Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 369 Record Release
2008 11 Month 11 Day.

At this time, Wu Zhuo had been on the set of "Fleet of Time" for several days, and filming had been going on for several days.

However, considering the release of his new album, Wu Zhuo still took leave from the film crew that day and made a special trip to the United States to promote the release of his new album.

Strictly speaking, Wu Zhuo is no longer considered a newcomer from Europe and America.

His previous albums achieved good results in Europe and America.

He's been on the bulletin board more than once.

Domestic media even touted him as the second most influential Chinese artist internationally, after Jackie Chan.

However, despite such honors, it still wields considerable influence in Europe and America.

Wu Zhuo maintained a humble attitude, naming his new album after his English name, just like a new singer.

When the album was released, he personally traveled to Europe and America to promote it.

Although "I, Abel" was touted as a simultaneous global release.

But it is mainly based in China, the Confucian cultural sphere in Asia, and the United States.

Due to the time difference, fans in China will have to wait more than ten hours to hear the album "I, Abel" in the United States.

In Hangzhou, early in the morning, Li Mei left home and went straight to a record store, where she used the money she had saved for half a semester to buy a new record by Wu Zhuo.

Fortunately, the shop owner was the parent of her classmate. Because they often hung out together, she asked the shop owner to reserve a record for her in advance.

Otherwise, she felt she might not be able to buy the record at all today.

There was no way around it, there were just too many people.

Li Mei left home before seven o'clock.

She had already gotten up early, but she hadn't even had breakfast.

As a result, when she arrived, the place was already packed with people.

No, it's not just about overcrowding.

The entire street where the record store was located was packed with people; she had to squeeze through the back door for a long time.

All of these people came to buy Wu Zhuo's records.

Most of them were students from nearby schools, as well as some young people from other places who came to work.

“Oh Whoa…Oh Whoa…Oh Whoa”

You know you love me, I know you care.

"Just shout whenever, and I'll be there."

The music store's speakers were playing loudly, and Wu Zhuo's highly recognizable and stylish voice resounded throughout.

As Li Mei walked out, clutching the record, she couldn't help but think:

"Wu Zhuo's songs are still so good. I really want to skip class and listen to the whole album."

Once the idea of ​​skipping class popped into my mind, it was like a seed that couldn't be shaken off.

After leaving the street where the music store was located, Li Mei stood there hesitating.

The record in her hand constantly attracted her, prompting her to quickly find a record player or DVD player to play it.

"Li Mei, class is about to start, what are you still doing here?"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out behind her, startling Li Mei.

Li Mei instinctively hid the record in her hand.

"Teacher Wang, I...I..."

Li Mei wanted to lie and say she had a stomachache so she could ask for leave.

But before she could ask for leave, the young and beautiful teacher Wang smiled and said:

"Did you manage to buy Wu Zhuo's new album?"

Upon hearing the name Wu Zhuo, Li Mei immediately perked up.

She was surprised that Teacher Wang knew Wu Zhuo. "Teacher Wang, are you here to buy Wu Zhuo's records too?"

Li Mei looked at Teacher Wang expectantly. "Yes, it's a pity there were too many people. It was a wasted trip."

Teacher Wang's pretty face was full of frustration.

"Teacher Wang, you also like Wu Zhuo? Which of his songs do you like? I like his song 'GOOD BOY' the most. Wu Zhuo looks so handsome in it."

Upon hearing that Teacher Wang had indeed come to buy Wu Zhuo's records, Li Mei felt as if she had met a kindred spirit.

"Of course, I've liked him for a long time. I've been following him since his debut, and I have all of his albums."

I also like "GOOD BOY", but I like his "Rice Fragrance" and "Warmth" even more.

Oh, by the way, you still haven't told me if you bought his record?

Teacher Wang is clearly a loyal fan of Wu Zhuo and knows his works very well.

After realizing that her teacher was also a member of Wu Zhuo's huge fan base, Li Mei somehow became much bolder in her speech.

She proudly took out the record she had just bought, "I bought two. If you like them, Teacher Wang, I can give you one."

Both of these records were carefully selected by me; the posters on them are so cool!

Teacher Wang glanced at the record Li Mei handed him, his eyes full of smiles.

"I knew you must have bought it. How much did you pay for it? Teacher, I'll give it to you."

"Teacher Wang, no need, I'll give it to you. But, I'd like to borrow your DVD. I bought the DVD version, which has music videos. I'd like to watch the music video starring Wu Zhuo."

As mentioned before, every singer releases different versions of their albums.

The same applies to Wu Zhuo's records.

His album was released in cassette tape, VCD, acoustic version, and deluxe DVD version.

Different versions have different prices.

The price is one for items with music video images and another for items without.

"How could the teacher take your money for nothing? You saved it all by being frugal."

Teacher Wang didn't take Li Mei's record for nothing.

Instead, he quickly took out money from his bag and put it in Li Mei's hand.

"I have a DVD. Come to my office after class at noon, and we can listen to it together."

As she spoke, Teacher Wang looked at Li Mei suspiciously, "Aren't you going back to school with me?"

"I..." Li Mei still wanted to ask for leave.

But she didn't dare. She had always been a good student, and she couldn't bring herself to lie.

In the end, she had no choice but to obediently follow Teacher Wang to school.

Along the way, they ran into many classmates who had come early in the morning to buy Wu Zhuo's records.

Someone bought it and was excitedly sharing it with others, trying to get people to skip class. But Teacher Wang caught them red-handed and sent them all back to school.

Some people queued all morning but failed to buy anything, leaving them with long faces. If someone showed off in front of them, they would angrily yell, "What's so great about that? You just bought it a day earlier than me!"

There are only two streets between the street where the record store is located and the school.

On just these two streets, Teacher Wang caught more than a dozen students sneaking off to skip class.

Most of them were boys. They got together and planned to go to a classmate's house where no one was home to listen to music and watch music videos.

As a result, he was caught by Teacher Wang and could only follow behind her to school with a bitter face.

"Li Mei, do we have a grudge against you? Why did you bring the teacher to arrest us?"

A chubby boy followed behind Li Mei with a bitter face, constantly grumbling.

Upon hearing this, Li Mei's lips twitched involuntarily.

She actually wanted to say that she also wanted to skip class, but Teacher Wang happened to see her.

But she was too embarrassed to say anything, so she could only remain silent in the face of everyone's complaints.
