Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 300 Novel Copyright
"These people are really speechless. If they have the ability, they can defeat you with their works instead of doing such petty tricks."

Guo Biting kept muttering to herself, cursing those who were doing tricks behind Wu Zhuo's back.

"This is how it is in this line of work. I'm used to it!"

Wu Zhuo closed his eyes and dozed off a little.

He spent most of the night studying the script last night, and got up very early today, so he was a little sleep-deprived.

Seeing that he was very sleepy, Guo Biting stopped talking and just continued to press his head.

Wu Zhuo fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, more than an hour had passed.

"Why didn't you call me, you fool!"

Guo Biting's legs were clearly so numb that she didn't even call Wu Zhuo.

As soon as Wu Zhuo came up, she began to rub her thighs.

Seeing this, Wu Zhuo couldn't help but complain.

While complaining, I helped her massage.

"It's nothing serious, just press it and it will be fine."

Guo Biting really enjoyed Wu Zhuo's massage and responded with a smile.

"By the way, I recently accepted an advertisement for Extra Gum. Can you give me some advice on whether I should take it or not?"

"Yida?"

Wu Zhuo paused, "Why not take it? Is the advertising fee not high?"

In his previous life, Wu Zhuo first knew about Guo Biting from the Extra chewing gum advertisement.

This ad is truly a classic.

Guo Biting's image of long straight black hair in the film made her the dream lover of countless innocent boys.

It was also with this advertisement that she officially became popular in the entertainment industry.

But the situation in this life is a little different.

With Wu Chao's intervention, Guo Biting starred in "Magic Sword Life and Death Chess", a TV series that received good ratings in mainland China.

Guo Biting also successfully became famous in mainland China with her role as the second female lead in the film.

From last year to this year, she has taken on two or three dramas. Although the results were average, at least she has established a certain status in the mainland entertainment circle.

Instead of being a nobody like in the previous life.

"It's rare for you to have a few days off, I want to accompany you!"

Guo Biting stuck out her tongue, feeling a little embarrassed.

Speaking of which, Guo Biting is sometimes quite contradictory.

When she is unrestrained, she is frighteningly unrestrained; when she is immature and shy, it is as if she has just met Wu Zhuo.

"It's okay! It won't take you long to shoot this commercial. At worst, you can come visit me on the set later."

Wu Chao has finished one of his three dramas this year.

"Ip Man" will not start filming until the second half of the year, and Wu Chao's focus will be on "Painted Skin" next.

Part of this drama was filmed before.

It stopped again and again in the middle.

However, this stop was not entirely due to Wu Chao.

Several actors from the "Painted Skin" crew are first-line actors in the domestic market.

There is a lot of work in each.

For example, Zhao Wei had to finish filming "Red Cliff" before she could devote herself to the crew of "Painted Skin".

Others like Zhou Xun, Sun Li, Wu Jing and others all have their own jobs.

Therefore, after Wu Chao left the crew last time, the crew stopped immediately, let the other actors finish their work, and then filmed all at once.

"It's not a good idea for me to visit the set!"

Guo Biting was obviously very excited, but also a little hesitant.

Wu Zhuo is not the same as when he just debuted.

Now that his relationship has been exposed, it will definitely have a huge impact on his career.

"We have worked together so many times, who would not believe me if I said we were friends?" Actually! Wu Zhuo admitted that he was a little too naive when he first debuted.

It’s also because I read too many novels in my previous life.

He always felt that he was talented and capable, and it didn't matter if his relationship was exposed.

But it was only after he had really gone far in this industry that he discovered.

He really can't expose his relationship casually.

Now he is not alone.

He has more than a dozen endorsements.

When signing the contracts for these endorsements, there would more or less be a clause that Wu Chao could not disclose his relationship.

As for why the brand added these terms.

It's very simple, because most of Wu Zhuo's current fan base are female fans between the ages of sixteen and twenty-two or twenty-three.

If Wu Chao announces his relationship, there is no doubt that a large number of fans will stop following him.

If it were in the plot of a novel in the previous life, there would definitely be a saying that the protagonist doesn’t care about fans leaving.

But the reality is.

If the fan loss really happens, Wu Chao will have to bear huge economic losses.

As for endorsements, the reason for signing Wu Chao is because he has many fans.

The sudden large-scale loss of fans will definitely have an impact on the brand endorsement.

Therefore, the terms of most endorsements are not as simple as a simple statement of not announcing the relationship.

If it is really announced, Wu Chao will need to pay compensation.

This is not a small amount, but is counted in millions.

Therefore, Wu Zhuo’s strategy now is to deny all rumors about his relationship.

Speaking of romance rumors.

There is actually quite a lot of news about him.

Both Guo Biting and Liu Shishi have been reported by the media to be in a relationship with Wu Chao.

Other actresses who have worked with him, such as Cyndi Wang and Gillian Chung, have been written about by the media.

Even Liu Yifei, who has nothing to do with Wu Zhuo, has been linked to Wu Zhuo by the media.

It was at an award ceremony, and Wu Zhuo and Liu Yifei were arranged to sit next to each other.

Wu Zhuo, who was idle at the time, couldn't resist his curiosity and asked Liu Yifei a few questions in a low voice. He was then photographed by reporters and the news was titled "Wu Zhuo is suspected of being in love with Liu Yifei".

"Then after I finish filming in Shenzhen, I'll come directly to your crew to find you!"

Guo Biting smiled sweetly.

……

In the afternoon, Wu Zhuo did not stay at home.

But he didn't go shopping with Guo Biting because he had some important things to do.

Two years ago, Wu Chao had been asking his copyright management company to acquire the copyrights of some novels for future film and television adaptations.

In two years, under the guidance of Wu Zhuo, the copyright company has obtained the film and television adaptation rights of many well-known novels.

Not to mention "Ghost Blows Out the Light", the copyright of this series of novels has been directly bought out by Wu Chao.

Others include "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

Yes, Wu Zhuo also had someone get the film and television rights to The Lost Tomb.

Although The Lost Tomb has not been completed yet, Wu Chao has obtained the priority rights for the film and television adaptations of several subsequent series in addition to the current ones.

Then, there are others such as "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" and "Why Sheng Xiaomo"...

What makes Wu Chao most proud is that he has obtained the film and television adaptation rights for more than a dozen novels by Liu Cixin, including "The Three-Body Problem", which was published just over a year ago.

Among them is "The Wandering Earth", the pinnacle of future domestic science fiction.

Wu Chao, who has a large number of copyrights in his hands, is now ambitious.

He plans to set up a film and television production company this year to prepare for the film and television adaptations of these novels.

And the person he met today was the capable person he had found for his future film and television company.
