Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 100 I have no friends because I have no common topics

In fact, there is no essential difference between Tiffany's Christmas lighting ceremony and other brand activities.

The brand will first arrange the venue and set the theme, and then invite celebrity spokespersons to appear as marketing materials to attract traffic and create topics for the event.

So if we say that Ni Ni, as the spokesperson, is responsible for supporting the substance of this event, that is, its level.

Then Shen Juan is responsible for face, that is, the attention and traffic brought to this event.

Everyone performs his duties and performs his duties.

Tiffany would be happy to see this happen.

On November 11, the only work schedule of the day was to be invited to attend the annual fashion gentleman ceremony in Beijing.

Like the well-known Zhizu, as one of the only two first-tier men's magazines among the five major men's magazines, Esquire naturally has to create its own fashion festival and invite many celebrities to participate in order to demonstrate its energy in the fashion circle and expand the popularity and influence of its own brand.

Shen Juan took off from Shanghai's Hongqiao International Airport and landed at Beijing's Capital International Airport in the afternoon.

"I have some bad news. I wonder if you want to hear it." The agent pushed the door open and walked in with a smile on his face.

"what?"

Shen Juan was sitting in front of the dressing table in the hotel room with her eyes closed, receiving makeup from the team's professional makeup artist.

"You may not be able to go home and reunite with your family on New Year's Eve this year." Yangjin Zhuoma leaned back on the sofa.

"My parents will scold me to death. I haven't been home much this whole year. I didn't even go home when I was working in Shanghai. I passed by my house three times without entering."

"The director of the Spring Festival Gala just called us and wants to invite you to participate in this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala."

Hearing this, Shen Juan's expression instantly changed and he laughed.

"If this is the reason, then I think my parents will understand me."

After all, the Spring Festival Gala has extraordinary significance in the hearts of every Chinese, and it symbolizes and represents many things.

So, not to mention everyone, at least one of the goals of the vast majority of Chinese artists in the domestic entertainment industry is to perform on the Spring Festival Gala and appear in front of fellow countrymen from all over the country.

This can be considered an achievement that brings honor to the family.

"Did the director tell you what type of program he wanted me to participate in?" Shen Juan asked.

"It should be a song and dance or a skit. Of course, it is more likely to be a song and dance, so you may have to spend most of your time in February next year on rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala."

"February." Shen Juan closed his eyes and thought.

If I remember correctly, the movie "Love in the Time of Cherry Blossoms", which he shot in 20 days at the beginning of this year and was later renamed "An Elephant Sitting Still", was originally released at the Berlin Film Festival in Germany in February.

Although it will not be released in domestic theaters and will not add anything to its commercial box office performance, it is still an art film that can win awards and create hype.

Moreover, when the director committed suicide a while ago, Shen Juan posted a Weibo to mourn him, which attracted attention from the outside world.

With the combined effects of multiple buffs (unreleased art film + director's posthumous work), it might even win an award.

Of course, the film’s award has little to do with Shen Juan himself.

After all, he is very clear that his current acting skills cannot compare with those of truly talented actors.

For a new actor like him, the greater role and significance of this movie is to serve as a stepping stone for him to enter the film and television industry, allowing the market to see his potential as an actor and laying the foundation for him to develop an acting career in the future.

Similarly, the campus web drama "So Cute We Are" plays a similar role.

So he is not in a hurry to accept the script now.

After all the films he has already filmed are online, he will start taking on scripts. I believe that his pay and benefits will increase significantly.

Perhaps only at that time will Shen Juan be able to truly access the film and television resources that the industry specifically provides to serious actors, instead of being approached by ancient idol dramas, modern idol dramas and secondary film resources as is the case now.

At about 6:30 in the evening, Shen Juan finally arrived at the venue of the event, the Workers' Stadium in Beijing, by car.

This year, the lineup of celebrity guests invited to attend the Fashion Men's Annual Ceremony is still very strong.

Among the male stars, there are Shen Juan, Yang Yang, Zhang Yixing, Chen Xuedong, Liu Haoran, Wang Jiaer, and Deng Lun, who have contributed to the popularity and attention of the evening party.

There are also people like Li Chen, Pan Yueming, Wang Qianyuan, Du Chun, Huang Xuan, Chen Bailin, Zhang Ruoyun, Chen Xiao, Li Ronghao, and Lin Youjia who can support the national popularity.

As for female stars.
The fashion festivals held by men's magazines mainly invite male stars, while female stars are just supporting roles. Naturally, few big-name actresses are willing to come and play supporting roles.

in short,
They are all unknown, no need to introduce them.

"Mr. Shen, you can walk onto the red carpet now. Please remember to stand in the designated area in the middle and allow the media to take your picture."

After hearing the staff's instructions, Shen Juan first nodded to her politely, then adjusted his breathing rhythm and facial expression, and walked around the corner.

