2000年10月29日  Leon飛韓國續拍「天士夢」

Leon經過連日趕拍「神偷次世代」之後，今日又要飛到韓國繼續拍「天士夢」。由於今日是星期天，所以來到送機的歌迷非常多。約在12:05pm，保母車來到機場大樓外，先放下子泉為Leon辦理登機手續，有歌迷看到車上的Leon正閉目養神，連子泉等人搬下行李也沒有張眼看一下。

子泉辦好登機手續後，在場數名記者向子泉要求訪問Leon，子泉打了一個電話，就和記者到大樓外等候。

保母車在12:25pm又駛回來，子泉先上車，然後下車接待四名文字記者上車做訪問，兩名攝影記者則守在車前不遠處，接著就是三名secure攔著歌迷。不久又有一名記者前來，子泉下車問她查看記者証後，再讓她上車。訪問了大概十五分鐘後，大概12:40pm，保母車的門打開了，記者們就在門外為車上的Leon拍照。拍完後，保母車先離開，讓secure請歌迷返回大樓外，隔著小馬路等候，不過當保母車在數分鐘後再駛回來時，仍有些歌迷在那邊等候。Leon下車，他身穿灰色Jacket，胸前綴有大藍色米字...(設計上接近在江門穿的2047)，配淺藍牛仔褲，黑皮鞋，眼上一幅Gucci太陽鏡。

今日Stanley沒有到場，Leon就由三名secure護衛走向禁區，而送機的歌迷又多，由於班機延遲至1:20pm，Leon也不急於登機，所以大家的前進速度很慢。今天Leon下車時的心情不錯，一下車就收歌迷不斷送上的信件和禮物，甚至沿途一些站得兩個人圍之外的歌迷遞出，Leon也盡量伸手去接。

Leon過了馬路到達機場大樓外，有歌迷問Leon:「神偷拍完未？」 Leon做個手勢送著說:「拍完喇！」Leon今天的說話雖然不多，卻是十分「嗲」，歌迷大致上問Leon睡得夠不夠，是否通宵工作，Leon先是點點頭，說:「係呀！」，後來嗲著說:「我做野...通宵冇訓呀！」歌迷們搶著問: 隻腳好番未呀、感冒好番未呀、辛唔辛苦呀......Leon都微微笑，輕輕聲回答....(好似答:未好)。跟著又有歌迷問: 「Leon，在江門做show有冇再俾雨淋親呀？」Leon望著歌迷柔柔地說:「冇呀。」

對答間歌迷都在送上東西，Leon也一直努力地接，後來有個歌迷送上一袋東西，Leon有點猶豫是否接下，歌迷說:「收啦！」，Leon就接過，打開看看裡面的東西 (可能是包裝好的)，Leon就問歌迷: 「咩來架？帶唔帶得上機架？」歌迷點頭，Leon再確定一次:「你肯定係帶得上機丫嘛？」歌迷:「得架！」Leon放心收下之後，就將手上其他歌迷的信和禮物放進，送這袋東西的歌迷大叫:「唔好放入去！」Leon望她一望，繼續放；歌迷投訴: 「袋野係我送o既，唔好放其他野入去，你唔認得我份野，撈亂哂！」Leon又望她一望，繼續行，旁邊有歌迷插口:「大個女喇，唔好咁野蠻先得架。」然後又有歌迷遞上紙袋讓Leon可以將所有東西袋下。

當大伙兒緩緩前進時，Leon右肩後有歌迷叫Leon開心些，Leon就停下來指著說:"我48小時冇訓，隻腳都差D行唔到......." Leon看到大家都停下來聆聽他的說話時，就向大伙兒說:「繼續向前行啦，乖啦！」大家當然又起步，不過這刻大家都沉靜了一點。到了禁區邊，歌迷都向Leon說bye-bye，Leon也一一回應然後才進禁區。.....(現在禁區的玻璃都貼上不透明紙，Leon進了禁區後沒法看到裡面情況了。)

(網主: Leon的確瘦了很多，不過仍算精神！)

增補版後註: 網主近日時間有限，所以雖然網主親歷其境，但原文對各項情節只是略寫，然而收到不少網友要求寫得詳盡些，因此只好隨網友意願而作增加。不過網主個人事務日繁，相信自此文之後，報告會寫得簡略。請見諒。

After many days of shooting "Skyline Cruisers", Leon flies once again to Korea to continue his other film "Dreams of Angel". Today being Sunday, many many fans made the journey. At around 12.05pm, the van stopped outside the airport terminal, to let Chi Chuen to check in. Some fans saw Leon with eyes closed resting and remained motionless even when Chi Chuen descended. When Leon finished checking in, some journalists there requested an interview with Leon so Chi Chuen made a phone call, then walked with the journalists to wait for Leon. The van returned at 12.25pm; Chi Chuen went in first and then came back again to direct four journalists to do the interview inside the van Two photographers were standing just standing nearby while the security kept an eye on the fans. Soon, another journalist came over so Chi Chuen asked her for ID, after inspection, she got inside the van too. The interview lasted around 15 minutes. The van door then opened to let some photographs to be taken. Leon then descended. He was wearing a grey jacket, with a design of a blue cross diagonal and across on the front (similar to the Union Jack Flag; or similar to 2047 he wore in Jiangmen), jeans, black shoes and Gucci sunglasses.

Stanley was not present today and Leon was accompanied by three security to the customs. With plenty of fans present and the flight was delayed until 1.20pm, Leon was in no hurry to depart, thus the walk was rather slow. Leon was in a pleasant mood today, receiving many gifts and letters from fans. Even when there were 2 fans who were a little away from Leon, he attempted to stretch his hand to get it. Just outside the airport building, a fan asked Leon " Are you finished filming Skyline Cruiser?" Leon moved his hand and then said "Finished!". Although Leon didn't speak much, nevertheless, he was very sweet. Some fans asked him did he sleep enough, was he working all night, Leon nodded and said "Yes", then followed " I was working all night... Didn't sleep!" Fans continued to ask did his leg healed, flu etc. ........ Leon smiled and gently replied .... not yet. Another fan asked Leon "Leon, did the rain made you ill in the Jiangmen concert?" Leon looked at her gently and said "Not at all!"

