Chapter 394 Winning Awards Left and Right

Chapter 394 Winning Awards Left and Right
Hello, friends in Taipei!

Wu Zhuo waved to the fans around him.

"Ahhhhh...Abel..."

"Ah ah ah..."

The scene was filled with screams.

Surprise.

Big surprise.

This is definitely a big surprise for Jay Chou's fans.

No one expected that Jay Chou would actually invite Wu Zhuo to his concert.

"I'm very happy to be a guest at Jay Chou's concert."

Before I debuted, I wondered if I would ever have the chance to stand next to Jay Chou.

Today, I did it.

"You not only did it, but you also stood taller than me."

Rarely, Jay Chou even cracked a joke on the side.

"Yeah, I'm taller than you, haha..."

Wu Zhuo stood next to Jay Chou and gestured.

“Okay, let’s not waste any more time. We finally got Abel here, we can’t just let him chat, we have to get him singing.” Jay Chou said to the audience first, then looked at Wu Zhuo:

What song do you want to sing?

"It depends on what song you want me to sing. I'm your number one fan, and I can sing most of your songs."

Wu Zhuoyi shrugged.

He actually knows most of Jay Chou's songs; basically, he knows all of Jay Chou's most popular songs.

"You've put me in a difficult position."

Jay Chou scratched his head, looking conflicted.

"Or, we could ask the fans."

As they spoke, the two looked at the audience.

"Sing Abel's 'Blue and White Porcelain,' sing 'East Wind Breaks,' sing 'Sunny Day'..."

The scene became noisy, with people shouting all sorts of things.

Some people want to hear Wu Zhuo sing his own songs, while others want to hear Jay Chou's.

Finally, Jay Chou randomly selected an audience member.

"I want to hear 'Nunchucks'! Hehe ha hum..."

The selected fan stood up and said excitedly.

"Then let's sing together, nunchucks!"

Although it was Jay Chou's concert, Wu Zhuo was not intimidated at all. He kept his distance from Jay Chou and started singing immediately.

……

The news of Wu Zhuo's participation in Jay Chou's event was spread by the media that same evening.

Instantly, news of the two kings appearing on the same stage swept the nation, becoming the first major news story of the year.

Jay Chou's Taipei concert kicks off with a bang, and the mystery guest turns out to be Wu Zhuo!

[Wu Zhuo attended Jay Chou's concert, and the two sang each other's classic songs.]

Two hit-making machines converge, two kings of the Chinese music scene share the stage.

The concept of "two kings" is still very popular in China.

Jay Chou and Wu Zhuo have both been extremely popular in recent years.

The two are the most popular singers in China, and it is very reasonable for fans to regard them as the "Double Kings".

However, this view is not so acceptable to fans of other singers, such as Wang Leehom and JJ Lin.

There should be four kings, how come you two are playing with two kings now? Are you trying to leave JJ and Leehom behind?
Then, Wang Leehom's fans went to Wu Zhuo's blog to leave messages.

"Abel, Leehom and you are the best partners! The songs you two collaborated on are so good, please don't ruin them!"

“Abel, Leehom is the best to you. Jay Chou is not as good as Leehom.”

"When will Wu Zhuo hold a concert with Wang Leehom? I really want to hear their collaboration on 'Firepower' and 'Always Remember Us This Way'!"

Wu Zhuo was left speechless by the behavior of Wang Leehom's fans.

These guys assumed Wu Zhuo had drifted apart from Wang Leehom and gotten together with Jay Chou, so they came here specifically to comment on these things. But overall, they didn't actually have any bad intentions.

This is purely an argument with Jay Chou's fans.

……

On the 8th, Wu Zhuo finished his activities in Taiwan and rushed to the "Ip Man" film crew to continue filming.

Compared to the filming progress of "Fleet of Time", the filming speed of "Ip Man" was very slow.

There's nothing we can do about it; Ip Man has too many action scenes.

Sometimes, a single action scene can take one or two days to film.

As a result, the filming progress was naturally very slow.

However, as filming time increased and the actors gradually adapted, the filming pace accelerated.

Especially Wu Zhuo, who was filming action scenes for the first time and had no experience in this area, was often yelled "cut" by the director.

As he adapted, his action scenes improved, and he went from being yelled "cut" for every scene at the beginning to not being yelled "cut" for many scenes later on.

However, they have gradually entered the adaptation period.

However, Wu Zhuo was still unable to stay on set for too long.

As February began, major music and film awards around the world started announcing their nominations.

Wu Zhuo remains a staple on the list of winners for various awards this year.

Especially in music awards, if Wu Zhuo is not on the nomination list for any award, that award will most likely be criticized for being unprofessional.

There was no way around it; Wu Zhuo's performance last year was just too good.

He has shone brightly on the international stage, and his sales and reputation are booming.

If this achievement is not enough to convince these awards, then these awards should not be held at all.

However, due to scheduling conflicts among the various awards, Wu Zhuo did not attend all the award ceremonies.

He only chose to attend some of the more prestigious awards or those with which he had a good relationship.

And in every award he attends, the Most Popular Male Singer award goes to him 100%.

For awards he doesn't attend, he will make a choice and give the award to someone else, such as Jay Chou or Wang Leehom.

This is also the norm in the entertainment industry.

There's a saying in the entertainment industry: "Kings don't meet."

This sentence actually refers to the various awards.

Generally speaking, two equally talented singers will choose not to appear at the same award at the same time.

Because once they meet, a winner will inevitably have to be decided.

Regardless of who loses, this is a matter that greatly affects one's status.

Let's talk about Zhou, Wang, and Lin.

The three of them rarely appeared at the same music award in their previous lives.

Even if it happens, it's either because the award is prestigious enough, or because the organizers have already allocated the prizes, and everyone will get a major award.

Otherwise, everyone will try to avoid meeting each other.

In this life, Wu Zhuo's involvement has made the competition even more intense.

In fact, Wu Zhuo's outstanding performance on the international stage has made him more favored in domestic awards.

Then, a strange scene unfolded.

That's the award Wu Zhuo attended. The other three almost tacitly avoided attending this award to prevent being used as a stepping stone by Wu Zhuo.

Winning awards left and right would be an apt description of Wu Zhuo's year.

He not only swept up awards in China.

The same is true in Japan, South Korea, and even in Europe and America.

Many foreign awards created special prizes specifically for Wu Zhuo because of his popularity last year.

For example, the Korean record awards.

This award is specifically for South Korean singers.

However, in order to invite Wu Zhuo to the event, they specially set up the Most Popular Foreign Singer Award.
