Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 11 Shooting
Braised pork rice in a restaurant.

Jiro Wang is still talking:

"Jay chose to take Leopard in the car, and said: Oh, that's great, Leopard, get in the car!

Jay Chou continued driving, and soon encountered another elephant, which stopped the car.

But this time, Jay Chou did not carry the elephant.

The elephant asked angrily, "Why did you carry the lion and the leopard but not me?"

Wu Zhuo's mouth twitched. He probably understood the twist of this cold joke, but he still cooperated and asked: "Why not carry an elephant?"

"Jay said: I don't want to carry an elephant, I don't want to carry an elephant..."

Jiro Wang sang "Tornado" while shaking his body.

Seeing this, Wu Zhuo couldn't help but burst out laughing. He laughed not because the joke was funny, but because the joke was so bad.

It was bad, really bad. Wu Chao had never heard such a bad joke.

“Hahaha! Isn’t it funny?” Jiro Wang flicked his hair in a childish way.

"It is not funny."

"How could that be? Every time I tell this joke, everyone laughs. Why would you laugh if it's not funny?"

“Because it sucks!”

"What the hell, mine is terrible, you can come up with a better one."

"I'm afraid that if I tell you, you won't tell jokes anymore. I'm afraid you'll be offended."

"I don't believe it. I've never lost a joke before. Tell me."

"Okay, then let me test you. There are three treasures in the Northeast. Do you know what they are?"

"This is too simple! Ginseng, mink fur, and Ula grass."

"Yes, that's right. Then, what are the three treasures of human beings?"

“Um, I don’t know about that.”

"Sausages, meatballs, a bunch of grass, and women also have three treasures, you know?"

“This…” Jiro Wang had some doubts.

“It’s the Pearl Scallop Mimosa!”

Jiro Wang: “…”

……

In the early morning, the sun rises shyly, casting down gentle light.

Wu Zhuo yawned and got up from the bed.

He went to a bar with Jiro Wang last night and stayed out late, so he almost couldn't get up today.

After quickly washing up, Wu Chao said hello to his grandma and rode his motorcycle towards Avex Records.

Today is the day for filming Cyndi Wang’s MV.

He needs to come here to meet up with the MV shooting crew.

"Ah Zhuo, here!"

When Wu Chao arrived, Huang Zekai had already arrived.

He is now considered Wu Zhuo's assistant agent.

Although Chen Huiying is an agent, she is only responsible for contacting Wu Chao for work.

Normally, unless it is an important project, she will not accompany them and will leave it to Huang Zekai.

For Huang Zekai to be his assistant agent.

Wu Zhuo agreed, but also felt a little regretful.

Compared to men, he prefers to have a beautiful woman as his assistant. At least, she is pleasing to the eyes.

At the entrance of Avex Records, in addition to Huang Zekai, director Zhang Yuankui was also there, along with a dozen other staff members.

In terms of the size of the staff, the investment in this MV is quite large.

That’s right. Cyndi Wang is very popular now, so her new album is naturally highly valued. A dozen or so is actually quite normal.

Wu Chao remembered that Jay Chou was also shooting a music video recently, and one time he chose to shoot it on the streets of Taipei. There were more than 20 security guards alone, and even more other staff and equipment.

After Wu Zhuo arrived, he went to say hello to director Zhang Yuankui first.

But the other party didn't like him very much and didn't even look at him.

Seeing this, Wu Zhuo didn't go up to make trouble anymore.

After the staff loaded the equipment onto the car, the group got on the car and headed for the suburbs.

The MV shooting location was divided into two places, one was Avex Records’ own dance studio, and the other was in the suburbs.

Wu Zhuo's scenes were all set in the suburbs, so he and the crew went there early.

After the crew arrived at the shooting location, they immediately began to set up the equipment and the scenes they needed. Wu Zhuo also helped move the equipment.

By the time they were done, the sun had already set, but Wang Xinling hadn't come yet, so Wu Zhuo and the others could only find a spot on the lawn to sit and chat.

"The Ultimate Class has confirmed the time to join the crew. They will officially join on the 7th and start filming on the 8th."

On the lawn, Wu Chao and Huang Zekai lay on each side, counting the clouds floating in the sky.

"Do I need to prepare anything?"

Wu Zhuo asked, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth.

"No need, just be energetic and perform well, and try to leave a good impression on the audience."

After a pause, Huang Zekai said solemnly: "This first play is very important for newcomers, and I will watch this play many times in the future.

Jiro Wang’s performance in “It Started with a Kiss” was pretty good.

The company checked and found that many viewers had a good impression of his role.

That is why the script of the play was revised to give him the leading role.

If you perform well in this drama, the company will continue to give you more resources for the next one.

If it’s not good, you may not be given good resources in a short period of time.”

Wu Zhuo nodded subconsciously. This was true.

Even though his contract with the company stipulated that there must be at least one third male partner per year.

But if he doesn't live up to his expectations, the value of this third male lead will naturally decrease.

On the contrary, if he performs well and even gains a large number of fans, then let alone the third male lead, even the first male lead position will be chosen by Wu Chao.

"I will work hard."

As we were chatting, there was a sudden noise from not far away.

Many staff members were running over there, it seemed that it was Cyndi Wang who was coming.

Wu Zhuo also ran over to join in the fun and saw Wang Xinling at first sight.

She drove a red supercar and wore a white miniskirt, which attracted a lot of attention.

Wang Xinling takes the sweet route, whether it’s her songs or her dressing style.

This style was an important factor in her becoming popular in the Chinese music scene within a year or two.

"She is indeed very pretty, but a little short."

Huang Zekai stood next to Wu Zhuo. He was staring at Wang Xinling with shining eyes, but he was saying words of disdain.

Wu Chao did not comment.

From an aesthetic point of view, he quite likes sweet girls like Cyndi Wang.

But he remembered that Wang Xinling seemed to have a boyfriend during this period of time.

A scumbag.

In their previous life, in 2006, the two broke up for unknown reasons, and that guy not only spread Wang Xinling's half-naked photos all over the Internet.

He also spread the word that Wang Xinling had been with him since she was 17 years old, but in fact she was no longer a virgin when she was with him.

A very bad person.

But now he is Cyndi Wang’s boyfriend.

Wu Zhuo didn't want to get involved.

After Wang Xinling arrived, the crew immediately began to prepare for filming.

I first took a few personal shots of Cyndi Wang.

Then Wu Chao came on stage.

In fact, he doesn't have many shots.

There are only about twenty shots in total, which add up to less than a minute.

This is not the final editing result. After further editing, it may be even less.

But that's what music videos are.

This is Wang Xinling's MV shooting, so the priority is definitely to focus on her.

As for the male lead like Wu Zhuo.

He is said to be the male lead, but in fact he is just a tool to highlight Wang Xinling.

"Wu Zhuo, remember to look at Miss Wang when you hug her."

"Ms. Wang, I need you to look at me with admiration."

"Be gentler in your eyes, yes, yes, that's it."

"Camera, focus on the heroine. The hero only needs to show half of his body, but don't let his face appear in the camera. He steals the show too much."
