The Past



May 2001



2001年5月30日  從台北回港

完成第一波宣傳後,Leon帶著輕鬆的心情回到香港,今天很奇怪,不單子泉沒有來接機,連Stanley或他的secure team也沒有影蹤。飛機在11:08am著陸,王凱文在11:20am之前獨自走出禁區,然後fans等了很久,內心也有些猜疑和焦急。終於Leon和阿B在11:40am步出禁區,Leon穿著白色Tee、藍色牛仔褲和藍色Nike球鞋,頭戴藍黑帽,戴著太陽鏡,一面走一面講電話,而且說得很大聲,不斷是: 好...係...遲D call你.....,附近所有人都聽到。
走至斜路末段Leon才將電話掛斷,開始收歌迷的信件,步出機場大樓後,就看到王凱文駕來了私伙"奔馳"房車在等候,原來Leon相隔20分鐘才走出禁區,是要等王凱文取車。Leon坐到司機位旁而阿B則坐後座,這時有歌迷仍有東西要給Leon,Leon將車窗攪下接收了才開車離去。

30.05.01 Return From Taipei
Finishing his first wave of promotional work in Taipei, Leon causally returns to HK today. However, it is somewhat strange in that both Stanley and Chi Chuen were not present today! The plane landed at 11.08am, Alvin Wang was the first seen walking out from arrival. There were a long wait then and the fans there began to feel more anxious as time went by. Finally, Leon and Ah Bee walked out of customs at 11.40pm. Leon was wearing a white tee, jeans and Nike Shoes. Cap and sunglasses, Leon talked on his mobile phone as he walked. He talked quite loud so nearly all those around him could hear him say "Ok... Yes.... I'll call you later!" Only when he reached the end of the slopes before he finished his phone call. He then began to accept letters from fans. Outside the airport terminal, Alvin can be seen waiting in his Benz for Leon. So that's why walked out 20 minutes later than Alvin, so that it can give him time to get his car! Leon sat beside the driver seat in the front while Ah Bee sat in the back. Fans continued to hand him letters and Leon rolled down the window to accept them before he was driven off.

2001年5月28日  Red Shoes 宣傳第一波

Leon的新唱片Red Shoes雖然延期至六月八日才出版,不過原先訂下的宣傳並沒有取消,所以Leon仍要走這一趟。Leon原定坐的航機由10:10am延誤至11:05am才起飛,子泉和Stanley等早在9am已到達機場,王凱文也在9:30am到達,fans又跟他玩玩,問他:「王經理,你撘11點班機呀?」王回答:「唔係呀,撘10點幾o個班。」fans:「我話11點就11點啦,班機delay左呀!」王:「唔係丫嘛?」望見資料板顯示之後,立刻"妖"一聲的走開。
Leon在10:40am坐保母車到達,先是髮型師下車,然後是Leon。Leon的T-shirt很怪誕,前幅以黑色為主卻有無數熒光綠的手指模,前幅底部以及後幅則是今年時興的迷色軍綠,外加一件粉藍外套,配藍色牛仔褲及粉藍Nike球鞋,戴著闊邊太陽鏡 (可能是於28/4到上海時那一副)。Leon的心情很好,除了收下婆婆送的利是之外,還收下很多歌迷送的禮物和信件。走進了禁區時,還回頭和歌迷揮手才離去。

28.05.01 Red Shoes Promotion
Leon's latest mandarin CD "The Red Shoes" release date has been delayed until 8th June. However, the pre organised promotional work would still go ahead as planned, so Leon still will travel to Taiwan. Leon's flight was delayed from 10.10am to 11.05am. Chi Chuen and Stanley were already at the airport as early as 9.00am while Alvin Wang arrived at 9.30am. Fans, cunningly said to him "Mr. Wong, are you taking the 11.00 flight?" Alvin replied "No, I am taking the one at around 10.00am" Fans laughed and said "We say you will take the 11.00am flight, the plane has been delayed!" Alvin replied with a sense of disbelief "No Way!" Then he looked at the departure board and then let of a sign of disapprovement and walked away. Leon arrived in his van at 10.40am, first his hairstylist got off, then followed Leon. Leon wore a very unusual tee shirt, the front had a black background with lots of luminous fingerprints, the bottom of the front and the entire back is the most popular this summer- army rainbow green. He also wore a blue jacket, jeans and light blue Nike shoes, and a broad edge sunglasses (maybe the same one as Shanghai 28.04.01). Leon was in exceptional form and apart from receiving lucky red pockets from an elderly fan, he also accepted many gifts and letters from other fans. On his way into departure, he looked back and waved to the fans before leaving.

2001年5月26日  「愛心巴士公益遊」拾趣

整日活動繁多,只能說說當中幾件有趣事,詳情請到Leon官方網頁 LeonStarEastnet.com 收看。
Leon約在11:50am到達九龍巴士廠,Leon跳下保母車就坐進愛心巴士的司機位,旁邊站有教車師傅,巴士門邊則有Stanley。站在嘉賓區的記者們都很緊張的預備攝影機,只見Leon小心奕奕的撥弄倒後鏡、側鏡、各種掣件之後才開始....只直駛至約80M外的嘉賓區內停車,整個地方只有他那架愛心巴士在行走,Leon仍依足規距的望望倒後鏡 ^_^


完成儀式後Leon坐到愛心巴士下層,和公益金及九巴高層及嘉賓一起出發。中途有些嘉賓在行離去,愛心巴士則停進荔枝角巴士總站內,先讓記者訪問Leon後才出發到大埔中心的百佳超級市場售賣獎券。
在大埔賣獎券時,很多該區市民突見Leon出現都很開心,很多太太們熱心地一本一本的從Leon手上將獎券買下,什至買完又買。


