Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 11: Comfort and Hug Together for Warmth
"Then won't you come out and clarify it? Or does the company not intend to let you clarify it?" Shen Juan knew that some things could not be clarified just because the artist wanted to.

To give the simplest example: if an artist rushes out to deny a scandal as soon as he encounters it, then if he fails to clarify it in a timely manner afterwards, netizens will think that it is true.

It is really difficult to control public opinion.

Many things are not as simple as outsiders think.

Also, if many artists are caught up in the same controversy, and one of them has a different attitude and approach to the controversy than the others, will that make the others feel dissatisfied with him?

This is probably what happened between the prince and Hu Xianxu.

I was so scared that I chose to post an apology on Weibo.

I turned around and found that you were still holding on?

What am I then? A clown?

"The company told me that it's best to stay calm on issues like this where it's hard for the public to tell who's right and who's wrong. If the situation gets too serious, they might resort to legal action."

"Oh, let's not talk about me anymore. The more I talk about this kind of thing, the angrier I get. Why do I have to take the blame for everything? Is it because I don't have as many fans as others?"

Song Zuer sighed, then cheered himself up and gave Shen Juan a big, sunny smile.

"How about you? I'm really curious about what you did during those few months you were in South Korea."

"You're not really singing and dancing every day, are you? That would be so boring, I definitely can't stand that kind of life."

So Shen Juan told Song Zuer the training content and daily interesting things that he was familiar with after processing them.

There is nothing to hide because there is no private topic that cannot be discussed and he has no secrets.

"Well, it's really boring. But it's not a loss to gain so many fans after the show was broadcast." Song Zuer held his chin with his hand, his expression showing envy and yearning.

"Oh, I really want to be a popular star, so that when I am scolded, someone will stand up for me and support me."

"Actually, I am very happy every time I see fans and netizens praising me for my beauty. I even remember all the compliments they say. But I am still too obscure now. Not many people know me. Even if there are some, they probably only think of the role of Little Nezha. They are tired of seeing me."

"There will definitely be such a day. After all, you are quite pretty and this happens to be an age where looks are everything." Shen Juan gently stirred the steaming Qianlong fish head soup with a spoon. Perhaps because he knew what would happen in the future, he felt a little bit without appetite, so he turned his head to look out the window with no expression on his face.

This dock restaurant, which has both high prices and a good reputation, is located in the downtown area of Beijing, so the other side of the lake is the bustling night scene, with colorful neon lights flashing freely and pedestrians flowing on the road. Even from a distance, you can feel the hustle and bustle and vitality of the city, which forms a sharp contrast with the quiet atmosphere in the black-sailed boat.

"Of course, the premise is to abide by laws and regulations. In recent years, with the entry of Internet capital, domestic entertainment has grown bigger and bigger, and the economic benefits created have become higher and higher. The supervision of this circle will also be strengthened. The gray rules that were not allowed to be put on the table in the past may not be applicable now." Shen Juan added calmly.

The higher-ups have to use a sufficiently influential figure as a deterrent to keep others in line.

After all, if the tax issues in the entertainment industry are regulated, a considerable amount of tax revenue can indeed be squeezed out.

Moreover, the gray industrial chain hidden under tax issues has been the focus of efforts in recent years.

It's time to clean up the chaotic market that has grown wildly.

The two of them just looked at each other in silence for a long time. Song Zuer suddenly narrowed his eyes happily and smiled: "It's been so long since tonight, and I finally heard you say something sensible. You deserve praise!" "If you can listen to this and remember it in your heart, I might be even happier." Shen Juan curled his lips. He just simply didn't want to see his handsome friend "die young".

After all, who knows if I will be able to meet such a good friend like her in the circle in the future.

He didn't want to be like Ju Jingyi, who had been in the circle for so many years but didn't even have a friend to chat about gossip with in private.

Being a lone ranger is cool, but it's also tiring and boring.

"Oh? Juanjuan, can I understand that you are concerned about me?" Song Zuer approached again and looked at Shen Juan seriously from a very dangerous and ambiguous distance. After a long time, he gently joked: "You are so warm all of a sudden, you are not really interested in me, are you?"

"I just care about my friends, and we can only be friends." Shen Juan reiterated his attitude and ideas.

"Friends?" Song Zuer laughed inexplicably. "Friends are good. If we are friends, we don't have to take responsibility, right? How great! I like it!"

"Why do you suddenly say this?" Shen Juan couldn't continue because he felt a warm and soft touch from his lips.

Song Zuer suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him, putting her arms around his neck. But just as Shen Juan put his hands on the girl's slender and soft waist and was about to take a step forward, Song Zuer gently pushed him away.

"You said we are friends, so you don't have to be responsible. This is just my idea and has nothing to do with you." She squinted her eyes and smiled.

Shen Juan opened his mouth to speak but didn't know what to say. He knew very well that he didn't like this type of girls, but he had to admit that this passionate and long kiss simply and roughly aroused the deepest primitive desire in his heart and was driving his body forward step by step.

After standing there for a long time, Shen Juan finally came back to his senses, took a deep breath, smiled silently, and then asked, "Do you have any other plans tonight?"

"No." Song Zuer replied, holding his pounding heart: "We haven't seen each other for so long, I definitely won't arrange other activities when I go out to eat with you!"

"Then do you want to go back to the hotel and rest first? I feel a little sleepy." Shen Juan made the invitation seriously.

"What a coincidence! I'm also very sleepy!"

The two of them understood each other tacitly and hit it off almost immediately.

Since everyone is sober and rational and does not have to take responsibility, it is natural for them to warm each other up when they are single and lonely.