While chatting, fans continued to hand him gifts and Leon accepted them all. When one of the fan handed Leon a bag containing gifts, Leon hesitated a little and the fan said to Leon "Please accept it!" Leon took it in his hand, looked at what was inside (it was gift wrapped) and Leon asked the fan "What is it? Can I bring it on the plane?" The fan nodded and Leon asked again "You are sure I can bring on the plane?" The fan replied "Of Course!" Leon then put other fans' gift inside the same bag but that fan complained and said "Please don't put others in!" Leon looked at her and continued the action, she follows "Other gifts will get mixed up and you wont know which is mine!" Leon looked at her again and another fan said "Please be considerate!" Then fans handed Leon a paper carrier bag to put all other letters in. Fans on the right of Leon asked Leon to be more happy, Leon stopped and said "I didn't sleep for 48hours! My feet could hardly stand up!" Since all fans stopped to listen to Leon; then he looked at the fans and said "I know you are well behaved, please continue to walk!" Approaching departure area, fans said farewell to Leon and Leon replied.... (new non see through material were added to the glass surrounding the customs, thus cannot see anything once inside the customs) (webmaster: although Leon has lost a lot of weight, he seems very lively anyway!)

Amended version: Since webmaster will have limited time available, although webmaster was present at the scene, this was only a brief report. There were many requests from fans to have a more detailed report, thus the amended version. However, with limited, it is believed that after this report, the near future reports would be brief also. Sorry for the inconvenience.

2000年10月22日  Leon Live Chat

Leon於下午回港後，晚上又匆匆出席LeonStarEastnet.com在尖沙咀Planet Hollywood為網頁舉行的Live Chat，在世界各地網民及fans透過屏幕見面和傾談。

活動定於晚上10pm舉行，由於是下大雨的星期天，尖沙咀交通特別擠塞，所以保母車塞在路上，有些在場等候的fans看到了也跑了過去和Leon手揮手，站在Planet Hollywood門外的Stanley只好叫守在入口的fans不要亂跑，還好大部份歌迷都保持安靜。保母車終於來到，Stanley和數名secure到車門外迎接，子泉先下車張開雨傘，然後Leon踏出。經過歌迷時，Leon面上無什麼表情，似乎很累，不過仍一馬當先踏上樓梯，到了上層餐廳入口時，旁邊賣衣服的sales和Leon打招呼，Leon也親切的回應。Leon進入餐廳時是10:05pm。

Leon一進場，久違了的記者立刻圍住Leon猛影，什至企在梯上或椅上拍照，久久未停，直至大會安排妥當，要正式開始chatroom時，司儀張錦程立刻呼籲記者們先散開，而secure也幫忙維持秩序，chatroom就開始了。....(chatroom情況請到LeonStareastnet.com觀看)

當chatroom在10:55pm完畢後，Leon退到房內接受文字記者的訪問，然後再走出來，坐在沙發上，接受各電子傳媒訪問，面前的桌上放滿了電子傳媒的咪高峰。這個訪問大概超過十五分鐘。接受過訪問後，Leon再走進房內，為LeonStarEastnet.com做兩段訪問，同時外面的記者開始離開。

Leon做完一切訪問後，右手本來擁著設計師下樓，見到站在街上的歌迷，面容稍寬，右手向歌迷揚一揚，眼睛由右掃向左，忽然望著歌迷做一個嘆氣的表情........(網主: 只是兩秒間之事Leon已透露出內心不盡的無奈)。走到樓下，和設計師再道別之後，Leon就由secure們護衛著上保母車離開。

22.10.00 Leon Live Chat

Just returned to HK this afternoon, Leon hurriedly went to Tsimshatsui's Planet Hollywood to take part in the Live Chat in Leonstareastnet.com, where he can talk to fans from all over the world through the Internet.

This was scheduled for 10.00pm.

Chi Chuen first descended and holding an umbrella to shelter the descending Leon. When passing the fans, Leon didn't have any facial expression, he seems a little tired, but still managed to speedily crossed the road! Entering the restaurant at the upper level, some sales assistants at the fashion counter greeted Leon and Leon warmly replied! When he entered the restaurant was 10.05pm.

Once Leon entered. the journalists there all rushed to take photographs of him. Some even stood on their own ladders etc. in order to get a better position. The photographs were non stop until the chatroom time began! MC Cheung Kam Ching asked the media to spread out and the security was needed to keep order. Finally, the chatroom begin.....

(webmaster: In the space of 2 secs, Leon expressed his disappointment). After bidding farewell with the designer, Leon departed under heavy security.

2000年10月19-22日  江門演唱會

2000.10.19:

Leon今天乘坐1:30pm的珠江客輪到江門準備個人演唱會，部份歌迷收到消息早已聚在尖沙咀中港城離境碼頭等候，亦有廿多名歌迷同船，由於離境大堂的入口不少，所以歌迷站得比較分散。

Leon於1:05pm在Stanley、子泉及三名secure的陪同下來到離境大堂，Leon身穿白色Tee，外加深藍色"抓毛"拉鍊開胸Jacket，黑皮鞋，架著Gucci太陽鏡，來到大堂時，站得較接近的歌迷都乖乖的沒有大叫，Leon也友善的向歌迷點點頭打招呼，並收下一名歌迷送上的喉糖。走近出境閘口時，歌迷聚得較擠，Leon、Stanley、子泉和三名Secure很快進入，而一些同船的歌迷也爭相進入，因此都擠在一起，後來有歌迷發現髮型師Sev和阿B在歌迷堆之後，就先讓他們進入，結果看到阿B拉著一個大紅旅行箱步進海關。