下一站是到沙田巴士總站賣九巴紀念品,該處是商場地層,非常高溫,所以早在這處排隊的歌迷都焗得滿身是汗。本來分兩隊,一隊買$500的慈善套裝紀念品,另一隊買$200的紀念票,這一條人龍看來多數並非歌迷。Leon先被安排親手賣$500的紀念套裝,只限首一百名,Leon賣得很落力,歌迷亦買得開心,Leon還不時對捐款的人仕說「福有尤歸」。有很多在沙田區的少男少女來看熱並排隊購買紀念品,而且是少男居多啊!其中有名十多歲的青年男子趕到一群朋友當中排隊,說:「我要考試唔落街o架,係黎明賣我先至o黎咋!」然後見朋友立刻說:「我溫哂書喇!」可見Leon的魅力!賣光紀念套裝後,本應向另一條人龍售賣紀念票,可是大會安排錯誤,使本來排在$500那條隊伍而後於首100名的人繼續買紀念票,而保安亦沒有截斷人龍,而使排在$200那隊的人沒有機會購買。當司儀宣佈Leon要離開時,很多人鼓燥大叫,幸好Leon立刻決定多留一會賣給排在$200那隊的人,才能平息。Leon從售賣處後門立刻走上愛心巴士下層的最後一排,歌迷及人群都可以透過巴士的大玻璃和Leon打招呼,Leon也很開心的以燦爛笑容及揮手和各人打招呼。


Leon及後到了沙田一所老人中心和煤氣公司的義工一起招待老人並派發五月稯,這批老人都是中心會員之中選出的,當Leon未到達前,還有其他沒有被邀的老人家想參加,可惜無法進場,只聽到她們對無法參與和見Leon一面感到失望。
Leon離開中心後,坐保母車到九龍塘車站。九龍塘火車站和地鐵站相通,大會早在火車站售票處擺放宣傳品,亦吸引了歌迷及市民排隊。約在3:45pm,Leon卻先現身在地鐵站出口,推著流動八達通機呼籲乘客捐錢。本來Leon的目標是剛走出收費閘的乘客,不過有少女乘客剛由另一收費閘走出來才發現Leon在此,便匆匆走過來捐錢,這麼幸運的見到Leon,當然要握握手囉!發現Leon在這處的歌迷只有幾個,後來就陪著Leon一同由地鐵站走到火車站。在途中,有幾個歌迷提Leon要拿子泉的錢包捐錢,Leon取了錢包順利過數後,將錢包交還給子泉時說了謝謝,歌迷都大笑,只見子泉面上沒什麼表情地收下錢包,Leon擔心子泉不高興,用手掩著咀 (就像The Red Shoes其中一張插圖一樣) 眼仔睩睩地有點驚驚的對子泉說:「廿...廿蚊o者!」....(網主覺得子泉很樂意做善事,只是不習慣成為歌迷視線的主角吧!)


及後Leon到火車站那邊,排了隊的人可以和Leon握手然後捐錢,皆大歡喜,捐錢的市民當中除了拍拖的男女外,還有一對穿上舞衣的小女孩!當中有很多排在頭位的歌迷排完又排,想再捐款,Leon亦樂意地接收她們的八達通咭,可惜時限未過無法再捐,Leon也有點失望的,這時有歌迷早在地鐵站捐過錢的遞上八達通咭,Leon就說:「唔可以再捐喇,o都唔到架!」歌迷就解釋說:「我過左五分鐘喇!過左五分鐘就得喇!」Leon懷疑地說:「得?」歌迷:「得架,你試下啦!」Leon:「好,試下!」一放上過咭機,「o都!」一聲,Leon很開心的回過頭來對歌迷笑說:「你得o左呀!」然後和歌迷熱情地握手!接著又有一個從地鐵過來的歌迷遞上八達通咭,歌迷還未開口,Leon很醒目的接過咭對她說:「你得o架,你過左五分鐘!」


完成九龍塘站後,Leon坐保母車於5pm到中環中心的道亨銀行進行為顧客開戶儀式,這個項目並不公開。


最後一站是中環的翠華茶餐廳,由於消息早在報張上透露,所以成為各群前線歌迷的據點,甚至有澳門前來的歌迷在等候了大半天,而餐廳的常客也有在坐,有一桌本來只有一男一女在吃東西,知道Leon會到來,立刻Call來兩個女性朋友,很開心的在等候。餐廳共三層,最高一層留給Leon及工作人員,第二層是活動場地,地下一層正常做生意。Leon由後門進入,直上三樓。當Leon由樓上步下時,大家立刻歡呼!
大家難得可以有Leon做侍應,都跟他玩玩啦。首一二桌歌迷點的食物名稱都比較艱深,聽到好像有「羅漢齋炒麵」,這可考驗Leon了,不過他仍很樂意的為客人服務,努力地寫.....(另有餐廳經理在旁提點及寫下真正交給廚房的單!) 一邊廂Joe聽到菜名後反而很緊張的在張望。後來Leon走到第三桌,是三名澳門歌迷,點的是三碗牛腩麵三杯檸檬茶,換得Leon一句:「最乖係你地喇!」另有一桌,歌迷點「雜菜湯」,Leon問經理:「有冇架?」經理回答:「冇架,羅宋湯就有!」Leon對歌迷說:「羅宋湯啦,好唔好?」歌迷:「哦,是但啦!」同桌的另一歌迷點:「蠔油芥蘭走蠔油....呀,走埋油。」Leon又好努力地寫。又另一桌,向Leon點三個豬扒飽,Leon正在考量「扒」字怎樣寫,經理就說:「寫豬飽就得喇。」Leon就自說自話「豬包。」然後望一望點豬扒飽的三個fans,就低頭「木」咀微笑:「三個豬包!」........餐廳有三十桌人客,Leon是每桌的去寫單和招呼,所以每桌有每桌的故事,網主無法一一寫下了。
Leon和他的隨員 ~~ Leon走到某一桌時,阿B就站在附近背著Leon面對一些歌迷,客人對Leon說要吃「熱狗」,阿B一聽就說:「佢唔識寫!」那頭已聽Leon沉默一會說:「Hot dog!」(哈哈!) 百事活經理梁天恩更是一早坐在餐廳正中的一桌,一面看菜譜一面磨掌擦掌:「呢個名夠哂長夠難寫,正!」不過Leon走過他的一桌時,即管梁天恩在招手,Leon卻不理會他!(哈哈!)反而後來完成寫單工作後,就走到梁天恩的一桌拿他的麵吃。子泉和阿Joe則一直站在樓梯邊注視Leon的一舉一動。當日最「幸運」的是阿佳,得到Leon親自奉一杯奶茶。王凱文則整日只出現餐聽一會。
完成一切工作後,Leon回到上層接受記者訪問,約在8:30pm離去,坐保母車直接到TVB電視城進行綵排,也沒有換過穿了一整天的衣服,綵排至10:30pm才離開。

