Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 120 Expanding Overseas Territory

The first day of 2018, the morning of New Year’s Day.

Changsha Huanghua International Airport VIP Lounge.

The aftermath of last night’s New Year’s Eve concert is still going on.

But Shen Juan was reviewing a major event that happened yesterday on his mobile phone that could potentially detonate the entire hip-hop circle.

Yesterday, December 12st, Zhuo Wei Fengxing Studio suddenly revealed shocking news, saying that they photographed Li Xiaolu staying overnight at Piji Wan's house on the 31th and not going out all night.

After the incident was exposed, the parties involved, Jia Nailiang and Li Xiaolu, Pi Jiwan, as well as Ma Su and Jia Nailiang's friend Huang Yiqing all responded to the matter.

The responses were all nonsense. They were all evasive and each one was more fabricated than the other. Especially Pi Jiwan's classic clarification Weibo post that began with "This is my brother Liang, and this is my sister-in-law", which made Shen Juan very nervous.

So this is what is called
Is there anything more delicious than dumplings, and nothing more fun than my sister-in-law?

In response to this incident with a bad impact, netizens were extremely active in commenting, especially Shen Juan's fans, who came out one after another to express their satisfaction and said that they deserved the punishment.

There is nothing more satisfying than seeing two of your enemies fall one after another.

For Xiao Chunjuan, Pi Jiwan, who had conflicts with Shen Juan and DISS Shen Juan, and Li Xiaolu, the shameless person who was exposed by more than one marketing account for seducing Shen Juan, are their sworn enemies.

At the same time, many funny jokes were born.

For example, my wife went to get her hair done.

That year when there was hip-hop, Nai Liang lost his home.

Someone also sorted out the timeline and said that Li Xiaolu initially pursued Shen Juan but failed. This can be seen from the selfies she updated on Weibo from August to October. She was basically wearing the same clothes as Shen Juan in "The Hip Hop".

I guess she was rejected, which led to a month of silence. Then after meeting Pidgewan, she started wearing the same clothes as Pidgewan and taking selfies in December.

Many netizens said: The case is solved! Pi Jiwan is the bankrupt beggar version of Shen Juanping that Li Xiaolu found as a substitute!
Many little spring rolls expressed their dissatisfaction: comparing Pi Jiwan with Shen Juan is like trying to climb the moon and make a mockery of him! Putting them together is disrespectful to Shen Juan!
As for Shen Juan himself, he didn't expect that Xiaolu was so hungry that he would not be picky about food. After being rejected several times in a row, he actually settled for the second best and set his sights on Pijiwan.

Do you really look down on my brother Liang that much?
Anyway, he didn't know what to say.

He could only secretly be thankful that he had not gotten involved with Li Xiaolu and Ma Su, who was nicknamed "madam", otherwise it would be difficult for him to sever ties with them now.

After happily eating the melon, Shen Juan went on to look at a document that his agent had handed to him this morning.

This is a year-end inventory compiled by his team members a few days ago, which mainly summarizes the work completed and achievements made by Shen Juan last year.

The general meaning is to let him take a look first, and if there is no problem, a more detailed and complete report will be posted on Weibo tonight or tomorrow morning.

Data:

He has been on the Weibo hot search list more than 100 times and has been on the list for more than 45000 minutes. His personal topic #沈涓# has been read more than 700 billion times and has 40+ titles on the Weibo hot search list.

Popularity:

On the 31st, the Weibo super topic had 17 sign-ins, surpassing Wang Junkai and temporarily ranking fourth in the domestic entertainment industry, second only to Yi Yang, Qianxi, Wang Yuan and Lu Han, the three top streamers with 20 sign-ins.

Of course, the following long paragraph will not be posted on Weibo. After all, the year-end summary usually only lists data, and the ranking will not be marked unless it is the first.

Music:

The single "If I Can't Have You" entered the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed on the chart for three weeks, peaking at 44.

It ranked first on both the overall and sub-charts of the US iTunes charts, and has remained at the top for more than 400 hours. Its competitors during the same period are all popular hits of the same level as Camila Cabello's "Havana", Imagine Dragons' "Thunder" and Huang Laoban's "Perfect".

Then there are the performance data of the rap singles used in the competition, which is nothing more than the number of millions of views on the entire network and the ranking on which authoritative list.

In fact, if Shen Juan really wants to gain more popularity through these rap singles, he can just re-record them and release the studio version on major music platforms.

For example, Mao Buyi, the next-door boy group Tomorrow, is like this.

But he and the company felt that this was unnecessary.

Because he has better options for getting traffic.

And many times the studio version may not be as good as the live version, so just release a live album that includes all the competition songs just for the sake of showing your respect. Anyway, there won’t be many chances to use these hip-hop singles in future concerts.

Business endorsement:

12 have been announced and 2 are yet to be announced.

Except for the blue-blood Dior, the red-blood YSL, the top luxury jewelry Tiffany, and Estee Lauder and L'Oreal, without exception, all of them have the highest brand spokesperson title.

In fact, many brands originally did not have the concept of global spokespersons. It was just that some luxury brands added the prefix "global" in order to distinguish wholesale spokespersons from real spokespersons approved by the headquarters.

