Huayu: Starting from the top talent show

Chapter 165: Make some quick money and get some exposure

After filming this MV and saying goodbye to Cheng Xiao, the production of the entire album was completed.

A total of 16 MVs were shot for the 8 songs, 6 of which were starred by Shen Juan himself. The other 2 were "Pray For Me" produced by Black Panther Films itself, and "Beautiful People" shot by the company with local actors.

Relatively speaking, the production cost is still quite high.

Moreover, if too many MVs are online at the same time, it will cause streaming data to be diverted. Fans cannot increase the playback volume of several songs at the same time, so they must make a choice, which will more or less affect the calculation results of the B list hot 100.

Fortunately, after Shen Juan became famous, he successfully signed a distribution and promotion agreement with Universal Music for his subsequent albums.

Therefore, Universal was willing to carry out all-round packaging and promotion for Shen Juan in advance when he released his first official album. They bought a lot of radio playlists for him, which could slightly increase his radio performance and barely make up for some of the loss of streaming media.

As for the release time, considering that European and American singers generally release songs on Fridays (which is more beneficial for calculating the B chart scores).

So there are actually only a few options in April:

No. 6, No. 13, No. 20, No. 27.

Shen Juan finally chose number 13.

Because he just happened to catch up with Coachella: he received an official performance invitation from Coachella some time ago.

By then, the new album will be premiered on the Coachella stage, and with the joint operation and promotion of the company and Universal, it may have a good publicity effect.

The next day, Shen Juan followed the team by plane to Hangzhou to meet up with the production crew of "The Longing for Life Season 2".

This season of "Longing for Life" was due to the original resident guest Liu Xianhua's withdrawal for some reason, leading the program team to decide to let Shen Juan and Peng Yuchang fill the vacancy left by him:
Shen Juan is responsible for investment promotion and ratings, while Peng Yuchang is responsible for making up for the lack of variety show sense caused by Liu Xianhua's departure.

Anyway, that’s what the program team planned.

However, because the two new members have never participated in variety shows before and have no talent in this area, the pressure on the program crew is actually quite great.

This also led them to tell the two of them many times during this period how to record the variety show to be outstanding and how to create topics.

The most important thing in recording a good variety show is of course the character setting, that is, the role positioning of the guests in the program.

For example, the two most popular shows in China, Running Man and Go Fighting, both have their own characters. However, due to the personal reasons of some guests, Go Fighting has a lot more uncertainties than Running Man.

Therefore, in order to make full use of Shen Juan's popularity, the program team also prepared many personalities for him this time.

Including but not limited to Zhang Yixing's harmless little sheep character who is often bullied by bad uncles in Extreme Challenge, and Lu Han's silly roe deer character in Running Man
Anyway, just let him act stupid and innocent.

After all, the program crew also knows that Shen Juan doesn't have much sense of humor, so they can't count on him for variety show sense.

And in fact, the innocent character who pretends to be stupid and ignorant is really popular in the fan circle and attracts a lot of fans.

Many traffic stars have followed this route. For example, Hua, who is currently competing with Shen Juan for the title of "Leader of the Chinese Music Scene", has attracted many crazy fans because of his innocent and pure boy character.

But the corresponding thing is that there is basically no possibility of recovery after the house collapses.

So Shen Juan certainly wouldn't take this route.

I don't rely on variety shows or personal image to make a living.

The reason why he took the job was simply because he wanted to make some quick money before the salary cap was fully implemented.

By the way, he ensures that he has sufficient exposure in the next few months: Longing is broadcast from April to July, and the film he is about to join, Sadness Is Like a River, is expected to be released in September.

Therefore, if the subsequent marketing operations are done properly, perhaps it will be possible to attract those passers-by fans who simply watch the variety show into the cinema, and contribute to the box office of his first leading actor movie to be released in theaters in his career.

Even though the movie was incredibly bad and Guo Jingming's reputation wasn't very good, I had the achievements in my hands and the world was mine.

Only with real achievements can you access better resources.

There is no way. Times are different now. As many famous top stars have failed in the film industry one after another, the capital in the domestic entertainment and film industry has completely become disenchanted with traffic actors.

And to put it bluntly,
If you don’t have traffic and exposure, you will become obscure quickly.

In fact, every top star is losing fans continuously.

The difference is that some top streamers gain fans faster than they lose them, while some top streamers spend more than they earn.

For example, Yangmao didn't want to appear on variety shows after recording "Flowers and Youth", and he rarely appeared in public. As a result, he just became popular in 16, but flopped in 17.

For someone like him who bets his entire future on his work, I don't know whether I should praise him for his professional pursuit or laugh at him for being lacking self-awareness and having no idea of what's going on.

Anyway, all the top actors in the domestic entertainment industry who became famous through hit TV series (except for those in gay dramas, whose fujoshi fans are really strong) have basically become obscurities within a year.

Yang Yang became popular for a year by bundling Li Yifeng, Wu Jiaheng and Lu Han to market the concept of the four top stars.

Deng Lun benefited from the hit drama "Ashes of Love" and was briefly popular for 11 months. However, when "The Untamed" and "Dear" were aired in the summer of 19, his fans instantly left him. He can only rely on his status in the fashion circle to maintain his value and rely on marketing hype to fool outsiders. In terms of fan data, he is on par with his old rival, Mr. Low.

Not to mention the top stream, even the second-best stream is hard to come by.

As a result, he subsequently took on a craze for variety shows to make money, which led to his fans unfollowing him and saying that he had become a variety show star.

