Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 130: Trip to London
Hu Lianxin, a high school student who was preparing for the art exam in her hometown of Shenzhen, found such a post in her spare time.

Title: How do you evaluate the fact that Shen Juan, who was only 19 years old, became famous less than half a year ago and was able to perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage, and even sing on the same stage with two music queens, Faye Wong and Na Ying?
Content: According to industry insiders, the original plan for Faye Wong and Na Ying to sing on the same stage at this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala was canceled, and Shen Juan was squeezed in with a new song to make it a three-person stage.

【What can I say? Shen Juan is awesome! 】

[What is wrong with the world that two long-established music queens are asked to carry the sedan chair for traffic stars? ]

[Faye Wong and Na Ying are getting better now, and are able to work with Shen Juan, the pride of our Chinese people.]

[Shen Juan's resources are really exaggerated. Tao Zhe actively called for his support on Weibo, and then Ba Ge invited him to collaborate on a song. Now he can even collaborate with Faye Wong and Na Ying on the Spring Festival Gala. In addition, he has performed on the League of Legends finals stage, the Victoria's Secret show, and the Pokémon theme song. I have never seen anyone with more traffic than him. I am really curious about who is the investor behind him, who can make so many music industry veterans support him and give him so many international resources.]

[As expected, Shen Juxing is the man who will lead Chinese music to the world with his English songs! He is a god! He is a god! ]

【Alas, capital. 】

【What the hell, you blame everything on capital, are you trying to find an excuse for your incompetence? In terms of traffic, I am in the top four of the domestic entertainment industry, and in terms of performance, I am in the top 100 of the B charts for two consecutive new songs. This achievement can be said to be unprecedented. How can he not deserve it? Not to mention that he is the most scarce and high-end singer-songwriter in the industry. Didn't you see his new song stage? He wrote all the songs, so can't he be allowed to sing on stage? 】

[In fact, in the final analysis, there are so many strange and reasonable conjectures on the Internet, just because they can't figure out why Shen Juan is successful, can't use a utilitarian perspective to measure his behavior, and are more willing to believe that success requires external forces to take shortcuts, and that outstanding people must form cliques and factions with external assistance to eliminate the existence of personal characteristics. Look! Isn't this much more reasonable? ]

【zzz Everyone knows how you got on Hot 100. It's just to swipe the media, right? Who doesn't know that? There's no chicken who really thinks that she called the sun out, right?】

【Then why don’t you just brush one out! 】

"Then why don't you just brush one out!"

As a fan of Shen Juan, Hu Lianxin's thoughts at this time are exactly the same as those of this netizen.

Don't blame the uneven road if people are not good enough.

Is always shining gold.

The roadblocks will always be kicked away.

There are always some people who like to mindlessly attribute other people's achievements to the help of external capital, and they are unwilling to admit that they themselves are working hard enough and are outstanding enough.

Anyway, in her opinion, Shen Juan is excellent in every aspect and is definitely the best candidate for an idol.

This is also the main reason why she changed her ideal art school from the Central Academy of Drama to the Beijing Film Academy some time ago.

Although people on the Internet say that Shen Juan is a professional at taking leave, he basically does not go back to school to attend classes except for final exams.

But if she could be admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and become a junior two years younger than him, with this identity, the relationship and distance between them would be more or less shortened.

Alas, why am I so humble?

No one else is as star-chasing as I am.

Hu Lianxin couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

People on the Internet say that Wu Jiaheng's rough fans are giving benefits to fans, so she hopes that Shen Juan can be like Wu Jiaheng, at least in this respect.

London, England.

He landed at Heathrow Airport in the evening London time. After resting in the hotel for a night to adjust to the time difference, Shen Juan got up early the next morning and got down to work.

When they arrived at the filming location by car, Shen Juan and his group were greeted by two middle-aged white men.

After introduction, one of them was Oliver, the MV director, and the other was Tom, the person in charge sent by Pokémon.

Of course, the main focus is still on director Oliver.

This producer actually plays more of the role of a domestic producer, responsible for coordinating and arranging various trivial matters during the filming, such as renting venues and props.

"Nice to meet you Alex. Your new song "In My Blood" is very popular even in my hometown of Birmingham. Many young people including my daughter who is in junior high school like it very much. I hope we can get along well in the next two days and shoot the most perfect MV, otherwise my daughter may not talk to me for a week."

"Man, you're really stressing me out when you say that."

Shen Juan couldn't help laughing when hearing Oliver say that. Although the recent popularity of "In My Blood" is indeed much higher than that of "If I Can't Have You" which was separated from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and it not only topped the iTunes singles chart in many countries including the UK, it is still not realistic to say how popular it is.

After all, it is not really that difficult to get on the iTunes chart, and it can be done by fans spending money to get on the chart.

And the money spent is not that much, at least it is much cheaper than buying magazines for celebrities to boost sales in China.

For example, the album "NAMANANA" released by Zhang Yixing later sold more than 200 copies in the first week and ranked 21st on the Billboard album chart, setting the best record for Chinese singers at the time.

(It has been on the charts for two weeks, ranking 21st in the first week and 181st in the second week. Whether these album sales were bought by Chinese fans or were just natural popularity, only those who understand will understand.)
Although there are often some celebrities in China who have created some amazing and difficult records, and their fans have to repeatedly emphasize that the data is not so easy to brush this time because of the rules and restrictions, in order to add value to the achievements.
But seriously, how could the powerful fans in the fan club be bound by so-called rules and regulations?