過了海關，歌迷跟著Leon向前行，手上拿著小水樽的Leon一面行一面挨著Stanley說笑，途中Leon還停下來看看顯示登船閘的電視，大家先前為等Leon都沒有留意入閘號碼，以為Leon知道入閘口在哪，怎知道他一直行至最盡頭12號閘附近找個位置坐下....喔！Stanley走到部份年輕歌迷前面要求她們退開一點，結果她們加上大部份歌迷都自行走開，查知入閘口是7號時就先到閘口等候，而幾名早已坐下的年長歌迷則沒有離開。Leon在等候登船時吃藥和藥水，似乎是病了，不過除了外型比先前瘦了一點，外貌則一點也看不出。

)20，Leon亦在Stae y及各人圍護下進入船艙並走進上層VIP房，歌迷則在下層。海程2小時30分後，輪船泊向碼頭，乘客及歌迷紛紛在艙口等候登岸，阿B也由VIP房托下那個大紅箱，忽然......咦....艙門外已站了一群人，是Leon啊！原來Leon和眾人由上層駕駛室外沿梯而下，一泊岸Leon第一個跳上，並且向上奔，子泉和Stanley等人緊隨其後。上了斜路再轉一彎來到入境處，Leon很自然的走進沒有人排隊的一欄，卻原來那是給"持護照旅客"的通道，因此他要再轉到小偉正在排隊的一欄，小偉讓他先過了海關，在海關外迎接的天恩立刻引路讓Leon登上專車----車牌J388的黑色平治房車。

當Leon那一群人員都齊合之後，專車將Leon直接載到接待酒店「銀晶酒店」，由停車場乘升降機直上25樓的住房。其後Leon換上髮型師那件2047英國國旗jacket，在6pm轉到酒店8樓會議室為演唱會召開記者會。記者會中Leon向記者表白: "是要將香港的、東洋的，音響、燈光、舞蹈、製作，帶來江門。" 記者會主持人更說這個演唱會是江門97年以來最大型演唱會！

由於這個演唱會的製作非常龐大，所以樂隊和韓國舞團在早上已先坐船到江門，下午一直冒雨綵排至晚飯時間。本來Leon計劃在晚上親身綵排，可是雨下得實在太大，綵排也取消了。

2000.10.20:

今天是星期五，中午以後來了一批香港歌迷，廣東省內各地歌迷都陸續到來，此外更有台灣和日本歌迷到達！可是雨仍是那麼大！

樂隊及舞團在2:15pm由酒店出發到江門體育場先綵排音樂和舞蹈，Leon坐的專車由另一房車開路下來到會場，在此等候的香港及內地歌迷不少，但因大雨而避在有蓋地點，而車道入口只有四個香港歌迷冒雨等候，Leon的車來到門前停下等候員工開閘，Leon向車旁歌迷揚一揚手，在其他歌迷未跑上之前已經將車窗布帘拉密，穿著深色外套藍色牛仔褲、黑皮鞋的Leon在大雨之下綵排了「一秒鐘兩個世界」、「全日愛」、「酸」、「有空請愛我」、「眼睛想旅行」.....等等，一時唱著又停下來和樂隊總監鄧健明商量一下，由於雨下個不停，因此Leon沒有走出有蓋頂部份綵排，綵排「Prima Donna」時，Leon和兩名女舞蹈員走到舞台後部又唱又跳，不過那時台後的黑布幕仍未拉上，可能大雨紛紛吹進，Leon背上Jacket沾了雨水，一下來子泉、阿B就立刻拿著白布為Leon抹乾。

直至4:55pm綵排完畢，工作人員將木桌搬到台上，擺上祭品、燃點香燭後，Leon換上一件綠色迷彩外套進行拜神儀式，拿著香燭向四方拜拜。其後在5:25pm坐專車回到酒店。

Leon是貴人出門招風雨，兩天大雨不停，香港及外地歌迷都紛紛到附近百貨公司購買整套雨裝加水靴，買至斷貨！

觀眾在8時開始進場，這個球場容納16000名觀眾，舞台是山字形狀，與香港演唱會同出一轍，雨下得更大，還好觀眾非常有公德，在音樂響起之後自動將雨傘收起，沒有阻礙其他觀眾視線。

由於天雨關係，音樂會延後至9pm才開始。一切安排和衣著與香港演唱會相偌，只是曲目安排稍有變動，以「一秒鐘兩個世界」取代「非我莫屬」、「全日愛」取代「That's Life」，衣服方面是「眼睛想旅行」那套鴨綠外套內配上今年流行的閃金背心，Leon唱「Prima Donna」時將外套脫下，顯現一身肌肉。Leon唱快歌時都走到三個台端，而左右冶邊本來有鐵欄將觀眾隔開一段距離，但是熱情的男歌迷都跳上鐵欄，Leon亦熱情的和他們握手！

Leon看著觀眾冒雨欣賞演唱會，他說很感動，Leon說: "綵排時希望唔好落雨，就算要落雨都希望大家安全！" 其後又有說到:"你地真係冇擔摭 (拿雨傘)喎，我好感動呀！"、"聽講D雨衣雨靴好好賣喎！嘻嘻！"

大雨除了防礙觀眾欣賞外，亦損害音響，影響演出。無當Leon拿著咪高峰向在左中右突出的舞台時，咪高峰會發出被雨水啪打的聲音，而明顯的當Leon走出舞台尖端時，極難聽清楚音樂，令致Leon在唱慢歌時表現較為失色........(網主: 莫怪我直言，個人認為Leon沒有把歌詞背得滾瓜爛熟也是丁點原因！)，唱「大綱與細節」的時候，幾次咪高峰沒有傳聲，Leon自覺效果不好，叫樂隊為他再奏一次，由頭再唱一次之下效果還是未能滿意，其後唱「我這樣愛你」時又叫停，不過再來一次仍未能唱下去，因此Leon匆匆的說「再見」轉入後台........(網主個人覺得，Leon因為不滿意表現而令他情緒激動，當再上舞台時，一個紅鼻子暗示他在後台哭起來~~聲明這只是網主的感覺，無法問出究竟的。)

