Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 3 Jiro Wang, Ethan Chen

"I heard from your grandma, which company did you sign with?"

The young woman stood up, a curious look on her face.

Zhuo Wenxuan, also known as Xiaomi, is the leader of happiness and the sweetheart of music.

She was Wu Zhuo's classmate at Huagang Art College. As their homes lived not far from each other, she would often come to the store to visit Wu Zhuo.

So she is one of the rare friends of the original body.

Wu Zhuo took out the contract he had signed with Tianxi before, and Zhuo Wenxuan immediately grabbed it to check.

"Damn it! Why are the terms of your contract so good? You have to be arranged to play the third male lead in at least one film and television production every year..."

In less than two minutes, Zhuo Wenxuan started shouting in dissatisfaction.

"Do you know why?"

Wu Zhuo snatched the contract from her and pointed it at his face.

"Just based on my face, I'd be worth the contract no matter which company I go to.

I am different from you."

"You bastard!"

Zhuo Wenxuan couldn't stand Wu Zhuo's pretense, so she rushed up with her teeth bared.

“I’m not wrong, look at you, you signed with Rolling Stone Records in 99, and then you released an album and then nothing happened.

This clearly shows that they don't value you!
Although I debuted later than you, you can tell from the treatment I received that I will be better than you sooner or later."

Wu Zhuo still remembers the way this guy showed off in front of him when he released his record.

How many copies of the album called "1986" were sold?

Thousands? Hundreds?
Anyway, Wu Zhuo remembered that he failed.

It was also because of the failure of this album that Zhuo Wenxuan, who was signed by Rolling Stone as early as 1999 because of her imitation of Li Wen's song "Sunny Day", was temporarily hidden by Rolling Stone.

"You know shit, that's because I need to study, otherwise I would have been a big star.

Young man, put away your proud face!

When I become famous, you will beg me for help."

"By the time you become famous, I might have already gone global."

“Ahhhh…Wu Huozhuo, you’re so annoying!”

……

Zhuo Wenxuan left, her eyes red with anger at Wu Zhuo, and she left without looking back.

Before leaving, she vowed never to talk to Wu Zhuo again.

Wu Chao didn't care about it at all.

He had heard Zhuo Wenxuan say this dozens of times, but not once had she successfully fulfilled it.

After she left, Wu Chao cleaned up the mess in the room caused by the two people's fight.

Wu Chao then went into the kitchen to check out the sweet potato starch and corn starch, which are necessary ingredients for making oyster omelette.

Of course, the main thing is oysters.

But it is my grandma who makes this every day. She goes to the market to pick out newly-available oysters and brings them back.

Half an hour later, grandma came back.

As soon as I entered the door, I looked around, "Where's Xiao Mi? Didn't I ask her to help me look after the store?"

"Her mother asked her to go back." Wu Zhuo didn't say that he was mad at her and she left.

Grandma has always wanted to bring Wu Zhuo and Zhuo Wenxuan together.

In her eyes, Zhuo Wenxuan is the best granddaughter-in-law.

Every time Wu Zhuo had an argument with Zhuo Wenxuan, she always stood on Zhuo Wenxuan's side.

The original person was even beaten for this.

Grandma is actually not that old.

I am only 61 this year and my health is better than that of most people.

Because she is in good health, the store is still managed by her.

However, because her original body was in a coma, she looked much more haggard this year.

"How's your contract going?"

She asked Wu Chao to help carry the oysters they brought back into the kitchen, and she asked Wu Chao about the contract.

"It's already been discussed, and we'll start working in two days."

"I don't really understand your line of work. Grandma just wants to tell you to take good care of yourself and don't be like..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

The older generation has taboos about these things.

I feel like telling it out will be fatal.

"Don't worry, Grandma! I'm in great shape now, nothing will happen."

Wu Chao rolled up his sleeves, wanting to show off his muscles.

Unfortunately, because the original body had been lying down for too long, his originally strong muscles had long disappeared, and now he looked very thin.

……

The morning after two days.

Wu Zhuo got up at the right time, said hello to his grandma, and rode his motorcycle to Tianxi Entertainment Company.

In the future, he will definitely have to travel back and forth between Tianxi Entertainment and home frequently, and it will be inconvenient to take the bus or a taxi.

So, the day before yesterday, Wu Zhuo went out of his way to buy a motorcycle.

It’s a Sanyang brand, and although it’s a model from a few years ago, it’s still pretty cool to drive.

In fact, Wu Chao had thought about buying a car.

He had an accident while serving in the military and received a subsidy, which was enough for him to buy a decent car.

But think about it and forget it.

The island is not like the mainland, where people gather densely and traffic jams are very serious.

