Chapter 923 Gathering in Yanjing (4000+ chapters~)
On this day, Yanjing Airport was crowded and bustling with people.
There were men and women, all dressed up, holding their own signs and shouting loudly!
"Michael! Michael! Michael!"
"Bob! Bob! Bob!"
"Paul! Paul! Paul!"
The fact that Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney are about to attend the Strawberry Music Festival is the hottest news in China during this period, and today is the time when the three of them arrive in Yanjing.
At this time, many people came out of Yanjing Airport. When they saw such a huge crowd outside the airport, they were obviously not used to it. Some people hurriedly pushed their luggage and left.
Some people are curious and ask people around them why they are like this!
When they learned what happened, some pushed their luggage and left, while others stayed here and shouted with the fans.
It can be seen that most of the people waiting here are young people, and some people are carrying guitars and want to see their idols first.
The bustling crowd must have been at least several hundred people. It was this situation that made the airport patrol officers feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, and even set up a cordon to ensure the safety of the crowd.
Considering that the influence of the three people is too great, and that this is an unorganized party, it is likely to cause some riots, so Wu Jianye decided to give the three people a ban after discussing with the airport staff.
I opened a green channel, passed through the crowd, and walked out of the airport in the other direction.
In a black RV, Michael Jackson and three people were sitting inside. The three of them were no longer unfamiliar with such scenes. After seeing Wu Jianye, they also smiled and greeted each other.
After the RV slowly left the airport, in the airport lobby, a well-educated person came out and explained to the fans at the scene that the three Michael Jacksons had already left the airport and were heading to the hotel.
Naturally, the fans waiting at the airport were very dissatisfied with this arrangement. At the same time, there were also reporters from various media and newspapers waiting here.
However, there is nothing these people can do if they are not satisfied. It is impossible for Michael and the others to show up in such a scene.
In fact, this situation will continue for nearly ten years. When Michael Jordan came to China for the first time, it also caused a huge sensation.
Many events arranged by Nike had to be canceled due to the large number of fans.
Even when they were being interviewed later, reporters from the Basketball News were arranged in a mysterious way. They were notified early in the morning that they could interview Michael Jordan, and they had to go crazy while driving in a van to interview Michael Jordan.
.
At this time, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney arrived in Yanjing at the same time, and the sensation caused would only be greater than that of Michael Jordan at the time. Therefore, even if the reporters and fans at the scene expressed dissatisfaction, it was impossible to let them down.
These three people appeared in public at this time!
Wu Jianye took the three of them directly to Yanjing Hotel.
"You guys take a rest first, and I will take you to taste Yanjing's delicacies in the evening!" Wu Jianye said to the three of them in the hotel room.
"Haha, now that we are here, the rest of our trip is all in your charge!" Bob Dylan looked very happy!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "That's natural. You can go to rehearsal tomorrow and attend the first performance of the Strawberry Music Festival the day after tomorrow!"
The schedules of these three people are very tight, and it is not easy to squeeze out three days.
Michael Jackson asked: "Wu, I know that the Great Wall in Yanjing is very famous. We had discussed it when we came here and wanted to see the Great Wall!"
Traveling to the Great Wall is a place that almost every foreigner who comes to Yanjing wants to go, even Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney are no exception.
"Yes, I have heard of a saying before..." Finally, Paul McCartney stuttered and said in Chinese: "You are not a true man unless you reach the Great Wall!" The words came out.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "Then let's visit the Great Wall tomorrow morning and rehearse in the afternoon!"
After hearing Wu Jianye's arrangement, Michael Jackson and the other three expressed no objection.
The three of them did not come alone, they all had their own teams. At the same time, Michael Jackson even brought his professional dance troupe, which shows how seriously the three of them attach importance to this Strawberry Music Festival.
After Wu Jianye arranged the three people, he went to another room to see Zhang Guoyi and Anita Mui, who had arrived an hour earlier than the three people!
