Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 155 Running Man
In the end, Celestial’s first-day playback volume within 24 hours of its launch reached 1450 million.

Not only did it significantly refresh Shen Juan's personal record, but the single also successfully squeezed into the TOP24 of MV YouTube playback volume within 30 hours of release in the streaming media era.

Among Asian singers and artists, it is second only to "DNA" released by BTS of Kpop next door last year and "GENTLEMAN" released by Psy in 13.

Of course, there is no comparison between him and these two.

Psy is the equivalent of the Chopstick Brothers in China.

She became famous all over the country with the song "Little Apple" and made countless powerful singers and popular stars bow down to her.

As for BTS, it is the equivalent of Cai Xukun in the domestic entertainment industry: they are indeed popular, but definitely not the most popular, and certainly not as popular as the data suggests.

If Shen Juan wanted to, he could also produce a MV worth 20 million yuan, but there was no need for that.

Although some of Shen Juan's fans in China said that the reason why he was able to achieve such good results was purely due to the influence of the world-class IP Pokémon.

The size of his fan base is definitely not enough to support an MV that has over 24 million views in hours.

Without Pokémon, he was nothing.

Maybe there is some truth in what he said.

After all, if it weren't for the official preheating and promotion by Pokémon, with his current popularity (European and American singers whose new song MVs grossed over 2018 million on the first day in were basically top-tier) and the amount of water injection (East Asian artists going to the US need more or less water injection, and anyway, about to percent of Shen Juan's number is fake) it would be difficult to break the million mark.

But the matter is settled.

In any case, this important achievement, which will help him gain more attention in the short term and access more high-quality resources in the future, has already gone into Shen Juan's pocket.

Who made the Pokémon officials take a fancy to Shen Juan and choose him to produce the theme song for this year's Pokémon Day?
And even if we take a step back, not everyone can produce a theme song of this level of quality.

Therefore, these pro-Korea, pro-Japanese, and pro-American fans who think that Chinese singers cannot make it into the US and who feel deep down that Chinese people are not good enough have to hold back even if they are dissatisfied.

Just because others can’t do it doesn’t mean Shen Juan can’t do it.

Therefore, some artist teams that pursue an international career have quietly reduced the release of brainwash press releases about how “Chinese singers are met with a cold reception in the US because they are being suppressed.”

There is no way. The best example is right in front of us, so we naturally cannot fool the masses like we did before.

Considering that there will be movie resource albums released simultaneously in March and April, Shen Juan's work schedule will be very full and he will have almost no rest time.

So the rest of the time is mainly for relaxation.

Shen Juan first met with Bieber, whom he had just met through the All-Star Celebrity Game some time ago, and gave him birthday wishes and gifts in advance. During the party, he also met a large group of singers and celebrities from the European and American circles, which was considered to have expanded his network a little.

Then he took a flight to Europe and went to the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal's Chinese ambassador, where he witnessed Nana being slaughtered 3-0 by Manchester City.

Faced with this result that was unacceptable to the fans, Shen Juan hypocritically shook his head and sighed in front of the camera, looking sad.

It even became a hot topic because of this incident, and received comfort from many Arsenal fans and recognition from fans of other teams. It was quite strange and funny.

Then I went to Paris for two days, visited some famous places of interest, and then I found that my wallet had been stolen.

Fortunately, there were no documents in it, only some euros and pounds, otherwise it would be very troublesome to apply for a new document.

Can we just say that Paris is worthy of being the romantic city?

If you don't lose something when traveling here, you'd be embarrassed to say that you came to the authentic Paris.

And then.
The break is over and the work begins.

Shen Juan boarded a flight to Vienna, Austria, to participate in the recording of "Running Man Season 2".

The episode he is about to record is a classic male and female combination special that appears in every season of Running Man.

Because one of the permanent members, Wang Zulan, is holding her solo concert in Hung Hom and cannot come this time.

So this time the program team simply invited six flying guests at once, five of them women and one man.

There are a total of twelve people recording, and they will be divided into six teams to compete in the subsequent rounds of games.

Vienna train station.

After the opening remarks by Deng Chao and Cheng He, Shen Juan, who replaced Wang Zulan, made a brilliant appearance amid the cheers and applause of other resident guests and temporarily joined the Running Man family to travel in Europe.