(Gong Jun actually followed Deng Lun’s old path, grabbing fashion resources when he was popular, and after his works failed one after another, he could still brag about his status in the fashion circle)
As for the current boyfriend who is being intimate with her?

That's even more exaggerated. But in comparison, it's still better than Deng Lun.

After all, he has more fans who stay than Deng Lun.

But for some unknown reason, he became the limited top star in everyone's eyes, allowing Deng Lun to escape the disaster.

We took the car designated by the program team to a village in Tonglu County, where the recording location for the second season of Longing was located.

After about an hour's drive, Shen Juan finally opened the door and got out of the car with the "greeting gifts" he brought for the two teachers, and breathed the first breath of fresh air in the countryside.

As for his luggage
The program staff was very considerate and said that they could provide free door-to-door delivery service. After all, having Shen Juan bring the ingredients to the door would be much more effective than carrying a box.

On the other side, He Jiong, Huang Lei and Peng Yuchang, who had already arrived at the scene and recorded for a while, were also waiting for Shen Juan's arrival and talking about him.

"Hey Jiongjiong, Pengpeng, what kind of person is Shen Juan?" Huang Lei asked about Shen Juan's personality. He was the only one present who had not met Shen Juan before. However, Yixing said that he was a nice person and easy to get along with.

"Brother Juan is a really good person, very nice!" Peng Yuchang blindly supported Shen Juan, a good brother who was willing to lend him money to help him through the difficult times when he was down and out.

"He's a very good kid, you will like him." Teacher He also spoke well of Shen Juan with a smile.

However, he did not praise him too much, in order to prevent his old friend from having unnecessary emotions towards Shen Juan and repeating his life insights and chicken soup truths to the younger generation every day.

After walking along the country road for a while with two large bags of food, Shen Juan finally saw the familiar mushroom house in his memory. He excitedly asked the director behind the camera: "Am I there yet?"

Woof woof woof~~
At the same time, the two Shiba Inus in the yard also smelled the strange smell outside the door and started barking.

"Hey! Looks like he's here?"

Huang He, Peng Yuchang and others stood up from their seats at the same time and ran towards the door.

Teacher He saw from afar that Shen Juan was carrying a lot of things and guessed that they were his luggage. He even thought about going out to help Shen Juan move them, but the steps outside were not easy to climb.

But when I got closer, I realized that what Shen Juan was holding was not a piece of luggage, but a treasure!
This kid is really smart and capable since he was young. He even bought the ingredients in advance for the show and brought them with him. He even bought a lot more for backup.
So sensible!

"Teacher He, long time no see!" Shen Juan took the initiative to smile and greeted enthusiastically from a distance.

"Oh! I miss you so much, my Juan!" Teacher He rushed up enthusiastically and hugged Shen Juan tightly, "You are fully armed with so many bags, why don't you carry some for me? You must be tired after walking so far."

Since the senior had offered to help, Shen Juan naturally would not refuse. However, he did not really give anything to Teacher He. He just handed him the bag of vegetables, and he was the one who took the really heavy bag of ingredients.

Seeing this, Peng Peng also wanted to find something to do, but there was only one bag, and he couldn't carry both of them at the same time. So he could only follow Shen Juan, scratching his head, pretending to be busy, and chatting with him about his recent situation.

"Teacher Huang, look what Xiaojuan brought? They're all food! It looks like we can live a much more comfortable life this season." Walking up the steps, Teacher He happily shared his joy with Teacher Huang who was standing at the door.

"So good at handling things?" Teacher Huang turned his gaze to Shen Juan who was following Teacher He, looked him over, then waved and greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Xiao Shen! Come in and put your things down first."

"Okay, Teacher Huang." Shen Juan nodded, and followed Teacher He to carry two bags of ingredients into the kitchen and put them in the refrigerator.

Later, Shen Juan's several suitcases were also delivered by the staff. After putting the luggage upstairs and assigning a room, Shen Juan walked into the yard in his newly changed slippers and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

It looks quite clean and spacious, and it should feel good to record a show here.

Afterwards, everyone else came to the yard and chatted about the recording of the show, and their relationships became closer.

The next step is the normal recording process.

The director came out and read out the rules of this season. Huang Lei began to assign work tasks to everyone. The first batch of customers tomorrow called to place orders, and then after working hard and returning to the Mushroom House to take a shower, Shen Juan was finally able to taste the much-touted cooking skills of Chef Huang.

A local dish of Hangzhou, scallion stew.

It's probably something eaten by rolling up flour, fried dough sticks, and green onions. Shen Juan had never heard of it and didn't quite understand it.

But I don't know if it was intentional or just a coincidence.

Anyway, Huang Lei cooked for a long time, and the dish was not served until everyone was starving.

The four of them sat in the gazebo and ate the food with their hands.

How do you evaluate it?
It tastes good and tastes terrible.

It tastes good because you are hungry, and everything tastes delicious at this time.

The taste was bad because Shen Juan thought Huang Lei might have learned how to make scallion stew online just to record the show.

Anyway, the taste is weird.

It's hard to give a positive review.

I can only keep praising its fragrance and taste.

It is no wonder that Shen Teng made the humiliating comment on the show that Mr. Huang “is a jack of all trades, but not a master of none”.

After all, Huang Lei is such a person.
Compared to his main job as an actor and his marketing persona as a chef, he is actually more like a businessman who puts profit above all else.