2001年5月25日  「翱翔萬里展愛心」

今天是「Leon海陸空全情投入為公益」第二砲,也是令台港兩地歌迷緊張萬分的「翱翔萬里展愛心」,Leon將會陪同善長及受助人仕一同飛到台灣遊一天,實在是慈善募捐活動的創舉。這個活動主要由國泰航空贊助包機及新華旅行社贊助台灣行程、午餐及領隊等等,真的要謝謝兩大機構。Leon這方面,做善事當然心情大好,不辭勞苦之餘更是表情多多說話風趣抵死。
愛心航機定於早上9am起飛,按照一般旅行團那樣早兩個多小時就要集合,所以參加者的集合時間是6:30am,並於7am排隊辦理登機手續,所有參加這次活動的人,包括參加者、工作人員、受助人仕甚至隨團出發的各個記者都要穿著一件白色制服Tee,而捐錢投得機位的參加者所得到的T-shirt上更有Leon的親筆簽名 (T-shirt是在茶會上派發,要簽下收條的,比發機票和登機証還要小心得多了!) 這趟愛心之旅經過航空公司特別安排,所以設有一個獨立的辦理區,欄杆上並綴有一束一束紫色、白色、粉紅色的汽球。
拿到登機証以後,參加者和大批傳媒都圍著辦証區等候Leon到來。約7:50am,Stanley帶著secure走到機場大樓外,部份歌迷(尤其是沒有參加旅程的)都跟著上去迎接Leon。不消幾秒鐘就看到Leon坐著一架保母車到來,先是子泉下車,然後是Leon的腳踏下.....竟然穿著整套飛機司制服!歌迷簡直情不自禁的大叫: 嘩~~ 嘩 ~~ 嘩~~~~!只見Leon右手提著機司手提旅行袋、左手微彎夾著機司帽,像拍造形照一樣啊!Leon站了不夠兩秒就昂然闊步,不知怎的,Leon行得並不算很慢,卻總帶著Slow motion那份翩翩美態。由於記者們和大部份歌迷都堆在辦証區,所以大家都行得很自如。Leon一展步,歌迷又忍不住嘩嘩大叫,真的好靚呀!Leon聽到歌迷叫聲也忍不住微微笑。
走下了斜路,一轉彎就直向著辦証區,那邊的歌迷遠望Leon的造型,除了加入一齊「嘩叫」也別無他法了。Leon走進辦証區後,先和主席余錦基及國泰代表做一些儀式,拍過合照之後,Leon就脫下那件制服的上衣,然後為十名幸運參加者辦理登機手續。接著(大概是8:15am)就從「職員通道」走進禁區,免了過海關的手續,不過並非他的所有隨員也有這個優待,所以Secure和阿B是要從正常海關柜位過關,他們都聰明的懂得叫面熟的歌迷禮讓他們先過,Leon則站在過關處等待所有隨員過了關以後,他才走過來。這時他又穿回上衣了。進了禁區後Leon左轉到VIP休息室,那邊只有三四個歌迷站著,Leon經過時似笑非笑有點捉挾的對歌迷說:「一陣間坐穩機呀!」歌迷回應說:「係咪你"渣"先?係就一定穩啦!」Leon和歌迷都忍不住在笑。
這時司儀祝文君提醒歌迷排隊買紀念品,待會Leon會出來親自售賣的!歌迷知道後都非常興奮,因為原先沒想到這一節是有Leon參與的,所以歌迷在排隊,傳媒在排位準備攝影。約在8:30am,Leon在secure陪同下再度現身,外衣又脫下了。Leon不時流露出他的細心關心和"煞食"金句呀!有歌迷買風褸,Leon將風褸交給她時,附送一句:"買件褸就唔駛嬲!"歌迷反應也來不及做就轉身,又有歌迷買T-shirt,工作人員遞上一件大碼,Leon立刻說:「佢著唔到咁大,細碼啦!」,及後又有一名智障兒童要買紀念品,他想不到要買什麼,Leon就主動為他選了雨傘,說很實用。由於安排完善,所以Leon可以親手將紀念品賣給所有在場排隊的人。接著Leon又走回VIP室,參加者則登機。........ (待續 Posted 27 May, 2001 01:52pm)
(續上) 大家坐好之後,就聽到Leon的聲音從播音器傳來:「我係你地o既機長黎明....祝你地有愉快的旅遊」(網主: 機上太嘈吵,只能聽到一點點)。其後就是公益金負責人和司儀祝文君說待會Leon過來派紀念品時要守秩序啦、飛行時間有限啦、不要混亂啦....
當飛機起飛後,機上各人可以將安全帶鬆綁的時候,Leon就在Stanley的陪同下來到經濟艙向參加者派送紀念品了,雖然這一個環節是預先安排的,可是這一下大家仍然開心得呆了,也能夠克制,保持秩序,參加者固然沒有怎樣站起來,記者們也不致於太混亂。