Including Yang Ying, there are a total of six female guests in this episode. The director team originally planned to let Yang Ying team up with the new top star Shen Juan to achieve the effect of "old leading new".

But Shen Juan refused.

The specific reason was not given and the program team did not ask.

Therefore, the director team planned to arrange Zheng Kai, Yang Ying’s old CP partner from previous seasons, to team up with her.

But under Zheng Kai's "strong opposition", Yang Ying finally formed a temporary team with Running Man captain Deng Chao.

"Wow, have you noticed that since Xiao Juan came here today, it feels like the average appearance and average height of our entire Running Man team have instantly risen by more than one level."

Yang Ying looked up at the tall and handsome Shen Juan standing next to her, pretending to be an infatuated fan and flattering him.

In fact, before the recording, everyone was still calling him "Xiao Shen", but Shen Juan felt that it sounded a bit like Xiao Shenyang, so he asked them to change the name.

"Those under 1.80 meters tall, get out of line!"

As soon as the spirited words fell, Shen Juan, Cheng He, Li Chen and Deng Chao who said it took a step back at the same time in unison.

Only Lu Han, Zheng Kai and Yang Ying were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Yang Ying was fine, after all, she was a girl, and it would be strange if she was over 1.8 meters tall.

But Lu Han and Zheng Kai were very embarrassed.

"Baby, I have worn height-increasing insoles for you for five seasons, and today you treated me like this! Isn't it just that I didn't choose you as a teammate? Is it that serious?" Zheng Kai complained with a sad face.

“Isn’t it just 1.80 meters? I can still be 1.80 meters tall with two insoles.” Lu Han actually cares a lot about people saying he is short, but in order to avoid being noticed, he can only pretend to be calm.

(I've watched the video. When it comes to height, Lu Han becomes incoherent and evasive, and is visibly flustered. In comparison, Brother Nuli is much more open-minded.)
"."

After a playful opening party, the director began to announce the show and continued the process.

"Right away, let us meet today's first female guest. She will choose her partner by making a phone call."

Zheng Kai took the initiative to step forward and took the phone from the program staff, and after a while the phone rang.

"Hi, hi, hi~"

A sweet voice came from the phone.

Without even having to think about it, Shen Juan knew that the female guest was from Taiwan. After all, that coquettish Taiwanese accent that sounded like she was acting coquettish was so easy to recognize.

"Hello, hello, where are you from?" Zheng Kai asked knowingly.

"Well, it's hard to say, hehe~"

"Are you born in the 80s, 90s, or 00s?" Yang Ying then changed the question and asked.

"Post-90s." The reply came from the other end of the phone.

"Which male member of the Running Man team do you like the most?" Yang Ying continued to ask in a hoarse voice.

"Good question!" Zheng Kai couldn't help but exclaim.

"I like it. I've watched Ex 3."

"Oh!!!" Everyone laughed and looked at Zheng Kai with a mischievous look on their faces, who was laughing foolishly after hearing the news.

After all, the female guest's answer was already obvious, that is, he was the only one among the people present who had starred in "Ex-Files 3".

"Haven't you seen any other movies?" Deng Chao asked in surprise. I also have many representative works!

"Hahaha! She may not have finished her words. Although I like watching Ex 3, I particularly don't like Zheng Kai in it." Cheng He immediately followed suit and complained.

Shen Juan, like Lu Han, couldn't get a word in and could only be forced to be a quiet handsome man in the crowd.

Frankly speaking, he actually wanted to jump out and join in the fun, but everyone was talking about their own film works.

And he just happens not to have produced any film works.

You can't say that the movie "An Elephant Sitting Still" was not released in the country and even fans haven't watched it much, right?

"I can't accept it!"

"Difficult to accept."

"Why is it Zheng Kai?"

Ignoring the screams and howls around him, Zheng Kai replied to the female guest on the phone with a serious look on his face:

"In that case, you are obviously offering me an olive branch. I won't let you down."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the station." The voice on the other end of the phone responded sweetly in Taiwanese accent.

"okay!"

Zheng Kai looked very excited and excited. After all, in the previous seasons, the female guests chose the male guests.
High emotional intelligence: Every female guest will consider him as one of the candidates for her favorite male guest.

Low EQ: In the end, every female guest would not choose him as their recording partner for this episode.