The two lived in two rooms respectively, but at this time, Anita Mui was in Zhang Guoyi's room, chatting with Zhang Guoyi!
Naturally, there were two of them at the dinner party in the evening. After listening to Wu Jianye's arrangements, Zhang Guoyuan expressed no objection, but he still said: "Director Wu, I'm going out to meet some friends later. I'll go directly to them in the evening."
Come find you!"
Zhang Guoyuan stayed in Yanjing for several months to film "Farewell My Concubine" and made some friends. This time when he came to Yanjing again, Zhang Guoyuan also wanted to see his friends!
Wu Jianye had no objection to this, but just told Zhang Guoyuan to pay attention to safety.
Mei Yanzi curiously asked Wu Jianye: "Have Michael and the others arrived already?"
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "We're here, I'm resting in the room next to you!"
Mei Yanzi thought for a moment and said, "Forget it, let's wait until we have dinner in the evening to talk."
It turns out that Anita Mui still wanted to see Michael Jackson and others. Although they were shining stars in Hong Kong, in front of Michael Jackson and others, Anita Mui also turned into a little fan girl!
But one good thing is that they are also celebrities, so they naturally know when to meet. Not to mention that they are going to have dinner together in the evening, so they are not so anxious!
After Wu Jianye walked out of their room, he told the Maplewood security guards to take good care of Zhang Guoyi's safety.
In order to ensure the safety of these people this time, Wu Jianye mobilized a security team of nearly a hundred people from Maplewood Security, mainly to prepare for the Strawberry Music Festival the day after tomorrow.
Then Wu Jianye called Cui Jia, who was waiting a little anxiously, and told him where to eat that night.
The participants of this dinner were Wu Jianye, Cui Jian, Lao Ge, Zhang Guoyi, Anita Mui, Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, and Paul McCartney!
As for the place to eat, Wu Jianye arranged it at Lijia Cuisine.
Wu Jianye originally arranged all this and was about to take a break when he received a call from the relevant domestic departments. They hoped to arrange a reception dinner for Michael Jackson and others, but Wu Jianye refused.
"The three of them came to our Yanjing this time mainly to participate in the Strawberry Music Festival. It is not a commercial event. I think let's forget it. Moreover, the three of them don't like formal business occasions very much!"
Wu Jianye did not want this Strawberry Music Festival to be mixed with too many political elements and become just a music feast.
In the evening, Wu Jianye came to the Yanjing Hotel again in the RV. At this time, Michael Jackson and others also walked out of the hotel and got directly into the RV.
In the RV, Wu Jianye introduced Zhang Guoyi and Anita Mui to Michael Jackson and others.
Michael Jackson and others heard that Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui were also superstars in Hong Kong and friends of Wu Jianye, so they acted very friendly.
To put it bluntly, they were able to come to the Strawberry Music Festival this time just for Wu Jianye's sake, and the people sitting now are all Wu Jianye's friends. After chatting with each other for a while, everyone became familiar with each other.
.
When the car arrived at Bungalow Alley, Michael Jackson and others expressed their admiration for the environment here.
"Wu, I never thought there could be such an outstanding restaurant here!" Michael Jackson and others exclaimed in admiration as they looked at the photos of leaders from various countries in Lijia Cuisine.
Paul McCartney laughed and said: "In London, restaurants like this should be opened in the most prosperous places, but I didn't expect that in China it would be the opposite!"
Wu Jianye said with a smile: "There is a saying in China that the aroma of wine does not scare you from the depth of the alley. This is what it means!"
After inviting a few people to sit down, since the dishes had been ordered in advance, the food started to be served after Wu Jianye and others sat down.
"Come on, let's all have a try and see how the food here tastes!" Wu Jianye asked everyone to use their chopsticks.
Bob Dylan used unskilled chopsticks to pick up a piece of shrimp for himself. After eating, he immediately gave Wu Jianye a thumbs up and said, "Very good!"
Several other people also praised one after another. Zhang Guoyi said with a smile: "Director Wu, you are not being honest like this!"