Leon沒有穿外套,不過白襯衫的衣襟上已扣有一個刻有Leon Lai的金色名牌。Leon是由機身左邊最後排開始派送一個小小行李牌,最初兩排還派每人兩顆巧克力,不過由於太繁複所以刪減了,Leon在派送時都有對參加者說話,內容多樣化。當中Leon看到網主Salina手上一支筆型數碼相機時,忙問: 呢支咩黎架?網主回答:數碼相機。Leon大感興趣,還拿來為網主拍了照片哩。
派送完畢,Leon就走到商務艙向善長派飲品,派完之後,還應記者要求回到經濟艙接受訪問,歌迷又可以看到Leon,很開心啊!最後,Leon還走到參加者的座位旁拍照。
當航機著陸台北機場之後,穿回整齊機司制服的Leon最早走出機艙,一面行一面被記者拍照和拍video,這時台灣的媒體也來了。同機而來的歌迷沒想過要追著Leon,不過有些要趕著去加簽入台証,卻正好和Leon同路。Leon到達工作人員通道後,就被大批傳媒圍著拍照。Leon過了海關後,沒有即時離開,因為其他隨他同來的工作人員及secure並無享有特權,所以Leon等他們全通過後才離去。
參加者由新華旅行社的領隊和當地導遊的帶領下,坐旅遊車到達來來大飯店吃自助餐。吃完之後,Leon就步進會場坐到主家席。Leon已換上了便裝,身穿這次活動的制服T-shirt、Gucci牛仔褲、藍色Nike球鞋,外加一件粉藍色風衣。待主席余錦基致辭後,Leon就被司儀邀請上台和各個受助團體代表拍照,代表之中老、中、青、兒童都有,大家都拍得很開心。拍完之後Leon順步下台,這時新華旅行社的領隊們走上台,司儀向Leon問准可否和他們拍照,Leon二話不說的跳回台上和他們拍照......(後來網主那一車的領隊說Leon沒有架子,能和他合照很開心,歌迷說: 換成是我們更開心啊!)
後來坐車到陽光洗車中心.....(比想像中簡陋,只在天橋底),參加者都不得下車,要在車上等候安排,而受助人仕及嘉賓則被先安排下車站好。約在2:15pm當Leon坐保母車到達並且下車準備就緒之後,參加者才下車走到洗車中心,Leon則剛開始將水噴向車身,在這個狹小空間卻圍滿台港兩地傳媒,單是手提攝錄機保守估計也有七、八部之多。
Leon洗車的技術很純熟也很快,也懂得在轉換動作之間稍為停頓讓傳媒拍照,不然他們要擠得更厲害了。Leon在沖洗的過程中也開玩笑的將水噴得高高,弄濕擠在對面的人群。
Leon洗車完畢,還走到另一端為公益金頒發紀念狀,這時傳媒將圍著Leon的圈圈縮得更窄了,Joe站在外面看不到Leon,又是擔心又焦急,忙不迭的站到椅子上張望,終於望到Leon好好的站在人群中間,才安心的從椅上走下來。儀式完畢之後,Leon就坐保母車離開了。參加者則回到旅遊車,然後坐車到最後一站「新東陽」。
參加者到達後,只見新東陽店外站滿了台灣歌迷,而香港的參加者則被安排在店旁的街道上,還拿著Banner等候,工作人員為參加者拍團體照。不久Leon坐保母車來到,旋即走到店門外接受台灣傳媒訪問,這時參加者 (歌迷)仍在街道上,只能看到台灣歌迷將Leon團團圍住,想不到Leon接受完訪問後就被工作人員安排走近參加者,Stanley更拉開Banner的角讓Leon走進歌迷堆拍照啊!有站得近Leon的歌迷忍不住對著Leon歡呼:「發達喇!」當Leon站到前排中央時,後面竟然有歌迷要求Leon蹲下,免得阻礙她上鏡,Leon起先沒有回應,後來禁不住她不斷的要求,Leon沒好氣的回頭說:「我係男人梗係高D架啦!」使身旁的歌迷都笑得樂了!拍過團體照之後,Leon又在台灣歌迷的簇擁下步上保母車離去了。
參加者在6pm陸續到達機場等候登機。Leon的保母車則於稍後到達,Leon約在7:10pm步向禁區,風衣的拉鍊全拉上了,期開不斷的回應歌迷。步進禁區後,Leon可從工作人員通道走過,阿B等人則從普通通道過海關,Leon等所有人通過後就步向登機口,中間經過台灣歌迷站立的地方,從玻璃牆可以看到對方,Leon也很開心的和她們揮手道別。
Leon過了X-ray檢查處之後,Leon在走至VIP室門外時忽然回頭,原來要走到洗手間裡!(其後應該再走進VIP室等候上機吧。)約7:40pm,Leon和隨員一起走到登機口,然後走進機艙了。
航機於9:35pm著陸香港機場,Leon很快就下機並且走進洗手間。過海關時有歌迷叫Leon快點回家休息,Leon回應說:「我仲有野做!」,過了海關Leon又主動的和歌迷說再見,歌迷問他:「你仲要做野呀?」Leon笑著點頭說:「係呀!」然後就由阿Joe和各人陪同下步出禁區。
步出禁區後,在香港等候接機的歌迷一湧而上,一直圍著Leon步出機場大樓,坐上保母車離去。

