Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 318 Charity Performance for Disaster Relief
"There must be someone behind him."

Wu Zhuo stroked his chin. "Is there any way to shut him up?"

“That’s difficult,” Chen Huiying shook her head.

"Never mind then!" Wu Zhuo asked casually.
But seeing how arrogant this guy is on the show, he's really annoying!

Shaking his head, Wu Zhuo simply turned off the TV, out of sight, out of mind.

"SM Entertainment would like to meet with you to discuss the possibility of you forming a temporary pairing with Yoona."

Seeing that Wu Zhuo had stopped talking about the topic, Chen Huiying brought up another matter.

Wu Zhuo previously released an EP with Lin Yoona as a temporary duo.

Both songs were huge hits in South Korea and received a great response throughout Asia.

The song "Tik Tok" was even bought by QQ Speed.

With this EP, Im Yoona not only rose to fame in South Korea, but also gained considerable popularity in China.

The success of this EP made SM Entertainment realize Wu Zhuo's ability to mentor female artists.

I've been in contact with Wu Zhuo recently, hoping he and Lin Yoona can collaborate on another EP.

"Tell SM that I don't plan to release any more temporary group EPs for the time being."

Wu Zhuo already has enough problems.

Although his relationship with Im Yoon-ah is ambiguous.

The two even slept together one night.

But personal relationships are personal relationships, and recording songs for a temporary group definitely takes time, and he simply doesn't have that much time.

"Then I'll reply to them."

Chen Huiying nodded; she was not surprised by Wu Zhuo's answer.

She had previously discussed his career plans for the coming year with Wu Zhuo.

Regarding the issue of forming a temporary group, she and Wu Zhuo both agreed that they could not form another one.

Given Wu Zhuo's current position, a temporary alliance is no longer of any help to him.

On the contrary, it will take up a lot of his time.

According to Wu Zhuo and her ideas, Wu Zhuo should now focus on his personal development.

Let alone a temporary combination.

Even with the Fahrenheit sub-unit, his energy levels have to decrease.

Although the subunit will definitely release an album.

However, it will not be released as a formal album, but rather as an EP.

……

Solo concerts in South Korea are not much different in scale from those in Japan.

Tickets were also sold out long ago.

That's what you call appeal.

Wu Zhuo himself didn't even realize that tens of thousands of tickets were already gone.

Not only were the tickets sold out, but many people were also unable to get them.

Because his tickets sold so well, HIM International Music is already planning a large-scale tour for Wu Zhuo next year.

The specific time has not yet been determined.

But the scale is definitely not small; at the very least, it would be similar to Fahrenheit's wave of popularity last year.

After arriving in South Korea, Wu Zhuo, who no longer needed to deal with ticket sales, had much more free time.

Because of the tight schedule, he did not participate in any more programs in South Korea.

Instead, he made the most of his time to practice dancing, and when he had free time, he would play the uniform fetish with Lim Yoon-a.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On May 24, Wu Zhuo's solo concert in South Korea officially began.

The concert didn't cause much of a stir.

The main reason is that the previous incident in Japan caused a huge stir, and there's a precedent for that.

Although this concert in South Korea also sparked widespread discussion in South Korea, it did not generate much buzz in China.

After finishing his concert in South Korea, Wu Zhuo didn't stay long and went straight to Canada. On the 28th and 30th, he completed the remaining two concerts in Canada and the United States respectively.

While he was busy with his personal charity concert, Jackie Chan and Jet Li were already busy in Hong Kong.

The two frequently contacted friends in the industry, inviting them to participate in the star-studded charity performance in Hong Kong on the 3rd.

Meanwhile, out of respect for Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Wu Zhuo, media outlets across mainland China, Taiwan, and Hong Kong began to extensively report on the performance.

"When one place is in trouble, help comes from all sides. On June 6.3rd, the largest star lineup in the history of the three regions will meet you in Happy Valley, Hong Kong."

Hong Kong's TVB broadcasts this slogan every day.

In addition, promotional posters for this performance can be seen everywhere in Singapore, Taiwan, and other places.

This performance was free of charge; all the celebrities who attended performed for free.

All audience members are welcome to attend the event.

Then, the celebrities will solicit donations from the audience on site.

Of course, although this performance appears to be aimed at a general audience.

But in reality, this can be described as a show for the rich.

The initiators, including Wu Zhuo and Jackie Chan, sent invitations to almost all the wealthy people in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, and other places.

The purpose was clear: to get them to donate money.

Of course, that doesn't mean ordinary viewers aren't important.

The purpose of this performance was to raise funds for the post-disaster reconstruction of Wenchuan.

Even a penny or a dime represents a heartfelt sentiment.

If there are many ordinary viewers, and each person donates one yuan, it will amount to a huge sum.

In any case, Wu Zhuo and the others welcomed anyone who was willing to come and watch the performance.

In fact, they would love for more people to come.

The more people attend, the greater the impact of the performance, and naturally, the more money can be raised.

Of course, this performance did not rely entirely on the live audience.

Wu Zhuo, Jackie Chan, and others also contacted several television stations, including TVB in Hong Kong, GTV in Taiwan, and Singapore Television.

Please ask them to broadcast the performance and open a hotline to call on everyone watching on television to support it...

On the 1st, Wu Zhuo rushed back to Hong Kong immediately after finishing his concert in the United States.

After arriving in Hong Kong, he went straight to Happy Valley.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li were already here.

They are currently supervising the setup of the venue.

Happy Valley Racecourse in Hong Kong is a racecourse that can accommodate more than 55,000 people.

It is the largest performance venue in Hong Kong besides the Hong Kong Stadium.

In 1992, when a major flood struck mainland China, a fundraising performance organized by Hong Kong's Stars was held here.

"Coming back here, I sometimes feel quite emotional. Back in 92, during the charity performance for disaster relief, Anita Mui sang for several hours straight, and when she came offstage, she was hoarse."

Wu Zhuo just arrived today, and Jackie Chan showed him around the venue.

At first glance, the entire venue was filled with tents in the center, with only a small stage.

The rest of the space was empty, and small stools that didn't take up much space had already been set up.

At that time, the audience will gather here.

The venue setup was probably based on the setup of the 92 performance, which made Jackie Chan nostalgic.

He kept explaining to Wu Zhuo about their performances here back then.

"This is where the rich people sit. Back then, a wealthy woman offered 500,000 yuan to have Leon Lai, whose career had already ended, sing 'Sorry I Love You'."

At that time, Leon Lai had been singing for several hours straight.

Because he wasn't prepared, he sang the song off-key.

Because of this incident, he almost failed to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings and his music career was almost ruined.

As he passed a row of seats that looked relatively luxurious, Jackie Chan smiled and pointed to a certain spot.
