Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 113: Regular Variety Show Invitation

At seven o'clock in the evening, the recording ended and we left.

As per past practice, He Jiong, as the host, invited all the guests and several hosts of Happy Family to have a dinner together to exchange feelings and strengthen their relationships.

While waiting for the food, Shen Juan shared his experience of recording Happy Camp with Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye on WeChat, and also added Wu Xin, Wei Jia, Wang Junkai, Dong Zijian and others on WeChat.

Why no Barba?
Because Baba had left early, saying that she had an announcement to make and had to catch a flight the next day, but I don’t know if it’s true or not.

Anyway, Shen Juan often used this excuse to avoid socializing when attending other events before.

To some extent, their ways and attitudes in dealing with people are actually quite similar. Although they seem to be unsociable and have low emotional intelligence, it is actually the safest approach.

As long as you do nothing, you won't make any mistakes.

Back to the topic.

Shen Juan is not the kind of person who can get along with everyone, and he did this not because he really wanted to make friends with them, establish good friendships or gain something from them.

Simply because he felt that as a newcomer in the industry, it was best to be humble and friendly.

After all, domestic entertainment is a slightly larger circle.

All kinds of information can be exchanged in it.

So he didn't want to hear from others in the future that he was arrogant and looked down on others.

And to put it bluntly, Shen Juan can't be friends with them, especially Wang Junkai, who is also a top star.

Their development paths overlap to a great extent: both are involved in film, television and music, and they are even of similar age.

In other words, the film and television roles and commercial endorsements that are suitable for Shen Juan are very likely to match Wang Junkai.

How is it possible to establish close friendships when the competitive atmosphere is so intense?
Unless one of them suddenly becomes obscure, or the gap in development is so big that it is impossible to catch up even if you want to.

Otherwise, it’s better to just be an honest opponent.

In this regard, the other two members of the Come On Boys, Prince and Huazi, should have similar ideas to Shen Juan.

After friends who grew up together went solo to set up their own studios and joined different camps, they fought openly and secretly for resources, and even stopped communicating with each other and were unwilling to even mention each other's names in front of the camera.

In the end, there were indeed no losers among the three of them, only the fans who believed in the "Ten-Year Agreement" became clowns.

The story of becoming famous at a young age is also sad.

As the glasses clinked and cups were exchanged, three rounds of wine had passed and five dishes had been prepared, and this social dinner was coming to an end.

Just as everyone was going out one after another to relieve themselves or avoid drinking, He Jiong took Shen Juan's hand and talked to him in private, obviously coming with a mission.

"Xiao Juan, besides releasing an album, do you have any other work plans in the first half of next year?"

"There is another movie to be filmed." Shen Juan was referring to "A River of Sadness" which was written by Guo Jingming.

Although the top-tier celebrities participated in this low-budget movie whose creative team was mainly composed of new actors, it felt a bit like they were lowering their status by selling blood to help the poor and supporting the whole crew.

But that's often the case.

There are gains and there are losses.

It's nothing more than a fair trade where everyone gets what they need.

The film company can get fresh traffic and marketing topics from Shen Juan, and can also encourage his fans to buy tickets to boost box office growth and ensure that they do not lose money.

As for Shen Juan, he can also realize resource monetization or resource exchange through this movie, so that fans' long-accumulated desire to spend money can be fully released.

The leading actors are all newcomers, which means that the box office performance of this movie can be entirely attributed to Shen Juan.

By then, when other investors in the industry see that even a movie with such poor word-of-mouth reviews can be carried by Shen Juan at the box office on his own, won’t there be a lot of scripts coming to them?
As for whether the audience will be left with the impression that he only acts in bad movies, Shen Juan is actually not worried at all.

On the one hand, the focus of this movie is on the heroine, and the hero does not have as many roles as expected.

If anyone is going to criticize someone, it should be the heroine.

Based on the principle that I would rather let the world down than let the world let me down, Le Hua will definitely shift his firepower to the heroine.

Although it's a bit bullying, this circle is so realistic, and reality is often very cruel.

Someone always suffers anyway.

Why does it have to be me?

On the other hand, even if the opponents forcibly attribute the reason for the poor reputation of the movie to Shen Juan by guiding public opinion, they will mislead those viewers who have not seen the movie.

Shen Juan and Le Hua behind him were not afraid either.

Anyway, the movie, which is about to be renamed "An Elephant Sitting Still", is always prepared for this. Wouldn't it be more convenient for marketing if it could get a nomination for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor?

You can fool those netizens who don't watch the movie but just follow the crowd to comment on the actors' acting skills, but I can't?
What do you nominate? What do I nominate?
Shen Juan is not afraid at all when it comes to fighting a war of public opinion.

"Then can I ask about the schedule? When will your movie start shooting?" He Jiong asked softly.

"It should be in March. My part is being filmed intensively, and it will probably be finished soon." Shen Juan didn't hide it. Anyway, this kind of information is worthless. As long as people in the industry want to investigate, it is impossible to hide it. "Is that so?" He Jiong nodded thoughtfully, then reorganized his words and got to the point: "Xiao Juan, this is it, you should know the slow variety show "Longing for Life" that I did with Teacher Huang?"

