into pieces and scatter.
However, for Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang, they have long been top stars in the entertainment industry and have both faded out of the entertainment industry. In this case, they can still agree to their requests and spare no effort to help. At the same time, they can also rush back to China from the United States without hesitation. This is enough to prove that in their hearts, they have always had a strong sense of social responsibility and can be called role models in the entertainment industry.
Since that is the case, I should naturally give myself enough respect. What is it that they come to put out the fire from thousands of miles away to pick up the plane?
As for the issue of masks, to be honest, it is indeed necessary to wear masks when entering and leaving public places, but the reason why Li Mu chose not to wear them was because he felt that this could minimize some external concerns about Yanjing's safety.
If you wear a mask and wear a fully armed person when you come to the airport to pick up the plane, it will inevitably give people the feeling that Yanjing is not safe enough now. If you don’t wear a mask, the news scenes at that time will not give people a sense of depression surrounded by the epidemic. Therefore, in the outside world, especially Western media, are exaggerating that the epidemic is dangerous in Yanjing, you don’t wear a mask to pick up the plane when you go to the airport if you don’t wear a mask. If the epidemic has not happened before, it will definitely play a good counterattack.
In fact, experts have also confirmed that although SARS is a very serious infectious disease, its degree of contagiousness is not high. Unless you are living with patients in a confined space for a long time, you can be infected. Although the airport is a public place, the area is large enough, the air circulation is good, and the disinfection work is very timely. It is exposed to such an environment for a short time and the possibility of being infected is not high.
When the reporters at the airport kept taking photos of Li Mukuai, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang walked out of the exit side by side, talking and laughing. What made all the reporters and even Li Mu feel incredible was that, like Li Mu, these two people did not wear masks!
Although they crossed half of the earth, Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang's mental state were particularly good, much better than when Li Mu met them for the last time. Zhang Guorong's depression was greatly relieved during this period, and Mei Yanfang's cancer was also treated very promptly and effectively. Moreover, after these things, the two of them were more optimistic than before and knew how to cherish life. With such a long period of adjustment, their condition was naturally much better than before.
Mei Yanfang first saw Li Mu. When she saw him, her expression immediately became excited. She smiled and waved her hands at him, and then signaled to Zhang Guorong beside her and pointed 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. After they arrived, Li Mu took the initiative to reach out to Mei Yanfang and said, "Mi Gu, welcome to Yanjing!"
Mei Yanfang smiled and said, "Mr. Li is so busy that he can pick us up at the airport in person. I am so flattered!"
Li Mu said seriously: "No matter how busy you are, you are still working. You are here to pick you up because of your friends. You and your brother traveled thousands of miles to Yanjing. As friends, it is natural for me to pick you up at the airport."
Zhang Guorong joked: "You are an idol of young people all over the world, and you should focus on changing the world with precious time and energy."
Li Mu said: "Brother, don't joke about me. I am still your fan. As a fan, it's understandable to come to the airport to pick you up!"
Zhang Guorong smiled and said, "Come on, I am also your fan. I rarely admire others in my life. You are one of them."
Li Mu laughed, pointed to the reporters who followed him and said to the two: "Brother, Mei Gu, these are reporters from yy.com and CCTV. We and CCTV jointly tracked and reported on your two trip to Yanjing. They have a few simple questions and wanted to interview you. I wonder if it is convenient for you?"
The two nodded at the same time and said, "No problem."
A simple interview at the airport was that Li Mu had communicated with the two before. Li Mu invited them to Yanjing not only to save the show, but also hoped that they could release a message to the society. Whether it was Yanjing or China, it was not as dangerous as Western media. Therefore, the interview at the airport was an opportunity to explain this view through the mouths of Zhang Guorong and Mei Yanfang.
After receiving the two of them’s consent, CCTV reporter immediately got to the point and asked them: “Mr. Zhang Guorong, Miss Mei Yanfang, I want to ask you one question on behalf of the 20 million people in Yanjing. How do you feel when you come to Yanjing this time?”
Zhang Guorong smiled slightly and said to Mei Yanfang: "You answer first, ladies are preferred."
Mei Yanfang nodded and said to the reporter's microphone: "I have always liked Yanjing very much, so I am very happy every time I come to Yanjing."
The microphone was handed to Zhang Guorong, and he smiled and said, "I love Yanjing so much. When I was filming "Farewell My Concubine", I was always obsessed with Yanjing, and now it is no exception. So this time I came back, I was very excited. In addition to participating in charity recovery, I also wanted to take this opportunity to visit my good friends in Yanjing and then make a good move around Yanjing."
The reporter asked again: "Now Western media are promoting the SARS epidemic in Yanjing. They say that the current epidemic in Yanjing is very serious, and they advise the people not to go to Yanjing or even China in the near future. You two came to Yanjing from the United States at this time. I wonder 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, but also 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, rather than to exaggerate which cities or countries are particularly dangerous at this time. This is actually a very irresponsible thing."