Fashion Magazine:

Starting from July, an average of one magazine will be released every month, including two quasi-first-tier men's magazines and one first-tier men's magazine.

(The already released fashion COSMO and the already shot and waiting for release fashion men are not included)

Then there are some miscellaneous things about his personal and fans' charitable achievements and social activities. Overall, it is quite complete.

So Shen Juan also said that there was no problem.

So Yangjin Zhuoma discussed with Shen Juan the itinerary arrangements that had been scheduled for the next two months.

"First, there will be Weibo Night on the 18th. The venue will be the Water Cube in Beijing. You can attend this event right after your final exams this semester."

"We have to fly to London on the 20th to shoot the MV for the Pokémon theme song. Then there's an extra job. The Pokémon live-action movie Detective Pikachu is also being filmed in London, so they plan to invite you to make a cameo appearance after you finish the MV."

"So I am following the path of those senior actors," Shen Juan was referring to the internationally renowned actors such as Zhang Ziyi and Xiao Pang, who played minor roles in big IPs to show off their status.

Supporting characters like Li Bingbing and Aida Wang who left a deep impression on people are not within the scope of discussion.

"What? Are you still not happy?"

"No, it's just that I used to tease them about this, and I never thought that one day I would end up following their path. It feels like I've slapped myself in the face."

"This is normal. When you enter the circle, your position and height are different, and the information you are exposed to is different. Your thoughts and mentality will naturally change. Just get used to it."

"Well, is there any other work then?"

"What's left is the overseas tour. With your new song entering the top 50 of the hot 100, your resources are getting better now." Yangjin Zhuoma opened the memo on her phone.

"First, the Grammys have officially invited you to attend their awards ceremony this year as a guest. You and Yi Yang Qianxi are the only ones invited from China. This is not only a good marketing topic, but also a good opportunity to show your face in front of Americans and expand your overseas popularity."

"Wow, I didn't expect that my first Grammy trip in my life would come so soon." Shen Juan was really happy and excited from the bottom of his heart. The Grammy is a world-class award for every musician.

"There's nothing to be proud of. To put it bluntly, you were just an audience member they invited. You weren't nominated, so the Grammys have nothing to do with you."

"That's a good start anyway, isn't it?" Shen Juan smiled and shrugged. "And I can also see the world. I want to personally experience the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Awards in China and the Oscars and Grammys abroad. After all, isn't the purpose of being a star to shine in such grand occasions?"

"Then the NFL has noticed your influence and appeal among young people in China and invited you to be their promotion ambassador. In return, they will let you perform on stage at Super Bowl LIVE, the pre-Super Bowl music festival, in early February."

NFL is the American Professional Football League.

The Super Bowl can be considered the league finals.

The status of the Super Bowl in the United States is equivalent to that of our Spring Festival Gala. Its ratings are even several times higher than that of the Spring Festival Gala. Every year, more than 100 million Americans watch the live broadcast.

Therefore, only the top singers can appear in front of the American audience as halftime show performers.

As for the Super Bowl pre-music festival that Shen Juan is about to participate in, it actually has certain value.

The event will last for ten days, and many singers and bands of different fame and status will have the opportunity to perform.

Among them are not only famous big-name singers and bands, but also newcomers who are just emerging in the music scene.

For Shen Juan, who is currently only a popular newcomer in the United States and whose songs are popular but he himself is not, this is definitely a good opportunity to let more listeners living in the United States, whether Asian, white or black, know him.

"By the way, this year's Super Bowl seems to be held in Minnesota. I heard it's very cold there. Be careful not to catch a cold when the time comes." Yangjin Zhuoma checked the February temperatures in Minnesota in previous years in advance and found that it was colder than Harbin, so she quickly reminded them.

"Well, you should also be careful not to catch a cold." Shen Juan, who was eating free fruits in the VIP room, replied casually.

"What are you doing?" Yangjin Zhuoma looked surprised.

"Hmm? Is there any problem?" Shen Juan was puzzled.

"Nothing, no problem"

Yangjin Zhuoma felt that she was probably ill.

After Christmas Day, she listened carefully to every word Shen Juan said to her, remembered it very clearly, and sometimes even over-interpreted it like she was doing now.

She knew that this was unprofessional, but it was indeed difficult for her to remain calm and composed in front of Shen Juan as before, so she could only try her best to suppress these strange feelings and thoughts.

Trying to slowly smooth out this throbbing feeling over time.

After calming down, we started talking about work again:

"After the warm-up music festival performances, we went straight back to China to participate in the rehearsal of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Then on the first day of the Lunar New Year, we had to fly directly to Los Angeles. The NBA Celebrity Game started on the 17th local time in the United States, so we might not be able to squeeze out even a day off during the Spring Festival this year."

"Why can't you squeeze it out?" Shen Juan looked at his agent in confusion, "When I'm in the U.S. preparing for the album, you can go back to China and rest for a while."

After a moment of silence, Yang Yangjin gave a reason: "I am worried about leaving you alone to handle the work abroad."

"You still don't believe me?"

“I believe it, but it’s because I believe it too much that I feel uneasy.” Yangjin Zhuoma replied softly.

"OK, then it's up to you!"

He doesn't want paid vacation. This person is really weird.
