Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 18 Stefanie Sun MV
According to the original plan, Wu Zhuo would go home on the evening of the 21st to visit his grandma.

Then the next day I set out from home to meet up with others and head to Yangmingshan.

However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.

That night, Wu Chao received a call from Huang Zekai.

He was asked to rush to the company the next day, as the company arranged another MV announcement for him.

So Wu Chao had to call Zhang Haoming and tell him that he could not go hiking.

"Ah! Dadong is so popular recently, it's fine if he can't come, but even you are busy!"

Zhang Haoming complained on the phone.

After hearing this, Wu Zhuo realized that Jiro Wang couldn't go either.

Recently, "It Started with a Kiss" has reached the middle of its broadcast. Jiro Wang's character A Jin in the drama has gained a large number of fans thanks to his infatuated and second-year student character.

It is said that there are fan clubs for him on the Internet now.

After he became initially famous, the company arranged for him to appear on a TV show during the break in filming of "KO One".

In fact, the gap between Jiro Wang and Wu Chao and others has indeed been widening recently.

Wu Zhuo and others are still unknown.

Because of the role of A Jin, he has gained a large number of fans in Taiwan, and in the eyes of the company, he has become one of the most valued newcomers among their group.

Wu Chao was not surprised at all about this.

He had some understanding of this when he was paying attention to Fahrenheit in his previous life.

When this group was first established, it was actually supported by Jiro Wang.

In mid-2006, after Wu Zun's "Oriental Juliet" became a hit, Wu Zun also joined the group.

Among the four members of Fahrenheit, Jiro Wang has always been at the top of the popularity list in the Fahrenheit group, second only to Wu Zun, thanks to the two "It Started with a Kiss" trilogy and the Ultimate series.

It was not until around 2008 that Aaron Yan came from behind and moved forward side by side with Jiro Wang with his perfect character as the rich young man Abu in "It Started with a Kiss 2" and "MIT".

This makes the individual popularity of the group relatively balanced.

As for Chen Yiru...

"Fahrenheit" is said to be a singing group, but in fact, this group is similar to F4, an idol drama group.

The main reason why the group became so popular all over Asia so quickly was due to the output of idol dramas.

Then the four of them joined together to create the brilliance of this group.

As for Chen Yiru, he is not very good at singing, and he has never had the opportunity to play the leading role in the idol dramas starring several members of Fahrenheit. He could only play the second male lead, so naturally he had no popularity.

He directly became the most ordinary one in Fahrenheit.

Wu Zhuo didn't mind at all that the company arranged a notice for him and interrupted his rest plans.

On the contrary, he quite enjoyed it.

The fact that he received the notice shows that he has a certain position and is valued in the company's plans.

On the contrary, if you can’t get a notice, then there is a problem.

It means the company has given up on him.

It’s actually pretty good like it is now. Although I’m a bit busy, I can see that I’m making progress visibly.

It is said that Tianxi did not contact us for this MV.

But the other party took the initiative to invite.

The fact that I received an announcement inviting me proactively shows that I am not standing still.

……

“This MV is from Stefanie Sun’s new album. It’s not the main song, but the quality is very good.

Originally the male lead for this MV had been confirmed long ago, but when the shooting was approaching, some problems occurred with the actor and the position remained vacant.

It just so happens that the director of Stefanie Sun’s MV this time is Sun Yang, who shot your photo shoot last time, and he recommended you on short notice.”

After Wu Chao arrived at the company and met up with Huang Zekai, they went straight to the filming location of Stefanie Sun's MV. On the way, Huang Zekai explained the situation of the MV to Wu Chao.

Wu Zhuo didn't ride his own bike. He sat in the back seat of Huang Zekai's car and nodded continuously when he heard what he said.

“Has my photo album been published?”

Wu Zhuo was very concerned about when the last photo album he took would be published.

Although during this period, photo albums had become an accessory to movies and songs, and had even become so popular that anyone could take a set.

But if the photos are of good quality and sell well, this is actually a way to become famous.

After all, no matter how bad the photo is, it still has to be purchased by fans with real money. This is an age where money is everything.

No matter how great your fame is, it will be useless if no one supports you with real money.

“It will be published the day after tomorrow, you can pay attention to it then.

The company has produced a total of 500 sets, and if sales are good, it may add more.

However, the photo market is currently in a downturn. Fans are buying celebrity stickers and are not paying much attention to photos.

So you have to be prepared for poor sales.”

Huang Zekai said while driving.

Wu Chao was not surprised by this.

Times are progressing.

The same goes for celebrity peripherals. In the early years, photo albums were the most popular selling items among celebrity peripherals.

But as the market expands, more convenient and affordable celebrity stickers appear.

You can buy a set of more than 20 stickers for a few dollars, and you can easily stick them on books and pencil cases.

This caters greatly to the student population.

And who is the audience of celebrities?

There is no doubt that the student group is definitely the largest proportion among them.

When students all started buying more convenient and affordable stickers, photo albums naturally became obsolete.

In addition, for a newcomer, it is obviously unlikely to expect the debut photo album to sell well.

However, it is impossible, but we can't just not look forward to it!

After all, this is my first set of photos...

Traffic in Taipei is not very good in the early morning.

It took Wu Chao and his companion more than an hour to finally reach the filming location of Stefanie Sun's MV.

He took over from someone else and took the photo directly.

So I skipped the other processes and went straight to report to the MV director Sun Yang.

"Director Sun, thank you for recommending me to act in this MV."

When he met Sun Yang, Wu Zhuo immediately thanked him for recommending him to act in this MV.

The fee for appearing in this MV is NT$10,000, which is equivalent to Wu Chao appearing in one episode of a TV series.

Of course, the most important thing is not money, but opportunity, exposure opportunity.

For an artist, especially a newcomer like him, participating in a music video is a huge exposure.

Some people may say that shooting MVs is too low-grade.

But in fact, how many people can really play the leading role in one go?

Even Wu Zun, a second-generation actor, played a minor role in "Itazura na Kiss" before becoming the protagonist.

Not to mention others.

Before taking on the role of A Jin, Jiro Wang also filmed a lot of music videos.

“There’s nothing to thank you for. You have a good image, but you haven’t gained momentum yet.

In a few years, I'm afraid I won't even be qualified to invite you to star in a music video."

Sun Yang is extremely demanding during filming, but he is a very approachable person in private.

Spoken very kindly.

After chatting with Wu Zhuo for a few words, he began to explain to him the upcoming filming and also introduced him to the heroine of the MV.

The female lead in the MV is not Stefanie Sun herself.

Currently many MVs are shot in this way.

In the MV, the singer will appear, but basically just in the form of lip syncing.

As for the male and female protagonists in the MV, they are left to other people.

This is the case with Stefanie Sun’s song “Invisible Man”.

The male lead of the MV is Wu Zhuo.

The heroine is Guo Biting.
