314 Can't Weak Momentum and Historic Meeting(1/2)
No. 20, Beijing Airport
"Director Ye, Cao Fuzhen called and asked if he would like to arrange for someone to pick him up at the airport? He said that MJ's pick-up at the airport was very grand. Could you please go over and make arrangements as well."
Ye Fan thought for a moment and said, "The guest list will be announced tomorrow. It's okay to make some arrangements. We can't lose our momentum when we go abroad."
Li Bingxue nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell him right now and let him make arrangements there."
The official guest list for MJ's concert will be announced tomorrow. There is no need to hide it any longer. This is why Ye Fan chose to leave today.
Unlike Brother Hua's advance publicity, Ye Fan asked PepsiCo not to reveal the news about his trip to Seoul.
Brother Hua and the others are not easy to interview. Ye Fan was in Hengdian some time ago. If he is really exposed, many reporters will definitely bother him.
Although there are rumors that Ye Fan will go to Seoul because the names of Brother Hua and Li Wen were announced by the organizer.
There are also rumors that Li Ming will participate, but he is not on the list. This is due to his undecided schedule, but it has also caused a lot of discussion among the outside world.
Ye Fan's reputation in the music world is higher than theirs, and many people thought it was impossible for him not to be invited, but he never responded.
There were no results from the reporter's interview, so we could only speculate whether Ye Fan had schedule issues and was unable to attend.
In addition, Ye Fan is sometimes high-profile and sometimes low-key, and likes to hide some major issues first, which makes many reporters very helpless and dare not make any judgments.
In addition, the promotion after the original Hua Ge was quite interesting. I don’t know if it was his own idea or the team’s idea.
After Brother Hua came back from Seoul, some media reported that he was the only Asian singer invited by MJ, or that he was invited by MJ on a personal basis.
But Li Ming and Li Wen both went there and took photos with MJ, but on the cards, Brother Hua paid more attention to them.
Judging from the group photo posted behind Brother Hua, MJ was not only wearing sunglasses, not looking at the camera, nor smiling. The personal relationship between the two did not look very good, and the publicity was obviously exaggerated.
However, Ye Fan also understood that Li Ming had a relatively low-key personality and MJ was Hua Ge's idol, so he would definitely publicize such an opportunity.
After Cao Fuzhen received the reply, he contacted Lee Soo Man to make arrangements. As a shareholder of SM Company and an Asian superstar, it was his first time in Seoul, and he had to keep up with the cards...
Just after Ye Fan boarded the plane, news came out in Seoul that Ye Fan was coming to attend MJ's concert, which immediately aroused widespread attention in South Korea.
Ye Fan's Korean fans were extremely excited and were confirming the news one after another. After Korean media and entertainment reporters confirmed the news with the organizer, the Korean fans were elated.
Korean fans hope that Ye Fan has come to Korea more than once or twice. Now they can finally meet their idol, Oppa. How can they not be excited?
Cao Fuzhen and the others hadn't organized yet. After learning about Ye Fan's flight arrival time, many Korean fans in Seoul spontaneously headed to the airport.
Some well-informed domestic media also quickly heard the news. When reporters in the capital learned that Ye Fan had boarded the plane, they only scolded Ye Fan for being an unworthy man and only announced the news at this time.
All we can do is report to our work units and apply to go to Seoul. However, the domestic media and reporters who have already arrived in Seoul feel like they have won the lottery. Is there such a good thing?
No need to be reminded by the company, they were all preparing to go to the airport, wanting to get in touch with Ye Fan as soon as possible...
At noon, Ye Fan arrived at Incheon Airport. Bangzi Country was really "big". It only took less than three hours to fly from the capital to Seoul. With such a short distance, it was great to be a province of China.
Ye Fan looked out the window. There were already many reporters waiting next to the plane. Cao Fuzhen was also there. Li Xiuman didn't come. It seemed that he was still holding on to his identity.
Seeing the reporters outside, the passengers in the cabin were very surprised. They all speculated that there was some big shot on the plane, and someone actually came to pick them up.
