Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 260 Time Magazine Cover Character
As Wu Zhuo's second solo album.

As soon as the news of the album "Mr. Sensual" was revealed, it attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.

After all, Wu Zhuo’s first album was so amazing.

If Wu Chao had not been a newcomer at the time, the songs on this album would probably have won all major awards.

Therefore, the outside world, both the media and his peers, are paying attention to Wu Chao.

I wonder if his second album can replicate the success of the first one.

The result obviously exceeded everyone's expectations.

Wu Zhuo's album has not simply outperformed his first album.

But breaking records.

It ranked first in global sales in its first week.

This has never happened in the entire history of Chinese music.

The dazzling performance of Mr. Sense not only made Wu Zhuo extremely popular in the country.

Internationally, this photo has been frequently mentioned by media in many countries because of its outstanding performance.

On November 11, Time magazine even put Wu Chao on its cover.

This made him the third person to appear on the cover of Time magazine after Faye Wong and Jay Chou.

The title is: "One of the reasons why Chinese music has become a must-listen music"

In other words, from this moment on, Wu Chao became one of the faces of Chinese music in the international arena.

Just like Jackie Chan and Jet Li to Chinese movies.

In addition to appearing on the cover of Time magazine.

The song "GOOD BOY" also topped FUSETV's November top ten dance music list.

"Insomnia" became Wu Chao's first song to appear on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Although the ranking is very low, only 86th.

But this achievement alone is enough to make Wu Chao famous internationally.

He is the first contemporary Chinese singer to appear on the American Billboard charts.

On the 29th, China's "Contemporary Music" once again put Wu Chao on the cover.

The title content is directly:
“He has made Chinese music go global and is one of the kings of pop music in the new century.”

On the same day, Hong Kong's "MILK X" put Wu Zhuo and Jay Chou on the same page.

There are two people, one on the left and one on the right, with a big VS in the middle.

"If we use a deck of cards to describe the music industry, Wu Zhuo and Jay Chou would represent the big and small kings..."

It's so hot!

This was Wu Zhuo’s first feeling.

Starting from the release of the record on the 20th.

He and Fahrenheit held several concerts in mainland China.

I have visited the hottest concert markets in China: Shanghai, Beijing, and Shenzhen.

Wherever he goes, Wu Chao's appearance immediately drives his fans crazy.

Every time, because there are so many fans present, it causes local traffic problems.

Even more terrifying is the ticket to Fahrenheit’s concert.

Originally, Fahrenheit's concert tickets were very popular and were almost sold out before the concert started, with only a small number of tickets left in the hands of scalpers.

These tickets are also sold at very high prices.

As a result, after Wu Zhuo's new album went on sale, it ranked first in Asia and the world.

Tickets for Fahrenheit are in hot demand again.

Especially those positions that are close to the front and have access to artists have seen a significant price increase again.

The original price of VIP seats was RMB 1580.

Now the price has been directly raised to 7800 yuan per ticket.

In fact, some people directly called out online, willing to pay 10,000 RMB just for a ticket that allows them to get close to the artists.

But, it seems like no one is willing to sell.

"Wu Zhuo...ahhhh..."

"Woooooooo..."

Beijing.

Today is December 3rd, Monday.

It’s a new week again.

Just this morning, Wu Zhuo's sales data for last week was exposed by the media. This week, without the support of pre-sale data, his data inevitably fell sharply.

But in all Asian markets this week, Wu Chao still achieved sales of 1.7 million copies, continuing to rank first in Asia that week.

Even on a global scale, it still ranks third.

At present, the total data of "Mr. Sensual" has reached 4.8 million copies.

Huayan rounded the data and announced that the total number was five million.

Five million in two weeks, this news undoubtedly continues to be the hottest news today.

And today, Wu Zhuo happened to be in Beijing to attend the film press conference of "Painted Skin".

This immediately resulted in a huge crowd of people at the scene.

At noon, the press conference was about to begin and Wu Chao appeared.

The car he was riding in stopped, and as soon as he popped his head out of the window, all the fans gathered at the scene rushed towards him.

The dense crowds of people blocked the surroundings like a tide.

Screams, cries, and shouts resounded throughout the world.

"Everyone, please don't push, don't push..."

Wu Zhuo had already anticipated that there would be a large number of fans today, so he brought more than thirty bodyguards with him.

But he still underestimated.

The fans are crazy.

After seeing him, they kept pushing their way towards his seat.

The crowd rushed towards him uncontrollably, and Wu Chao was so scared that he quickly jumped into the car with the help of his bodyguards to avoid being drowned by the crowd.

"Everyone, please don't push. Those of you at the back, please step back. You all don't want Wu Zhuo to get hurt, right?"

Chen Huiying personally accompanied Wu Zhuo here today.

She was also frightened by the enthusiastic fans at the scene, and quickly took a loud speaker to persuade the fans.

At the same time, a large number of staff from the "Painted Skin" crew also rushed out to maintain order.

"It's scary, this horrible popularity!"

In the hotel, Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun looked outside through the window.

Both of them were frightened by the dense crowd of people.

Yes, it was quite scary.

Even though Zhao Wei was once the most popular star in China, she had never seen a situation like today.

The entire street outside the hotel was blocked.

Not only on the road, but also on the branches of the big trees and the nearby buildings, there were people everywhere.

It was especially scary for people on the upper floors. Some of them sat directly on the edge of the window to watch the fun without any fear of falling.

Because there were too many people at the door, many journalists and media who were originally invited were not even able to enter the hotel.

The hotel has now closed the door tightly, for fear that Wu Zhuo's fans outside might rush over.

clack clack...

The media reporters who had already entered the hotel were now frantically taking pictures outside.

"It seems that the male protagonist's position is basically unshakable."

Zhao Wei rubbed her nose, looking unhappy.

After the "Painted Skin" crew was established.

The first actor confirmed was Donnie Yen.

But after Wu Chao joined the crew, the two had a conflict that was unknown to outsiders, and eventually Donnie Yen withdrew from the crew.

Later, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei joined the crew one after another.

Because they both have a common good friend, Chen Kun.

Moreover, the treatment standards for both of them after joining the team are very high.

So the two of them discussed privately, trying to find a way to kick Wu Chao out and replace him with their good friend Chen Kun.

To this end, they all reached a consensus and decided to look for a crew together.

But now...

When I saw Wu Zhuo's popularity.

The two of them immediately understood that they could forget about kicking Wu Chao out.

If things go wrong, the investors might kick them out for Wu Chao.