2001年5月24日  「愛心飄揚匯長洲」

Leon今年為公益金大型籌款節目「Leon海陸空全情投入為公益」的第一砲「愛心飄揚匯長洲」,今日在長洲舉行。
雖然有報張列明這個活動於今日下午5:45pm舉行,不過記者們和熱情的歌迷早在上午已到達長洲。只見沿海的海鮮店放了15桌,中間建了一個小台,台後還架起一個畫有Leon的宣傳牌。
Stanley和幾名secure在1:20pm現身歌迷眼前,後來Stanley和天恩、阿佳坐駁艇出海,於1:50pm,駁艇就載著Leon到來了。Leon身穿白色公益金制服Tee、藍色牛仔褲、白色運動鞋,頭戴小帽,面部已經哂得有點紅,伴著Leon同艇而來的還有子泉、阿B、小青、阿Joe、Sev和小偉。歌迷看到他,當然雀躍,也伴著Leon一起步向球場,球場內早有廿多名記者在等候,也立刻蜂湧拍照。
原來這次Leon現身是為了到廟中舉行拜神儀式並切燒豬。當Leon在廟前的時候,歌迷都站得很近,亦在叫他。Leon看一看歌迷群就說:「唔好晒親!」,有歌迷就回應說:「我有帶帽架,同你一樣,不過冇拎出黎咋!」Leon聽到之後就笑一笑。
在廟前拜神的時候,天氣很熱、太陽很猛,阿B就將一包紙巾拋給Leon,Leon也將紙巾分派給這次和他合作的兩位美女徐子淇和傅天穎。拜神完畢,Leon又沿路走回艇上,期間有歌迷問Leon是否出海滑水,Leon聽後只縮一縮膊。沿途有「全線大搜查」的記者訪問Leon,及至下艇之前,Leon還站著和「大搜查」的記者做訪問,這時歌迷和Leon只有一桌之隔,Leon不時望向歌迷。
做完訪問Leon就下艇,Leon在艇上不斷和岸上的歌迷揮手,還將頭上的小帽脫下來揮動哩!
(Leon由2:15pm出海,超過四小時,據司儀祝文君所說,是出海拍攝Leon和張達明、徐子淇及傅天穎玩水上電單車的情況,後來又看到有一條大魚,海鮮店人員說是Leon出海到魚排自己選取的)
Leon約在6:30pm回程,這時小台下擠滿了長洲街坊、記者和歌迷。司儀請Leon上台之後,Leon很開心的和台下觀眾、歌迷打招呼。第一個環節是Leon拍賣巨魚,結果以二萬八千元賣出,並且經Leon決定而將巨魚放生。
第二個環節是「黎明秘製炒蜆」,司儀問Leon煮菜水準可以嗎?Leon說他一向也可以的。Leon並請兩位拍檔徐子淇和傅天穎一同上台,Leon打趣說: 「唔駛(觀眾)淨係睇炒蜆咁悶!」然後就是全日焦點 ~~ Leon炒蜆了!
Leon首先右手拿專業鑊鏟 (半圓型那種)、左手拿毛巾以便將鐵鑊拿起。Leon將一些蜆枃進鑊之後,Leon就很專業的在炒蜆,記者們立刻站到自己帶來的小梯或借來膠椅站起,歌迷也在人隙之間觀看。Leon似乎有板有眼啊!他還是每一碟每一碟的炒,分別由兩位美女送菜。炒好第六碟的時候,Leon放下鑊鏟摔一摔手,這時他身旁的徐子淇就說她也想炒,Leon就將鏟交給她,然後他自己就幫忙加醬料,這一下記者們可緊張了,紛紛舉機,Leon也就擺擺pose啦,結果這兩匙醬料放了幾十秒!當徐子淇需要拿起鑊時就不夠力,Leon立刻做回大廚,一手拿鑊一手拿鏟的又炒起來了,不過很快歌迷就發覺Leon的鏟已經換成普通家庭用的那種平鏟,比較輕巧些,不過Leon還是要摔摔手,司儀問他是不是累了,Leon說不是,只是鬆弛手部肌肉。Leon再炒的時候,有歌迷大叫:「Leon加油!」Leon很開心的望向歌迷。Leon只有在第11,12,13,14桌才是一次炒兩碟的。
最後是第十五桌,也就是主家席的一碟了。司儀發覺Leon這次放的配料特別多,Leon立刻搶著說:「因為何麗全鍾意食辣D!」Leon炒好之後,親自送到主家席,司儀和記者群也跟著過去,司儀問何麗全對Leon的炒蜆有什麼評價,何麗全回答:「此蜆只應天上有!」而主席余錦基則說Leon用愛心來炒,特別好吃。這時海鮮宴才正式開始。
海鮮宴開始後,約7pm,Leon走到最前端的一桌,原來坐了呂博文一家四口(東方廣場那個小男孩,大家有印象吧!),Leon坐到呂先生身旁一面吃蝦一面和他談話,呂先生的大小兒子和太太則順序的坐在Leon右側。小男孩停下沒有吃東西,Leon一面談話仍一面將碗內一隻蝦筴到小男孩的碗中。小男孩也不用等Leon說話,就將蝦吃了,還乖乖的向Leon豎起三只手指,好像在說他已經吃了三隻。
約7:10pm,阿Joe就來帶Leon回主家席,原來舞獅表演要開始了。這是站在高橈上的舞獅,Leon抬頭看得目不轉睛。約7:20pm,Leon起身走向另一端的每一桌,和來賓都握握手,打過招呼,然後約在7:25pm就走下駁艇準備離開,駁艇上早有TVB的記者在等候,做完訪問後,艇要駛離了,Leon就站在艇尾向岸上歌迷揮手。
原來好戲在後頭哩!Leon似乎越揮手越興奮,揮之不盡,歌迷當然奉陪到底,當艇已駛離大概五十尺吧,前排數名歌迷向Leon叫:「Leon,聽日見!」本來沒有預算Leon可以聽到,怎知Leon聽到之後點頭,又將手再抬高一些來揮動,最後索性跳起來雙用交叉的在揮動,歌迷看到後很是開心,正在揮動的手又怎會捨得放下來?結果Leon不斷的揮,還跳起三次哩!
(網主: 各位fans請在27日打電話捐公益金,海外歌迷可在網上捐錢。)

