Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 112 Pay him and let him go
"Go slower, don't push, line up properly, that side... yes, that's you, don't push..."

The on-site staff and security guards shouted loudly to maintain order, but no matter how loud they shouted, it was of no avail. There were so many people that their voices were completely drowned out by the noisy screams of the fans.

At this time, Wu Zhuo was holding a book signing event in a commercial plaza in Pudong, Shanghai.

Just half an hour ago, he had sung songs and chatted with fans at the scene, and now he is signing autographs for fans in full swing.

Since "My Personal Style" was released in mainland China and topped the best-selling list, in just three weeks, Wu Chao has become the most popular singer in mainland China during this period.

A month ago, if Fahrenheit was mentioned in mainland China, there must have been a lot of people who knew them, after all, Fahrenheit's song "Only Have Feelings for You" was very popular for several months in the first half of the year.

But if you don’t put Fahrenheit in front of Wu Zhuo, many people will be confused and ask, “Who are you talking about?”

And now...

Whenever Wu Zhuo recalled the scene when he entered the venue, he became extremely excited.

He really became famous.

It is not the kind of data that reflects record data, nor is it the kind of popularity that comes from media marketing, nor is it the kind of popularity that comes from a team hiring a network of internet trolls to post blanket messages, but it is the real support from people in reality.

Crowds of people were shoulder to shoulder, just like a small town market during New Year's Day. The entire square was packed with people.

Looking down from a high altitude, the crowd was a huge black mass, rushing towards one direction like ants on a march, which made people's scalp tingle.

In order to see him, some people even opened the windows of restaurants and shopping malls on the second and third floors of nearby buildings. More than a dozen people crowded around one window, leaned out and shouted wildly.

What made Wu Chao feel the most crazy was that there were several green trees opposite the square, which were also full of people.

Today's book signing event is not actually a public book signing event, but one that has standards.

Fans need to go to designated record stores and retail outlets to purchase the champion edition CD. Only those who are lucky enough will be eligible to draw for admission to the autograph session.

All in all, there are only about a thousand people qualified to enter and sign today.

This means that among the densely packed crowd around, a large number of fans actually gathered here just to catch a glimpse of Wu Chao.

To be honest, Wu Chao was very excited that so many people completely blocked the entire street just to see him.

But along with the excitement, there is also a lot of pressure.

There were so many people that he himself was a little scared.

When entering the venue just now, the crazy fans almost squeezed through the security protection and attacked Wu Chao.

In addition, he is also worried about the situation of the fans themselves.

He was afraid that the fans would get too excited and cause someone to fall and something bad would happen.

Fortunately, the square where he held the event was not far from the Pudong Traffic Police Brigade.

At around eight o'clock, people were sent over to help maintain order.

With their help, this book signing event was able to go on smoothly.

“Thank you so much for your support!”

After seeing off the fan in front of him, Wu Zhuo put down his pen, rubbed his sore wrist, and continued to wait for the next fan to come.

Soon, a chubby little girl stood in front of him.

"Hello!" Wu Zhuo greeted her with a smile.

The little girl was about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was wearing a school uniform and a bow on her hair. Her round face was full of excitement and nervousness.

"Xiaoyu, I...I like you so much!"

Xu Anan hated herself so much. She had clearly memorized what she was going to say to Wu Zhuo by heart when she came here.

But when she saw Wu Zhuo up close, she angrily discovered that she had forgotten all the words she had memorized and her mind was blank.

Seeing this fan standing there in a daze, not handing over the album for Wu Zhuo to sign, a staff member nearby immediately shouted:
"Hurry up, don't you see there are so many people behind you? If you delay the signing of the people behind you, you..."

Hearing the staff's scolding, Xu Anan's face turned pale and she handed over the album with some shame. At this moment, she couldn't remember a word of what she wanted to say.

"shut up!"

A cold voice suddenly sounded, causing Xu Anan to raise her head.

The scene she saw made her heart beat fast and her little face flushed with excitement.

Wu Zhuo stood up with a frosty face and pointed at the staff member.

"Who hired you?" Wu Zhuo turned to look at his assistant Xiao An, "Didn't I tell you before that when you're looking for security, don't look for this kind of guy?"

“It was the organizer who found it.”

Xiao An saw the anger on Wu Zhuo's face and hurriedly explained.

"Pay him his wages and let him go."

Taking a deep breath, Wu Zhuo suppressed the anger in his heart.

In his previous life, he had seen many security personnel from celebrity teams use foul language and physical contact with fans, and some even thought they were superior to others.

This kind of team is what Wu Chao hates the most.

I never expected that one day, such a person would appear in my team.

Indeed, this person was not actually part of his team, but just a temporary staff member hired to maintain order.

But his arrogant and superior attitude really made Wu Chao feel sick.

"I'm sorry, many of the staff on site were hired temporarily. He might have scared you just now. I apologize to you on his behalf."

After hearing Wu Chao's instructions, Xiao An immediately asked someone to replace the staff member.

After watching him leave, Wu Zhuo turned around and apologized to the girl in front of him.

"It's okay!" Xu Anan stared at Wu Zhuo with her eyes fixed.

At this moment, she felt so safe.

At the same time, his favorable impression of Wu Zhuo could not help but increase again.

"Brother Xiaoyu, I really like you. I started following you when you guys from Fahrenheit released your album in the first half of the year.

I also attended your book signing event in Shanghai.

Later I joined your QQ fan group.

We all like you very much. Everyone in our group is so excited about your album release this time.

In order to win the chance to attend your autograph session, I bought 23 records and finally got the chance. Many people in the group envy me. "

Xu Anan didn't know what was going on, but suddenly, she was not so nervous anymore and said a lot in one breath.

"Thank you! I really appreciate your support."

Wu Zhuo was a little shocked. Buying twenty-three tickets at once was not a small amount of money.

The prices of genuine albums are also different.

The prices vary from singer to singer.

At the same time, genuine albums are also divided into different versions.

Take Wu Chao's album for example, there are four versions in Taiwan and three versions in mainland China.

These three versions are genuine CDs that only contain the audio source.

DVD version with sound and images.

And the Champion Edition.

The so-called champion version is actually a special edition produced after the album or the songs in the album win the championship in a certain list.

In addition to the good sound quality of the song and the MV images, this version also comes with some personal cards of Wu Chao.

To qualify for this signing, you need to purchase the Champion Edition and then participate in a lottery to be eligible for an autograph.

The price of this version is as high as 68 RMB per copy.

Twenty-three tickets would cost 1564 yuan.

This amount of money, as of 2006, is almost equivalent to one or two months' salary for an average adult.

"Brother Xiaoyu, this is what we should do, we will always protect you.

You must keep working hard, they all say you are not as good as Jay Chou and Leehom Wang.

Those people are blind, how can they understand your talent? "