Ye Fan is worse than MJ in this aspect. He has his own private plane, and on the plane are his family and team.
Ye Fan can afford to buy a private jet, but buying it now is too high-profile and does not fit with his style. When he needs to go abroad frequently later, he can buy it in the name of his company, which will have a much smaller impact.
When the plane stopped, Ye Fan took off his mask and sunglasses, and walked out of the cabin under the nymphomaniacal eyes of the stewardess, causing people outside to exclaim.
Many people saw Ye Fan in person for the first time and felt that he was much more handsome than he looked in photos and movies. He was also taller, his eyes were confident and determined, and he was dressed in a white suit with full aura. He looked more like an elder than a star.
Ye Fan stepped down the gangway and greeted the camera with a smile. Only then did the reporters react and started taking pictures one after another, with their flashlights constantly on.
On the other side of the screen, the Korean media station also started to provide commentary. Korean fans watched the scene of Ye Fan appearing on the TV series in the airport, and screams resounded throughout the hall.
Many staff members were very surprised. This card seemed to be as good as MJ's. When Andy Lau and Li Ming came, there was no such lively scene.
Ye Fan walked to the ground, took the flowers from the stewardess, blew a few kisses, and walked to the VIP channel.
Passengers in the cabin were excited when they saw that it was Ye Fan. The entire cabin suddenly became lively, and there were voices of surprise one after another.
Some female passengers let out piercing screams and wanted to get up and rush out of the cabin to meet their idols. Unfortunately, they were stopped by the stewardess. Zeng Li and others in the first class cabin had not left yet, so there could be no problem.
The reporters outside thought it was over, but when Zeng Li walked out of the cabin, there was another burst of exclamation. They didn't know that Ye Fan had actually brought Zeng Li with him, and they hurriedly turned their cameras and started taking pictures.
Zeng Li's appearance caused many people in front of the TV to scream again, but this time it was many men. They regretted not rushing to the airport!
Most of Ye Fan's Korean fans are women, but Zeng Li is different. She also has many fans in Korea with "Sassy Girlfriend", and she kills both men and women. In this aspect, she is better than Ye Fan.
Many men in the cabin were also excited to see Zeng Li in real life and found that she was more beautiful than on the camera.
This also aroused the interest of many gossip enthusiasts. Why did Ye Fan bring Zeng Li to Seoul? Is this to announce his relationship? Many passengers began to discuss the scandal between the two...
Then Wang Jinghua, Li Bingxue and other team members got off the plane, and then it was the turn of other passengers.
The passengers got off the plane very quickly, but unfortunately they couldn't take the VIP channel. They could only watch Ye Fan's team walk away with regret and disappointment...
There were so many fans waiting outside the airport to pick them up. When they saw Ye Fan and others walking out of the airport, the screams and shouts became even louder.
Ye Fan pretended to wave to the fans with Zeng Li, which triggered another burst of strong cheers.
Because apart from calling him and Zeng Li's names with "Oppa/Unnie, Salang Hey", "I LOVE U" and lame accents, neither of them understands Korean, so they can only pretend.
The two got into the car and drove towards the hotel under the escort of vehicles and security personnel arranged by the organizer.
But fans kept coming along the way, shouting the names of Ye Fan and Zeng Li at the team, which made the organizers very surprised.
Do we need to quickly arrange an exclusive drive to see him off? This is a treatment that only MJ can get.
Are you looking down on people? If Ye Fan is alone, he may not need it, but with Zeng Li, it will be different. Although the popularity of the two in Korea is not as good as MJ, it will not be much different.
The organizer already valued Ye Fan enough, but unexpectedly underestimated it. They had to upgrade to the highest level of escort standard to make the road to the hotel smoother...
Many people who didn't buy MJ concert tickets want to slap themselves in the face. Even if they can't go to the concert, they can still make a lot of money by reselling them.
Because Ye Fan and Zeng Li came to Korea for the first time, and they came together, the sensation they caused can be said to be second only to MJ.
The news that Ye Fan will be on stage has caused a surge in the price of concert tickets in the scalper market, reaching an average of 30,000 RMB per ticket, and even as high as 50,000 RMB for a front row seat, which is really scary.
