Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 140 Acting Cool and Handsome
11:22, auspicious time.

All the crew members of "Strange Women of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" gathered in front of the altar and began to offer sacrifices to the gods.

A red carpet has been laid around the altar, and a huge banner with the words "The Opening Ceremony of "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio"" is hung in a prominent position above the altar.

Two rows of big red lanterns were hung on both sides of the red carpet, and reporters who were friendly with Tangren took photos to record this beautiful moment.

The worship of gods upon the start of filming in mainland China is slightly different from that in Taiwan, but they are basically the same.

It’s pretty much the same process.

So Wu Zhuo seemed to be very familiar with the process, following director Lin Yufang and delivering congratulatory speeches and paying homage.

It took almost half an hour to complete the process.

The director then gave red envelopes to everyone.

Everyone had it, including the journalists on both sides who came as witnesses.

Of course, the amount in each person’s red envelope is different.

Some are ten yuan, some are fifty.

For a protagonist like Wu Zhuo, it’s different. Others don’t know, but Wu Zhuo’s is 888.

Everything around was red, and with red envelopes in hand, the atmosphere was festive and lively.

Under the director's arrangement, all the main creators and staff of the crew stood together, held up red envelopes, and took a group photo.

After completing the routine operations of worshipping gods before starting filming, the crew gave Wu Chao and others half an hour for interviews before starting filming.

The interview began, and as one of the biggest stars of the show, Wu Chao inevitably received enthusiastic inquiries from reporters.

“Wu Chao, there are rumors that you were once favored by director John Woo and would star in Red Cliff.

Is this news true?"

"Recently, there was news that Fahrenheit's new album will be released soon. I heard that many songs in the new album were specially created by you for Fahrenheit, and you also divided them into three versions: Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Does this mean that your group intends to enter the Japanese and Korean markets? Are you confident? "

“Liao Zhai has always been a big IP for film and television adaptations. Before you, many domestic actors have starred in this IP.

We see that your character is a scholar, and many actors have performed well in this role. What do you think is the difference between you and them? "

There are many problems, but most of them are on point.

Wu Zhuo responded one by one.

"Regarding Red Cliff, I can tell you with certainty that I did not act in this drama."

“This journalist friend asked about Fahrenheit. Yes, Fahrenheit’s new album has been completed and will be released in April.

I did participate in the production of several songs in this album, and they are all songs that fit well with Fahrenheit.

I believe that fans will like this album after it is released.

As for entering Japan and South Korea, Fahrenheit does have this idea, but the details will depend on the follow-up of the album."

"I have always loved Liao Zhai, and I feel deeply honored to play a role in this IP.

Compared with other actors, I believe there will be differences, and it depends on the audience's evaluation."

The half-hour interview passed quickly.

The reporters were reluctantly asked to leave the crew, and Wu Chao and others took a short break before starting today's filming.

Wu Chao is in the first scene today.

In the setting of this play, Feng Sheng has a special physique and pure yang energy, which easily attracts demons and monsters.

This scene is about Feng Sheng playing the piano on the mountain, attracting many monsters. He is followed to the piano shop by a wolf monster, who wants to suck his yang energy. He is rescued by Xin Shisinian who notices something is wrong on the way.

"All departments prepare... Aciton..."

"OK, Wu Zhuo performed well, but keep one more."

"Cut, Liu Shishi, your expression is wrong. You have to remember that when you were talking to Feng Sheng, there was a wolf demon next to you that Feng Sheng couldn't see..."

"CUT, this one has passed, get ready to switch!"

Following the director's order, the staff began to pack up and move to the new location. Next they would shoot the fight between Xin Shisinian and the wolf demon in the open area.

Wu Zhuo also left his role and walked to the side to watch the fight between Liu Shishi and the wolf demon. "Ah Zhuo, your performance in this scene is really good. You portrayed Feng Sheng's scholarly temperament perfectly. Your lines and demeanor also fit the role very well."

Chief Director Li Guoli was also there, and he walked over with a smile.

Next to him was Cai Yinong.

"Tomorrow we will film you playing the guqin in the mountains to attract many monsters. You are an expert in this area. What piece of music do you think we should use?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo glanced at Cai Yinong and couldn't help but laugh: "Boss Cai has many musical talents under his command. Boss Cai should have been prepared a long time ago."

Cai Yinong looked a little embarrassed.

She knew that Wu Chao had seen through her intentions.

Seeing that Wu Zhuo saw through her intention, she stopped hiding it and said directly:

“We do have the music prepared, but regarding the interlude in the play, I would like you to write one for us.

You don’t have to worry about the price, we Tang people never skimp on this aspect.”

Wu Zhuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me make it clear first. I won't give you the copyright of the song. I'll just authorize you."

"Of course! We did this with our previous films "Chinese Paladin 1" and "Fairy from the Other Side". The songs for "Fairy from the Other Side" were produced by tank from the same company as you."

Cai Yinong had a bright smile on her face.

"I'm very busy, so I can only write one interlude or theme song. You have to figure out the other songs on your own."

Wu Zhuo is not opposed to writing songs for film and television dramas. As long as the copyright is in his hands, he does not lose money.

Even through the broadcast of TV dramas, the popularity of songs can be increased.

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you!"

Cai Yinong thanked him politely.

After chatting for a few words, Li Guoli and Cai Yinong went about their respective business, and Wu Chao also began to move with the crew.

After the fight between Xin Shisinian and the wolf demon is finished, the crew will move to the street to film the scene where Feng Sheng passes by on the street, and Xin Shisinian sees that he has pure yang energy, and that a demon wants to catch him, so she secretly tries to stop him.

Liu Shishi's fighting scenes were filmed very quickly.

The staff helped to remove the wire from her body.

After removing the wire, she walked towards Wu Zhuo.

"How's my fighting scene? Is it good?" she asked Wu Zhuo with a bit of boasting.

"You have good body flexibility. You can do so many difficult moves on the wire." Wu Zhuo spoke subconsciously.

"Of course, I'm a professional dancer."

Hearing this, Liu Shishi immediately raised her head proudly like a goose.

"You are happy now, but you will suffer later. I have read your scripts, and you have many scenes where you fly around in the sky.

You'll be crying if you hang on wires every day."

Wu Zhuo directly sabotaged the plan.

"I'm still the best, I'm in charge of the literary drama!"

"Hush, you're still acting in a literary role? I just heard some veteran actors nearby say that you're just good at pretending to be cool."

Liu Shishi made a face.

"What's wrong with pretending to be cool? Even so, it's better than just glaring at you..." Wu Zhuo retorted directly.

Wu Chao admitted this.

His current acting skills are indeed still at the stage of pretending to be cool and handsome.

But he is much better than Liu Shishi.

"I didn't just glare!"

When Liu Shishi heard Wu Zhuo say that she could only stare, she was not happy, "The director said that I acted well."

"That's to comfort you!"
