Chapter 222 The Stars Gather (Part 2)
.
After Zhang Jun called, although Lu Wei could not see the expression on the boss of the art media, two more luxury business cars came to Beijing before 9 o'clock in the evening. After a group of people hurriedly entered the door, they found Zhang Jun. Together with more than 20 original staff from the art media, they held an emergency meeting in the small conference room of the hotel. At 10 o'clock, Zhang Jun found Lu Wei who was communicating with the actors in the room and handed the party planning to Lu Wei.
"Mr. Lu, this is the plan we just drove out. Take a look. If you have any modifications, just raise them." Zhang Jun said very politely.
"Okay, thank you so much for your hard work." Lu Wei said with satisfaction when he saw their serious work attitude.
"Where is Mr. Lu able to hand over such an important performance to our art media for planning, which fully demonstrates Mr. Lu's trust in us. These are our duties. Mr. Lu doesn't have to be polite." Zhang Jun said earnestly, and at the same time, he was still in the excitement just now. When he told Mr. Li the general lineup of the actors, Zhang Jun felt that Mr. Li's tone of speaking had changed. The urgency and surprise was exactly the same as when he saw the cast for the first time. Then he made a decision in less than half a second, sending all the elite personnel of the company over, and instructed Zhang Jun to do whatever he could to prepare this evening party even if he lost money. At the same time, he should do his best to establish a good relationship with Lu Wei. If things are done well, he would immediately get promoted after returning. So, in Zhang Jun's eyes, Lu Wei is like his own noble person, and there is no reason to serve him accidentally.
Lu Wei simply looked through it and said, "Mr. Zhang, I don't know much about the planning of the party. However, from your planning book, you can see that you are indeed very careful. Since you have chosen you, it means I believe you. Just let it go. I will go and see it on the spot before the performance tomorrow. If there is anything inappropriate, I will talk about it later."
"Okay, Mr. Lu, please rest assured. We will do our best to organize this evening party. Oh, by the way, this is my business card, with my mobile phone number on it. If Mr. Lu has any requests, just call me at any time. My phone will not turn off for 24 hours."
Lu Wei took the business card handed over by Zhang Jun, said thank you, sent him out, and then returned to the room.
"Haha, junior brother. How do you feel? Do you feel very tired and overworked when holding a party for the first time?" Zhu Hai said jokingly.
"That's not. Actually, what I originally meant was to hold a small concert. I didn't expect so many people to come." Lu Wei said with a smile.
"Actually, Sister Song and I admire you very much. After the news was broadcast two days ago, everyone thought they should do something, but they didn't expect you to take action so quickly." Zhu Hai said with a smile. "Yes, at this time, we musicians should use music to unite the power of the people and awaken the national pride and cohesion in everyone's heart." Lu Wei said with great emotion.
"I really didn't expect that you were so young, so I could think of this. It's much better than the two of us." Song Zu Ying smiled.
"Hehe", Lu Wei didn't say anything, but just smiled embarrassedly.
"By the way, junior brother, don't say I didn't remind you. You have to be prepared to be bombarded by those reporters tomorrow. When we came from Beijing, we had heard that several media were preparing to report for this concert." Zhu Hai said with a smile.
"It's true. Don't scare me." Lu Wei said with a smile.
"What are you lying to? Maybe you can arrive tonight with diligence." Zhu Hai smiled.
"Come on, anyway, this is not a bad thing. It's good to have an interview to expand the impact." Lu Wei said without any worries.
"But you have to be careful. Try not to answer them when it comes to sensitive issues, so as not to cause trouble for yourself." Zhu Hai kindly reminded.
"I understand, Sister Zhu." Lu Wei agreed gratefully. In fact, since the broadcast of "For Who" on the mtv, Lu Wei has attracted the attention of the entertainment media. When he went to Beijing last time, Lu Wei met many reporters interviewed. Therefore, Lu Wei's experience in dealing with reporters can be said to be very rich and old.
"By the way, junior brother, I forgot to give you a gift just now because I was chatting, right?" Zhu Hai said, taking out a beautifully packaged record from his bag and handed it over.
Lu Wei took it and saw the five words "My Home in China" suddenly came into view. On the cover, Zhu Hai, wearing a red dress, was particularly bright and charming, and behind him was the majestic Badaling Great Wall. The entire cover looked very grand.
"Ah, it's done, hurry up and take a look." Lu Wei said, tearing open the wrapping paper, took out the CD, put it into the hotel's vcd, and pressed the play button.
On the picture, in a European-style house, Zhu Hai, wearing a red cheongsam, sat around in front of the fireplace. Zhu Hai held a Peking Opera face in his hand and was saying something to everyone. After the prelude of the music, Zhu Hai Shi stood up and sang softly with a look of longing.
"Ask me where my home is, my home is in China...", the voice seemed to have a trace of distant memory, and it seemed so soft and gentle.
"My home has the Great Wall, my home has the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, my home has a long history, and there are many brothers and sisters in my home..." As the singing became more and more exciting, the picture changed and the beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland appeared. The beautiful singing of the sea accompanied by the majestic symphony accompaniment, like the deepest praise of the motherland, making people feel excited.