24.05.01 Charity Function at Cheung Chau


This is the first of three Charity Fund Raising Champaign for Community Chest by Leon and today it took him to one of Hong Kong's Lantau Island- Cheung Chau. Although officially the event didn't began till 5.45pm, but fans and the media already gathered there early morning. There were around 15 tables laid out by the seafood restaurant with a little stage in the centre and a Leon billboard as the background.


Stanley and Co. appeared infront of fans at 1.20pm, but soon they followed Tin Yan, Ah Kai on the boat and they sailed out. At 1.50pm, they returned but this time with Leon on board! Leon was wearing the white Community Chest tee shirt, jeans, white running shoes with a little cap on his head. Leon's complexion shown a little redness, probably caused by the sun. On the same boat were Chi Chuen, Siu Ching, Joe Chan, Sev and Siu Wai. Fans became very "active" once they saw Leon and they accompanied Leon to the basketball court. There were already 20 or so journalists waiting and took many photographs as soon as they saw Leon. Leon was actually going to the temple there to pray for the smooth running of the event today. Outside the temple, fans were very near him and Leon looked at the fans and said "Beware of the sun!". Fans smiled and replied "I also brought a hat with me, just like you but I didn't wear it!" Leon smiled back.


It was very hot and the sun was very strong so Ah Bee handed Leon a packet of tissue and Leon also gave some to the two female artist who was participating in the same event, Cathy Chu and Fu Tin Wing. After the ceremony, Leon returned to his boat and when a fan asked Leon was he going to water-ski, Leon shrugged his shoulders. On the way, one of the reporter from TVB's "Investigating Files" were interviewing Leon. He continued to talk to the reporter just as he was about to ascend the boat. By then, he was just around one table length away from the fans and Leon constantly looked towards the fans! After the interview, Leon returned to the boat and waved constantly to the fans on shore. He even took off his cap to wave!(From 2.15pm Leon was in the sea filming, over four hours! According to the MC, the crew were to film Leon, Cathy, Cheung Tat Ming and Fu Tin Wing at sea driving the water-bikes. In the sea, they saw a big fish, the seafood restaurant staff said that Leon choose the fish himself).


Leon returned at around 6.30pm, by this time the locals, Media and fans were crowding around the little stage. MC introduced Leon on stage and Leon happily smiled and greeted everyone there. The first event was Leon to auction off the big fish and it raised $28000. Although the fish was auctioned off, Leon still decided to let the fish free. The second event was Leon cooking! The MC asked Leon how was his cooking? Leon replied not bad! Leon then asked the two females onto the stage also, as Leon joked "At least there are more things for the audience to look at!" Then the main focus of Leon cooking of the cockles began! Leon professionally took the wok(round bottom wok) in to his right hand, left hand holding the wok handle with a towel. Leon put the cockles into the wok and he began his frying. Journalists stood on their ladders to get a better look while fans looked on in between the crowd. Leon looked really professional! Plate after plate, Leon continued to fry and the two ladies passed the gourmet onto the tables. By the sixth plate, Leon put the wok down and twisted his hand a little. At this stage Cathy wanted to try so Leon handed the chef position to her while Leon helped to add the sauces. Journalists got anxious so Leon posed and added slowly for their cameras! In all, just adding two spoon of sauces took many seconds! When Cathy didn't have enough strength to lift the wok, so Leon returned to being the Chef, and continued cooking! Fans then noticed the wok was changed to a lighter flat bottom wok, but Leon still had to twist his hand a little and when asked was he tired, he said no and explained that he just wants to relax his hand a little. When Leon continued to cook, fans screamed words of encouragement to him and Leon smiled at the fans! From the 11th table onwards, Leon cooked two plates at once! Finally, by table 15, is the host's table. MC noticed that Leon put especially more ingredients so Leon immediately said "Because Mr. Ho prefers spicy!" When Leon finished, he himself brought it to the table and everyone followed him. MC asked Mr. Ho how will he grade it. He replied "From the heavens!". Community Chest Chairman said Leon used his warm heart to cook, especially delicious. The seafood banquet officially began.

At 7.00pm, the banquet began, Leon went towards the table towards one side of the ground and sat with the family of Lui Bok Man (remember the cute little boy from the Oriental Plaza?) Leon ate as he talked with Mr. Lui while the rest of his family sat on the right of Leon. The little boy already stopped eating but Leon (still talking) took a prawn from his bowl into the bowl of the little boy. Without hesitating, the little boy immediately ate the prawn and shown Leon three little fingers indicating he already ate three prawns! At around 7.10pm, Joe asked Leon to return to the host's table. Some Lion dances were about to began! The Lion dances were done on a high bars and Leon watched its performance in awe. At 7.20pm, Leon walked around to every table to shake hands with all the guests there. At 7.25pm, Leon walked towards his boat to depart. Again, he was interviewed by TVB reporters before he got on the boat. From the rear if the boat, Leon waved goodbye to the fans.