They have plenty of ways to find loopholes in the rules of these charts, and secretly help their idols' career development in ways that outsiders don't know but insiders know.

To put it bluntly, among so many commercial music charts at home and abroad, only the top 100 or top 200 of the Billboard Hot singles chart and the Billboard albums chart have a certain degree of authority and value.

At least these two lists are really difficult to get on.

The group arrived at the filming set while walking and chatting.

A rented old English house, where the indoor part of this MV will be filmed. "You must be familiar with Pokémon, right?"

Tom, the person in charge sent by Pokémon, walked up to Shen Juan, who was scribbling on the script in Chinese to make additional explanations during the break in filming, and asked with a smile.

"Yeah, I watched it often on TV when I was a kid." Shen Juan smiled and nodded, "I remember it was called "Pokémon" at the time, which seems to be the former translation name of our Wandao."

As he was talking, he seemed to suddenly recall those fun childhood memories and the innocence and fun that he could never regain, and he began to sigh again: "To be honest, if there really were creatures like Pokémon in this world, then everyone's life would be a lot more interesting."

"That's right! This is why we shot this MV. Although Pokémon are virtual creatures, we can bring them into the reality of the virtual world through film and television presentations, thereby achieving the intersection of virtual and real life and bringing people spiritual food that can heal and inspire them!"

"Yes, both movies, TV shows, animations and music novels should play such a role." Shen Juan nodded.

Director Oliver also came over at this time and asked curiously: "What are you two gentlemen talking about?"

"Of course, our theme for today's shoot."

"Hah! I'm here for this very reason too, Tom, do you mind if I borrow Alex for a few minutes?"

"Of course, after all, you are the boss here."

"No one considers my opinion?" Shen Juan said with a smile, "Do the actors here have no human rights?"

"Hahahaha I never said that."

Shen Juan stood up with the script in his hand and followed Oliver to the kitchen of the restaurant in the house. Then he heard him explain the various precautions for the filming later:

Because it was a non-object shooting, Shen Juan needed to know which Pokémon sat on each seat, such as Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, and Slowpoke.
Then, depending on which Pokémon will interact with him when he performs a certain action. For example, when he is cooking, a Charmander will jump over and spit fire, and Squirtle will be responsible for spraying water to put out the burning tables, chairs and curtains.

Shen Juan kept these contents firmly in mind.

When you are working, you have to stay focused.

This is the most basic professional ethics.

Of course, as the leading actor of the MV, Shen Juan also put forward his requirements. For example, he stated in advance that the table of dishes he made in the MV plot could not be all Western food, at least half of them had to be Chinese food.

Although he currently speaks English, sings English songs, and his music style tends to be European and American, this is merely the language he uses to build his fame and influence in Europe and the United States. His essential core is ultimately Chinese culture.

Face can change with the environment.

But the lining can't be thrown away casually.

The director gladly accepted Shen Juan's request. After all, Chinese food is not uncommon in the UK, and to some extent it is even a symbol of high-end.

So we quickly found a large table of Western-style Chinese food that looked good but was not to the taste of the Chinese baby.

Oliver then introduced the general content of the outdoor shooting. The male protagonist was almost hit by a car because he didn't look at the road on the main road. Fortunately, Snorlax and Kai'Li appeared in time to save the lives of the male protagonist and the driver.

And riding a dragon across the river, lying on the grass full of Bulbasaur seeds and enjoying the leisurely and relaxing atmosphere.
Shen Juan found it interesting just by listening to it.

Therefore, the subsequent filming work also continued in this relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Time passed smoothly until the evening of the 26th, and the one-and-a-half-day MV shooting mission for the Pokémon Day theme song "Celestial" was successfully completed.

Before leaving, Shen Juan not only fulfilled everyone's request for photos, but also gave gifts to every member of the crew. They were not very expensive, but they were a token of his thoughtfulness, which also earned him applause and cheers from everyone.

On the way back to the hotel in the city.

The assistant took out his phone and shared the recent domestic entertainment industry news with Shen Juan, saying that the "Idol Producer" he participated in recording has been updated to the second episode today, and the first stage performances of all the trainees have been released.

It has been widely discussed online, and its number of views is almost the same as last year's "Hip-Hop in China".

In particular, the fact that Shen Juan pointed out in person that the dance moves of Banana Entertainment trainees were suspected of plagiarism became the hot topic today due to Kiwi's marketing.

As Cai Xukun has the most outstanding appearance among the 100 trainees, his strength is also in the top tier, and he also has a storyline with Shen Juan. Naturally, it is no surprise that he has become the biggest beneficiary of this hit show.

The number of sign-ins in the super topic quickly exceeded 30,000.

Just two episodes of the show generated a huge amount of traffic. It can only be said that the talent show's effect in attracting fans is so terrifying.

Shen Juan sat quietly by the side, watching the scenery of the suburbs of London flashing by outside the car window, sighing silently.

It seems that everyone's career is on the right track.
I just don’t know if Kun Kun can still take the C position with his absolute popularity advantage like in the original time and space.

After all, most of the scattered fans that Lu Han lost were absorbed by him, and he also continued to release music and film and television works online during this period to maintain his exposure frequency, which is bound to affect the fan-attracting effect of this group of trainees.

So, it all depends on your ability.

Anyway, without using any tricks, it is not up to these artists to decide who the fans like.

　Thank you all for your recommendation tickets and monthly ticket subscription support!
　　Thanks to Penguin Fan for the 1500 points reward for Zhang Jingyi's character! Thanks to the boss!
