Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 7 Audition MV
Speaking of Cyndi Wang, she should be the most watched and fastest rising female singer in 2004.

On March 2004, 3, Cyndi Wang released the album "Love You", which included 26 songs including the title song "Love You" and "The First Person I Loved". The ringtone download volume of "The First Person I Loved" exceeded 10 million.

The album's sales topped G-music's sales charts for four consecutive weeks, and exceeded 20 copies in Taiwan. With this album, Wang Xinling won the Taiwan Female Singer Newcomer Award at the nd King of Songs Awards and the Music Radio Recommended Record Award.

At the same time, she also filmed the high-rated idol drama "Heaven's Wedding Dress", which was not only popular in Taiwan, but also very popular throughout Asia.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan media have always liked to give titles to popular artists.

The Four Heavenly Kings of Hong Kong and the Four Little Heavenly Kings of Taiwan in the 1990s were named by the media.

This kind of media canonization is still popular in recent years.

Due to her explosive popularity, Wang Xinling was dubbed as one of the three little queens of Taiwan by the media along with Rainie Yang and Zhang Shaohan.

Together with the four divas from Taiwan, Cai Yilin, Xiao Yaxuan, Sun Yanzi and Fish Leong, they form the currently widely recognized four major and three minor divas.

To put it in one sentence, Wang Xinling was very popular at that time.

For this reason, the male lead in her MV has become the one that many new male actors are scrambling to get into.

On that day, when Wu Chao was brought to Avex Records by Huang Zekai, what he saw was seven or eight outstanding-looking artists from different agencies in Taiwan crowded in the waiting area.

Because his appearance was better than most people, Wu Zhuo's arrival attracted a lot of attention.

Many people looked at him with hostility.

"Don't eat anything given to you by others. If you want water, just ask me for it!"

After finding a seat and sitting down, Huang Zekai whispered instructions to Wu Chao.

Wu Zhuo nodded.

Even if Huang Zekai didn't say it, he knew he had to be on guard.

The entertainment industry is a very competitive circle.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that everyone appears to be friendly on the surface.

But the filthiness they exhibit in private is absolutely jaw-dropping.

Artists at the top of the pyramid are still okay; they need to consider their image and do a good job on the surface.

But the lower level...

The lower you are in the hierarchy, the more intense the competition becomes, and the more brutal and corrupt the tactics used.

There are countless cases where people trip up their competitors just for a role or an opportunity.

Why do artists have to bring everything with them when they go out to work?

Some singers even bring their own microphones to the show.

In addition to making your own things more convenient to use, a certain reason is to prevent being hacked.

Wu Zhuo has heard a lot of bad things in the company these days.

Giving people laxatives, secretly damaging opponents' props, etc., are all common.

Therefore, Wu Zhuo would be a fool to eat food given by others.

"Did you see the guy drinking water? His name is Zhou Yongxuan, and he should be your biggest competitor.

He has previously shot MVs for many well-known singers, including Sun Yanzi, Adu, and Cai Yilin, and has a great reputation in the MV industry.”

While waiting, Huang Zekai introduced Wu Chao to his competitors.

Wu Zhuo looked in the direction he pointed. Zhou Yongxuan looked good, with a Japanese-style crew cut and a tough facial features.

The other person seemed to notice that Wu Zhuo was looking at him. He raised his head and glanced at Wu Zhuo with a look of disdain on his face, muttering something.

The voice was not loud, but Wu Zhuo had sharp ears and he roughly understood it.

"so gay!"

The other party was calling him a sissy.

Wu Zhuo frowned, although he had recently started to resume his original boxing training.

But the time was too short, and his thin body could not recover quickly after lying down for several months, so he did look a little weak.

But even so, after all, there was a foundation.

To say he is a sissy is a bit of an exaggeration.

It is obviously not Wu Zhuo's character to not return the favor after being scolded.

With a mocking look on his face, he made a head-cutting gesture to the other person.

Although the action was childish, it had a good effect. The other party's expression became visibly ugly, as if he was angered.

However, before he could respond, a staff member from Avex Records walked in. He clapped his hands and motioned everyone to look at him, "Everyone, the audition has begun.

Our auditions are not like TV actor auditions, there are not so many requirements.

After everyone goes in, just chat with the director and Ms. Cyndi Wang for a few minutes.

We will announce the final results immediately after the audition.

Well, let's start now, those whose names are called follow me."

After the staff member finished speaking, he glanced at the list in his hand and called out, "Zhou Yongxuan!"

"here!"

The first one was Zhou Yongxuan. He seemed very confident in himself. He glanced at Wu Chao provocatively and quickly followed the staff into the audition room.

"Cyndi Wang wants to audition in person?"

Wu Chao looked at Huang Zekai.

"This is not surprising. Many well-known singers do this. In order to ensure the quality of the MV, they will often participate in selecting actors themselves." Huang Zekai explained.

That's it!
Wu Chao touched his chin.

If that was the case, he felt that he had a greater chance of getting the opportunity to appear on camera.

It’s not that he thinks he can attract Wang Xinling with his beauty.

It's a school problem.

Wang Xinling also graduated from Huagang High School. Although she is a few years older than Wu Chao, they graduated from the same school after all.

The entertainment industry is a place that attaches great importance to circles.

The big circle contains the small circle.

Throughout the Chinese-speaking world, circles are divided according to different regions, and then each region has its own circle, one inside the other.

The same is true in the Taiwan circle. In recent years, students who graduated from Huagang Art College have already occupied a place in the Taiwan entertainment circle.

Therefore, the students of Huagang College naturally formed a Huagang circle.

Wu Zhuo graduated from Huagang, although he has just made his debut.

But because of this label, he is a member of the Huagang School by nature.

As long as Wang Xinling is not stupid, she will probably choose Wu Zhuo first after seeing his profile.

This is probably the reason why Chen Huiying gave Wu Chao the opportunity to audition for Wang Xinling's MV.

"Next, Wang Miao!"

Zhou Yongxuan came out a few minutes after he went in, looking excited.

Judging from his expression, maybe a few of the judges thought well of him.

Originally, Wu Zhuo had no intention of paying attention to him.

Unexpectedly, after this guy came out, he actually walked straight towards Wu Zhuo.

"Little white face, you have no chance."

After saying that, he glanced at Wu Zhuo with contempt and turned back to his previous seat.

Wu Zhuo was confused and turned to look at Huang Zekai, "He came here just to show off to me?"

Huang Zekai was also a little speechless, "Maybe he is upset with you and thinks he has a sure win!"

"childish!"

Wu Zhuo shook his head.

No wonder he didn’t know this guy in his previous life.

With this kind of status, it is simply wishful thinking to think of making a name for yourself.

……

"Wu Zhuo!"

After waiting for a long time, it was finally Wu Chao's turn.

"Come on!" Huang Zekai cheered him on.

Wu Zhuo nodded and walked into the audition room.
