Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 406 A Mishaps on the Road

"Hello Wu Zhuo, why don't you participate in or star in this project?"

"Abel, will you have another movie starring you released this year?"

“Your concerts cause a frenzy among local fans in every city you visit, generating a lot of revenue for the local area.”

It's said that the cultural and tourism bureaus of many cities have contacted you, wanting to invite you to hold a concert in their cities.

Have you considered adding more games?

The opening ceremony followed the usual procedures: worshipping the gods and giving interviews.

Because of Wu Zhuo's arrival, a large number of reporters came to the scene.

After the worship ceremony, reporters surrounded Wu Zhuo and began asking him all sorts of questions.

"Actually, I really wanted to act in this play. I really liked the script, but one important thing is that the main characters in it are not a good fit for me."

On the contrary, Brother Baoqiang and Brother Xu Zheng are a good match, so I handed the project over to them.

I believe they will definitely give the audience a perfect answer.

"As for my movie, you should have seen the promotion. I have a movie being released soon, and I'm sure you won't be disappointed."

"Regarding the addition of additional concert shows, first of all, I am very grateful for the trust placed in me by the cultural and tourism authorities in various regions. I am very honored."

However, this round of concerts was prepared six months in advance, and adding more shows would involve many issues, so I haven't considered adding more shows at this stage.

However, in the future, I will definitely consider these cities for my concerts, and try to perform in each one.

After several months of post-production, "Ip Man" is scheduled for release on August 8th, officially entering the summer movie season to compete with a host of blockbusters.

The film has already begun its promotional campaign.

In the next day or two, Wu Zhuo will also enter the promotional phase, and he will encourage fans to watch the movie at his subsequent concerts.

Finally, regarding adding extra shows to the concert.

He actually wanted to add it, but there were too many things involved; it wasn't something you could just add whenever you wanted.

Another important factor is that the concert market in 09 wasn't actually that big.

Apart from the provincial capitals, other cities simply cannot support a concert.

"Wu Zhuo, can you tell me what kind of movie this 'Lost in Thailand' is?"

Sounds like a road movie?

"That's a good question. This is a road movie, but with more comedic elements."

This film mainly tells the story of two people with completely different personalities and lifestyles during the Spring Festival travel rush.

I can assure you that this movie will not disappoint you.

Please pay more attention to our show during the Spring Festival.

"Lost in Thailand" was arranged with theaters from the very beginning of filming and will be released during this year's Lunar New Year holiday season.

Of course, whether it will actually be available remains to be seen.

After all, movies still need to be reviewed after they are filmed.

If it doesn't pass the review, you can't release it even if you want to.

However, since the drama doesn't contain any illegal plot elements, Wu Zhuo isn't worried about it being blocked by the censors.

After chatting with the reporter for almost half an hour, the auspicious time for the film crew to shoot arrived.

After asking all the reporters to leave, the filming officially began.

To accommodate Wu Zhuo's schedule, today's filming will focus on shooting all the scenes featuring Wu Zhuo.

So the first scene is Wu Zhuo's.

To be honest, having previously filmed action-packed movies like "Ip Man" and "Connected," Wu Zhuo felt somewhat out of place filming "Lost in Thailand."

It's too easy for him; all he has to do is look cool and say a few lines.

However, after filming the first scene, Wu Zhuo looked at the footage and was speechless. He went to Ye Weimin and said, "Old Ye, didn't we say that the focus of the story is on Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang?"
"I'm just making a cameo appearance. If you film it like this, won't I become the main character?"

Perhaps because of his immense influence, whenever Yip Wai-man was filming, he was always the lead actor, while the two actual leads were sidelined.

“I know, but after your cameo, a lot of fans will definitely come to see the show because of you. If you have too little screen time, what will the fans think?”

Ye Weimin spoke with a straight face.

He knew that the focus of this film was Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang.

But he couldn't bear to actually ignore the character of Wu Zhuo according to the script.

Because Wu Zhuo is here all day.

He has a strong appeal, and every additional scene he adds is a greater benefit to the film.

Wu Zhuo was speechless.

These directors from Hong Kong all like to do this kind of thing.

He concluded that if he had filmed for several days instead of just one day, Ye Weimin might have made him the lead actor.

Yes, just like when Wong Jing filmed "Chasing the Dragon" in his previous life.

Andy Lau was called to be an extra.

Then I was tricked into filming for several days.

As a result, when the movie was released, he was made the lead actor.

Ye Weimin clearly wants to do something similar now, making Wu Zhuo the lead actor in his film.

"The main characters in this film are the two of them. My style doesn't quite match theirs. If you force it, it will affect the overall rhythm of the film."

If the movie flops, don't blame me for not warning you.

Wu Zhuo knew he couldn't dissuade him, but he still gave him a warning before continuing filming.

After being warned by him, Ye Weimin noticeably toned down his behavior and began to focus the camera on Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang.

However, he still filmed a lot of scenes that Wu Zhuo originally didn't have.

Although Wu Zhuo took a look and thought they were all pretty good.

However, he still gave producer Zheng Jianfeng a heads-up, asking him to keep an eye on Ye Weimin and make sure he wasn't made the main character during the final editing.

If it's a box office success, then so be it.

If it fails, this will be a big problem.

"Tell him that next time we'll find a project to collaborate on, he can be the director and I can be the lead actor, and he can stop thinking about anything else."

After giving his instructions, Wu Zhuo walked over to Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqiang.

"Gentlemen, I have to leave after I finish filming here. I'll treat you to dinner when I have time later."

"Mr. Wu, you're too kind. Please rest assured that we really like this project and will definitely complete it diligently."

Xu Zheng stood up and shook hands with Wu Zhuo.

Xu Zheng had already achieved considerable success in film during this period.

Aside from the supporting characters in the Crazy series.

Both of his starring roles in "Love Transfer" achieved good results, allowing him to establish himself in the film industry.

Just last month, he starred in "Nightclub," a dark horse in the first half of the summer movie season that received very positive reviews.

"Both of you, I also want to thank Mr. Wu for giving me this opportunity. I heard that you recommended me to play the role of Xu Lang, the Big Bad Wolf."

"Mainly, after the script came out, I felt that you were suitable. I think that you and Brother Baoqiang together will definitely create a different kind of spark."

One is still, the other is active; one is shrewd, the other is naive; one is a high-ranking elite, the other a commoner from the bottom of society.

Wu Zhuo smiled and started chatting with Xu Zheng.
