Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 193 Two Singles
According to the plan, Wu Zhuo's new solo album will be released in November.

In addition to his solo album, Fahrenheit's group album also needs to be prepared. Huayan means it will be released by March next year at the latest.

For the two albums, as for the personal album, Wu Chao must control all the songs himself.

In terms of the group, Huayan meant that he continued to come up with three songs.

In addition to this, Wu Zhuo also made a temporary decision to release a single.

This year, Wu Zhuo became a big star in the music industry.

Along with fame and status, a lot of money was also earned.

Last year, the album "My Personal Style" sold a total of 2.2 million copies in Asia.

Excluding the share from local record companies and Huayan Records, Wu Chao earned 13 million RMB from this album together with royalties.

Then in terms of TV dramas, he only starred in "Strange Women of Liao Zhai" and "The Magic Sword: Life and Death Chess".

The one million yuan salary for "Strange Women of Liao Zhai" is only a small amount.

The more impressive one is "Magic Sword: Life and Death Chess", which offered Wu Chao a salary of 20 per episode.

The total number of episodes of this drama is forty.

Wu Zhuo's role was condensed to 31 episodes, and his salary was 620 million.

Then there is the commercial performance aspect.

Wu Zhuo has not taken on many commercial performances, just six.

But his current commercial performance fee is very high. If it’s less than 90 yuan for a performance, there’s no point in even discussing it.

Six games would be 540 million.

Then there are endorsements.

Including the endorsement for Fahrenheit, he has a total of three endorsements.

These three endorsements brought him 13 million.

Add in other miscellaneous income.

He has earned about 3500 million so far this year, and after taxes, he still has about million.

However, while making so much money, Wu Chao also had less time to spend with his grandma.

Each time he works, it takes at least half a month to a month.

After coming back, I spent very little time with my grandma.

Grandma was very happy when she came back this time. She talked to Wu Chao about his future, his childhood, and many other things.

It was not until this time that Wu Zhuo discovered that there were more white hair on her head.

Compared to her tiredness when she had just crossed over and had been taking care of him, she now looked much more energetic and the smile never left her face.

But she was older.

Looking at her old face, Wu Zhuo felt a little uncomfortable.

Compared to those parents whose memories are vague.

Wu Zhuo really treated this old lady as his own grandmother.

You Zi still remembered that when Wu Zhuo first traveled through time, the first person he saw when he opened his eyes was her.

She just lay on the head of the bed, dozing off exhausted.

When she saw Wu Zhuo wake up, she burst into tears and kept thanking all the gods and Buddhas.

After Wu Zhuo was able to get out of bed, she took Wu Zhuo around Taiwan and visited more than a dozen temples including the Mazu Temple and Longshan Temple to fulfill their vows.

One can imagine how many gods the old lady worshipped during the time when Wu Zhuo was unconscious.

In Wu Zhuo's heart, she is his grandmother, the kind that he cannot let go of.

Now, seeing that her face suddenly became old, Wu Zhuo couldn't feel good.

Coincidentally, Wu Zhuo remembered that he had once said that he wanted to write a song for her.

I originally wanted to wait a few years.

But after seeing the old woman's aged face, Wu Chao felt that it would be better if he let her hear it earlier.

Therefore, Wu Zhuo decided to release a single on the spur of the moment.

Includes two songs.

A song called "When You Are Old" by Zhao Zhao.

Another song was "Father", which he slightly modified and changed into "Grandma".

Some people may think that it is inappropriate to give the song "Father" to grandma.

But in fact, to the original person, grandma is actually his father.

As far as I can remember, my grandma has always been both a father and a mother. The words in this song can actually be used to describe Grandma Wu Zhuo.

The only thing that needs to be changed is to change father to grandma...

Da da da!
"Azhuo, don't stay up late. Do your work tomorrow."

There was a knock on the door and the old lady opened it and walked in.

"I'm going to sleep soon!" Wu Zhuo covered the lyrics in his hand.

He wasn't going to tell her now that he had written a song for her.

Her birthday is next month, and Wu Chao plans to give her a surprise then.

"Every time I say I'm going to sleep, but I'm still tossing and turning in the middle of the night. Go to bed quickly."

That's the bad thing about the old lady. She always likes to act majestic in front of him.

"All right!"

Wu Zhuo raised his hands in surrender and turned off the desk lamp.

"That's good enough!" Seeing this, the old lady left the room contentedly.

Wu Zhuo originally wanted to turn on the lights again and write two more songs, as he has not yet decided on the songs for the new album.

But after thinking about it, he decided not to bother anymore and went straight to wash up and go to bed.

……

"There is a rock in the heart and a forest on the mountain"

"The sky is misty and rainy, and the wind is cloudy"

……

The next morning, Wu Chao took "Grandma" and "When You Are Old" to Huayan.

The production of the two songs still had to be done in Huayan’s recording studio.

By the way, he wanted to discuss the style of the new album with Lu Shiyu.

On the way, Wu Chao was surprised that the song "Tomb of Love" became popular in Taiwan in just one day.

It looks like it's still very popular.

Many businesses are already playing this song.

Wu Zhuo even heard passers-by humming.

"This song by Wu Zhuo is really nice! But it's a pity that there is no CD."

"It's the same when listening online. I rarely use CDs to listen to music now. It's more convenient to download them to mp3 or mp4."

Two passers-by passed by Wu Zhuo's car, and the topic they were talking about made Wu Zhuo silent.

The physical record market is becoming increasingly sluggish, and now most listeners have begun to turn to the Internet to listen to music.

Unfortunately, online piracy cannot be banned at all, and the revenue from digital music downloads cannot support the market.

Shaking his head, Wu Zhuo shook off his thoughts.

This was something that had been expected, and he couldn't stop it at all.

Moreover, compared to others, his situation is slightly better. There is relatively less piracy in the Japanese and Korean markets, so he can continue to maintain his record income here.

……

"What a great song! Are you really planning on making it a single?"

Huayan Records.

After watching Wu Zhuo's two songs, Lu Shiyu's eyes turned red and he reached out to wipe his eyes.

Wu Zhuo looked at his red eyes curiously and couldn't help but speak:
"Not really! Just look at the lyrics and you'll start crying."

"Alas!" Lu Shiyu sighed, "If it were normal times, I certainly wouldn't be like this after hearing these two songs of yours."

After a pause, he said with a tired look: "I haven't been to the company recently because my mother passed away.

Seeing these two songs of yours, I couldn't help but recall the time when she worked three or four jobs to take care of the four of us brothers."

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo was silent for a moment, "Sorry, I don't know..."

"It's okay, I didn't tell anyone in the company." Lu Shiyu interrupted Wu Chao and took the initiative to turn the topic to the new album.

“As for the new album, the company doesn’t have any requirements.

If there is any, it is that you can probably come up with two ancient style songs.

I think the song "Blue and White Porcelain" is pretty good."

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo was speechless.

It's Blue and White Porcelain again. How obsessed is this guy Lu Shiyu with this song!
