Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 174 Song Nominations
“Speaking of which, Fahrenheit has been really popular recently, and you can be seen everywhere in the media and on the Internet.

I also saw photos released by the media yesterday. You held events in Japan and South Korea, and there were at least a thousand people around each event.

It’s just horrible.”

Being popular and well-known is a symbol of status in the entertainment industry.

At this time, there was no so-called contempt chain for idol traffic stars.

During this period, if you are popular, no matter you are a singer or a star, people in the circle will respect and flatter you wherever you go.

Although the crew of "Magic Sword: Life and Death Chess" has not yet reached the point where someone is fawning over Wu Chao.

But at the dinner table, almost no one was talking about Wu Chao.

Liu Tao, in particular, was very interested in the popularity of Fahrenheit in Japan and South Korea.

Plus, she was a rather direct person, so she kept looking for various topics to talk to Wu Chao about.

Sitting next to Wu Zhuo was Guo Biting. Seeing Liu Tao constantly finding topics to talk to Wu Zhuo, she immediately became alert.

But in front of so many people in the crew, he did not dare to declare his sovereignty to Wu Chao.

He just glanced at Wu Zhuo from time to time.

Wu Zhuo also noticed Guo Biting's actions.

So I chatted less with Liu Tao and took the initiative to talk to Ray Lui about some acting techniques.

Compared to Shao Bing, the movie emperor.

Wu Zhuo is much closer to Ray Lui.

There's no way around it. Although they are both from Hong Kong and Taiwan, they obviously have a lot more topics.

……

Wu Zhuo joined the crew of "Magic Sword: Life and Death Chess" quietly.

I didn’t want the reporters to know about this, so I just wanted to finish the shoot quietly.

But the powerful journalists are really amazing.

In less than two days, the news that he was filming in Wuxi was exposed.

As a result, the number of reporters lurking outside the crew, who were originally few in number, suddenly increased.

Originally, on Wu Chao's first day, there were only two or three reporters outside the crew.

As soon as he joined the crew, there would be at least a dozen or twenty reporters from different media outlets from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau waiting at the door of the crew every day.

Whenever Wu Zhuo appears, these reporters would rush over, surround him and ask him various questions.

A few days after reporters photographed Wu Chao filming in Wuxi, the thing Wu Chao was most worried about happened.

A large number of fans began to appear in front of the crew's door.

All young girls.

They would wait outside the crew, and when they saw Wu Chao appear, they would scream loudly or even cry, and then surround Wu Chao to ask for his autograph and take photos.

It is not surprising that fans are waiting at the door of the crew. Most popular stars will encounter this kind of thing.

But Wu Zhuo was too passionate.

No, it should be said that the entire Fahrenheit is very popular.

Their success in penetrating Japan and South Korea and becoming popular across Asia has made them extremely popular in China.

How popular was Wu Zhuo in Fahrenheit at that time?
Fans outside the "Magic Sword: Life and Death Chess" crew can get a glimpse of the truth.

Every morning before eight o'clock, there would be no less than two to three hundred fans gathered in front of the crew's door.

They are all from nearby cities.

Some are still in school and just skipped classes to come here, while others are spirited young ladies who have just entered society and are non-mainstream.

These fans follow the crew almost wherever they go.

And this caused trouble for Wu Chao.

Many scenes of "The Magic Sword: Life and Death Chess" need to be filmed in nearby scenic spots and mountains. These places have no barriers to stop fans.

This directly led to a large number of fans gathering near the crew when Wu Chao was filming.

When they see Wu Zhuo, they will scream and shout loudly to attract his attention.

Even when filming.

This made director Li Chuanfeng very anxious.

The most taboo thing when shooting is often being disturbed.

The presence of these fans forced the crew to arrange staff to watch them at all times to prevent them from rushing into the filming scene and affecting the filming.

This directly led to a serious shortage of crew members, causing the filming process to slow down again and again.

Finally, in order not to affect the filming of the crew, Wu Chao had to come forward and spend half an hour every morning signing autographs for fans and then persuading them not to follow the crew.

But to be honest, this effect is not very good.

While the idol identity brings benefits, disadvantages also begin to emerge, and many fans are very extreme.

Even if Wu Zhuo showed up, he couldn't stop them from following the crew to see Wu Zhuo, or even sneaking into the filming scene.

In fact, the craziest experience Wu Chao had ever encountered was that a fan somehow sneaked into his hotel room and hid under the bed.

If Wu Zhuo hadn't arranged for someone to check the room every time he entered it, he felt that he might wake up in the middle of the night and find someone lying next to him.

Fortunately, after realizing that they could not get rid of Wu Chao's fans, the crew spent a lot of money and hired more than 30 security guards.

During each filming, security guards were asked to surround the crew to prevent fans from appearing directly in the camera.

However, this situation on track did not last long.

On the 26th, the Office of the Organizing Committee of the Olympic Song Collection and Selection Campaign sent a message to Wu Chao.

His songs "Welcome to BJ", "Love Each Other" and "Beijing Welcomes You" were all shortlisted for the first round of the Olympic song collection.

Among them, because Wu Zhuo's Fahrenheit has been very popular in Japan and South Korea recently, the organizing committee decided to let Wu Zhuo record the song "Welcome to BJ".

The organizing committee will contact the distribution company to promote this song overseas and publicize this round of Beijing Olympics.

After receiving the news, Wu Zhuo had to take leave from the crew and rush to BJ.

He needs to go there to sign a song transfer contract, and will also record and shoot "Welcome to BJ" under the arrangement of the organizing committee.

Among them, a song transfer contract is required.

This information was announced when the selection campaign began. All selected songs must sign a contract and transfer the songs to the Olympic Organizing Committee.

Simply put, if you are selected, your song will be submitted to the country.

From now on, even if you want to sing yourself, you must apply to the relevant department.

"Hello, this is Wu Chao! Thank you very much for your support to our Olympic Organizing Committee.

Some of your songs are really good.

We need to record the song "Welcome to BJ" as a single to promote the Olympics abroad.

You are the author and the singer. This song is not suitable for a chorus, so we specially invited you to sing it solo. "

At the Olympic Song Collection Office, Wu Chao met Wang Pingjiu, Director of the Cultural Activities Department of the Organizing Committee of the 29th Olympic Games.

This famous domestic male director, lyricist, planner, and large-scale event expert spoke very politely. After meeting Wu Zhuo, he politely invited Wu Zhuo to his office.

“In fact, we originally didn’t plan to use your song because it’s in English.

But then we considered that the Olympics is not just a grand event for our country, but a grand event for the whole world.

By then, there will surely be countless foreigners gathering in BJ.

In this case, it is absolutely appropriate to have an English song to promote the welcome of these foreigners, so we shortlisted your song.

And invite you to sing solo. "
