Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 361 Wu Zhuo's Fan Club
While Wu Zhuo and other key members of the "Painted Skin" crew were holding the premiere, the film also premiered in numerous cinemas across the country.

With its large-scale publicity campaign, coupled with the appeal of well-known domestic celebrities such as Wu Zhuo and Zhao Wei, it was a hit.

A large number of viewers went to the cinema to watch the movie.

Of course, there were also some nitpickers.

As mentioned before, Wu Zhuo has quite a few haters in China.

People who dislike him will criticize him for who he is, his looks, his character, his songs, or even his movies.

To denigrate someone, one must be persuasive.

To be persuasive, one naturally needs to go to the cinema to watch the movie; otherwise, one wouldn't know where to begin criticizing it.

Wang Yaoyao is such a person.

She is a staunch Wu Hei (a derogatory term for someone who criticizes Wu).

She particularly disliked everything about Wu Zhuo, including his songs and movies.

As a result, she has engaged in countless online battles with Wu Zhuo's fans.

In the most intense battle, she fought seven people single-handedly, creating a post with over two thousand comments on the Tianya forum.

However, Wu Zhuo is indeed talented; her songs are of high quality and she has many fans, so she has never won an argument with her.

Ultimately, she decided to start with Wu Zhuo's films to find his flaws.

So, despite her initial reluctance to contribute a movie ticket to Wu Zhuo's film, she went to the cinema.

"Abel looks so handsome in the poster."

"Yes, I like Abel the most. He's handsome, can sing, and can act. There aren't many artists in China who can compare to him."

Just as she sat down, before the movie even started, Wang Yaoyao heard the voices of two die-hard fans of Wu Zhuo next to her.

This made her roll her eyes.

She really couldn't understand what was so good about Wu Zhuo.

Looks?

While it's certainly not bad, it's not exactly amazing!

As for the songs.

There are plenty of people in the Chinese music scene who can sing.

There are also many people with good creative abilities.

But none of these people were as eccentric as Wu Zhuokang.

Yes, in Wang Yaoyao's eyes, Wu Zhuo is arrogant.

He is a disrespectful and arrogant person in the entertainment industry who becomes domineering after achieving some success.

Wang Yaoyao thinks this way because she is actually a fan of Jimmy Lin.

Wu Zhuo and Lin Zhiying had a history of feuds.

Although this feud did not have a wide reach, it was only known in Taiwan.

But now we live in the internet age, and as long as things in Taiwan aren't blocked, it's still very easy for fans on the mainland to find out about them.

Wu Zhuo and Lin Zhiying had a heated argument in the media over various issues, with Wu Zhuo even verbally attacking Lin Zhiying in public on more than one occasion.

This is seen as arrogance and domineering by Lin Zhiying's fans.

Jimmy Lin has been in the entertainment industry for many years and is also Wu Zhuo's senior in school.

Wu Zhuo actually attacked someone like that, which, in the eyes of Lin Zhiying's fans, is disrespectful to his senior.

In addition, since "My Lucky Star", Jimmy Lin has suddenly disappeared from the public eye and rarely appears in public anymore.

There has long been a rumor that Wu Zhuo has a powerful background.

It was because of the pressure he exerted that Lin Zhiying suddenly stopped having any works in the entertainment industry.

This was originally just a rumor, but given the conflict between Wu Zhuo and Jimmy Lin, quite a few of Jimmy Lin's fans actually believed it.

After all, Jimmy Lin was very popular a few years ago.

"Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" made him a household name in China, while "The Starry Night" garnered him a large fan base across Asia.

Lin Zhiying, who was at the height of his popularity, suddenly stopped acting, which seemed very abnormal to his fans. Coincidentally, the feud between Wu Zhuo and Lin Zhiying occurred shortly after the filming of "My Lucky Star".

After that, Jimmy Lin never had another drama broadcast.

There's no such thing as a coincidence in this world.

Therefore, Lin Zhiying's fans all believed that Wu Zhuo was behind it all.

As for whether Wu Zhuo was capable of causing trouble, that's actually quite possible.

The internet is where conspiracy theories thrive.

Although many media outlets have reported that Wu Zhuo comes from an ordinary family background.

But many people still don't believe it.

They couldn't believe that Wu Zhuo, an ordinary person, could become so popular in Asia and even globally in just a few years.

Ordinary people don't have that many channels or resources.

Therefore, many people have been digging into Wu Zhuo's real background.

Someone released a photo of Wu Zhuo having dinner with the owner of GTV, saying that he is the nephew of Yang Dengkui of 8TV.

It is said that the reason why he was able to play Ding Xiaoyu in "KO One" in his first drama was because of Yang Dengkui.

Some people also posted photos of Wu Zhuo and Wu Dun, saying that the two were relatives.

There are all sorts of speculations, and each one has pictures and evidence to back it up, making it sound very plausible.

These rumors have led Lin Zhiying's fans to believe that the reason he hasn't had any dramas aired is because he's been suppressed by Wu Zhuo, and they have an extreme aversion to Wu Zhuo.

“I heard Abel has an event in Shanghai in a few days. Let’s go see it together! I have a friend who can get tickets.”

"Great! I've never been to an Abel event before! You have to call me then."

The two girls next to her were still discussing Wu Zhuo, but Wang Yaoyao couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up directly:
"Don't be fooled by Wu Zhuo, he's a complete..."

Before Wang Yaoyao could finish speaking, she abruptly stopped herself from saying anything more.

It wasn't that she didn't want to continue speaking ill of Wu Zhuo, but that she genuinely didn't dare.

The moment she said Wu Zhuo was a fraud, all the audience members who were discussing the matter stopped talking and stared at her with strange looks.

Startled, Wang Yaoyao quickly shut up.

She almost forgot that this was the opening day of Wu Zhuo's movie.

People who spend tens of yuan to watch a movie on the first day are usually loyal fans of a certain actor in the film.

It's obvious that most of the people in the movie theater were probably Wu Zhuo's fans.

In this situation, if she speaks ill of Wu Zhuo here, it will surely incur public wrath.

The fans of these past few years are not the rational fans of the future.

These days, fans are known for their fanaticism.

If you dare to insult my idol, I'll beat you up.

And that was indeed the case. After Wang Yaoyao stopped, a girl not far away stood up, pointed at Wang Yaoyao, and cursed:
“You slut, if you don’t like Wu Zhuo’s plays, then get out. Nobody asked you to come see his plays.”

Furthermore, you say Wu Zhuo is a petty person. Tell me, how is he a petty person?

If you don't explain yourself clearly today, I'll tear your mouth apart.

"Exactly, what kind of person is this, randomly cursing people without even knowing the facts."

"It's because of people like this that Abel has so many fans online."

Seeing that she had aroused public anger, Wang Yaoyao was both angry and worried.

She was really afraid that these people would swarm her and beat her up.

Come to think of it, it's also her fault for not understanding the situation.

Since no one can find her real identity online, she can certainly insult Wu Zhuo however she wants.

But that's reality!

It's still Wu Zhuo's fan club.