"Then there is such a situation now. One of our regular guests, Henry Liu Xianhua, may not be able to participate in the recording next year due to his schedule in South Korea, so we are looking for a new regular guest recently. After discussion, Mr. Huang Lei, other directors and investors, I all agree that you are very suitable to replace him in our program."

"So I want to see if you have time or interest in coming to our show next year." He Jiong smiled gently, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation.

Both he and Huang Lei have extremely high expectations for the second season of "A Longing for Life", so they want to find a top star to act as the face of the show, which will not only stimulate the continued growth in ratings, but also bring more investment to the show.

Shen Juan, who has a very good reputation in the sinking market and has never been a regular on other variety shows before, has not lost his sense of mystery and freshness. He is still a "blank sheet of paper" and has undoubtedly become their best choice.

Shen Juan was actually a little confused.

He really didn't expect that he would hear such good news when he took the time to come to Changsha to record a Happy Camp to maintain his exposure.

As one of the few popular variety shows in the domestic entertainment industry that can break through the circle and trigger public discussion, the first three seasons of "A Longing for Life" are high-quality resources for all artists.

Anyway, the reason why Peng Yuchang and Zhang Zifeng, two "amateurs" with mediocre development, have such high national popularity and such good popularity among the public is all because of the blessing of this hit variety show. At the same time, this also lays the groundwork for their subsequent exposure to other high-quality resources.

Also considering that I really need to find a stable channel to gain continuous exposure and traffic in the domestic entertainment industry next year.

So his choice is obvious.

At that time, he will replace Liu Xianhua, and then find an opportunity to insert the hardworking Peng Peng like in the original time and space.

Then, after getting familiar with Huang Lei and He Jiong and gaining a certain degree of say, you can also make suggestions on the list of guests to be invited for each episode, and call your own group of friends to play. While bringing them in to attract traffic and create hype, you can also have a pastoral version of a publicly funded love affair. Isn't that wonderful?

On the 15th, Shen Juan returned to Beijing and came to Minsheng Art Museum to attend the GQ Person of the Year Ceremony.

While establishing a preliminary friendship and cooperative relationship with the only two first-tier men's magazines in the country, Zhizu, he also took the opportunity to go on stage to sing "If I Can't Have You", which just made Chinese history and entered the B chart hot 100, and took the opportunity to receive the annual musician trophy distributed to him by the organizer.

In fact, Zhizu has always been interested in cooperating with Shen Juan, a talented singer-songwriter who has achieved extraordinary success at a young age and is even expected to truly go abroad and open up the global market. Shen Juan’s current main luxury brand Dior has also seen his development potential and has been putting him in contact with major fashion magazines to help him unlock various covers.

It’s a pity that the cover character of the February issue of Zhizu next year has been confirmed to be Duan Yihong, and the cover character of the January issue that has been released is the famous poet Cheng Kaige.

So after internal discussion, they decided to let Shen Juan be the more important cover character of the March quarterly issue.

(Generally speaking, Golden September > Opening of the Season > Silver October)

In their opinion, Shen Juan's expressiveness and influence in the fashion circle are no less than those of these people.

After all, international celebrities no longer have as much influence as before among ordinary people who are disenchanted with Europe and the United States.

But in the fashion circle that is closely connected with the international community, it is still one of the most advanced and stylish.

To put it bluntly, top talents in all walks of life are eager to go global and become famous in front of people all over the world.

But domestic entertainment is different.

Because this group of artists make money so easily and live such a comfortable life, they are gradually becoming like the national football team.

In short, people become rich before they become strong. How can talents be cultivated in such an environment?

People like Shen Juan who tear off the fig leaf of domestic entertainment stars and cause netizens to criticize and question this group of traffic stars who are just living a life of idleness and waiting to die have become annoying outliers.

The next day.

Shen Juan immediately took a flight to Shanghai and went to the Mercedes-Benz Cultural Center, which he was very familiar with, to attend this year's music festival Miguhui.

This music festival, Miguhui, is actually our country’s Grammy.

Hosted by Migu Music, it was formerly known as the China Mobile Wireless Music Awards Ceremony, which was founded in 2007.

This year marks the eleventh anniversary of the event.

It's a pity that it's not well-known enough and its reputation has not been promoted. In addition, the award scoring only counts the chart data of Migu Music. It is not authoritative and valuable enough, and finally it has become an awards ceremony for dividing the pork.

However, no matter how the benefits are divided, this music festival still has a certain influence on the Chinese music scene.

This can be seen just from the lineup of invited guests.

Jay Chou, Jane Zhang, Cai Yilin, Li Ronghao, Deng Ziqi, Xue Zhiqian, Shen Juan, Go Go Boys, Wu Jiaheng, and Liang Bo are all top-notch celebrities.

Apart from the Golden Melody Awards, there may be no other music awards ceremony in China that is as grand as this one.

So as a newbie in the industry, Shen Juan behaved very modestly and low-key at the party.

Although the achievements he has made at this stage may be heights that most singers present cannot reach in their entire careers.

But still the same sentence.

To this group of seniors who have been in the industry for many years, as long as the general direction is fine and their character is not too despicable, all he can show is respect.

The party ended and everyone left.

Without staying to reminisce with Jie Lun and others, Shen Juan rushed to the airport again to start his next journey.

The first recording of Kiwi's "Idol Producer" will begin in Langfang tomorrow. As the vocal instructor of this program, Shen Juan naturally needs to be present.
