Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 103 Recognition from Jay Chou
Many people may be curious about how Lin Chi-ling became so popular. How could she, who has no works, become the most beautiful woman in Taiwan?

Wu Zhuo knows the answer to this question.

He also has a lot to say.

Because there was a copy of "FHM" magazine next to his bed.

Yes, Lin Chi-ling’s popularity is inseparable from this magazine that men read privately.

In 2000, after leaving Fulong Company, Lin Chi-ling signed with Catwalk Model Agency and became a full-time model.

With the help of the Catwalk Model Agency, she got some TV hosting opportunities and shooting opportunities for soft magazines such as FHM.

Men's Gang, this magazine is very popular in both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau.

Her photos on FHM really attracted a lot of men.

Everyone was attracted by her shock wave.

In 2004 and 2005, she won the first place in the Taiwan Province Top Beauties Selection for two consecutive years.

It is for this reason that, with the help of this selection and the media hype, Lin Chi-ling became the most popular female star in Taiwan in just a few years.

On the sales list of photo books published in Taiwan this year.

The group photo of Fahrenheit ranked first on the male list, while Lin Chi-ling ranked first on the female list.

Wu Chao didn't chat too much with Lin Chiling. After saying hello, he took the initiative to find Sun Yang to discuss filming issues.

Regarding the shooting of the MV, although there is no script, there is still a shooting plan.

Wu Zhuo took a quick look and couldn't help frowning.

"Director Sun, this is not a Category III film!"

In Sun Yang's plan, Lin Chiling will be very exposed.

Wu Zhuo didn't care whether Lin Chiling would agree or not.

Lin Chi-ling started out by filming Men's Gang, and at that time she was not yet completely popular.

Her most popular period should be from 08 to 12. Jay Chou and Andy Lau both chose her as the leading actress...

Nowadays, Lin Chi-ling is most popular in Taiwan and has a little fame in mainland China.

Therefore, she would definitely not refuse to shoot a more revealing MV.

After all, she herself does not reject this.

What Wu Zhuo cares about is whether this will affect his image.

His fan base tends to be younger.

This kind of soft pornographic MV is not suitable for them to watch.

"It should be fine! Lin Chiling's audience is..."

"This is my MV, it's for me, not for her. Director Sun, you've shot so many MVs, don't you understand this?"

Wu Zhuo interrupted him, "Director Sun, we worked very well together before, so I recommended you this time.

But if you are in this state, it will be difficult for me to do it. "

Hearing this, Sun Yang could not help but remain silent.

It's not that he doesn't understand.

The main reason was that after he saw Lin Chi-ling, he couldn't help but want to take pictures of her in a more artistic way.

What is art?

Of course the human body is art.

"I'll change the plan right away." After a brief silence, Sun Yang took the shooting plan from Wu Chao.

"What do you think?"

"It can be a little sexy, but not pornographic. My album will not only be released in Taiwan, but also in mainland China. If it is too extreme, it may result in the album not being released."

Wu Zhuo waved to Lin Chiling who was smiling at him and said, "Don't dress too revealingly."

"I understand!" Sun Yang nodded, but still felt a little regretful. "What a pity! If it was shot according to my idea, this MV would definitely win an award."

Wu Zhuo's mouth twitched, "That's not an MV, it's a pornographic short film."

It was only today that Wu Chao discovered that Sun Yang actually had the potential to be a pornographic director.

The MV is not a big-budget movie, so the shooting plan can be modified in just a few minutes. After modifying the shooting plan, Sun Yang immediately went to talk to Lin Chiling and changed her clothes to be more conservative than before.

Then the shooting began.

Wu Chao did not film his lip-syncing part right away, but watched from the side.

Well! He mainly admired Lin Chiling's figure.

Especially the shockwave...

……

Taking time constraints into consideration, Wu Zhuo started shooting several MVs almost simultaneously.

In several MVs, Wu Zhuo appeared more frequently except in "Dawn" and "Nuan Nuan".

The other MVs all feature lip syncing.

Just like Stefanie Sun’s previous MV, the male and female protagonists were Wu Zhuo and Guo Biting, and she only appeared in a few lip-syncing shots.

Also because Wu Zhuo had few scenes, it only took him about a week to finish filming the MV that was to be shot in Taiwan.

In several MVs, Huayan really kept its word and invited several well-known female protagonists for him.

In addition to Lin Chi-ling, "Thinking Too Much" also invited Chen Qiaoen.

The heroine of "Rice Fragrance" is Jiro Wang's rumored girlfriend Tiffany Hsu.

"Nuan Nuan" was starred by Guo Biting, who was recommended by Wu Zhuo.

Then another song "Cool Love" and "The Kiss is Too Real".

These two songs are different versions. For the female lead of the MV, Huayan invited Gillian Chung, a member of Twins from Emperor Entertainment Group.

Because her career focus is in Hong Kong, in order to meet her schedule, Huayan personally arranged for a filming team to go to Hong Kong to shoot her scenes.

……

In mid-September, Wu Chao rarely appeared in the media.

However, there is no shortage of news about him.

"Smile Pasta" is still on the air and its ratings continue to top all idol dramas of the same period.

He is also one of the most popular idols currently.

At the same time, on September 5th, the drama "Queen of Love" starring Zhuo Wenxuan was broadcast.

Although the ratings of this drama were average, the highest rating was only 1.4.

But the ending song of this TV series, "You Are a Song in My Heart", became popular in Taiwan.

The song was released along with the soundtrack of "Queen of Love" after the TV series aired.

In the second week after its release, it ranked ninth on the HITO chart thanks to its beautiful melody.

This is another song by Wu Chao that ranks in the top ten of the HITO chart, following "Only Have Feelings for You", "Onion" and "The Day After Tomorrow".

Four songs he wrote and sang within one year ranked in the top ten of the list, which once again triggered a discussion about Wu Chao as a talented songwriter.

Maybe the power accumulated from the previous songs is strong enough.

After this song topped the charts, the discussion about Wu Chao's talent was no longer limited to the media and netizens.

Instead, some well-known creators and musicians began to recognize Wu Chao.

Because "You Are a Song in My Heart" surpassed "The Seventh Chapter of the Night" and climbed to the ninth place.

This was the first time Jay Chou was asked by the media about his opinion on Wu Chao's creative work.

“In fact, I had paid attention to him before.

I remember it was December last year when my partner Vincent Fang suddenly found me one day and said that someone at the association had registered a Chinese-style song with amazing lyrics.

I checked out the song later.

That song is really well written, both the melody and the lyrics are great.

When my agent found out about this, he asked someone to find out the songwriter of the song, wanting to sign him, but after asking around, he found out that he had signed with HIM Records.

As for his songs, I think they are pretty good! Among the new creative talents in recent years, he should be considered one of the best. "