When everyone thought it was all over, there were more to come! Leon became very excited and waved non stop! Of course fans replied happily. When the boat were around 50 feet away, one of the fans at the front shouted "Leon, see you tomorrow!". Didn't think Leon would hear it, but Leon nodded in reply, and once again stood a little higher to wave to the fans! He even jumped up to wave with both hands to fans! Fans were so thrilled, no one wants to stopped waving. Leon was seen jumping at least three times waving before he was out of sight!

2001年5月17日  公益金「籌募兒童教育基金」

公益金今日在荃灣灣景中心百佳超級廣場內的「百味佳」舉行記者會介紹有關籌募兒童教育基金的活動,身為籌募委員的Leon當然出席推廣。會場與百佳超級廣場其他地方以玻璃相隔,場內掛滿一個一個圓型小海報,一面是Leon個人照、另一面是Leon和一群小孩子的合照,很清新。Leon到場之前,公益金的工作人員以及籌募主席余錦基早已到達,也有極多記者到來。歌迷則守候在通道外及玻璃牆外觀望。
Leon坐保母車到達後,於2:55pm由專設通道到達會場之內。Leon身穿白衣,由膊頭至手袖邊綴以一條啡色花紋,卡其色長褲,沒有戴墨鏡,精神奕奕的走過通道,看到玻璃牆外歌迷歡呼揮手,Leon也側過頭來揮一揮手回應。Leon入座之後,記者會隨即開始...... (玻璃隔聲、站在梯上拍照的記者阻隔視線,所以網主什麼也聽不到、看不清,只知道Leon繼百佳代表和余錦基之後上台演講,Leon則以一貫快捷簡短的演詞應付後,隨即下台。)
Leon在百味佳完成儀式後,記者和嘉賓們立刻被安排到百佳超級廣場的付款處等候Leon大駕,以身作則的購買慈善券,在等候時司儀在介紹獎券活動,說買了獎券的可以抽獎,得獎的500人可出席7月22日在海洋公園的活動,到時Leon也會出席的。約在3:45pm,Leon來到拿著獎券給記者們拍照,站在一旁的歌迷看到Leon就喊,到3:55pm,Leon再轉回百味佳那邊接受各方傳媒訪問。Leon躲在電腦房在接受訪問期間,百味佳內放滿食物,小孩和嘉賓都在吃自助餐,阿佳、天恩、子泉、阿B、小偉、陳善之等等間中都走到百味佳吃東西,可能只有Leon沒有時間吃了!
Leon在4:25pm完成訪問之後,從房內走出,面向歌迷,雖然隔了厚厚的一道玻璃牆,仍感到歌迷在歡呼?Leon走出來時,直向歌迷這邊張望,笑容滿面帶點天真氣,伸直了手向歌迷揮動,閃爍的眼神透出迷人的光采,Leon行了幾步再望歌迷揮手,在外久等的歌迷開心得連聲大叫。
Leon從特別通道直抵停車場,然後坐保母車離開。到達停車場大門時,在外等候的歌迷又一湧而上,Leon很開心的將車上小燈開亮,阿B又代為收下歌迷送上的信件。Leon一再向歌迷揮手之後才離去。
(網主: 寫這篇報導期間遇到某件事情而有些感觸,所以想在這處解釋一下。各位請留心看看內容,歌迷大多由2pm站著等至5pm,連車程要花大概四五小時,總計才不過見Leon不及一分鐘,而且這些資料是合各方資料才寫成的,如果留在百味佳等候的歌迷,就未必能趕及到停車場外,那就是說連這一分鐘也不是每個到場的歌迷都得到的。雖然只是短短的幾眼,在歌迷心中仍是寶貴如珍的,正是如此,網主才覺得值得花時間去和網友歌迷分享,卻原來惹得莫名的妒忌,以為香港歌迷常常可以接近Leon,這個實在是太美麗的誤會了。)

2001年4月29日- 5月2日  到北京參演「申辦奧運音樂會」

Leon完成了「面對面」的錄影後,今午乘東方航空的航機從上海浦東機場飛到北京,準備參與「申辦奧運音樂會」的演出.......(浦東機場很美啊!)
小清約於2pm到達機場,然後是子泉及小偉等到達辦理登機手續,數分鐘後歌迷走出登機大樓張望,已見Leon和阿Mark由阿B及阿佳等陪同下正慢步走過來,Leon仍是那件迷彩外套波鞋,不過太陽鏡則比昨天的那副稍細小卻稍黑。歌迷分別和阿Mark及Leon打招呼,一時間「阿Mark早晨」、「Leon早晨」之聲不絕。
Leon慢慢步向禁區時有收下歌迷的信件,也有專程由日本來上海參加錄影的歌迷送上信件,並和Leon說了幾句話。此外當然有上海歌迷,一直伴在Leon身邊談話了。
Leon過了閘機,回頭與歌迷揮手,在過金屬探測機之前再回頭揮手,fans當然開心咯!
過金屬探測機時,Leon袋中有物不能通過,要回頭掏出放下,才能入閘去!
浦東機場多採用自然光,氣溫較高,而且登機閘口非常遠,所以Leon進了禁區走了一回之後,反正還有時間,就到一旁脫下了外套,這時才露出了白色Tee,胸前有大大圓形圖案。進機艙後約五分鐘,飛機才開始行駛。
航機於4:30pm到達北京國際機場,Leon在子泉和兩名secure陪同下,和阿Mark第一時間步出機艙,沿途由北京接待單位帶到VIP通道。另一方面,阿B及其他工作人員則循正常通道往等候行李。卻原來Leon並未有先到酒店,而是到了VIP休息室,休息室外則來了很多北京記者,甚至是電視台的攝影師也到了,他們和天恩商量一下之後,Leon就步出休息室讓他們拍照和訪問。不久,Leon才由secure的護衛之下從VIP通道步出停車場然後坐車到酒店。