Leon換了衣服再出台前時，唱到Happy2000時請觀眾為排舞者及樂隊歡呼致謝，然後又對將要離場的觀眾說:"因住跣親，唔好心急！保重身體！" Leon再三走到各個台端向各位觀眾致謝時，歌迷紛紛爬上鐵欄和Leon握手，也有歌迷送上花束，那些花束一送到Leon手上，花蕊立刻散開垂下，情況很惹笑....畢竟已受了整晚的風吹雨打，更顯得內地歌迷的誠意和熱情，而觀眾看到都在哈哈大笑！

演唱會在11時多結束後，Leon坐專車回酒店，由後門停車場"出口"進入，然後坐升降機回房間。

江門電視台翌日對這次演唱會的報導如下 :

昨天天公不做美，一直下著絲絲細雨，而臨近開場時份更是大雨滂沱，但是絲毫沒有減市民一睹明星丰采的熱情，市民從四面八方湧向體育場，而大雨使原定在八時開始的演唱會在八時四十五分才拉開序幕。

當黎明一身黑衣黑帽現身舞台時，全場一萬五千的觀眾還是馬上發出一片歡呼。在雨中黎明勁歌熱舞，表演非常賣力，在兩個多小時裡他演唱了一夜傾情、今生不再等二十九首"中英文歌曲"，雖然船上汗水與雨水交織，身上濕漉漉的，但他的敬業的精神還是讓觀眾感到滿意，而觀眾也一直堅持在大雨中欣賞，雖然許多人已經濕透了，還是與黎明一起和唱！.......(這個報導除了一些資料有問題，整體非常真實和正面！)

2000.10.21:

今天是星期六，所有要來看演唱會的歌迷都已齊集，銀晶酒店二百多個房間早就爆滿，很多國內歌迷訂了房也不能安排。由香港來的歌迷固然很多，不過竟有一批為數百多二百個來自中山的歌迷，令人為之側目！可能是上天體諒各位遠道而來的歌迷，因此今天的天氣雖然不算很好，但是日間雨勢明顯減弱了很多。

今天樂隊和舞團在2pm到場綵排，不過Leon沒有出現......(網主: 可能在房間內勤背歌詞呢^~^)，而工作人員似乎要花很多心思去改善音響問題。

晚上七時多，觀眾如貫入場，由於仍有毛毛細雨，所以大部份人仍是拿著雨傘或穿著雨衣雨靴入場。經過早一晚的腳踏和雨打，草地早已變成一個大沼澤，有年青人在踏進場地前向友人大叫:"諗清楚呀！一踩入去，對鞋就冇o架喇！"，不過大家當然抵不住Leon的魅力而勇往直前啦！

天雨關係觀眾進場緩慢，早已進場的香港歌迷就亮起大紅棒，惹得在場觀眾側目。演唱會約在8:45pm開始，由於第一晚有不少觀眾霸佔別人坐位，因此大會播出敬謝贊助商時，不忘提醒觀眾:"按座號入座、不得霸佔別人座位！" 而天公造美，開場前停了雨！

Leon一出場，觀眾立刻起哄，這晚的編排和第一晚大致相同。這晚的觀眾情緒更高，Leon的表現更放更好得多，雖然咪高峰仍間中出現問題，但是Leon本身的表現很完美.....(網主: 曾經咪高峰停播一句，但是明顯的Leon有在唱，只是聲音沒有被播出！)

可能是Leon患感冒未痊癒，因此今晚在唱"眼睛想旅行"之後，並沒有將jacket脫下，不過今晚Leon卻顯出活力萬分，而不畏泥濘跟著音樂狂跳的歌迷看在Leon眼中，使他更不斷對歌迷深情凝望及擺出不同誘人的姿勢呢！ Leon的一舉一動又激起觀眾情緒高漲！

今晚Leon雖然有走到左右台端，但是沒有和爬上鐵欄的觀眾握手....相信是為著觀眾的安全問題啦！不過觀眾送來的花束，Leon依然樂意收下。

Leon最後向觀眾致謝，說: 呢個演唱會係你地俾我o既....至於好定唔好 .....(造一個手勢)，你地自己覺得啦！ 台下觀眾立刻大叫: 好！！！最後在唱Happy2000時再次肯定 : 會在2000年內到廣州唱這首歌！當Leon唱完這首歌轉入後台，音樂仍未停下時，Leon已坐專車離開會場駛回酒店了！

聽說: 本來酒店二樓設有六圍酒蓆作為慶功宴，但是聚在那處的歌迷實在太多，在Stanley巡查場地之後，決定取消了.....(網主: 不知是否改到六樓的銀晶殿呢？)

2000.10.22:

Leon在9am離開酒店，到了演唱會贊助商及"豪爵鑽豹"廣告商的 "大長江集團" 總部拜訪，然後與集團高層午宴，下午2:30pm乘坐珠江輪船返回香港。

同船回港的香港歌迷非常多，Leon在差不多開船時才到達，在Stanley及Secure的包圍下經過歌迷走進VIP房，整個海程沒有出房。當船泊岸時，坐在上層的歌迷都被secure攔住，而Leon又重施故技由船長室外沿梯而下，第一個登岸，直至過海關時才有歌迷追上。Leon的穿著與19日到江門時一樣，過了海關，Leon由secure保護，轉出禁區，而在禁區外等候接船的歌迷則歡呼不絕，Leon雖然很累仍有微微點頭，更收下一位歌迷送上的相簿。接著走上平台坐墨綠保母車離去，歌迷則跑到平台下出口等候，Leon看到歌迷就揮手拜拜，保母車才絕塵而去。

(網主 : 4天資料太多，急忙間如有錯漏，會盡快修改，請多多包容。)

19-22 Oct Jiangmen Concert

19.10.00

Leon will travel to Jiangmen today in preparation of his upcoming concert. Since he will be travelling on the ferry which departs at 1.30pm, many fans has already gathered at Timshatsui's ferry port in hope of a glance of Leon. 20 or so fans will travel with Leon and because there were many passengers at the ferry port, the fans were scattered around. At 1.05pm, Leon arrived at the departure lounge with Stanley, Chi Chuen and three other securities. Leon was wearing a white tee, navy fleece jacket, black shoes and Gucci sunglasses. At the lobby, fans who were close enough to Leon called out for him (in their best behaviour!) and Leon warmly nodded in reply. One of the fan handed him some throat lozenge and Leon gladly accepted. Towards the departure area, fans all gathered together while Leon and Co. went forward hurriedly. Those fans who were also travelling followed suit. Some fans saw that Sev and Ah Bee were behind the fans and they moved aside so that they can get pass. Thus, Ah Bee carried a big red suitcase into departure.

