Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 269: Three of the Seven Awards
On January 2008, 1, the song "Beijing Welcomes You" was officially confirmed as the theme song for the 18-day countdown to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

Wu Chao has signed a series of copyright transfer agreements in the past.

A copyright transfer agreement must be signed.

As mentioned before, the copyright of Olympic songs will be transferred to the organizing committee.

Then, at the end of 2007, the China Music Copyright Association signed a memorandum with the Organizing Committee of the 29th Olympic Games and obtained exclusive authorization.

That is, the Olympic Committee authorizes the association to uniformly manage the copyright of Olympic songs in China through collective copyright management.

according to rules.

Individuals, families, schools, government agencies, and spontaneous mass activities that sing Olympic songs do not involve commercial use, so these users can sing Olympic songs directly without going through the licensing procedures.

However, the use of Olympic songs for commercial purposes, such as publicly playing Olympic songs in shopping malls, supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and other business premises.

Or perform Olympic songs live at concerts and recitals, or produce and distribute audio-visual products with Olympic songs as content.

In accordance with the Copyright Law, the Olympic Symbol Protection Regulations and other relevant regulations, you should contact the China Music Copyright Association in advance and obtain permission for use.

The same is true for the song "Beijing Welcomes You".

Therefore, Wu Chao needs to transfer the copyright of the song to the Olympic Organizing Committee in advance.

After the copyright of the song was transferred to the Olympic Organizing Committee.

The organizing committee immediately got to work.

Just like this song in its previous life, the song "Beijing Welcomes You" will still invite a large number of singers from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong to participate in the recording.

However, before that, the song arrangement and other production work will also take some time.

But this has nothing to do with Wu Zhuo for now.

After he reached an agreement with the Olympic Organizing Committee, he no longer cared about the matter and continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

The main thing is the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala.

In addition to participating in the rehearsal of Fahrenheit's "Chinese", Wu Chao's own solo work is also very tedious.

The Spring Festival Gala performance of the song "Blue and White Porcelain" should be considered one of the singing programs that received more attention from the program crew during this year's Spring Festival Gala.

In order to achieve the best performance, the Spring Festival Gala program team assigned a dance troupe to Wu Zhuo.

The dance troupe consists entirely of beautiful girls.

We also invited a special ancient dance designer to design a dance based on the tune of Blue and White Porcelain.

Wu Zhuo does not need to dance, but he needs to develop a tacit understanding with the dance troupe. At the same time, he also needs to participate in the program team's advance stage rehearsals frequently according to the requirements of the program team.

As a result, Wu Zhuo spent most of the time before the Chinese New Year in BJ.

Because of this, he was not even able to participate in the filming of "Keep Talking", and only continued to perform in "Painted Skin" during his free time in rehearsal.

It is worth mentioning here that the filming locations of Painted Skin are mainly concentrated in the mainland.

"Keep Talking" was almost entirely filmed in Hong Kong.

There is nothing we can do about it.

"Painted Skin" is a costume drama, and the scenes are not available in Hong Kong.

If Hong Kong movies or TV series want to achieve success at the box office now, they have to go beyond the small city of Hong Kong and go to the mainland to shoot scenes.

Not to mention, "Painted Skin" was mainly invested by mainland companies.

Therefore, most of the shooting locations are concentrated in Ningxia.

This is the home of Ningxia Film Studio.

But "Keep Talking" is different.

This play is a modern play.

Even the background is set in Hong Kong, so it would be inappropriate to shoot in the Mainland.

In addition to being busy rehearsing Spring Festival Gala programs and filming, Wu Chao also participates in some music award events from time to time.

Since January, there have been more music awards and various related activities in the Chinese music scene.

Mr. Sensual, the album released last November, has become a popular album for major awards.

No matter what major awards ceremony Wu Chao attends, one or two major awards will definitely be won by him.

Especially the award for the most popular male singer from Hong Kong and Taiwan. As long as Wu Zhuo is there, he will definitely win the award.

Only if he is not there will the organizer give the award to Jay Chou.

If Jay Chou is no longer around, then we will consider Wang Leehom and JJ Lin.

Speaking of which, this year's music scene has already somewhat resembled the 1990s when the Four Heavenly Kings dominated the music scene.

In this year's major awards, the new four heavenly kings composed of Wu Zhuo, Jay Chou and others did not sweep the awards.

But it has also reached the point where there are the New Four Heavenly Kings among the contenders for almost every major award.

Especially the annual hit song.

Awards in the mainland have always been divided into two types: Mainland's Annual Golden Song and Hong Kong and Taiwan's Annual Golden Song.

Because Wu Chao and the other four were classified as Hong Kong and Taiwan singers.

This means that the New Four Heavenly Kings occupy at least five of the ten annual golden songs in most of the awards this year.

In other words, even if there are four nominees, the award will win the least.

The New Four Heavenly Kings won half of the annual golden songs.

Then there is the award for the song of the era selected from the ten golden songs.

This award better reflects the trend that the new Four Heavenly Kings are beginning to dominate the music scene.

A total of seven awards were held in the Mainland in January.

Wu Chao attended four of these seven awards.

Among these four awards, three of the Song of the Year awards were won by "Blue and White Porcelain".

The remaining one was won by Stefanie Sun's "What I Miss".

Of the other three awards that Wu Chao did not attend, two were won by Jay Chou and one was won by Leehom Wang.

Of the seven awards for Song of the Year, Wu Chao took three, Jay Chou took two, and Wang Leehom took one.

Only one was left, which was snatched away by Stefanie Sun.

Just from this award, we can see the dominance of the new Four Heavenly Kings in the current music scene.

It is also because of these awards that news about the new Four Heavenly Kings sweeping the music awards began to appear frequently.

"In January, the New Four Heavenly Kings swept all seven awards and dominated the major awards."

"Kings don't meet kings. Wu Zhuo and Jay Chou have never appeared at the same award ceremony."

"The New Four Heavenly Kings are just one step away from completely sweeping the music scene, with JJ Lin slightly behind..."

In a hotel in Beijing.

JJ Lin was reading the newspaper when he saw the sentence "JJ Lin is slightly inferior".

He almost vomited blood.

His performance this year has actually improved a lot.

In terms of popularity and awards, he has made great progress compared to last year.

Recently, there are fewer people questioning his status as one of the new Four Heavenly Kings on the Internet.

As a result, he didn't get a best song award.

The media actually gave him a slightly inferior title.

Don't underestimate this slightly inferior one.

Most people don’t think too much about it.

But in the eyes of some people, he is one level lower than Wu Zhuo and others.

As a proud person.

The kind of guy who gets angry when someone uses his four million dance numbers to make fun of him.

How could he tolerate himself being behind others?

So, after seeing this news, he immediately became angry.
