Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 13 American Boy
"Can we continue?" Shen Juan was a little tempted.

The popularity of this drama is actually quite good. Although it does not reach the level of a hit drama, it has a good reputation online and is very suitable for him as a newcomer in the film and television industry who has just returned to China.

"Huh?" Yangjin Zhuoma suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"I think we can take a look at the script first. There's no need to reject it so hastily. Campus dramas are still very popular in the domestic entertainment industry in recent years." Shen Juan explained again.

Take Hu Yitian, for example, who became famous through campus dramas.

In February 18, the number of sign-ins in his super topic exceeded 2.

He is second only to Lu Han and Wu Jiaheng, the three little boys, Zhang Yixing and Huang Zitao, Li Yifeng, Xue Zhiqian and Di Lieba, and Cai Xukun who made his mark with the Idol Show.

Although it cannot be said to be the top one, it is still second to the top.

If it weren't for the series of scandals and collapses later, I would probably have been able to stay in the second-top position for another year or two.

In addition, in the following years, especially after "The Love of Men", the domestic film and television industry has completely become a world dominated by ancient costume fantasy and fairy tales, so it is really difficult for Shen Juan not to strive for the last period of time to reap the benefits of fresh campus dramas.

"Well, Sister Hua thinks highly of me, doesn't she? Just tell her it was my idea, that I want to try acting. After all, I am also a student at Beijing Film Academy."

"Xiao Juan, do you think highly of this drama?"

"It's not that we are optimistic, but our resources are limited at the moment, and we don't have a better choice, right?"

Shen Juan had a clear view of the situation. At the moment, the only film and television projects he could access were those that would be launched in the fourth quarter.

For the projects that started shooting in Q3, the roles had already been decided, so there was no possibility of cutting in midway and interrupting.

So why not use this time to film a campus drama to enrich your work life and improve your acting experience?
You know, the more movies you act in, the higher the offer for your salary will be, and newcomers don't have much money.

"In that case, I'll go and give it a try. But I can't guarantee that Sister Du Hua will listen to your advice. After all, she is the boss. She is in a different position from us, and her angle and way of looking at problems are also different." Yangjin Zhuoma gave Shen Juan a shot of prevention first.

"It's okay, just do your best, thank you, sister."

"You're welcome. After all, we share a community of interests!" Yangjin Zhuoma responded to Shen Juan's thanks with a smile.

The week passed quickly.

The chirping of June cicadas gradually sounded, and the recording of the second round of promotion competition of "Hip-Hop China" has arrived.

Beijing, Daxing Starlight Film and Television Park.

After discussing with the team, Shen Juan made a layered outfit today that was natural and casual yet sophisticated.

A black work vest is paired with a blue plaid shirt, and three gold chains of different thicknesses are worn around the neck to increase the sense of volume and pull the visual center from the face to the chest.

At the same time, the gemstone gold rings and bracelets worn on the hands are the best partners when picking up the microphone to perform.

Every sparkling and blingbling fashion item highlights Shen Juan's sense of trend and fashion temperament as a fashionable idol or a mature traffic artist.

For ordinary rappers, participating in "Hip-Hop in China" is mainly to showcase their rap skills.

But for Shen Juan, this program is just one of the channels to increase his popularity in the domestic entertainment industry.

Naturally, while demonstrating their strong professional abilities, they will also make efforts in the field of fashion and dressing to attract the attention of the fashion circle and shape their artist image.

After saying goodbye to his agent and assistant at the venue entrance, he successfully passed security check and entered the recording venue, and then a special staff member led Shen Juan to his contestant seat.

At this moment, almost all the contestants who attach great importance to this competition have arrived.

Shen Juan arrived relatively late.

This also earned him a lot of attention.

There is curiosity and longing, contempt and disdain, envy and jealousy, as well as a little bit of imperceptible flattery.

Sitting in his seat, Shen Juan casually looked at the styles and outfits of the contestants around him. Why did they all have Brother Ni’s dreadlocks?

Coincidentally, a contestant wearing a baseball cap was also peeking at Shen Juan, who stood out among the crowd of ugly guys.

So the two of them just stared at each other.

Before Shen Juan could react, the baseball cap boy smiled shyly, nodded at the expressionless Shen Juan, and lowered his posture to actively show his goodwill. He happened to have listened to Shen Juan's audition performance last time, and knew that this cold-faced handsome guy who seemed to be owed a million to everyone was very capable and awesome.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Shen Juan and see if he could learn something from him.

And even if I can't make the connection, I can probably get a lot of shots by sitting next to him.

After all, this guy has a charming look, so it's hard for him not to be used by the program crew to attract female fans.

"Hey, what's up bro? My name is Nuomi, nice to meet you, you know M3?" The boy in the baseball cap who called himself Nuomi stretched out his right hand with a smile on his face.

Is this Brother Ni from the West Coast? Shen Juan thought about it and extended his hand to give him face and shook it briefly.

He is here to make money and traffic, not to make friends, but there is no need to make enemies with everyone, right?
"Hello, my name is Shen Juan."

"Yo I know you bro! I know you you know m3? The two songs you sang on the audition day were damn awesome! You know m3?"

This guy is here to make people laugh.
Shen Juan's expression was difficult to maintain, but when he saw that the camera was filming him, he decided to remain silent.

"My audition examiners are Hot Dog and Zhang Zhenyue. Hot Dog is very nice, but Zhang Zhenyue is very strict. He even said that I am just a hobby. This is my ideal. Why should I treat it as a hobby? This is a humiliation to me!"

"Um"

Suffering from cultural shock, Shen Juan didn't know what to say in response for a moment, so he just said "come on".

Unexpectedly, the child might have mistakenly thought that Shen Juan was on his side, and he sputtered a lot of short Chinese and English sentences that seemed like complaints but were actually incomprehensible.

Fortunately, the recording started not long after.

Otherwise, Shen Juan would really not be able to hold back his laughter.

The rules for the second round of competition are roughly like this.

60-second solo show.

The three groups of producers can select by using the buttons in front of them. If the pass button is pressed, the contestant will advance directly. If all three producers press the fail button, flames will be ignited around the stage and the contestant will be eliminated directly.

The first player to come on stage was TY.

The DJ introduced him as being very famous on the other side of the strait.

But is it really famous?

Anyway, Shen Juan doesn’t think so.

What's interesting is that this pretending to be fierce flat-headed brother had a conflict with the producer during the audition, and even dissed the program team and Zhang Zhenyue on Weibo afterwards. He looks very capable, but I don't know if he really has the ability or just doesn't know his own weight.

then
Then his performance made Shen Juan understand what it meant to be like sitting in a well and looking at the sky from afar, and what it meant to have no idea what was going on.

He is a very mediocre brother with a loud voice.

The three mentors also frowned, pressed the fail button one by one, ignited the flames and sent him away happily.

"How do you think he sings?" Nuomi actually thinks that this arrogant honey badger sings better than herself.

"You're probably just an amateur. You need to practice more. I don't know where you get such a bad temper." Shen Juan learned and applied what he learned immediately. He spoke concisely and boldly without any fear of offending anyone.

"I don't think it's very good either." Nuomi felt guilty when he heard that, and could only stammer and agree, even forgetting to add the iconic ending M3.

But at the same time, he became more certain of his previous thoughts, believing that this cold-faced handsome guy who was so handsome that it was scary would definitely become bigger and stronger and achieve great success in the future.

What is the Hip-hop spirit?

This is called the spirit of Hip-hop!

Say whatever you want to say, speak up boldly.

This is the real truth without any embellishment!