Passed the immigration, fans followed Leon. Leon with a water bottle in hand, chatted with Stanley as they walked and on the way, Leon halted to looked at the departure schedule of the ferries. Because everyone was busy waiting for Leon and didn't look out for the departure gate, thus assuming Leon knew which was the gate. However, Leon continued to walk forward and then stopped, took a seat at around gate 12! Stanley went over to those younger fans requesting them not to walk too close, thus majority of the fans retreated. After consulting that the departure gate were Gate 7, they went forward to wait there. However, those older fans who took a seat also didn't follow. While waiting for the ferry, Leon had to take some medications. It seems that Leon was a little ill, but apart from a little weight loss, it was not noticeable.

Fans slowly ascended the ferry, while Leon with the escort of Stanley went into the VIP room at the upper level, where majority of the fans remained at the lower level. The whole journey took 2.5 hours. As the ferry came to port, fans and passengers got ready to descend. Ah Bee can be seen stepping out of the VIP room with his suitcases, and suddenly...... there were already a crowd outside the door! It was Leon! Leon with others had walked from the upper level, through the control room, down the ladders on the outside and were waiting to land already! As soon as the ferry ported, Leon were first to descend and walked quickly forward, with Chi Chuen and Stanley followed. Up the slope were the immigration desk and Leon naturally queued at the empty lane, but that was the passage for "Special Passports" so Leon changed lane and queued with Siu Wai, whom let Leon passed first. Tin Yan was waiting at the arrival hall for Leon and escorted Leon to the awaiting vehicle- a black Benz with reg. no J388.

The car bought Leon to the Celeste Palace Hotel; immediately got in the elevator from the car park to his hotel room on the 25th floor. Leon changed into a England Union Jack tee and went to the 8th floor of the hotel for the press conference. In the press conference, Leon told the media that he wanted to bring all the technology, lightning, sound, dance and production from HK, Japan to Jiangmen for his concert! The host said that this is the largest concert production in Jiangmen 97 year history! For such a large scale production, all the band, crew and dancers had arrived in Jiangmen earlier, and were rehearsing in the rain since the afternoon. Leon were scheduled to rehearsal at the evening, but the rain were too heavy and the rehearsal were cancelled.

20.10.00

Today is Friday and many HK fans had arrived in the afternoon, and fans from other regions of China also arrived, including some fans from Taiwan and Japan! But the rain continued to fall heavily! The band and dancers left the hotel at 2.15pm for rehearsal while Leon travelled in a different car to the sports hall. There were many fans waiting but since the rain were too heavy, many fans had to find shelter and only four fans saw Leon's car entering sports hall. Leon's car had to wait for the ground staff to open the gate and in the meantime, Leon waved to those fans and Leon had already pulled the curtains before other fans running towards him. Wearing navy jeans, black shoes, Leon were rehearsed in the rain, songs "One Sec Two World" "All Day Love" "Sour" "Love Me if U are Free" "Eyes Want to Travel"... etc. He then stopped and talked with music director Joey Tang. Since it rained non stop, Leon didn't rehearsed the part where he had to stand out of shelter. While singing "Prima Donna", Leon were dancing and singing with two dancers.There were a black curtain over the giant screen (to prevent rain) but Leon still got many raindrops on the back of his jacket. Once finished, Chi Chuen and Ah Bee got a towel to help Leon to dry off. At 4.55pm, the rehearsal finished and the crew there got ready for the blessing ceremony. Leon changed to a green jacket with incense in his hands, he began the blessing ceremony. At 5.25pm, he returned to the hotel. The rain continued non stop, so fans had to go to department stores to hunt for raincoats and wellies, until all stores were sold out!

The audience began to arrived at the sports hall at 8.00pm. With capacity of 16,000, the stage resemble the Chinese character for "Mountain", similar to that of HK. Rain continued to fall and the audience were very well behaved in that when the concert commenced, all umbrellas were closed and the audience's view were not blocked. The concert were delayed until 9.00pm because of the rain. The rundown were similar to that of HK, only difference being "One Sec Two World" were sung instead of "No One but Me" and "All Day Love" instead of "That's Life". Clothing were similar also but singing "The Eyes wants to Travel", Leon was wearing a gold colour tank top (very trendy at the moment!) inside his green jacket and while singing "Prima Donna", he took off his jacket, showing off his muscles! When singing the fast songs, Leon ran to and fro on the stage; there were some barriers on the right of the stage but some excited male fans hopped on to the railings to shake hands with Leon! Since the audience had to watch the entire concert in rain, Leon was very moved by their gesture and said "When I was rehearsing, I was hoping that the rain would stop, and even if it didn't, I want to make sure all is safe!" Leon then continued "You really didn't use your umbrellas! I am so touched! I heard that the sales of rain gear has increased dramatically, Ha Ha !" Not only did the rain disturb the viewing of the audience, it also affected the sound effects. When Leon were at certain part of the stage, the sound of rainfall can heard from the microphones. Also, when Leon were at the tip of the stage, it cannot be heard properly.It affected Leon's performance some what. (webmaster: Personal feeling was that Leon may not have remembered the lyrics was one of the cause) When singing "Outline & Details" Leon felt he didn't perform well and asked the band to replay the music so that he can sing it again and the same happened with "I love you this much" Although it was re sang, it was still not to up Leon's usual high standard. Leon hurriedly said farewell and walked backstage ........ (Webmaster's personal opinion, Leon was unhappy with his performance, which made him very emotional and a red nose may indicated that he was nearly in tears backstage...... but this is only the feeling of the webmaster, cannot be justified). After changing, Leon went back on stage and stood at the front of the stage, and was thanking the crowd, dancers, bands as he sang "Happy 2000", and reminding those audience that were about to leave "Be careful of the slippery floors, slow down and take care!". He then proceeded to different parts of the stage to thank the crowd and soon fans ran forward in order to shake hands with Leon. Some handed him flowers but those flowers were a little "floppy" in Leon's hands! It was quite humorous, but afterall, the flowers were with standing rain and wind all night! It showed that the warmness of the inland fans and how much they appreciate Leon!

