Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 223: Grandma Who Loves to Show Off

The contact with Wong Jing ultimately ended in failure.

This is actually normal.

Cooperation on a project cannot be completed in just one negotiation.

Unless it is a project where both parties have a strong desire to cooperate.

Just like "Painted Skin", Wu Zhuo wanted to act in this project, and the producers also made up their minds to use Wu Zhuo.

Then there are projects like "Keep Talking" where the producers directly offer very good conditions at one time.

Speaking of this, Wu Chao actually admires Emperor Entertainment Group very much.

In fact, according to the market, Wu Zhuo's price at that time was at most around seven million.

After all, he had never acted in a movie before.

Even Jay Chou, although he received the same tens of millions of dollars in salary as Gong Li for "Curse of the Golden Flower".

But he had actually acted in movies before.

"Initial D" earned 6300 million in mainland China, 3700 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and 2300 million US dollars overseas.

It can be said to be a huge profit, and it was this movie that made the producers taste the sweetness, which led to Jay Chou joining "Curse of the Golden Flower" later.

Compared to Jay Chou, Wu Zhuo, with the help of English, caught up with Jay Chou in terms of film remuneration in one step.

Although there is still a gap, it is already very small.

At present, Wu Zhuo has already negotiated "Painted Skin", "Keep Talking", and is still in talks for "Ip Man".

As long as one movie makes a lot of money, the other movies shouldn't lose too much.

There is no doubt that Wu Zhuo will immediately become a figure sought after by producers like Jay Chou.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

After finishing the negotiations with Wong Jing, Wu Chao flew back to Taiwan that afternoon.

As for "Ip Man", it was handed over to Tian Xi.

After returning to Taiwan, Wu Chao went home immediately.

After the song "Grandma" was released, Grandma called Wu Chao almost every day.

Although the words are still the same.

"Have you eaten?" "Is it cold over there?" "Remember to take care of yourself" and so on.

But Wu Chao could clearly feel her satisfaction with the song "Grandma".

And this is indeed the case.

When Wu Zhuo returned to the community, he saw his grandma from a distance.

The old lady was chatting with a few old men and women.

"Grandma, you have been strong all your life. What can I do for you..."

From a distance, Wu Zhuo could hear his own singing and his grandma's voice.

“It sounds nice, doesn’t it? This is a song my grandson gave me, written for me, and the person in it is me.

My grandson is good in every way except that he doesn't listen.

I told him not to be so high-profile, but he still insisted on writing a song for me."

Happy, excited, showing off...

Wu Zhuo felt a variety of emotions in her words.

Seeing this, Wu Zhuo couldn't help laughing.

The old lady loves to show off.

Not long after their family moved in here, she became familiar with the old ladies in the community, and the whole community immediately knew that she was the grandmother of the famous star Wu Zhuo.

"Grandma! I'm back!"

Wu Zhuo walked over there.

"Oh, my grandson is back. I don't want to chat with you anymore. I have to go back and make him something delicious!"

When she saw Wu Zhuo, grandma didn't come over immediately. Instead, she said goodbye to a few old ladies first, and then walked towards Wu Zhuo.

"Azhuo, please buy me a new radio someday. This one doesn't work anymore.

It keeps getting stuck.”

The old lady was holding a small radio in her hand.

The old men and women in Taiwan all like this easy-to-carry radio. A group of people carry the radio and go for a walk in the nearby park whenever they want.

"I'll get you a better one someday."

Wu Zhuo took the things in her hand, pulled her and prepared to go home.

After walking only a few steps, the old lady insisted on taking Wu Zhuo to take a detour.

She said her things fell on the other side.

"That's Mrs. Zhang's grandson Wu Zhuo." "He's promising! A big star!"

"Grandma Wang, doesn't your Xiaoying still have a boyfriend? Do you want me to help bring her up? I have a very good relationship with Sister Zhang."

"Sister Zhang, your grandson is back to see you!"

"Yes! He was busy with work. I asked him to focus on work first, but he refused to listen and insisted on coming back."

……

Walking in the community garden, Wu Zhuo couldn't help but twitching the corners of his mouth.

This old lady insisted on taking him on a detour, probably not just to get something.

Maybe there is an element of showing off.

However, Wu Zhuo was not opposed to her behavior.

For old people, the proudest thing is that their children and grandchildren are successful.

This kind of showing off is normal no matter where you are.

"You must be there to pay respect to the grave in a few days. Many relatives and friends will be there."

On the way back, grandma greeted the people around her while giving instructions to Wu Chao.

Wu Zhuo would also smile at the neighbors around him and nodded after hearing this, "I will definitely be there."

This community is a high-end community.

People who can live here are generally either rich or noble.

Therefore, even though Wu Zhuo is very famous and everyone is curious about him, few people come around Wu Zhuo to ask for his autograph.

This saved Wu Chao a lot of trouble.

Of course, that's not entirely true.

Young people will.

Some young people in the community would come up enthusiastically and ask for photos.

"You are going to fight with that guy named Donnie Yen. Is this true?"

After dealing with the neighbors who greeted them, Wu Chao and his grandma walked back to their villa.

Talk while walking.

Grandma is not the kind of person who turns a deaf ear to what's happening outside.

She also reads the reports on a daily basis.

In the past two years, under the influence of Wu Zhuo, I even started learning how to use the Internet.

It's not surprising that she knew about the little things between Wu Zhuo and Donnie Yen.

“It’s just a conflict at work, we’re not big enemies.

It's not as serious as what's written in the newspaper. As for arranging a fight, that's even more impossible. We are not a gang and we don't want to solve the problem by one-on-one fight."

Wu Chao was also speechless about the media in Taiwan.

I don't know which newspaper spread the news.

It was said that Wu Chao wanted to have an offline fight with Donnie Yen.

It sounds so convincing, as if it were true.

“I say the same thing, grandma doesn’t understand your business, but she also listens to music and watches TV.

I know that your industry still relies on your works.

If you work harder on this, no one will dislike you.

As for bullying, we shouldn't do it.

Of course, if someone bullies you, don’t be afraid.”

The old lady kept talking, and what she said made a lot of sense.

“I understand! I have always paid more attention to the quality of my works.

As for this time with Donnie Yen, it ultimately comes down to business competition.

A movie asked me to play the leading role, but due to some conflicts of interest, he was not satisfied and chose to cause trouble for me.

This matter has basically been resolved now, you don't have to worry about it."

The matter with Donnie Yen has indeed come to an end.

Wu Zhuo and the crew have continuously released evidence to clarify the matter, which has to some extent eliminated the negative impact of this incident on Wu Zhuo.

Instead it's Donnie Yen's side.

Because he couldn't provide any evidence of how Wu Zhuo kicked him out, his reputation fell into a very bad state.

From the perspective of later generations.

If Donnie Yen doesn't find a solution, it won't be long before this incident affects his career.
