Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 212: Invitation from Painted Skin

“Last night, I witnessed Abel’s fan meeting at Saitama Super Arena.

This was a very comfortable fan meeting.

No pretense, no affectation.

Abel treats every fan with his most sincere attitude.

It can be seen that the fans at the scene really like this atmosphere.

On the spot, Abel performed many songs he composed.

I have to say that Abel is really a high-quality idol who is both a good singer and songwriter.

I compared him to the top idols in Japan.

I found that he is not inferior to Japanese idols in any aspect.

This is an idol worth following..."

The next day, Ichiro Oda, a well-known Japanese journalist, published such an article in Japanese Entertainment Idol Information.

The article is full of praise for Wu Zhuo.

In theory, such articles are actually very common.

But perhaps Wu Zhuo's recent glory has affected the interests of some people.

After Ichiro Oda published this article, it was immediately refuted.

This famous Japanese music critic named Yamamoto Ransuke made this statement directly in another well-known Japanese magazine Asahi Entertainment.

"When did Japan fall to the point where it had to curry favor with a Chinese?
Is Abel awesome?

This is a topic that has received a lot of attention on the Japanese Internet recently.

With the idea of ​​exploring, I bought two singles of Wu Zhuo, and even got the Chinese album he released in China.

Indeed, looking at the lyrics and composition column of the song, Abel is quite good.

The lyrics, music, production and even arrangement are all under Abel's name.

He is very versatile.

But what I want to say is that his songs are really average.

Some people call him the Chinese version of Koji Tamaki.

Haha...all I can say is haha.

It is a blatant insult to compare him with Koji Tamaki.

It is an insult to Koji Tamaki and also an insult to the Japanese music scene.

Looking at the Japanese music scene, there are so many versatile and excellent singers.

Let’s not mention Ayumi Hamasaki, Utada Hikaru and the like.

Take Ken Hirai for example, Abel cannot compare to him.

……

I'm putting this out there, there's no way Abel can survive in Japan for long.

Two years, two years. If he is not abandoned by the market, I will stop writing articles! "

Yamamoto Ransuke's previous articles were relatively normal. Although it was obvious that they were targeting Wu Chao, it was understandable.

But the following words made Wu Zhuo laugh.

When he read entertainment novels in his previous life, the plot he hated the most was the gambling plot.

Those supporting characters acted like fools and crazy, trying their best to get slapped in the face by the protagonist.

After two years of traveling through time, Wu Zhuo has never encountered such a situation.

He thought everyone's IQ was normal.

I didn't expect to see such a guy in Japan today, who would criticize others just for the sake of criticizing others and even ask for him to slap him in the face.

Therefore, Wu Zhuo, who was about to leave Japan and return to China, stated directly in an interview with Japanese media.

“I read Mr. Yamamoto’s article. I really like his rebelliousness and I want to see if he can continue to write two years later.

Here, please let the media and fans bear witness.

Let's see if I will really be like what Mr. Yamamoto said, and there will be no such person in Japan in two years, that is, there will be no name of me."

After responding, Wu Zhuo didn't care about the other party's response and went back to his country directly.

This trip to Japan was a complete success.

First of all, the record industry.

After several days of continuous promotion, the single "Thank You" has sold 760,000 copies in Japan. The total sales in all regions have exceeded 2.2 million, making it a truly popular record.

Secondly, a fan meeting in Japan allowed Wu Chao himself and the record company to fully understand Wu Chao's popularity.

I think that Fahrenheit’s concert in October and his solo album in November will both see major changes as a result.

Especially the Fahrenheit concert.

Not to mention other places.

As for Japan, Sony has clearly told Wu Chao that they have already launched Fahrenheit's concert plan in Japan and will open ticket sales soon.

Among them, in terms of performance venues, Sony will directly apply for one of the five major domes as the performance venue for Fahrenheit.

By then, Fahrenheit’s first concert may be held directly on Japan’s most prestigious stage with 50,000 people.

……

Hong Kong.

Wu Zhuo came quietly.

Therefore, there were no fans waiting to pick them up at the airport.

Speaking of which, Wu Chao doesn't often visit Hong Kong.

In recent years, the Hong Kong market has shrunk to a speechless level.

But Wu Zhuo is still very popular here.

His previous work "Cool Love" was very popular in Hong Kong.

At the same time, several Mandarin songs are also very popular here.

In recent years, Hong Kong's acceptance of Mandarin songs has reached a new level.

Jay Chou has won the highest sales award in Hong Kong for many consecutive years.

Jay Chou is one of those people who gained huge popularity here with his Mandarin songs.

Although Wu Zhuo is not as popular as Jay Chou for the time being, his popularity is also among the top.

Even in terms of sales, his album "My Personal Style" last year was second only to Jay Chou's in Hong Kong.

So, it's a little bit exaggerated.

That is.

In Hong Kong, Wu Zhuo is a figure who can rival Jay Chou.

"I have already made an appointment with Gordon Chan. We will chat at the Shangri-La Hotel tomorrow at noon."

Outside the airport, Chen Huiying had already driven here and was waiting.

She arrived in Hong Kong yesterday.

“Mr. Ge is very optimistic about this project and hopes that we can get a certain share of investment from Oriental Films.

This is also good for you. If the company participates in the investment, you will have more say in the crew.

So as not to cause any chaos to the crew."

As Chen Huiying spoke, she took out a document from beside the seat and handed it to Wu Zhuo.

This is a script.

From Hong Kong director Gordon Chan.

"Painted Skin".

That's the name of this script.

Adapted from Pu Songling's novel.

In fact, information about this project was released to the public as early as June.

At the Shanghai International Film Festival in June, Donnie Yen revealed that he would work with Wilson Yip again to star in a remake of the 6s Hong Kong classic horror film "Painted Skin", but the female lead had not yet been confirmed.

Last week, the director of this film, which was originally scheduled to be shot by Wilson Yip, was suddenly replaced.

The new director was replaced by Gordon Chan.

After becoming the director, Gordon Chan immediately began looking for actors to play several important roles in the drama.

Wu Zhuo was invited to play the role of Wang Sheng because of his outstanding performance in "Xin Shisi Niang" and his recent popularity.

This script was originally handed over to Tianxi.

After reading the script, Tianxi felt that both the investment lineup and the quality of the script were very good, so he called Wu Zhuo and proposed to take over the play.
