Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 323 Being a Host
Around 10:30 a.m., spectators began to enter the stadium, filling the huge racecourse to capacity.

The cacophony of sounds made the already muggy weather even hotter.

"When does it start?!"

"I just saw Andy Lau and Jacky Cheung. This is a huge lineup today!"

"Look, that's Wu Zhuo, and the one next to him is Li Ming. They've all arrived!"

Time flew by, and it was already eleven o'clock.

"Everyone, it's our turn to go on stage!"

In a simple tent behind the stage, the celebrities participating in this charity performance were all ready.

Jackie Chan, the big brother, gave the order and led the way to the stage.

Wu Zhuo, Jet Li, Andy Lau, and others followed behind.

"It's Jackie Chan!"

Wow! It's Wu Zhuo and Andy Lau.

"It's Nicholas Tse..."

Today's lineup is absolutely massive.

The total number of participants was close to three hundred, many of whom were well-known celebrities like Wu Zhuo.

Each time they stepped onto the stage, they were greeted with cheers from the audience.

Within minutes, the stage was filled with people.

The greater the fame and the higher the status in the entertainment industry, the closer one is to the center position.

Wu Zhuo was also there; he was right next to Jackie Chan.

After looking around and seeing that everyone had gone up on stage, Wu Zhuo took a deep breath, took the microphone, and took two steps forward.

Today's event is quite large; a total of six hosts have been arranged.

They are Eric Tsang, Chan Kai-tai, Chan Pui-yee, Jessica Hsuan, Dee Hsu, and Wu Zhuo.

The six people were paired up to take charge of the event.

Actually, Wu Zhuo wasn't originally in the plan; the original plan was for Cai Kangyong to take his place.

As it turned out, Cai Kangyong encountered a last-minute problem and couldn't make it to the event, so Wu Zhuo was forced to step in.

Of course, if you really want to find someone else, that's possible. Many of the people here today have served as hosts before.

The reason Wu Zhuo was chosen is mainly because he is the initiator and has a great reputation. Having him as the host would attract more viewers.

"Aww... Wu Zhuo"

"Abel!"

As soon as Wu Zhuo appeared, deafening cheers erupted from the crowd.

Several cameras immediately started working, focusing their lenses on him.

As mentioned before, today's charity performance will be broadcast live by multiple television stations, and these cameras belong to those stations.

Blood is thicker than water, and the disaster moves me deeply.

Many of us living in the rear areas are worried about the disaster in Sichuan.

Many people are heartbroken that the country has suffered another disaster.

We are helpless because we have no power to change the face of that terrible natural disaster.

Being thousands of miles apart, we cannot be there in person to help each other through this difficult time.

But my body is bound to my heart, my suffering is my suffering, we drink from the same river, we share the same blood.

Therefore, we are determined to rebuild our homes together with them.

......"

Wu Zhuo did not receive professional training as a host, but in this life, he is a graduate of an arts school and has learned basic acting skills.

Having honed his skills in the entertainment industry for several years, he has developed a captivating and persuasive voice.

Wu Zhuo's heartfelt narration, coupled with the disaster footage being shown on the big screen behind many celebrities.

Tens of thousands of audience members were solemn and respectful. "Dear viewers at home and in the audience, I hereby announce that the selfless charity performance by the performing arts industry is now beginning!"
Next, please welcome the entire cast and crew to perform "Let the World Be Filled with Love."

As Wu Zhuo's voice faded, the melody of "Let the World Be Filled with Love" slowly began to play, and he retreated back into the crowd.

After the intro ended, Jackie Chan was the first to step forward and start singing:
"Gently cupping your face, I wipe away your tears."

After singing two lines, he immediately stepped aside, and Jet Li stepped forward, saying, "This heart will always belong to you; tell me you are no longer alone."

After Jet Li finished speaking, Wu Zhuo stepped forward and said, "I gaze deeply into your eyes; no more words are needed."

The lyrics to "Let the World Be Filled with Love" are not many, so it is only sung by a few artists.

Most of the other artists, just like in the previous "Beijing Welcomes You" show, will be in groups of two, three, or even five or six.

Even so, the distribution of lyrics was somewhat tight, and many A-list stars could only sing duets with others.

"Let the World Be Filled with Love" is not a song that can create a lively atmosphere.

However, the lyrics were very touching, and coupled with the disaster scenes on the big screen behind them, the audience did not cheer excitedly despite the large number of performers.

Instead, he sat quietly in the audience, his eyes glued to the screen.

Above, a lonely child is crying.

There are soldiers rushing through the ruins, desperately rescuing people.

There were ordinary volunteers who braved the torrential rain without stopping for a moment.

In the audience, Wang Xiaohua watched the scenes unfold on screen and was deeply moved, feeling very uncomfortable.

"We weather the storms together, we pursue our goals together."

We cherish the same love.

Surrounded by the sounds of numerous stars singing, Wang Xiaohua gently wiped her eyes and turned to look at her boyfriend beside her:
"Ah Lin, I'm not going to Japan. Let's donate the money to the disaster area!"

Zhou Lin nodded without hesitation, "I'll listen to you."

Originally, Wang Xiaohua and Zhou Lin planned to travel to Japan after finishing their trip in Hong Kong.

But at that moment, Wang Xiaohua's reminder, coupled with the emotion in his heart, made Zhou Lin decide without hesitation to donate the money he had planned to use for the trip.

At this moment, there weren't many audience members like Zhou Lin and his group who had made the same decision, but there were also quite a few.

Many of the audience members actually come from Taiwan, Singapore and other places.

Although they knew about the situation in Sichuan Province, they didn't understand it as well as people in the mainland.

In fact, many of them are seeing those scenes for the first time today.

When they saw those images, they were inevitably moved.

The song "Let the World Be Filled with Love" ended quickly.

After the opening chorus ended, all the other artists left the stage, including Jackie Chan and others. Only Wu Zhuo, Xuanxuan, and Andy Lau, the first performer after the chorus, remained on stage.

At this time, Andy Lau's nationwide appeal was not much different from that of later generations.

He is already a national idol.

He is the most suitable person to be the first performer.

Although the first chorus was very heavy.

But the subsequent performances were not like that.

There were no requirements for today's performance; everyone was encouraged to showcase their unique skills.

As long as you can make the audience happy and make them willingly open their wallets to donate, it doesn't matter what you perform.

Andy Lau first sang "Thank You for Your Love," and then stood next to Wu Zhuo and Xuanxuan to interact with the audience.

"Did you sing well, Brother Hua?"

Wu Zhuo held the microphone and asked loudly.

"it is good……"

Andy Lau's popularity is undeniable; people of all ages and genders were cheering loudly.

"Thank you, thank you everyone for your support." Andy Lau remained as humble as ever.
