Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 177 Return to the Crew
"Wu Zhuo, raise your head a little higher. Yes, that's right. You are not the only one representing this MV. When it is released..."

Next to the Great Wall, the MV of "Welcome to BJ" is being filmed intensively.

This is already the third day of filming this MV. In the past few days, we have been shooting at several famous scenic spots in BJ.

After finishing the filming here today, Wu Chao will almost be able to finish the filming of this MV.

After shooting a scene, Wu Chao left the camera and came to the director's position to look at the picture.

He was seen standing on the Great Wall wearing a very Chinese-style Tang suit, with the breeze blowing his hair up. Behind him, a bustling city could be vaguely seen.

"It's a good shot. Just add a few more shots and your scene will be complete. Take a break first. We'll change the camera position and you can rehearse the lyrics from that position later."

Wang Pingjiu patted Wu Zhuo on the shoulder with a look of satisfaction.

"You are an angel among demons"

"So send me a broken heart"

"It makes me laugh until the last second..."

Wu Zhuo stepped aside to rest, and just as he sat down, he heard someone playing his song "Angel in the Devil" next to him.

No, it’s not his version of “Angel in the Devil”, but Yang Zongwei.

At the beginning of the year, Taiwan Provincial Television held a talent show called "Super Star Avenue".

The show caused quite a stir after it was broadcast.

Several contestants on the show, including Yoga Lin, Albert Yang, and Jam Hsiao, became famous overnight thanks to this show.

Among them, Lin Youjia's cover of Yu Xiaohuangqi's "You Are My Eyes" and Yang Zongwei's cover of Wu Zhuo's "Angel in the Devil" on the show were the most popular.

It is not only popular in Taiwan, but has also spread to mainland China, where it is widely sung.

Sometimes, having too many good songs in an album is not always a good thing.

Wu Zhuo suffered this kind of loss.

After the release of the album "My Personal Style", it became a huge hit.

Although there are several most popular songs, there are also several that are buried.

This song "Angel in the Devil" is like that.

Although there were still quite a few people who listened to it, its popularity was incomparable to that in the previous life.

Wu Chao even thought about finding a program with good ratings to sing a few times to promote it.

As a result, before he even made a move, Yang Zongwei covered the song on the show and it became popular all over the country.

This also has certain benefits for Wu Zhuo.

First of all, the song was covered and became popular, which to a certain extent showed the market's recognition of him.

Moreover, when new artists cover his songs, they can quickly wash away the traces of being a newcomer on him and allow him to move to a higher position in the music industry.

The most important thing is that the copyright of this song is in the hands of Wu Chao.

After "Super Star Avenue" uses the song, it needs to pay Wu Chao copyright fees.

Not only the copyright fees for use, but if "Super Star Avenue" wants to release a contestant's version of the record in the future, it must also get distribution authorization from Wu Chao.

At the same time, for every CD they release, Wu Chao can get a certain percentage of copyright fees as the copyright owner.

This was also one of the main sources of income for song copyrights during this period.

In addition to TV variety shows like this that require payment for the use of songs, other radio and television stations that use songs also need to pay a certain amount of copyright fees every year.

"Hurry up and turn off your crappy MP3 player."

When Wu Zhuo sat down to rest, he glanced at the staff member who was playing "Angel in the Devil" on his MP3 player.

He himself did not notice that Wu Zhuo was looking at him, but the person next to him noticed it and pushed that person.

"It's break time now, what's wrong with me listening to some music?"

"What's wrong, you idiot? Don't you see who's in front of you? He's the original singer of the song you're listening to. What's the big deal about you listening to someone else's cover in front of him?"

"Ah, this song was originally sung by Wu Zhuo? I didn't know that..."

The sound of several staff members talking in low voices came over. Wu Zhuo couldn't help but smile.

He is not that stingy.

Picking up the entertainment newspaper next to him, he glanced at the headline.

Coincidentally, the headline of the newspaper was about him.

[The Olympic Organizing Committee will release an Olympic promotion song in May, and Fahrenheit member Wu Chao will sing one song exclusively]

When Wu Zhuo started recording "Welcome to BJ", the Olympic Organizing Committee also officially announced that he would sing a promotional song as an individual.

This incident caused quite a stir on the Internet.

After all, so far, among all the promotional songs released by the Olympic Organizing Committee, the only one sung solo is by Wu Chao.

Although this year, people on the Internet have gradually begun to accept the reality that Wu Zhuo is a great talent.

But in the eyes of many people, he is still a newcomer.

Now, even Jay Chou failed to get the solo singing spot for the Olympic promotional song, but Wu Chao got it, which inevitably put Wu Chao in the spotlight again.

The voices that originally questioned him gradually emerged again.

The situation in the mainland is not so bad, the main problem still focuses on whether he is qualified.

On the contrary, the Taiwanese people were very dissatisfied with Wu Chao singing a promotional song for the Olympic Games.

Wu Zhuo contacted Jiro Wang yesterday.

According to Jiro Wang, the Liberty Times has started to fan the flames again, portraying Wu Chao as a traitor, causing many netizens to criticize Wu Chao online.

Wu Zhuo had nothing to say about this.

He didn't bother to respond.

……

After filming the MV for "Welcome to BJ", Wu Zhuo stayed in BJ for a day and asked Liu Shishi to take him around.

Then he rushed back to Wuxi without stopping.

Although Wu Zhuo has left the crew for several days, there are still many of his fans gathered here.

Every day, he would go to the crew to block Wu Chao as before, making him suffer.

However, this pain did not last long.

On May 6, the crew finally finished filming all the outside scenes and began to concentrate the remaining scenes in the tent at the film and television base.

As the filming of the plot got on track, Wu Zhuo began to experience the pain of flying around that Liu Shishi had experienced before.

In this drama, Wu Chao has a lot of fighting scenes.

Although many of them are special effects scenes, such as a sword swinging out and blowing up a mountain not far away, there is no need for Wu Chao to go up and fight himself.

But since it is a martial arts fantasy drama after all, Wu Chao still needs to remove the wire for many scenes.

Wu Zhuo really has no experience in wire suspension.

He was also a little afraid of heights, which made filming extremely painful for him.

Psychological torture is one aspect, and physical torture is another.

Because he was hanging on the wire for a long time, several red marks were left on his waist.

This made Guo Biting, who was applying medicine to him at night, feel very distressed, and she even suggested that Wu Chao ask the director to reduce the number of scenes with wire suspension.

"The main attraction of this drama is the martial arts special effects. Without the special effects, the appeal to the audience will be greatly reduced.

The ratings can’t be supported by the plot alone.”

Wu Zhuo lay on the bed and let Guo Biting apply medicine to her.

After hearing her suggestion, he explained.