In fact, it’s not Mazda’s fault that it wasn’t high-end enough back then. Traffic jams didn’t matter whether you were driving a Mercedes-Benz, BMW or Mazda.

It will be blocked when it is necessary.

On the contrary, motorcycles are a relatively convenient means of transportation and are less likely to get stuck in traffic.

Of course, most people who choose this means of transportation are young people.

In order to be cool, act cool, and pick up girls.

Motorcycle boys and literary young men are the two types of people most popular among Taiwanese girls.

Unfortunately, the original body has both.

When he was in school, he was not only a member of the school's motorcycle gang, but also formed a band with others...

Riding a bike is indeed much more convenient than waiting for the bus. In about half an hour, Wu Zhuo arrived downstairs of Tianxi Entertainment Company.

With the familiarity from last time, Wu Zhuo found Chen Huiying's office directly with ease.

Chen Huiying's office was quite lively. In addition to Chen Huiying herself and Huang Zekai, there were several other people.

Two of the young men sitting on the sofa caught Wu Zhuo's attention.

Both of them have the kind of appearance that can be recognized at a glance on the street.

To put it simply, it's handsome.

The two of them sat there without saying anything, but their actions were different.

One of them seemed to be very concerned about his hairstyle, and would fiddle with his hair with his hands from time to time. He exuded a feeling of, "Look at me, I'm a fangirl, I'm cool."

The other person had a gentle expression. When he heard someone coming in at the door, he turned around and saw Wu Zhuo, and smiled gently.

"Wu Zhuo is here. Please sit for a while. Some people haven't arrived yet. Let's go to Komi Company together after they arrive."

Chen Huiying said something to Wu Zhuo and turned back to talk on the phone.

"I don't care what makes you feel uncomfortable today. You must show up at the company within half an hour. Otherwise, don't come."

"Hello, I'm Wu Zhuo, a newcomer who just signed with the company two days ago."

Wu Zhuo walked towards the two people sitting on the sofa.

"I'm Jiro Wang, hello."

"Chen Yiru, I joined the company last year through the Canadian Sunshine Boyz activities. I should be considered a newcomer like you." The two of them stretched out their hands and shook hands with Wu Chao.

"Who is Sister Huiying talking to on the phone? Why is she so angry?"

Wu Zhuo always thought that Chen Huiying was a gentle person, but he didn't expect to see her getting angry when they met for the second time. This really surprised him.

“It seems like another artist under her label is not feeling well and said that he can’t come today.

You know we were going to audition today, and if he did this at the last minute, I would be angry too."

Chen Yiru explained to Wu Zhuo in a low voice.

Perhaps because they were both newcomers, he felt very close to Wu Zhuo.

"Actually, Wu Genglin is a nice guy. I worked with him on a play. His health is not very good, but he has a good personality and is a very easy-to-get-along-with little brother. I don't think he was absent on purpose."

Wang Dongcheng next to him was a little dissatisfied with what Chen Yiru said.

The guy he called Chen Huiying was someone he had just worked with on "It Started with a Kiss". He was actually a very easy-going little brother.

little brother?
Wu Zhuo looked a little strange.

After seeing Jiro Wang and Chen Yiru (Chen Yiru), Wu Chao probably guessed who was absent.

Wu Genglin, although the name is different.

But in all likelihood it’s Aaron Yan.

Jiro Wang actually said that Aaron Yan is a very good little brother.

Sure enough, he thought it was too simple.

He treats him as his younger brother, but he is treated as a target for conquest!

Perhaps because he thought it was impolite to gossip about others behind their backs, Chen Yiru stopped talking about Wu Genglin and started chatting with Wu Chao instead.

"How old are you? Probably not as old as me, right? I'm 25 years old this year. I've been living in Canada and haven't been back to Taiwan very often.

You should be a local of Formosa, right? Are there any fun places in Formosa? When are you free, take me for a tour?

You don’t know, after I came to Taiwan, I didn’t have many acquaintances to hang out with, I was almost sick from being bored.”

Chen Yiru is very talkative and very outgoing. He starts by asking three questions in a row.

Wu Zhuo didn't mind this.

He had a good impression of Chen Yiru.

"You are older than me. I just turned 19 in July. My home is in Taipei. If you have nothing to do, you can come to my home and I will treat you to oyster omelette.

As for playing, it depends on the time. When we are both free, I will take you around."

"Okay! Good brother, you can just call me Kevin from now on. If you don't mind, is it okay for me to call you Ah Zhuo?"

"No problem at all."

Wu Zhuo and Chen Yiru got along very well. The two had a long discussion about astronomy, geography, politics and humanities. Jiro Wang was stunned when he heard this. He thought to himself, "Oh my god, this is Zhang Fei meeting Li Kui. They are both evil."

