Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 59 Meeting the Director

Wu Zhuo had a fairly fulfilling first Spring Festival after his time travel, and it was full of the festive atmosphere.

The only thing worth complaining about is that there are too many relatives.

There were so many uncles, grandmas, and uncles that Wu Chao couldn't remember who was who.

The comfortable New Year's days did not last for a few days.

On February 2, the fourth day of the first lunar month, Wu Chao and the rest of Fahrenheit returned to continue recording the album "Fahrenheit".

After the New Year, everyone's mental state has adjusted well.

Starting from the 1st, it took less than a week for the album "Fahrenheit" to be officially completed.

On the 9th, Wu Zhuo, led by Chen Huiying, went to meet Shen Yi, the director of "Smiling Pasta".

"Are you the Wu Zhuo recommended by Cyndi Wang?"

"Director Shen, I'm Wu Zhuo!"

Perhaps it was because of the recommendation of the heroine and the help of his master in recommending Wu Zhuo, which made Shen Yi have a good impression of Wu Zhuo.

“In terms of image, you are undoubtedly suitable for our role.

I heard that you graduated from Huagang like Wang Xinling, so if that's the case, you should have no problem with drama performance, right?"

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Wu Zhuo's spirits perked up slightly.

From Shen Yi's words, he could feel that the other party was indeed more inclined towards him.

"I don't know what Director Shen's standards are, but I think I can handle most of the roles in idol dramas now."

This was not the time to be humble, Wu Chao tried his best to show himself.

Shen Yi nodded slightly, and did not let Wu Zhuo audition, and said:
“You should have a general idea of ​​the plot of our play.

The role you want to audition for, He Qun, is a singer, and in the play, he will have several concert scenes.

We think that it would be best if the actor is a singer himself and has his own songs, preferably songs that have just been released, or songs that have not yet been released, so that we can directly insert them into the plot. "

"Actually, Director Shen, you don't have to worry about this. Wu Zhuo is a member of Fahrenheit, a key group promoted by Comic and HIM Records. Their new album will be released on the 20th.

In addition, he is a singer-songwriter himself, and the main song of Fahrenheit's new album was composed by him.

He also wrote a song for Luo Zhixiang, which has been confirmed by Luo Zhixiang as the title song of his new album.

So, regarding the song, it would actually be more beneficial to your TV station if you let Wu Chao perform it.

He could tailor songs for TV series.”

Chen Huiying next to her took the initiative to interject.

“Can you write songs?”

When Shen Yi heard Chen Huiying's words, he immediately showed a look of surprise.

After hesitating for a moment, he frowned again, "Could it be a hired gun?"

If Wu Zhuo can really write songs, then he is obviously more suitable for this role than Zhang Dongliang.

Because He Qun in the play is set as a singer-songwriter.

Wu Chao is absolutely the most suitable actor to play this role.

Moreover, Wu Zhuo also found his master and was recommended by Cyndi Wang.

With multiple supports, Wu Zhuo's position in Shen Yi's heart suddenly surpassed that of Zhang Dongliang.

However, he was still a little worried.

After all, he has been in this business for a long time and has seen a lot of things.

Not to mention hiring ghostwriters to write songs, even directors often do this.

"Don't worry about that. You can check with the Music Association. I have registered many songs with the association, all using my real name, Wu Zhuo."

Wu Zhuo assured.

Hearing this, Shen Yi nodded, pondered for a moment, and then said:
"I will discuss it with another director, Mr. Ding Yangguo, and let you be the male lead."

As he spoke, he quickly took out a document from his desk and handed it to Wu Zhuo, "This is the script of 'Smiling Pasta'. Take a look at it when you go back. The crew will officially start filming in March. By then, we will notify you in advance to take the final makeup photos."

"Don't worry, Director Shen. I will read the script carefully."

Wu Chao took over the script.

“Let me make it clear first, the script must not be leaked. Also, although I am the director, I have the right to decide that you will be the leading actor.

But this drama is produced by Sanli after all, and they have the right to replace you without my permission.

If, I mean if Sanli still cannot accept you as the protagonist, please don’t blame me for not being able to help.”

Shen Yi gave a warning.

He was also giving Wu Zhuo a reminder.

This means that he cannot completely decide who will be the protagonist.

Let Wu Zhuo not take it lightly.

……

After coming out of Shen Yi's house, Wu Zhuo and Chen Huiying got straight into the car.

As soon as she got in the car, Chen Huiying frowned and said:

"Shen Yi is still too stable. If he is willing to argue with reason, Sanli will definitely not ignore his opinion.

But judging from what he said, he probably doesn’t want to interfere with Sanli’s decision-making.”

After a pause, she looked at Wu Zhuo, "You don't seem to be worried that Sanli will replace you?"

Wu Zhuo smiled:
"What's there to worry about? I have already fought for what I should have fought for.

If Sanli really doesn't plan to hire me, there's no point in me worrying.

Instead of worrying about that, I’d rather focus on our new record.

As long as the album "Fahrenheit" sells well, I don't believe Sanli will replace me."

Hearing this, Chen Huiying couldn't help but nodded.

Indeed, it all comes down to a question of popularity.

If Wu Chao was more popular than Zhang Dongliang, there would be no need to go through so much trouble to find various connections. Sanli would have invited Wu Chao to act in their dramas.

At this stage, if Wu Chao wants to become very popular, he really has to rely on the album "Fahrenheit".

As she drove, she said:
"If this play fails, I will try to get you into a play on TVB.

The First Media established by TVB in Hong Kong has been developing well and they may have a new project this year.

I'll see if I can get you a role then. If I can't get you the lead role, at least I can get you the second male lead."

Wu Zhuo believed what Chen Huiying said.

Don’t think that TVB is not well-known in mainland China.

In fact, there are many classic TV dramas co-produced by Channel 8 in mainland China and Hong Kong.

Wu Zhuo only found out about this after he had dealt with the Eight Major Channels.

A series of TV dramas that have had a great influence in the mainland in recent years, such as "Xiao Bao and Kangxi", "The Monkey King", "Little Fish and Hua Wuque", "The World's Number One", "The Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust: Lady Hong Fu", and "The Emerald on the Roof", were all invested and filmed by the Eight Major Channels.

Judging from the quality of the above dramas, we can see the quality of the co-productions of the Big Eight TV Stations.

If he can't get "Smiling Pasta", he can get a role in a co-production with Channel 8, which may not be a bad thing for Wu Chao.

However, relatively speaking, it might be difficult for him to be the protagonist in this kind of co-production film.

"Let's focus on the present! I believe that this album of Fahrenheit will not let me down."

Wu Chao doesn't think about entering the mainland for the time being.

The road must be walked step by step.

He is just a young boy in Taiwan, but he is expecting to make a living in the mainland. This is obviously too wishful thinking.