The Concert ended at 11.00pm, with Leon departed in his arranged transport. His car entered the carpark from the back door and Leon took the elevator straight to his hotel room.

This was the report from the Jiangmen Television of the concert:

Although the weather was not pleasant, with persistent rain, getting heavier towards the evening, but this did not deter the people's hunger to see the superstar! People arrived from all corners towards the sports hall and the rain delayed the beginning of the concert from 8.00pm to 8.45pm. When Leon, all in black, came on to the stage; the audience, all of 15000 gave a loud cheer! Leon sang and danced in the rain, and his performance was unbeatable. During the two hour concert, he sang 29 Cantonese, mandarin and English songs including songs such as "Never Ever" etc. Although Leon was soaked from rain and sweat, he professionalism was felt by everyone. The rain didn't deter the audience's moods and although everyone is wet through, they even sang together with Leon....... (although there is some error in information, the report itself was very positive)

21.10.00

Being Saturday, all fans had already arrived early for tonight's concert, with the Celeste Palace Hotel (200 rooms) was all but full. Many fans (China) tried to book in but unsuccessful. Although there were a lot of fans from HK, but the a group of 100 or so fans from ZhongShan was very eye catching! Maybe the Gods knew that fans were arrived from everywhere, and although the weather wasn't great, the rain has depleted somewhat. The band and dancers began rehearsing at 2.00pm but with no sign of Leon ...... (webmaster: Maybe busy memorising the lyric? ^_^) The technical crew there attempted to improve the sound quality. From 7.00pm, people began to enter the sports hall. Since there were still some rain, majority of the crowd had umbrellas or raincoats with them. After the previous night's ordeal, the grass pitch now resembles a big mud pit. As they were about to walk onto the mud some warned "Once walked in, the shoes are gone!" but Leon's attraction was too much and all bravely walked forward! The audience were slow to enter the sports hall and the HK fans there already had turned on their big red rods, it was an awesome sight! Since there were some confusions over seating (some fans occupied other people's seats), announcements were made over the intercom saying "Please be seated at the appropriate seats, Other seats are already occupied" As the beginning approached, the rain stopped!

There was a loud cheer as Leon went on stage and the run down was the same as yesterday except "Never Ever" was not sang. Tonight the audience was ecstatic and Leon's performances improved a great deal! Although there was still some problem with the microphone, but Leon's performance was perfect!...... (webmaster: There was a pause in the one of the songs, but evidently Leon was singing, just no sound from the microphone!) Maybe because didn't fully recovered from flu. while singing "The Eyes want to travel", he didn't take off his jacket! Leon was definitely more energetic! Although in the mud, the audience moved with the music and kept staring at Leon! Thus, Leon, with his attractive tempting eyes stared at the fans! Every movement of Leon made the fans more and more excited! Leon did go to the two sides of the stage but for safety reasons, he didn't went down to shake hands with the crowd at the barriers. Nevertheless, Leon accepted flowers given to him! Finally, Leon thanked the crowd once again and said "You have given me this concert, but whether good or not ... (gestured), you decide for your self!" The audience immediately screamed "Good!" He then sang Happy 2000 and promised that he will sing this song again in Guangdong in year 2000. After the song, Leon returned back stage and before the music stopped, he had already got into the car to return to the hotel. It is believed that there were a post concert party organised on the 2nd floor of the hotel but since there were too many fans staying in the hotel, after inspection by Stanley, it was cancelled..... (webmaster: Maybe changed venue on the 6th floor?)

22.10.00

Leon vacated the hotel at 9.00am, and went to visit the HQ of one of the concert sponsors. He then have lunch with the CEO and took the 2.30pm ferry back to HK. On the same ferry, HK fans were the majority and Leon only arrived when the ferry was about to leave. Escorted by Stanley and Co., Leon walked through the crowd of fans to the VIP room. For the whole journey, Leon didn't leave the room. When the ferry arrived at HK, those fans at the upper level were held back by the security team and Leon once again walked through the control room and descended from the outer stairs. The first one to descend and only caught up by the fans when passed the customs. Leon was wearing the same clothes on the 19th and once passed the customs, he was accompanied by security to the arrival hall. Many fans were already waiting on the other side. Leon was a little tired but still nodded to them. He accepted a photo album given to him and went to the upper level to his green van. Fans waited at the exit and Leon waved goodbye to fans before the van departed

2000年10月2日  新城「唱好音樂會」

Sony眾歌手為新城開的唱好音樂會終於來臨。今午5:40pm Leon就由阿B駕著保母車送抵灣仔會展中心新翼，經過停車場門外時，看到正在等候的幾個fans，穿著黑衣戴著太陽鏡的Leon在車內主動向歌迷揮手，心情很好 ~~ 受寵若驚的歌迷心情當然極度興奮啦！約6:25pm，Leon綵排完畢乘保母車離去時，也向歌迷揮揮手。

開場前，王凱文在VIP區不斷招呼嘉賓，黎明爸爸也帶同朋友前來觀看。Sony亞洲區總裁Richard和太太坐中區第一排第二、三位，陳善之則陪同呂頌賢坐在第四、五位。

由於是壓軸嘉賓，Leon在9:35pm才乘保母車到達，在10:05pm，當「越夜越有機」的音樂響起，雖然沒有司儀介紹，在場觀眾反應已非常熱烈，在幾位舞蹈員的襯托下，Leon出場了！全場哄動！Leon上衣是紅身淺褐色袖，配同樣淺褐色長褲，絕對是今年秋冬懷舊look。

