Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 273 Jay Chou Invitation

“Bad Boy Records.”

Chen Huiying said a name.

This name made Wu Zhuo look confused.

“What record company is this?”

Chen Huiying explained:

"A record label founded by Sean Combs in 1993, focusing on R&B and hip-hop songs."

"Sean Combs?"

Hearing this name, Wu Zhuo couldn't help but face darkening, "Are you talking about P. Diddy? He wants to sign me?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Chen Huiying looked puzzled.

"If it's any other record company, we can still talk about it, but forget it if it's P. Diddy's record company. I can't afford it."

When talking about P. Diddy, Wu Chao couldn't help but think of Justin Bieber.

And the anus tightened.

Poor Justin Bieber, he became famous, but he also had to endure things he shouldn't have.

Wu Chao doesn't want to be the next Justin Bieber.

No, it’s probably because he doesn’t want to be Justin No. 1. Justin Bieber hasn’t made his debut yet.

"Bad Boy Records has some pretty good production skills, why don't you even talk about it?"

Chen Huiying doesn't know much about this.

Although she supported Wu Chao's decision, she wanted to know the reason.

"Puff Daddy has a bad reputation in the United States. Not to mention his involvement in organized crime, he has done many things that ruined people's lives."

Wu Zhuo explained casually, and then said:
“And, to be honest, we don’t need to go far away, such as Sony, EMI, or even Warner, which I have no cooperation with.

These record companies would all be very willing to take my record contract.

If we really want to give out the English record contracts, these record companies are more suitable.”

Bad Boys only have some power in the United States at best, but Sony, Warner and other companies are international giants.”

The reason why I didn’t sign with big international companies in the past was to avoid being stuck with them.

Well now.

If Wu Chao wanted to change record companies, he would definitely choose these big international companies first.

Not to mention an English record deal.

These big international companies are much more powerful than the bad boys.

"Then I'll go back and reject him."

After hearing this, although Chen Huiying was still very curious, she did not ask any more questions.

……

On February 2, just two or three days before the Chinese New Year, the crew of Painted Skin officially went on holiday.

Everyone is busy going home to celebrate the New Year.

Only Wu Zhuo rushed to BJ after leaving the crew.

On the 4th, the Spring Festival Gala program team had their final rehearsal.

After the rehearsal, we waited for New Year's Eve to arrive.

Early in the morning, Wu Zhuo rushed to the studio to prepare.

Today's rehearsal was a large-scale one, with all the performing teams, singers and actors participating in this year's Spring Festival Gala being present.

The entire studio seemed unusually star-studded.

Everywhere you look, you see familiar faces.

"Hi Wu Zhuo!"

"Wu Zhuo, I haven't seen you for a while. You've become darker!"

"Abel, can you sign an autograph?"

Wu Chao doesn’t actually know most people, but that doesn’t stop them from greeting him.

Wu Zhuo didn't pretend, but greeted everyone who greeted him seriously.

"I knew you would come today! I have a premiere tomorrow, how about coming over to help?"

As soon as he walked through the crowd, Wu Zhuo met an acquaintance.

The person who came was another one of the new Four Heavenly Kings, Jay Chou.

In his previous life, the song he performed at this year's Spring Festival Gala was "Blue and White Porcelain".

Even after his song was copied by Wu Zhuo in this life, he was still selected for the Spring Festival Gala with "Lanting Preface".

"That Slam Dunk?"

Wu Zhuo asked. Jay Chou's latest movie seems to be "Slam Dunk".

Speaking of which, this drama has a connection with Wu Zhuo.

This film was jointly invested by Shanghai Film Group, Changhong Film Group and Emperor Entertainment Group.

The cast brings together actors from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong.

Hong Kong and Taiwan are the main ones.

In April 2007, when the film project was launched, Changhong also invited Wu Chao to play the role of the older brother played by Chen Bolin.

At that time, Wu Zhuo had just become popular in the music scene with "My Personal Style" and Fahrenheit's "Sorry Sorry".

The name of the new Four Heavenly Kings has just become known.

At that time, many people thought it was appropriate to let Wu Zhuo play the second male lead for Jay Chou.

However, Wu Chao declined the role because of the release of Fahrenheit's album and his own TV series shoot.

Of course, there is a certain reason why Chen Huiying doesn't want Wu Chao to play a supporting role for Jay Chou.

At that time, Chen Huiying was promoting Wu Chao as the New Four Heavenly Kings.

In external marketing, Wu Zhuo is no less than Jay Chou.

In this case, if Wu Chao plays a supporting role for Jay Chou, it will make it difficult for the company to carry out marketing work.

After all, you keep saying you are as famous as Jay Chou, but in the end you end up playing a supporting role to Jay Chou.

What does this make the audience think?
The audience will definitely subconsciously think that you are really not as good as Jay Chou.

This reason is actually also the reason why the New Four Heavenly Kings have never appeared in a movie.

Wu Zhuo is not Jacky Cheung, who only focuses on singing and is willing to be a supporting role.

His goal is to develop two lines, although the main music.

But the film aspect is also important.

In this case, it is impossible for Wu Zhuo to leave the impression to the outside world that he is not as good as Jay Chou and can only play a supporting role for him.

"It's Slam Dunk. The movie will be officially released on the first day of the Chinese New Year, but considering that everyone has to go back home to celebrate the New Year, the production team decided to organize a premiere tomorrow and invite some people in the industry to help out."

Jay Chou still speaks in that impressive accent.

Wu Zhuo was really afraid that he would say "Oh, that's good!"

"What time tomorrow?"

Wu Zhuo is not opposed to helping.

The work in the entertainment industry is not in vain.

He helped Jay Chou today, and he will return the favor later.

Of course, Stephen Chow’s is another matter.

"Eleven o'clock."

Jay Chou smiled and told the time, then couldn't help laughing:

"Recently the media has been saying that we are not in the same frame. We can make them happy tomorrow."

The fact that Wu Zhuo and Jay Chou never met each other actually exists.

At this year's music awards, Jay Chou will not attend any award where Wu Zhuo appears.

On the contrary, Wu Chao will not attend some awards that Jay Chou attends.

This is a tacit understanding reached by both parties.

To avoid making things difficult for the organizers.

After all, the performance of both of their albums last year is obvious to all.

Especially Wu Chao's album "Mr. Senses", which had great sales and reputation.

And Jay Chou's side.

Although his sales volume is not as good as Wu Zhuo's, his songs are not as popular as Wu Zhuo's on the music charts.

But he has a lot of experience!

With his popularity over the years.

If I show up, will the organizer give me a prize?

But if he gave it to Wu Zhuo, it would be difficult to explain.

So, Wu Zhuo and Jay Chou simply agreed not to appear at the same award ceremony.

Unless it is an extremely important award.

"Then we have to let the media take more photos, otherwise we don't know when we will be on the same stage again."

Wu Zhuo couldn't help but joke with Jay Chou.
