Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 225 Sanli's Fantastic Operation
Wu Chao stayed in Fujian for less than a week before returning to Taiwan.

Grandma stayed in Fujian.

It was not easy for her to come back, and there are still a few relatives here whom she knew when she was a child, so she plans to stay here for a while.

Therefore, Wu Zhuo simply asked Zhang Hanping to help buy a villa here so that she could stay here and come back to Taiwan when she wanted to.

And Wu Chao had to leave.

Only a small part of his new album is now underway.

As the album release date is getting closer, he has to hurry up.

In addition to his personal albums, he is also indispensable for Fahrenheit's concerts and group albums.

As soon as he returned to Taiwan, Wu Chao immediately threw himself into the production of the album.

……

"Raise your hands"

“How do you feel?”

In the recording studio, Wu Chao is recording "GOOD BOY".

The lyrics of the Chinese version of this song are not much different from the Korean version.

Only some lyrics were modified where rhyme was needed.

So overall, there is no difference from the Korean version.

However, this song was difficult to record.

It requires the use of electronic harmonies in many places. At the same time, Wu Chao himself also needs to record a lot of harmonies, which made the recording of this song take a lot of effort.

As of today, this song has taken three days to complete.

"How about it?"

After recording once, Wu Zhuo walked out of the recording room and asked the recording engineer about the effect.

In order to make the songs as close to the originals as possible, Wu Chao would control almost all the recording work of the songs he copied.

This also includes recordings.

To him, the sound engineer is almost just a decoration.

Because whether the song is OK or not depends entirely on Wu Chao.

Wu Zhuo said okay, and the recording of this song was completed.

"I sound pretty good," said Xiao Liu, the sound engineer, handing the headphones to Wu Chao.

Wu Zhuo took it and listened to it. Overall, there was no problem.

The only flaw is that the sound is not right in one place.

Wu Zhuo was just about to go back in to record when he saw Chen Huiying standing in front of the window outside the recording room.

"Take a break before recording again!"

After giving instructions, Wu Zhuo opened the door and walked out.

"Sister Xiaoying, is there something wrong?"

Wu Zhuo was not used to others constantly interrupting him when he was recording songs.

So, starting with this album, when he was recording songs, he would just lock the door and not let anyone else in.

Chen Huiying said: "Do you still remember the verbal agreement you made with Sanli?"

"What agreement?"

"Last time, you helped Sanli promote "My Lucky Star", and they gave you a project as the male lead."

"Oh!" Wu Zhuo slapped his head, "I remember now, but didn't Sanli stop talking about this matter because of the attack from my fans?
What, they want me to film a TV series now?"

"Yes, Sanli has recently planned a new TV series, and they intend to use this project to repay your favor."

Chen Huiying nodded and said with a smile: "They probably think you are very popular and want to take advantage of you."

"Heh..." Wu Zhuo sneered.

He has no good feelings towards Sanli now.

Previously, when Fahrenheit sang "Chinese", there were many voices in Taiwan calling for a boycott of Fahrenheit.

Some of these voices came from the United Daily News, and some came from Sanlih Television.

"What were they doing earlier? When they didn't need me, they slandered and attacked me.

I am needed now, and I am here with a TV series."

Wu Zhuo said this with contempt and looked at the script in Chen Huiying's hand.

Upon seeing this, Chen Huiying directly handed over the script.

After just a quick glance, Wu Zhuo knew which TV series it was: Fated to Love You.

The original version was played by Chen Qiaoen and Ethan Ruan.

"How funny! Ming Dao had a conflict with them, and he actually wanted me to take over."

Recently, the biggest entertainment news in Taiwan is probably the disagreement between Ming Dao and Sanlih.

Ming Dao is currently the most popular TV actor in Taiwan, and the idol dramas he starred in are extremely popular.

But his pay at Sanli is very low, only NT$30 per episode so far.

This caused Ming Dao's dissatisfaction, and the two sides had a big fight over it.

The original plan was to have Ming Dao play the role in "Fated to Love You".

But because of the conflict and grudge between the two sides, Ming Dao refused to perform.

This caused the project, which had already started a long time ago, to be delayed again and again until now.

Wu Zhuo didn't expect that Sanli would actually send this project to him.

pity!

If it were in the past, Wu Chao might have agreed.

Now, he won't act.

Just as he was about to refuse directly, Wu Zhuo suddenly wanted to know how much he was paid in Taiwan, so he asked:
“How much did they offer?”

"30 Taiwan dollars!" Chen Huiying was speechless at the price.

"Just reject it! There's no need to accept it."

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo shook his head.

It’s no wonder that actors from Taiwan are flocking to the mainland.

The gap is just too big.

In mainland China, first-line TV actors can earn 300,000 to 400,000 yuan per episode.

Converted into NT dollars, it is equivalent to more than 1.2 million.

This gap is really too big.

As for Wu Zhuo, his current TV drama pay will not be less than 35 RMB.

You can get 35 RMB in mainland China, but you can only get 30 Taiwan dollars in Taiwan.

Any fool knows how to choose.

"I know. I've already refused. I came here mainly for another reason."

Chen Huiying took out another document and said, "The Ip Man project has been negotiated. The salary is 1800 million Hong Kong dollars. The shooting time is still the same as Painted Skin. It will be based on your schedule.

There is a time limit though.

They asked that the film be released before March 2009 at the latest.”

Wu Zhuo took the contract and took a look at it. "Does my schedule allow for it? Will there be any conflicts?"

In addition, I will definitely have to attend many events during the Olympics next year, plus some other factors, so I don’t want to have conflicts in my schedule.”

"That's no problem. I've rescheduled the schedule so there's no problem with the time.

I turned down a lot of invitations for you, so I have some free time.”

Chen Huiying thought for a moment and then said, "There are many TV invitations coming from the mainland.

I have picked out a few good scripts, you can take a look at them when you have time.

If there is one we like, we’ll take it.”

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo was speechless, “Sister Xiaoying, I’m not a machine. I have memorized three movies now, plus next year’s record and concert plans.

I’m almost overwhelmed.”

Tianxi is good in every way.

This is the one thing that makes Wu Zhuo want to complain.

They always want Wu Chao to work every day without rest.

Well, probably most agencies are like this.

After all, only in this way can the agency make money!
Especially a very popular artist like Wu Zhuo.

One event costs tens or even hundreds of millions.

As for TV dramas, the box office is now at least several million.

With such huge profits, it would be strange if the agency wasn't jealous.
