Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 44: A Call from Cyndi Wang (Please Read)

The signing event for the soundtrack was mainly promoted by Wu Chao and his three teammates.

But it is undeniable that this is not their personal album, so it is impossible to give all the time to Wu Chao and others.

After finishing singing two songs, Wu Zhuo and the other three returned to the backstage to wait for the others to finish singing.

After everyone has finished singing, they will all sign autographs for fans who will purchase the KO One Original Soundtrack album later.

While the others were singing, Wu Zhuo and his three companions had nothing to do, so they each played with their cell phones.

Wu Zhuo first sent Zhuo Wenxuan a picture of the autograph session, with the note: "There are so many fans! So annoying!"

Then he switched to Yahoo, and Guo Biting sent him a message.

【Tingmei Tingmei: Good luck at the autograph session! 】

Wu Zhuo replied to her.

[Demacia: Of course, but it's a pity that you are not in the treasure island, otherwise you can celebrate with me the group's upcoming production and release of the first album]

Guo Biting should be at work filming at this time, so she didn't respond.

It was Zhuo Wenxuan who replied.

"Why are you so arrogant! I'm telling you, I've been officially confirmed to star in the TV series "The Queen of Love" produced by CTS.

This is CTS’s annual idol drama.

Also, the record company has told me that they will produce a second solo album for me next year.

Just wait until I become famous and ask me for protection!"

Seeing this, Wu Zhuo couldn't help but sneer out loud.

Compared to Amber Kuo, Winnie Zhuo is more familiar with him than anyone else.

Moreover, Zhuo Wenxuan has a lively personality, and it is more fun to chat with her.

"That's amazing! Unfortunately, our group's solo albums are already in production.

There are two songs that I wrote myself.

Come on, beg me, maybe I’ll be soft-hearted and give you a song.”

"Go away! You're so annoying! You act like it's so great to be able to write songs.

Also, the songs you wrote before were so bad, but now they are favored by record companies. Are they blind?"

"I was just writing casually before. You should have seen it in school. I am actually a rare genius in a century. Writing songs is just a piece of cake!"

Just as I was about to send the text message, the phone suddenly rang.

“I am looking at the moon”

"How many dreams are flying freely"

"Yesterday was forgotten and the wind dried up the sorrow"

"I want to meet you again on that desolate road"

Cell phone ringtones in 2005 were extremely loud.

As soon as "Above the Moon", a song released by Phoenix Legend this year that broke the record for ringtone downloads in mainland China, sounded, everyone in the backstage looked in the direction of Wu Chao.

Wu Zhuo blushed.

When his peers were using "Nocturne" and "Jiangnan", he actually used this ringtone song for the elderly, which was indeed a bit too eye-catching.

Wu Zhuo frantically lowered the volume and walked to the corner to answer the call.

The call was from Cyndi Wang.

The other party told Wu Chao that her album "Cyndi With U" was also released today, and she would also hold a signing event in Ximending.

Knowing that Wu Zhuo was also holding a signing event here, I called him.

Finally, Wang Xinling explained the purpose of her call. Sanli Television was planning a new TV series and invited her to be the female lead.

She recommended Wu Zhuo to audition for the male lead.

"This opportunity is definitely a good one for you. Sanli attaches great importance to this drama. You should all know Sanli's dramas, which have always had good ratings.

If you can secure the leading role, you will soon be famous.”

Hearing this, Wu Zhuo asked solemnly, "When is the audition time?"

After a pause, he asked again: "I am now considered a member of Komi, will this have any impact?"

Although Baodao Province is not big, it has many TV stations.

All TV stations want to compete for the ratings share of Taiwan's TV dramas.

Although there will be cooperation between them, competition will outweigh cooperation.

Basically every TV station has its own cooperative company.

For example, in addition to its own dramas, TVB has also reached an alliance with Comic.

The same is true for Sanli. Sanli established its own huge agency department, and many famous artists in Taiwan came from its agency department.

Generally speaking, adhering to the idea of ​​keeping the wealth within the family, TV stations and companies tend to only choose their own artists when filming dramas.

Even if they use artists from other companies, it will only be because the artist is very popular, so popular that the TV station will give up its prejudice.

"Of course there are competitors. I heard from Sanli that they are planning to invite Nicholas Tse to play the leading role.

As of now, Nicholas Tse has a better chance than you. He is more famous and his song "Who Will You Think of When You Are Lonely" topped the ringtone download list in August.

But you also have advantages. First of all, your appearance is better than Zhang Dongliang, and you graduated from Huagang University.

Secondly, "KO One" is very popular among young people. You are one of the three protagonists. Although you are not as popular as Jiro Wang, you still have a lot of fans.

This can be seen from the huge sales of your photos.

One last point, this drama is still in the planning stage. Didn’t you say a few days ago that your personal album will be released soon?
If, if you get good results, this will be an important bargaining chip for you.

Besides, I am the leading actress, and if I recommend you to play a couple with me, Sanli will definitely give me some face.”

"I understand. Thank you, Sister Xinling. I'll treat you to a meal some other day."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Zhuo pondered for a moment.

The heroine is Cyndi Wang and the hero may be Nicholas Tse, so this drama should be the 2006 idol drama ratings champion in Taiwan, "Smiling Pasta".

If it's really this drama, then I can really try for it.

At present, it is definitely impossible for Komi International to let him play the leading role.

First of all, Komi International was only divided into groups last year. After the grouping, its strength is not as good as before, and not many dramas are invested and filmed each year.

At present, the only confirmed project is "Oriental Juliet", and the protagonist of this drama has been confirmed to be Wu Zun, and production has already started.

However, Channel 8 does have its own dramas.

But Wu Zhuo had never heard of any of the dramas being planned there in his previous life.

Obviously, these are all dramas with poor ratings.

Therefore, if you want to play the leading role in the drama "Smile Pasta", you really have to fight for it.

All in all, he still has some chance of winning.

Wang Xinling has been extremely popular in the past two years, and her consecutive best-selling albums have made her one of the top singers in Taiwan.

In terms of TV dramas, the drama "Heaven's Wedding Dress" in which she starred with Ming Dao last year had a huge viewership rating and achieved remarkable results in more than a dozen countries in Asia.

This year, when she signed a contract with Avex Records, Avex made a bold statement that it would invest 1 billion to help her expand her acting career.

Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, it is an undeniable fact that Avex is actively promoting her.

Due to multiple factors, what Wang Xinling said carries a lot of weight.

Since Sanli confirmed her as the leading actress first, it means that they value her the most.

In this case, even if Sanli does not listen to her suggestions directly, it is unlikely that they will not consider them.