台前中央兩區是VIP區，台左(以觀眾角度看)前區是公開賣票，多聚集了Leon fans，台右前區是預留票，相信是給了贊助商或其他歌星的歌迷，而中央後區亦是公開賣票，更是Leon fans大軍聚集之處，Leon唱「越夜越有機」時沒有什麼走動，大概都在中央位置，唱完後Leon大概說: 我呢輪成日由左飛右、由右飛左，好耐冇正式o係香港做(演唱會形式)表演，上次冇訓過，今次好D訓左一日.......送俾大家「及時擁抱」。Leon走到台左對著歌迷唱了大半首歌，歌迷搖大紅棒的場面令嘉賓們側目，然後Leon又走到台右對著觀眾唱，雖然這區前部不是明顯的fans區，不過觀眾都很投入，很多人在搖碧綠螢光棒，而遠處的歌迷就搖得更厲害了！

Leon接著唱出國語歌「記憶的花園」，也是在台的兩邊走動，台側兩個大螢幕都播放了「樂百氏」單車片段那個MTV，然後再加入四名女和音和Leon一起唱出"Can't Take My Eys Off U"，Leon大部份時間留在台中央，除了和台下歌迷揮手或以眼神作招呼外，還看見了坐在前排的Joe和呂頌賢，Leon很開心的和呂頌賢打招呼，也自然的走近台的邊緣。Leon也很搞笑，當唱至"你的名字叫美麗 ~"時眼望Joe，而Joe則輕撥頭髮點點頭，完全收下！台上的Leon笑得更開心了！

唱完四首歌，音樂仍未奏罷，Leon就說結語多謝新城、樂手、和音等等，然後和觀眾bye-bye轉回後台。

約10:45pm，保母車駛向停車場出口，可是罕見地沒有Stanley和Stanley Team Secure，本來在停車場外排開陣勢的fans都感到奇怪，一些歌迷就笑說: 「Stanley唔o係度，我地同佢死過！哈哈！」再看清楚，保母車還未到出口更亭，Leon已將車內的燈亮著了，歌迷立刻心領神會，像一班"速龍"似的越走越近，幾乎貼著保母車。Leon很開心的和車前歌迷揮手打招呼，然後又回應車窗旁的歌迷，歌迷更將信件由車窗伸入，子泉可能怕會引起混亂，伸手將燈關掉，不過Leon立刻又再開燈，這時保母車仍慢得未能真正駛離出口，會展中心數名保安人員走過來幫忙叫開歌迷，讓保母車轉出，轉正位置後阿B就可以隨時加速，子泉又將燈關掉，不過Leon仍很興奮，再將燈亮起，歌迷則圍著整架車，平日「最前線fans」則在車前倒後慢步，阿B看著歌迷就在笑。

這樣駛了一分鐘也行不夠二十呎，在Leon身旁的子泉又將燈關掉，這刻歌迷都感到保母車要加速了，就向前跑，不過忽然有一個歌迷用手拍車說她的朋友要把東西交給Leon，Leon知道後，又叫阿B停下車，再亮起車燈並打開窗將一些東西收下之後，保母車才開始慢駛，不過Leon沒有將燈關掉，因此守在車前的「最前線fans」就手拉手的倒後慢行，在這樣拖拖拉拉笑笑叫叫的情況下，歌迷護送保母車駛離會展新翼停車場範圍，Leon才將燈真的關掉，阿B就連衝兩個紅燈將Leon送走了。

02.10.2000 Hit Radio Concert

The concert for Hit Radio with Sony Artists as the performers finally arrives today. At 5.40pm, with Ah Bee driving, Leon arrived at Wan Chai's Convention Centre New Wing for rehearsals. When the van passes through the car park, there were a couple of fans waiting there; when Leon saw them (wearing black clothes and sunglasses) he waved to them and the fans were shocked with Leon's eagerness! At around 6.25pm, Leon finished rehearsals and temporarily departed and still not forgetting to wave to those fans outside!

Just before the show began, Sony's Alvin Wang was greeting guests at the VIP area, with Leon's father and a couple of friends was there also. Sony's Pan Asian Region CEO Richard and his wife occupied the first two seat of row one, while Joe Chan and another guest Mr. Lui occupied seat four and five. Since Leon is the final performer, Leon promptly arrived at 9.35pm. At 10.05pm, when the music for "More Opportunity at night" was been played, although the MC did not yet introduce Leon on stage, the audience were already all excited. With a couple of dancers, Leon finally gets on stage! There were uproar in the stadium!!! Leon was wearing a light red shirt, matching colour trousers, it is a must for this year's oldie looks!!

The two central area directly in front of the stage were the VIP area, the left of the stage (from the audience's view) were the tickets area, with plenty of Leon fans, right of the stage were reserved areas, mainly for the sponsors and fans of the other artists. The back of the centre stage were also the tickets area with the mass of the Leon fans there. When Leon was singing the first song, he didn't have much movement, mainly standing at the centre stage, and when he finished singing, he began talking about his many travels recently, it was since a long time that he participated in these types of concert in HK. He mentioned that he didn't sleep last time but this time he slept one whole day... then introducing his next song "In time to Hug" Leon walked to the left singing part of the song there. With fans waving the big red rod, the sight was so awesome that all the VIPs turned to watch in awe. Leon then went to the right of the stage and sang the reminder there and although that area didn't have much Leon fans, but the audience there were very involved and waved their green luminous rods. By this stage, those other Leon fans were waving their rods madly!

Leon then sang his mandarin song "Memory Garden" and was walking to and fro on the stage. The two big screens at either side of the stage shown the Robust Spring Water Commercial MTV for that song. Then, four chorus girls joined Leon and began to sing the final song "Cant Take my Eyes off U" . For the majority of the song, Leon stood at the centre stage, occasionally waving and looking at those fans. When he spotted Joe and Mr. Lui, Leon happily greeted him and naturally walked a little towards them. Leon was in extreme good humour as he sang the lyric " Your Name is beauty....", he looked at Joe and Joe flicked his hair and nodded in acknowledgement! Leon on stage were smiling happily!