Ye Fan had requested a few tickets from Pepsi in advance. If he sold them now, he could easily earn hundreds of thousands of RMB. Unfortunately, they were given to Zeng Li and the others and could not be sold. It would not sound good if they spread the word. After all, it was charity.
concert.
The sensational situation of Ye Fan's arrival also alarmed MJ who was rehearsing. He knew that Ye Fan was famous in Asia, but he didn't expect to be so famous, which made him somewhat interested in Ye Fan.
It's a pity that he didn't know that this was the effect of Ye Fan and Zeng Li arriving together. He thought it was Ye Fan alone. This shows that Ye Fan is a thief and will not bow easily even when facing MJ. After all, respect is respect and interests are interests.
.
But as an international superstar, what scene has MJ not seen before? He was surprised for a moment, and then continued rehearsing. When Ye Fan comes to rehearse, he will naturally see it...
Ye Fan and others arrived at the hotel. As soon as they settled in, Brother Hua came over.
"You're here with a lot of pomp and circumstance. You're almost as good as MJ. Doesn't it look like your style?"
Seeing the envious expression on Brother Hua's face, Ye Fan smiled and said: "Unlike at home, you can't embarrass the Chinese people when you go abroad. I have to follow whatever standards I should have. It doesn't cost me my money anyway."
Brother Hua laughed and gave Ye Fan a thumbs up. Judging from Ye Fan's behavior, he was telling the truth, which is admirable.
"How many songs are you going to sing when you come here this time?"
"The organizer didn't say there should be a maximum of three songs. I have prepared a few songs. I will choose based on the results of the rehearsal. What about you?"
"I sing "Forgetting Love" and "Stupid Child". These two songs are relatively popular here. We will go to rehearsal together later. Don't be too excited when you see MJ."
Seeing Brother Hua acting like a little fanboy, Ye Fan said amusedly: "Why should I be excited? He is your idol, not mine. MJ is just a senior in the music industry to me. I respect him but I am not a fan of him."
.”
Brother Hua was surprised and said: "No way, he is the international superstar MJ!"
Ye Fan pretended to say goodbye: "So what if you are an international superstar? I will be one in the future, I am who I am, a different kind of fireworks."
Brother Hua had a dark look on his face. How did Ye Fan's character succeed so well in the entertainment industry?
Seeing this, Ye Fan smiled and said: "Brother Hua, I grew up listening to your songs and watching your dramas. Compared with him, you are my idol."
"Hahaha, no, no, don't say that, it makes me look old."
Ye Fan's words made Brother Hua smile instantly. He probably also went to Sichuan Province to study, and his face changing skills improved very quickly.
The two chatted for a while and then finished lunch together. Ye Fan took Zeng Li and others and headed to the Seoul Olympic Stadium with Brother Hua.
Ye Fan was not familiar with Li Wen, and the relationship between Li Ming and Hua Ge had always been a bit delicate in the 1990s, so Ye Fan had no intention of looking for them...
At the entrance of the gymnasium, many reporters had already flocked to the stadium, wanting to see what kind of sparks there would be when Ye Fan and MJ met.
Domestic reporters were even more excited. At the turn of the century, Ye Fan and MJ met, which was a historic moment for domestic entertainment. Especially since Ye Fan was a mainland star, this was even more difficult!
"Come here, it's Ye Fan's car."
"I saw it. Do you think he and Zeng Li are a couple? Why did he bring her here?"
"I also want to know, do you think he will admit it? It's probably my sister's trick again. That's not the focus today. The focus is on him meeting MJ."
"I know, I know, he got off the car, I'll go! Andy Lau is also here, there will be headlines tomorrow."
…
Fortunately, Ye Fan put on his sunglasses in advance. There were almost constant flashes outside. Now he understood why MJ often wore sunglasses. It was all the fault of these reporters. Without sunglasses, his eyes would sooner or later have problems.
Because of the isolation zone, reporters are currently unable to come in for interviews. Ye Fan and others walked directly into the gymnasium under the escort of security guards...
