Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 118 Global Chinese Chart Promotion Activities
While waiting, Chen Huiying went to communicate with the organizer about some details of the event and also inquired about his chances of winning the award.

Wu Zhuo was resting there alone.

He just rushed here today from Chengdu after a book signing event.

As soon as he got off the plane, he rushed to the scene without stopping.

He was very tired now, and let the stylist play with his hair while he closed his eyes and felt drowsy.

After a while, Chen Huiying came back and sat down opposite him.

"I asked around and found out that you can win at least two awards this time, both of which are quite important."

Chen Huiying said with a slightly regretful look, "What a pity, you are a newcomer, otherwise with your influence this year, if you were a veteran singer, you would even have a chance to compete for the Most Popular Male Singer."

The Chinese music scene, no, the music scene around the world, has an unwritten rule.

That is, generally speaking, it is very unlikely for a newcomer to win awards such as Best Actor and Best Singer in the first year.

Wu Zhuo suffered this kind of loss this year.

If he were a singer who has debuted for a few years, he would have a 100% chance of competing with Jay Chou, Leehom Wang and others for the most popular male singer, given his popularity this year.

As a result, just because he was a newcomer, he missed out on these major awards.

"If there is no chance this year, I will try next year. I still have confidence in myself."

Wu Zhuo opened his eyes and tightened the blanket around his body.

It is very cold in Beijing in December. The weather today is slightly better and we can still see the sun, but it is still inevitably a bit cold indoors.

At this time, there was a commotion not far away. Wu Zhuo and others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young woman wearing sunglasses walking in surrounded by several people.

Chen Huiying smacked her lips, "This Jane Zhang is very popular! I see there are a lot of her fans out there, her popularity is almost catching up with yours."

I looked at the order of appearance later, and she will be in front of you."

"The top three Super Girl contestants are all very popular, especially the first place winner, Chris Lee. Last time you went back to Taipei to take care of something, I was attending an event in Shenzhen, and Chris Lee was there too.

She has even more followers than I do.”

From last year to this year, if you were to ask who is the most popular person in the entire mainland.

There is no doubt that Li Yuchun is definitely on the list.

Although she is a newcomer like Wu Zhuo, Jay Chou is half as famous and popular as her in mainland China.

During this period, artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan who attended events in the Mainland were inherently treated better than artists from the Mainland.

But this convention was completely broken by Li Yuchun.

Wu Zhuo has participated in activities with mainland artists before, including some very popular groups in the mainland like Yu Quan.

But without exception, Wu Zhuo has always been in the center position.

The only exception is Li Yuchun. In that event, Wu Chao and Li Yuchun were the double C.

You have to know that the event was not simply an event for mainland companies to promote their talents, but an event involving funds from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Even Hong Kong and Taiwan companies acknowledge Li Yuchun's current strength and are willing to put her on par with Wu Zhuo. You can imagine how popular she is now.

Wu Zhuo has never met Super Girl runner-up Zhou Bichang, but I heard that her popularity is not inferior to Li Yuchun, and fans of both sides are fighting fiercely online and offline.

"Brother Wu! Hello, I'm Joker Xue."

Wu Zhuo was chatting with Chen Huiying about interesting things about Super Girl when another singer came in at the invitation of the organizer.

The other party was very polite. After coming in, he started to greet the artists who arrived earlier one by one. After a while, he came to Wu Zhuo. What made Wu Zhuo embarrassed was that this guy called him "brother" as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I'm younger than you. I would feel embarrassed if you called me like that." Because it was impolite to talk to someone while sitting, Wu Chao took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with him.

Why do Hong Kong and Taiwan artists have such a bad reputation in mainland China?
The biggest reason, of course, is that the film pay and appearance fees of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists are generally higher than those of mainland artists.

The reason for profit leads to hatred.

Then, there is another reason, which is that artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan are usually condescending when facing artists from the mainland.

Not only the artists, but also the teams behind them are like this.

Sometimes, a small assistant of a Hong Kong or Taiwan artist even dares to point at a mainland artist and curse at him.

Wu Chao cannot change the behavior of other people in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but he himself can be polite and humble.

No matter who he faces, be it a big boss, a small fry, or an ordinary staff member, he never acts superior, but fully maintains his own manners.

Wu Zhuo's initiative to stand up and his humble tone made Xue Zhiqian's eyes light up.

He made his debut as one of the top four in Super Boy last year. After his debut, he released his first album "Xue Zhiqian" in June this year. This album achieved very good results and gave him the opportunity to participate in many awards and activities.

He has previously participated in the New Town Mandarin Power Awards Ceremony in Hong Kong and the Singapore Global Chinese Songs Chart Awards Ceremony. At these awards ceremony, he met many Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

However, due to his mainland Chinese identity, every time he went to greet these singers, he was either responded with condescension or simply ignored.

Therefore, when he saw Wu Zhuo just now, he just wanted to come over and say hello and then leave.

Unexpectedly, Wu Chao's attitude was different from that of the Hong Kong and Taiwan singers he had met before.

This immediately made him want to make friends.

So, he took the initiative to open the topic:

"Your album 'My Personal Style' is really great. When I first listened to it, my first thought was, whose collection is this?"

"Your song 'Serious Snow' is also good. The lyrics and melody are very touching."

Wu Zhuo then took the initiative to say, "Let's exchange contact information! We can talk about creation together when we have the chance.

I think we might have a lot in common.”

"I am far behind you. I still need to learn more from you."

Xue Zhiqian humbly took out his phone and exchanged numbers with Wu Zhuo.

The two chatted for a few more sentences before Xue Zhiqian said goodbye to Wu Zhuo, went to say hello to other people, and then put on makeup.

Maybe it was because he saw Xue Zhiqian chatting enthusiastically with Wu Zhuo.

Originally, because of Wu Chao's identity as a Hong Kong and Taiwan person, people thought he was difficult to deal with, so other people who didn't want to ask for trouble began to take the initiative to come over and chat with Wu Chao.

Wu Zhuo never refuses anyone who comes to him. He chats with everyone and even takes the initiative to mention the other person's representative work.

"Abel, you are too easygoing. You have never heard of these people. Why bother giving them so much nonsense?"

After everyone left, the stylist who had delayed Wu Zhuo's styling because he was chatting with other people couldn't help but complain.

Wu Zhuo looked back at him and was too lazy to pay attention to him.

It is because most people in Hong Kong and Taiwan are like him that the mainland circles will generally exclude the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles in the future.

"Okay, Allen, don't say anything about Wu Zhuo's affairs, just focus on your styling."

Chen Huiying glared at the stylist.