Wu Jianye smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You brought us here to eat such delicious food. What will we do if we can't eat it in the future?" Zhang Guoyi said angrily.
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "I can't control that!"
Paul McCartney then asked Wu Jianye if he could meet the chef of Li Family Cuisine. Naturally, Wu Jianye did not refuse this request.
I found Mr. Li and explained their ideas. Mr. Li has received many foreign guests over the years, and he knows the concept of foreigners who eat delicious food and want to meet the chef.
I smiled and met Michael Jackson and others, and took photos as souvenirs.
After this set of procedures is completed, the meal officially begins.
Cui Jian invited Paul McCartney to discuss some musical techniques, and expressed that he was able to embark on the road of rock and roll, which was actually influenced by the Beatles.
Paul McCartney had seen such greetings many times and was naturally used to it. However, as the exchanges between the two became more and more profound, Paul McCartney became more and more impressed by Cui Jian.
Well, we cherished each other until the end.
The same goes for the rest of the people. When everyone sits together, they naturally discuss most of the music.
The whole dinner lasted until about ten o'clock in the evening, and then it was considered over.
After sending everyone back to Yanjing Hotel, Wu Jianye told Michael Jackson and the others that he would come to take them to the Great Wall tomorrow morning.
"Teacher Wu, this time is really great!"
After Michael Jackson and others returned to the hotel, Cui Jian smiled and said to Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "The singing hasn't started yet, so I won't, keep this mood until the concert!"
However, Cui Jian was really excited and had to drag Wu Jianye to have skewers again. Together with his brother, the three of them drank until after twelve o'clock, and then it was over.
On the next day, several people set out for the Great Wall, which was considered as fulfilling the wish of Michael Jackson and others.
However, when they visited the Great Wall, they still caused a sensation. There were too many people. Even with the protection of bodyguards, they were still on three levels inside and three outside.
This is somewhat different from the last time beyond visited the Great Wall.
In the afternoon, a few people arrived at the Strawberry Music Festival in Changping.
This place has now been sealed off, and the fans who came here to party before have also been persuaded to leave at this time!
When Wu Jianye and others arrived, they also received a lot of applause.
The people who are still here are basically the bands and singers who will perform tomorrow. However, everyone knows that Wu Jianye and others are coming here to rehearse this afternoon, so many people have not left in order to be able to meet them as soon as possible.
to everyone.
However, everyone was still restrained. Many bands and singers who had finished their rehearsals stood under the stage and watched the people on the stage taking turns rehearsing.
Because Wu Jianye will be on stage tomorrow, he also has to rehearse. The people who are cooperating with him are the same people who were at the Hung Hom Sports Center before. The ones beyond arrived at the scene today because of some problems.
Wu Jianye was the first to rehearse, and he sang not "Dream Back to the Tang Dynasty" at the Hung Hom Stadium, but another song. Several people who worked with him were also familiar with this song.
Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney are both good people. They both have their own professional teams. They have been working with each other for many years, so there is a tacit understanding. The main reason is that they are familiar with the impressions here.
What was more troublesome was Michael Jackson, because his performance also had to take into account the dance aspect, so the rehearsal time was the longest.
By the time the rehearsal ended, it was completely dark.
Wu Jianye took them to experience China's famous snacks again, such as skewers...
However, given the influence of these people, it was impossible to actually go to the roadside stall, so we had to invite people to come to the Strawberry Music Festival to grill everyone!
But even so, the three of them were very surprised by the roadside stall culture.
When everyone returned to the hotel, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Wu Jianye hosted Michael Jackson and others for the Strawberry Music Festival, but some TV stations were very dissatisfied with Wu Jianye at this time.
Because after the news came out that Michael Jackson and others agreed to participate in the Strawberry Music Festival, many TV stations expressed their hope to record it live!
Among them are big TV stations like YTV and Yanjing TV Station!
But the result was that they were all rejected by Wu Jianye!