"Sister Zhu, I sang so well and filmed very beautifully. Where did I do it?" Lu Wei asked happily after listening to the song.
"The team leader Yin helped to do it. It was just finished filming two days ago and has not been released yet. How about it? It's okay." Zhu Hai said happily.
"Yeah, okay, that's great." Lu Wei was very happy to see Zhu Hai interpreting this song so perfectly, as if he was singing it himself.
"Lu Wei, thank you. I wrote such a good song for me." Zhu Hai looked at Lu Wei sincerely.
"Don't be polite, you are my senior sister." Lu Wei smiled casually.
"Zhu Hai, congratulations, you have made such a good work!" Song Zhuying said sincerely.
"Thank you, Sister Song, you are not bad either. "Looking at the Moon" is almost done. When will it come out, we have to take a sneak peek." Zhu Hai said with a smile.
"Yeah, no problem." When Zhu Hai mentioned "Looking at the Moon", Song Zhuying showed a very happy expression on her face. It has been so long since Lu Wei handed this song over to her. Song Zuying was excited but could not calm down. The more she sang, the more she felt that this song was so beautiful, the kind of song that a singer might only meet once in her life. Song Zuying was really glad that he met Lu Wei and met this song, and his eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Lu Wei.
"Okay. Don't look at me with such eyes, okay, I'm embarrassed." Lu Wei pretended to be a little scared and said.
The next morning, in addition to the fact that some of the actors from the art troupe who had made an appointment in advance, the army of reporters who had been moving from all walks of life also began to arrive one after another. Here, there were media who had been following Lu Wei, and some came to see the situation after hearing some news. For a moment, the Tianfu Hotel was as lively as a festival.
Xie Ming is a reporter from "Studio and Painting Fashion" magazine. When the boss informed him to come here to interview a concert in the early morning, he was still depressed. Because he could have gone to Hong Kong to interview a celebrity concert today. But this is impossible. He is just a newcomer who has just entered the industry and has to endure it even if he is angry with the old man.
But soon, the depression on Xie Ming's face was replaced by surprise.
"The one who just got off the car is Jiang Dawei?" Xie Ming, who was lying lazily in the car just now, looked at a middle-aged man wearing a white suit and a pair of glasses, got off the car. The familiar face made his eyes widen in an instant.
"I can't read it wrong, right?" Xie Ming quickly opened the car door and walked down. However, he had only had time to take a look from a distance, and the middle-aged man walked into the hotel.
However, at this glance, Xie Ming was already sure that this person must be Jiang Dawei. This star face has appeared on TV countless times. If he made mistakes in this entertainment journal, he would not have to eat this bowl of rice. However, what Xie Ming couldn't understand was why Jiang Dawei appeared here.
However, today is destined to be a day that surprises Zhou Ming and many reporters. Before he could recall the surprise and guesses of seeing Jiang Dawei, Zhou Ming looked at Dai Yuqiang, Tong Tiexin, Wang Hongwei, Yan Weiwen and others appearing one after another, Zhou Ming was almost glaring out his eyes. He had already run to the hall to prepare for an interview, but he was helplessly stopped in the hall by the security guards of the hotel.
"Why do these people appear here? Are they all coming for this concert? Didn't that Lu Wei just a third-rate singer? Even if the song "For Who" has made him famous, he is not on the same level as these people anyway?" Xie Ming couldn't figure it out. Look at the reporters who were struggling forward desperately. Oh my God, what kind of people are they all, from "Music Frontline" magazine, from "Southeast Satellite TV", and even Xie Ming saw a friend's microphone with CCTV printed on it, and Xie Ming was speechless.
However, it was obvious that the Central Station had the privilege and came as promised. The staff politely let the reporter go in, but the others were still blocked outside.
Such a move immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of other reporters, and protests continued, and some even began to squeeze in hard. Seeing that the security guard's face was already sweating, the lobby manager hurriedly asked the security department to strengthen the security force and immediately reported the situation to the manager.
"What? There are too many reporters? The security guard can't stop him?" After hearing the report, the manager of Tianfu quickly put down the phone and found Lu Wei to explain the situation.
Lu Wei, who was chatting with the actors who had just arrived, did not look very panic when he heard the manager's words, and said with a smile: "This way, Manager Chen, go out and tell them that a small press conference will be held at 2:30 in the afternoon, so that they can ask if they have any questions."
"Okay. I'll inform them now." After hearing Lu Wei's words, Manager Chen was obviously relieved. He didn't want to have a rippling relationship with these uncrowned kings. At that time, he would give his hotel a negative report, which would be troublesome.
He quickly returned to the hall and announced the news in public. The reporters were a little quieter, but still had some dissatisfaction.
Manager Chen ordered the waiter to add some chairs to the lobby for the reporters to rest and provide free tea. Such a good attitude finally relieved the reporters' excitement.
"How is it? Junior brother, I'll tell you. You are busy today, but you just showed you a little bit of a general's demeanor." Zhu Hai said jokingly.
"Of course, but you are indispensable at the press conference. I have decided to let you be the representative of these actors. You have to help me block the bullets at that time." Lu Wei smiled.