After the four songs, the music was still playing while Leon saying the closing speech thanking Hit Radio, the band, chorus etc. etc. and then waved goodnight to the audience before going back stage.

At 10.45pm, Leon's van drove out of the car park, and shockingly, Stanley and his security team were not there! Those fans outside the car park was bewildered also and some fans joked "Since Stanley is not here.. We Can.. he he!!" Looking again, the van not yet reached exit and stopped again. Leon already turned the lights on inside and the fans knew his meaning and walked closer and closer to the van. Leon waved and greeted the vans and accepted letters from the van window. Chi Chuen was a little worried about the crowd and switched off the lights but Leon turned it on again! The van was still driving very slow and not yet out of the exit completely. The security at the convention centre urged the fans to leave so that the van can exit. At the turn, Ah Bee was about to increase speed, Chi Chuen once again turned off the lights but Leon was very excited and turned on the lights once more! Fans were surrounding the van and the usual "Front Line Fans" were at the side of the van walking slowing and sometimes backward! Ah Bee was very amused by their action!

This took around 1 minute and the van had not yet moved 20 feet, and Chi Chuen who was beside Leon once again turned off the lights and the fans knew that the van will jet off any minute, so began to run. But one of the van knocked on the van window wanting to hand Leon her friend's letter. Leon saw that and asked Ah Bee to stop the van and turned on the lights, unwind the window to accept the letter, then the van drove again. However, Leon didn't turned the lights off, thus those front line fans held fans and walked very slowly. Under this cheerful situation, fans escorted Leon's van out of the car park area and only then Leon turned off his lights. Ah Bee then went pass two red lights and the van finally departed.

2000年10月1日  Leon回港

Leon今日乘坐國泰航機由漢城飛返香港，航機在6pm著陸，Leon很快就和阿B走出機艙到了行李輸送帶等候，Leon身穿白色Tee加一件長袖深藍"抓毛"外套，胸前拉鍊兩旁有幾條紅條子作點綴，配一條深色燈芯絨長褲.....(好冷嗎？可是阿B穿短袖襯衣喎！) 這時遇到熟識的機場人員，就趁空檔跟對方閒聊一會，不久另有兩名其他航空公司人員到來問Leon拿簽名，Leon雖然立刻將太陽鏡戴上，但也也爽快地答應。

當阿B講完電話後，立刻對Leon說:「你出去先啦！」然後向B閘為Leon指路。Leon就背著他那個Prada背囊走出禁區了。今天是公眾假期，本來要來接機的歌迷會很多，不過臨時傳出韓國歌迷在網頁上說到Leon為拍攝「天士夢」，不能如期登機，要明天(2/10) 才回香港，結果令歌迷卻步，但是來到機場的歌迷也近百。

Leon出現在玻璃門內，歌迷已經高興得大叫，Leon在禁區欄杆內閃身而出之前，也點頭回應歌迷，而Stanley和兩名secure很快就將Leon包圍，一群歌迷首先向Leon遞上東西，其後幾名歌迷分別向Leon遞信，Leon也一一接下。歌迷向Leon說:「今日是奧運閉幕，你有冇睇呀？」Leon:「我去左做野，點睇呀？」歌迷:「咁有冇錄丫？」Leon搖搖頭，歌迷:「今晚有煙花睇呀！」歌迷都說:「記得睇煙花呀！」Leon聽著沒有出聲。

上了自動行人電梯後，Stanley叫前面一群歌迷快些向上行，怎知歌迷沒有理會，更加互相訕笑。Leon到了上層，和留在上層的fans點頭招呼後，就加快速度上車，Leon走入車廂就向車外歌迷揮一揮手，然後叫子泉立刻開車，子泉以第一時間開車，卻仍未關上車門就開車，險象環生。過了六、七分鐘，阿B推著兩廂行李走出候機大堂，歌迷又圍著他閒聊，又過了幾分鐘，Leon又坐保車來接阿B，放好行李後，Leon再向圍在車旁的歌迷打招呼後離去。

01.10.2000 Leon Returns to HK

Today Leon flew back to HK on the Cathay Pacific flight from Seoul and the flight landed at 6.00pm. Very soon, Leon and Ah Bee were waiting for the luggage at the luggage conveyor belt. Leon was wearing a white tee, blue fleece jacket (with 2 red lace at the chest) , dark orange cotton trousers ( cold? But Ah Bee was wearing short sleeves!!) When he met some airport staff that he knew , he even have time to chat a little, but when two other airline staff went up to Leon for autograph, Leon put on his sunglasses and agreed to sign for them.

When Ah Bee finished his phone call, he said Leon "You go out first!" and then showed Leon where the Gate B exit. Leon, with his Prada rusack on his back and walked towards departure. Since today it was public holiday, there were going to be many fans at the airport. However, there was news from the Korean Web Site that Leon were to remain one more day in Korea to film "Dreams of Angel", some fans didn't make the journey. Nevertheless, there were around 100 fans at the airport.

When Leon was visual from the glass door, fans were excited with cheers! Leon quickly surpassed the railings, he nodded in response to the fans. Quickly Stanley and two security guards immediately surrounded Leon and a whole bunch of fans began to hand Leon gifts and letters. Leon accepted them all and a fan said to Leon " Today is the closing ceremony of the Olympics, did you watch it?" Leon replied "I was working, how can I watch it?" The fan then asked "Did you taped it?" Leon shaked his head and the fan continued "There are fireworks tonight!" and she continued "Remember to watch the fireworks tonight!" Leon just listened and didn't reply.

When they are on the escalators, Stanley asked those fans in front to walk forward but the fans ignored his plea and continued to talk between themselves. When Leon reached the upper level, Leon nodded to greet the fans there and walked quickly towards his van. Inside the van, Leon waved to the fans outside and then Chi Chuen immediately started the engine, but the van door was not properly shut, very dangerous indeed. After 6 -7 minutes, Ah Bee pushed the two luggage's out of the airport building, fans surrounded him and began to chat with him. After a few minutes , Leon's van returned to collect Ah Bee. When they finished loading the luggage's, Leon once again waved to the surrounding fans before driving off again.