Leon在4月30日下午四時多,出發到酒會。當晚七時開始各表演歌星到工人體育場綵排,天恩和阿佳帶著舞蹈員到了現場綵排,約在9pm子泉、小偉、Sev及secure等Leon的隨員乘一輛二十座車到達,後面是Leon的房車。隨員下車不及五分鐘就回到車上,二十座車與房車一起離開了。看來Leon今晚的綵排是取消了......(大會的安排似乎常在改動,很多歌星到場一會不用綵排就走了,Leon從最初的第十八項表演改為作開場表演,真是「變化多端」啊!)


Leon在5月1日當晚成為開幕表演嘉賓,安排也算隆重,而且他的「Happy2000」和「夢想成真」的確可以帶動整個節目的氣氛,一句 :「回家的感覺」勝過千言萬語。


表演翌日,Leon坐港龍航機回港,航機於3:35pm著陸,Leon在3:55pm由阿佳、子泉、王凱文、阿B及兩名secure的陪同下步出禁區,和Leon一同回港的阿Mark則仍在禁區內。來接機的有三數十位歌迷和一些記者,當中有歌迷給了Leon一張大大的上海錄影節目的照片,由secure接下。Leon在乘搭自動電梯之際,反覆看著由歌迷送上的一張小便條,又說在北京上海收到很多歌迷的信,及後有歌迷在上層叫Leon,他亦抬頭張望並且回應,步出機場大樓之後,乘坐一輛灰色保母車離開.......(可能是直接去續拍「不死情謎」了!)

29.04.01- 02.05.01 Beijing Olympics Gala


Finished recording the "Face to Face" concert in Shanghai, he then travelled to Beijing on the Oriental Airline, to participate in the concert to support Beijing as the host nation for the Olympic games..... (Shanghai Airport is very nice!) Siu Ching was in the airport at 2.00pm, then followed Chi Chuen and Siu Wai arrived for check in. Couple of minutes later, fans looked towards the departure lounge and already saw Leon and Mark (accompanied by Ah Bee and Ah Kai) strolling towards departure. Leon still had the same rainbow jacket and runners, but the sunglasses is smaller than the one yesterday. Fans said hello to Mark and Leon and all can be heard is "Good Morning Mark" " Good Morning Leon". Leon received letters given to him, including from some Japanese fans who flew especially to Shanghai, They spoke to Leon a little and also the Shanghai fans was at Leon's side all the time! Leon passed the gates and looked back to wave to the fans, and waved again as he passed the metal detectors! Fans were thrilled to bits! As he was passing the metal detectors, Leon had some items in his pocket that alerted the detectors, so he had to walk back, put the items in the trays and then passed again!


Because Shanghai airport is very bright and quite warm, and the departure gate is quite far away, so after Leon was inside customs, he has plenty of time and was walking slowly. He took off his jacket and his white tee shirt (with a big circle design) can be seen. Leon ascended the airplane and around 5 minutes later, the plane airborne. The flight arrived in Beijing International airport at 4.30pm, accompanied by Chi Chuen and two security, Leon and Mark immediately walked ahead, they being led to the VIP lounge. On the other side, Ah Bee and the others walked out the normal way to get the luggage. Leon didn't go to the hotel yet, but instead rested a little in the VIP lounge. At the same time, there already gathered a lot of Beijing journalists and even some TV Channel cameraman was there also. After discussing with Tin Yan, Leon walked out of the VIP lounge for a short photo session and interview. Afterwards, Leon was led out by security via the VIP exit to the carpark and travelled towards the hotel.


On the 30.04.01 at 4.00pm, Leon sets off for the press conference. From 7.00pm that night, all other performers were rehearsing in the stadium, with Tin Yan and Ah Kai bringing the dancers for rehearsals. At around 9.00pm, Chi Chuen, Siu Wai, Sev and the security arrived in a 20-seated car, with Leon's car behind them. In less then five minutes, some crew descended but less than five minutes, they returned to the car and soon all two cars departed. It seems that Leon's rehearsal has been cancelled..... (There seem to be some changes in schedule with many performers leaving without descending. Leon was originally scheduled to be the 10th performer but then changed to being the first performer!)


In the concert on 01.05.01, Leon was the first performer. This is a very suitable move since Leon's "Happy 2000" and "Dreams Come True" indeed can bring out the theme and the emotions of the audience. With Leon's "There is no place like home" comment, definitely better than any other gestures!


The very next day, Leon prepares to return to HK. Travelling on the Dragon Airline, the flight landed at 3.35pm. Accompanied by Ah Kai, Chi Chuen, Alvin Wang, Ah Bee and two securities, Leon and Mark walked out of arrival. There were around 30 or so fans with some journalists waiting. One of the fans had a huge photograph taken in the Shanghai concert, which was taken by the security on behalf of Leon. While Leon was on the escalator, he was reading a little note given to him by some fans. He then said he received a lot of letters from fans in Beijing and Shanghai. There were some fans calling Leon from the upper level and Leon looked up towards them and smiled! Outside the airport building, Leon departed in a grey van...... (possibly to continue filming!)
