Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 355 The Scoundrel Boastful Old Man
Although "Fleet of Time" has been officially approved, there is still about a month before filming actually begins.

This period of time is perfect for Wu Zhuo to produce his new album.

The subunit's album has been completed and is expected to be officially released around October.

But his new album hasn't been touched at all, which is perfect for him to use this time to produce the backing tracks.

If he had enough time, he could record a few more songs.

While Wu Zhuo was busy producing the record.

On September 2nd, more good news came from the album "Left Wu Right Wang" that he released with Wang Leehom.

Within a month of its release, this EP, which brings together two of the biggest pop stars in the Chinese music scene, sold a total of five million copies worldwide.

Among them, "Always Remember Us This Way" even made it onto Billboard in the United States.

The ranking wasn't particularly high; at its best, it was only 63rd.

But the song is doing very well, climbing higher on the Billboard charts every week.

As we all know, Billboard is a benchmark chart for popular music in Europe and America, and songs that make it onto the chart are almost always extremely popular in Europe and America.

Although "Always Remember Us This Way" didn't rank particularly high, it was very popular in the United States and other places, which helped Wu Zhuo regain popularity in Europe and America.

This song also marks Wu Zhuo's fourth appearance on Billboard since his debut.

His repeated appearances on Billboard made his name widely known in Europe and America.

Many foreigners know that there is an amazing singer from faraway China whose songs are very popular in Europe and America.

Because of his rapid rise in popularity, Wu Zhuo, who is far away in China, even received several interview invitations from European and American television stations.

It wasn't just Wu Zhuo.

Even Wang Leehom benefited this time, gaining fame in Europe and America.

While Wu Zhuo was busy producing albums and making movies, Wang Leehom had already arrived in the United States.

I participated in several programs there.

"Bad Boys Records has sent us another contract offer."

That day, Wu Zhuo was working on the instrumental track for "Baby" when Xiao An came to deliver the equipment. Seeing that Wu Zhuo was resting, she sat down next to him and began to complain.

"That Puff Daddy company? Are they still relentlessly pursuing us?"

Wu Zhuo frowned slightly.

This bragging dad has a good eye; he had his eye on Wu Zhuo long before Wu Zhuo's first album achieved good results in Europe and America.

I've been sending invitations to Wu Zhuo, hoping to sign him.

After being rejected by Wu Zhuo, he even became enraged and stirred up trouble in Europe and America, causing the media to smear Wu Zhuo extensively.

However, after the initial results were not satisfactory, he immediately changed his approach and contacted Wu Zhuo again.

The goal, as they say, is to sign Wu Zhuo.

To be honest, Wu Zhuo thought this guy was shameless.

One minute they're stirring up trouble in the US to smear Wu Zhuo, the next they're shamelessly coming to his door to sign him.

"Just ignore it!"

Wu Zhuo had absolutely no desire to deal with this old black man.

He currently lacks a partner in the United States.

Both EMI and Sony have strong financial backing.

Before I even mentioned my father's ridiculous stories.

“You said before that I would ignore them, but this time it’s a little different. This time, the email they sent contained a picture of truth.”

Xiao An hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"truth?"

Wu Zhuo was taken aback at first, then couldn't help but laugh.

"Does this guy think I'm an easy target?!"

Without a doubt, in Europe and America, truth is the law of nature.

Puff Daddy is clearly used to being powerful in America and thinks that Wu Zhuo is the kind of person who has no background and no strength.

After failing to sign the contract, they directly sent him a picture of the truth. The meaning was obvious: to threaten Wu Zhuo.

“Call Sony, tell them about this, and let them handle it. I need an apology.”

Wu Zhuo was not someone who had never seen the world.

The entertainment industry in Taiwan is just as turbulent.

Within three years of his debut, Wu Zhuo had become a well-known figure internationally, and many people were envious of him.

But he is still standing here unharmed.

This is because Wu Zhuo also has untold power behind him.

Although these forces have no influence over the United States.

But he has connections in this area.

Sony has been actively cultivating a good relationship with Wu Zhuo, hoping to achieve further cooperation after Wu Zhuo's contract with HIM International Music expires.

For this collaboration, Wu Zhuo raised some minor issues, and they will do their best to handle them.

Puff Daddy does indeed have a strong background in the American entertainment industry.

However, it still lags far behind international giants like Sony.

Wu Zhuo believes Sony will handle this matter well.

……

In America, Puff Daddy is planning a party.

The party was attended by the wealthy and powerful, so Puff Daddy even personally helped set up the venue.

"Fuck, I told you, there needs to be a swimming pool here, and here, I need a stage..."

Puff Daddy wandered around the venue, constantly pointing out his dissatisfaction with the event planning company.

After taking a walk around the venue, he returned to the lounge, poured himself a glass of red wine, and enjoyed the service of the waitresses.

Just as he reached the crucial moment, the phone next to him suddenly rang.

"Hey Henry, it's been a while since you called. Want to come to my party? Was the service last time memorable?"

After glancing at the phone number, the bragging old man, who was initially annoyed by being interrupted, immediately broke into a smile and started joking with the person on the other end of the line.

"Shawn, do you have some kind of grudge against Sony?"

"The person on the other end of the phone asked in a deep voice."

"How could that be? I've always had a good working relationship with Sony, and my company has always had a lot of collaborations with Columbia."

Many of our company's singers' album releases are handled by Columbia Records.

Puff Daddy looked bewildered. "Is something wrong?"

"I heard that there seems to be a lot of dissatisfaction within Sony about you, saying that you've taken away their business."

"How could that be? I have absolutely no business conflict with Sony."

Puff Daddy suddenly stood up.

Do you know the specifics?

After a brief silence on the other end of the phone, someone said, "I don't know the specifics, but I do know that you seem to have taken a bite out of their business. Think carefully about what you did to offend them."

"Fuck, those damn Japanese."

After hanging up the phone, Boastful Daddy couldn't help but start cursing.

He still doesn't understand how he offended Sony.

But despite the criticism and disdain, Sony's power and influence are too great, and Puff Daddy is unwilling to truly offend Sony.

Despite his alleged shady background, it's nothing compared to the influence of a large corporation like Sony.

From a national perspective, it seems that the United States has been suppressing Japan.

However, in terms of capital, Japanese capital has always had a very strong presence in the United States.

This power is so terrifying that even Puff Daddy is terrified.

To avoid any actual conflict between the two sides, Puff Daddy immediately called his partner in Colombia to find out the reason.
