Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 390 Jay Chou's Invitation

"Let's go back, it's been a long time since we've been back."

Wu Zhuo made the decision directly.

After shifting his focus to the mainland and global markets this year, Taiwan has been neglected.

This time when I go back, I can hold two events there to give back to my fans.

……

In the days that followed, Wu Zhuo did not participate in any other activities, but stayed in Beijing to rehearse for the Spring Festival Gala.

During this time, he faxed the theme song he had promised to write for the movie "Avatar" to the United States.

After Cameron received the song, he was very satisfied with it and made a special call to express his gratitude. He also said that he would come to China next year and hoped that Wu Zhuo would show him around.

Wu Zhuo readily agreed to this.

Although he didn't intend to gain anything from Cameron.

However, maintaining a good relationship with this internationally renowned director would be of considerable benefit to both him and Legendary Pictures.

1 month 25 day.

As the annual Spring Festival approaches, families across the country are hanging festive couplets and lanterns.

Around noon, Wu Zhuo arrived at the studio ahead of time to prepare.

As soon as I arrived here, I saw that Jay Chou had already arrived.

"Oh, the busy man is here!"

Upon seeing Wu Zhuo, Jay Chou walked over with a smile.

"Jay, don't say that. It's kind of scary. If the media hears this, they might write that we're at odds."

Wu Zhuo stood up and hugged Jay Chou.

Although Wu Zhuo's popularity has now surpassed that of Jay Chou to some extent.

Even more so, thanks to his international influence, his status in China is slightly higher than Jay Chou's.

However, Wu Zhuo did not become arrogant because of this, and showed great respect to Jay Chou, his senior.

“What else could you be but a very busy person? We invited you to our concert a while ago, but you always said you were too busy.”

Jay Chou plopped down next to Wu Zhuo with a teasing look on his face.

Jay Chou held a concert tour this year.

During that time, he invited Wu Zhuo to help him out several times.

"The timing of your concerts just happened to clash with my schedule, it's not that I didn't want to come."

Wu Zhuo wore a wry smile.

He wasn't really disrespecting Jay Chou.

He actually really wanted to attend Jay Chou's concert.

Unfortunately, the location and timing of Jay Chou's concerts just happened to clash with Wu Zhuo's own schedule.

If it were in the same city, it would be fine; Wu Zhuo could simply settle his own affairs and then go there.

But each time, the two of them were in a different city.

"Your concert isn't over yet, right? I remember there's one in Taipei after the Lunar New Year, right?"
Can I come for that one?

Wu Zhuo thought for a moment and remembered that Jay Chou had a concert at the Taipei Arena on the 6th of next month.

And he happened to have time during that period.

"Haha, that's great! But let's make this clear first, you're not just coming here to sing a couple of songs, you're going to stay with me for the whole show."

Upon hearing Wu Zhuo's words, Jay Chou immediately laughed.

"what……"

Wu Zhuo was baffled by his request.

"Throughout the entire event, even if I agree, your fans probably wouldn't!"

"Fans will definitely agree; you know how popular you are."

Jay Chou gave him an expression that said, "You don't know how amazing you are."

"I don't care, as long as your fans agree, it's OK."

Wu Zhuo had no objection to this.

Although it's supposed to be a whole show, Jay Chou definitely won't let Wu Zhuo sing the whole time.

After all, this is his concert; how could he let Wu Zhuo steal the show?

"Don't announce it to the public. I plan to announce it after the performance starts."

Jay Chou reminded Wu Zhuo not to reveal this news to the public. He planned to use the mystery guest trope to surprise the fans.

"Okay, it's up to you."

Wu Zhuo nodded in agreement; after all, it was Jay Chou's concert, so he was in charge.

"By the way, do you have any concert plans this year?"
You've been in the industry for several years now, it's time for you to hold a concert.

I've seen many people online expressing their anticipation for your concert.

Jay Chou looked on with curiosity.

"It's going to open this year. It was originally planned for last year, but it was postponed due to too many things going on."

Speaking of which, Wu Zhuo is now considered one of the top singers in China.

But he has never held a concert.

This is unbelievable to other artists.

After all, other people would love to hold concerts every year, but Wu Zhuo seems to have no desire to do so.

The only concert he ever held was a group concert with Fahrenheit.

"You should prepare early and remember to let me know in advance."

Jay Chou patted Wu Zhuo on the shoulder and said, "I have to go change my clothes, so I can't chat with you anymore."

"I need to start preparing too."

Wu Zhuo nodded and stood up as well. He saw the stylist that the production team had arranged for him.

After greeting a few people I was relatively familiar with, like Wang Baoqiang, I went into the private dressing room to start getting my makeup done.

As for the costume, since "The Lone Warrior" didn't have many requirements, Wu Zhuo's costume was just a red suit.

Well, Wu Zhuo's style has always been considered one of the more flamboyant types among domestic celebrities.

Even on a stage like the Spring Festival Gala, the production team has already accepted that his style should be more trendy.

After changing my clothes and coming out, it was already afternoon.

The backstage area of ​​the studio was already packed with people, staff members everywhere.

Some of the artists, who had their outfits done, were memorizing lyrics.

Some people also gathered with acquaintances to chat and joke around.

From afar, Wu Zhuo spotted Jackie Chan chatting with Joey Yung.

Speaking of which, these past few years have definitely been Joey Yung's peak period.

She has been present at almost all major events in China in recent years.

Wu Zhuo knew both of them, so he went straight over.

"Big brother, Sister Zuer."

"Hey, Cheuk-jai, you're all set." Jackie Chan turned around when he heard the voice, and immediately smiled when he saw Cheuk-jai.

"We were just talking about you. Joey Yung said she wanted to ask you to write a song for her."

I told her that even I didn't get the song, so she shouldn't even think about it.

Wu Zhuo understood.

Jackie Chan is subtly implying that he wants to ask him to write a song.

"Since my brother has spoken, I definitely have to help!"

As he spoke, Wu Zhuo looked at Joey Yung again, "Sister Joey, you're too kind. You could have just told me directly. With our relationship, I wouldn't be stingy."

"Haha, that's great! I'll come find you in a while."

Upon hearing Wu Zhuo's words, Jackie Chan burst into laughter, appearing quite pleased.

Joey Yung smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite."

Wu Zhuo didn't seem to care about this.

He used to be very protective of his own songs and didn't really want to write songs for others.

But after a period of training...

He no longer holds that view.

As long as he owns the copyright, it's fine for others to sing the song.

It's all about making money anyway.

Jackie Chan and Joey Yung are both well-known figures.

He would earn a considerable sum just from the copyright fees alone for the songs they performed.