He had sat with Chen Yiru for more than ten minutes before and had a general idea that he was a chatterbox.

I thought Wu Chao couldn't stand Chen Yiru.

After all, he looks rather stern and seems to be the type who doesn't talk much.

Unexpectedly, he saw it wrong.

This person doesn't seem to be a talkative person, but when it comes to chatting, he is just as good as Chen Yiru.

He talked about astronomy, geography, politics and humanities fluently, which made Chen Yiru look thoughtful.

"I think the United States will withdraw its troops from Iraq sooner or later. Iraq..."

Wu Zhuo talked incessantly about his personal views on the situation in Iraq.

Chen Yiru went from interrupting at the beginning to listening quietly, looking at Wu Chao from time to time, wanting to speak but not saying anything.

"Let's go! No need to wait. Kaiser, please make some arrangements. Don't give Wu Genglin the original notice."

Just when Wu Zhuo and Chen Yiru were chatting animatedly, Chen Huiying stood up and spoke to Huang Zekai with an unpleasant look on her face.

After a pause, she continued, "Those notices that have been negotiated will be distributed to Chen Yiru and Wu Zhuo.

I just don’t believe that without him, the company won’t be able to function.”

Wu Zhuo and Chen Yiru looked at each other.

Both of them saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.

There's nothing to be shy about.

In the entertainment industry, announcements are very important.

It could be an advertisement, a modeling shoot, or a television appearance.

These things are what a newcomer must have.

Only through these announcements will you become known step by step.

One more announcement not only means more money, but also more exposure, which means the possibility of becoming popular.

As for saying sorry to Wu Genglin.

This has nothing to do with Wu Zhuo and Chen Yiru.

This is the company's arrangement.

Besides, to be honest, they didn't know Wu Genglin, so they didn't feel any guilt at all.

Led by Chen Huiying, the group started to go out.

The company arranged a special vehicle for pick-up and drop-off, so Wu Zhuo's motorcycle was not used.

Wu Zhuo and Chen Yiru were arranged to ride in the same car, along with Chen Yiru's assistant agent Wu Ziyi and Huang Zekai.

After getting in the car, Wu Zhuo wanted to continue the previous topic with Chen Yiru.

He had been holding it in for a long time since he traveled through time, and it was rare for him to find someone to talk to.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they got in the car, Chen Yiru said that he didn't sleep well last night and wanted to make up for his sleep. Wu Chao felt unsatisfied and had to give up.

It is not too far from Zhongxiao East Road in Zhongzheng District where Tianxi Entertainment is located to Jiaxing Road in Xinyi District where Comic International Film and Television Company is located, with a straight-line distance of only about eight kilometers.

Ten minutes later, the group arrived at their destination.

Wu Chao and his group are not the only ones coming for the audition today.

The Tiandihe agency, the eight major TV stations, and Komi’s internal artists all gathered together, making Komi International seem very lively.

Wu Zhuo also saw a few familiar faces among them.

Tang Yuzhe, the one who played Rex in the original KO One.

Other actors include those who played Sister Shark and Angel.

He didn't see Wu Zun.

But it’s not surprising, that person is different from ordinary artists.

He is a second-generation rich man from Brunei and entered the entertainment industry purely for fun.

Moreover, as a second-generation rich man, he didn't need to audition at all.

If he had the role he needed, he would have booked it right away; there was no need for him to make a trip.

When they arrived at Komi Company, the group began to separate.

Jiro Wang was called aside directly. He was the company's designated protagonist and did not need to compete for the role with Wu Chao and others.

Then there is Chen Yiru, who was also cast for the role of Wang Arthur.

After the two left, Wu Chao waited there with the others, and a staff member came over to distribute role scripts to everyone.

Wu Zhuo's was brought by Huang Zekai himself.

"Your role is actually one of the main characters. The company originally gave it to Wu Genglin, but he didn't come today, so Sister Huiying asked me to give the role to you."

Then Huang Zekai whispered again, "You don't have to worry about the audition. Although there are many competitors for this role, they are not very competitive."

Upon hearing this, Wu Zhuo immediately understood that it was just a formality. On the surface, he was competing with others, but in fact, the role had already been chosen for him.

Wu Zhuo looked down at his role.

ko4, Ding Xiaoyu, nicknamed the King of Endurance and Deadly Xiaoyu, is usually taciturn, hates violence, and can't stand others touching his head. His left fist has the power of a truck.

Looking at the role script in his hand, Wu Zhuo's eyes flashed with a strange light.

This role was originally supposed to be played by Aaron Yan.

Now it's up to me.

Does that mean that I might have replaced Aaron Yan inexplicably?
If this drama is aired, will you be the first choice when Fahrenheit is re-formed?