Amidst waves of low exclamations and screams, she stepped onto the star-studded and bustling red carpet and began to be inspected by the media's flash cameras.

When a man doesn’t know what to wear, All Black is always a safe choice.

A simple and neat black suit with a blue striped jacket and shirt underneath, paired with just the right amount of Tiffany jewelry, is both bold and classy.

Shen Juan, who was about to be crowned as the emperor by fans, continued to break new records. He used his iconic cold face to slay the audience again. He was at ease, relaxed, not flattering or self-abased, and a magical picture was born again. The red carpet session ended quickly, and Shen Juan followed the organizer's staff to the Gongti Stadium to start the social activities that are essential before each evening party officially begins.

Actually, there is nothing much to talk about.

The celebrities in the entertainment industry are not educated people who engage in scientific research or literature. Many of them have hardly read any books. They are just illiterate people who rely on their looks to get to the top.

You talk to him about the international situation.

He asked you if you had dinner in the evening.

You talk to him about the war in the Middle East.

He asks you where the Middle East is.

You talk to him about One Hundred Years of Solitude.

He asks you how you take care of your skin.

The thinking is totally on a different level.

It is also difficult to meet friends with the same interests and hobbies.

Shen Juan had no common topics at all with this group of people.

But considering that I'm already here, I have to provide materials for the pictures to the fans and media who have come to the scene.

So as usual, Shen Juan put on a hypocritical social mask, picked up a few colleagues in the circle who looked pretty good on the road, and chatted with them about their recent situations.

"You know who I saw at the AMAs the day before yesterday? Drake, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, and Bruno Mars. Although he looks skinny and ordinary, he really has the aura of a big shot, I mean a top star. Do you understand what I mean?"

Wang Jiaer used his not-so-standard Cantonese mixed with English to try to make what he wanted to say as clear as possible.

After attending the 20th American Music Awards in Los Angeles on the 45th, he immediately rushed back to China to attend the annual Esquire ceremony. He was obviously unwilling to give up the opportunity to develop traffic and popularity in China.

"It's normal. After all, he is Martian brother."

There is no doubt that Brother Mars is capable.

"By the way, if you want to be on a variety show, you can come to the show hosted by me and Teacher He. "Please Take Care of My Refrigerator" will continue to be produced next year."

"I will definitely go if I have time."

Then Zhang Yixing came over and chatted with Shen Juan for a while.

"Shen Juan, I really like your song "If I Can't Have You". It's definitely the kind of song that Americans can like. But to be honest, I feel that your previous rap works and your new songs are a bit more European and American. I don't know if it's my illusion."

"I am somewhat influenced by Western music. In fact, I have been listening to English songs since I was very young. Of course, I have also listened to a lot of popular music in China."

In the words of Mr. Harlem:

Singers who are influenced by Western music ideas will use a format when writing songs, such as cycling two or three chords, and then find the melody they like and want from it.

But Chinese music is different. Chinese music has a complete set of chord formulas, and most of the popular Chinese singles are written based on this formula.

Therefore, the works produced by Chinese singers with a European and American style are often completely different from the melodies of popular singles on the market, which means that they cannot write commercial love songs that are popular and appealing to both the elite and the masses.

"By the way, Shen Juan, where are you from?" Zhang Yixing asked in a puzzled manner.

"A person from Shanghai." Zhang Yixing suddenly realized.

Oh, you’re from Shanghai, that’s not surprising.

After all, Shanghai is more exposed to Western ideas and culture than other inland cities.

Of course, the thoughts and cultures we are exposed to may not be entirely good, but at least in terms of music, Europe, America, including Japan, are definitely ahead of China.

There is no way to deny this.

After breaking up with Zhang Yixing, Shen Juan ran into director Zeng Guoxiang, whom he had met during an online audition.

After such a close look and contact, Zeng Guoxiang became more and more satisfied with Shen Juan's appearance.

It’s a pity that a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. Lu Han’s current traffic data is still too impressive. As a director, he is still reluctant to give up the box office guarantee of his own movie.

Then I talked to Huang Xuan, who is also the spokesperson for Dior, about his "Youth", and talked to Zhang Ruoyun about the movie "La La Land" which they both like.
They kept walking, stopping and chatting until the ceremony was about to begin, and then Shen Juan was led by the staff to his seat.

After the opening stage, the awards ceremony will take place.

Shen Juan won two awards tonight, namely Mr. of the Year and Artist of the Year, both of which are of great value.

But to put it bluntly, the annual ceremony held by Mr. Fashion is essentially no different from other fashion ceremonies. They are just events to share the cake among celebrities.

No one will regard the trophies and awards received here as achievements that can be used to brag about and denigrate other colleagues in the fan circle.

Of course, Shen Juan didn’t really care.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities to win truly valuable awards in the future, so these few things won't matter.
