Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 122 Jay Chou

"How much to invest?"

Coming out of the store that was still under renovation, Wu Zhuo asked Calvin Chen.

"Not much, less than two million."

Calvin Chen waved his hand and said, "I can handle your brother myself, you can just invest in the technology, 50-50."

"I have no skills at all. I don't even know how to make oyster omelette at home. My grandma scolds me every day that I'm not cut out to open a shop."

Wu Zhuo didn't want to let Calvin Chen suffer a loss, so he said directly: "Since you said it's 50-50, I'll invest one million.
But first of all, I don’t have time to run a business.”

"It's up to you! If you insist on paying me, I can't do anything about it.

As for the management issues, you don't have to worry, I have hired professionals.

You and I are responsible for paying and taking the money.

It's OK to come over and show up occasionally and sing a song on stage."

Calvin Chen opened his mouth, wanting to refuse Wu Chao's offer of money, but in the end he agreed with Wu Chao.

……

Wu Chao stayed in Taipei for a total of five days, including two days for recording songs and three days for shooting music videos.

On the 24th, Fahrenheit and their group set off for the mainland again, accompanied by their team, to prepare for participating in this year's Global Chinese Chart.

Today, Fahrenheit is not the only one heading to the mainland, tank and SHE are also from the same company.

Tank was nominated for Best New Artist and Popular Song of the Year, while SHE was nominated for Best Group.

In addition to SHE and Tank, on the same flight, Wu Chao and others also met Jay Chou, the strongest competitor for the most popular male singer in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

As soon as Wu Zhuo found his seat and sat down, Jay Chou walked straight towards him and extended his hand.

"I've heard of you for a long time, and I've heard the media mention you a lot recently!"

"Hello, Jaylen!"

Wu Chao naturally couldn't ignore the most popular singer in Taiwan, so he stood up and shook hands with him.

"Little sister, how about we change places? I want to talk to Abel.

You know, we have a lot in common and we might have a lot to talk about.”

After saying hello, Jay Chou did not leave, but looked at Wu Zhuo's assistant Xiao An.

Xiao An looked at Wu Zhuo somewhat panicked.

"You go ahead! I can take care of myself here."

"It's a pity for you this time. If you had debuted a year earlier, you would have been a strong contender for awards such as Best Singer and Most Popular Male Singer with this album."

After Xiao An left, Jay Chou sat down next to Wu Zhuo and started chatting with him.

"I can't help it. The newbies are like this. It will be better next year. Who knows, maybe next year I will not only be a strong competitor for you, but I may even defeat you."

Compared to other people, he speaks politely to Jay Chou.

Wu Chao was somewhat provocative.

"Oh, that's good! I look forward to you defeating me."

Jay Chou raised his eyebrows, “But don’t let yourself fail to even be shortlisted next year.

I have seen many rookies who were very popular in their early days, but few of them can remain popular for a long time. "

This is indeed the truth.

In the entertainment industry, it’s not like you can always be awesome just because you become famous this year.

If there is no long-term output of works, or even if the quality of the works is poor, it will be very easy to be forgotten.

There are so many artists who become popular this year but disappear completely a few years later.

“Others may not be able to keep up with the output of their works, but I won’t. I will only be more successful next year.”

Wu Zhuo perfectly portrays the arrogance of young people.

“All kidding aside, your song ‘Blue and White Porcelain’ is really to my taste.

There are many singers who have followed my trend in recent years, but your song is the only one that I think is okay.

The lyrics are especially well written.”

Jay Chou did not have any dislike for Wu Zhuo because of his arrogance.

On the contrary, I admire it. Why?

Because that's who he is.

This can be seen from his songs. Jay Chou is extremely confident in his songs. He believes that his songs are the best in the world.

How confident is he?

It is said that he would often listen to his previous songs, and then say with an intoxicated look on his face: "This song is so damn well written."

"Okay, that song was actually influenced by you, I admit."

Wu Zhuo felt amused.

"Blue and White Porcelain" was one of Jay Chou's proudest works in his previous life.

But in this life, Wu Zhuo registered him in the Music Association in advance.

As a result, when Jay Chou read it, just because it was not written by him, his thoughts were completely different from his previous life.

In his previous life, he thought it was a masterpiece, but now, he is only willing to give it a pretty good review.

Wu Zhuo could even hear from his tone that he was teasing Wu Zhuo for imitating him.

Wu Chao has no psychological burden about this.

This song originally belongs to you, so it's not shameful to say that I imitated you.

"But I can do more than just imitate you. I'm not your shadow."

Jay Chou wrote a song called "Red Imitation" in his album "Still Fantasy" which is specifically used to satirize his imitators, describing these people as being only his shadow.

"You are a little better than those shadows.

But young man, it's only a little bit better."

Jay Chou made a little gesture.

Wu Zhuo's mouth twitched, and he said directly:

"You are not a god, you are just a few steps ahead of me. Be careful that you, the front wave, will be washed onto the beach by me, the back wave."

"Haha!" Jay Chou laughed, "I don't think that day will ever come."

……

A few hours later, Wu Chao and others landed in Hong Kong, stayed there for a while, and then boarded a flight to Shanghai.

When Fahrenheit came out of Hongqiao Airport, it was already around five in the afternoon.

But this did not affect the large number of fans who were still waiting here to pick them up.

The location of the airport's exit and entry lanes.

As soon as Wu Zhuo and his group came out, the fans who had been waiting here for a long time immediately burst into screams like a tsunami.

“Ahhh…Wu Zhuo…”

"Wu Zhuo, you are the eternal God..."

"Wu Zhuo, ahhhhh..."

Wu Zhuo is accustomed to this kind of scene. When he was in the mainland some time ago, such scenes often occurred at the airport whenever his itinerary was announced.

In comparison, Wu Zun, Jiro Wang, and Calvin Chen were all shocked.

They know that Wu Zhuo is very popular in mainland China.

Especially after Wu Zhuo’s new album was released, I heard that he became the most popular singer in mainland China.

But scenes like today still caught them off guard.

At first glance, one could see that the passage was filled with densely packed fans, divided into several squares by yellow warning tape set up by airport staff.

They were holding a large number of posters and cheering boards about Wu Chao, and when they saw Wu Chao come out, they suddenly burst into screams like a tsunami.

"So, the three of us have become foils?"

Calvin Chen took a quick look, trying to find his own fans among these fans.

The result disappointed him, there was none.

Not to mention his fans, even the group fans of Fahrenheit are only a tiny handful.