"Okay, then congratulations to Zheng Kai and this female guest for forming a partnership in this episode." the director announced.

Next, everyone boarded the Austrian royal train and the journey officially began.

Not long after, the train stopped at the first station, and Zheng Kai's partner for this episode was also announced.

Kun Ling, Zhou Naicha's wife.

Because her husband is a pop star, she is indeed quite famous in China to a certain extent.

However, perhaps it was precisely because of her status as the wife of a superstar that Zheng Kai became very restrained. He was always paying attention to the distance and propriety between the two of them, for fear of having some unnecessary physical contact with her.

Of course, this is mainly because Zheng Kai is a very cultured and well-mannered person who respects women very much. It is definitely not because the king of pop was following the filming!
Shen Juan also took this rare opportunity to have a brief chat with Jay Chou, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, about their respective recent situations.

Shen Juan said that his album will be released around next month, and Jay Chou said that he would help promote it on Instagram.

Jay Chou said that he is currently preparing a new single, and Shen Juan said that both Jay Chou's fans and himself are looking forward to it.

But if I remember correctly, the new song that Jay Chou mentioned should be the one called "If you still want to rely on my chest muscles", so I wish him success.
After Zheng Kai picked up Kun Ling and boarded another exclusive carriage separated from everyone else, the royal train set off again for the next station.

No matter what time it is, riding in a train is always boring, let alone an old-fashioned train that is full of antique atmosphere and makes a whirring sound.

So in order to kill time, the director specially prepared a small game to increase the fun of the journey.

"Next we will play two games, and the winners of these two games will be paired up with two other girls."

“Oh~!”

Everyone was very supportive.

"Next we will release the information of these two girls. The first piece of information is what the lock screens of their phones are."

Girl A’s lock screen is a cute puppy, while girl B’s lock screen is a two-dimensional cat.

"Girl A is very caring." In Lu Han's opinion, girls who like small animals are very caring, such as his girlfriend who has both a cat and a dog.

"It can be seen that girl B is more eager for wealth. Look at this cat, it's a lucky cat!" Deng Chao explained in a mature manner.

"Brother Chao, your analysis is too old-fashioned," Shen Juan was a little speechless.

"Hahaha, your explanation is unique!" Cheng He was also amused.

“There are more types of cats than just the lucky cat.”

Looking at this screensaver, you can tell that girl B must be very young, after all, it’s the second dimension.

But A is still not certain.

"Okay, now for the second message. What was the most recent takeaway for the two girls?"

"Braised pork rice, boiled vegetables, meat on the lips, braised bamboo shoots" for girl A.

"Egg waffles." From girl B.

"It's just like one is losing weight and the other is gaining weight crazily." Deng Chao touched his chin and gave his judgment again seriously.

"Is Sister Jia Ling here?" When Lu Han heard about losing weight, he instantly thought of Jia Ling.

"Jia Jia Ling?"

When Cheng He, who already suffered from PTSD, heard the name, he instantly recalled the sad experiences in previous seasons.

He knew that as soon as Jia Ling came, she would definitely be in the same group with him, and he instantly didn't want to continue.

The third message was: "Do you have any pets?"

Girl A only has a cute little dog named Pinky.

Girl B has a large group of pets with all kinds of names.

"What was your first screen name on the social networking site?" The fourth question.

Girl A’s name is Shelly.

"It looks so familiar. I think I've used this online name before." Yang Ying said.

For girl B, it is.
What is the eye of Ruizhe?
Classic non-mainstream nicknames for post-90s, too strong
"It's Cinderella, Cinderella." Shen Juan very considerately translated for this group of seniors who were still a little confused.

"Yes, it's a girl who is more like the second dimension." Cheng He nodded in agreement.

"By the way, will she feel ashamed when she sees this non-mainstream online name she used before?"

Shen Juan thought that his expression management was pretty good, at least he didn't laugh out loud.

"What was your first online name, Xiaojuan?" Deng Chao suddenly asked.

"Ah? This... I don't seem to remember it very well." Shen Juan decisively chose to play dumb.

It is better not to expose this kind of "black history" that will make you feel ashamed.

After all, most children born in 98 probably first came into contact with the Internet in elementary school.

What kind of online names will primary school students choose?
It doesn't sound vivid at all if I say it out loud.