"No problem, you're the senior brothers and sisters." Zhu Hai smiled generously.
"Haha, Teacher Jin has accepted two more good students. I have heard "For Who" you two sang, which is very good." Dai Yuqiang said to the two with a smile. He had also learned a vocal music from Jin Tielin, and he was still the senior brother of the two. He had heard some of Lu Wei's singing, but he only felt that the voice was very good, and his potential in bel canto was huge, and his singing style was somewhat similar to his own, which made him feel a little closer to Lu Wei.
"Haha, senior brother, your singing is really exciting. I especially like your tone, it's just like the King of High Notes C. You have to sing two more songs tonight to give me a happy ending." Lu Wei smiled. Although he only talked with Dai Yuqiang for a while, because both of them sang bel canto, and their views on duet singing are similar. In this way, both of them feel that they wish they met too late.
At noon, in the lobby of the second floor of the hotel, Lu Wei personally hosted the actors. During the meal, both the waiters serving the dishes and the leadership of the hotel were looking for various excuses to visit frequently, but in fact they took the opportunity to see the twinkling scene of stars. In their impression, although Tianfu is the highest-standard hotel in Changli, it has never been hosted with such high-standard guests at any time. Manager Chen of the hotel personally accompanied the guests to take care of the guests, which shows how much the hotel attaches importance to this reception.
Lu Wei was about to raise his glass when the restaurant door was pushed open. Deputy Mayor Huang Jiangqin walked in with Principal Li and a group of government leaders.
Two days ago, Principal Li talked to him about the concert, but he didn't agree at first. Although the theme of the concert was not a problem, he had always been asking for safety and still had some doubts about activities related to such sensitive events. However, after Principal Li revealed to him such a relationship as the Propaganda Department, Mayor Huang began to pay attention to this matter. Although he did not agree immediately, he still asked someone to check Lu Wei's situation. As a result, this investigation surprised himself. He naturally knew about Lu Wei's Spring Festival Gala and filming mtv, but he never expected that there was such a relationship behind it. After thinking about it carefully, Mayor Huang still agreed to this.
Things. At noon today, I heard that Lu Wei was here to entertain actors at the performances in the evening. He felt that as the leader, he should also care about this matter, so he called Principal Ma and some cadres from the government propaganda department to come and visit. As a result, even though he pushed the door, even with his very stable mentality in the officialdom for a long time, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised. At the same time, he was glad that he rushed over early at noon today. It was fine for those pop singers, looking at Jiang Dawei and Yan Weiwen... These singers came alone, which was also a major event worthy of publicity for this city. Now four or five came at a time, which was almost catching up with the main singer lineup of the Spring Festival Gala.
However, Mayor Huang had been doing administrative work for many years and quickly adapted to the situation in front of him. He smiled enthusiastically, shook hands with Lu Wei, and said with a smile: "I said Lu Wei, this is wrong. There are so many respected guests here today, why don't you notify me?" He looked very familiar in his words.
Lu Wei smiled and said, "Mayor Huang, I'm afraid of disturbing your work. Besides, I didn't know that so many actors would come in advance. Haha, it's all Secretary Zhao's intention." Lu Wei pointed it cleverly.
Mayor Huang's face looked as usual, but his heart moved for a moment and said to himself, it seemed that Principal Li was really saying it well, and the expression on his face became even more enthusiastic.
After Lu Wei introduced Mayor Huang, he enthusiastically shook hands with the actors one by one, briefly said something like strong support and wishing the concert a success, and accompanied Lu Wei to have lunch.
"Lu Wei, the theme of this concert was chosen well. At this time, it is very necessary to use music to celebrate the national spirit. Lu Wei, please raise any requirements and difficulties, and the city will definitely support it." Huang Jiangqin said heavily.
"Thank you for your concern, don't worry, we will definitely hold this concert!" Lu Wei also said sincerely.
"Xiao Chen." Mayor Huang greeted the Tianfu Manager who had been accompanying him.
"Mayor Huang." Manager Chen agreed with a diligent smile.
"We must take good care of the diet and daily life of these actors, and make sure there is no problem, do you know?" Huang Jiangqin said seriously.
"Don't worry, Mayor Huang, and ensure that the task is completed." Manager Chen said confidently.
"In addition, the government is responsible for all the food and accommodation of these actors, so don't let Lu Wei pay for it." Huang Jiangqin said formally.
"Mayor Huang, no need..." Lu Wei was about to refuse, but Huang Jiangqin waved her hand and said, "Lu Wei, you are not only in your patriotism, but the government should do its best for such a thing."
Seeing that Mayor Huang's attitude was very firm, Lu Wei no longer insisted.
The press conference in the afternoon was held on time, and compared with the number of reporters in the morning, there were a lot more in the afternoon. The questions raised were naturally strange, but most of them were targeting the cast and scale of the concert, the content of the performance. Of course, there were many private issues for Lu Wei, but Lu Wei, who had been through the battle, dealt with it very appropriately and did not have any problems. After learning about the content of the concert, many reporters were full of expectations for the performance tonight, prepared the equipment, and were full of energy to prepare for the special shot.
